Ramblings

UNITED STATES—Someone recently brought to my attention the factoid that women go to the doctor much more than men. And unfortunately I had to agree with that notion. Females tend to go to the doctor for regular check-ups and if anything out of the unusual pops up on their body or they feel slightly off. So what gives? What is...

UNITED STATES—Oh, the 2016 presidential election is shaping up to be one of the most coveted battles in years. On one side there is close to 2 dozen candidates for the Republic party, on the other side you have a few for the Democratic party, notably former Senator and First Lady Hillary Clinton. I am amazed by how many people...

UNITED STATES—I would say to a degree I’m a bit of a news junkie, but for reasons that suits a purpose in everyday life: I need to know what’s happening around me. I know so many people who seem to blow a casket about the mere idea of watching the news on the tube, the internet or in print....

UNITED STATES—Anyone who happens to be a child of divorce understands very well the stress that can be created for the child or children and the parents. When I was about 7, my parents got divorced. To say that it was devastating would be an understatement. For a child to go from seeing a parent every single day, to...

UNITED STATES—What is the one thing most of us want more of, but have difficulty actually getting it? Any guesses, have you all figured it out? It’s not money, its sleep! Sleep is a vital element to the human body, even if many of us would like to believe that is not the case; the body needs rest to...

UNITED STATES—Speaking the truth can sometimes be a good thing, but at other times it opens the floor for debates that are never ending. When it comes to speaking your opinion, every American does so without even considering what they are saying before actually saying it. I will argue some people are a bit hesitant to speak the truth...

UNITED STATES—With the summer season upon us; it’s time for a road trip! Road trips are family traditions for many of us, some can be loads of fun, but others can be disasters. I’ll argue with any road trip the planning begins months in advance. Very rarely does a road trip just happen on the fly. Why is that?...

UNITED STATES—Last week the United States Supreme Court made an epic decision. The nine Supreme Court judges made a ruling regarding the state of marriage in the country. In a 5-4 vote, the justices ruled that marriage is a right that all Americans are entitled to. So precisely what does that mean? It means that entire notion of marriage being...

UNITED STATES—Insanity. It’s not a word that is easy to describe, but it’s when a person suspects he or she is losing their mind. Stress is a large component of insanity in my opinion. Some weeks are more stressful than others. Last week, my brain was put through a mental workout. Not only did I have to deal with...

UNITED STATES—The recent scandal involving NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal’s race has a ton of people in uproar. Here is a woman that from most standards of the American eye appears Black on the outside, but happens to be White. She could indeed pass for Black, but many have argued why? This brings up yet another issue regarding the question...
