The local Detroit NBC affiliate is doing a two-part story beginning tomorrow morning on 'Gas or God'. Churches are reporting, apparently, that Sunday donations are down about a third due to the messed-up economy and high gas and high food prices, to name but two things which have skyrocketed recently.
Other news programs, plus articles in the local newspapers, have mentioned that donations of money and food are way down at charitable places like Salvation Army, etc. while there has been a sizeable increase in the number of folks seeking assistance from such places.
In one of the webtv-only newsgroups there has been a very recent discussion concerning how, since times are so tough, only welfare recipients who can pass a piss test and US citizens should be entitled to food, clothing, medical help, etc.
As was pointed out in the webtv-only newsgroup by a poster, how in the world can you feed Mabel's (the US citizen) children and, at the sametime, watch Susie's (the welfare recipient who can't pass a piss test) and Maria's (the undocumented 'illegal alien') starve to death?
The US is waging two wars simultaneously, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. If our country has enough money to fight two wars then it has enough money to make certain that everyone--citizens, welfare recipients, undocumented guests--eat, stay warm and receive medical attention, no matter how crappy the economy gets.
Be good and be careful, take care, stay strong.

Saved by the bell! Okay, not the bell but saved by the incredibly
talented fellow who built the new website for me! I sent him one of
Tallulah's photos and he found a way to put it in the blog!
Okay, now isn't that a wonderful photo? I knew you'd like it! Lake
Superior is beautifull.

I am so disappointed! I really thought I had something for you yesterday and then it fell through. And you would have liked it, too.
What was it?
Well, you know my friend Tallulah, the one who lives in Marquette, Michigan? I've been telling you about her all winter. Like, how this was her first winter in the frozen tundra of the Upper Peninsula, as well as the longest, coldest, hardest winter up there in some years.
Okay, well, Tallulah has a digital camera. And to keep herself busy, and also because it's fun, she gets up at the crack of dawn and takes wonderful photos of the sun rising on Lake Superior. And incredible photos of deer, moose, all sorts of wild life.
She sent me one of her beautiful photos and I wanted to insert it in the blog so you could see it, too. Unfortunately, HSM (who does all of the computer stuff for the blog for me) couldn't do it. She can put jpegs(?) in, but not attached photos. Doggone it.
Be good and be careeful, take care, stay strong.

A gentleman caller on Friday asked me what, if any, of my personal items I sold. He didn't have internet access so he was unaware that there's a section on my website www.tawnyford.com listing each and every item I have to offer.
For those of you reading this, you are so lucky because you obviously have internet access and therefore you are able to check the page out for yourself!
Everything in my 'store' is mine. I bought it, or made it, and I would be thrilled to wear it just for you, then quickly seal it in a storagebag and mail it to you.
As you scroll through the offerings, some items are things you would expect--my panties, my bras, my stockings, my socks, my shoes, my garterbelts, etc. And some things are unique, I do believe, to me. The handmade wash cloths that I shower with, for example.
There is also somethig else that's a bit unique, or at least different. I'm not going to talk about it here but you'll know it when you run across it (smile). If you have any questions regarding this particular item, just email me at tawnyford@webtv.net and I'll be glad to explain it.
And if there's an item you're interested in but you don't see it listed, email me. Maybe I have one, you never can tell (smile).

I'm not much of a sports fan. I never played sports and I don't enjoy watching them on tv. But I did see some of the US Open this week.
I got a kick out of watching Tiger Woods at the end of Sunday's game, when he tied it up with Rocco Mediate on that last hole. Tiger was thrilled and it was fun to see him react that way with the double arm pump. And it was cute to see Rocco's reaction. He was like 'okay, I thought I had it won but you know how Tiger is, he can do anything' (smile).
I watched Monday's 19 holes, too. I wanted to see how it would all turn out. I mean, there was the number one golfer in the world, Tiger Woods, playing against what? number 156? Who'd have ever thunk it?
When the first 18 were finished and Tiger and Rocco were still tied up, I had to laugh because I figured Phil Mickelson and the rest of the usual contenders were scratching their heads and wondering 'how in the hell did this happen" and 'how come it's not me playing one on one with Woods'?
That last hole, the sudden death one, I truly think Tiger tried to let Rocco even up with him so they could play at least one more hole. Tiger, who I truly believe can hit the ball at will to wherever he wants, looked to be maybe 2 or 3 inches away from the hole. Tiger even fell to his knees like 'damn! I missed it' which is something I have never seen Tiger do. Not miss it, but fall to his knees. And with a bad knee, too.
But Rocco, well, he missed the hole. And that's not a bad thing, although I'm sure he would have loved to have won.
Rocco made history. He was number 156 in the world and he got to go an extra 18, plus sudden death, up against the best player in the world. He got to go where Phil Mickelson would have given an arm and a leg to go. Rocco got the biggest payout of his life, and he went up at least a hundred points in his ranking.
I think there's a lesson to be learned from all this.
