I'm a mother, a grandmother, a business owner, a wife, an activist and a dog owner. This is my life and living in Kansas and this world as I see them.Mishyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15259837057328898125noreply@blogger.comBlogger76125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24439376.post-66224487033114734432009-11-04T21:56:00.000-08:002009-11-04T21:56:25.007-08:00

What is it these days with women using the excuse of being pregnant when they don't want to do something? Since when did pregnancy become an illness or a condition that hampers day to day activity when in fact it a very normal and natural bodily function for women. If you are getting proper prenatal care and taking care of your physical health, the pregnancy should not limit daily activity. Yes

My eldest daughter got married this past Saturday. It was a beautiful wedding and reception, with a sit down dinner for 100, all done for less than $3,000.She and her now husband had family come in from all over the U.S., California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Washington State and I don't know where else. Her father's family was there in force including her step-mom (her father passed away 3

All I have to say is that I plan on keeping my 1989 Cadillac De Ville with 60,000 original miles on it as long as it will run. The last time I went car shopping it took me 3 weeks to find a car that did not look like every other vehicle on the road and I refused to get an SUV due to the gas mileage and nuisance they are with their height and bulk.My Caddy found me and it was love at first

The interesting thing that one can say about Kansas, and not start an arguement or create disention is, you never know what the weather is going to do.Last Saturday we got 9 inches of snow at my house... WHAT?!?! I slid on down and opened the antique shop and actually had one customer but about 4 pm. I packed it in and went home.This time of year when the flowers start peeping their little heads

According to the dictionary - Family; " A fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children." I believe that it also includes the spouses, if the children are married as well as their children... but my dictionary does not include that part.I have been reading the blog of a "family" member, I have posted comments so she should be aware that I am

As a matter of fact the antique shop that I opened 10 weeks ago appears to be inhabited by beings that are not of the living world. It is currently being investigated by a local paranormal group because things were just getting too out of hand, being pushed when going up the stairs was the last straw for me.I had the feeling that I was not alone in the shop when I first began moving in and

I posted a previous comment on this man... totally my opinion based on articles I have read in a variety of newspapers such as the NY Times, The Singapore Straits Times, Washington Post, USA Today, political blogs and what I have heard political "experts" and pundits say about him (you cannot get into the man's website without signing up for his newsletter).

I lived in Singapore for a few years when I was younger, 1972-1974. I was there for my freshman year of high school.We were a population of fairly transient ex-pats. Most did not stay in Singapore more than a year or two then there were others whose families made Singapore their home. Our dads worked in one of the following fields; oil, military, embassy, missionaries and the early days of

I am so disappointed and also disgusted with the outcome of the Democrat primary race. First, I think they need to change the name of their party from the Democrats to the Ourways or We Don't Care What the Popular Vote Is Party. With their Superdelegates making decisions based on .... does anyone really know?I do not want Barak Obama as a President. The man has ZERO experience this is a given. He

On May 10th, my oldest daughter Jennifer graduated from UMKC with her Bachelor's Degree in Biology and Education. She will be a high school biology teacher.She prefers working with high-risk, emotionally disturbed youth so she is looking for a job in the inner city. As luck would have it, a job is open at the local Juv. Detention Center for a biology teacher.She has had numerous offers and now

Today has just been one of those days where everything has pissed me off.Here is the list:For 3 months I have had my parent's permission to have an event at their house on the 21st of next month. All planning, purchasing, invitations, etc. have evolved around this event at their home where they have a swimming pool, pool table, dart board and several hundred more square footage than I have in our

I am so glad that California is following the constitutional rights given to us all, the right to privacy and equality... this includes sexual orientation and who we choose to spend the rest of our lives with.Of course Kansas is one of those states which has declared it unconstitutional to essentially have these rights because several years ago they wrote a constitutional amendment banning same

Today we hear that that the anti-choice zealots from "around the nation" (I think it is Mary Kay Culp and her cult) have sounded the call to arms to beg asshole Phil Kline to run for "re-election" as Johnson County Kansas DA.He was not elected the first time he was appointed by the sages of the Republican party who don't have a complete brain between them. And I am a registered Republican.....

Tonight I went to the first concert I have been to in ages, my daughter and I went to see Chris Daughtry and Bon Jovi at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.I LOVE Daughtry.... I have never watched American Idol but when I first heard this guys music I was hooked. Of course Bon Jovi isn't too bad but I went to see Daughtry. As with any opening act his session was way to short, 30 minutes

What is it with the Obamas? What is the "Change" that he is going to bring about? I have yet to hear anything specific. He is a dud on foreign policy, sure he has traveled but so have I. I have actually traveled to countries that he has not been to, I have dined with royalty and even dated a prince. Yes, an honest to goodness prince.I went to school in Mexico City and South East Asia so I learned

Today I was thinking about the tsunami that hit areas surrounding the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004.It was on this day that the tsunami struck 12 countries. Around 230,000 people were killed and over 1.5 million were left homeless. In an instant everything changed and even now, three years on, many millions of people are still struggling to rebuild their shattered lives.How are these areas

I just dusted my house two days ago and you cannot tell any difference looking at it today. What's up with that?!?!?!I know all the grossness about what dust really is but if we are really shedding this much dead skin, mites and other parasitic crap why don't we lose a couple of pounds after a shower? We also have 2 dogs that add to our dust and dander problemI made an attempt to get people to

Where in the hell is this woman?!?!? Her oldest child is having some type of mental breakdown and is locked up on a psych ward and she is holed up with her pregnant 16 year-old daughter. When did pregnancy become an illness? Being a slut is somewhat of a downfall but it looks like it runs in the gene pool.If Brit were my child you could not keep me away from her side, or at least the hospital.

I prefer more stringent enforcement of the DUI laws especially since I live within 1/2 mile of 4 bars.The choices that these folks make affects me when I am in my home, in my yard or driving up to the store. I don't have a choice as to when I am around someone who makes the choice to be intoxicated.Someone smoking on the other hand.... I do have that choice. I can avoid that particular restaurant

Death can bring out the best in a family or the worst. It can bring the survivor's closer and make the previously sweet and kind... nasty and evil.The later in all cases is what has happened to my husbands family with the death of their sister. It was a suicide, a horrible tragic suicide, after many years of attempting to kill herself. We were told by her numerous MD's that if she were not
