Please get out to vote.... and vote for American Values

I know not many people read this blog... but I hope that those who do would send out the link to my blog for others to take a look at.

There are many fundamentally unsound issues w/ the election of B. Obama. First, his tax plans are not feasible. He can't take money from the rich to give it to all those who are "poor" and spend over 10 BILLION dollars in new gov't spending. Can we say double dipping.

Second, with those higher taxes on companies and corporations, who gets in the arse in the end....... YEP you got it right the AMERICAN people. We will pay more at the pump, in the grocery stores, at the clothiers and where ever else we can have prices go up and up and up!!!!

Third, his stance on abortion. I am a pro-life supporter with the exception of incest. He is for abortions up through the 9th month. Now, I know of a few children, one who is a teen and the other is 5 that were born pre-maturely and they are perfectly fine now. How can one say that there isn't life in the womb @ 9 months? To top it all off, if the abortion is botched, he doesn't support medical care for that child..... he wants them left to die.....How FREAKING fair is that??????

Fourth and for most... his lack of respect for women, their station in life and what we can do for our country. He must have forgotten or was never taught that is was the women who went into the workforce in WWII to help make planes, parachutes and the like for the war. Heck, he doesn't even pay the women in his campaign the same as the men. WTF?????

Lastly, do we really want a man who hangs with a terrorist, a biggot, a embezzeler , and was taught by a godless man. He's a Socialist my friends...... do we need to go back to the 30's of the depression..... HELL NO! I am not one who wants to lose my teaching job, beg for food and wonder where in the heck I am going to sleep night to night.
Under him, that's hwat would be happening........

Oh and the free health care.... THAT'S THE BIGGEST CRAP SHOOT IN THE WORLD. Want to wait until you die before you get that cancer treatment, that surgery for your breast cancer, the surgery to save your life by taking out your gall bladder....... that's what you will get..... Personally my health is more important than electing someone b/c he wants to make "CHANGE".... I did that for many years at McDonald's drive thru and all that got me was cold fingers...... Actually research the next 24 hours..... and if you haven't voted... vote AMERICAN.... not CHANGE.

Just my humble Opinion!


This is my sister's blog. Read her first 2 posts and then really think... I am pray and search your soul if you could really and truly live with Obama as your choice. If you haven't already voted, then do your civic duty to become informed!!

    3 Signs you know you'll make it!


    AMEN to this!!!




    This is so true for all our Military Wives out there! God bless you!




    I wish my students could realize this!!!


    This is how I feel about a certain Rat Bastard..... more at Midnight!!! ROFL

    Now this explains why I feel the way I do about these two getting elected..... They have it together!

    Obama has never accepted Hannity's invitation to come on his show...... WHY?

    Think before you vote............ who is Obama????



    This is scary.... more later!

    Over the last month....

    Well, I know I have been absent of the last month or so. Yeah, I know, Go Figure!

    Things were getting crazy with school, both the one I teach at and with my masters. Also, trying to keep up on the cooking, cleaning, washing, drying, folding, and putting away. Along with replacing 2 screens in my screen doors. It's been CRAZY I tell you!

    The other night I watched the VP debate. I was totally appalled with the moderator due to her lack of doing what a moderator is suppose to do. Next, I was enamored with the candidates responses to most of their questions. I think Joe Biden was totally regurgitating what his partner is saying and not voicing his opinions and beliefs. I think Sarah Palin did an awesome job bringing out the lies, misspoken words, and fallacies of the other ticket. I was not 100% won with her when she was named for the ticket at first, but I feel that she won hands down. Yeah, she gave a shout out! That was pretty cool for those kids to hear about themselves.

    I feel Palin will bring the conservative side of the country to McCain. I just can't stomach Obama. He hasn't had any executive experience at all! He's been in the Senate for 3 years. No committee experience, on the campaign trail for the last 2 years, and hasn't ran anything like a city or state. That speaks volumes to me. Even Ronald Regan had experience in running a state.

    You can say what you want about CHANGE. Heck, I change my clothes everyday...... what about change? What is the change? How is the change going to come about? What if you can't make the change? Then, what? What's in it for me? NOTHING! There isn't 95% of the taxpayers who will receive a tax break b/c only 75% pay taxes. If those who own business and have corporations are heavily taxed, who do you think they will pass this onto? Anyone????

