Be a Hero

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… Continue

Con Artists

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… Continue

I met Spuff at "Popeye's" restaruant in Lake Geneva Wisconsin.

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.… Continue

Introverts Are Not Shy!?

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… Continue

A Black Man Did It!

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!"

Losing my "religion", so to speak.

The current state of Inertia in our Nation's capitol has had the effect of making ONE fundamental fact crystal clear to me:

The people I vote into office to go to DC and represent me don't give a flying fuck at a rolling donut hole about me.

This new administration went to Washington like Jimmy Stewart's "Mr. Smith", but unlike Mr. Smith, they quickly fell under the spell of lobbyists for the Health Insurance Industry, who are shoveling out the cash at over a million dollars a… Continue

Michelle's Garden is Tainted

"New homes are full of questions and possibilities. What color to paint the walls? How to arrange the furniture? What to plant in the garden? The Obama family must have asked a lot of those same questions when they moved into the White House. However, the first lady's dreams of growing an organic vegetable garden have been dragged down by a previous resident that refuses to leave: sludge.

Various sources within the Buzz are reporting that… Continue

Supplements: Hints on Label Reading

There are mind-boggling numbers of supplements available on today's market. In addition to the primary ingredients, many products contain other questionable ingredients in the form of fillers, additives, and excipients.

Is TBD Getting The Promotion It Needs?

What I'm wondering is whether TBD is getting promoted on the internet? It should be! The way I learned about the old TBD is through an ad I saw on Myspace. But for that ad, I never would have learned about TBD. Robin needs to let the world know that WE ARE HERE!

The Sublimities of Schumann

I'm a loner who engages in few activities. Small things are important for me. I can still remember that it was five years ago, during the summer of 2004, that I became acquainted with a collection of four piano pieces by Robert Schumann: the Humoreske in B flat, opus 20. The music is sublime. (I wonder if Aida Epstein is familiar with this music? Aida Epstein teaches piano at the Settlement School, in Philadelphia. Aida Epstein, incidentally, was Patrick Dugan's piano teacher. Patrick is… Continue

Recession, Depression -- What? Michelle Worry? The First Lady Requires More Than 20 Attendants

July 7, 2009

Dr. Paul L. Williams

“In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much,” she said. “See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service.“

-- Michelle Obama

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every… Continue
