A reason to be thankful

Seems like everyone is so down in the dumps these days. Let's see how many things we can find for which to be thankful. You can list as many or as few as you want, and it can be anything that makes you thankful. Join me? A - Apples, air conditioners, aprons B - Bible, best friends (I have one of the very best), blue C - COFFEE, cats, calla lillies D - Doctors, Diet Coke, daffodils E - Electricity, eclairs, everything F - Faith, family, friends. G - God, ge ...

Last night my niece and her 13-year-old daughter were on their way to a family member's high school graduation. My niece was in the passing lane and noticed that drivers in the right lane were weaving as if to avoid something. In a flash without warning a deer hit my niece's car. The front end of the car was completely demolished. With the impact the windshield broke and the hood of the car popped up. My niece was at that point unable to see anyt ...

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. ...

I must say after doing some reports where people are not near as healthy as I am I am thankful for that. I can't help but be depressed though because Christmas this year is not much at my house. My husband lost his job in October and got another one in November (thankful for that) but it is only part time. He may go a week without any work or work everyday some weeks. But mostly he hasn't got to work much. We are doing all we can to keep our heads above water much less buy Christm ...

for part of the pipeline. Regardless of how he feels about continued use of oil for energy, he's gotta admit that it will at least put Americans to work....and God knows we need that. However, I still don't get why he talks about green energy and opposed this pipeline for the longest time before agreeing to it....when he funded off shore drilling in Brazil. I guess I don't get the double standard there. We give aid to Brazil for drilling and yet Obama seems ...

My Health Loving husband Job, income, insurance Decent vehicle Warm safe home Happy dog Family Friends Food As much as I hate MT at times, I am very thankful for having everything that I do have because I know I could always have less. I may not have everything I want but I am still Blessed :-) ...

I'm a single mom trying to make ends meet. I live paycheck to paycheck. Here lately I've had money issues because of car problems that needed to be fixed, necessary wiring and plumbing repairs in my house, etc. I do good to get my bills paid and put food on the table. A couple of weeks ago, my church brought me some groceries because of a comment my daughter made at children's church about us not having much money. Then I went to a Christmas party thi ...

The rest of the world does not despise America with quite the intensity it did under the prior party's administration. That's important to me, because this is the world my children will grow up in. There are a lot of reasons I'm better off than I was 4 years ago. That's one of them. ...

America is killing itself through its embrace and exaltation of ignorance, and the evidence is all around us. Dylann Roof, the Charleston shooter who used race as a basis for hate and mass murder, is just the latest horrific example. Many will correctly blame Roof's actions on America's culture of racism and gun violence, but it's time to realize that such phenomena are directly tied to the nation's culture of ignorance. In a country where a sitting congressman told a cro ...

The Virginia House of Delegates, their version of the House of Representatives, passed a bill on Wednesday that bans companies from tracking their employees with implanted microchips. On the surface, the bill sounds libertarian, albeit in a far-sighted Blade Runner sort of way. But it turns out that the bill’s sponsor was motivated by a more Old Testament perspective: stopping the rise of the Antichrist. "My understanding—I'm not a theologian—but there's a prophecy i ...

Production only pay – not steady income. Not paid hourly. Working holidays/weekends. Mandatory OT (not asked) and emailed if you do not work OT and not paid any extra for OT, just for lines produced. No incentives/bonuses (except produce more lines, which affects QA). No pay raises over top tier CPL ever! More accounts added to my mask after I asked not to have more work added because I knew I would not be able to meet QA. More responsibility with less pay. Pay decreased twice within 1 ...

Gun rights. This GA woman takes on 3 armed intruders and best of all one of the POS dies. Sayanara, you piece of crap. No telling what they'd have done to the woman if they'd found her in bed but we can guess. I gotta have myself a big glass of wine to celebrate this one. (And if the other 2 want to try my house, they'll get the same thing and more of it. I'll even furnish their caskets.) ...

The US is special because a decendant of a slave or a poor immigrant can make it into the White House. My own family, decendants of poor Italian immigrants, has its share of successes (although no one in the White House). Very interesting story about Michelle Obama's ancentry. ...

I've heard that he never even finished high school. That is disgraceful. ...

should be disqualified from being Secretary of State because of conflict of interest. Susan Rice has six-figure investment in controversial Canadian oil pipeline company. If she were confirmed as secretary of state, Rice would have final authority to green-light the large section of the pipeline project still languishing in regulatory purgatory.

I started doing that several years ago, my fingers twitch and I have twitches in my legs and eyelids, too. Told my doctor about it several years ago and asked him about MS, he said it sounded more like ALS (scared the crap out of me) but he wasn't concerned about it and I'm fine I just twitch a lot. ...

Ed Asner, liberal activist, says they don't want to appear anti-black. Do you believe the idiocy of these people. omg. And they say the Republicans are the ones who always bring race into any discussion. They are the epitome of bullstink. ...

President in recent history, she said. “We don't trust you. We don't believe you. We don't think you're capable of leading the country. Illegally entering the United States is not a right to citizenship. And don't tell us we're heartless because we believe in the rule of law, which is the foundation upon which our country was founded.” Link ...

Accountant did taxes today and I nearly broke my jaw when it hit the floor after I found out who much we are getting back from this rotten, stinkin, crooked government. Husband pays quarterly and federal taxes come out of my check. Between the 2 of us we paid $13,762 in taxes. We got back a whopping little over 2,000. This frickin government is keeping over $11,000 of our money and I don't want to give it to them. I don't believe in this system and I certainly do not believe in thi ...

http://www.fox6now.com/news/witi-20110302-madison-contracts,0,3750568.story The mayor and the democrats were hoping to stall so they could get new union contracts signed before the bill was passed. The plan backfired because the bill got published before the contracts could be signed and then the democrats were on the run. I hope the mayor joins those democrats in jail, as it just seems the WI senate passed a bill holding those democrats in contempt. ...

some time ago this subject was brought up to ask if anyone would cease contact with a child (adult or not). Would you and if so, under what circumstance? Incarcerated for a particular crime, for being the black sheep of the family...under what circumstance? ...

Romney: Abortion legislation not 'part of my agenda' By Elise Viebeck - 10/10/12 08:10 AM ET Mitt Romney is in hot water after appearing to flip-flop on abortion in an interview. Speaking with the Des Moines Register on Tuesday, Romney said "there is no legislation with regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda." The remark contradicts Romney's past commitment to ensuring U.S. ...

A Hospital War Reflects a Bind for Doctors in the U.S. By JULIE CRESWELL and REED ABELSON For decades, doctors in picturesque Boise, Idaho, were part of a tight-knit community, freely referring patients to the specialists or hospitals of their choice and exchanging information about the latest medical treatments. But that began to change a few years ago, when the city’s largest hospital, St. Luke’s Health System, began rapidly buying physician practices all over t ...
