What does Strickland do to save Ohio? He takes away some very important things to the state. He wants to make a big cut to health, which we really don’t need. The biggest problem is he is wanting to take 227 million from the state library funds. That will put force small town libraries in Ohio to shut their doors.
Libraries are one of the most valuable resource that any town in America can have, and a lot of people will lose this.
In Preble County, Ohio, which is nothing but small towns, they will be forced to close every library in the county, unless they can come up with another strategy.
Is this really the answer to solve the state’s spending problem? I hope not for every town in Ohio’s sake. Every town deserves to have a library, especially for the kids who need them the most. There has to be another way for them to get their money.

When i was at my young age i can remember how responsible i am even if im just 9 years old.Because im the eldest among my 3 siblings at that time and they all boys.Im the one who take good care of them while my mother is in the market selling fish,and my father is driving tricycle.I am the one wash our clothes,prepare and cook food for us.And when my parents arrive the food is already ready.I can also play with my friends in my vacant time while my 3 little brothers still sleeping at the afternoon. At my young age i can remember that im already responsiblle,my parents depends on me with my brothers.Where you can find a 9 year old kid can cook there foods at home?And wash the clothes?For me its a big accomplishment at the young age im already helping my parents in my little way.Now that im already 30 years old still im being responsible to help my parents and 5 siblings financially.And i really love my FAMILY.

I Remember That…

Posted on June 16th, 2009 by Julie Hubbard in General

I was recently looking through a magazine and I came across an article focusing in things that I remember from my past. For instance, it pictured a hand water pump. My grandparents had one in their yard and my sister, cousin and I loved to pump the water.

It also showed a large, deep front porch, which my grandparent’s house also, possessed. Inside was a claw foot tub that at first I was afraid of, but later came to appreciate.

Another picture was of a milkman holding glass milk bottles. I remember thinking he had to get up very early to get the milk on the porch before we woke up.

In the basement was a hand wringing washing machine. My grandma never got her hands stuck in the wringer but I always worried she would.

I still miss many of these things and I am glad I got to experience this part of Americana.

The good ol’ tv days

Posted on June 13th, 2009 by hubbort in General

The television entertainment  was already considered a pop culture since way back the 60s decade. Shows like Mission Impossible, Combat, Star trek, The Saint and The Twilight Zone all made an impact to our boomer generation.   War scenarios, space exploration, the unknown and unexplained and the cold war are some of the subject matters related to these programs which was quite exciting during that time.  The 70s showcased a different trend with the proliferation of police and detective stories such as Starsky and Hutch, Kojak, Hawaii five-O, The Six Million Dollar Man, Charlie’s Angel, Shaft and yet get a dose of more space age with Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, Lost in Space and more of Star trek.  The 80s is the most diversified with the entry of  tv series and mini series or soap operas of serious human drama, and the emmergence of comedy sitcom.   Do you remember the Gioberti and the Channing families of ‘Falcon Crest’, The power hungry Ewing Family of ‘Dallas’ and its spin off ‘Knots Landing’, and the depressing Little House on the Prairie? How about the strangely wacky ’Mork and Mindy’, the family oriented ‘Different Strokes’ and ‘The Brady Bunch’,  teeny comedic ‘The Facts of Life’, the hilarious ’Three’s Company’, the misfits of ‘ The Greatest American Hero’. Not to mention CHiPs, The Man from Atlantis, Wonder Woman, and probably the mother of all medical drama series, St. Elsewhere.    The 90s sitcoms reinvent itself with techno inventiveness such as  Macgyver, Airwolf, Knight Rider, Remington Steele, The A-team and Blue Thunder. These boomer programs paved the way for more sensitive issued and funnier sitcoms like The NYPD Blues, Friends, E.R., Ally Mcbeal, The Practice, Will And Grace and more.  So much fun isn’t it. Entertainment was never this good.

There are so many baby boomers…

Posted on June 7th, 2009 by bruce lynch in General

There are so many different baby boomer years that have went on and that has been pretty much during thewar times that the united states have been involved into. They have called the 1940’s and then in the 1965-1975 those years and then in the 1990-1993, and then from 2001 thru until now there has been alot of babies that has been born. just look how many of the babies have been born by the hospitals.

