Let's discuss what is going on with our country and the world today.

JUST GOT TO WONDERING..ALL THESE AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN BEING KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN..SEEING OBAMA IS THE LAME ARSE PRESIDENT NOW, WHERE ARE THE 80'S GALS NOW TO BLAME HIM SEEING HE IS THEIR PRESIDENT? ISN'T THAT HOW IT WENT? OR WILL IT STILL BE PRESIDENT BUSH'S FAULT? COME ON GALS, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HEAR YOUR INPUT ON YOUR PRESIDENT NOW!!
Look at the families who will have such a sad Christmas...so many lives being lost. War...I hate it! I also realize it's part of life ... always has been and will be to the end.
Patti i was thinking about them too. All of you ladies and youir families. You are thought of often and we wish you well!!!
SAME TO YOU EMILY. WE THINK OF ALL OF YOU OFTEN AND HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL. KEEP IN TOUCH. EM, HAVE YOU BEEN GETTING MY EMAILS TO YOU? LET ME KNOW AND I CAN SEND YOU SOME MORE TO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND A CHUCKLE COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.
I was thinking about Melanie, Katie and Jennifer this morning. I hope they are all doing well and Katie, if you read this let us know how your little one is doing. Miss you ladies.

Yeaterday on face the nation they spent the last few minuets talking about firsts with first ladies and of course nothing was said about republican first ladies .The big deal was that mrs Obama went bare foot on the white house lawn. Yes that was really a first. I'm sure that the others were to smart as well as to classy to do such a thing .
Well, maybe that's all they could come up with for her. Oh...the mainstream media have nothing good to say about Republicans but not to worry...they'll be paying attention to them soon.
Today is my husband and my 41st wedding anniversary !!!!
CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH!! WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY FOR THE BOTH OF YOU. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOURSELVES.
Congratulations Emily!!! Way to go. I had 24 years but that was two husbands combined! :(
Thanks Patti , it really dosn't seem like 41 years. We were both 19 years old and kind of grew up togeather. You think you know everything at nineteen but you really don't know anything.
MORNING ALL..HAVING MY MORNING BREW AND LAUGHING WHILE HEARING OBAMA SAYS HE WILL "WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME" TO SEND OVER MORE TROOPS TO AFGHANISTAN. CAN YOU SAY "INEXPERIENCE"? HOW MUCH LONGER CAN YOU WAIT OBAMA? HAVEN'T YOU WAITED LONG ENOUGH? DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE AND KNOW HOW THAN A GENERAL WHO HAS BEEN DOING THIS HIS ENTIRE ADULT LIFE? YOU, WHO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE WHAT-SO-EVER ON MILITARY AFFAIRS? COME ON OBAMA, LET SOMEONE MAKE THE CALL YOU DON'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OR KNOW-HOW TO DO!! TIME TO STEP DOWN, MR. ROCK-STAR!!
Trace Adkins was on Beck and he said Obama usually looks like a deer caught in the headlights. It's kind of sad because Obama does look confused. As one paper in another country put it..."he hasn't accomplished anything of substance yet". And...another one said "the trip to Florida is another "in campaign mode" trip. He's been on 24 golf outings...the same number George Bush took about two years if not longer to get in. And that's in NINE MONTHS! If I had voted for him I would be so ashamed.
TONS OF PEOPLE ARE NOW REALIZING THE MISTAKE THAT WAS MADE IN ELECTING HIM. HE HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND CONTINUES TO DOUBLE TALK AND LIE. I DON'T SEE MUCH CHANGING IN THE FUTURE EITHER. HE IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO US ALL AND THIS COUNTRY. DON'T KNOW HOW HE SLEEPS AT NIGHT WITH ALL THOSE LIES HE TELLS. HE WAS A POSER FROM THE START AND HE, ALONG WITH HIS STAFF/ADMINISTRATION ARE RUINING OUR COUNTRY. HE AND HIS WIFE SURE ENJOY SPENDING OUR HARD EARNED MONEY THOUGH. WHEN WILL IT EVER END?
