Get This...

Get this, Donald Trump says that the world has too much oil and that the oil producing countries are deliberately making the price high. The oil producing countries are deliberately causing a recession. This goes along with something that I read some time back in an Israeli newspaper.
They said that the Middle Eastern Countries were trying to ruin our economy on purpose. You know, I do believe both of these reports.

This high gas is just not reasonable and the way the congress is suppressing help for the consumer is not reasonable either.

Just my thoughts...
Higher Prices Are Coming...

Grab a cup of good hot coffee and let's talk...

It looks like higher prices are coming to our retail stores. High fuel prices are killing our economy and this democratically controlled congress is not willing to let us drill here, drill now, and pay less. They are deliberately trying to put us into recession and keep us beholding to foreign oil. That is wrong!

I don't know congressional reasoning, but it looks like they think that they know it all. They feel more sympathy for some bird, tree or plant in America than the families that live here. Worse, maybe just keeping their control of peoples lives. Animals have a way of adjusting to the nature around them. People have to live, work and play with the resources they have. I believe, most Americans are economical and care about the environment and preserving nature. They do it naturally because they like to live a safe, healthy lifestyle. Extremest cause problems for our people because they are self serving people. When Americans are denied a fair price for the gas and fuel they need to run their businesses and families, and when those that represent them will not let them do what makes common sense. It is time to get rid of those in Congress who are not for America, it's people and using it's own resources first. We need to drill here, drill now, and pay less. It just makes sense.

We are on the brink of new technology that will help give us options in the future. But now is now and we need cheap gas now. China has cheap gas and they are buying SUV's and large vehicles because they like them. We have the oil, we have the need for cheaper gas and we have the need for bigger vehicles. I care about my safety, so I won't be downsizing any time soon , in fact, my vehicle will be worn out by the time that I get rid of it. Unless, there is an American auto maker that will give us good high mileage options at a very reasonable price and a decent size to go with it.

Higher fuel prices is what is killing our economy. Congress knows this. My question is, "Why does this democratically controlled congress want us to pay higher fuel prices which causes higher food prices and higher retail prices? Just don't tell me it is for the environment because I don't believe it. What is their real reason? " Now that is something to seriously think about...
A New Search Engine...

Today, I read about a new search engine that has been started, that is called, Cuil. It is suppose to have the largest web-page index. It also searches for and ranks pages on their relevance and content.

I'd say they are worth giving a good try. Personally, I like to compare search engines all the time. Some of the search engines that I use are Dogpile, Altavista, Google and yahoo.

Up to now, Dogpile is the one that I use most because it uses combined search engines. But, I will Cuil a good try.

Grab A Cup of Coffee & Lets Talk...


I really don't really want to discuss politics, but grab a cup of coffee and lets talk about something that concerns us all. We the citizens of America who deserve the best. We work hard, pay our taxes and try to live like good citizens in the greatest country on earth.

We have a Democratic controlled congress with the lowest rating in American History that just plain flatly refuses to discuss and vote on letting us Drill here, Drill, now and Pay less for our gas. As Kay Baley Hutchison, R-Texas puts it in today's World Net Daily article, the Democrats that control congress are not permitting debate. This article explains a lot of why they don't want lower gas prices. Check the article, "Why Democrats Don't Want Lower Gas Prices."

We need lower gas prices for our economy, for our lives. It doesn't matter if we are the poorest or the richest citizen in American, we need lower gas prices. The sad part is, we have the resources, in fact, we have an abundant amount of resources. It isn't right that such a few people have so much power to effect our daily lives in this detrimental way.

For sure, the Democrats have shown that they are unfit to run this country. They are too power hungry, they haven't accomplished anything benificial and that is not good for the citizens of any country. It is something to take heed to in this upcoming election for president as well as the congress.
Reusable Shopping Bags

One of the greatest products on the market today are the reusable shopping bags. I just love mine! They cut down on the accumulation of plastic and paper bags. Not only do you feel like you are helping the environment & the economy, you are being trendy at the same time.

The best way to use the bags is to empty them and then put them in your automobile. They will be there when you need them. It is a good idea to have enough bags on hand to do the job.

