Seen near Durham, NC, on US Hwy 15-501 at Lamm's Grove intersection.
No doubt, Mr Obama has inherited a mess....and it takes time, careful planning and wisdom to fix problems -- especially big ones.
Not for nuthin', but didn't Mr Obama win North Carolina in the presidential election? Wow...it doesn't look like the people are so happy about that 'change' these days, now that they see where he's going with it.
My, how…

It's time for the Democratic Congress to roll up its sleeves and forget about The Party Of NO!
It's also time for the Democratic Congress, and the DNC, to take a few "Blue Dogs" and neuter them.
I wouldn't mind so much if the cRyght had something ANY THING positive to add to the discussion. Heck, at this point, even a NEGATIVE ALTERNATIVE (other than status quo) would be welcomed because it would demonstrate that SOMEONE on the cRyght is still alive. As it is, the pulse…

Writer/Director/Producer John Hughes died today in New York at the age of 59.
If you had a pulse in the 80's, you saw his films...."The Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles", "Pretty In Pink", "Vacation", "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", "Home Alone" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". He launched the careers of many young actors and gave us a zillion memorable lines. The soundtracks were the sound of a generation and sold millions. And we all learned that…

The bard, Barracuda Bob,
Once a hero of mine, could
Categorically claim
To spout perfectly putrid perturbing
Poetry all the time.
It wasn’t his way out wacky words
Which made him this hero of mine.
It was the courage to commit
His callous crimes,
That made him shine.
Standing slightly slumped with
Loose, lewd, overlapping lips
Laboring he blew raspberry kisses
At anyone who happened to walk by.
Then with a…

Speak Out Now to Protect Whales in the Pacific Northwest
The Navy is about to begin five years of sonar training that could harass or injure marine mammals 650,000 times. Tell our government to put protections in place now!

Private industry has sunk to a new low in trying to get their way. Documents recovered and shown in the mainstream media television outlets show a public relations firm hired by the insurance industry has been organizing an "astroturf" rebellion (a phony grassroots organizing effort) to disrupt town meetings during the month of August while Congress is in recess and discussing proposed changes to the health care delivery and insurance system.
Whatever the public decides it wants to…

But I do know he is coming back again.
The "he" my 8 year old son. He was traveling with his older cousin, (12), to visit their grandparents.
It would be my Nephew's 7th plane ride this summer. He has been flying alone since he was 7 multiple times during his winter, spring and summer vacations. Needless to say it was not a big deal for my sister in law.
But for my son and I it was a milestone and I have realized that Mommy needs to cut some apron strings. I…

I believe both parts are important.
Take the word "word" and write it down 5 or 6 times with no spaces....like this:
wordswordswordswordswordswordswords
Looks like "swords", doesn't it?
Our words can calm, comfort, create chaos and/or cut like a knife. Many people are not trained how to talk to others, so it's important that we are mindful of how our words will sound when they reach the ears that hear them and hearts that feel them.
When we…

Sara got her "real" cast today! She has a boot to wear on the bottom of it, so she can rest it when she's using the crutches. Doc says she has to use the wheelchair at school for the first two weeks. Then when she's really good at it, she can use the crutches at school.
She's SO much more comfortable. Thank you all for generous thoughts and prayers!

I started walking today---a new habit I am trying to develop. I let my treadmill take me places I’ve never gone before. It is amazing what the imagination will do.

My son was murdered on sept 13th of 94 but on the day of his death he became a Hero! About two weeks before his murder we where (his sisters) all watching a show on Organ Donors.We all got into a discussion on Organ donation all my children decided that if anything ever happened to them that they would want to be donors.After all they wouldnt need them ( it was their joke). They thought it was a great idea to save a family the pain of losing someone you loved.
Little did we know that…

As a truck driver I see all kinds of things and the one thing gets me PO'd. People who make a living by taking advantage of those who care for their fellow man.
I see these people all the time on the conners where truck stops ( trucker are some of the most caring people you'll come across) holding up signs stranded need gas- stranded hungry. Most of these people make a living do this. Example in Ca there is the same people with a gas can standing in front of their cars (van lately) stating…

Here's one from the early 70's (late 60's?) I think it's one of the better songs from those days, please let me know if this brings back memories for you!

If ya'll remember Spuff from TBD...... She visited Chicago this very weekend and we began dialog to agree to attempt to meet up. I had to be on duty to help Mother-in-law serve up ice cream for a crowd at a Michael Bolton concert in Williams Bay, Wisconsin Saturday night. Before this gig, I actually met with this great lady, her aunt and uncle and a close, personal friend of Spuff. I can tell you that I was very impressed with this woman of integrity.…

Extraversion is characterized by positive emotions, surgency, and the tendency to seek out stimulation and the company of others. The trait is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world. Extraverts enjoy being with people, and are often perceived as full of energy. They tend to be enthusiastic, action-oriented individuals who are likely to say "Yes!" or "Let's go!" to opportunities for excitement. In groups they like to talk, assert themselves, and draw attention to…

At one time, all someone had to say was "a black man did it", and the police would arrest every black person in sight.
Today, we have a black president, Barack Obama. It looks like President Obama's policies have helped to finally bring an end to the worst economic slump since the Great Depression in the 1930s.
We can all say with pride about our president: "A Black man did it!"