    You got it the consumer!!!!!!!! So, yeah, I might get a tax break from the IRS, but my goods and services cost spike past that cut. So, who is getting screwed now? Yep, that's right..... ME and everyone else in my tax bracket and below $60,000 per year.

    Is this fair? Is this the American dream? I say NOT!

    Granted, I know there's problems in DC. No kidding!!!!! Maybe if the people of this great nation would stand up and make their representatives and senators work for the people and not for themselves then we would be much better off. I do not like this bail out crap.... It was full of crappy pork! Tax cuts for the beaver corp. WTH??

    Check out Glenn Beck's web site. I know there's a lot of people who do not like Rush or Sean... but Glenn Beck and Bill O'Rilley are on the mark too! There's a lot of good and informed information out there to clear up anyone's murky mind about this election!

    Well, enough of my rant. I just wanted to put it out there about the debate and how and where people need to stand up for this great nation, their FREEDOMS, and for the soldiers, sailors, and airmen that defend that freedom.

    Check out the link from my friend, Ski, about PC in politics.

    My new favorite song...

    Over You
    Chris Daughtry


    Now that it's all said and done,
    I can't believe you were the one
    To build me up and tear me down,
    Like an old abandoned house.
    What you said when you left
    Just left me cold and out of breath.
    I fell too far, was in way too deep.
    Guess I let you get the best of me..

    Well, I never saw it coming.
    I should've started running
    A long, long time ago.
    And I never thought I'd doubt you,
    I’m better off without you
    More than you, more than you know.
    I'm slowly getting closure.
    I guess it's really over.
    I'm finally getting better.
    Now I'm picking up the pieces.
    I'm spending all of these years
    Putting my heart back together.
    'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
    I got over you.

    You took a hammer to these walls,
    Dragged the memories down the hall,
    Packed your bags and walked away.
    There was nothing I could say.
    And when you slammed the front door shut,
    A lot of others opened up,
    So did my eyes so I could see
    That you never were the best for me.

    Well, I never saw it coming.
    I should've started running
    A long, long time ago.
    And I never thought I'd doubt you,
    I’m better off without you
    More than you, more than you know.
    I'm slowly getting closure.
    I guess it's really over.
    I'm finally getting better.
    Now I'm picking up the pieces.
    I'm spending all of these years
    Putting my heart back together.
    'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
    I got over you.

    Well, I never saw it coming.
    I should've started running
    A long, long time ago.
    And I never thought I'd doubt you,
    I’m better off without you
    More than you, more than you know.

    Well, I never saw it coming.
    I should've started running
    A long, long time ago.
    And I never thought I'd doubt you,
    I’m better off without you
    More than you, more than you know.
    I'm slowly getting closure.
    I guess it's really over.
    I'm finally getting better.
    Now I'm picking up the pieces.
    I'm spending all of these years
    Putting my heart back together.
    I'm putting my heart back together,
    'Cause I got over you.

    I love this song because it truly says what I feel about my ex.

    31 July 2008

    The past two weeks have been fun! I have gone out on a date, went to my weekend of class, and had a colonoscopy done! Talk about a pain in the butt!! The date went ok, the class was good and well the colonoscopy.... good news so far there!

    Being divorced hasn't really sunk in I guess. Maybe b/c the jerk was gone for 15 months on deployment to Afghanistan, and I moved out before he came back to the states. Who knows. All I know is, that you can't miss something when you truly never had it in the first place. (Good quote from my friend, Angela).

    How are all my blogging friends? I haven't really heard from a lot of you. I know I have been MIA on your blogs too. I apologize.

    Well, it's T-minus 17 days before I go back to school. I need to make the best of it! I hope all of you have a wonderful rest of summer!

    HUGS

    It's done!

    Well, what was started 8 years ago, was finished yesterday. My marriage is now over. I really don't know how I should feel. On one hand, I am totally ticked off b/c I don't believe in divorce. On the other side, I am glad to be free of the turmoil I have suffered over the last 2 years. I am not 100% guilt free in this, but I wasn't the catalyst either.

    I really don't have much more to day. I hope you all have a great rest of the week and a wonderful weekend!!!!!

    Oh the places I haven't gone......

