I just discovered that tweets are no longer getting posted daily, I’m working on getting that fixed….no idea what happened and pretty annoyed by that.
Ok, what is going on in my little corner of the world……
We had a few days of sunshine and decent temps, now back to cold and rainy….it is Oregon, the normal.
Just received an email from my Aunt Debbie, my cousin Rodman (named after my late uncle) has been recommended to hospice. =( He doesn’t even hit 27 until June. I didn’t grow up with him so wasn’t close due to that and age, but I have lots of memories of his mom and dad and me teaching his older sister how to walk. Not sure what if anything I can do to help and feel totally helpless and crushed. He is part of my family and it hurts. My thoughts are with them, but that seems to be all I can do. =(
Hubby and I have hit a rough spot economically but are doing well. Just needing to cut back and keep a closer eye on things. We are grateful that we doing much better then many other people are nationally.
If you’ve been following my tweets, I’ve been getting very annoyed at the war on women that they right wing nut jobs are doing. Limbaugh’s crappy comments just highlighted and showed it for what it was. I’m really hoping that this wakes women up to start taking part. So many laws have been passed to roll back our rights and treat us like imbecilic property it is astonishing. And many have no idea how bad it has gotten, they are just trying to live their lives. And my question is, where are the men in this? The ones that don’t believe like the right wingers, why aren’t they speaking up?
At the rate this is going, they are going to take away our right to vote……ggeezz
Debating on going to Salem Apr 28th and take part in the March Unite Against the War on Women : https://www.facebook.com/UniteWomen
I know I do a lot of tweets and posts about issues, I hope that they are educational and make people more aware of how the government effects them more then they realize, but maybe it time to do a little more. Even though, I’m a serious homebody and anti-social.
Not sure what to think about Peyton Manning. I’ve always wanted him to retire as a Colt. =( But I understand why the Colts need to move on (they totally screwed up for not preparing in case he got injured) and start to rebuild. Irsay and Manning did it really classy. I really don’t see the Colts doing anything for the next few years. I do hope, for Manning, that he still has a few more years left in him inspite of the injury and he can retire on his own terms.
We got ourselves IPad 2s for the holidays. We are thoroughly enjoying them. We love the surfing options, keeping up with twitter, but loving the ebook option more. I like being able to update facebook/twitter from it, but for a lot of typing, such as this and skype, it has a lot to be desired. I need my macbook for that. We are debating (in the long term) of getting the wireless apple keyboard just for extensive typing.
I do love being able to have a small library in my hand due to my ipad. I’ve already read the Hobbit & LOTR….being a few years since I have. Currently going between reading Agathe Christie and “God Hates You : Hate Him Back” while using his arguments to highlight the bible I was given in ’89
Boy, reading this…..why would anyone want to be Jewish, Christian or Muslim?? “God” is such a hateful, murderous and jealous thing (where it acknowledges the existence of other “gods”.) It teaches racism, genocide…..no wonder why religious nuts jobs feel comfortable in their hatred and bigotry…it taught all comes from the old testament……and I haven’t even gotten the new testament yet. Like they say, you can’t fully read and understand the bible without becoming an atheist.
Joined the Freedom From Religion Foundation a few months ago. Never been a fan of organized religion, especially have living in the bible thumping mid west. Good way to turn you against religion. But I always thought the bible and things were a log of history….but after actually reading and learning history, nope, it is nothing but a mythology…..just like the greek and roman gods. Sad that the world still believes in it.
So now I’m reading up on the bible so I can understand and defend myself from the thumpers who have no respect for people who do not believe the same way.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten to the point that I refuse to put up with the crap that I’ve tolerated over the years. As I say, I’m old and cranky! lol
