From Those Who Have Gone Before

I was looking through some inspirational quotes today and came across some really great ones. I thought I’d share my favorites.
One thing each of these people had in common: They didn’t give up. Age didn’t stop them. Disabilities didn’t slow them down. Neither did political views or lack of education. These people were successful because [...]

Stupid Is as Stupid Does

This whole missing child case in Florida is driving me nuts. This little girl’s mom is a piece of work. Now these pictures have come out of her partying in a club the day after she said her daughter “went missing”. She was supposedly tracking down the person who took the little girl. Yeah, right. [...]

Church Shooting

Well, as many of you probably have heard, there was a church shooting here in Knoxville on Sunday. Knoxville has had some terrible tragedies over the past couple of years. ( the Channon Christiansen/Chris Newsome carjacking/murders and now this fatal shooting.)
The thing is, now all the news articles talk about how the shooter was [...]

That’s It! I’m buying a cow.

I was at Walmart in Knoxville today. Yes, I was back at the refrigerated section again. (I feel like I spend a good portion of my life at the grocery store!) A gallon of milk has gone up to $4.59. That is highway robbery. (remember it was only $2.89 in Ohio) I am going [...]

On The Road Again……

How many people does it take to drive to Tennessee? In our case 4. I am leaving Ohio today with the 3 kids. I don’t really want to leave Scott in Ohio, but I have no choice. He is “left behind” to deal with the house construction getting under way…..I have the kids, and must [...]

Doing The Happy Dance

Scott and I and the kids are back in Ohio. (it will be so nice once we actually are able to move into our house!) We were at Wal-mart the other night picking up some food staples. We knew the kids would want some milk so off to the refrigerated section we went…..
What a pleasant [...]

Savage Ideas About Autism

The other day I read an article in the paper that conservative radio talk show host, Michael Savage, had said some things to make parents of autistic children upset. Then yesterday, on the way to Ohio, I was flipping radio channels and came across his show. Scott and I were both listening and we could [...]

Women Are From Earth

Women are from Earth and men REALLY are from Mars. Women. Men. Females. Males. Girls. Boys.
Now, I must say that I LOVE men. (and yes, my one man in particular:) I’ve been thinking about the male species this morning.
The really deep questions of life…..how come a man can get up in the morning have beard [...]

Something Fishy Is Going On

Okay, something weird is going on with this young mother (who is now in custody) and her 2 year old daughter that has been missing for over a month. A normal person would have a lot of questions about this….Why did the mom wait for weeks before telling anyone her daughter was missing? Why, once [...]

Been Thinking About It

Now, before I even get started on today’s blog I want to say this…..I enjoy receiving comments from people but today’s blog will probably be a sticking point with some…..please do not send me anything hateful for bringing this up…..it’s just something I’ve been thinking about.
Over the past several months there has been a lot [...]
