Shaking Room Memoirs of Earthquake

The Following Los Angeles Earthquake Story Is Based On A True Experience. Early in the morning, on Thursday, August 9, 2007, at approximately 12:58 AM, there was a 4.5 earthquake in the Los Angeles, California area, where I live. I had just finished answering comments to some of my posts, and shutting down my computer. Suddenly, about ten minutes later, while getting ready for bed, the entire bathroom floor was shaking beneath my feet. I was standing by the sink when it happened, and grabbed onto the edge for support. That's how badly the room was shaking, folks. I thought for a moment that the toilet (am I allowed to say that word, or is it politically incorrect?) was going to be ripped out of the wall. The glass shower doors were rattling, and a quick thought flashed in my mind that they were going to shatter any minute. The entire room was literally shaking. I could hear a low rumbling sound like thunder. If thunder had a face, the above description is what it would look l...

The Economy Is Not Your Master

The economy is not the master of your life. Although money problems are plentiful in today's economic crisis around the globe, it is important to remember that every person has certain gifts and skills that can lead to a profitable income. Self-employment is an option that many unemployed persons never think about, but self-employment is a valid option, and many individuals work out of their own homes. In fact, the writer and publisher of this website works out of her own home, etching out a humble living as an independent writer on a secondhand laptop computer. The conservative way of looking at life includes all facets of life, whether those aspects concern family values, religion, philosophy, health or money. Conservative principles, upon which the Republican party is based, concern self-reliance and independence. Liberals like to brag about their nonconformist attitudes towards society, but it is actually conservatives who are the true nonconformists. The economy, no matter ho...

Romney Still Wins Hearts of NH Voters in NH GOP Primary

All of the other Republican presidential hopefuls received even less potential votes, with Ron Paul maxing out at 14 percent and Michele Bachmann at only 10 percent. The New Hampshire voters were also asked if they were familiar with the res...

Is Paul Ryan the Next Mr. President in 2012?

The 2012 Republican presidential primary race draws closer, and the question as to whether Paul Ryan is the Republican presidential candidate headed for the White House arises. Is Paul Ryan the new Ronald Reagan? Is Paul Ryan the Republican who can save America's economic crisis with his innovative Ryanomics that apply to today's economic budget woes? There are those in the GOP who want the economic genius, Wisconsin Republican congressman Paul Ryan, to run for president, including Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, who stated during a telephone interview Wednesday morning, "If there were a Paul Ryan fan club, I'd be a national officer." Jeb Bush, the 43rd governor of Florida, and the younger brother of former U.S. President George W. Bush, also believes in Paul Ryan's abilities. Jeb Bush stated that, "Paul Ryan would be a formidable candidate." Republicans need to make sure the right person is in the race if America is to receive relief...
