Things My Granddaughter Says

My granddaughter Shea, who is four, makes me laugh at the things that she says. One day her mother asked her if she was hungry. Shea says,"Yeah". So her mother ask her,"Do you want pizza for supper?" Shealyn looks at her mom and very seriously replies, "No that will make me wild! It will make me kind of crazy to have pizza in my belly." I laughed for hours after hearing this.

Respond to "The Dead Grandmother / Exam Syndrome" by Mike Adams

 In Reading Mike Adams essay “the Dead Grandmother / Exam Syndrome” he expresses his concerns for students losing family members . This is a hazardous health situation and mentally disturbing problem. Something needs to happen to stop the spread of relatives, especially grandmothers, from dying. I agree with Adams on this issue, the population will be extinct at this rate in the very near future.

The correlation between the higher grades and the lower death rate compared to the lower grades and the higher death rate show the picture. This makes it apparent that the students who do not do so well in school will make any excuse they can to get out of an exam. His solutions to the problem are unconventionally funny.

But I have to disagree with the whole essay. Last semester my mother-in-law passed away the second week of school. The week before exams my father-in-law passed and eleven hours later my brother’s wife passed. I seriously doubt that any of them worried about my exams.

Empty Nest Cooking

Many, many years I have cooked for my husband, children and parents. Now my husband drives truck, he's gone all week. My children moved out to conquer the world. My mother passed away and my father moved. I find it extremely hard to cook without making huge portions of food. Who wants to eat the same thing all week long? Not me! All I can say is thank God for restaurants!

Response: Einstein's An Ideal Service to Our Fellow Man

Albert Einstein wanted people to experience things that are impossible for us to imagine or understand. He was not a religious man, he looked at religion more like a tradition and did not think that it will solve societies problems. Einstein believed that people should be educated on how to behave in society, so that they can contributed to the well being of all humans and not for their own financial or personal gain. He thought that most people in society are wasting their lives away not reaching out to their fellow man.

I totally agree with his ideas of educating people on how to behave in our society. Treating and caring for other people and not worrying about our own personal gain is something we should all practice. Most people want to better themselves for their own finacial gain and not for the better of the world. The part that I disagree with is how he looks at God as not being the Creator of all. He cannot believe that "a god who rewards and punishes the objects of his creations" exists. I realize that their are different religious beliefs, I just don't agree with his view on religion.
