Beautiful Life of Zig Zag Zoom

We often hear about the right to vote. It is in the Constitution that we have that right. However, I contend that it is also a responsibility. Many times as Americans, we sit back and are too lazy to drive to the polls. Worse yet, we just do not care. This my friend is the beginning of the end for freedom.

As much as we want to bury our heads in the sand, it is not possible. We must drag ourselves to the polls and let our voice be heard. We must stand up for what we believe and vote in those who believe the same things. It is your right, but it is also your responsibility to DEFEND  the nation from take over by those you do not share values with.

This past election was just for local offices. I heard many say they do not vote except for the big elections. Guess what? Your voice carries tons more weight in local elections where many candidates win by a few votes; some as few as one. Your vote can make the difference who gets in office.

I share the frustration of many who feels like giving up because all the candidates seem to be out for number one, themselves. However, I march myself in every election to try to send then message to them. I am not a Republican, I am not a Democrat, I am an American exercising my right and responsibility to vote for the best man or woman for the job. I encourage you to never miss another election again; your freedom depends on it!

Please feel free to share your opinion and comments.

OK, I have been quite slack in posting so I got  a lot of catching up to do. One of most active post was when I reviewed the iPad when they first came out. Well I decided to address the long term review. I ordered my iPad when they first came out in April 2010. Yes, I still have it!

I have had the iPad for about a year and a half. It still works great and I use it everyday. Has it always been perfect? No! Some of the updates sucked. The current IOS5 update has messed up my Safari browser and caused me a few headaches. Some of my apps did not keep up and now are playing catch up to be able to function properly. I had a couple of times when I had to do a reboot to fix problems. The 3G did not always work like it should. So your question is, do I still recommend the iPad?

I am the biggest cheerleader for the iPad. I have gotten many hours of fun, used it for many business purposes, used it when I did not have Internet at home, and much more. I do not believe in the whole time I have owned it, there has been a single day when I have not used the iPad. I travel with it, it is the first thing I check my Internet with in the morning, and I use it during my TV watching. I was told to wait to buy it until they added new features. I f I did, I would have missed out of all the fun and use since I bought it. Is the new iPad2 a little fancier? Yep! However, I have no desire to replace my old iPad. The camera is cool but I have so many cameras; one my phone, one my computer, and two digital cameras.  Do I really need another one. Not really! Most of the other features are of no use for me to spend the additional funds to update to a new one.

For those of you who have rode the fence about getting an iPad, I still highly recommend it of you can afford it. I do most of my internet browsing on the iPad. I can read books, watch videos (you tube, Netflix, and more), and play tons of cool games. I am cheap as a rule and I have spent less than $25 in apps. Most of what I want can be had for free or really cheap. Yes the iPad is costly and no it is not a need but if want one, you will not regret it. I had minor quirks but nothing that ever makes me regret my purchase.

Please feel free to share your iPad experience. Very curious to here from those who upgraded from iPad one to iPad two.

It has been a busy time and much has happened since I last posted. I have built a new modular home almost a year ago. It is a beautiful yellow house on 75 acres of land. I am planning soon to write a post about my experience with going with a modular builder.

Next life change is I lost my job about two months ago. It was a hard hit and the job market is weak. I have sent many resumes and received no responses. I went to work the second day of the school year and received a call that my position was being cut. No notice, no warning, just someone will be up to get keys and cell phone. Good Luck!

I am glad that I planned out my finances so that we could make it without my job if needed be. It puts a strain on our life plans but we will make it until the market opens up. Many people are not prepared and this causes great hardship.

Others things happening is that we no longer raise chickens and we have no pets at all now.

Life has its ups and downs but now this give time to reconnect to my readers and update my blogs. Look for an in-depth article soon ob buying the modular home way.

I will try to be more regular with my updates. Thanks and feel free to share some life happenings on the comment sections.