Travel Boomers

Posted on June 6th, 2009 by hubbort in Retirement, Vacations

Survey shows that most of our retired senior citizens prefers to spend the rest of their time traveling, visiting exotic and exciting destinations.  But it should be less walking and a short vacations so as not to strain them physically. Its enough for them to enrich theirs experiences, a new taste of air perhaps, a new scenes to feast their eye on, new culture, foods, souvenirs and hospitality and accommodation.

There are plenty of travel agencies specializing on group travel for boomers.  Group travel is inexpensive, easy to organize yet equally exciting and senior friendly because of limited parameters.  These agencies understands the specific needs, the style and comfort of their pension powered senior clients.  They have much to offer, a cruise travel to the Carribean, the sun and beaches of  the Pacific, the old worlds of  Europe, the exotic hospitality of  southeast Asia, and so much more.

Cheers to the boomers! A fitting treat for the job well done.

Cherished Possessions

Posted on June 5th, 2009 by hubbort in General, Relationships

My parents started collecting long playing music albums or LP to the boomer generation and betamax movie tapes since i was a little kid.  These magnificent LP collection features artist like The Supremes, Gary Lewis and the PLayboys, Nat King Cole, The Beatles, Cascades, Abba, Frank Sinatra and The Four Aces.  The betamax collection includes movies like An Affair To Remember, Breakfast at Tiffany, Benhur, Cleopatra, The Towering Inferno, some Alfred Hitchcock films and some others from Audrey Hepburn.

Most of the LPs are still intact, but the phonograph player is no more. The only way for us to enjoy these collections is by acquiring the remastered audio compact disk or CDs or try do the digital transferring but i think it will be more  expensive than buying the remastered CDs instead. As for the betamax, most of it are available in VCD or DVD format disk. Even the black and white color movies can be remastered and turn to color. 

Lets help our parents in preserving their cherished collections. These things may be nothing for us, but to them, its priceless. We just have to learn to appreciate it.

This seems to be an area that a lot of people have trouble with. I have problems when it comes to people who obvisouly make more than my husband and I and yet they come around when we get paid and expect to borrow money. It’s none of my business what they do but I am not going to support anyone’s habbit whatever they may be or support them in any way, not when we have a family and bills to take care of our own. It’s kind of strange that like i said they clearly make more than we do but yet we manage to pay our bills provide for our kids and have money left over to last for the month, I think if they would stop their addicting habbits like cigerttes, drugs, gambling and whatever else it might be they might be able to pay their bills and actually have a little money left over. Yes its hard we struggle to but we have learn to do without things we have learned what’s important which is a descent place to live, food to eat and clothes to wear.

I never had luck with gardening. We live in a house which is situated in a partly wooded lot.I like gardening. We have been living in this house for the last fifteen years
and every year I used to plant vegetable garden.But in our backyard we have lots of deers and foxes.The deers eat most of the plants except hot pepper plants.
Nowadays I lost interest in gardening. Deers are a real big problem. One of my friend said to spray perfume on the plants, this will keep away the deers.But it didn’t help at all.

Being disabled stinks.

Writing a love letter

Posted on May 26th, 2009 by christine lynch in General

After you have been together for awhile or even if your married and have been for years there’s a lot to be said for writing a love letter. The fact that you are taking the time to express your feelings and write them down to him or her means and says a lot, you dont really hear of too much of that any more now a days and I dont really think it would be a bad idea to get started even a simple little note that says I love you can go a very long way.

The first kiss

Posted on May 26th, 2009 by christine lynch in General

That first kiss especially on the first date it’s a bunch of emotions all rolled up into one. The first kiss is something that is really kind of hard to explain, but all I can say is the two of you will know when the moment is right and then suddenly all the nervousness is melted away.

Body language says a lot without us even speaking a word, there can be a lot said especailly when your going out with someone for the first time or if you’ve only gone out with them a couple of times. You can very quickly learn how to pick up on how they carry themselves. When a person is relaxed and seems to be comfortable then there probably having a good time also if they seem to be truly focused on you or if they seemed to be wondering around with their eyes and not really paying attention to you that might be a warning sign.
