I was born on Friday the 13th, so naturally I've had a life-long fascination with the question, Why is Friday the 13th Unlucky? All of Christianity is solely based on the betrayal, torture & crucifixion of Christ. Said to be the 13th man at the table of The Last Supper, he was betrayed by his closest friends & allies. There are many Theories on how the NUMBER 13 came to be viewed as unlucky. Having the dubious distinction of being born on Friday the 13th, I have been interested in this subject my entire life. History Channel "The Knights Templar & the Freemasons Some people may remember a little movie called The Davinci Codes." This was the entire basis of the movie based on the book by D
Being a Life & Health Insurance agent who was Born on Friday the 13th, Halloween has always been a happy time of year, including study of World Funerary Customs in recent years. https://www.revolvingdoorhr.com/single-post/2018/04/17/World-Funerary-Customs Safe alternatives to Halloween Trick or Treating has sadly been a topic of discussion for years.

Loved this message from Giffords.org with Retired General Stanley McChrystal so much I thought I would officially put this in a Blog to share as far & wide as possible. As the Nation is still healing from yet another Hate Crime in our own country, these words of wisdom need to be heard by as many US VOTERS as possible. This is Emotional Intelligence. This is Common Sense. This is COURAGE. Congresswoman Gabielle Giffords PERSONIFIES the word COURAGEOUS. Surviving an Assassination attempt that nearly took her life at a Political Rally, Gabby Giffords is a SURVIVOR. Please support her efforts to bring sanity back to our city streets & CIVILITY to our Political Process. Give here, at www.Gifford
"Yes, I'd Like to Thank the Academy: How to Tame the Red Carpet in YOUR Office" is an unflinching look at what Electronic Communications of all kinds has done to our civilization, beginning with the #ApprenticePresident. Civility has gone right out the Window with bullying on Facebook, bullying on Twitter, bullying on Social Media platforms of all kinds. With respect to our Elected Officials, who WORK FOR "We the People" we expect them to be able to rise above the fray, to be MOTIVATED FOR THE RIGHT REASONS for doing what they do to Vote on our behalf. Many new voters don't realize that the Public is welcomed into the Voting Process once every four years for Presidential Elections & every tw
The WORLD stands with The Tree of Life Synagogue against the terrible Hate Crime committed by a radicalized Rabid Trumpeteer who snuffed out the lives of 11 innocent souls in their place of worship on the Sabbath yesterday. This, after 7 days of terror by yet another radicalized Trump supporter who attempted to assassinate our most prominent Democratic Leaders that are outspoken critics of Trump. How did the #DividerInChief respond? With a STUNNING ATTACK ON THE VICTIMS. Just as he defended the Radicalized Mob in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us," saying that "there were some fine people on both sides," he seems to be incapable of doing the right thing EVER. Which way does
UPDATE How anyone can find a Bully to be charismatic is stunning in & of itself, but apparently the mass of humanity that attends Trump rallies see no problem with his aggressive speeches. It is actually unfair to demonize political opponents, but this may be case of "if the shoe fits." All last week when a radicalized Trump supporter terrorized prominent Democratic officials including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton & news organization CNN, rather than reach out & call them personally, rather than tone down his divisive rhetoric at campaign rallies, rather than trying to calm the public's fears the #ApprenticePresident chose to attack the victims from his bully pulpit. There is actually evide
I was mortified yesterday to learn that some Straight-Party Ballots here in Texas defaulted to the wrong selection for US Senator. Channel 13 had a story about a glitch in the Voting Machines that caused this mistake. Not everyone keeps their green voting slip with their personal voting code, but for those that do, we need to find out if there is a way to Verify our selections. For those who have not yet voted, this is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: check your selections - ESPECIALLY if voting Straight-Party Ticket BEFORE PRESSING THE CAST BALLOT BUTTON. The mistake can be corrected as long as you still have your choices on the screen & may require the assistance of an Election Clerk. I intend to ma
The #ApprenticePresident who bullied his way into office is UNFIT FOR OFFICE. we need to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove a LUNATIC from the highest office in our land. "@RealDonaldTrump" is CERTIFIABLY DELUSIONAL as we can all see with our own two eyes every time that man opens his mouth. To claim that the "dishonest Media" needs to clean-up their act when in reality, they are SHOWING HIS OWN WORDS - is just STUNNING BEYOND BELIEF. Don Lemon on Donald Trump's HYPOCRISY Gov.

