Republican or Democrat? Who Cares. It's Time To Work Together.

Last night, Sarah Palin appeared as herself on Saturday Night Live. I think she did a good job and was a good sport considering most everyone on the cast disagrees with her politics. While watching the show, the phrase, "Can't we all just get along" kept popping up in my head. I started thinking about that statement. The statement used to refer to the divide between whites and blacks in the country. Now, to me, that statement refers more to the divide between Democrats and Republicans.

Think about it. We all have a ton of different views and opinions in the United States, but only politics seems to bring out the worst in us all. Now, rather than just disagreeing with someones political views, we "hate" them for them. It's become a them vs. us. It's we're right and they're wrong. It's all their fault and not ours for the country's problems.

I find it very interesting that American Jews, Protestants, Mormons, Catholics and many other religions essentially get along fine and enjoy each others company in social situations, but Democrats and Republicans now find it hard to even be in the same room with each other, much less enjoy each others company socially.

That's why I found last night's SNL show with Governor Palin so refreshing. She seemed relaxed, though a little reserved, and seemed to enjoy herself. And, I thought, isn't that the way we all should be. Just because you have a difference in opinion with someone, that doesn't mean you should hate that person. It reminds me of a couple of friends of mine from college. One was a Democrat and one was a Republican. They were both extremely passionate about their political party, and they had some spirited debates and discussions, but they were also best friends and roommates. The difference in opinion made them very interesting to be around.

That is what I believe we need in this country. Democrats and Republicans need to embrace our differences and work together FOR OUR COUNTRY rather than working solely FOR OUR OWN PARTY'S INTERESTS.

It's that simple people. Both parties have some good ideas and both parties have some bad ideas. And, if our government would get back to working together rather than separately, then it just might trickle down to the "average Joe" who would then start working together as well.

As I've said a thousand times on this blog, things really aren't all that bad. Right now, the majority of the mainstream media is determined to oust the Republicans from office. One way they're doing this is by constantly focusing on negative news and how bad things are right now. Unfortunately for us, Wall Street and the world watches our news religiously. I'm convinced that a large majority of our country's "so-called" problems are directly related to the constant negative news reports.

So, I'm proposing that we, the American people, start the ball rolling. Let's stop hating people because they have a different political view than us. Let's start working together on issues and focus on solutions rather than problems. Let's start focusing on the positive things happening around us. I guarantee you, if you take a look around at any given time during your day, you'll see a lot of positive things going on. It's all in your outlook. If you're looking for negative things, all you'll see is negative things. If you look for positive things, then you'll see positive things.

I'm sorry for the soapbox post today, but somethings gotta change. The country as a whole is no different than an individual. If all we focus on is negative thoughts, then all we're going to get is negative results. I think it's time we all started focusing on the positive aspects of our wonderful country. Then, I think we'd all see that things really aren't all that bad.

Make it a great day!

Who Is Joe The Plumber From Last Night's Presidential Debate

If you were watching the Presidential debate last night, you heard Joe the Plumber being mentioned by both candidates 23 times. So, who exactly is Joe? His name is Joe Wurzelbacher and Good Morning America interviewed him this morning. I agree with Joe when he says, "Why should you be taxed more for being successful."

Under Senator Obama's plan, anyone making over $250,000 a year would be taxed more than everyone else. In my opinion, that's not right. Just because you've worked hard and make more money than 95% of the American population, that doesn't mean you should have to pay more taxes. What do you think? Enjoy!

Blogger Compares Obama's Campaign To That Of Republican Bobby Jindal's 2003 Campaign

Phillip Stutts, a political and corporate consultant from the D.C. area (and a fraternity brother of mine from Alabama) posted a very interesting article today comparing the current Obama presidential campaign to Bobby Jindal's failed first attempt at winning the 2003 Louisiana governor's race.

I found one segment of his article very interesting. When referring to why Jindal didn't win the '03 election, Stutts said, These voters were simply reluctant to vote for an unknown quantity even with a glowing track record. Unlike Senator Obama, Jindal already had an impressive body of substantive work, including a remarkable stint as the Louisiana Director of the Department of Health and Assistant Secretary for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Will Senator Obama face the same type of skeptism come election day? While I'm sure Obama's speech tonight will be electrifying, I'm not sure if it will be enough to energize the millions of voters who are on the fence. Obama's time may come in the future, but I'm not sure if this election will be it.

You can read Stutts' entire article on this page on Campaigninsider.CampaignsandElections.us.

Until later, make it a great day!

Nothing Worth Having Is Easy, But Everything Worth Having Is Obtainable - Let's Find Out How Together

For over two years, I have been publishing positive news stories and videos. The response to the blog has been awesome, and I want to thank you all for visiting on a regular basis.

