There is primary voting today in Texas, Ohio and two other states...

what is the deal here? Is it really THAT difficult to say and/or write Rhode Island and Vermont? I've heard and read this everywhere. Just wanted to comment on it!

So to Rhode Island and Vermont, you may be small and have few delegates to offer; but yall are just as important as, well not as Texas but say... Wyoming or Kansas.

So, sorry some people are being so rude and treating yall like you're nothing. Yall are Americans and your votes do count!   :)

UNITED STATES MAP - Short But Good! 

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked like. 

Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it To Shelby and said, "Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This will show you our whole country today." 

After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. "Oh," she said, "on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together."

7:30 p.m. CT - Plano, TX - "Huckabee for President" Rally in the Conference Center at the Spring Creek Campus of Collin County Community College, located at 2800 E. Spring Creek Parkway

I wanted to post something... but still, 6 years later, I have no words.

I still feel the shock, still feel the disbelief and the pain, the sadness and the anger.

I cry, tears are all I have, words cannot explain the emotions re-lived on this day.

To all of you also feeling pain and sadness today, I reach out a hand.

God Bless.

What a beautiful day and night Wednesday turned out to be. We enjoyed Bedford's events and fireworks show. We sat by the water and watched the fireworks, there really is nothing like fireworks by or on the water...

It was a reflection time for me as well as emotional... I thought about the troops, those that I know and those that I don't, those that we've lost and those that are still fighting.

It was a time to be thankful for being an American and thankful for those that have and still do fight for us and for the freedoms we cherish.

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th, God Bless yall.

I open my mouth when people talk down about my country or my military

I teach my children to respect their elders, authority, the environment and their country, and to tell soldiers "thank you"

I am registered to vote and I will vote

I'm against killing unborn children and for killing murderers

I let people over on the road and give a thank you wave when they do the same for me

I cook good healthy meals for my family after work instead of picking up McDonald's

I turn off the television and play outside with my kids

I work and pay taxes and support myself and my family

I send carepackages   (Love You Unit 73920!)

I remember 9-11

I have a yellow ribbon on my car

I fly an American Flag at home

And I look around - and I wonder, Where are YOU?!?!?!

Ok, so we've been holding out.. everyone has called us crazy. We had become experts on fan placement to create the best breeze through the house. We made it all the way to June 5th, and broke. We turned on the A/C last night for the first time this year.

We're dreading the first bill but we couldn't take it any longer... the heat, the bugs, the annoying buzz of fans.... our sanity is now starting to return.

Anyone else still holding out??

ABC announced Rosie will not be returning to the View.

So long sweet cheeks.

Saw the news story about Irving Elementary schools teaching every other day in spanish. They teach the class in English on Monday and then on Tuesday they teach the class in all spanish. So instead of learning something everyday, the single language kids are only learning every other day? I am so happy with our school district, HEB, and SO glad we do NOT live in Irving. I feel sorry for english speaking children attending Irving schools. I understand there is a large percentage of spanish speaking children that need to attend school but I just don't think this is the right way to go about teaching class. The spanish speaking children should be in a separate class until they learn english well enough to attend the english speaking classes. Am I alone in this? I just don't think this system they are using is helping the spanish kids learn to speak english, this should be one of the main goals for their instruction; That way the spanish children can integrate better into society because they would be able to SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE. Call me crazy but I think that may be a better plan.

Can we all just wait until the season gets under way and see how this guy does as head coach before judging him? He seems to be a good down home Texas guy who feels strongly that happy locker rooms spread out onto the field and the guys play better when they play as a team. As long as the Cowboys play to their potential, the Pillsbury dough boy could run this team and they would still have a good year. Perhaps what some view as a "puppet" is actually a coach that is open to allow OTHER coaches input and yes the GM who by the way might possibly know a thing or two about football at this point.

There's nothing wrong with discussion but for goodness sake, give the guy a chance. Norv Turner already had one, get over it. Jimmy aint coming back, cry about it. Just give  Phillips a break, and see what the season brings.
