Part Time Pregnant

Hey guys! Yeah it's been a while and my excuse is - are you ready for this? Okay - I couldn't think of anything to write! Love my own excuse....   Well I do have some soulful insights that I'm sure  you can't wait to hear about:  Now let's see - Oh, here they are:  The trick in life is to find a place, a job, a role, a marriage or partnership and family as well as a position in society that allows you to be who you really are and remain authentic to yourself.  Now I'm getting warmed-up!  So the next one is about "luck"  It's when opportunity meets preparation ( Don't agree? Well mother told you NOT to throw those chips around the gambling table!)   On aging - Some people are old at 30 - oldness happens when you don't have or lose sight of your dreams. Our lives are as much shaped by decisions as anything else. I believe that at every moment you are making at least three decisions - what you are going to focus on, what does it mean and what you're going to do about it. The difference between people is HOW they make those decisions as well. Okay, I've had enough of this spiritual crapola. Got a real serious dilemma about something that's come up during the political race in the U.S.  One candidate stated he is pro-life always! - however FOR abortion in cases of rape etc., Now, what my problem with this is: then he's FOR abortion - like being pro-choice because you are either for or against it no matter what the reasons are. It's like being half pregnant - how does that work?  I'm outta here pondering the meaning of life (again)....  See 'ya when I see 'ya.

Selfish Stem Cells

Hey folks! It's been a while but here I am. Starting off with some serious stuff that Mountain Mama can't let go of. Look, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs - and so am I. There has been lots of information out there in the last few years about the pros and cons/do's and dont's of stem cell research. But what it boils down on why it's not widely used now seems to be religion and funding. The technology is falling into place as I write this, but certain  do-gooders in society fail to see how much this advanced research can help millions of people now and future generations with spinal injuries and diseases we never even heard of. It's like a miracle! Yes, I said HELP people - that's what I thought religion was all about. It is a very complex issue, but in my pea brain it sounds  SELFISH  to me. Maybe I'm more spiritual than religious but I would fight for ANY technology that I thought would help the masses. Already much time has been wasted by our elected officials (as screwed-up as you can get) with all of their posturing and bluffing. Who do they think they are - God? How dare they play around with potential cures for severe dieases in the name of religion. How about the hapless taxpayers who are funding endless wars in places that will never, ever have peace ( just check the history books on this), and  will never see the results of them helping people like they would want to. What the hell is going on? Where did common sense and good morals go to?
Now with this said, I can't think of anything cute or funny to say - so I'll end it for now....  but I'm here for you  -  drop in anytime 'ya all.  Bye
