Hello to all

This is new to me so please have patience, lol.  I have always said I should have a website that anyone can post a thought.  Honestly, some of my ideas of how things work over the years have proven true.  I know that happens to a lot of people.  Anyway, my kids are always telling me I should write stuff down somewhere so this is where it will be.  I think way too much sometimes, and sometimes I even confuse myself, haha.  Let me know what you think, please.  No one has to agree with my outlook, but think about it.  Sometimes looking from a different angle gives you a larger perspective.  When people listen to me having a conversation with my kids about the world and beyond, they think we are arguing.  We have our own way of discussing, and we make sure the other one sees and understands our point of view, but agreeing with it is not a requirement.  We have some pretty heated discussions on things as common as politics and as far out as quantum physics, string theory, and multiple universes.  I raised my kids with the educational channels and discussions to expand their minds.  I think they surpassed me a while ago, lol.  

  When they were younger and my oldest was learning the solar system, they all picked a planet to be from, a way they got to earth (one just fell out of the spaceship), and when we saw strange lights in the sky they would debate over who's "parents" it was.  They had so much fun with it, even though there is 10 years from my oldest to my youngest.  I tried to make learning fun so they didn't know they were learning, and it worked.  

  Kids' minds are amazing.  The more you feed their mind the more they absorb.  At the same time, as they grow older and learn more, by having discussions with them you teach them how to theorize, and you learn too.  

  If this is too much for you, don't worry.  Like I said, I have always had to be self-sufficient so I have taught myself a lot of skills.  So there will be the everyday stuff in here as well as ways I manage such as couponing, and all my other interests.  There really are too many to list, so just check in now and again, as there will be something for just about everyone.  Thanks for reading my thoughts, and feel free to let me know what you think.  I always enjoy a different opinion.
