This morning I was thinking about how communications have been changing for people in my generation. Almost no one goes to the store and buys stationery or cards and puts them in the mail We use the internet to send things like that. It’s free, it’s easy, and there are lots of nice web sites that have cute animated cards that say everything you would want to say.

No one has a home phone any more. And unless your job is white collar that requires a phone at your desk for work, most of us don’t use the phone to talk to anyone except our closest friends.

Also, we don’t use email much anymore. . So much email is just spam anyways. I use Facebook and Twitter to keep up with my people, pus a short text from my phone. We talk a lot less but we still communicate.

Why there is so much debate and up roar over same sex marriage is ridiculous to me as if two people love each enough to invite everyone in there family and all there friends to an event in which they profuse there love to one another in front of a priest should not be made illegal or not allowed in my opinion. Plain and simple America has moved past the stereo types of the 1950s and 60s and are much more willing to accept people for who they are and not what they do in the bedroom!

I am always curious to hear what my fellow American says about this subject and why they are for or against same sex marriage and I am willing to listen and understand where your coming from on this issue no matter which way you lean. But lets be honest with ourselves about not allowing gay men or women to marry each other, does not allowing them going to stop them from being gay??

And some people are just born gay or more than likely have been gay most of there lives and saying these people who are something that you and i are not and stopping them from getting married as a result is just being hypocritical in my opinion. After all how many marriages end in divorce? I think its half!

Tomorrow is the first day of October. My favorite month (September) is now officially over and winter is right around the corner, what fun, not! I hate winter, don’t like the cold or Christmas. I come from a fairly large family and Christmas is just a hassle each year trying to please everyone in so many ways, sigh…….

Daylight Savings Time will come to an end soon and the days will be getting shorter and colder with passing of each day and week. Each year I wonder why I haven’t moved to a warmer location, but I don’t think that I could be that far away from friends and family for any length of time.

My mother has been pestering me to make an appointment with my doctor and get this year’s flu shot. I have never got one before, I don’t like needles, so each year I end up sick with the flu for a week or so and miss a lot of time from work due to it. So I promised my mother that this year I would suck it up and get the “magical flu shot” that seems to help numerous people fight off the flu each year.

I’m not looking forward to it, I’ll probably need to take a Valium before I go, but I’ll give it a try and hopefully it will work for me and I can use those sick days for something else this year!

I have a real good tight relationship with my kid sister’s daughter, Macina. She is 18 years old and wants to be a writer. She had a dream the other night that she couldn’t shake and ended up writing it down and she sent me a copy of it. I’m so tickled to see her creative writing ability that I had to share it here.

“I Was Carrying Something On My Way Back To The Mountain, As I Saw Two Men High Up On The Mountain Beating On A Newborn Amethyst Baby Dragon That Had Just Hatched From Its Egg Not Long Before. So I Dropped Whatever It Was That I Was Carrying And Headed Towards Them As Fast As I Could And Once I Got There I Kicked Them Out Of The Way And They Ended Up Crashing Into A Boulder, Dead. Then The Amethyst Baby Dragon, While In Incredible Pain, Tried To Stand Up As If Nothing Had Happened. Tears Started To Flow Out Through My Eyes, But Before They Could, The Baby Dragon Fell To Ground, Unable To Move. I Rushed Over As Fast I Could And Tried My Absolute Best To Heal The Amethyst Baby Dragon. Yet It Was Too Late, There Was Nothing That I Could’ve Done Now, For The Baby Dragon Had Died. I Held The Amethyst Baby Dragon In My Arms, Crying Uncontrollably. And Once Night Fell, I Still Couldn’t Stop Crying, But I Was Able To Dig A Grave For The Baby Dragon, A Worthy Grave, A Grave So Great That It Was Worthy Of Being A Dragons Grave. I Still Couldn’t Stop Crying Though, For The Sadness And Pain Was Too Much, Many Large Puddles Of Water Were Made From My Tears. And Once I Was Finally Able To Move On, I Left, And I Took The Amethyst Baby Dragons Egg With Me, To Remind Me Of That Fateful Day. To Keep The Memory Of The Amethyst Baby Dragon Alive.”
