 HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!                                                 TRICK OR TREAT!!!!!! SMELL MY FEET!!!!!! GIVE ME SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT!!!!!!!  

Looking through the old pictures I found a few that I thought would be perfect for Halloween. The first one I know is my grandpa because it was written on the back. No year but I'm guessing it's from the 1920's.    I'm assuming that one of these people is my grandpa and I think they are dressed up for Halloween. I thought this would be a good one for Halloween because of the double exposure. At the time he was trying his hand at developing film. I think the man on the left is him and the woman in the middle was one of his lady friends.                           I thought this was an interesting picture. It's a little hard to see but it you look real close you can make out a woman holding a cup. On the back of the picture it says Aunt Selma. Who's aunt I'm not sure. Or maybe it's the ghost of Aunt Selma caught on film. Just a ...

If there was one thing you always wanted to do above all else, what would it be? I found this question on a blog I found called 365 Stories In A Year.By Lee Pound. It was in one of his stories. When I saw this question and I thought it was a good one to ask people. So for about a week I was asking people this question. Some people really had to think about it while others took no time at all. Some of the ones who took a little bit of time thinking said they would like to travel somewhere. Some had a destination. Like, Cancun, Hawaii, taking his kids to places he has seen, Norway( because his family was from there), to go to Germany and visit WWII museums,to just travel the world safely , to just take his wife a nice vacation. One person also said to just take off. No destination in mind just go.This is one thing that is at the top of my list. The rest gave me all kinds of answers and here they are: Would like to be able to talk in front of a group of people. Graduate collage, i...

This past week this question has been on my mind. With all the things that have been happening lately I decided to ask people at work or that I met how they would answer three questions about respect. I was just curious to see what kind of answers I would get. Most of the answers did not surprise me. So here are the questions and summery of the answers. Number 1: Does respect exist anymore? The majority said little or not as much as it use too. Some same in some places it does. It all depends where. Few said not at all. I agree with not as much as it use too. We have become a society where people only think about themselves. Number 2: Who or what do you respect the most? The majority of the people said parents. Someone said her daughter. A few said their elders. A few said the constitution. A couple said no one. One person said an old gym teacher. Because he help him with an important medical issue. I will say I respect my parents. I guess your parents should be at...

  With all the things being reported about bullying I thought I would try and find a few definitions of what a bully is.   It is so sad to hear of someone who has ended their life because someone has decided to humiliate them just for their own entertainment. I know they will say that they didn't mean no harm. They never thought it would lead to this.  That's the problem. No one knows how the think or respect anyone any more. I can't imagine what it is like to be a kid now a days.  It was bad enough when I was a kid. Most days dreading going to school not sure what was going to happen. At least at home you felt a little safer.  But know in the internet and cell phone age that feeling of being a little bit safer is gone. Bullies can now hide behind the these things. They can start a campaign to hurt someone because they felt like they were wronged by this person or this person did something to make them look in a worse light. Or the person  might be gay. ...
