Stop Killing the Earth

2 Comments / Maryann Miller, Uncategorized / By mcm0704

Here in East Texas protestors are still trying to halt the expansion of the TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline. They block construction sites, chaining themselves to equipment and/or trees, but it is not a fight they will probably win. Too bad. We need to take seriously the dangers of this pipeline, as well as other environmental

New Year’s Resolutions – To Keep or Not to Keep

2 Comments / humor, Slim Randles, Uncategorized / By mcm0704

Thanks to my friend, Slim Randles, for another fun post. I think I am way too much like Annette. (smile) Somehow I’ve always thought New Year’s Goals would be much easier to think about than resolutions. Resolutions are so definite. Annette George, owner of the Soup ‘R Market, picked up the list of her

I know it is not officially the New Year until tomorrow, but in some place in the world it is already tomorrow, so it is okay to start the good wishes flowing. Note, I said, good wishes, not champagne, although some of that is perfectly okay in my book. Tonight, I will be celebrating with

All I got for Christmas was an iPad and the flu. No, seriously, I did get a number of other lovely gifts, which I have not been able to enjoy because of the aches and chills, and fever and coughing, and wanting to sleep for hours. Therefore I failed to get this posted yesterday, which

Merry Christmas

I know the politically correct thing to say at this time is Happy Holidays, lest we offend someone who doesn’t celebrate Christmas, but I feel like being a rebel today. Besides that, I don’t get the least bit offended when someone says Happy Hanukkah or Happy Kwanzaa. Those wishes mean something special to the folks

The World Did Not End

Good morning. We are all still here, so obviously the prediction that the world would end because the Mayan calender did was wrong. Funny how that happens with predictions. It’s also funny how plans go awry. This time of the year is busy for everyone who celebrates winter holidays. For me it is Christmas, and

School Shootings

It’s hard to let the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut last Friday pass without a comment. I know there are no words that can take away the awful pain of loss so many are experiencing, so all I can offer is my support and prayers that the families and friends of those who lost their lives
