Every once in a while I come across a blog post and wish that I had thought of that subject!Obviously, we have to breathe to stay alive, but there is more to breathing than just the "automatic" process.Today, I found a post on a blog called Lazy Bear Blogs, but I quickly determined that I could not have written a post on breathing that made this much sense!So I am simply going to mention the post and link to it so you can visit for yourself.The post was captioned "Is there a ri...

Truman proclaimed the first Armed Forces Day to be observed on May 20, 1950.What a great way to start off the decade. I believe that the official proclamation says it all.

I have to admit to really admiring the contestants on The Biggest Loser. These people really put it all out there for the World to see. Big butts, big guts, big boobs, triple chins, crying and tears.

She lost 54.47 percent of her body weigh... Read Full Story

What a great bargain!I discovered Rhonda Fleming and my love for redheads dates from that young age. Wow.I loved the singing of Doris Day. I don't even remember any other singers from ...

In light of all the other "special" days on the calendar, many of which were fabricated by the greeting card printers, I still enjoy Mother's Day the most.I am fortunate to have an 81-year-old Mother who is vibrant, witty, determined, independent and sassy. She wrote and published her first novel at age 75. What an inspiration to those of us who have long-aspired to be writers of novels and such!My Mother's Day greeting to my Mom is usually flowers in a vase or basket, deli... Read Full Story
