random sites for this week
My kids taught me that word "random". And I plan on using it liberally in this post, smile.
A new look at Google Earth. Now, a one stop place to eliminate unwanted catalogs from your snail mailbox and save a few trees.
One of the most amazing organizations of our time spotlighting an incredible inventor.
Here's a place to share your inner most secrets at PostSecret blog. The concept is to send in a decorated postcard with a secret that has never been uttered to another human being. Some hot babes to get you going - just kidding - they are a pyrotechnic theater troupe.
Here's a place where you can go to get smarter and donate free rice - for FREE! A place to go for great music is righteous babes records.
And it's finally appeared on the internet, a place to go to get free therapy - hey, I'm totally serious here. Did you know that John Mayer has his own blog and takes pictures of the food he eats every day?
Maybe we need to send this to baby bush for his review - but we gotta tell him he can't make any changes to it. People who use business to make positive changes in our world.
Well, my friends - that's all I've got to share with you. Oh wait - here's how to do what you love.

giving away secrets
Hey now, hey now. <-- open this link in another tab
While you listen to my musical interlude (the idea came by way of my friend at the Enigma Cafe) I want to share one of my wow~what~a~cool~site secrets with you-all.
The Ideal Bite has been sending me environmental sites and actions for some time now. You can sign up to get you own delivered to your preferred email address. Here are a few of the sites that have come through to my email from them in the last week: The Greenloop, Coats for Cubs, BioBags, EcoSafe, and Greenline Paper.
As you can see, saving the environment is very important for me and I think it has become much more since I've become a Nana. Oh yea ~ news alert ~ my third grandchild was born 11/14 and I was blessed enough to greet him into this world. Now you know why I've been a bit late with this weeks blog post ~ smile.
Back to our regularly scheduled program.
I believe that in order to save this species called human we will need to start loving and taking care of our Mother Earth. For if we don't, She will have to take measures to save Herself. The cleansing and purging that She has already started ~ cyclones and fires and hurricanes ~ to some may be called natural disasters but to me they are our Mother's attempts at healing Herself by doing what we would do if we had a parasite on our skin. We would wash, burn, scrub; basically do anything we could to get off the irritant. So, for the sake of my grand babies and their grand babies, I take actions, drive a biodiesel car and lessen my footprint as best I can on our Mother Earth. We need to start living for our future generations or we will not, as a species, have a future on this planet.
So here's some more links/sites that I regularly respond to emails and take actions from: Environmental Action, Institute for the Study of Planet Earth, Sustainable Communities, Sustainable Business, Co-op America, NRDC, and Environmental Defense, Credo Action.
If you-all have any favorite sites or places you go to help out our survival, please let me/us know! Hugs and yes siree, I'm dancing on Friday!!! smile

Now that we are coming into the holiday season ~ ever want to know which charities to gift to? Well, here are some sites that can help you in deciding whom to give that generous donation to Give.org and GuideStar. Also, check out this site to make sure your chosen charity doesn't test on animals CaringConsumer. Another thought while we are on the topic of giving and holidays ~ most charities you donate to will be able to accommodate your gift in the name of another sentient being ~ so donate to your fav charity as a gift to your loved ones this holiday season.
Watching a DVD last evening about the 14th Dali Lama (10 Questions for the Dalai Lama), I was informed that the 'big' search engines bent under pressure from the Chinese government and the only information that the Chinese populous get about Tibet and the Dali Lama are government propaganda. If you are in China and type into their version of Google (for an example) 'Dali Lama' you will only be directed to web sites that slander this great man. So I, for one, plan on emailing them to tell them exactly what I think of their selective release of information(I will let you-all know if I get a response) and now I'm wondering what our government has decided to keep from us. Here are some other search engines sites that are also available; GoodSearch Blackle CatchTomorrow GreenMaven .
And last but not least, a fun web page titled All My Favs!

just a thought i had
this past
weekend
as i attended
my local
alternative energy
expo
it was heartening
to me that
so many people showed
up
a constant stream
of interested
and curious people
just made my day!
so here's what i was
thinking about
american's
are getting fatter
and fatter
and cars
are getting smaller
and smaller
wondering minds
want to
know
how
american's will
be able to fit
into these
smaller cars?

