Merry Christmas! No I am not ashamed to say it instead of "Happy Holidays". Someday there will be no "Christmas" anymore. It will be controlled...1984 has passed but is here. Yes a Bumblebee Outfit and brains..who would of thought?

Going out of my way today to finish baking cookies for my son in Kandahar, Afghanistan this Christmas..and also for those he serves with who get nothing sent from home!

Support the USO and the ever present Salvation Army..especially during the Holidays..they take care of our troops, their families, whether coming or going from duty all over the world... all the time... not just at Christmas! Give give give..They GIVE 100% to the troops who need a break! And don't be a cheapass...go to USO dot com. I taught my granddaughter to plunk down even the smallest of change into the bucket as we walk out of stores after shopping. She now appreciates why she is doing it and who it is for. If a 5 year old can do it...

Don't forget the "Toys for Tots"! Everytime you walk in or out of Walmart or store with a bin..GIVE! Who's watching your back? Marines? Navy? Army? Airforce or National Guard? Maybe you the complacent type that thinks "nothings going to happen to me or my family" Remember 911.

BTW, my name is Martha and I am a Marine Parent...Semper Fi! NOTHING in this world means more to me than my children and grandchildren.
MY SOAPBOX (skip if you don't like politics)

SHAME on the U.S. Government! Not only for the Gitmo...but for the 6 AMERICAN STUDENTS who planned against our Military Forces! Bring them back here! Try them as TRAITORS to America....little *)*^ heads! Next...

Move the terrorist to the U.S. for TRIAL??? What a joke! Instead of Gitmo? Are they totally living in DC politics? Who are those that are sending the 911 terrorists to NYC to stand trial? Look closely.. What is your Senator voting for?? Give those terrorists AMERICAN rights? Did they give our people who were just going to work that day rights? They planned those planes to kill as many as they could. Whose idea was THIS??? hmmm....Marches on Washington...opposing the trial of these people. I would gladly go and voice MY opinion! Obama is too "busy" primping before the cameras everyday to listen.

Those terriorists slaughtered thousands and now they get what? American "Attorneys" a.k.a. SHARKS and protection?? Spend U.S. dollars protecting these people? can't wait to see who pays for that! Every defense lawyer that wants on TV will be getting their name out there. I can name them one by one. The Muslums..I respect.. no problem. The outlandish Jihad oonnected with the terriorist? NO..their only mission is to kill Americans and disrupt our security. They safely reside in the U.S...under cover. Probably receiving Food Stamps and Government help. For years they have layed dormat..waiting, in lay..for the time to strike.. again! Is time to stop and look around. Do we want another 911? Let's tax everyone to support the troops, not just the war! I am so glad to see the Marches in Washington and around the country against the terriorists being tried on American Soil!

It does not take but a smile or a nice gesture to make it good day for whomever you meet and for yourself. If you want to make the world a better place..take a look at yourself and make the change! I am a positive person. Despite my rantings...I feel strongly about certain issues. If I offend you, sorry. I am not a violent person about "issues" LOL...just opinionated!

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

I am smiling...Oh life has a way of sidetracking you...just when you think everything is out of whack...clarity sets in like brilliant sunshine and suddenly you are back on the right track. Thanks to my Marine! "Ma..you are an exception to the rule...go for it, you are a great person, never accept less than the best". How does a son his age pick up on that? I think by looking through a young persons eyes instead of the rose colored glasses we wear sometimes.

People who purposely hurt others to feel better about themselves will in the end ultimately be the one's that hurt the most.

I am not a mean spirited person...I always try my best. Good intentions are just that, intentions...however, when good intentions are acted upon they become the best side of you. Giving is always better than receiving.

I am unique..just by the word itself.

A soulmate is someone who accepts you as you are and you accept them as they are...someone you can throw everything out to, and they can throw back the same.. including the kitchen sink... and still be loved for who you are and love them for who they are. Most don't get that..acceptance of anot

If you love something then set it free if it comes back to you....maybe it wasn't worth it!

I do love my quotes! LOL...some people...well they just don't get it..."a seed grows into something awesome, or strays like a weed..one that sticks out...says "hey, I am a weed...am I less?" No..the weed is sometimes better than the OAT..depends on how you view things.

"PATHS NEVER LOOK STRAIGHT. IT'S ONLY WHEN YOU LOOK BACK THAT YOU CAN BEGIN TO SEE THE TRAIL ...HOW ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER." ANN BRASHARES...yes I see clearly now!

Let's see...maybe a ride in a private jet to NYC at Rao's Italian Restaurant...then off to the hot dance spots...after that? LMAO...do people REALLY REALLY write what they want on a first date??? How about good old fashioned "hello" and talk. Seems to be the indicator of personalities. Get all the fakeness out of the way within an hour that's good enough for me.
"Walking on the shore with beautiful waves and wine"... sounds nice but...what's after that? When you have nothing to talk and share about what's the point?
