Daily Whine & Shine - Wednesday, September 2, 2009
by Marilyn Mackenzie
Whether you agree with the concept or not, everyone needs to be able to vent from time to time. That's especially true if you're one of the many who suffer from an invisible illness. We have whines and rants about pains, medical professionals and prescriptions, just to name a few. Perhaps our families listen; perhaps they don't. Even if they do, they get tired of our complaining, even if they claim to understand our struggles. Or if they don't get tired of our "negative energy" we think they do or will.
Do you have some celebration or victory you need to share? This is the place.
What's happening in your world today? Are you grumpy about something? Or so angry you could spit? Tell it here. Here at the Daily Whine & Whine, it's acceptable to rant, vent, complain, stomp your feet, throw a tantrum, and shout, "Oh shuckie darn!"
Wait! Don't go away! Do you have some good news to share? Great. This is the place for that as well. If you're celebrating, dancing, and yelling, "Yippee Skippy!" please share. Sometimes knowing about someone else's happiness gives us a bit of hope for ourselves.
Whether you're shouting, "Oh shuckie darn!" or yelling, "Yippee skippy!" - this is the place to be. Pull up a rocking chair, and let's talk about it.
Now, let's celebrate!!!

Food for Thought:
There is no nonsense so arrant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
You will find that the State is the kind of organization which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly, too. John Kenneth Galbraith (1908 - 2006)
The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop. P. J. O'Rourke (1947 - )
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong. Voltaire (1694 - 1778)

It tells teachers what do and say before, during and after the speech. I am not liking this at all.

You have a problem with everything not written by you---have you heard of PROTOCOL? Every POTUS sends out a protocol prior to a visit which is developed by the FBI and CIA.