For a while now, I have been evaluating where I would like to go with this blog. As many of you know, I have been an affiliate marketer online since 2003. It has provided my wife and me with a steady second income. During that time, I have met a lot of successful online marketers and have had the opportunity to guest write on some of their blogs.

With that thought in mind, I have decided to expand the focus of PositivePelham.com. The overall theme and focus of the blog will always be positive. I am still very disappointed in mainstream media. If it's negative, they love it. If it's positive, they loathe it. Negative news - front page of the newspaper; Positive news - buried on page twelve of the Life section if it's there at all.

Therefore, I will still post positive news stories when I come across them. In addition to positive stories, I'm also going to start sharing some stories about online marketing, blogging and anything else that pops into my head that I feel someone like you may be interested in. One reason for this is because I am constantly asked the same two questions by friends and acquaintances:

(1) How do you find time to update all your blogs and still have a life?
(2) Are you making any money doing it?

Well, I'm going to start sharing some of the answers to the first question during the upcoming days and weeks ahead. As far as the second question, the simple answer is yes. I am making a nice second income. But, one of the reasons I want to address this issue in the days and weeks to come is because it's not easy to make money online. Like any other business, you have to work hard, and more importantly, you have to work smart. If you see or hear someone telling you how you can get-rich-quick online, run away. I don't mean turn and walk away. I mean, turn around and run away. Nothing worth having is easy, but anything worth having is obtainable.

So, I hope you will continue to visit PositivePelham.com on a regular basis. I will try to make sure that everyone will be able to relate to every article I publish. And, of course, I will continue to publish positive, motivating and inspiring stories.

With that being said, if you're new to PositivePelham.com, I welcome you, and if you're one of my loyal readers, I want to thank you again for visiting.

Make it a great day!

7 Super Snacks That Have Healing Powers

Did you know that eating blueberries will help you ace that next test? Or, that green tea will increase your metabolism and help you lose weight faster?

These are just a couple of the super snacks that are featured in an article I found on Yahoo.com. Here's a quick run-down of the 7 Super Snacks and a brief explanation of their benefits. For complete details about each snack, visit this page on Yahoo.com.

1. When stressed, eat 1 cup of Low-Fat Yogurt or 2 tbsp of Mixed Nuts. Why? Because they both contain certain amino acids that are known to decrease anxiety, so instead of reaching for a soda, grab one of these two healthy treats instead.
2. To increase your metabolism, drink Green Tea rather than fasting. Why? Fasting causes your body's metabolism to shut down, which makes it harder to lose weight. Green Tea increases your metabolism, which helps you burn calories faster and ultimately lose weight faster.
3. When you need a pick-me-up, reach for trail mix instead of espresso. Why? Raisins provide the potassium and nuts provide magnesium, which together will give you energy and help you recover faster from exercise.
4. When you need a brain-boost, reach for blueberries not ice cream. Why? Blueberries contain antioxidants, which have been shown to increase cognitive thinking.
5. When you've got a cold, drink hot or cold Ginseng Tea rather than sodas. Why? Ginseng kills invading viruses by increasing your body's production of key immune cells, while caffeine in sodas actually dehydrates your body, which leaves you more vulnerable to invading viruses.
6. Best quick breakfast option: Eggs and whole wheat toast over a bagel and cream cheese. Why? Eggs are packed with protein and are the #1 thing you should eat for breakfast because they set you up for a perfect day of eating.
7. When you want to get in the mood, eat dark chocolate rather than drinking that third glass of wine. Drinking one or maybe two glasses of wine is okay because it does increase your sexual appetite and decreases inhibitions, but by the third glass, you're just as likely to fall asleep as you are to get it going on. The cocoa in dark chocolate contains stimulants that increase your body's sensitivity and the phenylethylamine actually will give you a natural high.
   

Again, for a more detailed description of each of these super snacks, please visit this page on Yahoo.com.

Good luck and make it a great day!

Getting To Know The Real John McCain

The other day, a friend emailed me an article from the WSJ.com entitled, Getting To Know John McCain. I found it to be a very interesting and enlightening article. Until I read this article, I really didn't know that much about Senator McCain other than he was a prisoner-of-war, and he's definitely more liberal than the average Republican. But, here are some of the interesting things I learned about him from this article:

Col. Bud Day, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, fighter pilot, Vietnam POW and roommate of John McCain at the Hanoi Hilton relayed this story about John McCain to the author:

Mr. Day relayed to me one of the stories Americans should hear. It involves what happened to him after escaping from a North Vietnamese prison during the war. When he was recaptured, a Vietnamese captor broke his arm and said, "I told you I would make you a cripple."

