    Disturbing Story out of Penn State

    He was on Mike and Mike this week and he really does seem like a nice guy who wants to help the players adjust to what has happened and give them opportunity to play football and get a great education. I do still have sympathy for him and for the players who have become targets for people...

    Work vent- Have you ever felt discriminated against due to your age/gender?

    This is what happened to me, I had to literally start from the bottom to begin a new career because I was over 40 when I decided to do it. It's an uphill battle to get people to look at you as anything other than someone who is marking time until retirement. People think that you're set in...

    Interesting blog post from an American Mom in Canada re: universal health care

    They offer it, but depending on his rate of pay and the hours he worked it may have been too expensive. If you're only making $7.25 an hour and getting 32 hrs a week (that's full time for the Walmarts in my area) and your health insurance contribution is $30 a week that can really bite into...

    USA vs FRANCE at noon today

    They're not though-they are a strong team in Europe and this is a good beginning for the US to have a strong opponent.

    Alzheimer's and Medical Proxy

    I could have written this one myself. Dad passed a month ago today from Parkinson's Dementia. Mom still feels guilty that he spent his last 3 months in a nursing home, but she had NO choice. My gentle father, who would save a spider rather than kill it, threatened her with a belt, a...

    Work vent- Have you ever felt discriminated against due to your age/gender?

    Yes..but because of being too old, not too young. Older people usually make more money and if you have a higher percentage of older folks than younger folks, your company's health care costs are higher.

    Hiding most of my Facebook friends until February or March

    It feels like it never really stops anymore. I started getting forwarded emails before the current president even took the oath! I started replying with the snopes.com or the Factcheck.org links, and that stopped the forwarded emails. I'm a sports fan, and I compare a lot of these people...

    What would you do if a motivational speaker told you to walk across hot coals?

    Yep, and then I'm walking away laughing.

    I thought I'd share this as I live in Aurora.

    I have a concealed carry permit, and I own a gun. I also believe that someone else having a gun in that theatre would not have helped the situation, and might have even caused more deaths or injuries. It would have taken the skills of a military sniper to be able to get off an accurate...

    Disturbing Story out of Penn State

    Why would someone who had nothing to do with the events and had no knowledge of them have to do any of that? That person is just living their life and interacting with the segment of the school that they did before-which likely has nothing to do with football or the people involved. A student...

    Disturbing Story out of Penn State

    That's exactly what I did. I stayed away from the Church for 5 years, until I realized that I was denying myself something that had NOTHING to do with the choices made by evil men to keep their power. Yes, it was evil-but my attendance had nothing whatsoever to do with the evil those men did...

    Do you like to snack on cereal?

    Life Cereal...the original one. I have to be really careful or I'll snack my way through the whole box.

    Disturbing Story out of Penn State

    For the players, that's pretty true and probably for the many of the fans who were in attendance. However, removing the wins takes away the thing that Paterno let little boys be abused in order to protect. The legacy of being the program and the coach with the most wins. Instead of sports...

    Disturbing Story out of Penn State

    Mike Greenberg just read from the ruling that the $60 million will go to child abuse prevention programs-programs run OUTSIDE of the school. When you really look at what they did here, it is actually worse than a one year ban. This will do damage to the football program at that school for...

    Disturbing Story out of Penn State

    Nothing would have been enough. There is not enough money, there is not enough punishment that can fit this crime. It's exactly what the NCAA president said. The NCAA did something unprecedented and they took the thing that made Paterno who he was, the thing he was most proud of and fought...
