Celebrating Gratitude...

I think we should have boycotted black Friday this year. This is the third year of NO Christmas for a lot of people. The country is in a bad place and black Friday is a myth. Here we will give you 5 things that are good deals at or below cost and then entice you once you are in the door.

In my opinion8d self... we had NO business shopping black Friday this year. I think we should go back to basics this year and scrap all of the commercialism behind the holiday and celebrate the joy or family and friends. Celebrate by sharing time and ourselves, maybe sharing a small gift each. Celebrate the gratitude of the season... not the selfishness and certainly NOT corporate greed.

Here is a clue... if your children rip open a present, look at the gift, and set it aside... then parents, you are NOT doing your job!

This year, as it has been each of the past years, people are struggling and many wont have a Christmas BUT those who wont have the traditional Christmas will have the pleasure of celebrating the true blessing of the holiday... it's time to Celebrate Gratitude!

The Obama Secret errr... Certificate

Ok this has been a long and ongoing discussion that in my humble opinion, is taking up too much time and distracting people from dealing with issues that could be better served of our governments time.Where is the President's Birth Certificate... Is he from the US?

So here is what I have to say about it... TRUMP... YOU ARE FIRED.

(And go get some better lookin' hair with all the money you got.)

The Meaning of Life, a Photo and a Smile

Earlier today I was walking by a nearby school. There was a little girl, maybe about 7 years old. She was severely handicapped. She was being lowered in her wheelchair from the bus that just picked her up for school.

The little girl was met by two of her teachers. She was grinning from ear-to-ear with the most radiant smile that really touched me. In her hand was a paper that had a copy of two pictures from Halloween. The grin was from her joy of her pictures and her pride at being able to share them with her teacher.

That one moment touched me, nearly to tears, in fact, I was choking back the tears. I wanted to go over to the little girl and let her share her picture with me too but honestly I don’t know what the scenario was and I certainly didn’t want to scare her. (although something said to me that she would have been just as proud showing off her Halloween picture to me.

So instead of approaching the little girl, I decided to share my moment here. See this is the reason of why we are all here. And that little girl showed me that with her radiant smile. We are all here to love, to be joyful. and to share that joy with others.

Sometimes it is funny to me that we, the adults, are not always the ones teaching our children; but often, it is them... teaching us. They constantly remind us to love, to laugh, to smile, and to let go and simply enjoy the moment.

Operation: Black Hole

I read in a news story online that moms didn’t like the idea of children getting all that candy for Halloween.

Someone got the idea to ship it overseas to the guys in Iraq. What a great idea and apparently so because now it’s the thing to do. Candy donations are up in the tens of thousands and growing.

Say it with me…Awwwww wasn’t that nice?

So I have a question.

If it’s not ok for the kids to get the candy, then why are we shipping it to the servicemen? I mean if it’s bad for teeth, it’s bad for teeth, right? And I don’t think these guys exactly have Dr. Warner, DDS handy, now do they?

Well reading on, I guess someone else asked that same question too because the answer was right in the article. Someone asked, “hey, if it’s bad for the kids, isn’t it bad for the servicemen, too?”

Seriously, like you had to ask? And yet, right there in the article… was the answer …

Oh yea, we give it to the Iraqi children.

DUH?!
Is this a new form of weapons of mass destruction??...    on teeth?

The Lure of Matt Cedeno...

Every day I logged into my FaceBook account to check all of the mail from my stalkers...   every day, I see the handsome and seductive face of

Matt Cedeno.

And every day, it draws me in, makes me... drool... and I want... chicken.

Kate's Fox Trot?

Did you get a chance to see the new season of Dancing with the Stars? I don't generally watch this show, but I saw a commercial and was absolutely fascinated by Kate Gosselin.

Why, do you ask? Well maybe you didn't ask but you are here so I might as well tell you anyway. I have never seen anyone dance as badly as Kate. BADLY. She was so stiff that it looked like it actually hurt. It hurt me to watch; and yet, it was one of those situations where I was fascinated and for the life of me, I couldn't turn away.

In the end... I concluded that Kate was not really doing the Fox Trot... but the Robot.

So what do YOU think? Take a moment and vote in the POLL.