The break was designed to shatter Mr. Day's will. He had survived in prison on the hope that one day he would return to the United States and be able to fly again. To kill that hope, the Vietnamese left part of a bone sticking out of his arm, and put him in a misshapen cast. This was done so that the arm would heal at "a goofy angle," as Mr. Day explained. Had it done so, he never would have flown again.

But it didn't heal that way because of John McCain. Risking severe punishment, Messrs. McCain and Day collected pieces of bamboo in the prison courtyard to use as a splint. Mr. McCain put Mr. Day on the floor of their cell and, using his foot, jerked the broken bone into place. Then, using strips from the bandage on his own wounded leg and the bamboo, he put Mr. Day's splint in place.

Years later, Air Force surgeons examined Mr. Day and complimented the treatment he'd gotten from his captors. Mr. Day corrected them. It was Dr. McCain who deserved the credit. Mr. Day went on to fly again.

Later in the story:

Another McCain story, somewhat better known, is about the Vietnamese practice of torturing him by tying his head between his ankles with his arms behind him, and then leaving him for hours. The torture so badly busted up his shoulders that to this day Mr. McCain can't raise his arms over his head.

One night, a Vietnamese guard loosened his bonds, returning at the end of his watch to tighten them again so no one would notice. Shortly after, on Christmas Day, the same guard stood beside Mr. McCain in the prison yard and drew a cross in the sand before erasing it. Mr. McCain later said that when he returned to Vietnam for the first time after the war, the only person he really wanted to meet was that guard.

And, one other story:

For example, in 1991 Cindy McCain was visiting Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh when a dying infant was thrust into her hands. The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save her life, so Mrs. McCain brought the child home to America with her. She was met at the airport by her husband, who asked what all this was about.

Mrs. McCain replied that the child desperately needed surgery and years of rehabilitation. "I hope she can stay with us," she told her husband. Mr. McCain agreed. Today that child is their teenage daughter Bridget.

I was aware of this story. What I did not know, and what I learned from Doris, is that there was a second infant Mrs. McCain brought back. She ended up being adopted by a young McCain aide and his wife.

"We were called at midnight by Cindy," Wes Gullett remembers, and "five days later we met our new daughter Nicki at the L.A. airport wearing the only clothing Cindy could find on the trip back, a 7-Up T-shirt she bought in the Bangkok airport." Today, Nicki is a high school sophomore. Mr. Gullett told me, "I never saw a hospital bill" for her care.

To read this story in it's entirety, please visit this page on WSJ.com.

Also, if you'd like to read another story written by a P.O.W. who was in the same prison as John McCain, visit this page on WSJ.com. It's definitely worth the read.

I'm posting this article today not necessarily to influence you to vote for John McCain for President, but rather to give you some insight into his character and resolve. It appears that the election will be between McCain and Senator Obama. Both men have a lot of strengths and weaknesses. And, as in most Presidential elections, the deciding factor many times comes down to character. Who has the stronger character? I'll let you decide.

Make it a great day!

Helpful Tips For Chatting Up The Family During The Holidays

The holiday season is always nice because you get to see friends and relatives that you may not have seen in quite some time. But, if you're not the best at starting conversations, I found an interesting article on Gimundo.com that might help you "break the ice." Here are some of the tips from the article:

• Pretend you're Oprah. Every one of your relatives has some sort of passion in their lives – the key to an interesting conversation is to draw it out.
• Agree and expand. Small talk can be boring – but there's a simple way to take it to the next level. If your mother complains about the dollar's value being low overseas, don't just nod your head in assent – offer a thought of your own...
• Find common ground. If you don't want to get sucked into a fight about politics or religion, it's always best to prepare a few topics of conversation that won't provoke controversy. Try bringing up movies, music, etc.

Good luck and make it a great day!

Five Ways You Can Help Save Animals' Lives

Gimundo.com has a great little article about five ways you can help save the lives of animals. Here are the five ways:

Adopt from a shelter. This is a no-brainer, but there are still thousands of pets who are put to sleep in shelters around the country on a daily basis. Before you call or visit a breeder, visit your local shelter and give some lucky pet a second chance at life. They'll definitely return the favor... PetFinder.com is a good place to start looking for a pet to adopt if you aren't sure where your local animal shelter is located.

Foster. I love this concept. A good friend of mine was fostering a Weimaraner, and they are now going to adopt it.

Volunteer at a shelter. Self-explanatory - If you can't adopt or foster a pet, then the next best thing is to volunteer at your local shelter.

Spay or neuter your pets. Without a doubt, this is one of the most important things you can do as a pet owner to help control the pet population.

Donate to an animal welfare organization. These organizations can't operate without money. Let's do our part and keep them in business.

