Promoting an Economic and Legal Environment for Women's EmpowermentMar 25, 2010
UNDP Administrator Helen Clark and
World Bank President Robert Zoellick
Address by Helen Clark, UNDP Administrator
MDG3 Conference, Copenhagen 25 March 2010
(09:10 – 10:00)
It is a great pleasure to address this prominent audience on issues related to women's empowerment - a topic of great importance to UNDP and to me personally.
Let me begin by thanking the Government of Denmark for organizing this event, and for their unwavering support for the promotion of gender equality and women's empowerment. Denmark's MDG3-Global Call to Action campaign and its torch initiative is an outstanding example of their commitment.
2010 is an important year in our efforts to achieve gender equality.
It marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, agreed on at the UN´s Fourth World Conference on Women. Earlier this month the Beijing +15 review session of the Commission on the Status of Women was held at the UN in New York. In June the Annual Ministerial Review of the Economic and Social Council will focus on the implementation of commitments on gender equality and women's empowerment.
Then, in September, there will be a high level summit at the UN in New York to review progress made towards the Millennium Development Goals, and mobilize support for scaling up and replicating MDG successes.
For, ten years after the Millennium Declaration, there are positive results to report on MDG achievement. At the global level there have been reductions in poverty and child mortality rates, along with increases in access to clean water and primary school enrolment.
Yet, looking beneath the global progress, clearly significant challenges remain. Setting aside for a moment the extraordinary achievement of China in lifting hundreds of million people out of poverty, the number of people elsewhere living in extreme poverty is actually estimated to have increased in the MDG time frame by about 36 million.
Then, in a number of countries where significant progress has been made towards the MDGs, there are often disparities between the progress in urban and rural areas, and between rich and poor, women and men, and girls and boys. Indigenous and other marginalized communities are also more likely to miss out.
I am aware of an analysis of primary school attendance in 108 developing countries, broken down by location of residence and household wealth. It found that gender parity had been reached in urban areas and among the richest forty per cent of households, but that girls in poor households and rural areas were more likely to be excluded from primary education.
Overall, we see progress lagging on the MDGs where meeting the needs of girls and women does not get the attention it deserves. This is exemplified by the fact that the goal towards which there has been the least progress so far is that on maternal health.
I believe that investing in women and girls in itself constitutes a breakthrough strategy for achieving the MDGs, and that almost any investment we make in women and girls will have multiplier effects across the Goals.
• Meeting a woman's need for sexual and reproductive health services, for example, increases her chances of finishing her education, and breaking out of poverty.
• Providing a woman with just one extra year of schooling means that her children will be less likely to die in infancy or suffer from illness or hunger.
• Enabling women to hold land title and to inherit lifts their status in their family and community, and gives them the economic base from which to transform their own and their children's prospects.
In the lead up to the MDG Summit, UNDP is working with partners to identify what actions will be needed to accelerate progress on the MDGs. I have been emphasizing for many months now that the Summit and its outcome need to have a sharp gender focus.
Today, I will focus on three inter-related and mutually reinforcing areas where, if action were taken, there would be a positive impact on women's empowerment and the achievement of the MDGs.
These areas – identified in UNDP's recently released Asia-Pacific Human Development Report – are:
• expanding women's economic opportunities
• strengthening the legal status and rights of women and
• ensuring women´s voice, inclusion, and participation in decision making.
One of the most effective ways to expand women's economic opportunities is to improve their access to and participation in the labor market.
Employment is at the centre of human development. Decent work offers the prospect of dignity and self-respect, as well as the tangible benefits of income and economic opportunity. It enables people to realise their capabilities and live fulfilling lives, reducing their susceptibility to poverty, morbidity, hunger, and disease.
Unfortunately, gender inequalities persist in labor markets around the world. They can be seen in women's limited labor market participation, poor working conditions, occupational segregation, and discrimination in the workplace – including lower pay.
While more women than ever before are participating in the work force, close to two thirds of all employed women have vulnerable jobs, either as contributing family workers or as own-account workers.
Societies which narrow the gender gap in employment opportunity will also boost their economic development and rate of poverty reduction. When women have decent work, they, their families, and their communities benefit.
UNDP's Asia-Pacific Human Development Report states that the under-representation of women in the workforce has significant negative economic consequences. It suggests that raising the proportion of women in the workforce to the rates seen in many developed countries would increase annual GDP in a number of countries.
Employment guarantee programmes are good examples of actions countries can take to accelerate job creation, including for women.
In India I had the opportunity to see in action the world's biggest employment creation programme – the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. Across India, it is providing a right to a minimum of 100 days work a year, benefiting some 46 million households.
The programme is very gender-sensitive - it is mandatory that at least one third of the workers are women. At the national level, the share of women participating has far exceeded that target, with women comprising over 48 per cent of those involved.
UNDP has been associated with the design and implementation of that programme, along with others around the world designed to narrow gender gaps and tackle discrimination in the labor market.
• In Ghana, UNDP, together with the Government and the World Bank, has helped provide women with technical training to facilitate their access to the information and communications technology sectors.
• With support from UNDP and UNIFEM, Costa Rica has successfully implemented the "Equality Seal". It is a voluntary process which certifies that private sector companies are promoting gender equality in their work place. Other countries in the region, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay, have followed with similar initiatives.
Another constraint on women's participation in paid work is the disproportionate burden of unpaid care work which falls on women. That adversely affects their choices and opportunities in the labor market. Too often the impact of that on development is overlooked.
The HIV epidemic has also increased the load on females of all ages. We see care giving duties increasingly shifting to older women and young girls. It is all too common to hear about households where a girl child ends up dropping out of school to look after sick family members.
UNDP's gender equality strategy recognizes unpaid care work as a priority area to address as we promote inclusive growth, gender equality, and the achievement of the MDGs.
We work in programme countries to establish why unpaid care work matters for development, what interventions would lessen the load women carry, and how the work can be more equitably shared between men and women.
For example, in Burkina Faso, Mali and Senegal, we have worked with partners to provide diesel-powered energy which has the dual benefit of speeding up the time spent on domestic chores and offering income generating opportunities.
The feedback from Burkina Faso suggests that this is helping to reduce the time women devote to domestic work by two to six hours every day. That leaves more time for work which creates cash income and frees up time for girls to go to school. The status of the women involved has been raised as their agricultural output has increased, and they have been able to save money.
It is also important to unleash the tremendous potential of women entrepreneurs, and to address the obstacles they may face. Supporting women to start their own businesses, or expand existing ones, empowers women, reduces inequality and stimulates economic growth.
