Change is not always good!

Many people have been taken by Obama and his eloquent speech and declaration of change, but I can not stomach what his change entails, McCain may not be my ideal president, But he is by far the lesser of two evils. Read this-   indifferent to the death of the unborn (Witherspoon Institute)

 Obama has promised that "The first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act" creating the guaranteed "fundamental right" to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. He also opposed the ban on partial birth abortions. If you know anything about partial-birth abortions and the disgusting, horrific act it is and to know Obama supports it says what kind of a person he is. He also opposed legislation to protect babies who are born alive after an unsuccessful attempt to abort the child. He would rather they be put on a shelf to die than give them medical help. Knowing these things you realize Obama is favoring what is literally a form of infanticide. I am sorry but the idea of these innocent babies being harmed so "young woman aren't punished" makes me sad, that this is becoming acceptable in our society. A baby is never a punishment only a blessing. And a woman should never feel like she has no choice she always has the choice to engage in sex or not to(unless in instances of rape or incest) and the choice to place the baby in adoption or raise the baby. Abortion cannot be acceptable and do not let the world convince you other wise.

The Quirks of our Lives

So Colt tagged me awhile back and though I have loved reading everyones quirks I have felt a little apprehensive about divulging mine. Since I tagged Colt and he complied. Fair is fair.

Quirk 1-  I am not sure how to explain this I am scared of knives you know when someone is cutting food and they are talking and then in conversation they kind of just hold the knife and its pointing at you. It makes me incredibly uncomfortable and if I can I leave the room, if its Steve I ask him to kindly put the knife down.

Quirk 2- I can not sleep next to a nightstand I just envision rolling over and hitting the bridge of my nose on it. If I have to I put a pillow over it.

Quirk 3- This may be a weird on but I like to push my nose down so I can smell my face lotion I guess I do it a lot because June has started doing it too. (my nose does not seem to have much cartilage in it so this is possible)

Quirk 4- The first thing I do every morning is go into every room and open the blinds/curtains to let the daylight in. I'm always perplexed when people have theirs closed during the day, and it reminds me of my childhood and my days of living in a lightless dungeon (julie will know what I am talking about).    

Quirk 5- I love to count. I love to count in number patterns. I love to count change(money), train cars, palm trees, my steps when I walk, anything I can think of.

Quirk 6-  I love to make sound effects! I make them while I am driving, changing Clydes diaper, walking, going up stairs(and counting the stairs at the same time). These sound effects are anything from my car schreeching while I do a pretend peel-out in my car to bombs exploding as I run up stairs. The kids enjoy it but, I know it won't be enjoyable to them when they are teenagers and they have the Mom who picks them and their friends up from a church dance and does a pretend peel-out as we leave the church parking lot.

I tag Julie Hoke one of the Quirkiest people I know!