Americans Are The Most Giving People On The Planet

This doesn't come as a surprise to me. As you know, I believe that many more positive things happen every day than negative things. And, Americans overwhelmingly give more money to charity than anyone else in the world. According to this USA Today article, Americans gave almost $300 Billion dollars to charity last year, and almost 3/4 of that came from individual donors. This proves my point. Americans want to live positive lives and they want to help others live positive lives.

Keep up the good work America! You are making a difference, no doubt about it.

Starbucks - The Way I See It Quote About Dogs

This morning, I picked up a cup of coffee from Starbucks on my way to work, and I read this quote on my coffee cup and thought I'd share it. All of you dog owners out there will really enjoy it, and those of you who have kids and own a dog will probably sympathize with the author:

"Have you noticed that dogs are the new kids? You take a walk with your kid and your dog, but nobody says, 'What a cute kid!' Instead they say, 'What a cute dog! What’s his name? Is he a rescue?' Maybe if I put a collar and leash on my kid someone will notice her." -- Judy Gruen - Humorist and author of The Women’s Daily Irony Supplement.

This quote and others are part of Starbucks The Way I See It Campaign.

Stuck in Traffic - Ideas to Pass the Time and Keep Your Sanity

A co-worker of mine said something to me yesterday that struck a chord. We were talking about her commute to work and how it takes her between 45 minutes to an hour to get to work. Since we're in Atlanta, that's not abnormal at all. It's actually quite common. She said she likes the commute because it gives her some alone time to relax and unwind. In her words, "I just take my time and let everyone else rush by me."

I started thinking about this, and I came up with some ideas to help you if you find yourself getting too stressed out with your own commute:

• Motivation - Use the extra time to listen to a motivational or inspirational book on CD. You'll be surprised how fast the commute will fly by.
• Learn Something New - Why not listen to a book on CD that will teach you a new language or trade.
• Catch up with a long lost Friend or Relative - As long as you can drive while talking on your cell phone, this is a perfect time to call someone you haven't talked to in a long time.
• Change Your Commute - This is something I do occasionally. It normally works better when going home from work rather than to work just in case it takes you a lot longer than your normal commute. But, it's amazing how refreshing taking a new route home can be. The change in scenery is a welcome change.
• Listen to Talk Radio - A lot of people listen to music on their commute. I'm one of them. But, I've found that in stop and go traffic, talk radio seems to make the commute go by much faster. You're more apt to get engrossed in the conversation where as music in my opinion is made for the "open road" so to speak.
  

These are just a few suggestions. I'm sure you have your own ideas as well. Why not share them with us. What do you do to pass the time during your commute?

Whatever you do, make it a great day!

Some Helpful Tips from Mom

My mother forwarded these tips to me. Some are pretty interesting...

Reheat Pizza:

Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.

Easy Deviled Eggs:

Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.

Expanding Frosting:

When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar/calories per serving.

Reheating Refrigerated Bread:

To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Newspaper Weeds Away:

Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.

Broken Glass:

Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken glass pieces of glass-the fibers catch ones you can't see!

No More Mosquitoes:

Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.

Squirrel Away!

To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.

Flexible Vacuum:

To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing Static Cling:

Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -- voila – static is gone.

Measuring Cups:

Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

Foggy Windshield?

Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!

Reopening Envelope:

If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily.

Conditioner:

Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair...

Goodbye Fruit Flies:

To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants:

Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it "home," can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, esp. if it rains, but it works & you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS:

The heating unit went out on my dryer! The guy that fixes things went in to the dryer pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. We always clean the lint from the filter after every load of clothes. He told us that he wanted to show us something. He took the filter over to the sink, ran hot water over it. Now, the lint filter is made of a mesh material - I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like.

WELL...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film, but it's there. This is also what causes dryer units to catch fire & potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (& to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out & wash it with hot soapy water & an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long!

What Did You Want To Be When You Grew Up?

I'd like to have some fun today. I was talking to a friend this morning. He mentioned that when he was a kid, he wanted to be a garbage man because he thought is was so cool to be able to ride on the back of the garbage truck. It got me thinking about what I wanted to be when I grew up. For me, I always wanted to be a professional sports player.

First, it was baseball when I was really little. Then, when I started playing tennis around age 10, all I wanted to be was a professional tennis player. Needless to say, I'm not either of those. (And, my friend's not a garbage collector either...Although, I think he'd still like to ride on the back of the truck sometimes...)

So, what did you want to be when you grew up? Are you now? Share your thoughts on our comment form here. Don't be shy. You can comment anonymously if you'd like.

Have fun today and make it a great one!

Quote for Today - Your Mind Alone Determines Your Mood
