Politics
My dear husband has been glued to the television this election year. He is a bit of a political junkie. He was very involved with the Young Republicans while he was in college. The minute he walks through the door he turns on CNN to see what the latest story is. While the debates are on he sits in front of the TV and has the laptop right there so he can Tweet his opinions of the candidates. I sure am thankful for the low rates we get from Centerpoint electricity, if it were not for them our bills would be through the roof. Speaking of through the roof, my husband’s blood pressure usually shoots up when he is watching them. He still has not made up his mind totally on who he is supporting though. He thinks that there are some very good candidates running. He also thinks that there are several that are a joke. I don’t get the whole politics thing, as long as he doesn’t mess with my Kardahian time, I will be ok.
Obama Fundraising from Gays, Lesbians
According to CBS News, President Obama spoke at a private home in Washington last month, where about 40 donors from the gay and lesbian community paid $35,800 per ticket to attend...The event comes on the heels of a decision by a federal appeals court in California to strike down that state's ban on gay marriage. Obama supports civil unions but has stopped short of embracing gay marriage, a stance he was unlikely to change Thursday.
Co-hosts for the event include James Hormel, a gay activist appointed by President Bill Clinton as ambassador to Luxembourg, and Laura Ricketts, a Chicago Cubs co-owner who is gay.

Prioritizing Home Security
It's important for all gay girls to make home security a priority in their life.
No matter where it is that you live, there is always the threat of close minded people who may snap or otherwise lose it and hurt you. It's hard to say what is in another person's mind, and when you are a gay woman in this world you have to be extra careful around others. This is especially important within your own home, because it should be your sanctuary and have a sense of peace. One way to do this is to install a home security system that will give a sense of control over your personal security a certain degree. You'll have the peace of mind that your home is safe and secure, unlike many of the places the outside world has to offer. Look for home security deals in your area by going to your nearest search engine and entering the keywords with your location such as "alarm systems New Suffolk".
You can take the security of your home a step further by ordering home security features like live cam monitoring, which allows you to monitor your home from your mobile phone using cameras to maintain constant surveillance. It's also helpful to have this feature is you are in a situation where you have to leave your teenage children home alone while you are at work, or if you have a baby sitter working in your house with small children.

The Office
I don’t normally like to talk politics in any situation ever but since the republican primaries are getting hot and heavy right now I feel the need to talk about them. I am a republican born and raised so it is hard for me to watch the debates with all of the republican candidates and just not get excited about any of them. I feel like at this point I will have to choose between the lesser of two evils and who wants to do that when you are making the all important decision of running the country? The reason I really started thinking about this is the other day on Facebook someone posted a picture of Dwight Shrute from The Office right next to a college picture of Newt Gingrich. I laughed out loud because the similarity is uncanny. You must Google this now. While we are on the subject of The Office, I implore you to watch this show. It is so LOL funny that you will get hooked on it within two episodes. Check out your Dish Television guide to set the recording tonight.
Judge Judy
Judge Judy is one of those shows that only comes on during the middle of the work day so I rarely get to watch it.
The other day I was home sick and just lying around on the couch searching for something to watch on Direct tv Lincoln when I ran across a listing for Judge Judy. I decided it had been a long time since I have seen that show so I wanted to check it out. She is still the same spitfire that I remember from watching her in my college days. I love how she tells it like it is and doesn’t try to sugar coat it for the people in her court room. I think more judges should act this way. Some of the cases that are put before her in the court are just ridiculous that they are even talking about the issue let alone suing each other for it. I have seen people in disputes over such little amounts of money that it doesn’t even make sense that they would bother with taking the issue to court.
Being from a Small Town
Being from a small townmeans a lot of things but to me it really means a sense of loyalty to my family.
That’s easier said than done when your parents are old and only getting older but there’s something to be said for a great community like the one I grew up in that really rallies around its residents. I know that even when I’m not able to be home my neighbors are really taking care of my folks. My dad had been talking about learning to email so I looked into Internet Providers Coeburn and decided that’s how I would get in touch with them on a daily basis. They really hate the phone for some reason and the buttons are too small, anyway, so email really just seemed like a natural solution. I don’t know where in the world I got so lucky being from a great community like Coeburn but I’m just thankful I was so that as my parents age I don’t have to worry about them too much.