it's been awhile
having a
hard time
this past week
my best friend
died
passed on
i guess
that's the bottom
line
for those
of us that
are
left
behind
he was
my best friend
that person
i could talk
to about anything
who knew full
well how
to push all those
painful buttons
and yet
made me laugh
so hard
i'd pee in my pants
(now that
only happened once)
he's gone
and i'm left
with a gaping
hole
in my heart
and a lot
of tears
i'll be back
when it gets a bit
easier
for me
hugs and peace
my friends
and for those
people
you
love
call them right now
and tell them!!!

so shall we?
sent
this today:
Subject: Interesting fact.
Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in Iraq,
here's a sobering statistic.
There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of
operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,867 deaths.
That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons for
the same period. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot
and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington
YA THINK!!!

2. - Replace one of the “Impeach NOW” tags in the matrix below with your anchor text (Blog name) of choice with your blog’s URL (Don't hesitate to e-mail me if you have questions about this!). Please keep anchor text to a max of 3 words to keep the matrix size manageable.
3. - Encourage and invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.
4.- The above steps will not only add your voice to the chorus for impeachment, but will also increase your Technorati stats as an added bonus.
We, the undersigned bloggers of America, agreeing that dissent is the truest form of patriotism, hereby publicly voice our unanimous discontent with the Bush administration and beseech the Congress of the United States of America to provide redress by immediately initiating impeachment proceedings against George W.

DVD
a DVD that is
War Made Easy
and joined
in a screening
but this whole
DVD thing
got me thinking
about the amount of
money wasted
(my opinion only)
on
the purchase
of DVD seasons
of TV shows
not only do they have
the American
populous
watching new shows
with new seasons
and new cliff hangers
but people also pay,
sometimes
hundreds of dollars,
for 'old' TV shows
just to have them
and maybe one
day watch
them
when they have time
and aren't watching
the new stuff
???
is this
an Alzheimer's
generation
of people
???
you mean
you
can't remember
how that season
of
(pick a tv show)
ended
??
and bottom line for
me
was it really
that
important
to give
your hard earned cash
out to some media executive
so they can go to Maui??
geeze, if it were
me
I'd rather save
all them dollars
and go to Maui myself!!

solutions
i know
i've said on
numerous
occasions
that
people are draining their
brains
watching tv
and it
is
what i think
is
the number one
reason
for apathy
in America
ok
here's a solution
(besides
blowing up
all those
stations)
a bit of history first
at lunch
i sit
by myself
and watch people
and one thing
that zonked me
on the head
today
was
the
lack of touching
of intimacy
between Americans
even people who walked together
were not holding
hands
or even looking at each other
and i got to thinking
our media portrays
sex
all over the place
but nothing about intimacy
we have a generation
or two
of people
growing up
in front
of the boob-tube
that
know nothing
about intimacy
the coming together
as people
the
finding of commonality
touching skin to skin
means sex
in this America
~so the solution?~
to touch
to touch everyone
we meet
and say hi
look in their eyes
smile
and touch their arm
make that connection
talk
laugh
cry
interact
so people
won' t have a
need to go home
and turn on their
tv
for intimacy
peace people

local law enforcement
weekend
i got a notice from
my local law enforcement
asking me to log onto
their web site
and sign up
for
email alerts
humm
now i'm not
normally a
suspicious
person
but the notice
got me thinking
so i re-read it
and three times in bold
it asked me to
go
now
and
sign up!
i asked myself
why?
why the pressure?
why would i need
their services
in email
none the less??
and then it
dawned on me
there is no way
now
to connect
email addresses to
physical addresses
but if we all signed up
for these
much

absolutely
have to have

the powers

now don't be put off

even his own

don't want him

seemed to
have a way

people
what they didn't

oh ~~ oh ~~ oh ~~ oh
this web site
it is hysterical
iron hymen
it is so
my kind of humor
tee hee
i found it yesterday
while surfing
the net
for some answer
or another
don't you
just love the gems
you find
without
even looking
for them?
like that twenty
in that coat
you put away
last winter
or the penny
while walking
down the street?
and that brings
up a thought i had
how come people
think pennies
are not worth
picking
up off the ground?
they would pick up
a paper note
like a dollar
or a five
but it seems
these days
that metal money
is not worth
people's bending down and
retrieving time
have they forgotten
how to add??
cuz 100 of them
pennies makes a dollar
and 4 of them quarters
makes a dollar...
and so on
and so forth
wasn't there
a rumor
about the treasury
doing away
with the metal money?
humm, something
else i can
surf the net
about
have a wondrous day everyone!!

