Sunday 08/14/2011

A rainy Sunday afternoon. No one expects anything to be done on a day like this.

I was watching the Sunday morning shows earlier and I realized that I'm already fed up with the coverage of the 2012 presidential election and it is still 14 months away. We should be able to limit the time spent on campaigning the way England does. Everybody gets the same amount of time and the people are not hounded into apathy by the process. I'd also like to make a rule that canadates  answer the questions they are asked instead of just going off in their own direction to bash someone else. Anybody with me on that?
Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right.  ~H.L. Mencken, 1956  


So not much happening today. Eileen has the 3 Henderson kids here this weekend while their parents enjoy a weekend away. She had them over Karen's for a swim yesterday and today they are going to the movies.  My sister is an excellent caregiver and I hope the families she works with appreciate her as much as they should. 


Posts from facebook today and yesterday:

     Special request to all kids returning to school in the next few days. If you see someone who is struggling to make friends or being bullied because they don't have many friends or because they are shy or not as pretty or not dressed in the most "in" clothes, PLEASE step up. Say hi or at least smile at them in the hallway. You never know what that person might be facing outside of school. Your kindness might just make a BIG difference in someone's life!! ~ Help stop the Bullying...

     If you're not being treated with love and respect, check your price tag. Perhaps you have marked yourself down, hmmm? It's YOU who tell people what you're worth by what you accept. Get off the clearance rack and get behind the glass where they keep the valuables! Bottom line: VALUE YOURSELF! If you don't, no one else will! I Think you should Re-post if you like. You may help someone get off the CLEARANCE RACK.

What my paretns taught me:
Religion - "You better pray that comes out of the carpet"
Logic - "Because I said so, that's why"
Irony - "Keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about"
Wisdom - "When you get to my age you'll understand"
Justice - "One day you'll have kids, I hope they turn out just like you!!"

For those of you who do not watch GRAYS ANATOMY  here is a link to Sara Ramirez singing The Story. She is a Tony winning actress who can really belt out a tune.

It has become a favorite of mine since the musical episode on Grays.
