Television skin commercials

TV commercials are extremely educational but not for the reasons you think.  Camera and lighting are the name of the game.  You know the  double  identical lady where one is skinny and one is plumb?  I don't for a minute think those are two pictures of the lady taken at a different times.  I've seen this happen too many times to know its camera trickery.  My other favorites are different ladies who get the 'magical' youth creme applied to half their face.  After the applications, do you notice the ever so gradual change in lighting?  As the untreated side gets darker, the wrinkles appear just that, more wrinkled.  Then switch to the lighter side of the face.  The 'treated' side.  My my.  What an improvement.  Just a little more light lessens the appearance of the aging wrinkles.  Commercials (some are funny) but more often that not, they're extremely educational.  Pay attention.  Don't waste you money...................................marge

I blame both

I don't know who deserves more blame for the horrible behavior of many shoppers at the Malls.  It would seem the stores encourage this mob behavior.  Is it the only day it can make enough money for the whole year?  I don't think so.  Now to you idiot shoppers who turn violent.  Is this the only day out of the whole year you think you can get a wonderful bargain?  Think again.  Thanks to the business owners and customers, the mall employees are punished and threatened for purely selfish reasons.  Stop letting mall owners think that this is the ONLY day you will get the bargain of the century.  It isn't!  Honest!!..........................marge

A Big Clue

Watching a Detroit TV news station tonight may have helped us finding out why children are shooting other children  And when I say children, I don't mean by year count.  I mean those that weren't taught about growing up and how the thinking process gets better as they age, or by all counts, should.  If these families abandon their pets outside, hot or freezing weather and they themselves have children, are their kids processing this?  If not now, will these little ones in some way, remember what they saw and felt seeing that animal they loved and hugged being left behind?  Or eventually will they just chalk it up to 'that's what parents do'?  Maybe they just don't stand much of a chance starting early on in their young lives.  Someone knows who these people are.  Turn them in.  It's time they paid for animal abuse now and child abuse later on in the young ones lives.  They need to be stopped.  We, society are the only ones that can do it.  Let's stop looking the other way and hoping someone else will pick up the cause.......................marge

Abused, murdered children

It is now happening all over the United States.  Grandparents leaving guns and bullets that kids know where to look for and do when the (adult) leaves the house.  Mother walks away and leaves her two year old in the car overnight in below freezing temperatures.  So called parents letting their young child suffer for two days with third degree burns on her arm.  It took an  outsider to get help and get the child to the hospital.  Then there, yet again, is the armed road raging (usually a man ). shooting into a car, because it was going too slow to suit him.  It was a grandmother and her three year old grandson.  The three year old is now dead.  Three years old!  Someone is responsible.  Who shall we blame?  Any of us?  All of us?  Do you think none of us?  Critical problems need critical solutions.  How can we and where do we start?  There has to be answers.  Let's find them.  Now.................................marge

Imposter

Recently a family members posted some Thanksgiving pictures of themselves with a person they claim is me.  These are nice people and I would like to get to know them better.  However.  The person they've crowded around, and calling 'Grandma', or 'birmingham marge', appears to be, lets say, 'altered'?  There's is a wrinkly, droopy eyed , skinny, short, OLDER person.  Let me really describe myself.  I'm youthful (for my age), slender in build and have beautiful silver hair.  I'd describe more but I couldn't afford all the requests for autographed pictures.  Sorry about that.  Just keeping the records straight.  Love you all.  birmingham marge..............................................

The killings are growing!

More and more innocent children and their mothers are cruelly being killed in Michigan on an almost daily basis.   Legislators.  Do you really think we don't need to reopen the State Mental Hospital?  Please think again.  And perhaps take action?..........................marge
