This morning came as no surprise…yes I knew it would come I just was not ready. The sun was up and I was a little on the cold side…seeing as how my bride had turned the AC unit down to keep her cool and it had worked.
I made some coffee and took a shower and then by that time Sherri was up and she too was not ready for this morning. She has a Doctors appointment for a physical this morning and we had to get up and get ready to go there. We did not have too much time to drink coffee and visit but we did take a little time for each other. We are still working on the plan for the yard sale and the trip out to the new place to locate some more stuff before they bring the barn. It is taking a little time but I am not going to rush it….because every time me rush stuff we end up wishing we had done it another way.
OK straight into the rant which I promise not to take too much time on. I read an article about Miss USA today and I had to email it to some of my Dreamer Friends. Please don’t take this as I am opinionated one way or the other about Gay Marriage….but I read this article about the question they asked Miss USA… what her feelings were about Gay Marriages??? Now my rant is not over the topic but the question and to whom it was posed and where! Why would this be a question for this young lady? What brain trust came up with this question and for what purpose was it asked. Believe me I think it was asked so as to get one answer and that was not the answer that this person gave them ……so it was the wrong answer….Do you see where I am going with this. Sex and religion and politics should not be the subject brought up in a contest of this sort. Too many people have too many beliefs on these topics and to think that a beauty contestant will have the answer to these types of questions is sheer insanity. Besides the audience…which is made up of many young girls…has to listen to these answers from people who have no business answering them in this type of setting. What happen to the old question….”if you could wish for anything in the world what would that be” Remember that one….and the answer was “World Peace”. No not any more now they ask …how do you feel about abortions?? GEEE what is this world coming to….or this country?
OK I am through and you say… “Thank God”!
Sherri and I are looking for a rolling laundry basket to roll our clothes to the laundry mat. I think we located one at Target and if we have the chance we will order it. We have to carry clothes in a tub now and that is not as easy as rolling them over.
Tomorrow we head to Wills Point to start our Yard Sale. I will have some pictures of the big sale in the next journal entry…until then I am signing off here to return later….

Joe,
I agee with you on that thought. That is like asking someone during a job interview what their age is or if they are married. These type of questions should not be allowed. I agree that it doesn't matter whether you are for or against gay marriage it's the question. Politics, Religion and sex are just like you said to opinionated and you know what they say about opinions everybody has one and they stink!!!!LOL Ok that is my 2 cents that and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee.

Thanks for your rant. I hadn't considered it, but you are right, the question was totally inappropriate for the contest. No matter what the answer, many people will disagree. It's divisive and unfair.
I agree Speedy...The Morons that included such a question in that setting should have finished off with "what are your measurements and are you a Republican or Democrat:)...These are the people that should have made the headlines. Take care my friend....Jim & Ellie
The guy that asked her was gay, that should tell you something right there. It was a setup, pure and simple. He is also a hateful little troll, the things he has said about this girl is a lot worse than what she said about gay marriage.
I fully agree. It was a trick and it wasn't the type of question for Miss America. To make it worse it made her lose the crown. I'm glad you did the rant, now would there be anything anyone could do about it?