The full benefit from these types of interventions comes when they are accompanied by access to financial services. In many countries, legal hurdles stand in the way of women accessing such services. For example, there are banks which require a male co-signatory when a woman seeks to open an account.
That brings me to another necessary ingredient of women's empowerment: strengthening the legal status and rights of women.
Land is the most important asset for many households in developing countries, and that is particularly so for poor households. Land ownership confers direct economic benefits as a source of production and income, and as collateral for financial and credit services.
The right of women to own property, including land, is recognized under international human rights law. Often, however, women's legal rights, including land, property, and inheritance rights, are limited by social norms, customs, and legislation. Armed conflict and the displacement it causes add to their vulnerability.
UNDP works with governments to strengthen women's legal rights, so that they are consistent with international norms and standards. Our initiative on the Legal Empowerment of the Poor seeks to expand poor people's access to justice, so that they can use the law to advance their rights and interests.
In Liberia, Mozambique and Uganda, for example, UNDP is supporting community land titling initiatives with special measures to protect the land claims of vulnerable populations and women.
Where women cannot inherit land, they and their children may be evicted from their homes upon the death of their husbands or fathers. According to UN-HABITAT, the HIV/AIDS epidemic has contributed to an increase in such evictions. Changes to the law in this area would certainly help women to cope with the consequences of the epidemic.
Laws which affect women's ability to control their sexual and reproductive health severely compromise women's autonomy, equality, and health.
UNDP is establishing an independent commission on HIV/AIDS and the law to look at these issues. The commission's goal will be to develop action-oriented, evidence-based, and human rights-focused recommendations for law and policy reform. We want to facilitate the establishment of supportive national legal environments for responding to HIV/AIDS effectively.
The third, and final, factor I want to highlight as crucial in enabling women's empowerment is to ensure women's voice, inclusion and participation in decision-making.
With the adoption of the Beijing Platform for Action, the international community formally recognized that the active participation of women in decision-making was a prerequisite for equality, development, and peace.
When I received the MDG3 torch, here in Denmark, I committed UNDP to advocate for women on climate change issues and to support women's voices being heard in the negotiations leading up to the Copenhagen conference. I am pleased to report, that through a partnership with the Global Gender Climate Alliance, UNDP, helped provide training and technical capacity-building for more than 500 women government delegates and practitioners.
Many of those women have been able to take what they have learned and make an impact on these issues and more at the national level.
There are many examples in our world of women making major contributions to the national life of their countries. Without doubt, however, one of the hardest places for women to enter and stay in has been elected office at the national level.
I know from personal experience that increasing the voice and participation of women in politics is essential for putting women's issues on national agendas.
As of now, women comprise only 18.9 per cent of the world's legislators - far from the thirty per cent target reaffirmed in Beijing.
At the current rate of progress, it could take another forty years to reach gender parity in the world's national legislatures, and that's obviously far too long.
A number of policy options are available to increase women's voice and participation in decision-making, at the local and national levels, and in the economy. Those include implementing quotas or reserved seats, supporting women to campaign, and requiring gender balance in managerial structures.
It was very exciting for me to be in India earlier this month when one house of its Parliament made the landmark decision, by a huge majority, to reserve one-third of Parliament's seats for women. That had already been achieved in local councils in India years ago.
Similar efforts are underway in other countries, including Papua New Guinea. The law reserving seats for women which is proposed would lift the number of women parliamentarians from one to 22, bringing PNG close to the current global average. I am proud that UNDP has supported this path breaking initiative.
In line with the "Torch commitment" of my predecessor, Kemal Dervis, UNDP has worked with partners, including parliaments and political parties, to enhance women's political participation at all levels. For example, in Albania, we assisted in the implementation of the first legislative quota for women in the parliamentary elections last year. The elections resulted in an increase in the level of women's representation from 7 to 16.4 per cent.
Successfully implementing measures like these requires dedicated political leadership. It also requires men and boys to help foster attitudes and take actions targeted to empower women.
When the new UN gender entity is up and running, I hope it will give the highest possible priority to supporting countries in these important efforts, by providing a strong voice for women at the global level, and practical support for the systemic changes needed at the country level to transform women´s prospects.
As we prepare for the MDG review summit in September, we need to focus on identifying what works, and what doesn't in our efforts to achieve the MDGs – including MDG3.
Supporting the needs and aspirations of fifty per cent of the world's population demands nothing less from us.
Let us use this occasion to promote women's empowerment, and to spread the message that empowering women is not just the right thing to do, but also is critical for meeting the MDGs and the other internationally agreed development goals.

A drunken motorist suspected in a high-speed chase during which two people were killed and nearly two dozen injured near Texas' South by Southwest festival, told police he fled because of outstanding warrants and feared prison, court documents showed on Friday.
Rashad Charjuan Owens, 21, from Killeen, Texas, was charged with one count of capital murder and is being held on $3 million bond, the Austin Police Department said on its website. Police have said additional charges could be added later, such as numerous counts of aggravated assault with a vehicle.
He was subdued by an officer using a stun gun after the incident near SXSW in Austin.

If we had a sequence of anyone other than Bob Burnquist doing a switch kickflip Indy 360 on vert, we'd probably write a caption like, "Holy crap! Can you believe this?" Bob's made the mistake of being too good too often, and now he gets lame apology captions. Sorry Bob.
This sequence has something for everyone. For skaters it has a textbook kickflip frontside noseslide. For non-skaters it's a sequence of one of the characters from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. For non-skating girls, it's a sequence of Andrew Reynolds' ass. Everyone wins.
Once Joel spelled Stefan's name wrong in the magazine, and Stefan's mom called and made Joel cry. For the record: Stefan Janoski, switch heelflip.
If the common cold was an empty swimming pool, Omar Hassan would find a cure. Ollie-grab-in at the Basic Pool.
Colt Cannon has one of those names that journalists (and pretend journalists) love. Here's why: Colt Cannon takes the safety off and blasts a bulls-eye of a frontside half-Cab heelflip. Lame, huh?
Thrasher magazine named Geoff Rowley as its Skater of the Year, despite the fact that he doesn't live in the Bay Area. That's almost as crazy as frontside 180 nosegrind down a waist-high ten-stair concrete banister.
Like father like son. Tosh Townend's dad Pete was the surfing's world champ in 1976, and it's looking like young Tosh (pictured here doing a feeble grind in L.A.) could be headed toward similar glory. Wait a minute, their is no real world champ in skate. Nevermind.
