Use of Birth Control
Blog 9
Today I am going to discuss with you, the importance of using birth control. I will talk about my experiences, abortion, birth control options, and our personal responsibilities of having control over our reproductive abilities.
When I was 17 my first child was born she was unplanned, when I was 21 my second child was born. When my son was born I realized I had all the children I could handle financially and responsibly. At that time I decided to get a vasectomy to ensure the quality of my children’s lives and the quality of my parenting abilities. Wait a minute!!! That was in 1990 where did this child come from in 1994? The math doesn’t work does it or the vasectomy didn’t work. Well the fact of the matter is that my daughter was adopted by me as a single parent in 1997. I got custody of her in 1996 because her mother or father neither had time or the desire to raise her, but they didn’t think about that when they conceived her. This happens all the time!!!
People we have a responsibility to ourselves, our children, and our society to have control over our reproductive abilities. According to Planned Parenthood of Indiana from 7-2006 to 6-2007 there were 5,160 abortions just in Indiana. Pretty sad thought isn’t it, makes me want to scream out to God and ask why!!!
A large potion of people use a pill as a form of birth control and that is very effective 99% to be accurate. Unfortunately in today’s society we need to consider the possibility of disease so I would advise a condom if you are unfamiliar with your partner as a safety measure. At this time there are no pills for males to use, but scientists are researching that avenue according to howstuffworks.com in a research paper by Stephanie Watson.
Ok so in conclusion thanks to my daughter and the 5,160 abortions that took place we can see what happens when we don’t use birth control. So how do we benefit if we do use birth control? Well for one we don’t have to kill little baby’s. We can make sure we are ready to take the responsibility of parenthood before we have children. And we can control the quality of our families lives and the quality of time we have to spend with 2 or 3 children compared to who knows how many. So please be responsible with the miracle of reproduction that God gave you.
I heard this somewhere one time (anyone can be a dad but it takes a real man to be a father) men we are just as responsible as the women so don’t try to push any responsibility off.

DON’T GET LOST
Blog 8
Hello everyone. How are you doing today? Has anyone here ever been lost? Well after today that may not happen again. Were going to discuss the interstate, highway, and county road systems and how you can use this information to keep from getting lost and if you do it wont be for long. I’m going to give you a few historical facts then show you on two different maps how you can easily keep from getting lost.
The interstate system according to wikipedia.org in 1921 when the Bureau of Public Roads ask the Army to provide a list of roads it considered necessary for national defense. The Interstate Highway system was authorized by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 it had been lobbied by major U.S. automobile manufacturers and championed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. As of 2006 $425 billion has been spent on the original plan that is projected for completion in 2009.Which will be comprised of 160,000 miles of interstate and highway.
So how do we utilize this system for us? Well we need to know how the system works. First is the numbering system it is really quite simple. The Interstate numbers start on the west and using odd numbers get bigger as you travel toward the east. Then they start in the south and get larger as you travel north. There are little green signs on the side of the interstates that are called mile markers they start at the west and south side of each state and get larger toward the east and north side of each state. Very helpfully these mile markers coincide with the exit numbers for example if you want to get off at the Crawfordsville exit at U.S. 231 it would be exit number 34 so if you are traveling west and you see mile marker 38 you know that you have 4 more miles to go until you get to exit 34.
State highways work in the same way except you don’t have exit numbers, but you do still have mile markers that are little blue signs instead of little green signs. And they are numbered from the North and East and get bigger as you travel south and West. Just the opposite of the Interstates.
Now we have the county road system it is a little bit different. What they do is split the county in fourths straight down the middle north and south the straight across east and west. For example in Montgomery county they split it north and south by using U.S 231 then they spit it east and west by using U.S. 32 on the east side of U.S. 231and Base line road on the west side of U.S. 231.Then they number the county roads in increments of miles away from these three different roads for example if you were at the intersection of 150N and 650W you would be one and one half mile north of Base line road and six and one half miles west of U.S. 231.
So as you can see it is really a pretty simple system. Just remember the numbering systems, mile markers, and exit numbers, on the interstates. Remember the numbering system and mile markers on state highways. And remember the numbering system and which direction you are going on county roads and you should not get lost if you do you should be able to look at a map and figure out pretty quick were you are. I hope this information will be very useful to you in your travels. And I thank you for your time. Now please keep these maps in your car because lost is not were you wont to be.

