I’m glad that I have a DVD player, because as of late I have not been crazy about any of the television that is being offered during the prime time evening hours. Day time programming has always been an issue, not that I have much opportunity to watch it during the day, but I’d like to think that there would be something on at night that trips my trigger!
Come to think of it, pretty soon the winter reruns will be returning and I’ll not have anything enjoyable to watch. Good thing we have a good amount and a good selection of movies on DVD and a huge supply of VHS tapes that could use a good viewing by now.
Even though the election is over and we now have a president elect chosen, we are still dealing with so much media attention dedicated to the election and I do believe that most of us need a break from all of this coverage that has invaded our homes for the last couple of months.
Don’t get me wrong, we need to know what is going on, but I really think that we need something to focus our attention on for the time being. In the mean time, congratulations to our first African American president elect, and may he serve our country well and make it a better place for all concerned!
I am so proud to let everyone know that there were extremely long lines at my local polls. I have seen people voting that have never voted before and people that I know are always voting. We the people, as the constitution starts out, need to take back our country instead of leaving the choice of our elected officials to the choice few that vote. We have to take responsibility for our own country and voting is the best way an everyday person can do that. Well, that’s my opinion anyway. VOTE PLEASE!!!!!
The neighborhoods will be full of kids going door to door in hunt of candies and other treats. We have a big bowl of candy by the door at the ready. It is hard to forecast how many kids will come knocking, but last year we had a steady flow from about 6:00 until almost 9:00. After about 8:00 there weren’t any more of the little kids coming to the door, but the older kids need to be given candy as well - if for no other reason than to buy protection from the vandalism. This afternoon I detailed the yard and put up anything that could be stolen or thrown about the yard and street. All I have out front is the pumpkin on the porch, and when I’m ready to shut off the lights I will bring in the pumpkin for the night to keep him safe.
Well, it’s that time of year again when it’s time to get my annual flu shot. I made my appointment and when I got there, I was shocked at how many people were there to get a flu shot. What I didn’t know is that my wonderful doctor had donated flu shots to local families that wanted a flu shot but didn’t have insurance and didn’t meet the governments guidelines to receive any benefits from them. In other words, the people in need that fall through the cracks. I knew I loved this doctor for a reason. Not only is she a healer, but she’s a wonderful person too.