    Just stopped in to let ya'll know I am alive and kicking. I had many assignments to finish before last weekend's class. Now I have a 4-6 page paper to write for class. UGH!

    I haven't done much since school has let out. I have hung out with friends, went out to dinner with them, and cleaned up around here at the house. My lil man is coming home this Sunday and I can't wait!!!!!! He's been w/ his daddy for a month. I can't believe that he stayed that long, but his dad is known to spoil him. UGH!


    I hope all of you have a safe and blessed 4th of July.

    School's OUT!!!

    Well, all school is out for the summer!!! I am so happy!!! I still have a few things to do, but I am sure I can get through it w/ no problems.

    Now, for the real work, cleaning the house, unpacking everything FINALLY, and resting. Oh yeah, and working on MY school work. LOL!

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!!

    02 June 2008

    Been Gone....

    Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I have been busy with my lil man's b-day, school wrapping up, TESTING!!!!!!!!!!, and starting my masters program. Yes, I am finally biting the bullet and starting my masters. I started this weekend with Lesley University @ my school district's high school. It's an awesome program b/c we meet one weekend per month for 22 months. Granted, we will have work in between those times, but it's nothing like having to arrange babysitting for evening classes.

    On a good note, school is over June 10th!!!! Lil man will be having his little promotion program next Monday. Then, it's off to Kindergarten!!!! Man, I am feeling the age..... LOL

    I hope everyone has a good week, and I will post more often once school lets out for the summer!

    HUGS!

    26 April 2008

    Back!

    I am now back online and ready to blog. Things here are still crazy. I am trying to unpack and get settled. Lil man and I are doing just fine on our own. On your own? Yes, on our own. The person who I thought I would be married to forever has turned into a huge jerk. He doesn't want to be married, have a family, but to be alone and have "his time"!

    He's been gone for over a year deployed overseas. So, he hasn't really been here anyway. Lil man is really down and out. He just doesn't understand why his daddy isn't going to live us anymore. I just hate it!

    My family has been really supportive from all over the country! They have been the back bone I needed over the past few months. THANK YOU!! I have many friends from work and here that are military that are really helping me out! I am so blessed to have them in my life. If it wasn't for them I think I would be going crazy! THANK YOU TOO!!!!

    Well, going to get more unpacking and moving done around the house. HUGS!!!

    Taking a leave

    I am taking a brief leave of absence from the blogging scene. Life as I have known it is changing drastically. I will be back a new me. I hope everyone has a great APRIL!!!

    My Town Monday!

    This is my second post that blog buddy,Travis Erwin, inspired his blog buddies to participate in.

    I did find an interesting video of my town:





    Some points of interest are:

    Downtown
    City Hall
    War Memorial
    Saint Louis Church
    - Where my family attends church and where DG, our brother and I went to elementary school.

    Some other interesting facts about my town is that the railroad cuts the city off from the "outside world" if a train is stopped on the north and west ends of town. There have been days when I was stopped by a train and really needed to get on the other side of the tracks to get to work.

    There was a time when a fire broke out on the North side of town and none of the fire fighters on that side of town could get to the fire station to get their gear. It was pretty awful. They had to have the guys who could get to the station, get their gear, but the only problem was the fire trucks and ambulances were not able to respond due to the train cutting off the town on both sides. They had to call the Nimishillen Fire Department to assist them until the train moved. There has always been talk about an overpass or something to be done so that this doesn't ever happen again. Like most towns people, we will believe it when we see it! LOL

    These same trains lulled me to sleep when they passed through town as I was growing up. I miss those nights when you could feel the bed rock just enough that you were put into a deep sleep. The railroad is what built my town and it will always be an important part of my little town.



    This is our high school's home page

    Louisville Leopards
    This is my alma mater:
    Saint Thomas Aquinas Knights

    Recently, the city had to build a new middle school due to the population growing to the point where the old Jr. High School couldn't handle the amount of children who passed through the halls. I substituted in the old Jr. High, and I am going to miss seeing the inside of that building. The reason? My Great-Aunt Loretta was the Louisville Education Association's Teacher of the Year and her name was displayed there at the entrance on a plaque for everyone to see. At one time, I wanted my name to be right there with hers. That is still my dream one of these days.

    That's the end of my ramblings this week...... till then!!!!