After you buy a bag, fill it with your normal grocery purchase to get a general idea of how much your bag will hold and estimate how many you will need. They are really nice when it comes to taking in your purchases also, because the handles are a lot stronger than the plastic bag handles.

Many stores are selling them now. I purchased mine from Wal Mart for $1. I liked the black color because they don't show dirt as easy as the lighter colors that are available at other stores, and I wouldn't have to wash them as often. You can usually find them near the cash registers or as you enter the stores. They are becoming quite common.
Living On Less & Liking It More...


Sometimes we find it hard to live on less. It is even harder to live on less and like it more. But, we can do it by living on good Christian principles, taking care of the things that we have and living simply.

When we have the right perspective, life is simple. God first, family second and then friends. Our homes, the things we purchase and the things that we do will revolve around what is necessary to have happy, healthy relationships.

Money & things do not bring happiness. But, money and things are necessities in life. They are needed to take care of our families and sustain our way of life. Each individual and family has to make the decision, themselves, as to what they need.

Happiness is a thing of the heart. Many very poor families are happy. They love each other and they work & play together well. They have the bare necessities of life, but their love is the glue that keeps it all together.

Today's fad is green and simple. It is a fad and it will probably last for a time, but then the pendulum will swing back. But, if you take notice, those that call for green and simple, themselves, live far from green and far from simple. They talk the talk, but do not walk the walk. Whereas, lots of people have lived simple and conserved their whole lives. They have found that the simple things in life do meet their needs and that they can live on less and like it more. These people are not bogged down with extra upkeep and responsibility. It is a matter of choice.
At Least, We Know Where They Stand ...

I was reading an article on National Review Online about Tony Snow and how he lived what he talked. He was a happy and confident man that put faith, family and friends first. I always liked Tony Snow because he did walk the walk and did not say one thing and actually believe and do another.

I guess that is why I like George Bush. You know where he stands. You may not always agree with him, but when he says it, you'd better believe it because he is a man of his word. Someday, I think history will prove that George Bush was a great president. He was handed a disaster almost the minute that he took office. Now, because of his actions, the world knows he doesn't like our country being attacked and he will do what he needs to do to keep us safe. He has been successful.
Well, while I'm at it, I like Rush Limbaugh. I'm glad that he got another 8 yr. contract with lots of cash. He deserves it because he has done what not very many talk radio people can do. He has 20 million listeners and they are not all conservative, but they feel like they need to know what he has to say because he, too, means it. For sure, the regular media has sold out and heavily lean towards the Democratic party. Rush will tell it like it is, no matter what party you belong to. People just want to hear the truth and be educated and informed. Of course, he is a news commentator and he just gives his opinion of what the news has each day, but whether you like him or not his opinion matters. All I can say is yeah, go Rush!

Well, this morning, I got a little political. My final admonishment, don't believe what the politician's, noted people or the media has to say, until you've check them out. Check out how they've voted in the past, their lifestyle, their causes and whether or not they say something of value and stand behind it all of the time. You have to demand the truth to get the truth!

Mini Vacations


Have you had your summer vacation? With these high gas prices, try taking a mini vacation not so far from home. It gives you a chance to get away a few days and the saving that you make on gas can be used for an activity or an extra night at a motel.


It is the getting away from it all, a relief from work and stress. You will feel just as refreshed as you would have it you spent lots of money on a long trip across the country. Also, if you are conservative in your spending, you can save some money and take that longer trip that you are longing for in a year or two.

Scrapbooking Your Life

Have you ever thought of scrapbooking your life? It can be done in just two to three pages.


Past, present and even future plans can be scrapped. The following pictures are digital scrapbooked pages of my past and present life. The past picture pages contains both sets of grandparents, my parents, my baby picture and high school picture and my husbands high school picture. The present page contains my picture surrounded by my family pictures of my children, husband and parents. This is a fun project! It is also great for special events.

Of course, today is my birthday so this project that I did about 5 yrs. ago came to mind.
If My People will humble themselves and pray...

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
God Bless America


God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.
