I don't see it as racist.  I do see it in poor taste and I am in NO way shape or form an Obama fan or supporter AT ALL. 

If the school did NOT have a policy regarding messages or words on shirts the kid should NOT be suspended.  They can change the policy after that point if they must. 

People will stop at nothing to make a few dollars, huh?  I wonder how many people they have signed up. 

I saw that some group said they would care for pets left behind after rapture for Christians.  They charge them for the service and promise to take care of the pet. 

Why the world sees cause to make fun of Christians, I will never know.  Very sad.  Sadder still...that so many could be taken advantage of.

Well, it's May 4th..lol...but here it's sunny and 72!  Woohoo!  Sadly it's supposed to rain and get in the 50s later this week.   

Hello!  I run a chapter in my area for SAFE.  We collect and donate stuffed animals, blankets, back packs and more to children in difficult circumstances.  We donate to police stations, fire stations, Children's services, hospitals, military families, overseas like Haiti and more!  It's a small thing but it makes a HUGE impact in children's lives. 

If you wish to donate to this lovely cause...all sales in the month of May on my Mary Kay site go to help SAFE.  Visit:  www.marykay.com/richelemcfarlin

Hi everyone!  I have decided to stary a weekly mom link round up.  Here are the details: http://underthegoldenappletree.blogspot.com/2009/10/mom-link-round-up.html#   

I think this will be a great way to support each other and get some traffic to our blogs.  If you go to my blog, you will see a widget for the carnival.  This is very simple...you just submit the permalink of your favorite post for the week.  You can PM me, email me (blog sidebar), or submit directly to the carnival.  If you want to host it for a week or two you are welcome to do that also. 

The very first round up is Oct. 30th.  So, get  your links in! 

Thanks...lol...and here I am just getting back here today.  Oh well..I have next week to screw up on also.  LOL>

LOL...WOW...you are right!  I think a name change is in order!  LOL.  Sometimes the creative side of my mind gets a bit over excited!

join me at my blog http://www.underthegoldenappletree for a Thursday meme.  It's called Thursday Afternoon Tea.  The topics will vary weekly.  Check it out! 

I love that site as well!

I have seen CEO Moms before.  What is it exactly? What do they sell? 

It's like a flat stanley...but instead we use a pumpkin...our own pumpkin..no sending something all over the place.  Just snap a shot with one of your pumpkins...we all have one this time of year, right?  No matter how small or big...dressed up or not...and let's share the pictures.  I am going to put a McLinky on my blog for a Portly Pete.  TAke the picture somewhere interesting and tell us a bit about it.  You don't have to give specifics about the area to maintain privacy. 

So what do you think?  would you all be game for a little Portly Pete?  I am asking here before I post it and feel stupid having no one respond.  LOL.  I wanted to do a flat stanley but I am no good at sending things back and forth.  I thought this may be a bloggy way to do it.

I have a friend whose son had it.     He is better now..but had to go to the ER.  If we had it in the past few weeks of being then I don't know it.  I heard it can be mild to severe...so one could have it and not know it. 

I'm like in the 50s.  lol.
