The Sweet Life: The Best Medicine
http://thesweetlife-1sweetmama.blogspot.com/2009/10/best-medicine.html
Friday, October 16, 2009. James Madison, our 4th U.S. President was a pretty smart guy.

James Madison said,. 8220;Let me recommend the best medicine in the world: a long journey, at a mild season, through a pleasant country, in easy stages.”. Thank you, P&...

http://thesweetlife-1sweetmama.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2009. This really gets my goat. I have several friends and family (whom I adore! Who use this term often in text messages, emails, and even in the spoken language. Now, to me, to actually speak the word. 8220;’kay”. Short for okay) is, in my opinion, a slight dismissal toward the person with whom you are conversing. For example:. 8220;Did you remember to put away your gym bag? 8220;No.”. 8220;Can you please do this for me now? 8220;’kay…”. 8220;’kay”. They: “k”. If you don’t hav...
