I couldn’t believe what I saw as the headline, “Teen lives 4 months with no heart, leaves hospital.”  Absolutely amazing.  The complete story is on news.yahoo.com if you want to read it.  Trust me, it is worth reading.  This young woman has a very special thing to do on this old earth or she would have died a long time ago.

Technology is growing in leaps and bounds in the medical field.  Where we once could not see, they are developing better CAT scans and similar equipment.  Now this young woman has shown us that even a machine can be your heart if necessary.  Absolutely amazing.  God bless this young girl and her family.  God Bless the doctors that fought so hard to keep her alive but none of it could have been done without the blessing of God.

Lindsay Lohan has been pelted with a flour bomb on arrival at a Paris nightclub wearing a fur stole. Animal rights activists showered the 22-year-old actress with flour when she went to the VIP Room Theater in the early hours of Saturday with her friend, disc jockey Samantha Ronson.  What gives them the right to do something like that?

PETA just goes too far sometimes.  This may not have been PETA that is responsible for this latest fiasco but Animal rights activists just go too far sometimes.  Do they eat meat?  Then they need to be punished for animal rights violations I guess.  Animals, including fish and shell fish are animals too but a lot of them will eat fish if no other meat.

Excuse me but we are animals too if the truth be known and they are the ones acting like a bunch of animals if you ask me, which no one did but that’s my opinion about crap like that.

We can’t do enough to honor our veterans.  My great grandmother had a cousin that was a Marine who died on the beaches of Normandy in WWII.  She also had two brothers that fought in the Army in WWII and had two other brothers in the Navy.  My grandfather was in the Army in the Korean War.  My papaw RW was a Marine in Vietnam and his unit is still talked about by Marines today.  My father was also a Marine.  So our family has a proud background in military service.

My papaw RW was injured in Vietnam and volunteered with the local Disabled American Veterans driving veterans to local VA hospitals for years.  We owe all of our veterans more than we could ever repay.  Because of them, we are free.  Because of them, we know that we will be protected from any other country that should try and invade our borders.  Because of them, we owe the world to them.  God Bless our Veterans, old and young.

This is the first year I have been old enough to vote and I DID IT!!  I hope you did too.  My grandmother told me that this is one of the most important things I can do to help our country.  It doesn’t matter if the person I voted for wins or loses, my voice was heard either way.  That’s a pretty empowering feeling to know that my one tiny voice will be heard.  I just hope the best man wins no matter which one it is.  I just hope they help all of us and not a select few.

Tonight is Halloween.  Poor Michelle still get’s a little scared of some of the costumes but I have told her over and over that they are just kids in the neighborhood and there’s absolutely nothing to be afraid of.  Mommy would never let anyone hurt her or take her anywhere anyone could hurt her.  Then Frankenstein walks by and she’s hiding behind my legs.

Everything is all better once she hears the sound of candy hitting her pumpkin Trick-or-treat bucket. Then she’s ready to knock old Frankie down to get to the next door.  Kids are so much fun.  It’s a shame her stupid father can’t be here to see this but that’s his fault and not mine.
