Sometimes you marvel at the stupidity of people. The ones who run a red light, then flip YOU the bird because you almost hit them. The ones who cannot understand why they have to at least get a GED before they homeschool their children. And the ones who think that what they were taught in history class in school is the truth! Doesn't anyone read real history books anymore? Does no one even think about the fact that history is written by the "winner" of any conflict? I love the fact that I when I was talking about the "Puritans" hanging Quakers, I was informed of the fact that "That didn't happen." Seemingly, the colonial court records are all wrong, because the schoolbooks state that the puritans came over so America could have religious freedom for all. Hello...they came so that THEY could have that freedom, not so anyone else could! I just want to say...go read a book!

Week off

Hey Y'all
I have next week off!!!!! I am very happy about that, although I haven't any real plans. I may spend the last part of the week in WV, visiting family. I haven't been down for a while. I would like to do some research (genealogy) down there, but will probably need more than a couple of days for that. I may just stay at home and do as little as possible. I only hope that the week goes very slowly.

Keeping up or at least not so far behind

Hey y'all, I have surely started to keep up with the times...I am now on facebook. My son-in-law talked me into it, and truth is, I am having a good time with it. I have re-connected with a couple of ex-school mates, a couple of cousins, etc. Not too bad for someone who is usually pretty old fashioned! (I don't even have cable TV! I use rabbit ears!)
http://www.facebook.com/home.php? is my page at facebook.