Abraham Lincoln
Blog 7
Today I am going to give you information about a man that most people know as the 16th president of the United States of America Abraham Lincoln. I am also going to give you information about a man that most people don’t know, one of the greatest public speakers of all times Abraham Lincoln.
MR. Lincoln was born on 2-12-1809 to a poor family in Laurue Kentucky. In 1816 his family relocated to southern Indiana, which at that time was a harsh, desolate, frontier. In 1830 they relocated again to Illinois just south of Decatur. In 1831 at the age of 21 MR. Lincoln had grown to be a tall man 6’4” to be exact, and very powerful in upper body, but also very awkward. At this time he set out to live his own life in New Salem, Illinois. In 1834 he was elected to the Illinois General Assembly. IN 1836 he received his license to practice law.In 1842 he married Mary Todd. In 1846 he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. On November 6th 1860 he was electected the 16th President of the United States of America.
Now this is regarded by millions of people including me as proof that Democracy offers all men the best hope for a full , and free life.
This brings us to President Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest public speakers of all times. On 4-12-1861 the civil war started, and lasted until 4-9-1865. Thus President Lincoln had to hold this Country, and our Democracy together through public speeches, and letters of which he wrote all of personally. Through roughly four years of war between what was now a country split in two parts ,the Union, and the Confederacy. In doing so he proved to the world that Democracy could be a lasting form of Government through the worst of times.
The Gettysberg Address ,and many of his other speeches, and writings are still classic statements of Democratic beliefs, and goals.
One part of his success was his character he was a noble man with great merits, and insight. President Lincoln’s insight on the civil war was that at any cost the Union must be saved, and that Democracy would not be destroyed by a minority of the American people. The other factor of his success was his ability to express his convictions so clearly, and with such force. He simply wanted to be convincing, and understood. He didn’t realize that he was writing words that would set the frame of the U.S. Government , and the Americans beliefs for years to come.
So let’s talk about the Gettysberg address as an example shall we. A two minute speech in which he defined his beliefs, and remorse for the fallen lives of both side of the great battle, and that they had not died in vein. But and I quote “THAT THIS NATION UNDER GOD SHALL HAVE A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM, AND THAT GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE,FOR THE PEOPLE SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THIS EARTH”. This two minute speech given at Gettysberg, Pennsylvania on 11-19-1863 is now carved on a stone plaque in the Lincoln Memorial. There were five copies of this speech written only one of which President Lincoln signed, and according to THE WORLD BOOK ENCYCLOPEDIA were I got all of this information none were written on an old brown envelope with a pencil on the train ride to Gettysberg.
Some of President Lincoln’s speeches, and writings have come to be honored as great pieces of literature. Wouldn’t he be amazed?
On 1-1-1863 he issued the Emancipation Proclamation another great writing by President Lincoln. On 11-8-1864 he was re-elected as President of the United States of America.
So in closing Abraham Lincoln was not only the 16th president , who held this country, and democracy together through one of the nations’ worst moments. He was also one of this countries greatest public speakers, and writers. So this young boy who grew up in worse than what we now consider poverty stricken conditions, and rose to fulfill one of the most powerful, and responsible positions in the world. Had his extraordinary live shortened by John Wilkes Booth at forde’s theatre on 4-14-1865. When Booth shot him in the head with a pistol. President Lincoln died on 4-15 1865 at 7:22 AM in Washington D.C. with his family, and high Government officials watching over him. Not to leave you in suspense MR. Booth was hunted down ,and killed by the U.S. army on 4-26-1865 near Port Royal Virginia. President Lincoln was buried on 5-4-1865 at Springfield, Illinois the monument on his grave is a place of universal pilgrimage.