Rick Howard is like the Rick Fox of skateboarding. Both are tall, rangy, explosive, utility players who may not always win player of the game, but who consistently contribute. Their only noticeable difference may be in the realm of facial hair, where Fox reigns supreme. Evening-time frontside boardslide.
One must wonder if Rodrigo's grandparents know that the American skateboard media, in their ultimate laziness and inability to properly research anything, have massacred the Teixeira family name, referring to him as TX. Carney, Mesa, Phelps, Patterson, Whiteley, pull your heads out of your asses and start earning your money. K/F L/S in S.D., CA.
Tyler Hansen gets loose with a kickflip backside 50-50.
… And here is where we randomly insert the phrase 'amazing skater'. No reason, it just seems to work near photos of Marc Johnson doing fifteen-foot backside 180 nosegrinds.
While in Tokyo, Danny Montoya Montoya'd a three-flat-four.
Did you know that as vast as the Roman Empire became (covering almost all of Europe, Asia Minor, and the Mediterranean), the Romans never successfully invaded Scotland? The ancestors of John Rattray kept Rome and its bloody aqueduct, roads, sewers, and education systems south of Hadrian's Wall. Highland-style frontside noseslide.
Greg Harris backside Smith grinds a railing that most likely belongs to the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Once famous for its Pipeline Skatepark which contained the original Combi Pool, Upland, California is now a street skater's wet dream, complete with dozens of little concrete schools and year-round warm weather. Danny Garcia, noseblunt slides in paradise.
West Coast Willy Santos frontside tailslides at the 56 Banks.
After heelflipping a gap, Chris Dobstaff crooked grinds across a picnic table in San Ysidro, California.
Sweet panoramic photo of Tim Bruns doing a feeble on a shopping-cart corral in L.A.
Kareem Campbell has more style in his whole body than most people do in their little finger. Wait a minute … strike that … reverse it. Double-set kickflip.

Chasing rainbows Trailer (2012)
02 November 2012 104 mins
A story about the illusion of getting rich in Romania. In a country where stories of striking it rich are everywhere, anyone thinks such a thing is not only possible, but it's easily achievable. The storyline follows two destinies: one is of a young couple, Marius and Cosmina. Marius wrote an imaginary name on a lottery promotion ticket just to drag Cosmina. And the draw makes him the winner. The other is of two adults. Because of their lack of knowledge when it comes to modern technology, they get fooled by e-mail spam, fall for a false online lottery and loose their last savings. The stories meet at the end, when they loose all hope and refuse their only chance of getting rich. Finally we realize that the illusion of becoming rich puts ordinary people in extraordinary situations.

text: Hello all!! I just recieved my Acekard 2i from one of the sponsor sites.. It works like a charm. I love the interface and it's given me no problems whatsoever with lag or anything. Works perfectly as advertised. Also, Pokemon Black and White work with no problems!! So I highly recommend this card to anyone who's iffy about buying one. However, I do have ONE question.. How does the download play work? I'm mainly asking about the hosting. My friend has the real cartridge of Mario Party DS, so usually when he came to my house (I had an R4 Christmas version), he would host the game on his cartridge while I waited in the multiplayer menu in the game. Now that I have the Acekard, I should be able to host a game.. I gave the Christmas version to my gf, and I want to play Mario Party with her. At the bootup screen, I click on Download Play, and it just says "searching for download software" or something forever and doesn't stop. Why is it having this problem, and how do I host a game on this card? (I went on the roms and pressed Y, and "enabled" the download play option.. So it can't be that) Thank you in advance for your help!!!

Workingmumma - Good luck for Friday!
K&P - 14 is great! Yay!! No wonder you're sore! Hope you're feeling better today. I didn't have any bleeding at all after EPU, so I can't help too much there - sorry. Hope it settles for you soon.
dancingbutterfly - Hope you're feeling better soon too.
kdsd - Keeping everything crossed you get good fertilisation rates for those eggs.
Sel - How are you going on the exercise front? I've been doing lots of thinking about it too I've gone from being really into sports/ PT training, to dropping all of it when FS told me to cut down, and now doing nothing except the odd walk. Erghh. But now I'm ready to get going again!
lackers - My clinic is the same! BT 14 days after 5dt. So annoying. Not sure what you mean about the forms though? I don't have any forms for tests - I just show up at some point on that day and they do them. I guess all clinics are different.
MrsJ - Yay for 5 weeks! I know time is going to drag until the scan, but we're here to help you waste some!
Peonies - Very frustrating about the timing. Hope you can get some answers today, and either way hope you have a great break.
1xbabyplease - Hope you're doing okay. K'iesha can be a cow, in more ways than one! Lots of looking after yourself needed (wine? chocolate?)
Luckyme1 - I wish I could say something helpful, but this whole process really does suck. The treadmill sounds like a positive move though - I should probably reinvestigate mine at some stage!!
Wunsi - A modified roll call sounds like a good plan! I have no idea either though...
Clem - The snow sounds good! Where did you go?
AFM - Started the Progynova today, and have a scan booked in for Wednesday next week (29th). Will do FET after that scan, depending on where the lining is up to.
Hoping for a Father's Day baby!
Had a big meltdown last night. Told DH that maybe the fact I was never clucky/ maternal and don't get pregnant easily means that I'm not meant to be a mum, and that I suck at it. My body can't do anything naturally. Getting pregnant.... then DD ended up being a CS, and then I failed at BF. I know it's not logical, as when I mentioned that to the IVF psych she pointed out that I had described my DD as 'awesome', and she couldn't be that awesome if I was that rubbish. She also said 'so what' to all the other things, and said if I want my next baby to be as awesome then I should really do all the same things again! I was just feeling down.
DH was lovely, and made me feel better. He did something very sweet, which was to point out that we had known each other nearly 10yrs, and I have about 5000 photos of him on the computer. DD is 2, and I already have 7500 photos of her that I've labelled. He said I couldn't be that rubbish and unnatural about it all if I loved her enough to do that.
Not explaining it very well, but he made me feel better anyway. And then I had some wine, which made me feel even better.

GirlX - I understand completely. I've been having some of the same thoughts. I was never very maternal, wasn't sure if I even wanted kids. It wasn't until later in life that I did decide I wanted them - really not until I had met the right person, my DH. And as it turns out he is infertile. Maybe that is the universe's way of saying I'm not meant to have them. But I want them now, with DH - and I think he wanted them even more than me. He would be such a great dad. It's all just depressing, but maybe trying to force it too much is going against what's meant to happen. Crazy talk??

