Ponder Pages

I've been pondering what exactly to ponder. There are so many things to ponder. There is the death of Senator Kennedy. He did allot to help so many other people who were having major problems in their lives. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Compared to other well known people who have passed on they certainly got him in the ground fast. It was the usual amount of time from death to burial. Unlike someone who died what two months ago and has still not been planted yet. It's just his shell, he's not there any more. There is the finding of the girl who was kidnapped 18 years ago. It is so hard to imagine what she went through I would not know what to say. For her and the two children she had because of this sick person, to live that long in this back yard is so hard for me to imagine. And for no one to make a fuss about the way the yard looked was something I can't understand. There is always some nosy neighbor who will always complain. I think I would have b...

Who's tired of the debates over health care? Me, for one. I look at it this way, it will not matter if the government gets into health care or not. Why? I don't see it being any different then what we get now. Thanks to insurance companies and the heath care industry they've already put a price on human life. So what's one more getting into it. You can't deny that they have put a price on our lives. I know of this one young man who has been diagnosed with leukemia and his insurance company promptly dropped him. He must not be worth anything. Not enough profit in him. Why does everything in life always have to be profited by someone somewhere? And the price of the littlest things on a medical bill, is highway robbery. You pay all this money into insurance companies and as soon as you have a big problem they find ways to not pay for everything or drop you all together. When it comes to going to the doctor for little things you almost have to take a loan out. I thi...

Yesterday I was talking to the youngest one about different things. I'm not sure exactly how we got on this one subject but I think it was something people should really think about. We got on the subject of what we learn in school and how much of those things we use after school. Also why they don't teach more things that are more helpful once you get out of school. What I mean is that allot of kids do not have the slightest idea how they are going to support themselves. Allot of kids do not have any clue on how much it really takes to be a success at not getting into financial binds. Not only do allot have problems with money but they can't seam to do anything for themselves without allot of help from others who are really having a hard time taking care of themselves. Some people will say that those kinds of lessons should be learned at home. I ask how can they learn when their parents never got a clue on how to do things better. Most of them are so wrapped up in their pr...

I think summer has finally arrived here. Yesterday it was in the 80's and hot and humid. Today is suppose to be the same. There were also rain showers and tornado watches. It's almost like the growing season is a month behind. Somethings in the garden are just now starting grow the way they should be. Like some gourd plants that are really left over last year. They just sprang up so I let them grow. But the corn is still short. And the peas are finally getting peas in their pods. But according to the farmers almanac we are suppose to get snow next month. Everything I think got a late start. Even the wild turkeys. Some of the ones I've seen have some pretty small babies for this time of year. I think the reason for this is because if they had eggs earlier they might of froze from the late frost we got, so they had to start over. People keep seeing allot of bears around the neighborhood. The husband, a couple of times has seen one that he thinks could weigh over 400 pounds. W...

I'm trying to figure out what to ponder that has not been pondered lately. Not having much luck right now. But lets see.... There is the case over Wausau way where the trail for the father of an 11 year old girl who died from untreated diabetes just got over with. He was found guilty. The wife was found guilty back in May. They could both get 25 years. In this day and age here in the US it's hard to believe people still believe that prayer alone can fix things. I have nothing against prayer but we do have the knowledge to fix things medically. If we were not meant to have this knowledge we would not have it. It's there, so use it. Prayer can give an added energy boost to help healing but it alone will not fix things like diabetes. Having a medical problem does not mean you have sinned and are being punished by God for it. Things happen because somethings happen not because you did something wrong. There is a person I work with that has a belief that cancer comes from having...
