It seems like the nation is getting swept up in Obama Fever. I wonder if this affection for him is genuine or an attempt to be politically correct. The more I hear him speak, I find something else to like about him. What do...

Journeytaker I love coffee! I only drink 2 cups per day, but I have to have them! I don't eat sugar, so I always put cream and a bit of Stevia in my coffee. Now I hate instant coffee!! I must have brewed coffee. I prefer to grind my beans myself too. I like Boca Java...

Journeytaker I like plain coffee, but I prefer my coffee with cream and sugar free sweetener. I make my own specialty drinks at home when I want one. Starbucks is expensive, and they don't do it like I want.

Have you noticed that you cannot buy anything that is not from China? It is not just Big Lots, Ollie's Gab's and other discount store. It is at places like Kohl's, etc. All kinds of items are involved from clothing, to housewares,...

Journeytaker See, people don't understand WHY it is cheaper. It is cheaper because they don't pay these people making these items a living wage!!! They can give them pennies a day and still get the same product. China does not care about human rights either so how could we...

Journeytaker I actually enjoy both. There are times that only a pen and a nice notebook will do for my creativity. Other times I use the computer. I eventually put many things I write on paper on my computer to use later as inspiration for blogs.

I went to a private school when I was a kid growing up and I think private schools are as bad as public schools, what do you think?

private schools

Journeytaker That depends on the private school. My children go to private school, and it is a wonderful environment. It is small so there is a lot of one on one for each student because of the 10 to one student to teacher ratio. It is a Christian private school that...

Journeytaker I understand why you quit writing, but I am so glad you are doing it again! Your story is your's and your's alone. Don't let anyone stop you again! Hiding your journal is a necessary evil at times and I do hide mine as well. I view my life as a journey, and it...

Journeytaker You know I still do both. There is just something so soothing about writing in a beautifully bound book and feeling the actual pen to the paper for me. I keep mine put away so no one reads it. It is very personal for me, and I say things in there I would never...
