Things that make you go hmm

So I was watching the new this evening and they were interviewing a woman in New Jersey who was stocking up for the storm. She was buying gasoline for her generator. (Okay, got that, great idea.) She was also buying bags of ice. Why ice? What am I missing? ...

Sometimes the silliest, trivial little things make me smile. This morning, it's knowing that my daughter (just turned 21 on Saturday) is safe and secure at the camp at which she is working through the fall, enjoying her first job and finding her way in the world. It's also looking over at my handsome hubby, sound asleep on the couch, remote in hand, looking completely at peace with our 2 little dogs next to him, one by his feet and the other by his side. For some reason, ...

Okay, first my name is not Sue, but thought it had a nice ring. LOL What are the simple thinkgs in life that make you happy. I was thinking of this the other day actually when I was brushing my teeth and I was so happy cos I found a great toothbrush (I hope it never wears out LOL). Here's what makes me happy: 1. A really nice toothbrush that feels so good to brush - Mine is from the dental hygeinist brand is GUM. It is so so soft. 2 A really nice moisturizer that ...

I'm 60 years old and this is the first time in my life I have had to deal with such long standing poverty period due to our pay being cut so drastically and losing jobs to no work available. I thought it might be nice to share tips on survival. It also might set my mind at east to hear that others are doing the same unusual things I'm doing to save money, such as: Warming my hands over a candle while keyboarding because I don't want to turn the heat up. Usin ...

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 ...

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? ...

We need to listen. ...

In Chappaqua NY, the snow lay deep around the Clinton mansion, but that didn't stop Bill from taking a stroll around the grounds. Suddenly, he stopped dead in his tracks. The Secret Service agent who was with him asked, "What is it, Mr. President?" Clinton's face was growing beet-red as he pointed a shaking finger at the ground. There, written in the snow in an unmistakable shade of yellow, were the words "Bill Clinton is a dirty pedophile." Clinton demanded that the per ...

As it happens, in recent weeks I was the target of a trolling campaign and saw exactly how it works. It started when an obscure website published a post titled “CNN host Fareed Zakaria calls for jihad rape of white women.” The story claimed that in my “private blog” I had urged the use of American women as “sex slaves” to depopulate the white race. The post further claimed that on my Twitter account, I had written the following line: “Every death of a white person brings tears of j ...

for our economy and jobs! If things continue at the present rate all jobs lost during the recession will be regained by the end of the year. I am so happy that Obama is also concentrating on training and jobs for our vets. ...

I keep thinking there is hope. After filing for unemployment, I thought I would get my DD pay today (yes I did the waiting week). Now I find out it could be TEN DAYS before I get my pay. I cannot make my children wait 10 days to eat. I have been to the food pantry here and have no way to get other food. I know I will be kicked out of my house very soon. Anyway, I really desperately need prayers. I guess I do not know why I keep asking for prayers because ...

Sad to say that I end up cooking the same five or six things every week. I think my taste buds have atrophied. Anyone have any ideas for something really good (also fairly fast and easy to make)? My husband doesn't like things that are too spicy (100% Norwegian--family story was that his mother still had the same spices she got for her wedding 50 years on the spice rack ) but I'm looking for a change. ...

I notice for myself it is anything a computer does faster, like, back when we had to put a cd into a player, so long, or open a bag to get to the next issue, thinking just now, it does not take THAT much time to do these things, imagine, RECORDS!!! double sided, oh the pain!!!!!An internet page takes five seconds to load, why is it so slow. oOYeah, maybe a bit, going to have to work on that a little. ...

I just don't worry. How about you? I have such strong faith that God will provide. I haven't seen any promise He's made broken. This goes with following Jesus in a personal obedient life, which has been such a peaceful, wonderful life. What freedom there is! I don't have to worry anymore. I used to be a major worry wart, stressing out all the time when things got tough, so this is a nice change. I've seen Him work in His mysterious ways when things were fina ...

Some of you may remember my posting last fall about my daughter who went away to college only to break her arm and wind up with three roommates who did nothing but party. All she wanted was to go to college and study anthropology. Her quad-mates all turned out to be drunks, as well as the guys in the room across the hall. Within three weeks of starting school she had broken her arm. She was quite literally totally alone, but tried to stick it out rather than change ...

I've been thinking about how Americans of good will come together and forget all their arguments, at important times and over certain topics. We don't tolerate child abuse, for example. Most of us get nauseated when we hear skin head rhetoric, LOL, and we want clean water. There are probably lots more, but I just happen to be thinking about those today. It's a good feeling when we (most of us) come together for good things. ...