Hi girls -
Clem - i hope you had a great snow trip <3
Girlx - don't worry, i bet you are an amazing mamma <3
Peonies - i've had the same thoughts - if i can't even grow good eggs, does this mean that it's the universe's way of saying I shouldn't have babies?
AFM - fert rates are in ladies:
Of the 14 eggs, 6 were mature, and all 6 have fertilised. I'm really happy as last time, I got 9 eggs, 5 were mature and 3 fertilised - none were particularly good and none were frozen. I'm hoping that the DHEA, Luveris shot and CoQ10 had something to do with this. K'iesha, please please PLEASE work your bogan magic and keep my embies strong!

I feel crap! My blood test only showed a level of 279 which they tell me is low and that I have to keep jabbing for another 6 days.... that cant be a good sign? Does anyone know how low that level is? How bad is it? So another blood test friday and with any luck an ultrasound monday and then off to EPU a couple of days later. Should I be nervous??? im kinda freaking out! oh and a new roll call would be a great idea/update.... I think I am "still waiting for AF" lol

K&P - Yayyyyyy!!! That's great news about the results! When is ET?
Peonies - Not crazy talk, but probably not accurate talk either (and I apply that to myself too)! I feel exactly like that in the low moments, but in the 'rational' moments I don't believe there is any cosmic plan/ destiny and that all kinds of terrible people have kids - and I like to think I'm not too terrible! I think this all just messes with our heads, and makes us doubt ourselves. It's a sucky sucky thing, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Girl X - the ET, if all goes to plan and our embies are ok, will be on Saturday.
I think we IVF girls all go through the inevitable "I shouldn't be a mum" thought, I've even heard of women who think that us not being able to conceive is a sign that we're not supposed to have babies (WORST THING TO SAY TO SOMEONE), however there are so so so many women out there popping out babies who have no business bringing them into the world. As far as i'm concerned, it's women like us who absolutely deserve to and should be having the babies as we're the ones going through so much to have them, we have so much love to give these little ones
Peonies - from reading your posts on here, I know that a) you should be a mum and b) you'll be a loving, beautiful mamma

And you're right. I know that I'm a good mum to DD. I adore her, I treat her well, I never speak badly to her/ shout at her, and I do everything I can to give her a good life.
It's just in those black moments when the TTC/ IVF gets me down, and I start to feel that I'm no good because I couldn't do all of these 'natural' things. But natural is not always best and, I think, is largely irrelevant. There are plenty of crappy natural things out there too, so I don't know why (and others) let it get to us sometimes.
A friend said to me that she would never do IVF as it wasn't 'natural'. Well, neither is taking the contraceptive pill, neither is my hair colour, neither was Clomid (without which I wouldn't be alive - as my mother took it to conceive me, and DD wouldn't be alive either), neither is medication that we take when we're sick.
You are absolutely right that we will all be great mums, because we want it so much and we have already given so much to make it happen.

KandP - That is fantastic news , will be willing all 6 of your embies to be strong for you. I too had bleeding after EPU, not massive but it was all over the hospital sheets and I spotted for a couple of days after.
Clem - welcome back from the snow, are you somewhere warmer now?
Kdsd - keeping everything crossed for you as well
Lackers - we get forms as well and have our bloods done at a pathology centre, they give us our forms at transfer (from memory)
Mrs J - it's great you're 5 weeks now, I think it feels longer getting pregnant through iVF because the journey is soooo long and you find out so early. Bubs will be here before you know it.
Peonies - For our FET I have been on HRT. I started on progynova on day 1 and increased it every 4 days, yesterday I had my scan and, as my lining is ready, I started crinone and FET is booked for friday. Could you do an HRT cycle while you're away? That way you would only need to take Progynova with you and they can scan you when you get home and then prepare for FET?
1xbabyplease - sending hugs your way
Luckyme1 - sending hugs your way too . Hope you enjoy your treadmill. I've started back at the gym and we've been doing lots of walking, we live on the side of a mountain so we've been taking the kids and dog up and enjoying a coffee at the top.
Wunsi - I went straight from freeze all to starting HRT FET cycle 1 week after EPU. Hopefully they'll let you go straight into FET, it's a bit gentler on the body than a fresh cycle but I am more moody on these hormones than I was with injections.
Sariele - I apologise for my delay in replying, I will try and send some info through today.
Tigger - wanted to check in on you and see how you are, you've been in my thoughts
LKeith - I notice your signature says ?FET this month, are there any updates, I will keep my fingers crossed for you
Sel - well done on starting up the exercise again, I think it's good for the mind as well as the body (I hate exercise but I'm making myself do it). I'm an Adelaide born girl - I used to love walking and horse-riding on the beach regularly, I really miss the beach and make sure I spend lots of time walking it whenever I go back to Adelaide.
Dancing butterfly - I hope you feel better soon, flu's are awful!
Nicb - welcome, I am also an RN, thankfully I don't have to do as much physical work as I am not in the hospital setting anymore
GirlX - don't doubt yourself, mothering is not about how babies are conceived, born or fed. You sound like you are very devoted to your daughter and who could ask for more. I had 4 c-sections and my first baby refused to BF and started losing weight, I had to go back to hospital for another week to sort out feeding and he left bottle-fed and very happy. I had planned a natural birth in a birthing centre and was told 2 weeks before my due date that my pelvic outlet was too small to deliver. I was devastated and felt like I'd failed until a beautiful midwife shared her story with me and made me realise it's not about how they come into the world that matters.
I really hope I haven't missed anyone and I'm sorry if I have.
AFM - I'm feeling relatively good at the moment. I'm very nervous about Friday but everyone at the clinic is very relaxed about it so I will try and be as well. According to my clinic and paperwork I will have my blood test on 3/9 which is 2 weeks from yesterday, not far away now.......

I was taught that you write personalized thank you notes to people who give you gifts or do nice things for you. Thank the giver for the specific item, mention how you will use it or why you will enjoy having it, offer a personal comment that is specific to the giver, and thank him/her once again. And I am trying to teach Gloria the same thing.
But it's really hard when she keeps receiving those fill-in-the-blank thank you notes.
You know, the ones that say
Dear ________,
Thank you for the _________.
Your friend, __________
Or some variation on that general theme.
Those things make me crazy.
I know they are simple.
I know they are quick.
But they don't express anything other than "I'm doing this because I have to."
There's no thought.
No effort.
No personal touch.
Maybe I'm just "old."
I know I'm older than many of the other moms from Gloria's class.
Or maybe I'm just "old fashioned"
Don't like those new-fangled, time saving thank you notes!