thoughts
for this day
***
for
those of
you that
don't know
there are
abortion
survivors
um, yep
u-huh
seems
that those
pesky
pro-lifers
(can't we cut
to the chase
here
they are
anti-abortion)
i digress
are now re-telling
the stories
of women
who
survived
abortion
in order
to keep women
from
having abortions
um, yep
u-huh
not sure
how you-all
feel about
this
but i'm totally
disgusted
this has
got to be an
all-time
low
(shaking head)
peace to all

fun friday
cars
driving
into work
today
i got to thinking
and
no
not
about the
thousands of
suv's with
one person in them
(well
not this time)
but about
American car
manufacturers
who
in their arrogance
(that's my word for it)
with the
american
consumer
given
rising
gas prices,
the
higher cost
of consumer
goods,
inflated house
prices
(i could
go on here
but i
won't)
well
they
still continue
to make
big
huge
poor
made
low warranty
non-hybrid cars
and these
car factories
are like
one
of the last
biz-ness-es
that haven't
taken
all
(i said 'all' here)
of their jobs
some-where-else
so
if you
were
to buy
a hybrid
Toyota
made in
the US of A
is that considered
an
American made car?

reminder to self
get sick again!
dang-it
i hate
getting sick
anyways
i'm back
and ready to go!
and
i've got
some thoughts
for you
as i
was taking
a drive this past
weekend
i stopped to let
a family cross
the street
and saw
one of the family
members
was young-ish
and had to use
a
walker
so
i then browsed the rest
of the family
members
and had a thought
what if
this child was
the result
of agent orange?
which has
got me
thinking
what our
children are
going
to look at
after Iraq
and
depleted uranium
??

how can?
wondering lately
how can
just one
person
change
the world?
and i'm reminded
of two people
mother theresa
and
gandhi
both of
them
had a
positive
effect
on literally
millions of
people
and there
are more
who follow in their footsteps
or
create their
own peace
every
single
day
now
where
am i going with this?
what i propose
is to stop
watching tv
stop reading
and absorbing
the constant crap
they want us to
fill
our minds
with
and start creating our own joy and peace!
like take
time this
weekend
to step outside
and enjoy
the beautiful
world
which surrounds
us
created and
maintained
by mother nature
close your eyes and
just breath
Peace peace peace!

full moon and lunar eclipse
we had
a momentous
happening
the first
full moon
lunar eclipse
here's
some info:
Every month the Moon travels in her orbit completely around the Earth. The New Moon occurs as the Moon is in exact alignment with the Sun (a conjunction), and Full Moons happen as the Moon and Sun are opposite each other with the Earth in between. An eclipse of the Moon (Lunar Eclipse) can only occur at a Full Moon when the Earth, Sun and Moon are all in alignment and when the Moon is in opposition to the Sun and only if the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth’s shadow. In other words, a Lunar Eclipse is when the Earth gets in the way of the sun’s light shining on a Full Moon and there appears to be a dark shadow moving across the Moon. The easiest way to remember what a Lunar eclipse means is to say ‘the present blots out the past’. The moon is usually associated with the past in astrology and whatever issues you need to clarify just think about them and don’t dwell on the past. Sometimes an eclipse signals the end of a relationship, sometimes the taking of a relationship to the next level and sometimes a change in marital status. (Taken from)

this long stemmed
white and yellow
gladiolus

them
and put them
in this beauteous vase

i can see

them

was i going
with
this??
(i got lost
in remembering how
they smelled)

me
that there
is still great beauty
on this small

saving
when

save money
save the environment
save the children in africa
well
you get
the idea
so,
i was thinking
there i go thinking
again
how come
we are
~ now ~
being told
to spend, spend, spend?
seriously here
we wonder why
we/our government
has a trillion dollar
debt
but why wonder
just look at
the average
consumer
being told
that they
have to buy
the latest and
greatest
60 inch

and they do!
so why should our

reading again
find a really
important
and life-changing
book
i like
to read it over
and over
again
so
i thought
i would share
it with
you-all
today
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life--learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup--they all die. So do we.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned--the biggest word of all--LOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or your government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all--the whole world--had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are-- when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
--Robert Fulghum

was all about

i had some tile
put in my living room

all part of

so i've been thinking
now that i
laid
a good
strong
foundation

have?

