“What we don’t want is a situation where the values of the country have moved on and the monarchy is centuries behind the times. “We are surely all opposed to discrimination on the grounds of gender and we are surely also opposed to discrimination against Catholics.” But opponents of the bill, including Tory Lord Campbell of Alloway and the Bishop of Winchester, the Rt Rev Michael Scott-Joynt, said it would separate the state from both the Church of England and the Christian faith.”

I’ve wondered about that. Poor Anne. She’s not first in line by reason of her gender, not because she’s not qualified because the only thing you have to do to qualify is to be born a male. What will happen if that is ever successfully challenged?
Also in this day and age how is it the state has the right to tell some one what religion they have to be in order to belong to the Monarchy? Tisk tisk. I see a make over in your future.
Now I’m just a arm chair observer who is trying to hide from my own political problems here in the good old U.S. of blame everything on me America. I’m wondering why it’s just now being brought up and how come everyone isn’t rushing out and getting behind it?

Making friends is never easy…
Making friends was something I always struggled with as a teenager — my social ineptitude and total lack of fashion sense put my peers off; people of that age not exactly being known for their ability to “see the person inside.” Continue Reading »

A few weeks ago I visited some friends in El Paso, Texas, which is right on the US/Mexican border. The issue of illegal immigration never fails to stir up strong feelings on all sides of the issue, and is a constant source of controversy. While I don’t want to come down on one side or the other, I noticed some interesting things. Continue Reading »

Of course not assets because we are really more of a blog board but in general my thoughts are about Gossip Boards.
I started on my first gossip board back in 1998, it is there where I met Grace believe it or not she is still a friend. We met on a Oprah board about panic attacks. We’ve moved way past Oprah but the reason we met to begin with is what has tied us together all through the years.
I don’t think gossip boards are bad, it makes our world more homey, you can relax with old friends. Information gets out faster and people even meet and fall in love on gossip boards. Continue Reading »

I’m disgusted, disgruntled, disillusioned and dismayed – with John Edwards. Personally, I don’t care who the senator from North Carolina with the perfect hair sleeps with, but the scandal surrounding his alleged affair with a campaign aide cost him the democratic vice presidential slot. I’ve been ranting for months that he would have been the best choice for the position; he’s got Southern, working class roots and no one is going to be elected to the Presidency unless he or she can appeal to the white, working class South. Hillary couldn’t do it, and Barack can’t do it alone. Edwards’ paltry attempts at humility played well in this part of the country; Southerners don’t like an egotistical braggart. A candidate must trumpet his or her qualifications while at the same time appearing humble and modest. Edwards had that routine down pat.

The news that pensioners now outnumber teenagers under 16 should surprise nobody. This statistic has been sailing slowly but surely towards us like a stately Saga cruise ship for decades and we have been unable to change its course. Here they come, stacking the decks, those floating millions of elderly, some active, some angry, some happy, some depressed, some hardly sentient, some wishing they were dead. Continue Reading »

Tom Cruise’s front is no longer united.
