A Mother Knows Her Baby!

That title statement is what I heard a baby expert say on the news recently.  Suddenly my memory flashed back to the hospital and the birth of my own baby girl. She was an exceptional beauty on that morning when I first laid eyes on her so of course I wou …

The Bride, Groom, and the 40 Something's

My girl’s of the B. I. T. C. H. Club and I planned the trip to Mexico well. The days were for lounging at the pool & sun, afternoons, of course, shopping, night was dedicated Tequila trouble. We ended each evening with a final poolside drink and review at about 2:00 am.

Memories of Christopher Hitchens:

Most now deny they ever supported the Iraq war but because there was only one vocal opponant during that bad time in Slate's early years my hat goes off to the sole anti-war person speaking up loudly though I don't remember his words.

When a plane goes down...

We met our neighbor after months of saying "Hi" while walking our dogs.  He seems a nice enough chap and somewhat tight in his skin or perhaps better described as being on the rigid side.  Certainly if you concluded anything from his manner, the thought would include qu …

An Open Letter To Cain

Buying a home? It is sad out there folks

Where I am, most homes for sale are Short Sales. Behind those short sales are real life heartbreaks. Gone are the old foreclosure swift move of buying a bigger home and defaulting on the original home after you move.

Disrespecting Women In Sexual Harrassment

I differ from many people so I do see why some use Paula Jones as an example for why they can or should disrespect the women who came forward about Cain. Add to this that there indeed are people who lie for whatever reason they have for being a liar.

Troy Davis is executed for murder

Death is what sometimes happens when one is given the death penalty.  I was most amazed by how many were suddenly so sure he was innocent given that he was one bad dude.  Someone was going to die on that night that he went to the party.  It …

Are McDonald's and Spongebob bad or are parent's simply weak?

Today's news shows Spongebob now being bad for children and it forced me to think about the last bad guy wrecking children.  I also read an article about how Mickey-Dee has changed the Happy Meal menu somewhat to meet demands of parents.  There is not a massive change b …

I Don't Always Complete What I Sta...

Funny thing but with success and failure I am more entertained by the categories I call the "NO" of my life.  I call it that because these are the times I make sure I fail at something so the return of "No" is the nothing I reach for.  I think I love the reach …

6 Year Old Says "I Forgive Him" (shark that bit her) Is there a lesson?

Little 6 year old Lucy Magnum was bitten and almost lost her foot and her leg and she came out of that experience by not being angry at sharks.  I think this shows that children are resilient and can blossom in adversity.  It may also be that children hav …

Gaga, And Wheelchairs, And Mermaids, Oh My

Lady Gaga recently appeared on stage as a mermaid in a wheelchair and it set off shouts of wrongdoing.  I get why someone with a disability may take the act wrong because they have no choice in use of a wheelchair, but being this angry over the incident is a little …

Today's Lesson for Explaining America: Anchor Baby

For anyone who is unfamiliar with new-speak in America, the words "Anchor Baby" is what we call fellow Americans who were born in America with the same rights as any American.  We don't know what to do with "some" Americans.  Should we decide what Americans born in Amer …

Don't know why you say Goodbye I say Hello

I must say that I love the end of the world theories as much or more than I love drug side effects listed on TV.  It is hard to beat the beauty of the warning on Viagra causing blindness making Grandma's from another era right.  Who can res …

Converting Utah Mormon Missionaries

The missionaries will never be the same and I am about to alienate myself with everyone but Agnostics so I savor this. Had my husband not arrived to give the Mormon Missionaries an escape, I think I may have converted one of them to an Agnostic "believer".

A Lesson I learned from Bernie Madoff

Bernie is in jail where he belongs for ripping off investors and changing people's lives in a negative way. Don't get me wrong as I hate a thief but there is a bigger lesson from Bernie than theft.

Newsvine Poetic Sidebar Moment

So here it is: I love poetry but suspect what I love best in reading any poets work is how it grabs me either haunting or surprising. I've read many and admit being moved by most like Dylan with: Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylan Thomas
