Weekly Wrap-up- Holy Ocuplets and more…..

I am not sorry to see January go bye-bye.

Last week was an eventful week as we heard about over 200,000 people (our friends, family, neighbors) getting laid-off, the worst January in history on the stock market, and some Wall St. CEO’s getting HUGE bonuses that we funded (Pres. said no, not this time fellas).

Possibly the biggest story to draw attention this week was about the California mom who gave birth to octuplets only to have 6 small kids at home. While many of us are asking why would anyone want that many kids to have to wipe noses on and send to college, there are people questioning the eithical side to all of this.

I have been busy this week myself with school, work and attending to a higher than normal amount of e-mails that have come my way. With respect to all opinions and views, this blog site is not meant to be a commercial or editorial site. Like most blogs are to blog owners, this is my space.

Having said that, I am grateful for the many new and returning friends that have visited this week. I appreciate your comments and nice thoughts.
