Ponder Pages

It's been one of those weeks where I'm not sure what to write. So much has been happening I'm not sure what to ponder. One thing I could ponder about is how stupid seems to be the thing more and more people are leading their lives by. Like the group of people who wanted to start a war with the police. They call themselves a christian militia. Religion has nothing to do with killing people in the way they wanted to it. I guess I don't understand those kind of people. But what I would like to say to other groups like them is this: If you are planning to do something like this group, you have to know it will not work in the way you want it to. It never does. So think of a different way to change things for yourself. Killing is not the way to go. Harm none. Things take time to change. Respect goes along way both ways. Bullying was in the news again. Something tells me these people were never taught respect or self control. I know what it's like to be bullied. I had ...

It was a very nice week around here. The temps were in the high fifty's and into the 60's, until yesterday. It was about 31 degrees. And I thought I was done with my winter coat. As for my work at work, I had a week where I felt everyone had to pick my brain about something. So I guess you can say my brain got a great workout. I did do allot of pondering during the week about all kinds of things. Want to read them? Well if your happen to be here you must want to read something, so here goes: Politicians, now they know how to ponder things. But I think they ponder things way to much. Health care for one. At the way things are going the only ones who will be able to have any health care will be the elite. No one else will be able to afford it. With a price on your life and the fact that so many people are  losing their jobs. No profit no help. How did we get to this point? They say life is precious, but they make it impossible to maintain it. Some think the only way to live...

:     Pictures from the past I thought it was time I post some of the old pictures I keep talking about. These were taken in the late 1910's and early 1920's.  In the picture above I think it's my Grandpa holding the bottle. Remember this was more then likely during prohibition. In the picture below, I'm not sure who they are.  But any way I think someone was saying, "Ready, aim, fire!"                                                                                                                                                            ...

It's another quiet day in the North woods. The husband had no problem with the shot he had to get. So all is fine here. Other places are another story. It's seams kind of weird that the east coast is getting so many snow storms and here we might get a dusting or a couple of inches. This week we are suppose to be in the thirties. I do want the snow to be gone because I'm tired of seeing white when I look outside. I want to see green grass and green trees. But I guess we can wish whatever we want Mother nature still has the final say in everything.  I asked a few people at work if they had any pondering questions, they didn't. Just the same old  things are being said about the same things with the same people doing the same dumb things. So many people keep doing the same things over and over again with the same results and they can't figure out why things never change. They are stuck on the same path and have no real desire to venture off onto a new one. Fear of c...

You ever get the feeling that things have been to quiet or calm for you? You know, no real drama. That's my life I guess. Maybe I'm just stuck in a rut. Or maybe I'm just going through life with my head in the sand. So I've been asking myself do I want more excitement in my life or do I continue to silently drift along until a big drama happens that there is no way to escape it. But if I could choose what kind of drama I would want in my life what kind of drama would it be? Or does wanting drama in my life just open me up to something really bad? The kind of dramas I would not like to have is something like what Tiger Woods is going through. Now that's something I would not wish on anyone. My heart does go out to the guy. It's a matter that should only involve himself and his wife. To have to say he was sorry so publicly is something he should not have had to do. This country has no respect for personal lives. But then again people who are so nosy about others...

With Valentines Day less then a week away I thought I would post a few of the old cards I found among the old letters that belonged to my Grandpa. None of these cards had names on them so I don't know who they were from or if they were even sent to anyone. Only the first one was in an envelope and it just said "An old friend H.B."

My life lately has been very boring. Not much seams to be getting on my nerves lately. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I've had things on my mind but nothing that has really ruffled my feathers. Not that I have feathers because I'm not a bird. I guess I feel that on most topics everyone else has said everything that could be said, maybe. What kind of topics do pass through my head during the day? How about the recent issues that Toyota is having. They are no different then any other car company in business right now. It's just their turn to be in the light for problems they have. And they thought they would be immune. Don't these big companies see that the bigger they get the bigger the problems will be. Spreading yourself around to much makes it hard to see the whole operation. The bigger the company the more people are employed(which is not a bad thing), the less concern the employer really cares about the employee as a person. They only care about their prof...
