The schools need to use their own resources instead of having the kids collect things or sell things.

One teacher is having the kids collect some stamp off cereal boxes. All that does is help the HIGH PRICED cereal companies sell more of their product.

My grandson dumped about a forth of a box of ceral in the trash can to get the box to cut some stamp out for the school.

Ceral cost too much money to dump it in the trash can.

When I talked to him about it, he said, "See these stamps, grandma, I need them for the school."

Who are the speech writers for each of the people speaking at these political conventions??????

I know they do not write their own speeches. Do they even know what will be written in the speech ?????

I read about a president who once gave a speech. He was referring to a machine of some kind. He said,"Here I stand with this !! ! ! ! in my hand." THe item that he was talking about was as big as a room.

I did hear that Ronald Reagan did write his speeches. So they were his own thoughts.

Our greatest fear: That the 2012 election bull will start the day after the 2008 election.

OH!!! I hope we will not have to listen to any more of this.

I'm about ready to say good-by to any TV. or Newspaper.

What do you think???????

I was watching a talk show yesterday, the facts were shocking.

1 out of every 4 high school kids already has an STD.  The kids were talking about other kids having sex inside the school building.   On religious school had a chapel.  Kids were using that chapel for sex.

We are something like 29 th in the education of our kids, now the schools  and parents are allowing this crap to go on in the schools.   How much lower can our country  get, in education, parenting skills, and morals?????????

What  about the normal kids who cannot afford private school, but want an education.

THEY GET BULLIED BECAUSE they are not dumb enough to ruin their lives.

WHAT  IS  GOING ON????????

Let's get an alarm that would fit any bus, car or truck. A must on all new and used cars.

An alarm that will ring if anyone, or animal is still in the car when it is locked. Or when the driver is not in the car. This would be inside, with an alarm that would go-off if there is any person or animal in the trunk.

An absolute must.

We need some major changes.  Things are certainly not working the way there are.

America for the people, by the people?????????

The supreme court judges are working for the people.  We need to vote them in.  They are mostly old and need to be replaced. 

 When they decided that the rape of an eight year old was not grounds for the death penalty, I thought , "MY Goodness, they don't even have a clue.

When I am driving behind a truck or higher van, I can't see the traffic lights. I just have to follow the guy in front of me.

Today, the van in front of me made his left turn and I followed, about 1/2 through the yellow light, it turned red. Everyone honked at me. I may get a ticket.

St. Louis, raise your traffic lights so that everyone can see them.

I never liked Hillary Clinton, but if she puts her name in for nomination and wins, I will vote for her.

I think she will win in a wind-fall.

Since I have to take this medication due to the breaking of my pancres.  Last month's supply was $128.00.  I was so worried about getting it refilled today. 

Well, today when I went to pick it up, I nearly fainted when she said, $232.46.  I said, "That must be a mistake."   She checked  and guess what?????  The price was  raised $100.00 in the past month.

I would like to know what people in other countries are paying for this medication. 

Are Americans just getting ripped off all the way around?????

And while I am gripping, What next????   First they flood the country with drugs, so that many people are not in their right mind.   THen they water down the educational system, so no one knows anything.  Now they raise the price  on everything and send our jobs to another country.

NOW WHAT????  Most will be on some kind of government assistance.  

THEN they have you!!!!!   You will have no freedoms.

Was anyone else at McDonald's this morning in Sullivan, MO.  Two van loads of people came in.  They were loud and over-bearing.  When they left, it took two workers to clean up thier mess, the tables they used, the floor.  These were adults and looked like college kids.  They were clean and neat and looked professional. 

They threw tolet paper all over the bathroom floors, looked like they stood on the stool, black shoe marks on the tolets.  Then they went to their automobile.  They threw soda containers  all around their car, sat in their car for awhile and cleaned out their car on the parking lot.  Someone should have called the police, littering.  What a mess.

You cannot fix people like this.  What  can you do with mean, hateful people who just spend their time trying to show their rears.  When they left, I noticed that one van did not have a hub-cap on one tire.

Took my three grandsons to Forest Park yesterday. They had a lot of fun. Climbed trees just like the professionals. One was up on a limb almost before they finished getting the rest of them ready. I think that he will be doing that more in the future, and he is only nine.

There was so much to see and do. The kids got little white oak trees to plant. There Dad is building a new house for them, so they will have a place to plant them.

We were there when the 50 people who rode bicyles 25 thousand miles came in.

I havn't been out of the hospital long, so the walking was almost too much. Took a chair and they had chairs to sit on also.

Some of my grandsons live up around Champaign, IL, corn country. One is a teen. Well, he was so excited, because he had a job, something to do with the tassles of corn. $7.50 an hour.

Someone there took them, 70 of the kids out there to work and guess what the migrants were everywhere. Very disappointed kids, just wanted to make a few dollars and the migrants got the jobs. He only got to work one and 1/2 hours.

Migrants need to stay home.

All liberals and all conservatives do not have the same thoughts about what they believe or want for this country.

Some liberals are really just non-conforming 60's hippies.  Others are regular business people wanting a change

Conservatives can be real strong-willed, and others are not.

I think each liberal and each conservative would have individual ideas about what those words mean.

What do you think, how do you see liberals, individual ones and how do you see conservatives, individual one.  Tell us about them.  I think we will all get a good laugh about some  of your liberal or conservative friends and relatives.

I think we have way-to-much mal-practice in our health field.
If you talk to people, nearly everyone knows someone who has been hurt by our trusted health professionals.

I for one just spent 3 weeks in the hospital, almost died because of mal-practice of a doctor. In fact, they do not know for sure if I will ever fully recover.
