| MOTIVATION MONDAYS! I'm not much into sports. (Except when it comes to my Dallas Cowboys!) Obviously, I think gender equality is important. But I think some issues have gotten out of hand. (Like the Great Bathroom Debate.) In my book, boys are boys and girls are girls. We are all equal in the eyes of God and should be treated like equals. I mean, when it comes down to it- just do the right thing. It shouldn't be that hard to understand. |
| My thoughts on "The Aussie mayor who wants America to get tough on guns". Gun control is a serious issue that has many people up in arms.  I don't wish to argue, but here's how I see it.I grew up with a healthy respect for firearms. We were taught how to properly and safely use, maintain, and store guns. My children are raised the same way. We hunt and participate in shooting competitions on a pretty regular basis. I keep several different types of guns in my home. I've had a CHL since I turned 21. Although Texas allows open carry, I prefer to keep mine concealed. Some think it's silly, but I believe in being prepared. Here's an example- My ex-husband was an OTR truck driver. I was often home alone with two small children. We lived in a small town that didn't have a police force. If we needed help, we called the County Sheriff's Department. The response time for my address was 25-45 minutes. I really don't understand why people have a problem with NRA. Yes we advocate for gun rights, but through teaching safety and competency. I'm pretty sure the crazies that shoot up Walmart aren't NRA members. |

but seems to be okay today. I worry about my poor circulation, scrub my toes with a soft bristle brush, watch discoloration come and go. I probably need new arteries or veins but hey... "Heathcare" USA (enough said?). I may be better off trying something here in Thailand. But still... wish I lived in a country that had adequate patient based healthcare. Thailand and Taiwan mostly do, but I can't access it. First world systems like Europe, Canada and Australia do, but again, I can't access it.