My Youngest Daughter
Blog 6
Well the first thing I have to say about her is she is a blonde, not literally, but she acts goofy all the time. She is smart she gets good grades, and is involved with school functions. She is active in sports basketball and softball, and she pretty good at both of them. She lived with my son and I for years then about 4 years ago she decided she was going to go live with her mother. Which I thought was a bad idea, but at her age I figured it was up to her, so away she went.
One day when her mom was mad at me she was running her mouth about me, and my daughter told her not to talk about me like that, and her mom blurted out in rage that she had been adopted my me when she was 3 years old. That’s wrong on so many levels, and then my daughter went into meltdown emotionally. It took her about 6 months to get over it but she finally did, and I am glad it would kill me to loose her. Now we are ok not as close as we were before, but ok.
Now she comes down almost every weekend and we try to have a good time, but classes keep me pretty busy so we usually just hang around the house but that will be different after this week. I’m only taking 2 classes in the summer so hopefully we can start having some fun like we used to.
One thing a little strange about her that I never did figure out about her is, that the whole time I was on chemo she hardly ever came to visit. I think it scared her that there was a chance I might die, and I think she thought she might accidently be here when it happened, but I am really not sure what it was.
She is not quite as self motivated as my son but she is a pretty good worker when she wants to be. She is 4 years younger than my son, but she can hold her own when they start wrestling around, she is a big girl not obese but big and pretty athletic. She likes to talk on the phone a lot, and chat on the internet. She never reads for entertainment which I think is strange because my son reads a lot. She likes to go camping, fishing, swimming, and canoeing, she likes it outside she goes hunting with me, she likes to watch TV which I don’t do much of, but from time to time I’ll watch a movie with her and we both enjoy that especially scary movies. Ok that’s all I’m going to say about her for now.

My Oldest Daughter
Blog 5
My oldest daughter and I have had quite the rocky relationship; we actually got along pretty good until she moved to Louisiana, when she was 15. She was born when I was 17, and her mother and I did don’t stay together long after that. She has always lived with her mom except for the 3 months she lived with me soon after her mother moved to Louisiana. Before that she lived in Darlington most of her life, with her mom and step father a friend of mine from school, he was pretty cool. She would come down almost every other weekend for years. Then her mother and step father hooked up with this couple from Louisiana, and decided to swop partners, for the weekend. Then they decided they were going to swop for life, so both couples got divorced, and they all moved to Louisiana. That’s when my daughter came to stay with me for the last three months of school, when she went to Louisiana to visit for the summer, she never returned.
I have not seen her sense that was 6 years ago; let me tell you that really messed up our relationship. They expected me to drive back and forth to Louisiana to visit her, well that was not at all in my budget. So everyone blamed me because we never got to see each other the whole time. Oh well someone has to carry the load why not me.
Now she is coming up to visit in about a week, and I will get to see her for the first time in about 6 years. I am really exited about the visit, and I hope she is to, and I hope we have a good visit while she is here. She will be here for a week, but that is not near close enough time to catch up on 6 years.
She just turned 22 and is graduating from community college this spring; I guess she did good in school that’s what she says. I’m not sure what her plans are now that she is out of school she has a few ideas but has not made a permanent decision. Whatever it is I’m sure she will do fine, she is a strong willed young lady with good morals. I have to admit her mother did a good job raising her despite the fact that she moved her away from me, and caused me to loose out on 6 years of my daughters’ life. Water under the bridge I guess if we work at it I’m sure we can make up for some of it. Anyway we will find out next week.

Gas Prices: blog 12
The gas prices are really starting to put a dent in my pocket. At three dollars and eighty cents a gallon it is costing me around fifteen dollars every time I drive up to Lafayette. I am so relieved that school is almost out for the summer, and I don't have to drive up to Lafayette five days a week. But what about next school year? Who knows I may not even be able to afford to drive to school anymore, and I'm sure I'm not alone on that matter. People are trying to better them selves by going to school and it's just getting harder to do. How is anyone supposed to live when we are paying four dollars a gallon?
I saw on the news a month or so ago that oil companies are making billions of dollars in profits. How can our government let this go on? The gas prices and increasing rates of food, etc are dragging every one into a huge hole that we one day aren’t going to be able to get out of. Minimum wage is like six dollars or somewhere around there and the people that are making this kind of money are having to spend pretty close to an hours work pay for a gallon of gas. This is ridiculous!
Us working people can't even enjoy our money when we get it because everything is increasing and no one is making more money. Someone need to do something soon, because gas is just going to keep going up. When the gas goes up everything else goes up. I am so glad that I still live at home and I don't have to worry about paying for food, a house, and other life necessities. I could never make it.
Someone out there is getting rich and it sure isn’t us “normal” people. I think that every one should boycott buying gas. If every one stuck together and didn’t buy gas, didn’t go to work and so on then no one would lose their job, because if that was the case then everyone would have to be fired. I believe the semi-drivers tried to do this and some of them, but not all semi-drovers stuck to the plan. The reason why these oil companies are charging so much is because they can. If we keep paying, then they will keep increasing the prices of oil. It’s going to be a never ending cycle if we don't do something about it.

