Smoky Mountains in Germany??? Pumpkin seeds, Uncategorized | (18)
Just in case someone living in France near Germany is interested. Burger King is in Germany. When I am homesick and need to pretend I am back in America, the closest thing I have is McDonalds. Not anymore! I have found Burger King in Germany. It is about thirty minutes from Strasbourg. I am happy to report that we drove to Germany last week and had our fix of grease and carbohydrates. I enjoyed every single bite of my huge juicy hamburger. It was delicious. Fast food is less expensive in Germany than in France. ...

Our gift to the future Pumpkin seeds | (2)
I have been reading about the current global warming situation and it does not look good. First, the ice is melting all over the world at an alarming rate. The ice acts as a mirror bouncing the sun's rays back into space. Ground left open, with no reflective ice, absorbes the heat from the sun's rays causing the earth to warm. Analysis of an ice core drilled from the Antarctic shows the level fluctuated over the last 500,000 years between about 200 parts per million (ppm) during ice ages to more like 270ppm in warmer inter-glacial periods. ...

I hate you one zillion times and forever Pumpkin seeds | (13)
Last week I posted about the Mohammad cartoons. As a follow up to this post, I have found a video that demonstrates freedom of speech in action again. I have to admit I admire these two men for their courage, but wonder if maybe they went to far. After seeing the pictures on the Labaf blog and watching their video it is easy to see why the Muslims were so upset. I have links to the French and English version of their blog where you can watch the video at the end of this post. *I did have ...

One voice of wisdom in a world of ignorance Pumpkin seeds | (1)
Source: The Huffington Post "We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over there [standing ovation]... but Coretta knew and we know that there are weapons of misdirection right down here. Millions without health insurance. Poverty abounds. For war billions more but no more for the poor." -Reverend Dr. Joseph Lowery, at the Coretta Scott King funeral, standing in front of 4 presidents, one of whom was George W. Bush. Federico Mayor: "Learning to live together is one of the biggest problems of our times. We must work for a transition from the culture of war to the culture ...

Cock-A-Doodle Do Pumpkin seeds | (5)
I read yesterday about how some of the Rolling Stones songs were censored at the Superbowl this year. I could not believe my eyes when I read that this happened in the United States of America and that the word COCK is the problem. Just ridiculous. Hmmmm...so, this is why some Americans have a problem with France? Seeing as the national symbol of France is a COCK. And, you can be sure that I have teased my cocky French husband plenty for the fact that a cock (rooster) is the national symbol of France. You can have just way to much ...

Mohammad cartoons are not funny Pumpkin seeds | (19)
In light of the recent unrest across the Muslim world due to the publication of the Mohammad cartoons by a Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, I can't help but think that now is the time for lessons beyond showing some Muslims what freedom of speech means. The "Mohammad cartoons" in the Jyllands-Posten newspaper were intended to demonstrate: "The modern, secular society is rejected by some Muslims. They demand a special position, insisting on special consideration of their own religious feelings. It is incompatible with contemporary democracy and freedom of speech, where you must be ready to put up with insults, mockery and ridicule. It ...

The Feds vs. Googled Pumpkin seeds | (0)
Google and Yahoo! are tracking and storing information on their users for Contextual Ads (Google's is Adsense). Cookies are used which provide Google and Yahoo! with IP addresses and much more. As long as this type of information is tracked and more importantly stored for any length of time, it will be like candy locked in a candy store. It is only a matter of time before someone breaks in to get their hands on all the goodies. Google's locked door is already being shaken by the Feds. Feds have recently went after Google data. Google has refused to turn over ...

BooYahoo! Pumpkin seeds | (0)
A campaign to Booyahoo! has been launched! Last year, Yahoo! turned over the email of a Chinese journalist, Shi Tao, to the Chinese government. Subsequently, the journalist has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. "In 2004, Shi emailed some notes regarding the government's instructions on handling media coverage of the Tiananmen Square anniversary. He was detained on 24 November 2004 and formally arrested on December 14 on a charge of leaking state secrets. Shi was found guilty in April 2005 and sentenced to 10 years in prison. The incident sparked a controversy about the business practices of Yahoo, whose Hong ...

Each Thursday, I will start writing about a subject which I think is important and needs discussed. I will call it Thinking Thursday. I invite all of you to join in and share your personal thoughts, feelings and knowledge. The best way to learn is to discuss with others and share several viewpoints thus educating one another. I only ask that everyone is respectful of each other and behaves in an adult manner. All my visiters here have always been nothing but thoughtful and respectful. But, just in case someone comes along that does not play nice...be ye warned! ...

A woman’s choice??? Pumpkin seeds | (2)
I was at Connie's blog reading her very thoughtful post about a woman's right to choice on "Blog for Choice" day which was yesterday, January the 22. I thought about blogging in regard to this issue but changed my mind because I don't really support abortion. I do, however, support a woman's choice to decide the fate of her child's life, not death. Here is my comment to Connie's great post: "While I don't agree with abortion in any situation, I do understand that it is a social issue. I think that the problem is women do not have any real ...
