Walk This Way or That its just plain rude

I don’t know how to put it, maybe that its maddening, annoying, rude, or just plain inconsiderate how people walk down the street these days. I was reminded of this when my father was down in Charleston recently. As we walked up and down the streets of Charleston it dawned on my father and I how inconsiderate people are, when walking down the street. Crowds of 5,6 even 2 or 3 walk shoulder to shoulder and don’t so much as to step to the side especially here in Charleston. My dad spoke to it, “in my day walking down the street you treated it as a two way street one sort goes to the right going one direction the other opposite”  He went on “see they should start to walk behind one another and lend way to us.” Enough is enough people respect the sidewalks and the people walking down them and learn you manners. Quit being inconsiderate.

  

Time To Measure Up

Time to measure whats really important to you from time to time… To me without a doubt its doing what I can.. To me that’s doing what I can for childhood cancer. I have met countless children in treatment, some kids just out of treatment, parents who have lost their CHILDREN or INFANTS, and even met children who will one day lose their battle. Enough is enough if children are the future, if life is important, if being a parent is important then why aren’t we doing something for the kids who typically can’t fight and advocate for themselves. Parents are left way to grief stricken and medical bill burdened to fight… We have to fight for them. The place is where? Here! The time is NOW!! We need to give that fighting Chance. Actions speak louder than words. Enough is enough Measure up.

Looking for a Cancer Cure in the Cloud

“For far too long, children with pediatric cancer have relied on the hand-me-down adult cancer treatments which are brutally harsh and, in many cases, more punitive than curative for children. We’ve given them to kids because something is better than nothing,” said Patrick Lacey
