As time passes the people around me are getting more concerned about my single status. I have become the project of a few. This lady at my workplace who is really sweet decided that she would do her best to set me up with someone. I decided that I would entertain the idea because hell you never know and I have been trying the same routine for years so why not try something new.

Good Morning ladies, I hope everybody is in good spirits and doing well. I just walked in from work put on my coffee and I just was thinking, when was the last time I checked to see if there is a more affordalbe plan for me with the services I have, you know like the light company do they have a better plan for me or the phone or cable or cell phone companies, oh they gave a decent plan when they were trying to get my business but, what have they done for me lately? I have been a loyal customer for a while and I see the deals to get in, but once your in and have my loyality what are they doing to make me stay? so my plan today is to see what it is that they can offer me to make me want to stay loyal to their services, if they don't have a plan that meets my loyality then I might have to click my heels three times and ease on down the rode.

Seems like everywhere I turn these days there is career, interviewing and job search advice. The advice is on tv, in the careers section of local newspapers and everywhere else. Nothing wrong with that. I am just surprised that in an economy as dismal as the one we're in the advice is nothing that would make some job seekers stop and think twice. It is all so basic and sometimes borders on being an insult to the reader's and listener's intelligence. I wonder why the career information is so light on substance when this is a perfect time to offer more meaningful information to so many folks who are out of work and others who are overworked in their jobs making up for too many layoffs, etc.

Health care was a mess in 2009. It has become a bigger mess in 2010. Democrats and Republicans all share responsibility for tripping over themselves and posturing at the expense of all Americans. Israel is not always right. Why is everyone always afraid to call a spade a spade? What the Israelis and Palestinians do is none of my business and it will never be my business. Barack Obama did not cause the oil spill. The folks who blame him for the BP oil spill are from Mars; so is the CEO of BP. What jobs? What transparency in government is there? What economic recovery?

First I would like to offer many blessings to all those suffering after the flooding and I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. This is more of a commentary about the press. I watched some videos of the flooding on YouTube and it was reminiscent of Katrina. The difference is that the flooding was so wide spread, which makes it worse than Katrina in numbers. What I wonder is why wasn't the coverage the same for this disaster? The press controls information. There was little to no movement of charities. The outpouring that went to Haiti was non-existent for Tennessee. Obama is taking some heat for not "doing enough" and some are calling it his Katrina. He declared it a disaster and had more federal support in there faster than any disaster in recent history. The next day to be precise. Where was the media? Where was the call to aid? When does the apology go to the survivors? The media is a waste.

I just saw this movie in it's entirety. It moved me because I can relate to her more than any noted figures. I am from Texas and yes most parts are still racist. What moved me is because she was so strong even when they tried to take her kids away. As I was watching I was so proud to be a black woman because it reminded me of our strength,endurance, and unconditional love that we provide in all situations. We are always doting on the good works of Oprah or Rosa Parks, not to discredit their works, but what about our unsung heros? I grieve for our young people because they can look at this and nothing sparks in them to change. But like they always say with age comes wisdom. We are going to always search for world peace but sadly it will never be, but it doesn't mean we should stop being good people. I think that everyone should watch this movie and see if it doesn't move you to tears.
