Texting for Money
Wednesday September 22, 2010 05:14:45 AM
No matter how many times it seems that your daughter tries
to lecture you on the trick to mastering the art of texting, it never seems to
quite sink in. It’s the new generations
self derived language that puzzles you to no end. Acronyms, abbreviations, slang, an adult can
try to learn the specifics of this language, but truth be told, it feels awkward
because it doesn’t inhibit our daily life vocabulary. Then once you have finally figured out
everything, now is the time for you to understand T9, say what! It’s the texting language that every teenager
knows,...

Recession officially ended in June 2009?
Tuesday September 21, 2010 03:26:26 PM
According to economists “The Great Recession” ended in June 2009. Not that the world is breathing
a sigh of relief, it’s still a good thought to go to bed with at night. But a
question stays stuck in my head, if this is true and the recession did end June
2009, where is all the money that indicate this turn of events?

of the thousands that are still jobless or those who are sweating bullets

before) but I am talking about the other hand of people that...

More and more
bad things happen in this world for no apparent reason. Reading a news
report about another father who imprisoned, raped and abused his
children, systematically, over 15 years, has made my stomach churn. A
few years ago Josef Fitzl was found to have imprisoned his daughter in a
basement, and fathered seven children with her. I remember thinking
how sick I felt and that nobody else could be so evil. Only to be
proved wrong, again, finding out another person has the same depraved
notions. How
can such evil exist in the world? Evil does exist in the world,
though,...

Oil and our world at their Greed
Monday September 06, 2010 11:59:46 PM
I noticed that another oil rig has exploded. I cannot believe this
disaster has occurred so close to the BP disaster. I am amazed that these
disasters continue to happen in our technologically enhanced society.
Is it just greed? My gut instinct is to believe
that the oil companies are so focused on profit they will do anything to make
more money. Are the oil companies so intent on profit that they
are willing to cut corners? Yes, I believe they are. I fear that this will not be the last disaster of this
kind and, unfortunately, more people and wildlife will be affected.
Environmental disasters...
