I went to see Hacksaw Ridge last night
Posted: Nov 13, 2016
What a great movie! Sure, it's a war movie, with lots of scenes where one may have to turn away and squinch one's eyes tightly closed. But, how refreshing to see a young soldier live up to his strong convictions against carrying a gun while being a courageous medic, saving countless lives. And it's all true. In the past, I watched a documentary about Desmond Doss. It stated that Japanese men had come forward, all telling the same story, how they had pointed their guns at Desmond and aimed, but every time they pulled the trigger, their guns misfired. I believe the angels were there protecting him. Just want to add that I too am an MT and I know going to a movie is a big deal these days what with the budget and all, but I picked this movie to splurge on and it was well worth it.

I remember hearing about him. I live in Roanoke VA, not far from - Lunchburg where the main

I heard it's the best war film since Saving Private - Ryan. We are going this week.

Date NightDec 11, 2011
About to head out with DH for a nice Italian dinner. Just wondering how many MTs try to fit in a date night with the DH/SO/partner every month or so. We definitely try to, although sometimes turns into two, three or even more months. It's certainly something I look forward to! It gets us out of the house, a nice glass of wine and dinner, just the two of us. :) ...
Got My Survivor Fix Last NightFeb 17, 2011
I have never missed a season of Survivor. I am looking forward to this season with the new spin of redemption island. There is a girl (Ashley) from Maine this year participating, which makes it more exciting for me. A few seasons back a professor from Maine won sole Survivor. I look foward to Russ and Boston Rob clashing and hope they do not join forces at any time. If the first tribal counsil is any example of how the show is headed it will be an interesting s ...

Last Night's SOTUJan 29, 2014
Well, I thought the President basically lacked passion last night. Nothing he said was with conviction like we've seen in the past. I did not find him believable. The only positive thing I really heard was that he seemed to acknowledge that the economy had not improved during his 5 years in office and he wanted the CEOs of the country to pay their people more money (obviously, I'm paraphrasing here). Hopefully, the CEOs of the MTSOs will take heed and listen to the Commander in Ch ...

Hubby On Night ShiftApr 22, 2010
My hubby just recently switched back to 12-hour night shifts. Lately I have been putting a sticky note on the doorbell during the day that says, "Please do not ring doorbell until after 2 p.m." The other day I was told that this was rude by a neighbor. Can you believe that? If they need to get ahold of me bad enough, they can call my cell. I feel like I have to constantly protect hubby's sleep time and our family time now, not to mention be left alone to do my job. ...

Tuesday Night At The FightsOct 17, 2012
I have to say I do not like debates. It seems to me that the broad audience of the American public has developed this "blood lust" akin to a boxing or wresting match or some Superbowl event. How can someone say that this person won on style, and this one on memorization of facts and figures and then vote for them? How does that relate to them being president, or one heart beat away? The only real message I can take away from these debates is how does my picture of this candidat ...

So I Watched The Amazing DNC Last NightJul 28, 2016
What a speech! Also Joe Biden, also Tim Kaine (America's new step-dad). I am so glad we had the 8 years of his amazing term. Here's hoping he does even more amazing things in a hopefully long life to come. Once he's out of the White House he may be the worst threat to the right wing yet, since he won't be compelled to play nice with the idiot congressmen who have been destroying our country for 8 years. Personally, I think he is a beautiful man, I think he is a truly inspir ...
So I Painfully Watched The DNC Last NightJul 28, 2016
So many lies and half truths coming out of the mouths of grown men and women. Saw the fact checking on the news this morning. They should be ashamed. But there is no shame with democrats. It's their culture now - lie and lie some more. Eventually some people will start to believe it. And for Obama, well, he has some of the most evil looking expressions I have ever seen before. Frankly, looked almost to be possessed by Satan himself and then he would smile that slimy reptilian smile of his. ...
My Dog Killed My Kitten Last NightSep 11, 2013
the kitten was really a stray that came from my mom's and was living in my garage, but I had been feeding it and it was starting to be a little bit friendly, and it was really cute. Every time my dog saw it he would chase after it and bark but I never thought he'd really hurt the kitten. Last night he grabbed it and shook it and broke it's neck. I picked the poor thing up and held it while it died and told it I was so sorry. I'm so mad at my dog and I ...

What a surprise. They had been promised a H ...
