We’ve been hearing a lot about the tariff war going on right now between the United States and China. President Trump is trying to strong arm China into changing some of its business practices and to punish it for others. I don’t disagree that many Chinese policies need to be addressed, such as human rights… Continue reading China! Bad?

We’re the Chicken and We Just Haven’t Realized It Yet
I grew up in the country where we would butcher a chicken to eat from time-to-time. The thing about a chicken is you can hypnotize it to help calm it before bringing down the hatchet. Then the chicken will get up and run around for a moment or two because it hasn’t realized it no… Continue reading We’re the Chicken and We Just Haven’t Realized It Yet
Bringing Down the Republican Party
I keep hearing pundits talking about how this president is bringing down the Republican Party. Interesting how they are giving him so much power. A person only has the power to do such a deed if they give him that power. Every day since the current president announced his candidacy, the Republican Party had the… Continue reading Bringing Down the Republican Party

Make Your Bed!
Just ask my husband, I hate making the bed. I don’t see why it has to be crisp and proper every morning. We are just going to get back in and mess it up again in a few hours. It works perfectly fine to get up, throw the covers up so it isn’t a complete… Continue reading Make Your Bed!

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Thou shalt not take the Lord thy God in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to keep… Continue reading Michelle Bachmann Said…
A Single Stool…Really?!?!
I think I’ve mentioned I have several kids, currently all teens. Since I have several, I’m going to be grammatically incorrect and use they or them, or any plural form, when discussing them individually or as a whole. The other day something happened that made me cock my head and say, “Really?”. I had mopped… Continue reading A Single Stool…Really?!?!
Menstrual Cycles on Spreadsheets
Have you heard? Scott Lloyd, Director of Office of Refugee Resettlement, had spreadsheets kept of when detained minor immigrant girls had their periods, if they were pregnant, how they became pregnant, and whether the girls had requested an abortion. I find this quite alarming for a number of reasons. Alarming because it seems there were… Continue reading Menstrual Cycles on Spreadsheets
I Miss My Husband
Last May my husband agreed to move with me away from Albuquerque. It was not an easy decision, but it was made quicker than I expected. After a session with my therapist, well really after many sessions leading up to this last one, I realized I was at a breaking point of my emotional and… Continue reading I Miss My Husband
Potholes vs Taxes
‘Tis the season for potholes. It snows, it rains, it freezes. Snow plows grade the roads while throwing salt down. All ingredients for the piecemeal pothole repairs to pop out and just normal weather wear and tear. ‘Tis this season too for the complaining about the potholes. Why aren’t they being fixed faster? Have you… Continue reading Potholes vs Taxes
