Can Trump Save This Economy?

Don’t know if he can, but I do know she could not, would not, and will not.

I purchased a handful of paperback “Bookshots” by James Patterson and various co-authors while I was at Wal-Mart the other day. “The Trial” was very good. “Cross Kill” (with no co-author) was excellent! I accidently picked up two copies of “Little Black Dress,” and it was like reading porn. No way I would pass that…

The Republican Convention – Not Your Typical Convention

Citizens are calling the Republican Convention a “movement.” What we saw was not a typical party convention. Maybe “movement” is a good word – one that gets us out of the mess Obama put us in. If Hillary wins, it’s Obama’s 3rd term. God help us! What this country needed was to get away from…

Does Anyone Ever Listen???

It is absolutely amazing how people don’t really listen to what people are saying. I went through a Burger King the other night, asked for a hot dog with just a little mustard. When I got to the window to pick it up, it was smothered with what looked like a half a jar of…

Our First Lady at It Again

My television was tuned to some teen-oriented show while my granddaughter visited. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. There is Michelle Obama (I hesitate to call her our First Lady – she shames the position), pumping her fists and yelling, yes yelling, “Black Girls Rock!” As “First Lady” she needed to be saying “Girls…

Laughter is Still the Best Medicine

Make laughter an important part of your life. Laughter lightens the mood. It is contagious. It is the best medicine we could get. It lifts up the people around us. It fights depression. It works even if you don’t want it to. It feels good. Go and make someone smile. Better yet, get them laughing….

Disruptive Teaching Practices by High School Teachers

High school teachers, at least in our county, leave a lot to be desired. Here are a few examples: • Refusing to let students take a bathroom break – ever heard of such a thing??? • Refusing to give “help” time to students who aren’t grasping the material • Failure to teach the entire high…

Don’t Graduate Students Until They Have Learned the Curriculum

My granddaughter had to take 2 classes in college to bring her up to the college level. This was material she should have learned in high school. She had to pay for the two courses. I say, our county should have had to pay for those two courses, because the high school is not delivering…

McDonald’s Price Gouging

On a recent trip to our local McDonald’s, my granddaughter and I couldn’t believe the rate increases from about the same time a year ago. Here’s what we found: Item Price A Year Ago Price Now Difference Hash Brown $1.00 $1.19 + $.19 Large Dr. Pepper $1.00 $1.69 + $.69 Large Diet Coke $1.00 $1.69…

Our Condolences Go Out to Mary Rygiel

Our sincere heartfelt condolences go out to our Master Instructor, Mary Rygiel, and her family who lost her 98-year old father recently.

Next Door Neighbor’s Dad in Plane Crash

I called my next door neighbor, Debbie yesterday to see if she wanted to go somewhere with me. Boy, was I surprised when she said, “My Dad was involved in a plane crash yesterday.” Oh, my Lord, I thought. He must have died. Not only did he survive the crash in his little Cessna, he…

Solved the Conundrum of Who to Vote For

Every Presidential election has left me feeling that I am choosing the lesser of two evils, except for when Mitt Romney and George W. Bush ran. As I look at the array of Republican candidates, I cringe. When I look at the Democratic candidates, I cringe even harder. I have decided to write-in my vote…
