      - Please notice that my "Theme" is educational.  Well this is the garden I have planted in my front yard.  Given that we have this new "Theme" feature - I felt compelled to pick a theme and carry through with it.  I was going to give a seminar on gardening.  However, since my idea of gardening is to go to Target, buy a bunch of really pretty plants (...

  • The Last Time Canada boycotted the Olympics

    Wednesday, May 7, 2008 | An Educational story

    was in 1980 in protest of the USSR invading Afghanistan.
    I wonder if there are any athletes out there today who would be willing to take a stand like Jesse Owens did in Germany.

    Wednesday, March 11, 2009

    ANYWAY, I HAVE SOMETHING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT. THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS. I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW WE EXIST, WE ARE HUMAN TOO AND WE HURT WITH THE HWLPLESSNESS I CAN'T BEGIN TO DESCRIBE.

    Forums always have and always will have disagreements, fights, etc.  They ALSO will always have support, love, assistance, and kindness, if we make it so.

  • USA policy and torture.

    Wednesday, July 1, 2009 | An Educational story

    The biggest concern I h...
