For me, the high point came in November when my son married a lovely girl. The lowest points were the days when two of my kitties passed away. Sebastian, who was 16, died in January, and we had to have Quincy, age 14, put to sleep...

sbeauty Good to hear from you again, Missy. Debt seems to be a way of life any more. I wonder what it would be like to have so much money you couldn't spend it all. I'm sure I'll never find out!

sbeauty I'm sorry you had such a bad year. 2010 is bound to be better, because the only place you can go from terrible is up! Best wishes for a fantastic 2010!

I've read that the Senate has passed a bill allowing social security benefits for illegal immigrants. This doesn't seem right to me. After all, the social security system is already running out of money, and people who have paid...

sbeauty Unfortunately, it isn't just the jobs no one wants that they're taking away from the American people. I lived in a town that was overrun with illegals because of the packing plants. If you read the job ads in the local paper, everyone wanted employees who were...

sbeauty This is all so wrong. We need to help our own people first. I'm sorry that things are so miserable in Mexico that they feel a need to illegally enter our country, but when they get here they think they should be entitled to all of our benefits while never...

A story was in our newspaper today that I wanted to share with you all. It's about a 5th grader who was asked to write a letter to a serviceman as part of a class project. She asked if she could write to her cousin who was in the...

sbeauty Isn't it nice to actually be able to find a happy story in the newspaper once in awhile!

There have been a lot of derogatory remarks on the news making fun of government money being allocated to look into the problem of "pig smell". They seem to think it's a joke, but if you've ever smelled a large hog confinement...

sbeauty I agree that the federal government is involved in far too many things that should be taken care of by the state. However, since the subject of hog smells has reached the federal level, I hope they use some judgment and use the money wisely. Setting aside...

sbeauty I loved your comment about being able to send them back when they know their address. That's funny but oh, so true! In my experience, employers don't pay any taxes on them at all and don't withhold anything, so why should they be entitled to receive something...

sbeauty I certainly agree with that. Breaking the law by entering the country illegally shouldn't qualify them for any benefits. Thanks for your comments!

About a month ago our oldest cat had to be put to sleep. Since that time one of our other cats (we have two now) cries loudly all day long. I know he and Sebastian were close, but I thought he'd get over missing him soon. He...

sbeauty Thanks for your suggestions. We do still have two kitties, but they were never friends like Quincy and Sebastian were. I'm hoping that given enough time Quincy will come to accept Dooey as his friend and stop crying. It has been over a month now, and he still...

sbeauty Apparently she needed the companionship, and you were able to provide that for her. I'm afraid a lot of pet owners wouldn't be that thoughtful, and it's nice to hear about people who care so much for their animals. Thanks for sharing!

sbeauty It's sad to think that they're hurting just as we do. It's like with your kids when you want to make everything better for them, but you can't. Thanks for your response!

sbeauty This is the first time I've ever had one of multiple kitties die, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm finding that what you said is very true. Thanks!

sbeauty I went to school 40 years ago, and we were taught not to cheat. I never needed to, anyway. Whatever grades I got, that's what I got. I couldn't have lived with myself if I had ever cheated.