I'm sorry to hear when anyone gets divorced. It must be hard on anyone, gay or strait. I have heard that woman in eastern countries can be stoned to death by their mother in laws if they think their not worthy wives for their sons. NO trials or anything. Thank God i live in america. The first years of our marriage i couldn't cook ,my house keeping had a lot to be desired and i didn't have the education my sister-inlaws had so i would have been stoned and i mean hit with rocks but as the years went by my housekeeping got a lot better my cooking a little better and she wrote a letter to me saying through the years she has seen that she couldn't have ask for a better daughter-in-law or better mother for her grand kids. We became good friends and even now years since she passed i still think of her when certain things happen and i try to handle them like she would . I have thought a lot of her. P.S my as you see my education has not gotten better at all, so as have been said. You can't win them all.
Emily, my first divorce was awful...my kids were little and I was crazy about hubby. He couldn't grow up and man up though. I saw him about four years ago and he still hasn't. Sad. The second divorce was such an emotional release from a lot of crap that I was happy when it was over. My first marriage lasted ten years and the second one fourteen. Don't sell yourself short....you are a smart woman!!
Patti i have said it before and can't say it enough you truly are a lady and their so hard to find these days.
Well thank you and I happen to think you are pretty cool yourself. How about our daughters having the same birthdays!
Hey everyone--I have been browsing the net and there are some real nuts in this world! I guess you heard the "sad" news Rosie and her "wife" are splitting. I bet the wife got sick and tired of that obnoxious Rosie. You know there are some sick people--all this killing of young girls, so very upsetting. I also read some female journalist in Sudan (I think) was arrested and sentenced to 60 lashes for wearing pants deemed too tight. They dismissed the 60 lashes and fined her. Wouldn't 60 lashes kill someone? I am so thankful to live in ther USA.
I heard that...well Rosie was a leader in wanting marriage for gay couples so now she can pay for a divorce and probably lose half of what she owns!! How's that working for you Rosie?
IT IS PROBABLY WORKING AS GOOD FOR HER AS OUR "CHANGE" IS WORKING FOR US!! DON'T CARE ABOUT ROSIE O'DONNELL AS SHE MADE HER BED, NOW SHE CAN LAY IN IT..BY HERSELF!! I AM WONDERING IF THE SAME "DICORCE" RULES APPLY TO GAY/LESBIAN COUPLES WHEN THEY GO TO COURT? WILL THEY CLAIM THAT THIS WAS NOT AN "OFFICIAL" UNION, THUS THE DIVORCE RULES DO NOT APPLY? I LAUGH WHEN I HEAR OF HER.
I know...change...I wonder how many people knew this was the kind of change that was coming. A few did. The others...seemed to be caught up in some kind of cult like thinking. Sad.
OH MY, LET'S ALL VOTE SO WE CAN MAKE "HISTORY" NOT VOTE FOR THE BETTER OF OUR NATION!! IDIOTS, JUST PLAIN IDIOTS. WELL LOOK WHERE THEIR "VOTE FOR HISTORY" GOT THEM..WELL..ALL OF US. HOPE ALL OF YOU "BELIEVERS IN CHANGE" ARE READY TO FORK OVER MORE OF YOUR HARD EARNED CASH-OLA!! THAT IS, IF ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY "HAVE" PAYING JOBS!! DID ANYONE HEAR THAT ACORN NOW WANTS TO SUE? HOW FUNNY IS THAT!! THEY WANT "MORE" TAXPAYER DOLLARS!! I AM SO TIRED OF ALL OF THIS BULLCRAP COMING FROM OBAMA AND HIS CRONIES..LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE. HE IS SUCH A FAKE, HE IS EVEN BELIEVING WHAT HE SAYS.
Mirn glad to hear your mom is doing well. I'm also sorry to hear of the young boy that died from your town . As sad as it is for all who loved him i truely believe some people are just born to be angels. They come in all ages.
Thanks Emily. Mom had a good day today. Still in CVICU of course and will be a few more days--probably will go to a room Monday. She is a little disoriented, which is to be expected. We'll never convince her she was mixed up about stuff!!! ThANKS for your prayers!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Whats going on in this world today. Babies like the little girl murdered and then thrown away like no more then garbage. I don't understand how this little girls parents can make it though this. Some times i think we are already living in hell. We all know that baby girl must be in heaven right now .
Hey Emily. That happens too often and it needs to stop! What a horrible thing for someone to do. People need to google and find out who lives near them and then pay attention. I have zero tolerance for anyone who can hurt a child.
Hey guys--Well, tomorrow is Mom's heart surgery. We are all as prepared as one can get. Our houses are clean! LOL ANyway, would appreciate any prayers and thoughts. Will let you know as soon as I can how it turned out. Thanks.
