Mothers Day

 I had a very nice Mothers Day this year, except for the cold I woke up with on Sunday morning. I got my hair, my eye lashes and brows done from my honey, my kids bought me a grill with supplies, a pair of earrings, some lotion, and of course some very nice cards that make you teary eyed. I know a mother wanting a grill sounds a little strange, but it was greatly appreciated. I enjoy grilling, especially since it means less mess and less time spent in the kitchen. It is so much easier than standing there slaving over a hot stove in the summer. I would much rather be sitting in the backyard and cooking on the grill, plus I love family barbecues. We have such a fun time when we get together and have a barbecue. I always look forward to the summer holidays, it gives me an excuse to get everyone together for a barbecue. I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Mothers Day.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!

Benefits Of Red Wine

I am adding wine to my diet. I recently read that drinking a glass or two of red wine before dinner will speed up a woman's metabolism and you will eat less at the dinner table. Now that I am taking medication that has weight gain as a side effect. I need something to boost my metabolism. Because, I seem to have gained a little weight since taking it and I am having trouble getting the weight off. With wine involved, I don't have a problem trying that diet. But, the trick is not to drink alcohol at least two hours before bedtime. So, pour that glass of red wine while your cooking dinner. It worked yesterday, I was full a lot sooner than usual. Another good  reason to pour a glass of wine before dinner is red wine cancels out some harmful substances produced by meat in the stomach.

The Big Debate Over The U.S. Interrogation Methods

With the recent capture of Bin Laden, Liberals who oppose the so called harsh interrogation techniques brought in by the Bush administration have brought the debate to the surface again. Honestly, I think the debate is ridiculous. Does the Middle East have any sympathy for our American Soldiers when they are torturing them while they interrogate them? Do they have any sympathy when they burn their bodies alive? Bin Laden was lucky to be shot in the head, he died instantly. Imagine the pain our American Soldiers or Americans suffered while being tortured at the hands of Iraqis or the Al Qaida. War is not humane. Therefore, expecting the U.S. Military to be humane in the time of war or when interrogating those who have participated attempting to kill or kill American citizens is unrealistic. Was Bin Laden concerned about how humane his techniques were in his multiple attempts to bomb the World Trade Centers? No, he didn't! He devoted his life to inflicting the most possible damage on the United States.

Liberals can not expect the American Government and Military to be a bunch of pansies when dealing with terrorists. The country we live in would not be the country they live in if our government was always concerned about being humane in the time of war or dealing with terrorists. They would not be able to walk outside their door or sit in their homes without hearing a bomb go off. Liberals are taking their freedom for granted and should thank our government for being strong. I have been to Iraq and Jordan, sat in the living room of my ex-husband's family and heard a bomb go off just a few blocks away and have seen the military walking in the streets. When I arrived back in the United States, it was such a feeling of relief to know that I was safe. The feeling of being safe is taken for granted by Liberals who oppose the United States interrogation tactics. I have no sympathy for terrorists. I have sympathy for the Americans who have been tortured or killed by terrorists, not for those who have committed their life to terrorizing the United States or the Americans who fight for our freedom.
