I am having trouble wrapping my brain around this story for a number of reasons. A thirty three old woman, in Southern California, gave birth this month, to eight babies. This is the third such case in U.S. history. Either the mother or the grandmother works in a fertility clinic. The mother was given fertility drugs and was implanted with eight embroyos which, from what I have read, is a costly procedure. Normally, only some of the embroyos survive or if there are too many that survive, t...

You have just purchased a new home. It is your dream house with plenty of room for every member of your family and even a guest room. It has carpet throughout, brand new appliances, big beautiful windows and a garage that you can park both of your cars in. Congratulations! There is one problem though. You can't live in your new home because it is making you ill. It was just a couple of weeks after a pregnant single woman moved into her new house that she started to notice a strange odor which ...

Today an African American became the 44th President of the United States. I thought about the injustice of the fifties and sixties when Blacks were not allowed to vote or sit in the front of a bus. I thought about segregated schools and fire hoses, people who were jailed for marching for their right to use public facilities. I thought about Martin Luther King Jr. and how very hard he fought for justice for all Americans. Today, we witnessed deomocracy at work. A proud day for Americans. &nbs...

The god of islam is allah. The muslim god is unapproachable by sinful man. He is a god of judgement, not grace; a god of wrath rather than love. The muslim's desire is to submit to the point where he can hold back the judging arm of allah and, perhaps, through the capricious whim of allah, inherit eternal life in an earthly paradise of gluttony and sexual gradification. Muslims have no concept of God as a loving and compassionate Father. Muslims do not believe that Jesus died on the cross for ou...

  The worlds most famous evangelical turned 90 today. I love Billy Graham. I was listening to him one night in February 1971. While watching the television, I thought, I wish that I was as good as Billy Graham. A few moments later he said that he was going to Heaven, not because he preached the Gospel around the world but because he had accepted Jesus Christ as his personel Saviour. It was on that night that I too accepted Jesus' sacrifice for my sins. The most important decisio...

It's over. Barack Obama will be the new president of the United States. I am upset today because I don't believe it was a fair fight. When you have ninty five percent of the media hoping you don't win and saying so, John McCain didn't have much of a chance. I wasn't even a big fan of McCain but he was, for me, more diserable than Obama. I do think it is great that we have the first Black president and that so many people who didn't care about politics got out there and voted, many for the ...

I hear The Fat Lady vocalizing and this election will soon be over. It has gone on forever it seems. Someone said the other day that they will be so happy when there is some news on besides the elections. I told them that the election news will go on for some time,,,,"Why did he win?.....Why did he lose?....What does this mean for America?" With so much turmoil in the world this is an especially important one election. I'm praying that John McCain wins. Here are some of my reasons. First ...

America has many problems at this time but I believe one of the worst is the media. Let's say you have a problem in your personal life and you ask a couple of professionals to help you out. Neither one wants to help you because if they do they will have to expose something about themselves that isn't very pretty. They agree to help you but actually are fabricating answers that are of no help at all. That's what we have with the media in America today. As an older American I can tell yo...

Peta..you know those vegetarians who eat no meat, fish or dairy. They are at it again. They wrote to Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream people in Denver, Colorado, telling them something exciting that is happening in Switzerland. Seems there is a restaurant there that is using breast milk in all of their dishes where people normally use cow's milk. Soups and sauces, you name it. Peta thinks it's a cruel practice to get milk from mama cows.Ben and Jerrys didn't think much of this inovative idea and neit...

It's difficult at times to think of Hollywood stars as regular folks when you have grown up watching them on that big screen in a dark theater.Paul Newman died today of cancer at 83. He was always one of my very favorite actors. He hated the fact that he was so handsome and that his blue eyes were mentioned more than his acting ability, but when you are a twelve year old girl, with a major crush, what do you know about good acting?As I grew older I came to appreciate Mr. Newman's acting and his ...

I am ticked off tonight!Sarah Palin is in the news as the first GOP Vice Presidental candidate in America's history. She and her husband have five children and some Democrats are pouncing on her like a duck on a Junebug."A woman with five children has no business being Vice President of the U.S.""Her children will suffer greatly because she can't possibly do the job of Vice President and be a good mother at the same time."On and on. HOGWASH!!!! Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, has five childr...

I was in a drug store the other day looking for some nail polish. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a sign above the lipsticks...."Go Green with Cosmetics"! No, it wasn't a new brand name but the sign implied that if you were concerned about global warming you should buy that particular brand of cosmetics. Are they serious?I don't know if our planet's temperature is warming and if it is, I don't know if we humans are causing it. What I do know is that "Going Green" is big business. In fact, for ...

It seems that HDTV is changing the face of Hollywood, literally. Celebrities are known for their inhanced breasts, re-shaped noses and faces that don't move. The number of surgeries for the elite in Hollywierd is increasing because every line, mole, wart, freckle and wrinkle shows up so prominently on High Definition Television. The Japanese say they will soon introduce HD that will increase definition by a whopping 500%. A wrinkle will look like I-5 in Los Angeles.If you know a college student ...

In 1984, Democratic Presidental hopeful Walter Mondale, chose as his Vice-President, Geraldine A. Ferraro. This was a first in American politics. Never before had a women been chosen for this position. In the event of the President's death the Vice-President would take command of the nation.Feminists were exstatic and rightly so. Britian had a powerful woman, Margaret Thatcher, for their Prime Minister and one of Israel's leaders was "The Iron Lady From Milwaukee", Golda Meir. It was time for wo...

I am THRILLED that Senator and Presidential hopeful John McCain has chosen Sarah Palin as his Vice President! She is one tough cookie! Married with five children, the youngest ever govenor of Alaska, a supportor of the 2nd Ammendment, and Pro-Life. Her fifth child has Down Syndrome. She understands heart ache. Her oldest son is going to Iraq soon so I am sure she is pro-military. Sarah Palin is unfamiliar to most of America but has a high approval rating in Alaska. They like her bluntness an...

I re-newed my membership with the NRA this month and they sent me a DVD. As I watched, I could not believe that this could ever happen in America.After Katrina, the Police went on TV and announced that the citizens of New Orleans would have to give up thier guns. Police, armed and pointing their guns, went door to door, to law abiding citizens, and confiscated their weapons, leaving them defenseless. One elderly woman had a small handgun for protection and was knocked down by the police because ...

This week the New Yorker came out with a cover that is making a lot of people angry. It shows Obama is Muslim garb and his wife Michele is dressed like a soldier. There is an American flag burning in the fireplace and of picture of Osama Bin Laden hanging on the wall. Obama supporters are saying this will hurt his campagin and some are calling for a boycot against the magazine. They say this is not satire. Several years ago Jerry Falwell sued Larry Flint. There was an ad in Hustler magazine f...

I had seven phone calls to make today. Why so many? Because I keep putting off using the phone except to talk with family or friends. You know the drill. Dial the number and you get the following. "If you have a touch-tone phone please press one now. Then you hear "Press one if you wish to hear this menu in English". No I want to hear your menu in Swahili or Galician. Of course I want it in English. "Please listen carefully to our menu as it has recently changed". (I think they change their menu...

If you or someone you know needs help with prescription drugs, you should give Partnership For Prescription Drugs a try. The web address is pparx.com and the phone number is 1-888-4ppa-now (1-888-477-2669) I know someone, a diabetic, who received ten vials of insulin for free and 190 blood pressure pills also for free.
