Joan Rivers IS A Mama Bird

Oh My Goodness....

I rolled off the couch and bumped heads as he rolled off the couch laughing...

HAHAHAHAHA

Ok Ok I will stop now.

In the News

As stated in my last post, I have been trying to catch up with the news. There is a whole lot going on. I am the first to admit that I hear what I want to hear, I do not spend hours researching stories and I do not know the full story on any of the news stories below.

Lets dig in...

Obama Health Care Plan-
This is before the Supreme Court this week and I am anxious as to what they rule. I do not agree with the US Government requiring me to purchase a certain types of health care and I sure as hell don't believe that I should have to shell out of my pocket more money to pay for someone else's health care.

I am not completely up to date on this topic. But I know the Obama Health Care plan leans towards a Communist country, not the Representative Democracy that we are.

US Sgt Bales-
You are a hero! No doubt about it. You served the US well, gave everything and more to fight for my freedom- THANK YOU.

I think the US military has failed our soldiers and needs to improve two things... we need to find money to pay our soldiers that are fighting for our country so that their family back home isn't suffering and losing their homes because there isn't enough money. I also think that the military needs to give back to the solider BEFORE they come home from war. The mildest symptom of depression, anger, PTSD is the responsibility of the soldier AND the military to recognize and work to treat.

I do not agree with the killings, but I do believe that you are a Hero Sgt Bales.

Trayvon Martin-
This whole story is wrong. I am still trying to figure out the facts not the emotional reporting that may or may not true.
I am looking for answers to these questions...
  1. Did the Neighborhood Watch contract for their volunteers state that no guns be carried when "on duty" even if the volunteer had a CHL?
  2. Did Zimmerman have a CHL?
  3. Martin's girlfriend was on the phone when all was happening, why is she still not cooperating with police with a statement in the investigation?
  4. If we cant use Trayvon Martin's past as a way of telling the story of who he was. Then how can we allow Zimmerman's past tell the story of who he is? I would assume both men have had histories with the police and others (reasonable deduction from reports) but is that ALL those two men were about? Their past? 
  5. Lets remove the fired up emotions and really look at the facts in the case and charge Zimmerman in accordance of the law as written in his jurisdiction. 
JetBlue Captain Flips on plane
Yesterday a JetBlue Captain that has been with the company for many years tipped his breaking point. Not sure what it was, but panic attack doesn't do justice on explaining the problem. The Captain began screaming, kicking, fighting other passengers. "We are all going to die" is not something you want to hear come from a pilot's mouth.
Earlier in the month an American Airlines Flight Attendant had a melt down on the plane also.
Again I don't know the whole stories, but these are the questions that come to mind...
  1. Corporate Airline Companies and the Unions that "represent" the crew- why aren't you looking out for the mental health of our flying community before they melt down?
Not in the news recently, where the heck is Casey Anthony hiding out? Shouldnt be about time for her to resurface and create a news stir?

Momma Bird Or What?

I haven't blogged in a while. My new job has be running a bit crazy, all good but running. Working from my home has also got me a bit confused on what day it is.

I also haven't blogged about things going on in the news in a while. Brace yourself, I have some thoughts and strong opinions about some stories right now, more to follow.

But tonight I am appalled! I am not a mother, wont ever be a mother.  I am not a Momma Bird nor will I ever be a Momma Bird.

What makes this actress think SHE is a Momma Bird?



I just DO NOT understand this. The first time I saw the clip, I thought "What weird mother is making out with their toddler?" GROSS!

I am so good with the natural clean food that Alicia Silverstone eats and provides for her family. We probably should all eat cleaner... but not like this!

Isn't this what a Momma Bird feeding her baby is supposed to look like?

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

The Very Hungry Caterpillar was one of my very favorite books when a kid and I still have that book on the book shelf.

Our canna lillies are starting to grow in and about to take over the front flower bed again. But I think The Very Hungry Caterpillar has visited our beds this season..



 This made me smile and pull out my book and re-read it... LOVE IT
