Current Event…Deaths from winter storms.

countrybumpkin18 — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 15:20:48 +0000

The ice storm that we have been having is the cause of 41 deaths. Our roads here in Texas have been pretty bad. Rain has come and go for the past three days. Then Sunday night tempertures dropped to below 25 degrees. Roads were slick and many people lost there lives. They said that 41 people lost their lives yesterday. We needed the rain, but definitely not deaths. Tell me what you think and what you would do in a situation like that.

The Presidential Address

countrybumpkin18 — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 15:21:55 +0000

Wednesday Bush gave his Presidential Address. He wants to send 20,000 additional soliders to Iraq. He apologize for the non-satisfactory of those who are not satisfied with the direction of our strategy in Iraq. Bush revised the war plan and planned to send 21,500 troops to Baghdad. I think that we should just leave everyone alone and come home. And when they as if they need our help then we will go back, but we dont need to loose any more of our soliders. I honestly hate discussing politics because they upset me. Tell me what you thin kshould happen with our troops.

Foreign Exchange Student

countrybumpkin18 — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 15:12:20 +0000

If I had the chance to become a foreign exchange student, I would take the offer in a heart-beat. I would pick to go to Jos, Nigeria. Why? Because I have some cousins there that are doing missionary work. I think that haveing a country girl like me would be something very different to them! Of course I would have to go for test and I would have to get all the flu shots and HIV and AIDS shots before I left. Other wise I think living in Nigeria would be an exciting adventure for me! Tell me where you think it would be fun to live to be a foreign exchange student!

Much Love,

Current Event… Drugs and a Brick Wall.

On November 1 a young boy by the name of Keith Witherspoon died. This became a shock to me because I had grown up with his sister. He was like an older brother to me. When I read the article I was appaled because if the rehab center in Dallas had excepted him he would have lived. One night he got angry and ran away in over- dosed on “cheese” in a tunnel in Mesquite. Keith went by the name “Tooter”. In the tunnel that he died in was writen R.I.P Tooter. I know his family is going through alot of pain. I miss and loved him as much as his own mother and father did.

Should cell phones be allowed on in school??

countrybumpkin18 — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 15:40:32 +0000

Do you think cell phones should be allowed on in school? Well I do. One: you might not own a watch so you can look at your phone. Two: Not everybody can afford a calculator so you can use your phone! Your phone should stay on silent and not to be used but with permission you should be able to have it out and turned on in your pocket. Comment and tell me what you think!!

My Families Christmas Traditions!

countrybumpkin18 — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 15:27:04 +0000

Every Christmas all my family comes over to my grandmas house on Christmas Eve night. Then that night we go to her church for the Christmas candle light service. Then we go back to my grandmas house and sit around and talk about pasts Christmas’s. Then Christmas morning we wake up and eat some breakfast. And then the very best part…opening presents!! After most of the presents are open my grandma gets in the kitchen and starts making the Christmas lunch. Christmas at our house really isn’t all that great but it’s a real fun time for all of the family. And now that we have three new grandkids it’s going to be super fun! That’s my wonderful Christmas traditions!!

Much Love,

Struggles in Turkey

The link I chose is talking about the struggle in Turkey. It really doesn’t have much affect on my town, but what they are going through is something that we wouldn’t have to go through. Turkey is known as a bridge between the East and the West. Now religion is getting in the way of the whole separation thing and so is state and leadership with a new Islamist leader. We wouldn’t have to be separated because of our religion. My town is cherished by every one here and it’s like a world of it’s own so we would most defiantly not want that to happen to us!

Read and tell me what you think!!

Much Love,
