What happens when one cant talk...

Im a talker. I love to talk. When I cannot talk, it makes me semi... uneasy. Or something. Not sure yet. I have laryngitis (self diagnosed- Who needs a doctor to tell them to not talk, drink warm stuff, and get a humidifier going?). I havent ever had laryngitis before. Its nuts.  …

5 Little Words

I got the idea about this from some comments, as I usually do. This might take a couple days to get right, but Ill do my best. Bear with me if it jumps and the point bounces a couple times, though I will try not to let that happen. First- No, I am not the perfect person that is a …

One More Plea

I have ONE MORE PLEA- for the many, that we can all "just get along". The Declaration of Independence is a piece of paper that was signed with the honest intention of stopping the rush to hate based on belief. We are given certain rights the moment we are born. To be able to live …

How do we achieve mutual compromise in a situation that is hopeless?

I often look at my family and just watch. See how they interact with one another, how they help each other, and how they DONT. My family is not perfect. Nope, and I refuse to let it become perfect. Its GREAT! My family is nothing short of AWESOME! I take great pride in the fact t …

The Religion Wars (and how tired they make me).

I was reading a couple of comments over the last few days that really kind of got my gears going. As we all know the basics of the bible, and the story of Adam and Eve, the disciples, and whatnot, I want everyone to be sure this is NOT about that. This is about somethin …

"No, I am not Jane Doe, I am her brothers sisters cousin!" And she cant pay you, either!

What do you do when the poop hits the roof, and you get so stressed that you want to pull your hair out? What do you do when you have to pay that extra $1000 to fix the car, and you still have two weeks till payday? What about that $500 deductible for that accident? Do you f …

What are we leaving our kids?

In all my time on the 'vine, there are things I have learned about people. One thing I have learned is that the overwhelming majority of people all want this world to be a better place, and for our kids to have something great to look forward to in their lives.

Some kids really are "hospital babies".

I just had a major epiphany. Some babies really are "hospital babies". My 1.5 year old is one, and it really doesnt make me feel good about it. I kind of wonder if she wasnt sent here as "test" to see if I would survive. This child makes "dare devil" look like a game of house.

Do NOT let teachers take advantage of you and your family!

I was just checking my Email, and I see one from my daughters teacher, which is usually a little "she aced this test". Well, this one was different. I still don't know what all I need to say yet. Kinda like "huh?" This is a copy:

Sex, and our Daughters. What Happened?

I just need to say a few things. This is seriously bugging me. Has been for awhile. The first issue I will address is "stripper dancing" that they teach young girls now. I see it on the disney channel, nick, and anything that has anything to do with youth.

My truly great article. Maybe. :)

I want to write a truly great article. Thats what I strive for. I think that stems from when I was a small kid, say, 6. I think that was when I very first started reading through the funnies as a kid.

Inner knowledge

As I grow older, I learn things. Thats not the exciting part. The exciting part is the things that I learn. The fact that so much of what I "knew" has changed is really the kicker. It amazes me.

My path to Enlightenment? Yup.

Everyone goes through a time of spiritual change. Sometimes it happens more than once. Sometimes we only go through a lul that causes something that reawaken that feeling or inner knowledge. In my case, I've never lost my faith.
