27 Things to keep in mind if you're having a bad day

My 18-year-old son lives about an hour and a half away. His girlfriend (who is 17 and in 11th grade) lives about 20-25 minutes from here but on the way to where he lives, so he is only about an hour away from her. He works until 8 or 9 p.m. most nights but he still makes the drive to see her (and sometimes us) pretty often. So he calls me this morning to tell me he went to her house last night to exchange Christmas gifts because he's not sure if he gets another day off be ...

Okay, I don't think this will be too long, but I don't know. I live with my 15-year old son (who has Asperger's Syndrome, but we won't go into that) and my 22-year old daughter, who has 2 children, ages 3 and 10 weeks! My daughter has no car. She just got a job working as a waitress at a restaurant here in town, but as we all know, the money made in that profession really comes from tips, and she is a newbie, and from what she is telling me, they aren't givi ...

"Yes, they were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy,” Matt Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said during a Senate hearing Wednesday. Now just hang on a second...Obama, Hillary, et. al continued to tell us it was a "spontaneous" act in response to a video that no one saw. Which is it - terrorism or a few angry punks (who just happened to have RPGs and tortured our Ambassador before killing him)? Tell the truth, Mr. President. ...

Dr. Keith Ablow: What's REALLY going on in Trump's mind? (Hint: it's not what you think.) Love it!! ...

Dictated: Psych services. ASR: Sex services. Dictated: No gas pains. ASR: No masturbating. And, the always popular substitution for allergy to peanuts -- you can figure that one out! ...

He is expected to pull out of it. This is one time I hope he changes his mind. Even if you don't believe humans are responsible for global warming, why would you pull out of a deal where the world works together to help the planet? Good Lord, even Tillerson is for the agreement. ...

Wow - closeups of the old bag show that her eyeballs have gone off the rails. She can't focus both of them together. So, what the hell is REALLY wrong with this woman? Why do her emails show that she was researching drugs used to treat Alzheimer's and Parkinson's? Thank you, Wikileaks - and apparently more to come. Hillary the filthy skank will be sank. And by the way, Trump rises in black and Hispanic support while Clinton sucks wind. ...

Media Matters has obtained leaked emails that show how a top Washington editor at Fox News directed his journalists not to use the phrase "public option." Instead, Bill Sammon, Fox News' Washington managing editor, told staffers to use the phrase "government option." This happens to be the exact phrase that Republican pollster Frank Luntz had advised Republicans to begin using to describe the public option -- on Sean Hannity's show, no less. Speaking to Hannity in August 2009, Luntz ...

There is a neighborhood kid across the street that is in middle school and he and his friend are 'starting a business.' I am all for kids having initative and working but they put out a flyer that they are starting a business and will walk your dog for 50 cents a minute. Are you kidding me?? That is $30/hr!!!!! I do not know many adults who make $30/hour. I told my husband that I must be in the wrong business. I know his mother and I am surprised tha ...

My grandson(s) are in a contest for a photography package. Would you mind going here: http://gailannephotography.com/blog/2012/10/2012-fall-cute-kids-contest-entries-ready-set-vote/ Scroll all the way down and choose Gabe (8 years) or Chase (4 years) (or both) -- Chase's name is all the way down at the bottom of the list. My daughter desperately wants to get a family portrait done and to be able to use the pictures as holiday gifts. Thanks in advance!! ...

after discussion with his new SIL (link) ...

I was talking with my friend about good, bad, evil, etc and he was telling me how negativity holds things back and that the evil spirits feed off of negativity and how the Creator is good and that the way to fight evil is to be more positive, love, etc. (not exactly those words and it is late and I'm going by memory). Anyway...that got me to thinking about my prayers and how a lot of times when I pray I am worried, a lot of times crying praying for a job for my husband, help with our ...

of the posts below that have little to nothing to do with real political discussion to remain yet remove Mary's thoughtful and very relevant post and send it to the Gab board. What's up with that? Maybe you should give the republicans their own board so the MTs here can have a sane discussion. ...

Now that he is speaking for himself rather than the party, he is so much more relaxed, pleasant, and interesting. I still disagree with him often, but he is so much more likable than he used to be, in my opinion. ...

Yep, revolution/civil war coming. Even some of the stars are feeling it. ...

Sometimes there's curse words or blasphemy in the sidebar headlines, so if you're Amish or something, don't go there.

I have made plans for months, literally months about what I plan on doing this summer. I am taking my friend and her 3 children for a trip to Florida to start off. The woman and 2 kids have never been and they are in for a real surprise! The scenery so different from where we live 1 state over it's like being in a different world. I have everything paid for, everything except food and gas. I pay in advance in installment plans on big items and then smaller places to visit I pay at one time. ...

I cannot believe the depths of Trump's depravity. He would not recognize christian activity if it slapped him upside the head. ...

DOW poised to crack 17,000 (historical high) US adds 288,000 jobs in June, unemployment rate falls to 6.1% Looked at my 401-K. I might be able to retire 2 years sooner than I thought! ...

The dedicated Trumpettes are rationalizing Trump's tax evasion by saying Clinton used the same loophole to avoid paying tax. In fact, I have used the same loophole when I was an independent contractor. Now here is why it is not the same. Trumps tax loss claimed is over 1 THOUSAND 3 HUNDRED TIMES (1300 times) Clinton's tax loss. In other words, Clinton claimed 0.07% of Trumps loss. Trump paid NO taxes and probably did not for 18 years. In contrast the Clinton's pai ...

I signed on for my normal shift at Midnight and got immediately hit with an unknown hospital, uknown dictator from outside my CCM's 'book of work.' I couldn't understand the dictator who was a ESL, thick accent interspersed with serial "mumbles with thick accent." Looked for an old report, put in all the correct information, even tried adjusting it several times -- came up with no old reports. At this point, mental incapacitation seemed to set in; I s ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New claims for jobless benefits last week dropped to their lowest level in more than two years while consumer spending rose in October, pointing to a moderate strengthening in economic activity. ...

A poster below said, "Typical talkback. Let's talk about how things are improving." I thought I would take the liberty in moving it to a new post. For me personally, I can't see the improvment. I'm paying more for everything and it's getting harder and harder to make ends meet. When I see the news about the GSA and the blatent arrogance, it just infuriates me. Can anyone site the improvement? ...

....since the Supreme Court gave corporations the same voice as individuals in supporting political candidates? I sense that that's made things worse during this campaign. I think these PACs and Super PACs are creating so much havoc, on both sides, and they're making politics even more confusing and muddled. It's awful when a PAC comes out with advertising that favors one candidate or the other, and people assume that the campaign itself put out the ad, bu ...

1. The entire DNC is being subsidized with a $10 million line of credit from Duke Energy. 2. The CEO of Duke Energy is one of Obama's biggest contributors - $tens of thousands. 3. Duke Energy has received over $200 million in stimulus money for "green jobs". So, while Elizabeth Warren was standing up on the podium whining about a "rigged economy", she was speaking over a microphone that was paid for with "rigging" of the first order. Good job, Dems! You're R ...

I saw 3 different things this morning that I am puzzled. First, people having baby ultrasounds in their homes inviting all the family for an ultrasound party to let them be the first (along with the couple) to view the baby. People doing the ultrasounds do tell the gender of the baby and that again is not 100% sure each time, even for people who routinely do ultrasound in medical settings. The people doing not medical, say no diagnosis of any kind made but as we all know not every pregnancy is a ...

I started to collect angels and now it is out of hand. Can't bare to part with them as some are gifts but I feel like a hoarder at this point - but just angels. Anybody else collect anything? ...
