Always chasing the almighty dollar and forgetting about things that really matter like family and country. I will take another crisis to unite us, what a shame. But I must add that our government has changed as well and I have lost so much respect for many of our "leaders", another shame.Rykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424717988638341638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-50071922959387232752013-07-05T11:19:39.331-05:002013-07-05T11:19:39.331-05:00ME TOO!

I have seen my dad get scammed. He was a very bright guy, but dementia and paranoia have given him a different outlook on things. It is sad to see him fall for the person on the phone. Luckily, we caught one scam and hopefully there won't be another!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-32971104493395066672013-07-04T13:43:58.609-05:002013-07-04T13:43:58.609-05:00Enjoy the day!

The other night I was watching a rerun of 60 minutes with an interview of David McCullough, and he said something which I've been saying for years. Kids these days do not know the geography of our country. So sad... a generation or more with no knowledge of this important subject. But they sure know how to up/download their junk and every technological feat. I'll get off my soapbox now.<br />Have a happy fourth!<br />Peace,<br />MuffMuffiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542678482763101104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-7655665871983688712013-07-04T09:06:00.701-05:002013-07-04T09:06:00.701-05:00Basically we have stopped answering the phone.

I have forgotten a couple of the words, but I know most of it still. We were taught differently back then, weren't we? It truly is a different world today. Is it because the young people have never known anything else and have forgotten how fortunate we are? Probably.
