Sherlene Stevens: Presidential Televised Debates

Just a few questions that I have after last night's debate between Clinton and Trump --Wondering if any one else has the following questions. Why are the debates aired at 9 p.m., instead of  7 p.m. or 8 p.m.? Don't they realize working people are tired at that time of night? Did you watch it again, today, on CSPAN? Why was Clinton dressed in all red?  Does anyone remember that First Lady Obama wore red, I believe, on election night. I thought wearing red is the symbol of a candidate of the Republican party. Will we ever see Clinton in a dress again? Or is wearing pant suits the current trend for professional women? Why were the candidates only asked questions that the American citizens had already heard their responses via earlier media and press? I believe I would have been disgusted to have secluded myself--away from my usual surroundings--to study probably for hours upon hours just to be asked the same questions over again.

TV Channels: Soo Many Choices

From the Editor What an enjoyable time I had at this year's Harmony Global Picnic. If you were to review my web site you will notice that some of your strategy suggestions are already being launched. Since my recent employment termination I thought I would focus a little bit more on the company. I was also able to do a little R&D of my past employment opportunities since my divorce, and found that a lot of them have been from companies whose main offices were in the Philadelphia, PA area.  Most have closed down or discontinued services. I am also no longer selling AVON products at this time.  What ever the Lord has planned for me in this new season I am open to newness.  I feel free and refreshed, but a little scared in this given journey of uncertainty. Did you notice that this week's edition includes a new look to the Family Bond Paper? If you have an opportunity you may want to view all sections....
