My Own Thoughts

I’ve been on the committee for six months now. Good news. The guy I liked, that half the group didn’t, he got a job offer and turned it down. So maybe it wasn’t a bad thing we turned him down. We have four good solid candidates right now. I am not sure how we are [...]

And it’s in California, so it may actually succeed in taking Christmas away. See Stop the ACLU (who filed the suit).

A. global warming B. higher carbon dioxide levels The answer is A. Folks, I won’t say who, have mostly been saying it’s global warming. But it turns out that more carbon dioxide in the air keeps the trees green longer according to Live Science. Don’t trees use carbon dioxide and make oxygen? Maybe we’ve been [...]

Love at first sight is easy to understand; it’s when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle. –Amy Bloom taken from Happy Catholic’s quote journal.

Ho ho ho has been disallowed in Adelaide, Australia. Christmas trees are now family trees? The original print catalog for Lowe’s calls them family trees. But Lowe’s has taken it back. If you search their site, everything is “Holiday living something-something Christmsas.” So Christmas is still in there. It might have really been an accident, [...]

I’m guessing it is one of the universities in the film. Maloney found violent protests at UC Santa Cruz and San Francisco State, persecution of student members of a conservative club at Cal Poly and the University of Tennessee, divisive racial and ethnic politics at the University of Michigan and Yale, doctrinaire teaching at Duke [...]

Sears – Christmas shopping has already started I know I needed this reminder since Sears isn’t always my first choice. Amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and they haven’t withdrawn from their commitment. Could we each buy at least one thing at Sears this year? How does Sears treat its [...]

Support Tom Tancredo’s call to scrap the crescent memorial The Park Service has a history of keeping the Secretary of the Interior in the dark about the decisions it makes in his name. It is likely that Secretary Dirk Kempthorne has never been told about the many warnings of Islamic symbolism in the planned Flight [...]

was about the Marine poet who became famous on YouTube. I’ve even seen him! And, it turns out, he plans to re-enlist in February. (I learned it via RedState.) I can only echo RedState’s “I can only say — Wow. And thank you.”

There were 232, but I picked the ones I understood, and liked the best. 1. Cpl. Jason Dunham. First Marine to receive the Medal of Honor since Vietnam. If jumping on a grenade to save a buddy isn’t worth the top of the list, nothing is. 29. Recruiting in Texas is like hunting at the [...]

R was talking to Jason at work who is a bike enthusiast. R told him that I’ve been riding, that I got a new bike, and that I’m going to be doing a 32 mile ride this weekend. Jason asked him how fast I rode. He told him I average 10 mph. Jason said that [...]

Here’s a pdf of activities to do with Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

I can’t figure out how to post the image, but just go to Google today and see it. Or look at it on Blackfive’s website.

Live Science has the Top 10 Natural Disasters in the US, ranked according to death tolls. I have lived through three of them. I remember number 6. I was living in West Texas. It was very hot. People were giving away fans and a/c units. The public service announcements told people not to mow their [...]

Heroes from both sides of the pond… British and American soldiers.

“And the digger (Australian soldier) fights for freedom in a war that must be won…” I asked for this song for Christmas. It came only on a CD. My husband paid $35 for it because it was an import. It was worth it.

It’s a sad and beautiful tribute to our soldiers, especially our fallen heroes.
