Okay, I went to the dictionary. The synonyms for the word debate in the noun format are argument, controversy, disputation, contention. I guess I am way off, then, in saying that the recent “no rules” debates held on CNN are not what they should be. I delved further looking to see why I always thought… Continue reading Just what is a debate?
Or, in this case, the difference between democrat and republican. Today, I listened to two different candidates for their party’s presidential nominations withdraw from the races. The differences in the speeches these two men gave were vast. John Edwards spoke of his vision, his life’s purpose, the issues that had been the pinnacle of his… Continue reading The Difference Between Day and Night
Or so I thought when I awoke this morning. Believe it or not, here where the jokes are that we can count the days with sunshine on our fingers and toes the sun is shining brightly. That having been said, weather is a huge part of this wonderful (Does italics donate sarcasm in writing? I… Continue reading Just Another Winter Day
I am not a believer in litagious behaviour. I do think that our country would be in better shape if the answer to every alleged wrong was not a law suit. That having been said, if I were a registered democrat in either Michigan or Florida, I would be clamoring for a lawyer or the… Continue reading How do you feel if you are a democrat in Michigan or Florida?

I cannot believe that I was the only one watching Senator Ted Kennedy today as he endorsed Barrack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination who was thinking of the irony in what Kennedy had to say. I was trying so hard not to laugh at the words Kennedy was professing that I had a stomach… Continue reading Kennedy Endorses Obama
This week is a political junkie overload. Beware! It all actually started Saturday and will run for ten days. It is almost too much for me to even think about as it will be big when it all ends in the wee morning hours of February 6th on the east coast. Saturday was the South… Continue reading Political Junkies Take Heed
Lori Roberts lives in Las Vegas. She works at an arts and crafts store – Michael’s – and has convinced them to supply the raw materials to make Valentines to send to our troops in harms way. Since Nellis AFB is nearby, they will transport these cards. I told Lori I would help her. I… Continue reading Valentines for the Troops
My Simple Abundance posts are not quite daily. As the year goes on, they will be come less frequent also. Just making sure you know. As I was reading on the tenth about old cemeteries, several thought quickly ran through my mind. First was how grateful I was to be alive. The second thing was… Continue reading More About Gratitude
