I am a 65 year old woman, wife, mother, and grandmother of five grandsons. Like most writers and wannabe writers, I read voraciously. My interests range from the newspaper to the classics with a stop in every catagory on the way. Words facinate me. They educate,
+ more bio informationWould any woman be allowed to kill her four year-old child because the child had become inconvenient or the father or mother had decided they didn't want the child? No, they would be jailed and considered heartless and cruel. So, why do women clamor for the right to murder their unborn child for these same reasons? Have we s...
While it might be tempting for OJ to try to flee the US while out on bail, I seriously doubt that he will. First, he believes he is in the right and since he thinks did nothing wrong I imagine he truly believes he is in no danger of going to jail. Second, he will be watched closely just in case the temptation gets too strong...
Tibet is a beautiful country of mountains that stretch to the sky and valleys that are full of lush vegetation and people. It was, and still is to the degree possible, a Buddhist country that adheres to the ideals of peaceful life and non confrontation. Their culture is thousands of years old and their art forms are exquisit...
A physical fence is a necessary thing and now more than ever. At all large border crossing points such as Brownsville, Texas or Tijuana on the Mexico/California border there are gates, guards and barriers. This has always been the case. The rest of our border was more or less protected by the vast deserts that are on both si...

Well, the Super Bowl frenzy is here again and once more I find myself wondering why people love to watch this game. What is so interesting about a bunch of huge men slamming into each other and fighting over a little ball? I've watched the game occasionally for over 50 years and am still trying to figure out what's going on....
The media has made itself a dupe and pawn of the terrorist organizations around the world by giving them constant coverage. And, the terrorist groups don't even have to pay for all of this exposure. All they have to do is blow up a few hundred or a few thousand people and the media is all over it, screaming for change and fo...
Frankly, I don't know any seniors who have everything. But, being a senior myself, I can truthfully say that the things that would mean the most to me are seldom thought of. Most seniors hate to ask for help as they are independent spirits who've always been able to do for themselves. But, things change as you grow older. Fo...
So you are divorced or widowed and have finally decided to remarry. What about his/her kids? I find the article title a little strange. There is no integrating stepchildren into your family. They ARE part of your family from the time you agree to marry their father/mother. For the sake of convenience I am going to continue t...