My Son
Blog 4
Now there is an example of memories and observation, to which I’m sure I can not begin to do justice to in close to 500 words. All the way from his first breath, to coming up on his 18th birthday in less than 3 months. That boy has taught me a thing or to of course I have him to, that is my job and I do my best with what I have. As I had mentioned he will be 18 soon, he just received his learners permit recently so I let him drive me every chance I get. He has a very delightful girlfriend whom loves him dearly, as he does her. He is admired by many of people young and old, my landlord for example thinks he is a wonderful young man, as do I. he gets good grades in school, and is active in diving, band, cross country, and many other school activities. He is a hard worker, he has worked for the same construction company every summer for the last 3 summers, and I’m sure he will again. On top of that he does odd jobs of all sorts and mows lawns to make extra money, for what ever he has a already planned to purchase.
He has grown to be my best friend and sometimes that makes it hard to be dad, but I take a deep breath and do what I know is rite, if I did not I would be cheating him and I. Him and I have been through a lot together, we live alone just the two of us, and have for about 5 years. Before that it was him, his little sister and I so we have had plenty of time to bond. He stood beside me through 2 years of fighting cancer, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and numerous surgeries. He knows god and believes in his word, and tries hard to be a good Christian. He tolerated the days when I used to drink, and I know that sometimes that was hard for a young man. He has had to spend numerous hours home alone while I was working, but we had fun spending those paychecks on the weekend, I really miss that part myself, I bet he does to. He has had to deal with all the crazy woman in my life, but we have a deal about that they are not aloud to live here.
There was a time how ever when he was young and needed dad for different reasons. We had to go swimming, fishing, hunting, canoeing and many other activities that we both enjoyed. Ill be back to normal someday I hope and we can those things once again. As I said I cant do my son whom I love so much, any justice in 500 words, and I was correct because I have not began to scratch the surface of the memories or observations about this delightful young man, than I get to call my son.

Now there is an example of memories and observation, to which I’m sure I can not begin to do justice to in close to 500 words. All the way from his first breath, to coming up on his 18th birthday in less than 3 months. That boy has taught me a thing or to of course I have him to, that is my job and I do my best with what I have. As I had mentioned he will be 18 soon, he just received his learners permit recently so I let him drive me every chance I get. He has a very delightful girlfriend whom loves him dearly, as he does her. He is admired by many of people young and old, my landlord for example thinks he is a wonderful young man, as do I. he gets good grades in school, and is active in diving, band, cross country, and many other school activities. He is a hard worker, he has worked for the same construction company every summer for the last 3 summers, and I’m sure he will again. On top of that he does odd jobs of all sorts and mows lawns to make extra money, for what ever he has a already planned to purchase.
He has grown to be my best friend and sometimes that makes it hard to be dad, but I take a deep breath and do what I know is rite, if I did not I would be cheating him and I. Him and I have been through a lot together, we live alone just the two of us, and have for about 5 years. Before that it was him, his little sister and I so we have had plenty of time to bond. He stood beside me through 2 years of fighting cancer, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and numerous surgeries. He knows god and believes in his word, and tries hard to be a good Christian. He tolerated the days when I used to drink, and I know that sometimes that was hard for a young man. He has had to spend numerous hours home alone while I was working, but we had fun spending those paychecks on the weekend, I really miss that part myself, I bet he does to. He has had to deal with all the crazy woman in my life, but we have a deal about that they are not aloud to live here.
