Elton John feels like 'second-class citizen'
Did you see this?
Keep in mind, Elton John is not a citizen of the United States.
My advise, Elton, would be to shut up and sing.
I, for one, am sick and tired of so called Celebrities making asses out of themselves by assuming that hard working Americans care what they think. Many of them just enjoy your talent and don't even want to KNOW what you think. Or maybe that's just me.
.....and as far as inserting your sex life into my mind, please, PLEASE stop it. I don't insert mine into yours, because I'm, well, private like that. It used to be considered good manners in polite society. I am unclear what happened to polite society, but it seems to have morphed out of control.
Furthermore, the most liberal state in this whole country has voted on legalizing gay marriage, twice, recently, and lo and behold, even California voted it down. Hard to believe, with some of the crap that those people pass on themselves, but true. You can look it up.
So, Elton, if you want to become an American citizen, which I doubt,. and I understand there is a long line for anyway, I welcome you to get in that line. After that you can feel free to dedicating your life to whatever you want, as will be your right as a citizen.
Just don't be surprised if no one cares.
You have joined a list I am keeping that gets longer by the day of celebrities I will no longer give a dime to. I have had it with you people. Yeah, you heard me right.
Remember R-E-S-P-E-C-T?
It goes both ways. Have some, please.

It is snowing again. I think we have at least another 5 inches and it's still coming down.
Very beautiful this morning. The only thing to hear is the wind, no one has stirred yet. PERFECT.
I have a barn and cows across the way from me, and this morning the little calves are running around kicking up their heels. Their poor mothers, from this distance, look to be up to their knees in snow. Every time one of the calves frisks by the cows look at them as if thinking "Crazy kid. I remember when I could kick up my heels.....". Then one of the calves will nurse for awhile. The cows just stand there. I guess they could if they wanted to....the snow isn't THAT deep yet.
I love, love, LOVE days like this when you don't have to get out and have everything you could ever want right here at home.
I am going to try a white chili enchilada casserole today.
Hope you take the time to BE HOME while you can. Sometimes God makes it impossible not to. :)

Get real

If you haven't seen this article, you should.
It is horrible. It is graphic. It is almost, ALMOST, incomprehensible to me.
It makes me sick and makes me feel hopeless for our country.
The easiest thing to do is to stop the problem.
On TV when I see teenagers talking about what they think we should do about teenage pregnancy, (Let's stop right there: WHY are we asking teenagers what they think? Are we not giving them more credit than they, perhaps, are due? Is this not like asking the fox how he thinks the henhouse should be guarded? Contemplate this question.) and the interviewer asks "What about abstinence"?, (Let's stop again to contemplate whether this is, indeed, a common sense, affordable solution that anyone can accomplish) the teenagers get a flat eyed, arrogant expression on their (still forming, round cheeked) faces and say "That's not realistic".
Now, let loose and laugh, all you people with children, laugh and laugh and laugh. I did. Every time I saw it, and I saw it 4 times. Once for each child I had. Of which I planned exactly 1.
I would refer these teenagers to generations of women AND men, who, from the dawn of time, have had to face the reality that action A would have a very good chance of resulting in consequence B. And those were just the MARRIED ones!! These teenagers could ask their parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, why, they could even ask a priest (!) and they would get the same story from anyone who has ever given birth, found themselves pregnant, or known someone who has.
Yep.
I think that a responsible adult would tell them the truth and NOT sit there and listen to the drivel they come up with to excuse themselves from taking responsibility, as if it made any kind of sense.
I think a responsible adult would say "Get real, people."
Here is another good article with some history on abortion since Roe vs. Wade:
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/257640/truth-about-abortion-robert-verbruggen
If you are inconveniently pregnant or know of someone who is, please consider adoption.
I almost always know at least one couple who would give anything to have a child. LOTS of people know couples who want a child. At least consider it. It would be a realistically good choice. A true win-win situation as close to "no regrets" as it is ever possible to be in this world.
