TD's Blog (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/profile.php/blog/todirsa I hate to say it but there are more and more indications that we are heading for some real tough times. If things were not bad enough things are looking worse. Everyone keeps talking about that fact that the business has 2 trillion dollars in savings. What they don't tell you is that they also have nearly 8 trillion in debts. That's a 4 to 1 r...[Read Full Post] Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:59:31 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/747132 I continue to wonder why something that is suppose to do good does so much harm. I am talking about religion. America was founded by people who came to the New World in order to practice their beliefs without fear. The Pilgrims, Quakers, Amish, Catholics, Hutterites, and Mennonites all came so they could practice their beliefs in peace. None of them ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:30:14 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/747099 At my age everyday has become an adventure. I am in good health, but when you enter the beginning of the eighth decade of one's life each day brings a wonder. Some days you hear about the end of a life that ends too soon, other days you get to see something that has never happen before, or learn about what was once a mystery is now known. I re...[Read Full Post] Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:46:47 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/746981 Why is it that many of the people we put on pedestals tend to fall? Some slip off, some come crashing down. Some of them their fame is brief others last for years, but too often they end before we have seen their best. Yet others do quite well and even in their nineties still can bring joy to the world. I guess it is something that has been with us...[Read Full Post] Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:43:00 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/746910 I was supposed to get a scope done next Wednesday, but I canceled it for a couple of reasons. First my latest blood tests came back with flying colors and al the reasons Doc had ordered the scope were no longer valid. He still wanted me to have it "just in case" and I thought why not! Well two days ago I get my letter with instructions. I d...[Read Full Post] Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:18:20 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/746439 The market is booming, the Russians and Chinese deny the UN to do anything about Syria as people continue to die from the hands of their OWN government, and then Castro announces his two volume memories of his early life and Romney takes Nevada! What a Day! Pardon me if I don't get real excited by any of this. The market is just setting us up for ...[Read Full Post] Sat, 04 Feb 2012 20:57:30 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/746383 We have been in a bear market for the past 34 months, most Bears last between 36 and 48 months. So I figure by the time the market hits 13,000 it will be time for the Bear to act. When it does expect the market to drop to below the 6500 mark! If Obama is lucky it will be at the end of the year, but it is more likely to start around the time of the con...[Read Full Post] Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:17:25 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/746329 Finally there has been a study relating IQ with political beliefs and guess what they have concluded? Are racists dumb? Do conservatives tend to be less intelligent than liberals? A provocative new study from Brock University in Ontario suggests the answer to both questions may be a qualified yes. The study, published in Psychological Science...[Read Full Post] Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:11:43 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/746223 Got an email from a friend that relayed a story that made me think of Republicans and Democrats. Which wolf would you assign the Republicans to? Maybe we should stop feeding it! One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

While we have been watching the clowns called Republicans Syria has gone south, al-Qaeda has taken over Yemen, Myanmar is about to have an election, the Seals have rescued two kidnapped people in Somalia, Greece is still sending chills throughout t...[Read Full Post] Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:33:57 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/745994