or not place in these rooms

happ-ee fri-day!
and here we are
another
workweek
gone by
and what
do we have to
show for it?
well
i'm gonna
tell you-all
a little secret here
i wish
that i could
be doing
something
to better our
small blue planet
i dream of
companies
owned by the people
who work in them,
who's mission
is to
'do no harm'
creative companies
where the bottom line
is not
how cheap to make
how much to sell
but
how best
to make a product
that lasts a long
long time
and
have minimal impact
on our mother earth
and
that 90 percent
of our population
can afford
and use/need
i dream some day
of creating these
companies
helping their birth
and then
watching,
as you watch a toddler take it's first steps,
them grow
and prosper
and then,
like a young adult
no longer needing me,
able to survive
on it's own
looking back
only to smile
and say thanks

um, mad
yesterday
for a short while
i picked up
my grandson
and we went to the dentist
and had the windows down
as it was a nice
day ~~ finally
and the guy
next to us
had a smelly stinky
truck
with exhaust so thick
you could
see
it
and i had
alternative
universe thought
that there were
bubbles surrounding
all the personal vehicles in the world
and
the pollution
coming out
of the exhaust pipe
gets re-circulated
into the bubble
and the people
driving the vehicle
have to
smell it
the whole time
they are out
and about
think this would
make people
use alternative
fuels?

happy monday everyone
the fact that
the icy grip
that had the
desert
has left
and then
i read
you-alls rain
and cold
temps
so today
i decided
to send
a bit of
sunshine
to all those
who want it
which got
me to thinking
how come
they call it
global warming?
looks to me
like record temps
are being broken
on the higher and
lower end of
the scales
they should call it
'unusual climatic weather
changes brought on
by selfish corporations
who's bottom
line
is not the continuation
of the species'

i think
this would
catch more

US crime rates
back in the
saddle again
there's lots
of talk about
the women and men
dying in Iraq
now that got me to
thinking
how many
people are killed
on our american
streets?
so i went to
and looked it up
here's the US crime rates
from 1960 to 2005
notice please
how
as our population grows
so does crime
no surprise
really
when you read
From Warfare to Welfare

how those two words
both end in 'fare'

oh happy happy day
birthday!
so i'm
gonna give
you-all
a present
enjoy:
Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

yep - seven
it was so much fun
i guess i had a lot

that if baby bush

better to

than plan wars
and piss off major world
power leaders
this planet

would be
a far better place
so i think i'll write

that condi
start booking some

(fade to

standing next to tractor
with wheat fields in the distance
and parents standing

holding hands
and looking
admiringly
at their son)
this is all i saw
and didn't hear anything

this was
what if i had lost
my child
to this damn
war and
turned on my TV

no more theories
but i didn't
have any more theories
to share
just facts
that people
have lied
and are
still
lying
and i doubt
that these
particular people
will
ever stop
lying
at least
not while
they are getting
exactly what they
want
so
how
about not
giving them
what they want?

conspiracy therory #1
to my theory
thanks everyone
for your
good wishes
thanks so much
and now on
to this new
conspiracy theory
i was thinking
over the weekend
what if
this whole war
thingy
was
planned
by
the flag people
as every
man or woman
that dies
in combat
gets one
an american
flag that is
see, flag sales
were slacking
a few years back
and so
to boost
up
sales
the flag people
sent lobbyists
to washington
and paid big bucks
for them
to start another
war
hey
if baby bush can come up
with his theories
like
they have weapons
of mass destruction
or they
blew up
the twin
towers
then i can
come up with my
own imaginary
theory
(tongue outta cheeks now)