We will still write personal notes each time a thank you note is needed.
Dear Reader,
Thank you so much for reading this post. I really appreciate the time you spend reading my blog. I love to see my stat counter climb each week! And comments? Those are awesome! I hope you'll come back again soon!
Thanks for stopping by! We were a family of three, until we added one more (cat, that is), making us a family of four. In 2012, we added four more...one husband, two girls, and a dog. We have a full plate as a party of eight!
Adoption, blended families, pets, school, running...it's all here. Pull up a chair and read a while. After you do, please leave a little comment love! It makes me happy...and y'all know...if Momma is happy, then everyone is happy...at least at our house!

Too many children these days have the thought that gifts are expected and they don't do thank you cards. They say 'thank you' but they don't take the time to write our their thank you thoughts.
Thank you for sharing your blog with us.

As a business owner I would of fired anyone who didn't come to work for that stupid reason. Then they can have every day off.
@Daniel Digger McShay its not biggoted to not want criminals in the country immigrant isnt a race by the way illegals are not a race either they are from many races they are just criminals period. if they come here legally then fine they get respect the same respect as all US citizens who obey the law. come her illegally then you are just a criminal and if you take off work to stand up for criminals you have proven you are not trustworthy and that is a legal reason to terminate employment. the bigot here is you for assuming that others are bigoted for disliking criminal and untrustworthy activity.
Daniel, besides posting something so juvenile (is that one of the first words you are taught? "bigot") you miss the point entirely. Americans do not want criminal illegals here. If you are a legal immigrant yourself, knock yourself out. We're happy you're here. If not, you are here illegally and need to go back and then go through the proper channels to possibly return. President Trump is protecting the AMERICAN citizens against CRIMINAL ILLEGALS, WHY is that so very hard to understand? Lastly, I can guarantee with your attitude about white people and the way you toss around the word "bigot", an employer wouldn't want you anyway so no worries!
I agree, that would show me who NEEDS firing!
And I can't wait for "The Day Without Women"! Sure, let's just give men another reason to think women are unreliable at the workplace. These lunatics are so short-sighted, it's laughable. All this immigrant day (I feel sorry for legal immigrants!) accomplished was to give thousands of already struggling families one less day without pay. Way to go, morons!
Nightwolf I don't know of anyone who would hire a dumbass liberal like you.
Great example for children. If you don't like something you don't have to go to school or go to work. Just stay home! If you are here illegally you need to leave and come back legally. Just like my grandparnets did when they came from Portugal. I will fight for our country and its upstanding law abiding citizens. If you are breaking the law to get here how can you build a life of honesty and character? You can't as it will be built on a lie.
How about #foreverwithoutillegalcriminalaliens?
Does anyone now anyone who was negatively affected by this silliness? I wonder how many of those businesses paid their staff for the day of lost wages? Probably not many!
I don't. I went to community college as usual, got my breakfast on the way, and all was normal. I also bought my gas from the Indian guy like I do every week. He was happy to get the money. But people around here aren't stupid. As for the big cities, can we please have this event every day of the week?
exactly correct - those who most need a day's pay were hurt by this - guarantee the useful idiot restaurant owner in Williamsburg did not pony up for a paid holiday for the kitchen and house staff.
I honestly wasn't even aware it happened until I read this! HAHAHAHAHA!
Which is why they were encouraged to "take the day" .... these employers know what they are doing! hahahaha
We didn't notice a single thing different here in our West Coast town.
I know a bunch of business owners where I live. Any that participated did NOT get paid.
don't just stay home, pack your shit and go back to your country of origin and come back legally
I saw their list of "so-called" demands. Still laughing and trying to sputter NO WAY in between guffaws!
or don't come back at all - stay there!
right? come here ilegaly and start making demands, hahaha
or not!
Don't come back period. We let in over one million LEGAL immigrants every year. That is too many. There are not enough jobs for our own citizens. Illegals must be stopped at the border and booted back across!
When are they going to stop this "no immigrants" propaganda? It's about "illegal immigrants" and there's a BIG DIFFERENCE PEOPLE! If I was a legal immigrant, I'd be pissed that they are trying to lump me into this circus. Why would a business that hires legal immigrants go along with this stupidity? It's as ridiculous as when the fast food workers (only fast food workers, no one else) deserve $15 an hour. Oh, and I love the demands...no ICE means no law enforcement. Hmmm, I wonder if they would like a country with no law enforcement?
And looking at all those empty schools?...makes me realize how much our tax dollars are going to educate illegal immigrants. If...legal immigrants decided to not go to school as well?, then shame on them for turning against a system and government that has helped them.
That is what I saw also! Empty desks showing how many criminals we are paying to educate and they don't even WANT an education!
because that is the fact, and we know how liberals and facts are
Lisa: Each school gets X number of dollars per day, per child from the Federal Government. Can you imagine how much $$$ they lost due to this ignorance!!! I believe that there's also a lunch program allowance per child too.
THat lumping together is what got so many LEGAL hispanics voting for Trump!
They needed the day off from all the bs whining and crying.
Ummm, really, is anyone listening to what Donald Trump is saying. He wants to get rid of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WITH CRIMINAL backgrounds!! All these parents that didn't send there kids to school, how many are legal and how many are illegal. How many are really paying taxes, both income and real estate, how many have a real social security number, how many of these employers paying these immigrants cash so they don't pay tax and insurance on them! I can go on with this!! I am a first generation Mexican American and my parents came here legally. They paid all the fees to become a resident and raised 6 kids!! They paid taxes for everything, income, house, etc!! i was raised in an all Mexican community, so I know first hand on how many come here illegally and get paid cash from these businesses!! So these protesters need to focus on becoming citizens and worry about protecting your children again these criminals YOUR PRESIDENT is trying to get rid of!!
He is your PRESIDENT too if you came legally (welcome, by the way, to ALL legal immigrants).
It doesn't fit the "National Equirer" mentality narrative they are promoting. You have to remember, many many people get their news from rhetoric or from misleading headlines, but never read the story... just like standing in the checkout line and reading the headline on the National Enquirer.
Maria, good for your parents and you. You do know what's going on so much more than the rest of us. Why other legal immigrants go along with this stuff is beyond me. My ancestors came here from Ireland because of the potato famine, came through Ellis Island and did it legally. they were treated like trash for generations but they were strong people and truly wanted to be Americans.