    02 March 2008

    My Town, Louisville, OH!

    MY TOWN MONDAY!!



    This is a shot of one of our downtown store. It's Penny Alley. It's an old five and dime. Granted, there's not much there anymore for 5 or 10 cents, but it's a great store!!

    Before Penny Alley, the city's only hardware store was located there.
    DG use to work for them too!! Our Handy DG!



    From the website:
    Louisville, OH


    Constitution Town

    In 1952, Louisville resident Olga T. Weber petitioned municipal officials to establish Constitution Day, in honor of the ratification of the US Constitution in 1789. Presiding Mayor Gerald A. Romary proclaimed September 17, 1952, as Constitution Day in the city. The following April, Weber requested that the Ohio General Assembly proclaim September 17 as state-wide Constitution Day. Her request was signed into law by Governor Frank J. Lausche.

    Weber didn't stop there. In August 1953, she urged the United States Senate to pass a resolution designating September 17-23 as Constitution Week. The Senate and House approved her request and it was signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. On April 15, 1957, the City Council of Louisville declared the city Constitution Town. The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society later donated four historical markers, located at the four main entrances to the city, explaining Louisville's role as originator of Constitution Day.



    The city boldly states that it is the Constitution Town which also resides in Constitution Township!


    There are no famous people from my town, but Ohio has produced many entertainers, football players, and TV analysts. Drew Carey, Halle Berry, Dean Martin, Bob Hope, Chris Spielman, and Eddie George.

    That's my town.... more to come next week!

    Things in my life..........

    Things in my life are just as crazy as they were a few months ago. Big man is still gone and Lil man is still driving me nutso. LOL

    Also, Big Man is being a Big JERK! (being really nice) Let's just say that Lil man and I are moving in a few months and Big Man is not going w/ us.

    Life as I thought it was suppose to be is changing...... maybe for the worse, but I feel it might be for the better.

    My cousin stopped by this weekend with a college friend of hers. We had an awesome visit and was chit chatting about our family. Granted our family is pretty big, so we did have a lot to talk about! From my point of view I have 21 cousins to try to stay up on. Not going so well there. I have about 20 2nd cousins to learn names of, and try to put names to faces. This is also not going very well. It's hard when most of our family lives in and around Ohio, and others live in GA, WI, NC, TX, and VA to name a few states that I have family members living.

    Could you just imagine the family reunion. We would all have to wear name tags with pictures of our parents just so we knew who we all belonged too. I personally think it would be great b/c then I could catch up with the cousins that are close in age with me and that I know the best and then to try to figure out all those kids..... LOL

    Well, that's my rant for tonight. God bless us all!!!

    03 February 2008

    The New WHO are Super Bowl Champions????


    Well, the New York Giants pulled off the greatest upset in NFL history! They did it with shear team work and confidence. I tip my hat to them and their MVP, Eli Manning. I can't believe just a short year ago his brother, Payton, was the MVP. Gotta love those Manning brothers!!

    I hope everyone has a great week. Remember, Mardi Gras in 2 days!!!!

    27 January 2008




    Things here have been hectic. Between work, school, homework, and house work, I have not been able to find the time to even call my own most days.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

    14 January 2008

    2008 Has to be MY year!

    Well, my 2007 finished up with a bang. Well, actually a shot through the heart. (figuratively speaking). Some personal things blew up in my face just a few days before ringing in the new year. It sucks, but hey I am dealing. New Year's Eve was spent ringing it in with....... my lil one and myself. That's it! We had no where to go and nothing to do... boo hiss. Anyway, I rang it in, lil man slept through it, and well I guess that says most of it.

    New Year's day was spent doing one thing, watching college football bowl games. Pretty impressed with most of the games. My VOLS won!!!!!! I was pretty psyched about that! Poor Badgers had to go home and lick their wounds.

    Then it was back to school on the 2nd for teachers......HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY! We socialized, worked on stuff for the kiddos, and then went to lunch. After that it was cleaning of the room, desks, and my desk (which was pretty scary). Things at work are going great. Thankfully I have that part of my life that's in order. Now, to get other aspects of my life back on track...... which track will it be????? Who knows. We shall see!

    Well, blogger fans, I hope you had a great New Year and are great to make '08 GREAT!
