Depressed About the Economy?



I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy,
the wars, global warming, my savings, Social Security, my credit card debt.....
I called Lifeline.


Got a freakin' call center in Pakistan
I told them I was suicidal
They all got excited and asked if I could drive a truck.....

I gotta tell ya...life is stressful!

Haven't blogged much the last week...been visiting with my only 3 grandsons that flew in from New Jersey..they leave Friday...I will have lots of time after this weekend to blog.

The Story of TAPS...Thanks to the Troops

Is the melody which came to be known as TAPS found in the pocket of a boy in 1862 on a Civil War Battlefield? If you don't know the true story...click on this link to Snopes.com or the West Point link...

The notes have come to mean someone is going through some heart-wrenching news and we all stand at attention, oftentimes, with our hand over our heart. They are beautiful soulful notes and truly do reflect the "end of day".

Blessings to all who are now serving or have served and their families...thank you! Now, we all need to fight to preserve the freedoms derived from the Constitution.

God Bless Us All!