Oh, OK...... So Now this Group is making "Demands"??? They sound just like the RACIST Hate Group: Black Lives Matter!! Hmmmmm......
ah a full day of not having fast food places., no donuts..coffee...pizza...tacos, or your dirty house cleaned...... I may have a breakdown from it all..OMG...can I do this all myself???? Can i function?Kids taking off from school just to get the day off....yes...really intelligent....and I guess all the libtard kids were out..not the ones who are hard workers and stay in school. YOU kids are the smarter ones, the ones who STAY in school..
.its encouraging to those of us who should stay at home and eat a nice dinner with our LEGAL Immigrant family...wondering what the heck is going on with this ridiculousness with these OTHERS who dont understand a word what the President is saying. ..
...........hmmm...yes...very detrimental to people who really really need this junk food, or their grass cut...or snow removed.........AND....talk about ignorance amongst the IMMIGRANTS...you lost a day of pay.!!!! HAHAHHA, yup thats really smart.....
......and ITS ILLEGAL CRIMINAL IMMIGRANTs YOU THICK HEADED MORONS, NOT LEGAL ONES, IF YOU ARE LEGAL you have nothing to worry about..........now its time to learn the English language too, its a very good time to do this.........and you all separate yourselves into a group that TOTALLY STANDS OUT, yes...sorts you all out into herds of stupidity and no common sense.........too bad we dont have dunce caps to pass around.
They don't need dunce caps to show their stupidity! All they have to do is open their mouths to speak, and when they can't utter a sentence in English, they are had!
So the mothers that kept their kids home from school think that hurt us???? Why would I expect anything smart from them. They do not realize that can ill afford not to go to school? And she has to speak Spanish to the kid?
Did the businesses that supported this idiotic closing of their businesses pay their employees for lost wages? I would never enter these businesses ever again. The ALIENS have no rights to make any demands on any of us but we do of them.
The headlines/storylines should read:
"A Day Without ILLEGAL Immigrants"
I intentionally capitalized the word ILLEGAL, to be sure all of the leftist trolls, were unable to overlook the "operative" word, that galvanizes the intent of the recent EO!
As with the vast majority of the left, there is always one "operative" word left-out or added to the narrative. This is the crux of the most recent leftist phenomenon, also know as, Fake News!
I know and that difference really ticks me off and is what gets to MANY Americans. SOME legals took the day, but mostly it was criminals and I say YAY let true Americans work instead! Thank you CRIMINALS for showing the country how many of you there are and thus how many JOBS you are taking, how many DESKS your criminal students use, etc. etc. The employers love them because they don't have to pay them well and they don't have to pay tax on them when paid under the table! That ruins competitiveness for the other companies that do things right! So glad that DT is doing all he can to stop this!
How about "A Day Without Illegal Immigrants Noticed by None!"
Trump never said tha immigrants "aren't important." What he said is that many of the immigrants have come here illegally and a large number of them have criminal backgrounds.
They will make up their own words and claim they came from Trump. He is SO not what they are claiming, but I had to take my client's advice and just laugh at them. He also seems to love the legals. Go Trump! Please be our POTUS for the next 8 years. Only next time, there probably will be very VERY few dem votes, and Killiary will not run again after losing twice!
Good to see that people realize that this "day without" didn't put the message across as planned (to disrupt lifes). Taking children out of school is denyig them an education, just shows another reason our schools system is failing when parents rather take children out of school then educate them. There are enough school holidays already and school year is too short.. All I saw in my area which has a big number of illegal immigrants was one closure, everyone else continued on as usual.
I've lived in the Midwest for 52 years and mistakenly allowed my driver's license to expire. I became aware of this situation when tendering my license to prove my identity, in order to cash a check from a customer of the bank. Since I didn't have an account at this bank, I had to prove my identity, in order to cash the check.
The point is, US citizens are subject to proving their identity in numerous scenarios in our society on a daily basis, but requiring illegal immigrants, to follow the same SOP, is considered discriminatory! This does not compute.
My grandparents were immigrated from Russia, they came here with children LEGALLY, they settled in PA, worked HARD saving money, moved to NJ, bought property and a Bar, WORKED hard for what they had, NO HANDOUTS, NO INTEREST FREE LOANS to start their business, it was all LEGALLY with HARD WORK!!! GET IT!!!
Living in the Detroit area, I do business with MANY American's who came here as legal immagrants. They are some of the MOST patriotic people I have ever known! My grandparents were LEGAL immigrants. They were so proud to be Americans that they actually named my father "George Washington" (first and middle name). I have a feeling that if my grandfather was still alive he would have given these idiots a PERMANENT day off, as would many of my friends who own businesses that I mentioned with whom I do business.
If you are not an illegal immigrant, get back to school & work. In doing so, each individual should provide proof of citizenship. Perhaps a nationwide reset is appropriate, whereby every business & educational institution closes for a day, i.e. a national holiday and the next day, only those with proper & current citizenship status, are allowed back on the job or in the classroom.
If you came into this country legally and became a United States citizen then you are welcome. If you came in here illegally and do not have United States citizenship or a green card then I hope ICE comes for you and your family and sends you back where you came from.
This is what these sorry anti-American bottom-feeding scum do!! When they know they don't have a leg to stand on, they take the whole thing out of context and put a whole new FALSE context to it. They can't argue against CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS-FELONS in our contry so they try to make this into something it definitely is not-hate of immigrants. We have no problem with immigrants. They respect our country and our laws to enter by legal means. Illegal aliens are called thus because their mere presence in our country is a crime. If you stand for the rights of criminal illegal aliens-rapists, drug dealers, child molesters, robbers, etc. then you are a traitor of the worst sort and an enemy of the state and in my opinion you should be held and treated as such. I say arrest them every last one and send them and their kids back to where they came from in the first place. I also say arrest and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law any entity that shields them from ICE and immigration law.
we are a nation of immigrants...LEGAL immigrants. Please learn the friggin difference!
We are a nation of Americans that come from all corners of the earth. My great grandparents were immigrants. I am born and bred American. And if we need to be technical, every nation is a nation of immigrants. American Indians migrated from somewhere. So did Mexicans and Europeans. Lol
Didn't even register a blip in the Tampa Bay Area! Here I thought only immigrants would do some of these jobs.
Seth, immigrants or criminals, which?
Are they talking about LEGAL IMMIGRANTS or ILLEGAL CRIMINALS? I think this country will do just fine without all of the criminals! Look! Desks for the kids whose parents actually pay taxes! Gotta love it!
Never missed them...oh wait they still committed crimes so I was busy
all I know is if people no showed over this stupdity they would be unemplyed where I work .
