     A lot of people make and eventually break new years resolutions.  I have never really made any resolutions.  As I get older I find myself saying a prayer about life, wanting my family and friends healthy.  Listen to God to keep guiding me on the right path in life and work to be a better person.        I turn 40 this Jan and in just less than a week.  Birthdays were never a HUGE event for me.  They are typically another day.  Mom always had a cake for me and some small gift.  The thing was, we did the same for everyone in our immediate family.  Usually went to dinner, had cake and a small gift. For all members of my family.         While the cold weather of winter has settled into the area, I still have a feeling of some "spring cleaning".  I told my dad I wanted to go through closets, all the kitchen cabinets and drawers and get rid of what we don't need or use.   T...

     We have had some ups and downs in our weather lately.  Cold to warm and back to cool.  I am sure it's the fault of global warming and methane produced from cattle.  Below are some items that have come up in the news and around the world over the last month or so.   My thoughts and ideas on those events. Jonathan Gruber - Should be a HUGE RED FLAG FOR ALL AMERICANS!!!  This guy sat in the oval office and helped the government perpetrate a lie to the American people.   This is in a long line of deceptions put forth by the government.  (if you do not know who he is/was look him up.) At no point in our history did the burning down or destroying businesses benefit our country.  It only caused more heart ache and pain.   I was not in the grand jury rooms with either the Ferguson case or the NY case.  What I do know is that the facts that came out about Ferguson show the cop was attached. Shows that BIG GUY was at leas...

     Here are some of my random thoughts for the week.  Please enjoy. Food for Thought: I still like food battered and deep fried.  Food is about portion control first, and what you put into your mouth second. Make your plate colorful and then go outside and walk around the yard and do something.  It's good for your digestion.   I am not about all the Gluten Free stuff.  It might help some people, seems like another addition to a long list of fads. There is a long list of those we will go over in a future blog. :-)   Meat - Beef, Chicken, Fish & Pork are important parts of a balanced diet.  Beef DOES NOT Cause cancer and more people need to really educate themselves and not trust certain sites.  Oddly enough, Colleges like Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and even Oklahoma State do real studies about these affects and show real results.  Protein is good for you! I work during the day. So if I get a game request on a "S...

     Below are a few items that I would like to make you aware of in case you did not know.  These are my opinions.  If you agree great. If you disagree, you are free to leave your comments.  Otherwise be for warned. Hash Tags seem to be a fun way to communicate. I do use them at times.  However if are always using them in over 50% of your conversations, you are not have great conversations.  Which is sad, we all need to engage in intellectual conversation.  It helps broaden our minds.   There is no war on women in the U.S.  It is all political.  Sandra Fluke is an idiot who wanted to be famous and now she is because of a mad up scandal.   I am not saying you don't have a choice.  What I am saying is that I do not have to pay for EVERY PIECE of birth control the medical community ever created.  You can handle having only 16 to choose from in life.   There is a war going on in this country and in oth...

     Equality is a word that has been used heavily in the media and in D.C.  People are screaming for equality in rights, work, and for their health.  This is a touchy subject for some, for me I have a different train of thought.       People should not be discriminated against for the color of their skin, their beliefs or even sexual orientation.  I also do not think that people should be targeted for their beliefs or used as examples.  One of the greatest wrongs we do is to judge others.      Governments and people spend a lot of time telling people what they should and should be doing in this world and country.  Rules are a necessity in a civilized society.  The problem is using those rules to force people to think a certain way.  This is a fine line in government and the way our country is ran.      The basics are this, do right by your fellow man and he should do right by you. ...

     Ever since I was a kid, I love to read the funnies in the Sunday paper.  My mother is the one that got me started doing it when I was young.  She always would flip to the funnies in the daily paper too and read those and always find something to get a chuckle about on a daily basis.        When I sat down to have breakfast with dad this morning the funny paper was sitting at my spot.  I started going through it and found a chuckle in there on a couple of pages.  It reminded me how important it is to laugh.  Laughing has always been known to do a person good.  It releases chemicals in our body that help us feel good and do better throughout the day.        Today it did something else for me. It gave me back some perspective that I tend to lose.  When I go to work at my current job, we do not handle life or death matters.  We are a manufacturer of trailers.  If a trailer does no...

     I am not always the most informed person. I make mistakes and speak out of turn.  This is something that I do not do on purpose.  It is important to me to always be polite and know my place when speaking to people.   While scrolling through my news feed I am always seeing statements and comments that really make me take a second look.        As adults I find it shocking that some people will continually do whatever they want to put others down.  I am not talking about politics, that is always going to be a bad situation.  What I am talking about is putting down each other, kids, neighbors or even loved ones.      There are plenty of times in our lives when we come across negativity, inappropriate behavior and people doing wrong.  There are times when it is us that is involved in the whole mess.  What I would hope is that people realize is that being hateful to others for no real reason, is not a ...

     There has been a lot going on in the news and world.  I have had a hard time focusing on a topic that I wanted to write about.  There have been some items come across my news feeds that makes me think, WHAT???!!!!  Let me get this straight.  SO here it goes and enjoy. So let me get this straight... In a 2012 POTUS debate, Ann Romney wore a $1,690 Oscar de la Renta dress and was criticized by the left media.  While First Lady Michelle Obama wore a dress that cost twice as much and nothing was said.  They were both paid for by the fruits of hard work, Romney's by theirs, Obama's by ours. (Nothing is still mentioned when the First Lady wears very expensive gowns, it's okay I guess.) The Democrats want everyone to believe that you do not need to work as much, spend more time with your family and follow your dreams.  That is fine except someone has to PAY FOR IT ALL.  There is nothing free in this world.  The country and...

     It has been a while since I have had a post.  I always want to write about topics that mean something to me or I feel passionate about.  The title of this article is pointed, it covers a lot of areas though so I hope you enjoy.       You might be asking yourself, why is it time to grow up? This is not talking to people who are young at heart, or those that have a youthful personality.  People who want to continually enjoy life, are most of the time the people that have their house in order.        The world we live in is a 24/7 environment.  We are accustom to getting information, products, answers and even make contact with people at any time.  Points of view from people are more prevalent in the world then at any time in the past.  Everyone knows what everyone is thinking all the time.  (Well those that are on social media.)         Better to remain silent and be t...
