I will be swimming April 5th to help fight malaria! Please donate here: http://www.worldswimagainstmalaria.com/jen52. Every $5 donation buys a mosquito net to help fight malaria – a very preventable, treatable disease that kills far too many people every year.
Gram’s Catholic-ness
I’ve been spending far too much time with my grandmother lately. Here’s the situation: Grandpa can’t drive because he’s in too much pain to walk most of the time from his Rheumatoid Arthritis and other ailments. Grandma can’t drive because her eyesight blows. I’m glad neither of them are driving – and you should be, […]
Hillary’s Best Argument
It seems that Hillary Clinton’s best current argument for why voters should vote in favor of her is that she can win in the “big” states. Frankly, this is (at best) just plain silly. Right now, the voters are voting for the Democratic presidential nominee. Her only *real* opponent is Barack Obama. If we are […]
Questions, Answers, and Relief
Questions: Why do people insist on driving their vehicles into ours? Why can’t my car door stay closed when I close it so the dome light doesn’t drain the battery? Answers: (to questions that may differ from those listed above) PCOS – at least it’s an answer and now we have a plan IE sucks. […]
Why I can’t trust Hillary Clinton to create a good health care plan
I’ve heard Hillary repeatedly claim that her healthcare plan is superior to all others, and it has sat rather uncomfortably with me since the beginning, especially because of a fact stated in Michael Moore’s film Sicko. According to Michael Moore’s website, Hillary Clinton became the second largest recipient in the Senate of health care industry […]
That’s heavy, doc!
I borrowed that line from Marty McFly because that’s how I’ve been feeling lately. Friday night (Feb. 8th, I suppose) around 10:15 the phone rang. Being the hard-partying girl that I am, I was getting ready to settle in for the night and go to bed soon. I didn’t recognize the phone number, but due […]
Why I do not support Hillary
I wish I could support Hillary Clinton for President. Not only do I think the time has come for the USA to be governed by a woman, I think someone with her values could be very valuable to our country. However, since she was criticised for her role (and input) in the health care reformation […]
Thanks
To whoever dug us out of the remaining snow on our sidewalks and driveway with a snowblower, I say thanks. We were in no shape to do shoveling again. I had no idea that shoveling could make your hands sore. I knew my whole body would hurt, but not my hands. Thanks.
The young and the ignorant
I wish I had something better to say about the recent accident that killed two students at my sister’s school, one student at another school, and left another one in the hospital. It’s very tragic. I’ll link you up to the news stories: http://blogs.jsonline.com/nichols/archive/2007/11/28/ntsb-interested-in-i-43-crash.aspx http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22013658/ http://www.wisn.com/news/14704785/detail.html http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22103779/ It looks like there are some key lessons […]
Another Late Night With My Beloved
And you thought this would be racy, huh? Nope, my love affair with books has been going on since long ago. I remember sneaking my booklight and a book under the covers as a kid and throwing them at the wall on the other side of my bed as my parents knocked to say goodnight. […]
