How 'bout Friday?

UN says eat less meat to curb global warming

I'm helping fend off Gore-ble warming and didn't know it. Neat. That beef looks good. I was trying to get Mr. Thorn to stop to pick up fixings for pot roast. Now I'm worried I will punch a hole in the ozone with my purchase.

Why is this really funny?

Poll: 70 percent in U.S. say things are going badly

Who came up with this silly poll? And who are the 30% that thinks things are going well? Are they drunk? I want to meet them. Maybe they could cheer me up on days when I am blue.

This global warming just gets worser and worser

If it's not enough having temps of 102 here in Cincinnati, now I have to worry about moose burps.

Belching moose add to global warming

(My kids use "worser", "gooder"....mutilating the English language they do. Ew, that sounded like Yoda.)

Home school. What will it take?

I've been beyond dissatisfied with the children's school this year. On one hand, I am thankful that my autistic son's are allowed to attend a Catholic school(my 2 cents - special needs kids should be accepted at Catholic schools if they are truly pro life. I'm sick to death of the "pro life only if they are normal" bunk) On the other hand, I despise things like my kindergartner being put through "Just Say No" to drug week. She had no clue what they were talking about and came out thinking "drugs are something you hide in your room". Nice. Then we had the forced(this was actually diocesan-wide) Virtus training for ALL parents. I won't go into what I thought of that but I have missed out on school parties, field trips and much more over that. The huge classroom sizes have been bad in the upper grades and the casualty of that was the kids with learning disabilities. My oldest son has fallen from honor roll to barely passing. They went from 16 kids per teacher to 31. Wow. Enough said. Now we pay the same price as the parents whose kids have 13-16 kids per teacher mind you. Then we have the indoctrination of global warming on my oldest. I had to "re-teach" weekly. Last week he got in the car and told me "That's because we descended from the apes." I almost had to pull the car over I was so hot. Re-teaching the days lies has become the norm.

So here I am at the end of the year faced with a hard decision I am sure many go through. I have to work because our medical bills for having special needs kids is so high. I work more than full time and the thought of home-schooling makes my head spin. The alternative is public school. This is gut-wrenching and so hard for me as I never imagined I would have a special needs child(who does), let alone two much less be forced to work to support the family. So this will take many prayers and and hoping God leads us where we need to be. It's very scary. Unless you have been where I am, know that I have thought through all the options and exhausted every one. My children's faith, safety and academic foundation is at stake and I just don't have the answer. I hope and pray that God does.

Practice what you preach...

In recent findings, Al Gore has been using quite a lot of energy. I linked to another report on the number of homes and energy usage in the past but this seems to have been much more thorough.

Gore's average monthly electric bill, the think tank says, is $1,359.

Gore paid a total of nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.

That is just insane. I don't think we have used that much in our 11 years of married life. Granted, I don't live in a mansion with a guest house but I'm still in shock. Click here for the full story: HERE.

Global warming. The new religion.

Commenting on this topic is a difficult one because it is extremely frustrating to see that science is now being determined by a "consensus" instead of fact gathering, historical data and truth. I found this site in my search for sanity called World Climate Report. The world, throughout history, has gone through a series of cooling and warming periods. Does this mean we are melting or going back to an ice age? If it does, isn't God in control? If people are in control of the earth being wiped from history, how does God figure into this "theory"? I have done some research and found some data on the “Little Ice Age” and the “Medieval Warm Period”. Information on the Medieval Warm Period can be found in various places over the Internet(which, for the record, Al Gore did not invent).


So why this sudden interest in global warming and its effects if the earth has been through this before and is still around? Because it will have the government with a tighter grip on our freedoms and our tax dollars. It is also indoctrinating our children with a belief that they can control the planet with the use or non-use of an aerosol can. In man's quest to believe he knows all, he shows signs he knows so little. God knows all and knows what our planet needs. He also knows how to keep us in orbit and how the pull of gravity can mean the difference between living with our feet on the ground and flying through the air. God created all and knows all and we can never truly understand, in this life, how delicate our environment can be. I am not for waste and careless living. But I care more about the killing off of God's children than the environment and it's destiny in human history. Trees can be replanted, waters can be cleaned and the ozone will survive. No one can bring back the millions of babies killed here and in China and in every society that values a selfish lifestyle over a precious human life. Yes, I am very oppinionated on this subject. Just some things to think about.
