People of the Midwest.. I just don't understand.!!!


Ok so I moved to the current state that I am living in oh I don't know about 6 years ago. I have met some wonderful people here. I am not at all bashing where I live, but I am still amazed by one phenomenon. PEOPLE LEAVING THEIR KEYS IN THE CAR (RUNNING) WHILE GOING IN STORES, BANKS, ATMS. I think it is so great that people are so trusting. But come on people. OH my goodness every time I see this I think have you people lost your minds. Where I grew up, if you did that you would come back to an empty parking spot. Even worse if you went up to an atm with your car running they would more than likely be in your car waiting for you when you got back. Not that I grew up in some crime ridden placed. I grew up in a wonderful place, however not quite the same. I just do not understand this rational. I lock my doors when I am in my car and when I get out. My husband even teases me about being ocd when it comes to locking things. So here is my question, Is it just my ocd about locking doors that makes me think that this practice is crazy or do others think it is a little kooky also. Please take my survey in the side column to let me know if I am crazy or not.

Thanks Fellow Bloggers,

Once again....like so many of your other issues, this is a direct result from growing up in Fayette-nam! Now, while you did live in the posh area of the city you some of your best friends were hood rats!! :) Oh Meg, will you and I ever be back where things make sense?!?!

I remember when we did that IN THE 60s. It doesn't matter where you live now, YOU JUST DON'T DO THAT.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
