Jenny's American Slice

***I really wish I could just not care about politics sometimes. I have anxiety, lose sleep, and get really angry over it sometimes, like now, when the Democrats are trying to steal a couple of close elections. Ever notice that when they happen to find a few hundred thousand votes in a close contest, they always, ALWAYS, benefit the Democrat? Plus, they never find a bunch of votes in a contest that was not close. Amazing, right? The Left is doing its level best to chip away at the foundations of this country. Our voting rights and the sanctity of our elections is so important, and we need to be able to trust in the system. Meddling like this is unforgivable, and I again wonder why so many good people vote Democrat. I will contact the officials in Broward County and the election officials in Georgia, that's all I can do. I keep telling myself that it's really silly to worry so much over something I have no control over, and that in eternity this election won't matter a bit. ...

***It seems as though every election we say this is the most critical one in our history. Fact is, they're all important. I do think it's important to at least keep the Republican majorities in the House and Senate in order to continue the good things that have been happening since Donald Trump was elected. I don't pretend to know what is going to happen today, but it's difficult to fathom that Americans would reward the Democrats for their behavior for the past couple of years. The icing on the cake was the Kavanaugh debacle. Their attempt to destroy a good man and his family in order to further their agenda is unforgivable, politically anyway. But...again, I don't know what's going to happen. If we lose, though, I can tell you what will not happen. We will be upset and concerned about the future of our country, but we will not go into the pits of despair. We will get up tomorrow and go to work. There will be no "blood in the streets," as one Hollyw...

***Wow, this has been a slow week at Halo. I don't know if it's Fall Break or what, but traffic through the store so far this week has been slow to nothing. I certainly hope it picks up Friday and Saturday! Can't stay in business at this pace. ***Wow. Brain Cramps by Famous People Quotes made by famous people without much thought... On September 17, 1994, Alabama's Heather Whitestone was selected as Miss America 1995. Here's her answer to her question... Question: If you could live forever, would you and why? Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever." -- Heather Whitestone "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death a...

***I'm really tired of all the negative stuff going around. Here's some good news from the UK : A Belfast bakery run by evangelical Christians was not obliged to make a cake emblazoned with the message “support gay marriage”, the supreme court has ruled, overturning a £500 damages award imposed on it. The five justices on the supreme court – Lady Hale, Lord Mance, Lord Kerr, Lord Hodge and Lady Black – found the bakery did not refuse to fulfil Lee’s order because of his sexual orientation and therefore there was no discrimination on those grounds. The business relationship between Lee and Ashers did not involve people being refused jobs or services because of their religious faith, the judges added. Of course nobody should be forced to produce a product against their religious beliefs. The plaintiffs are not being denied something they can't get somewhere else. Good sense prevailed this time. *** In Texas - Cruz 54, O'Rourke 45.   Let's hope it stays...

***Oh my, July was the last time I blogged. I knew it had been a while, but good grief! Gonna try (again) to do better. We've been busy at the store, plus I have picked up another transcription office, so I don't have too much down time at the store any more. We've had a lot going on! Doing everything we can to promote our artisan store, plus keep our other businesses going. Mark has been very busy with his carpet cleaning business, which is a good thing! ***I am so very glad Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court, but the awful behavior of the Democrats makes me sick to my stomach. What they put that family through in the name of getting their own way is deplorable. Everything we've found out since they started this character assassination has been that NONE of Judge Kavanaugh's accusers can corroborate anything they've accused him of. Absolutely nothing. Yet, there are people out there who call him a rapist (which he was never accused of, even ...

***Yeah, I know...how many times have you seen me type that? I can't believe it has been going on a month since I last blogged. I've been very busy with the store ( Halo Handmade Inc. )  Plus, I got a couple of new transcription clients, so that reduces my downtime drastically! I do a lot of my work at the store during the slow periods. Things are picking up a bit at Halo, people are figuring out we're there and that we're not a secondhand store. We're having fun with it. ***Still having an ongoing struggle staying out of political arguments on Facebook. I am doing MUCH better, but still, sometimes I cannot resist popping off when I see something I think is really ludicrous. The last remark I couldn't stay away from was a woman claiming that conservatives aren't Christian. I'd never make the blanket statement that liberals can't be Christian, though there are a lot of things the Democrats do and things such as abortion that are a part of their plat...
