Enough Of Michael Jackson
With The jobless rate at 9.5 percent and millions of Americans without any form of health care the air ways can only focus on Michael Jackson.
When all you hear all day is how many million copies of his music are being sold, and what the family will gain it makes me sick.
I was sympathetic with the family at first, but it has gotten more than a little out of control.
Once again it would seem that those that tend to ignore not only mans laws, but Gods as well make out like bandits.
I hear people all across the nation asking what is wrong with our kids. The kids seem to have no respect for parents or anyone else; it could be because we glorify these sick demented people.
Obama was in a town meeting, when a precious lady stood up to tell her story of having cancer and no health care. It would seem as though government and those in charge of health care have taken it upon themselves just to let wonderful American citizens die.
Come on people stand up and say enough waiting we need jobs and we also need health care for American citizens.

Michael Jackson’s Children
What are the courts thinking when they give Michael’s three precious children over to the same evil father that made Michael Jackson’s life a nightmare.
I think it is about time that the courts think about Michael’s past life and who would be best suited to raise these children.
Personally I think that yet once again his father Joe is seeing dollar signs.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if these children could be raised in a stable loving home?
It has been stated in the news that Joe Jackson should not give interviews.
I could not agree more it shows him for the greedy heartless person that he has always been.
Madoff Received Sentencing
Well it seems as though there is still some justice in our world and a Judge that is not afraid to give a man a sentence he deserves.
I for one was beginning to believe that if you were rich, in sports or a politician you could get away with anything.
For years it would seem as though the law protected the perpetrator instead of those that had been harmed in some way.
With all the pain and devastation that Madoff caused, I cannot believe that he thought that he could get off with 10 years. When he apologized to those who he had made suffer because of his greed, it fell on deaf ears I am sure.
Thank God for Judge Denny Chin.
Chin, who called Madoff’s crimes "extraordinarily evil," said the maximum sentence was important for deterrence, and also for the victims, many of whom erupted into applause after the judge announced the sentence. Many hugged and some of them broke down in tears.

Michael Jackson Sad Life
Michael Jackson had a very sad life, it seems as though he spent his life looking for the place where he belonged. Like the rest of the children in his family he never had a a real childhood.
I know that Michael made a lot of mistakes and caused a lot of pain for some, but he also brought a lot of joy. He had demons that he had to deal with daily. It is so sad that the joy he searched for never seemed to come his way.
We have all heard the old saying that money can not buy happiness, well we have seen this now in two of our greatest artist Michael and Elvis.
My hope is that for his children’s sake the press will not drag his name through the mud, these children deserve some happiness and peace.
The Jackson children including Michael were all raised by his parents in a strict Jehovah’s Witness home. Michael made a decision in 1987, to leave the religion after his sister LaToya was shunned due to the religions strict rules and belief one of the rules being leisure activities were forbidden.
Joseph Jacksons wife Katherine kept their children locked in a tiny 2 bedroom house while their father worked nights. The Jackson children secretly sneaked out of their father’s sight to practice singing, dancing and playing music.
Later Joseph and his wife became the children’s managers. It has been reported that Joseph was physically and mentally abusive to his children throughout their childhood. This abuse caused Michael problems throughout his adult life as well.
Barack Obama Letter to Malia and Sasha and Discussion
Over the weekend, Parade Magazine published a heartfelt letter from a father
I have to admit, this last Presidential race took a lot out of me and away from me. Going into the election, I was heavily undecided, wavering from one candidate, to another as the process of elimination began. Early on I gave in to the spewing of big media and doubted the abilities of Barack Obama and at one point, I was so ashamed of being American, I felt like a woman without a country – I could not believe the choice this country had given me.
That has changed. A lot has changed. Now the shame I feel is that I didn’t believe in Barack from the beginning. What a remarkable fight he fought – to overcome an abundance of doubters just like me to rise to lead this country, my country.
For the first time in 8 years, I feel hopeful – I feel secure – perhaps it’s the fact that Barack Obama is such a wonderful father to his girls. And not just when photo opportunities arise. The fact that he will make decisions with the future of his daughters in mind – offers me a sense of comfort and peace because when he makes decisions for his own kids, he’s making decisions for mine too.
My children and I will be celebrating the inauguration right along with Washington. I want my children to absorb and appreciate the valuable history lesson they are living. What a wonderful thing to experience.
Now I ask you – Do you think Barack Obama being the father of such young children will help him be a better President for all the children of a nation in need of change?
to his daughters and from a President to his nation. As I read the letter, the sense of peace and security became overwhelming – the sort of overwhelming you experience when you feel the lump of pride rise from your chest into your throat as tears begin to sting your eyes.

