Thursday Thirteen #4

I would like to say Happy New Year to all my fellow bloggers. The new year is upon us
and it gives us a chance to do things a little differently than the year before. The new year will also bring us some surprises and some challenges. Here is a list of some thoughts I have on the new year.

1.Each day is always different from the day before, even just a little.

2.Remember that you cannot change people but you can change how you act towards them or not.

3.You may be single so each day this year can be the day you meet that "special" person.

4.This could be the year you become debt free.

5.The promotion you always wanted could come anytime.

6.The vacation you have been waiting for is about to come or you might be planning to take one soon.

7.Treat your parents to dinner at your house or take them out for dinner.

8.Watch a play or some other theatrical event.

9.Read a new book.

10.Have that medical check-up that you have been putting off for one or excuse or another.

11.Take up a hobby,if you don't have one already.

12.Say I love you to people you care about.

13.Live each day as if it were the last but remember you will have to deal with the consequences the next day.

Dick Cheney's Adventure
Having heard the adventure of Dick Cheney's hunting trip I feel the Vice President should be charged like any other "regular joe". The ordinary person with an expired hunting sticker "accidently" shooting their hunting comrad would be held accountable and charged with careless use of a firearm and hunting without a lawful permit. In this we have another case of different strokes for different folks. Let us not forget that there was also a convenient delay in reporting the incident in the first place so as to make sure the guy did not die and then it would of been an accidental death. The Bush administration gets another "little problem" out of the way, they think, but the media will make sure it does not go away that easy. Let us see what happens but I am sure it will slowly go away. Way to go George!

Canadian Election
Well Canadian voter fatigue has decided that the Conservatives should run the country for now! The Canadian public wants to be rewarded by the Conservatives for putting them back in office after 13 years in the "political desert". Let us see what happens in the months ahead and hope they last longer than the last government.

The Sphinx and Pyramid

My wife and I would love to go and see Egypt and all it's sites. We both find its ancient history so fascinating.

Violence Continues
The violence continues in Iraq and the United States is in denial because their policy there must continue at all costs. The United States must reconsider their policy there and get their troops out. The oil contracts can still be honored and new ones can be negotiated once a new regime is implemented by the people of Iraq. Religion is a big part of the people's lives there and the United States still fails to understand this fundamental principle. The United States military presence there will prevent true democracy from taking hold and continue to feed the violence in Iraq.

Iraq
The time has come for the United Nations to get involved in the Iraq situation and get the member nations to pull out their troops. The Iraqi people will decide how they want to govern their nation and not how other nations want to govern them. This is the essence of democracy.

This is the Secretary Writing...

I have made a major boo-boo with my hubby's blogpage. Trying to be helpful proved to be the opposite. I was trying to make the site "cooler" & putting all the widgets & features, and ended up messing the whole page. Something must have been altered in the html codes =P. So here I am, trying to set it up again, starting all over again-from the template to the opening salvo.. Hello blogworld!
