I would donate some of the money to local libraries, but also I would use most of it for a charity event. I would have resteraunts come and give out samples of their best dishes and libraries would be there with their used materials for sale. Proceeds from the event would go to literacy and anti-hunger organizations. |

| An Ode To Mothers |
[May. 5th, 2009|02:53 pm] |
An Ode To Mothers Because no one else can tuck you in just right. Because it’s hard to bake with Dad without the fire department being involved. Because someone has to resist their kid’s puppy-dog look. Because a head-smack is just Mom’s way of saying “Don’t do that.” Because while Dads give their daughters away when they get married, Moms hold on forever. Because someone has to make you earn your allowance. Because only Moms can really tell their sons what women want. Because Moms understand the importance of new clothes on the first day of a new school year. Flowers fade and chocolate melts, but a hand-trace that says ‘I love you, Mommy’ lasts forever. Mom doesn’t care what you get her… as long as you give her a gift with love. (But money doesn’t hurt.) Moms don’t tell you what to do. They make suggestions and if you value your life, you follow them. It’s true: If mama’s not happy, NO ONE will be happy. "When your mother asks, 'Do you want a piece of advice?' it is a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway." — Erma Bombeck There is very little that Moms won’t forgive you for. And when you mess up there’s very little Moms won’t make you pay for. Here’s to all the mothers out there. For without you, none of us would be around. |

| I MUST get this out of my system! |
[Apr. 1st, 2009|06:24 pm] |
I DO NOT like Barack Obama.
I do not like his politics and I do not like how he is treating the job of President of the United States of America. (And even if the government arrests me for it at some distant point that is STILL the nation I live in, the nation I respect, and the nation our forefathers fought and died for.)
There are many jobs where you can get on the job training and learn as you work.
The Presidency is NOT one of them!
Obama has made the United States a joke to the world. Terrorists are actually TELLING US when they will plan attacks on our country! England, one of our best allies, is PISSED at us! (And behold the irony at the fact that they were some of Obama's biggest supporters prior to the election!)
Our economy wasn't great at the end of Bush's 2nd term but he was working to come up with a SOLUTION. Not a quick fix, but a real solution to the problem.
Obama's solution is to throw enough money at the problem and eventually it will fix itself.
When it comes to the question of Obama pulling our Armed Forces troops out of Iraq and Afganistan, I am all for that but not until we have secured the countries and insured that they will not attack us on our own turf. I support the troops, and I hope that they come back to their families but to say that them being over there is useless and a mistake isn't support. It's a slap in the face of those men and women who give their time and lives so that we can be safe here in the United States. (You want to give someone in the Armed Forces the ultimate gift? THANK THEM! I'm serious. So many of these people and the veterans of past fighting never hear a thank you from the people they've tried to protect.)
At work I have people actually accuse me of being racist because of how I feel about Obama.
I am NOT a racist! I would feel the same way if Obama was white or Hispanic. But this is how many of the Democrats feel. If you don't support our president, then you're snubbing a black man.
But as much as I dislike Obama and what he is doing to turn our country in to a socialist nation, he is not the only one to blame. This is a coup that is being staged by the Democratic Party. The Dems want to make the country dependent on government to survive because then it's easy to control the world.
And no, that is blowing things out of scale. The Democrats and Liberals are planning world domination and using Obama to do it.
When you look at the kinds of people Democrats want to help, it's usually those who are looking for an easy out. They're asking for help but what they really want is someone to GIVE them the help instead of helping them help themselves.
Or to put it more simply, the Republican Conservative Party wants to teach you to fish, but you have to go and do the work of actually fishing.
The Democrats, however, will just give you the bait. What do you do with it? Well, you'll figure it out.
I work to pay my bills. I live with my parents because that eliminates the problem of rent.
Sometimes I go out with friends and have a good time.
My name is Kathryn and I live in the United States of America.
My grandfathers were in the Army and my uncle Bobby is a retired Marine.
I am proud of the country I live in and I don't care what anyone else says I am PRO-abortion, PRO gay marriage, and I support the troops.
233 years ago, we, the Unites States of America, declared our independence. We told England that we would live under our own rule and though this country had been hit with more hardships than the founding fathers ever imagined, we're still standing. We've weathered every storm and we have stood our ground. We have come together in times of trouble and we have helped those who needed our help.
THIS IS in the nation I was born in and THIS is the nation I will die in. |

| a question to the 80's generation |
[Mar. 24th, 2009|11:46 pm] |
I'm hoping someone can help me figure something out. I was watching 'Rainbow Brite' on YouTube and I had something of a cartoon flashback. Was there a longer episode or a 2nd movie? I know of the 'Star Stealer' movie but this wasn't it.
I remember there was evil... thing trapped in a bottle. And they RB team had to use something to travel along a river.
If I'm making sense to anyone please PLEASE help me! |

What if you could go back in time and share the future with one historical figure? Who would you talk to and what would you tell them? |

On September 11th, 2001 we found our country under fire in a way that many of us never imagined.
This freeverse poem is dedicated to two simple words that we don't say enough to those who lived and those who died that day.
THANK YOU You’re one of the airplane passengers who helped keep the plane going just long enough to miss hitting my grandparents’ home Thank you You’re the fireman who saved dozens of lives without any thought that you could lose your own Thank you You helped a friend out of the rubble even when they told you to go alone Thank you You’re the soldier who protects us The marine that watches over us The army ranger who puts country before all else Thank you You’re the man who salutes the flag each morning The woman with a flag pin and a yellow ribbon on her jacket The nurse who heals bodies and souls Thank you You give a veteran an extra smile even when you’re having a bad day You support our troops even if you don’t support the president that leads them You take just a moment every day to be grateful that we live in a free country Thank you For all those who make America the land of the free and the home of the brave Thank you |

For one day I'd have a nation-wide day off. A chance for everyone to step away from the stress and demands of life and spend a day doing nothing but having fun and enjoying the fact that you're alive |

| My protest of Harry Potter: HBP movie delay |
[Aug. 17th, 2008|09:52 am] |
To show just how pissed off I am about the movie delay, I am proposing that fans boycott the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Not the movie in general, cause that's overkill.
WB wants more money, eh? Maybe if they lose the biggest night they'll understand just how much fans count for revenue. |
