mysticmaggie The current rate of expenditure by the government is to spend $10.75 for every $7 in taxes. Unless and until they stop spending and cut entitlements (we spend more on entitlements than all other expenses combined)we are headed for the demise of this...

mysticmaggie Flowerchilde, when any entity wants to take over something that should not be taken over, they immediately begin denigrating its worth. This is what is happening in our government today. If only there were people who remembered Hitler's beginning. He did...

As an average, over all the times I've been looking at the politics page here on mylot, I've been seeing far more pieces talking down Obama, and talking up Romney. I was really surprised, because it's been extremely easy for me to...

mysticmaggie The main ones who don't think Obama has done well by our soldiers are our soldiers. He gave his last speech to the Marines and at the end there was no clapping, no hurrah, just silence. That isn't the first time that's happened. Most of them do not care for...

Last weekend my Scottish terrier collapsed and had to be put to sleep. Although he had a physical a little over a month ago, no one found the cancer growing in his spleen. A couple of weeks prior to his death he suddenly didn't...

mysticmaggie I, too, first thought Alzheimer's in dogs when he first began his behavior. That should be the first clue for anyone that their dog is in trouble.

I hear so many people complaining about every tiny infraction in their lives, but seldom hear them speak up when all goes well. I went to McDonald's the other day. The lady taking the order was cheerful, upbeat and made me feel...

mysticmaggie As an American my folks always taught me to say please, thank you, and to call my elders ma'am or sir. That doesn't seem to be the way of today. I cringe when a child calls an adult by their first name. Many adults think it makes them seem younger; I see it...

mysticmaggie Perhaps some people seldom have a thank you given to them. Maybe they were never taught good manners. Maybe they are so wrapped up in themselves, they do not see how NOT saying thank you might ruin a day while saying it could make the day brighter for them as...

mysticmaggie If we have the chance to commend a worker to his/her manager, it may be the difference between that person or another getting an increase or moving up the corporate ladder.

mysticmaggie Habits begin with a first time. When it comes to thank yous, let them flow like honey from our lips to sweeten the day of the recipient.

mysticmaggie These little things are what makes room for bigger kindnesses and makes our world sweeter. All it takes is each person taking a few seconds to say thank you.

mysticmaggie I, too, thank God for all the things he has done for us. When my husband recently passed away, I thanked God that he drifted to sleep and into death's arms instead of lingering in pain. I also thank people because we need kindness in this world and I...

mysticmaggie Sometimes when a pet must be put down I wonder if the pain is worth it. Then I look into the eyes of another dog that desperately needs a home and I know it is.

mysticmaggie In my humble opinion we don't really know people any more. Our friends are words on a page and avatars. How easy is it to be nasty in person? How easy is it to be nasty when you don't have to see the person's face? Think of all the people bullying others...

mysticmaggie From his first symptoms (noticeable by us) until his death was about three hours. He will be buried with his master and if there are dogs in heaven they are together right now playing with tennis balls.

mysticmaggie Thank you, Loverbear, for your kind words and your sermon. It is needed by all of us at one time or another. Your Doxie sounds like a champ. Since moving to Florida, we lost our cat. It ran away one night and for the first time would not come back when I...

mysticmaggie Complaining seems to be second nature to most of us. I enjoy seeing the smiles when someone is complimented for a job sell done. Having worked in retail before I know it can be daunting to have a crabby or ungrateful customer. Keeping our happy professional...