Low Cost Family Vacations
For those of you that are looking for an economical way to get to get away for just a couple of days all you need do is check out the deals on line.
There are a number of deals that may fit your very need and you can also call the motel yourself and ask for a better rate.
I recently called Expedia to make a reservation, but the catch there is if you have to change the date or your trip is canceled you still pay.
Upon arriving at our destination I found I could have gotten the same or better rate by calling the motel myself. When you make the arrangements with the motel you can cancel as long as you do it within 24 hours of the time you were to arrive.
You need to remember that motels are in a position to make you a great deal now more than ever.
Below you will find some of the places I found on line that are family friendly and have some great deals. Happy hunting.

Law of Attraction - Building a Vision Board
After watching The Secret recently, I decided to build my own vision board. Some of the things I included were:
- Vacation spots
- Ultimate washer/dryer set
- Furniture
- Deposit sl
- ip from my bank account that shows a deposit for a set dollar a month with a date
- Bank statement with a set dollar amount and date by which I hope to see that amount
- A photo of a large mailbox with $$ signs flowing into it
- a BMW 300 series
- a mega closet that’s the size of my current bedroom
I have lots more on my board, but it’s an ongoing work in progress.
If you’ve done a vision board, what’s on yours?
If you’ve not done one, what will you put on yours when you do create one?

Killing Women and Children
This story has really been an awakening for me as far as when is it time to say enough.
It seems as though some men would rather kill their family than lose face or pay support.
I believe that until these people have to pay with their own life this type of tragedy will never stop. We need laws to protect families not killers.
Where is it written that the lives of a woman and children are worthless?
This may be the way the law allows men to act in other countries, but these people are doing these unspeakable acts in the United States and Canada. We are supposed to have more civilized laws than that. It is time for our governments to stand up and say, “to live in our countries you have to abide by our laws”.
When these men can run back to their countries and never have to suffer any consequences the terrible acts will never cease.
Teenage victims of the double murder were 17-year-old Amarjit and his 15-year-old brother Ranjit, the boys were killed by their stepfather. The mother Sukhwinder, 35, remains in the hospital in stable condition, but she is not out of the woods yet.

Doing It Old School: Victorian Discipline
When people hear the word nanny, they often think of the women in Victorian novels, the governesses and nannies who ruled the nursery. Sometimes they were severe; sometimes soft and understanding. What would Jo Frost think of common discipline methods in Victorian times?
“Spare the rod and spoil the child” was taken quite literally. A cane was the favorite whipping tool both in classrooms and homes, with a whip as second choice. Another popular form of punishment was locking children in their bedrooms without food or water.
Victorian parents claimed to be doing this for the good of their child, as the belief then was that children were born with ‘Original Sin.’ Their spirits must be broken in order for values and morals to be imprinted on a ‘clean’ soul and mind. Not the quite naughty chair, is it? What would Jo say?
Oh, well. Next time your kid complains about having to go to his room, make him read Jane Eyre.
Should Schools Make Concessions for Pregnant Teens?
I love the morning news. There’s always something there that trips my trigger and let’s me know there are still many things in life I am passionate about.
This morning one of the top news stories was with regards to pre
gnant teens wanting special concessions and privileges.
I thought my husband was going to have to pick me from the ceiling.
Perhaps this is a time when homeschooling ala the Chapman family would come in handy. These girls chose to go out, have sex without protection and now want the schools to make special accommodations?
Might as well let the rude awakening take place. The sooner the better, actually!
I think NOT!
Personally, I think a girl who becomes pregnant should be restricted to homeschooling anyway.
On a lighter note, here’s the conversation that took place with one of the boys:
Kid: What’s got you set off this time mom?
Me: Pregnant teens wanting special concessions at school
Kid: What do they want one filled with chocolate?
Me: Not that kind of concession goofball!
