Nolan Smith: Bringing Showtime To Duke | ThePostGame

You know it.  I'm an avid Duke fan. And they just made me smile Wednesday night.

This is a good read on the "Man of the Game",  Nolan Smith.

Nolan Smith: Bringing Showtime To Duke ThePostGame

We got FLOCKED!

Ha ha ha!

I get up Sunday morning about 2:30 am and look out my window as I always do. Deer find my front yard from time to time. But what I found were several pink and blue colored flamingos in my yard.  See the pic.

I could swear they were moving. But it was a bit early for coffee and I didn't have my glasses on. I didn't think anything of it until I got up and found metal sticks in my yard but no birds! Being who I am and knowing the amount of people I upset, I was startled.



The  Birds



When hubby woke up, I told him that “strange happenings” were occurring. And I was concerned. But then my daughter proceeded to tell me she caught some kids planting them in our yard. Huh? And then I found it, the note that said “You’ve been Flocked.”

Then I googled flamingos and up came the Sanford Herald's article:

"MEET THE FLOCKERS: Pink flamingos appearing in yards as part of SLHS fundraiser"

For some reason I missed reading the Herald that day. But what a cool idea! Yea, it’s a cool one now that I know I’m not being stalked! Ha.

And to the responsible party, well, you know what they say about payback! In case you don’t, just google it. I can hardly wait.

Seriously folks, you have to laugh at yourself sometimes and this was a good one.  And so is the new Rod Stewart video, TSA Sexy, on the right hand side.  Whew!

But that’s not what my column is about today. I need your help. I need your input on a serious matter that is dear to my heart. It’s dear to my heart because it involves the military. Let me state it right now that no one in my family is currently in the military. My father-in-law served in the Air Force.

For some time now, I have had a heavy heart about our men and women who put their lives on the line for us. It seems the liberals have it out for them. They think nothing of “misplacing” their absentee votes. They think nothing of conveniently forgetting to send out absentee ballots for them to fill out. And the entire system is set up to do nothing but “disenfranchise” them.

So I can’t stand it anymore. And I am determine to get the ball rolling on finding a better solution. These people DIE, yes DIE, for us. They die for you, whether you are black, white, young, old, liberal, or conservative. They will die fighting for their country and not even blink an eye. They are the reason I can sit here and write these words.

That being said, please help us. Dean and I have contacted Senator Burr’s office and will be traveling to DC soon to discuss what legislation we can get pushed through to stop the assault on their rights to have their votes counted. But we have to have a game plan.

We will schedule time with Renee Elmers as well, because legislation gets written in the House. So we want to do the right thing.

As I stated, we have a couple of ideas. There are options:

1)Put voting machines on the installations abroad.

2)Institute internet voting.

After all, I would trust our military to be honorable and faithful in executing it. Wouldn’t you?

But I want to hear from you. What ideas do you have? And would you be willing to write letters to Renee and Burr supporting our efforts?

I mean, are you willing to die for your country like our men and women in uniform are?

You can do your part by supporting our effort.

Let me know.  Write me at:

I can’t wait to hear from you.

Repeal the Bill! Now!

Editor's note:  Congress is expected to return to repealing ObamaCare this week!

Happy New Year! 

It’s back to blogging time. And yes, I do have an awesome blend in my cup today. It’s from Southern Season and called Peru Valle del Santuario! Goodness, I haven’t had this smooth of a cup of brew in a very long time. It’s worth the drive to liberal-mecca Chapel Hill to get some.

I just started my last, hopefully my last, semester of school. Two classes, albeit not easy ones, Strategic Management and Advanced Stats, and I’m a graduate. I’ve wanted my bachelor’s degree pretty much all of my life. I just didn’t take advantage of earning it without having a mortgage, kids, grandson, fulltime job, etc, when I should have. And I don’t expect it to be smooth sailing now but when there’s a light at the end of long dark tunnel, it makes the journey sweeter. Do you ever feel that way about some things in your life?

Anyway, I’ve had a nice long break to observe the holidays, have fun with the grandson, play my dulcimer and to watch the new members of Congress and local boards start their journeys. And I am none too pleased with some things I am seeing. But I will lay low on the locals until next time. As for Congress, please save me the crying eyes, the “let’s get along and sit together in the state of the union address”, the we have to have extra security from our constituents! Ugh. Get on with the people’s business like

 Repealing the bill!

So I now ask, “Will America ever be able to find herself out of the “ObamaCare” tunnel?” I’m not too sure. I’m seeing polling data that the American people are cooling on the “universal healthcare” mammoth. Of course, knowing what I know now about how polls and stats are more skewed than you would believe, I wonder who’s lying now? Majority of the data we are fed is purely bullcrap. I am sorry but that is the truth. Even when it comes from the right. Do your own research, friends.

 Don’t believe everything your party, friends, or the media feed you.

We’re starting to see now what Nancy meant when she said, “We have to pass the bill to see what’s in it.” In other words, give us the ok to move forward and we’ll write it to fit the moment. That’s exactly what is happening. The DHHS Secretary is exempting everyone she can except me and you. Why’s that? This was our answer to “kumbaya”, “freedom”, “love for everyone” except it was mandated. So if it’s fine for you and me, why not McDonald’s, the unions, etc? I’ve asked that before but no one has ever answered.

Yesterday, while researching for a paper, I came across some of the details that are in ObamaCare. BTW – Bobby Etheridge hates that word. He told me personally it was disgusting. I wonder how disgusted he is now! Ha.

Back to ObamaCare and it’s details:

Here’s a summary of the new tax hikes. When you are through reading, I sure would appreciate someone explaining to me how the citizens are going to be able to feed themselves once these hit us.  Keep reading....

So what's the next move Lee County Board of Education and Jeff Moss?

I'm piggybacking off of the Lee County's Top Political Blog. 

Whatever the original intent was has been lost. Thanks to so-called leaders in our county.

This is quite damaging in my eyes!
