It's My Blog and I'll Soapbox If I Want To!

I have no problem whatsoever in sharing my convictions and beliefs... religious, social, political and otherwise. I always try to be aware of other viewpoints, but I will not cower or back down from my own in order to "be sensitive" or "be tolerant" of an opposing viewpoint. I can, and will, respect another's right to voice their own viewpoints, as I expect others to do the same for me.

One topic I am RABID about.... Illegal Immigration. No, not immigration... ILLEGAL immigration. There is a difference, you know.

The issue... NO, PROBLEM.... has now gone beyond just the over taxing of our social systems, schools, job losses to LEGAL Americans, etc. This is now a battle for EVERY American's life.

You think I'm being over dramatic? I'm not. Consider this... our broken immigration system is an open door policy for terrorists entering this country.

Please view these videos - part one - and part two. This is reliable reporting from our local news station.

No matter  your stance or political affiliation, you should be concerned about America doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to prevent another 9-11, or worse.

Book of Faces Being Replaced's?

There have been so many "soundbites" and protests lately, about various policies and functions of Facebook being changed or revoked. I've been a little scattered in my understanding of it all, and trying to weed through the hype in order to find the facts.

Here's a site I've been following that makes it all a little more understandable for me.

I'm pretty sure I can survive any changes FB doles out.... heck, I could probably live without them all together.... EEEEKKK!!!!! Did I just say that out loud?

Boredom, Defined

OK... if you've been on my Facebook page today, you probably have a great idea of how terribly bored I am.
I can think of a thousand things I want to do, need to do, but simply cannot do because of this bloody cast on my leg.


I am about to crawl out of my skin!!!!


I am a "go and do" person, more so than I am a "sit and be" person. Of course, there are tons of things I can be doing while sitting around... reading, researching, blogging (uh, duh, I am).... but, I have been engaged in activities of that nature since Saturday, when I broke the freakin' ankle! I'm ready for some "go and do" stuff now!


Guess it's time to crawl up the steps with my garbage bag, shuck it around my leg and grab a shower... woo-hoo!!! Highlight of my day.


Welcome to my pity party... grab a cup of pout and join me, won't you?

Self Defense for Women

I don't know about you, but everyday the world becomes a scarier place.

If you haven't thought about taking a self defense course, you might want to re-think that now.... especially if you're a woman.

There are so many resources in your local area that provide this type of education and skill training.

Here's a quick demonstration from one such training professional.

Don't get caught off-guard.... protect yourself today.

REALLY???!!!!

Forgive me readers, for I have sinned. It's been several weeks since my last confession... uh, er.... blog post, I mean.

Being partially employed since my UNJUST AND UNCALLED FOR LAYOFF IN FEBRUARY (I'm not bitter), has left me with too much time on my hands to do stuff like ride my horse, eat lunch at school with my son, play more with him, hang out more with my daughter on the weekends that she's home from school and overall just take a break from travelling across my own social media landscape. I mean, if you're going to be mediocre, why bother, right?

Speaking of mediocre.... I'm no Harper Lee or J.D. Salinger, but I'm no hack writer either. It amazes me what I find on blogs and other sites that are SUPPOSEDLY written by professional writers, or at the very least, NOT written by a third grader.

Here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about... go ahead... take a look... make sure to peruse many of the pages and posts on this blog. And someone is PAYING for this???

This writer should be doing 90 Hail Mary's for this!!!
