Before I heard about this story, my hubby and I had a discussion about the environment and what other people are doing or were doing all in the name of making the earth better for everyone to live in. This discussion came about because of a 'green' program we were watching. I reminded him of the simple things we were doing and we discussed the benefits and the whys or why nots for going green. The one thing I said I would never do is give up toilet paper! I would never ever do that!...

I dug deep to find (last year's posting, which I believe was also from the year before) that prose we did about our moms. Would you like to do that again - create another joint writing? Feel free to drop a line or two about your moms, any special memory, experiences, thoughts.... I'll put it together when you're done!

A Re-post - my favorite Dedicated to all the Moms of JU and especially to our own Moms! [and to those who have passed on] *************************************************************************************** There's nothing like a mother's love There's Nothing Like a Mother's Love that keeps you safe and warm She gives her love selflessly Her words, sometimes a chide yet often tender She is the woman who gave me life and put her life aside for years ...

I dreamt she was an angel An arch angel Like a warrior princess Standing guard, doing battle on our behalf She was wielding her sword like a true warrior As she was in life There she stood, tall, fierce But oh so beautiful Her face so angelic, so young Her wings so large, it seemed too big For her small frame And yet it was such a part of her It made her look intimidating But I was not afraid And she talked to me In a language I didn’t know ...

I've been getting a few Emails telling me about a boycott that is planned for May 15, 2007. The plan is that no one and I mean NO ONE is supposed to buy gasoline that day. Due to the rise in the price of gasoline, we the people are being taken advantage of and prices are unnecessarily high when they shouldn't be. I must say when I received the first Email, I glanced at it and didn't really pay attention to it because I thought it was a hoax or something. Then I received it a second tim...

It's been a good week and an almost bad week, but the good is winning over the bad part! First off I hurt my back/hip at the gym. I was a bit too overzealous with the rowing machine and didn't feel it until later that night when I couldn't move! I was in the most excruciating pain! I've had pain before, migraine headaches, toothache, cramps from my period, labor pain and giving birth pain. Let me tell you, none of them compares to the pain I felt in my hip/back area and my fear that I ...

There are times when I get out of my own little world (the noisy world that is inside my head at times) to realise that there are people around me who are having an even harder time than most people. Sometimes I observe the families who shop and see how painful it is that they can only afford to buy certain items and sometimes, not at all. There are people out there who can't seem to get out of the quandary they are in, no matter what. They have become so used to being in the situations ...

I was watching Nightline tonight and heard about this insane, idiocy, for-the-love-of-god ridiculous lawsuit because of a pants that was misplaced by a dry cleaning store. The person who is doing the lawsuit, a lawyer...er..an administrative judge! The people who owns the dry cleaning establishment, an older couple who have had the business for many years and have never had something like this happen to them. They have tried to settle the case. They found the pants and even offered the ...

Everyone should have moments like these.... When the kiss from a loved one, or a lover makes you giggle. You're filled with so much happiness you want to burst! You can throw down with the best of them, and scream at each other, but in the end, just a look or a smile, melts your heart. When you can lay in silence beside each other, where it's not necessary to speak. When you think alike and say the same thing, without speaking out aloud! When you can't imagine life withou...

I was curious as to how many of you who are parents of older children, handled them when they turned 18, as well I am curious about many of you when you turned 18, how did your parents handle you and how did you behave? I'm asking because in my blog entitled Privacy Policy , regarding the privacy policies of most universities and colleges here in the US, I wondered at why they wouldn't notify parents if their child was seriously ill or had some other problems that I as a parent would want...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MOTHER EARTH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I'm feeling tired and blah and I have not the inclination to go all out with posting pictures etc. Forgive me JU. When I feel better I'll do a birthday blog. At any rate, I plan to do nothing much today! And hopefully when I crawl back into bed, I'll sleep til 10, hopefully! Maybe later when I get back on I can do Mother Earth's celebration some justice with pictures and stuff, and even for myself!lol! It's almost...