My thoughts, when I saw the crowds of immigrants who did not work, that's a lot of jobs taken from legal citizens.
How disingenuous.....it should be A Day Without ILLEGAL immigrants.
I'd start posting resumes on the door to show how many Americans need jobs. Like everyone has said, it's the illegal ones he's trying to get rid of not the legal immigrants. Start calling it for what it is. My family are immigrants and came here legally. How unfair for my family and others who have. Liberals are proving each day that liberalism is a mental disorder.
There was a day without women? Hadn't noticed, but this day without "immigrants" was great, the traffic was better and store lines were shorter. We should have one of those at least three times a week, helps the people who actually make society run have easier drives on the highways and freeways.
if they are here illegally good job....send them back....
A day isn't going to make any difference. Take off a month and watch how quickly you are replaced. Put your fist in a bucket of water. Remove your fist and the size of the hole you left in the bucket of water is how much you will be missed. We've had Kmart, Sears, Macys, Best Buy, Steel City Flooring, Trader Horn, and a few other stores close down recently in our neighborhood. Believe it or not, life went on and people found other places to shop. Didn't miss a beat.
As usual, the Progressive Leftists blur the true issue, trying to make it seem more severe... by saying without immigrants instead of illegal immigrants. So who lost their pay? Immigrants. Who got a bad mark for missing school? Immigrants. Who 2was unfairly punished by this selfish attempt to smear President Trump? LEGAL Immigrants.
WHAT A PACK OF LIBERAL CRAP!!!!! No one is complaining about LEGAL immigrants! The VAST MAJORITY of people in the US are the decedents of LEGAL immigrants. I don't care where your family origin was, if you are here legally and desire to assimilate into American culture, obey the laws, and become a good American citizen ... YOU ARE WELCOME! I would be proud to shake your hand or even hug you in welcome! If you wish to do harm to this nation or it's people, or violate it's laws ... just leave before we have to hunt you down and throw you back over the border! BTW, our immigration system is part of the laws of which I speak!
Do not stop at not going to school or work, please continue right on south of the border and do not come back. We would prefer legal immigrants who want to be here to contribute to our society and the rule of law.
Sure would have been great if ICE and immigration had used this opportunity to corral hundreds of illegals at some of their "rallies".
[This comment was deleted.]
What everyone has forgotten is that the Mantra of the lazy left is "WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS! WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS!" and thank God that the responsible among us ignore this silliness to support the lazy lefts NEED to not perform their jobs as they have agreed to and SHOULD do.
They brag about the wonderful and VITAL jobs that they re refusing to do and and it makes me wonder that if they are such terriffic workers and laborers, why did they leave their native countries to bless us with whining and complaining.....go home and make your native lands a BETTER place and then see how we feel.
to show the ignorance of the Liberals...we are a country of immigrants, always have been...they seem to be confused with immigtant vs illegal...which is what we do not want...
The idiot kid who said his school lost money for that day... Unless it was a "count day" which only happens a few times a year, the school lost NOTHING. In fact, they got money for nothing, because those kids butts weren't in a seat. I really laugh but also pity at all of these people who think they "know how stuff works", when they really are just repeating rhetoic that they have heard from OTHER uniformed liberals.
Actually many states have gone to computing a daily attendance which determines how much money the school recieves the school does loose money if a child is not in school. This is a reason why many schools have been cracking down on students that are gone to many days. I think it is nine days per quarter. The schools that have students that leave around Christmas break will actually unenroll the atudents if they are going to be gone over 10 days. Then they get reenrolled when they come back. Schools have been implementing perfect attendance incentives to get the kids to come to school.
Yeah, I wasn't negatively impacted in any way by this "day without immigrants!" I wonder why?
HEY!!! You brain dead people. There is a difference between Immigrants and ILEGAL immigrants. Wake up those of you who do have a brain...
Are these people really that stupid? Do they not know the difference between legal and illegal immigrants? They use the words interchangeably.
How about we declare a week, (month, or year), without liberals and snowflakes?
I think ICE should look at these restaurants that closed. If they do hire illegal immigrants they should be penalized as allowed by law. As a legal immigrant I am E-verified every time I start a new job.
I'm sure one could make the case for the economic impact of fewer criminal illegal immigrants: less demand for police officers, court related employees, prisons and prison guards. Studies show nearly one-third of those in our jails and prisons are illegal immigrants. But I don't think that would be a winning argument, do you?
they only hurt themselves, they act like we can't live without them. funny how they all didn't show up for work and i didn't even notice a difference. so they screwed the school out of some money by using their children as pawns and now will bitch because they only screwed themselves
I'm so sick and tired of the collective bullying by an uneducated bunch of people that spread fear! I don't completely agree with everything President Trump says, but I can't find ANYTHING, EVER, ANYWHERE that suggests he is "banning" LEGAL immigrants. So all of you LEGAL immigrants should take a step back and really look at the big picture. And seriously, if you really think about it, if I were a LEGAL immigrant, I'd be pissed as fuck that I busted my ass the right way to achieve the American Dream and the ILLEGAL immigrant living next to me was getting a free ride from the government. I just wish people would stop putting all of their faith in an obviously corrupt media.
This worked so well, I declared a "day without legitimate citizens". I took the day off and slept in. And still accomplished absolutely nothing as did these dim witted sheeps and agenda driven morons.
This would be something wouldn't it? Chemical plants going boom, no pilots so no planes taking off, no grocery stores open, no elective surgeries, no schools/daycares-yep, they'd better hope the 50 million of us that voted for Trump never decide to take some time off
To really make their point, these folks should give us a year without illegal immigrants. I'd be curious to see how that would go.
Can we have ANOTHER "A Day Without Immigrants" please? I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be crass or anything, but I forgot all about it and I didn't realize that it was happening yesterday. (It was yesterday, right?) I mean they need to put up a sign or something so we'll know.
I'm also wondering if anybody would be interested in putting together "A Day Without Employers" ??
Take your little Mexican flags off of your rear view mirrors and get the HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY YOU ILLEGAL BASTARDS!
This is kind of like Berkeley and the riots down south they hurt themselves and their own businesses? How dumb can you be and still breathe? Obviously pretty dumb but God still loves the dumb-I think they need butt hurt Cream!
I can take a guess most went to work. Pics of emtyness in the hallways & classrooms must of been after hours...love fake news spin
then dont hire illegals its you know ILLEGAL. Dont commit a crime come here legally allow the system to vett you stop stealing tax payers money. If your a bisinuess then hire only legal U.S. citizens and legal immigrants who follow the law. great job idiots on costing all those people a days wages and hurting absolutely no one except yourselves and your employees. there are plenty of all those things at the grocey stores that where still open and still had plenty of employees. you just made people save money and at most lose a few minutes of convienence.
