What is one of your blessings?

In 1972...

Before she left for Guatemala, Lady Linda posted a picture of herself in 1972. She asked what we were doing in 1972. So here goes...

I was a junior in high school in 1972. I attended Gladstone High School in Azusa, CA for the beginning of the School year, Tulare Union for a part of the time and then the rest of the year at Hanford High school. I worked at my mother's Winchell's donut shop in Hanford, CA. Making donuts and selling them !! Back then donuts were a $1.35 a dozen, and I made $1.35 an hour. I actually miss those days, I like hard physical work much better than sitting behind a desk!!

The rest of the year I was a Senior in the class of 1973, I was 11 lbs. overweight back then and would have been in the Navy as a journalist, after graduation, if I hadn't needed to lose the weight!! While I was working on losing the weight my mother talked me out of joining?? Where would I be now? hmmm They were going to put me through school and send me around the world, again I say hmmm?

This is my only picture from High School, shortly after this was taken I developed my aversion to my picture being taken. I can't stand to look at my own pictures !! So here is all I was doing in 1972, school and working... no extra curricular activities worth mentioning !!

Have you ever? Oops....

Have you ever put off doing something because you didn't want to face it? Until you almost forgot about it? Then you say oops !!! Well I am getting good at this and need to take the bull by the horns !!! Good Heavens woman you're... (you thought I was going to tell my age, huh?) ain't happenin' !!! lol

Courage was my word...

If all roads looked like this one I wouldn't hesitate to take it !!!

Tears...

"Tears are words the heart can't express".

It makes you think...

This is another post I stole from a friend !!! I think this is what is needed here in America, we need to teach our children to be self reliant and the Government does not owe you a living !!!!

"Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with, is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. So here is my Question.

Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their rump --doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

I guess we could title that program, 'Urine or You're Out'. Something has to change in this country -- and soon!!!!!!!
