quotes from where?

Today on NPR they were talking about Mitt Romney and what it will be like for Mormon*** to campaign for President. That wasn't what caught my attention, it was the woman who said "Mormons and Catholics are NOT Christians"**. Really? Hmmm..now I won't even begin to talk about the Mormon faith because I have no facts what so ever. However, raised Catholic I can attest that we are Christians. Because "we" have stricter traditions that have actually hindered the sect in my opinion most people think that Catholics don't follow the teachings of Christ. Well, we do.

From http://www.m-w.com/
Cath·o·lic
Pronunciation: 'kath-lik, 'ka-th&-Function: noun
1 : a person who belongs to the universal Christian church
2 : a member of a Catholic church; especially : ROMAN CATHOLIC

Hmm..funny how that works out. Why people talk or be quoted on things they don't know about me totally befuddles me.

**When I went to read the transcript on NPR's website they took the word Catholic out of the woman's statement. Is that right?

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
