What is with all the snarkiness on Facebook lately? I have seen more statuses advertising that they were going to delete friends and I just don’t get why that’s necessary. Not the deleting part; delete away if that’s what you want to do. But what’s with the need to advertise it first, especially when it’s […]
Apparently Mother’s Day is just another day to say “screw you” to me. Not one of the three children still living here even remembered it was Mother’s Day until it was pointed out to them. I didn’t even hear from the fourth until moments ago, although his friends wished me a happy day HOURS before […]
I am so ridiculously sick of being harrassed and threatened and warned, just because of the things I feel or believe in and have the apparent audacity to verbalize. I guess I feel that I am a big girl, I can feel however I want without recrimination. Disagree with me all you want, argue with […]

This is an open letter to those military haters out there that seem to think it is an entertaining sport to kick us when we are potentially down. Let me make some things perfectly clear. I love my country, and I love the Army. I would never give up any part of my life, including […]
NOTE: Parts of this blog were lated quoted and used in a news report on the subject at Newsy.com. Please scroll to the end for the video. There are so many things about this that bother me. Not the least of which is that it is affecting soldiers and their famiies at all. What kind […]
I am pretty sure that dwarves have opened an unauthorized condominuim in my head.
