The Great American Hope, Still Hope

Yes, It has been some time. I retain the hope. But, it is looking pretty bleak. I worry so about our elderly folks. No, the ones who worked their lives, thirty to forty plus years. Saved their money, watched what they bought, paid cash, and even helped others along the way. As Winter begins to set in, I wonder how they will afford to stay warm. Right, cut the thermostate back to sixty, layer up, night caps, plenty of quilts and hot water bottles. The price to fill the standard 275 gallon oil tank this Winter will be? And, how many tanks will a couple burn, even with cut backs. It says somewhere to do your good deeds and then shut up about them. Too many need to call their agents, the AP, so that all the world knows what "good' they have done. This Christmas, just by calling your oil company, you can find a 94 year old couple who could use a few gallons. Just a thought to keep the hope real.

Great American Hope & The Rest of the World

We all have websites that we admire, that we think are serving the world. I refer to one for information a lot. I will share mine if you will share yours. Mine is www.focusas.com. They provide information to parents and professionals dealing with troubled teens. Not necessarily, the inner city youth so much, as the children of the more educated and certainly those with a higher income. It is these children we are loosing. It is these children who are dropping out of school due to boredom. Please hit it and send your buck to them. Then post yours....
