Why listen to me? I'm just your mother.....

I sat and watched him all night, eating like a puppy who has just discovered a new food. I can't count how many times I gave him "the look". He kept on putting the food in his mouth. When the food is good, sometimes it is hard to stop. Ice cream, cookies, cake , pie He reminded me of the kid from that Charlie and the chocolate factory, you know the one who got stuck in the Chocolate River tube because he was so fat? yeah. that kid was MY kid on Christmas. He rolled around on the floor like a drunken midget and finally found his way to bed (he camped with me because i knew what was coming but decided that i didn't want a repeat of the Jimi Hendrix episode) So he blew chunks around 1am. all i have to say is yuck, yuck, yuck and double yuck.*sigh* His uncle and i did some direction to help him clean up. i had to stay clear of the bathroom for at least 15 minutes because of the smell. *sigh* I have found that you can only nag so much then you just have to wait and see and hope that they learn. Let's just pray he did... Goddess

the military drawdown. will we sit and wallow or be called to action ourselves?

there are many provisions made for members of the guard. in the instance of this particular serviceman, he did not have a job that valued him enough to allow him extended leave. that should be a given for anyone who hires a protector of our country. they should allow them to come back to the job they held while protecting our nation. I do not blame the Obama administration for this specifically. this is the case always when we have military drawdowns. if we look at the situation with the funding cuts to our nations education system, the same turmoil has been created... dilapidated buildings low funding for key programs low test scores. what is worse for our schools is that we cannot start a war or join a conflict to raise the bar on the bottom of the heap educations our children receive in public schools; hence, charter, private and home schooled children are becoming the norm. war is easier to assemble for than to disassemble from. everything looked fine when the nation was at war. we have so much more to focus on within our own borders. we wanted them home... they are coming home... WE AS A PEOPLE have to make sure they are taken care of and honored for their service. unfortunately, GI (government issue) means that the government owns you and can toss you about as it pleases. it is a form of servitude, still voluntary, with the perks looking no less for wear as when young men were drafted for Vietnam in the mid '60s where does the way out of this begin? perhaps the way out begins in the minds and hearts of our nation’s people, young and old. we have a duty to support not only our military personnel, but also the future of our children, and the elders who have raised us. there is so much for us to do. so much more...

I so needed a laugh today. then...

Check out this video: Really Hot French Game Show Contestant






Then i got to thinking. i read some of the comments made on this video and people were mentioning that if she didn't want to show them, she should cover them up. what they failed to see was that she was adjusting her top because she felt she had to.
granted, she has breasts. granted, the host is a male.

that right there explains the entire clip.

do not damn a woman who wants to look sexy and beautiful. yes, they are two completely separate definitions of how a woman can look. i think for the most part, she did her best. the host did the best he could as well. is there any way we can have American television in this manner. i laughed. i laughed. i laughed.

what do they say is the best medicine?

roger that!
