    There are somethings that never change, except change itself as I recall some conservative ideals that were well part of the early 1960's of my childhood. I was born to a single Italian  mother, who was quite fair and complex red in most of my early memories of her, upon… Read full post »

      Have you ever woken up and wondered how certain people have an ability, ambition, situation that you know nothing about but are somehow connected? I was watching CNN early this morning, being with the impending storm coming I know there is a lot of information. Yes, I l… Read full post »

     Yesterday I was feeling overwhelmed by so many things that have gone in this past week, I just needed rest time on the couch. I stood with my face down towards the smell of leather, and the ever so slight scent of dog urine as I have written before I… Read full post »

      Do we ever find a quiet moment to think anymore? I was going out for an after dinner walk last night, I was almost going to turn around to get my cell phone. I thought about and decided to keep walking, and just take in the soft night air, thinking… Read full post »

      There are many types of people that can make many narsistic comments that are usually lame. In the case of Ravi it would be his actions that would allow me to not see past his own ignorance. He wouldn't get the sense of embarrasment, but then from Tyler Clementi's point… Read full post »

          Okay, I must admit I have kind of had it with every extradinary attempt at normalizing the housewife argument. I don't think it will ever be okay to just be a housewife, that is the plain side of it. The mediocre side says different, the m… Read full post »

              I am sure that this will not be the first argument in regard to Ann Mittney's "I stood at home and raised five children" comment. I am sure that social psychologist are able to make some pretty heady arguments on the behal… Read full post »

      What was it about the English heart throb that would make most any girl anxious and want to pant when she saw Davy Jones? His vibrant eyes would be my first guess, he had such a sense of anticipation and was born with quite an ability to look into the… Read full post »

     There are too many tell tale signs that continue to keep pointing the finger at how bad we have become at being American. Being American these days is like saying, "I accept anything, and everything." It seems that if you walk into a doctors office, and over charges it's not… Read full post »

       (This the third attempt to write this memorial this morning) I don't know why Open Salon is having these technological issues, but I wish they would be reparied. I had to sign in again was the main reason my previous post did not post.

         There seems to be pervasive belief that social work is a great field to enter, despite the many stories that a social worker can encounter. There are still the "other" ones that are truly not what a family needs. But that is all beyond the sense of "wh… Read full post »

     It is still a mediocre world out there as long as people have to sludge through what is a meeting of the mind and survival. In the corporporate world where most things corporations produce are spun into gold and resold for profit the picture works. But for those that are… Read full post »

     I for most of my life would consider myself a deeply liberal person, I belive each person has his or hers own right to choose what he or she belives to be inherently  correct for his or her own person. I feel this should be for most things that imply… Read full post »

     Accesorizing it all togehter is like getting a sixty piece orchestra together to play a concert that a famous conductor would be proud of.

         What is about being young and helpless that files into the lives of everday women? It is a site for sore eyes, and individuals affected by the sense of a woman that is angry is practically scorned for life. I should know, my mother was angry, not that… Read full post »

when life gives you lemons,  is one of the favorite epithates that serves to remind people all is not lost just different. People ponder different sceaniros with different people, why is it so easy to unwind at a bar or smoke a Jay with certain people. Like one of my childhood… Read full post »
