Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment.

What kind of country takes a child away from their mother, and it results in the child’s death? Kidnapping and murdering disabled children seems to be where we’re headed. Even after Marie Freyre died alone in a nursing home 250 miles from the family in North Tampa that loved her,...
I lived a short while in Sabadell, and even though many people who are from there, don’t like it, I always did. I went to school there in this center area. I enjoyed it. How adorable to see it again, even if it’s only You Tube. I didn’t see anyone...
We now live in a nation where big gulps are banned, and the move to legalize marijuana is gaining strength. The belief is that the drug is relatively harmless. But there are many tests that say different. This video says different, by a doctor, and lets a user unknowingly give...

Now, don’t hold it against me, but I’ve never eaten a Twinkie, and now I never will. It’s been all over the news that Hostess will have to shut its operations and lay off 18,5000 people. On the night of November 15, 2012, Hostess Brands recognized a sufficient amount of...
Not a serious question. But it’s question number one of many, while looking into wasteful spending by the Pentagon. From the Washington Times From a workshop on whether Jesus’ salvation would apply to aliens to determining the color of the feathers on a 150-million-year-old creature deemed the Earth’s first bird,...
From the Baltimore Sun: The Ravens scored 27 first-half points, tying the most ever in the John Harbaugh era, and kept pouring it on from there en route to a 55-20 blowout over the hapless Oakland Raiders on Sunday afternoon in front of an announced 71,339 at M&T Bank...

“No matter whom you vote for, the Government always gets in.” True story. “Politicians and diapers should be changed frequently and all for the same reason.” ~José Maria de Eça de Queiroz, translated from Portuguese Oh, I am not knocking voting, in fact, I have been very vocal this year...
“I don’t want to do business with those who don’t make a profit, because they can’t give the best service.” ~ Richard Bach Not familiar with Peter Schiff, and he was obviously out to “catch democrats’ at the convention saying something perhaps they should be giving more thought on...

We all like a good rags to riches story, no? Cinderella goes from the ashes of the corner of the fireplace to a castle with prince charming, the Jeffersons moved on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky, and the list goes on how we are taught to think....
According to The Examiner, the Abortion doctor in the video, apparently, is an active political donor, giving almost all his money to Democrats. When confronted with pro-life Christians, he clearly says his abortions save taxpayers money, prevent shootings like the one in Colorado, and rid the world of “ugly black...
I had no clue to the answer to this question that came to my email yesterday. My first guess was identity theft, I mean, you hear about that a whole lot. According to the email, I was incorrect. Human trafficking. It’s a worldwide epidemic, and a national shame. Experts put...
Saw this on Facebook, and I loved it. It looks like starting now, and if all goes to plan, Lord willing, I get to celebrate our Independence Day and Australia day there in January!
Next time you complain about the school bus commute to school, or the traffic going to work, think about these villagers in Colombia and how they only have two options to get to civilization, a two hour hike around a deep gorge, or this zip line… School children in...
The presidential campaign exploded Thursday into a bitter debate over women’s work, a day after a Democratic adviser made a dismissive remark about stay-at-home mom Ann Romney, wife of the GOP candidate Mitt Romney. Wednesday night on CNN, Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen said Romney, who raised five now-grown sons,...
I am not much for television. But when I am sick, it can be good to have around. I have some sort of sinus infection, fever, and chills, and so it was nice to see this special on Public Television. After being away from Maryland for awhile, it was nice...
Maybe it’s because it’s fresh in my mind, feeding the giraffe at Perth Zoo, but an article regarding the laryngeal nerve in the giraffe’s neck, grabbed my attention. Apparently, Richard Dawkins made the comment that the laryngeal nerve was so poorly made, no one could believe in a designer. He...
The definition given for the Federal Reserve is as follows: The central bank of the United States. The Fed, as it is commonly called, regulates the U.S. monetary and financial system.

The strength of love is shown in great things; the tenderness of love in little things. Robert C. Chapman “God is Light.” “God is Love.” That which professes to be light yet lacks love, is not of God; while that which calls itself love, but is not according to...
Seems some Japanese researchers were curious why humans need all kinds of gear on their feet to weather the snow, and dogs do not. Read from the Institute for Creation Research today: It turns out that dog paws have tiny blood vessels arranged as counter-current heat exchangers. This way, dogs’...

Facebook is slowly adding a Timeline format, and one of the features is that it allows for a large image to be your “Cover” image. Most will likely take one of their own photos and just add it to their facebook, but since I have been “skinning” things for a...
In good times and in hard economical times, we as citizens should always be watchdogs of government. In good times we need to be aware that the good times stay that way, and in bad times, looking how to improve our situation. This is not a lot of fun to...
Rarely news have such sweet stories these days. I had to share this one. The young father stood in line at the Kmart layaway counter, wearing dirty clothes and worn-out boots. With him were three small children. He asked to pay something on his bill because he knew he wouldn’t...
It seems odd to me, that a nation, or part of a nation I found near obsessed with body functions will now, in an effort to fix its financial crisis, limit school children how much toilet paper they can use. I mean, we all know that governments spend too much,...
Am I referring to dieting after Thanksgiving? No. Just John Stossel’s take on what could have been instead of the Thanksgiving we now know and love. Had today’s political class been in power in 1623, tomorrow’s holiday would have been called “Starvation Day” instead of Thanksgiving. Of course, most of...
Laura and I are still watching thirtysomething: The Complete First Seasonon DVD. Until Gilmore Girls I think it was my favorite TV show of all time. I was pleased to see others thought so too, as it made it on #19 on TV Guide’s Greatest TV Shows of All...

Much has been documented about the difference between the Tea Party and the Occupy Movement. The Tea Party demonstrations seemed to be able to make their points without breaking any laws, without arrests, and basically being decent, everyday folk. Yet, what was Maxine Waters’s reaction to them? She said, “…as...
Psalm 139 13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
Recently I have had a number of new clients for web design. I so enjoy meeting new people and learning about their businesses. I am so impressed with the work of Dan Twigg and his wife, Chris. Dan is a custom builder located right here in Pasadena, Maryland. He serves,...
So apparently as a child, I walked by a famous person on my outings in Baltimore without knowing it was Johnny Eck. “I met hundreds and thousands of people, and none finer than the midgets and the Siamese twins and the caterpillar man and the bearded woman and the human...
Unfortunately, rain seems to be the story in Maryland this summer. This is Maryland, specifically Ellicott City, today: More on the way?
We live in insecure times. I talk to a few people who just feel uncertain about their jobs. I spotted this article on my Comcast page today, when I went to pay my cable bill. (At the end of the artcile are also a few tips in how to be...
