Friends Without Borders

Thought I’d like to share this web-site with you, today.   http://www.karmatube.org:80/        I subscribe to the email newsletter and was interested in the lead story/video which then linked to the Friends Without Borders site, providing a little more information.  Terrific idea and a concept with which I’m not unfamiliar.
I was part of a career-military family for over […]

Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads, Daddies, Pops, Grandpas. Papas;  to the Step-Dads, uncles, brothers, friends who step up for the kids when “Dad” isn’t there…the ones who take over when Dad decided to move on and leave the kids and wife behind;  for the Dads serving in the military away from home today..his […]

USS LIBERTY…8th. June, 1967

Forty-one years and counting……….June, 1967. I had been in this country four and a half months, was standing talking to my then-husband’s young second cousin as she did the breakfast dishes, my 11mos. old daughter in my arms. The radio had been on for a while…a music station…when a news flash broke in. I remember […]

FLDS: We All Better Be Ashamed

That State OR Federal Govt. can do this to these mothers and children…children especially…is a disgrace.  Doesn’t matter what any of us think or believe about this sect, I thought everyone was innocent until proven guilty in this country?  And if that be so, why are those children under threat of being dispersed to homes, families of whom […]

LSD Rears It’s Ugly Head

That would be Lower, Slower, Delaware and, more and more, appearing the nomenclature is deserved with the new first leg of a constituitional amendment prohibiting recognition of same-sex marriage, civil union, domestic partnerships or ’similar legal relationships’ between people of same gender.  When does Delaware get to advance to the 21st. century?
First, I AM in […]

Bethany Beach Logic….???? ‘Struth!

“Town officials cite several reasons for the ban. Health concerns topped the list, with some officials adding that by clearing the air, more families will fill the sand…” as reported on the WGMD website following the council meeting which decided to ban smoking on beach and boardwalk. 
Excuse me?  Clearing the air…out in the open complete […]

Rehoboth Beach Possibility

Here we go again…Bethany Beach has banned smoking on the beach and now RB is pondering doing likewise.  You know, without intending to offend (and I’m not really sure why I worry about that since there are too many who don’t care about offending me and my ilk)…what a crock!  Restuarants, bars, buildings both public […]

Maryland Dogfighting Law

( critters and society )

I hope it passes but it’s true…not stringent enough.  How about the fine AND prison time for attendees?  Surely if attendances fell off it would discourage those idiots who look to earn ill-gotten gains from holding these fights (whose punishment certainly is far from sufficient)..which could ease off the raising poor animals in such a manner […]

Salisbury Disabled Parking

I was in Salisbury yesterday and when the business I was conducting was over, stopped by the Wal-Mart on Rte. 13, across from Target, PetSmart et al.  Not doing much shopping there…being a Delaware resident with the opportunity to shop with no sales tax…I was pleasantly surprised to see specific ‘handicapped’ parking for vans.  These are few […]

Phone Phine For Phootballer

Catching up on news from Scotland, just read that a football player was fined for using his cell phone while driving.  This became an offence in the UK a year or two ago though this is the first I’ve read of anyone getting a citation although, admittedly, I don’t keep up with the news on a daily basis.
Personally, […]
