- Teen Pregnancy: Who's to Blame?
-
Talk of the Nation, June 26, 2008 ยท This week, Time magazine published a story about 17 teenage girls at Gloucester High School in Massachusetts who, it said, got together to form a "pregnancy pact." The story has since been disputed by families of the girls and by the mayor, but it's raised a lot of discussion about planned teenage pregnancy. ....Full story at NPR

I heard the rumor that 360 is changing. For months I have tried to make changes to my page, display my pictures, change my layout and add a blog roll to my page, and it is not happening. I look forward to the changes, but I am disappointed that they are restricting the freedoms we have with our current pages. It's really frustrating because I have wanted to update this blog for a long time. Depending on what the changes are I may not keep up with this page after they're done. I just don't use Yahoo like I use to in part because a lot of the old "user friendly-user fun" applications they once had have gone. I have watched the changes over the years and have to say I have moved on to other blogs, applications and website hosts. I must say whoever is handling they marketing....hope that guy knows what he is doing, because I wouldn't want his job.
Yahoo has pushed me over to Google blogspot, and wordpress. That really is too bad...it use to be fun here.

Today I feel the need to dedicate my blog entry to my sister Deborah who lost her husband November 27, 2007. Today she lays him to rest. She is my big sister and a role model for me. See my father never had any problems out of her. She had her nose to the grind. Sista gurl went straight to college after high school and got her Bachelor's degree right away. After high school I went into labor. She set another example for me years after earning her degree she went back to earn a Master's degree too. It took me some time to go back to school, unfortunately after our father died. Our father wasn't always fair between his two girls, but he did get closer to my sister before his death. He always spoke highly of her and kept telling me he wished I was more like her. I wish he had told her that more too. I think in the long run he worried more about me because I needed more help. My sister may think it is because he made differences, but he never had to worry about her. Even before she married, he knew she would always be able to take care of herself. He knew (unlike me) that she had a good man and that her husband would care for her and their son always. My grandmother told me that around the time my father died, because in death he made differences again too. I love her. She and her husband recently sent their son off to University of Texas at Austin. He was just settling in and now has the burden of coming home to face the reality of losing his father. That is a lot for a young man to shoulder, especially now that he will have to return to school after dealing with such a loss. My brother-in-law was sick, and they tried to prepare their son...but really how prepared can someone be for something like this? It's really hard when tragedy strikes a family. One of the hardest things for me is finding the right words to say, being there....I don't know that I have done the greatest job of doing that. So I am trying to use today to say to my sister, "I don't know the right things to say. The sad reality of all of this is that we are running out of family, it's starting to narrow down to just us and our children. I need you to know that I am proud to be your little sister and I look up to you, your strength, and the examples you set. God bless you at this difficult time, and know not only are you admired...you are also loved."

Just tryin to be social is all. I am still working out this how to make friends at Yahoo thing. Why?...umm I donno...and NO it's not for business more for fun. I am getting tired of people offering me stuff online...hey make a million dollar overnight. I have already taken care of what I need....NO more people.....thanks. But, I must admit I have made some wonderful contacts online. I have gotten addicted to reading blogs, just to see what it is people write about. My blog theme seems to change from one day to the next. I am off into education right now. I am in school again. Decided I want to be a teacher. My daughter laughs at me all the time...she says to me..."Mom.....you sure this time?"....I know it took me some time to get there. I am addicted to gaming again....NO not gambling, but playing cards socially. Some of the people I meet at the gaming sites are really weird though. I think it's just fun to have an outlet and the blog thing....well that's nice too. Keeps things interesting

Okay I will try and keep this short...long boring blogs get to me. So well hey....I didn't mean to sound "oh too holy" in that last post, after all a sista got a bit of a past....I mean don't we all just a little? Okay my attempt at being social......hmmm. Well, for the umpteenth time I have started school again. My boss threw me a loop and I had enough. I want more control and the things that were happening at work were out of my control. My position was under evaluation to decide if the grade needed changing. So I decided to take a chance and make a change and go back to what I use to do a few moons ago......IT is so volatile....and staying ahead in the IT game means getting certification after certification, and then what happens....the job goes overseas....It's like a friend told me..."It's okay to look at what your doing and re-evaluate....sometimes we have to change the road we are on"...I agree...Wish I could support myself with what I earn online....WHAT....was I suppose to lie?....
Well...anywayz...My history is bean counting....well now I am going to make it count...like I should have a long time ago....I keep telling my daughter when you own your own business it's feast or famine....better have a backup plan....I mean after all even Master P....has him sum schoolin......