For those that have been living under a rock, Early Voting for the Mid-Term Election is underway with Record Voter-turnout. Our most basic right as US Citizens is our Right to Vote.

UPDATE. While the #ApprenticePresident with his lynch mob of bullies may have had his "crowd-size" wish granted by the Texas Gun Lobby & the NRA at his Houston Campaign Rally for Ted Cruz yesterday, we Democrats were busy outside in the streets giving him one great big giant "FU" in the nicest way possible: exercising our Right to Vote. Texans love their Guns. Even in the face of the EPIDEMIC of Gun Violence in America, the NRA still has a strong hold on the State of Texas. While the "Rabid Trumpeteers" with their collective amnesia of how the #ApprenticePresident BULLIED HIS WAY INTO OFFICE, many of them them sat there with their signs "Jobs, Not Mobs" listening to his fear-mongering vows

The #ApprenticePresident and his lynch mob of Bullies will be rallying here in Houston on the first day of early voting, in a desperate attempt to help #LyinTedCruz hold on to his US Senate Seat – not if Texas Democrats have anything to say about it. Senator Cruz has the unmitigated GALL to air a new Ad claiming that "He LISTENS to us." Does he believe his own LIES??? When the #ApprenticePresident managed to bully his way into office vowing to "Repeal & Replace ObamaCARE," that motivated me into action to get off the sidelines & do everything humanly possible to #SaveOurCARE. I called Ted Cruz. I Emailed Ted Cruz. I participated in online Senate Testimony.on Facebook during the Senate Financ
Of course the Governor's position is State-wide & everyone's District. We do however, have two long-standing ICONIC Houston-area Representatives who are up for Re-Election & need our help to keep their seats. These people have a long history of High Ethical & Moral Standards as well as the Dignified & Civilized behavior that holding positions of Elected Public Office DEMANDS. The #ApprenticePresident will be here on the first day of #EarlyVoting on Monday, steam-rolling in on his #BullyTrain that enabled him to Bully his way into office. He continues to speak of DIGNITY during his Campaign Rallies - a word that should not even be in his vocabulary & one that he has NO RIGHT TO UTTER - EVER.
Early Voting for the MidTerm Election begins Monday October 22 - November 2. So much is at stake, including #ObamaCARE #Medicare #Medicaid & #CHIP Make a plan now to get to the Polls & "bring your Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Son, Daughter, Husband, Wife & everyone you know with you." I did quite a bit of work during the March Primaries, beginning with my friend & yours, Penny Shaw. Penny is a real go-getter, with so much energy, compassion & motivation to do what is right for the people of Harris County. The 2016 Election was so motivating for so many of us who were spurred into action by STUNNED DISBELIEF of what had just happened, I got off the sidelines & began looking for where I
UPDATE: Russian Interference in our Electoral Process has nothing on the Election tampering on TBN. If Christian TV INSISTS ON PLAYING POLITICS, we should DEMAND that they PAY TAXES. While it seems that the words "Separation of Church & State" don't appear anywhere in the Constitution, there are Legal Precedents that have been interpreted by the Supreme Court to that effect. There are, however, laws governing Paid Political Advertising. Federal Elections Commission It seems to me that Christian TV is one great big giant Paid Political Ad, Donald Trump being interviewed on Christian TV by Mike Huckabee IS NOT Separation of Church & State.

As the Grandmother of a child who was almost killed by his doctors & as an Insurance Professional who does this for a living, I have more than a couple of opinions on providing Health CARE to the American People. Peak Enrollment Season for all kinds of coverage is upon us as is the start of Early Voting next week.

We need to respond by flooding the Ballot Boxes with votes for our Democratic Candidates on that day in a great big giant "FU.")

The Mid-Term Election is right around the corner. The biggest part of the National Debate over Health CARE is how to pay for it. The Federal Budget has enough funding NOW to provide Health CARE for ALL US Citizens.

Yesterday, I asked for an "Amen GIRLS." Well, here it is. MISOGYNY in the Church has been from the beginning in Genesis 3, & I for one HAVE HAD IT. "They" say Religion & Politics are two subjects people shouldn't talk about. Well, look at what silence has gotten us - look what "They" are doing Does this look like Separation of Church & State - or more like a BULLY PULPIT? This is OUTRAGEOUS & INFURIATING.
