While I do not find the article I just read on the magazine’s web site, I did read a recent article about political contributions. I found the article very interesting for several reasons. The article discussed why it was still men that were the big donors, the ones getting face-to-face time with the candidates. Women… Continue reading A Most Interesting Article
I am not a big fan of MSNBC but I was channel surfing on Friday night – what do all good mothers of teenagers do on Friday nights ? We can’t possibly go out in public as that would mean we may run into our kids and their dates. Mike someone or other from Boston… Continue reading Politics and Healthcare Alert
src=\”https://nickisnook.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/1188044456-hr-220.jpg\” Who knows what I did but me? I, finally – after about eight weeks of saying I was going to, got my hair cut! My hair has been fairly long for several years. When I would get it cut, I would basically get a trim. Who knows the thought process! Certainly, not me. Anyway,… Continue reading I did it!
I am a science freak! I love a lot to do with different branches of science but my fav is earth science – which, of course, makes some of my kids laugh. Anyway, anything a parent or teacher can do to make science more interesting is good – the Perseid meteor showers, a once in… Continue reading Lunar Eclipse Alert
Well, no, I didn’t run over someone and not fess up or steal anything. This is a parental ethical dilemma. My daughter gave me one of her brand new textbooks from her first semester at college. She has since changed majors and schools. I had originally given her the money to pay for her textbooks.… Continue reading Ethical Dilemma
Nothing like three blog entries in one day to say “you should be doing something useful.” I was toying with an impromptu visit to my sister in NJ on Sunday. Then, I started thinking. Never a good idea. First, there is the youngest who would want to go see Aunt Beth. He is doing two… Continue reading The Annual Perseid Meteor Showers
I am on a roll today. Yesterday, work was really busy and left me little time to type. Due to that, I saw a lot of news/articles but do not put my opinion down to the page. I am a huge college football fan. Many reasons for this love but suffice it to say that… Continue reading Just what the h*** is college for?
I wrote, earlier this week, about whether the GOP is watching the Democratic gatherings and if the GOP will learn from the appearances of their soon-to-be competition. Now comes a bigger question. Just who, or what special interest group, do you have to be to get a sit down with the major contenders? As I… Continue reading Do politics cater to the special interest groups?
Wow! I have so much produce I am not sure what to do with it anymore. Yesterday, my basket of farm foods – mostly vegetables – came from the small farm I deal with. Number one – let me say community supported agriculture is amazing. This concept of providing farmers with upfront money to invest… Continue reading Farm Fresh Food (CSA)
I know that sounds like a really stupid title but it has been extremely hot, and in most parts of the country also humid, the past few days. And, even if it is not humid, when you hit 100 plus Fahrenheit, it is hot. Your body needs fluid replacement. I am not talking athletic fluid… Continue reading It’s Hot … What are you drinking?