The incredible dishonesty of the left is always amazing. Most of us, including Trump, are NOT anti-immigrant. We are anti-ILLEGAL immigration. Why don't they seem to get that fact? What part of "ILLEGAL" don't they get? Are they stupid or simply dishonest? We know that there is no possible way that our nation can adopt all of the world's poor and that open borders means the destruction of our sovereign nation. We also believe that adopting refugees is not wise unless we know with a fair degree of certainty who they are and why they are coming.
Just think how much money could be saved, taxes would be lowered, and how much better schools would be with fewer students. Just think how many jobs would become available when there are tens of millions of Americans out of work and underpaid due to the corrupt system of using illegal aliens.
100 billion a year
How stupid! Illegal immigrants..not immigrants!!!!!
So how many illegals are going to refuse their welfare in protest ?!?
Become a patriotic Legal Citizen of the United States of America OR become Gone!!!
In our area of relatively high percentage of Hispanics, those who stayed home impacted only Hispanic run businesses - mostly mom and pop type small businesses. It didn't affect larger or chain store type businesses. So as it always is with a leftist based protest, they hurt those they proclaim to be helping.
This really happened? I didn't notice.
I FEEL LIKE SCREAMING!!! HE'S NOT AGAINST ALL IMMIGRANTS!!! What do people not understand about this?!!!
Don't you get it? They want to comingle the notion of legal immigrants with criminal aliens, because many of the criminal aliens have legal immigrant relatives. They are trying to prevent their illegal relatives from being deported. What happens to anchor babies if mom and pop are deported for being illegal aliens? That's why they want to treat the entire group as poor persecuted "immigrants"; to further their illegal scheme of entering illegally, possibly also being convicted of crimes, but having anchor babies to thwart our immigration laws and keep from being deported. It's very simple really, why they are pretending to not know the difference between the two groups.
If the student's excuse was that BS note then they all get busted. But hey, if a school allows illegals they get what's coming to them.
Fire workers who didn't show up and report the families who kept their kids home from school
Illegal immigrants, BIG difference. Now get back to school and learn THAT.
ICE agents are rounding up CRIMMIGRANTS ,not legal immigrants ! People just looking for a reason to skip work , school , ect...
I say "GREAT" to President Trump's face-down of the media!
We were all immigrants at one time or another...What about us? What about immigrants who came to this country through the proper channels? Who wanted a life with great opportunities, a safe place to raise their children, Freedom to speak, an education, etc...etc...etc... If staying home from work & school is your way of dealing with this situation, are you cut out to be an American, a citizen of The United States? Did you not leave a Country of chaos, rights for some but not for all, oppression, murder, perhaps, yes, even slavery?
You are doing what This Country gave you...freedom to disagree... If you truly heard for yourself what has been said, you would know you are welcome here. There is a process of order not chaos for entry. This is for the safety of all people. If this is where you want to live & work, do not bring to This Country behavior you so desperately wanted to leave.
I wonder if all these businesses that closed down paid their workers anyway or did those workers simply miss out on a day's pay?
All these brainless little morons calling people bigots. The key word is illegal not immigrant no one has anything against immigrants we only have problems with illegal immigrants and if they are illegal they are not immigrants they are criminals. All you little cry babies are showing your stupidity by constantly saying that this is about immigrants. And all the people encouraging their children not to go to school that shows your stupidity that shows your hatred for your own children.
If you are a legal immigrant I say welcome! If you are here illegally you need to go back where you came from. To all these businesses that had to close yesterday, if you had legal workers your business would not have been closed. You need to lose any tax exemption that you are taking for wages and benefitS. IRS needs to compile a list and put every one of you through the audit process. ICE needs to do a raid on your business because you are breaking our laws just as the illegal immigrants are doing.
Think of all the jobs that could be offered to American Citizens. Lot of unemployed veterans and poor people could benefit. We have a lot of Legal Immigrants that have become law abiding citizens, why the illegals are the ones on "STRIKE"? If you want to be here, follow the guidelines for becoming a citizen, or get the heck out of our country.
Where were all these protesters whe Pres Obama deported 300,000+ Illegals during his presidency?
So will those who "stayed home" get paid?
demanding things before they will go back to work?!? Seriously?!? It's easy, hire someone else. Put smeone to work that is receiving unemployment In their city or county.
My commute to work was a little easier yesterday. Maybe the illegal aliens can stay home every day!
Yeah Trump is so hateful towards immigrants that he married one. IT is all about illegals. Also Trump is not a woman hater, as he had the first successful woman campaign manager. But yeah Trump hates on women. I wish the left would get brain transplants or get educated because they obviously have no clue about what is real or not. Oh wait they pulled kids from schools to prove they have no smarts, or refuse to educate themselves, then wonder why they are stuck in a none progressing job.
I wonder how many of these "caring" individuals paid those employees for that day off? I am willing to bet...not many. They lose by not working, so yeah, yay?
Once again, the media is trying to make everyone think there are people against LEGAL immigration instead of ILLEGAL ALIENS. LEGAL --OK, ILLEGAL --NOT OK.
So everyone that didn't go to work or school is here illegally? I seriously doubt that. But the employers didn't make any money, neither did their employees. I personally was unaffected by them not going to work. I went to work and got paid. These people are foolish.
Hey, I've got an idea. Have ICE find out who didn't show up for work and anyone who is here illegally, deport them. It would save ICE a lot of time and save we citizens and people who are here legally a lot of money. Also charge all the employers who are paying their employees under the table with tax evasion. Sounds like a win-win to me.
As a grandchild of immigrants, I went to work because I know that Trump and the administration are pro-immigrants. The problem is not immigration, it's about illegal immigration. And it's about Muslims trying to sneak into the country to harm us.
find out who missed school...have a truancy officer visit the home of each child that missed school and ask for backup from an ICE agent. Results might astound
DUH..who did this hurt...the immigrant that got no pay and the employer who closed his place of business...didn't hurt Trump a bit!
I didn't even notice anything except, better traffic, fewer incidences, and faster turn around times in the coffee shop....
Can we have everyday like thursday?
Perfect way to let ICE know just exactly WHERE most of the illegal aliens ARE!!! And I wonder if any of these illegal aliens realize now how they were tricked by Obama when he ask them to register so they could stay here? They believed him and most of them did go register because they thought he would 'take care of them' LOL, now ICE knows exactly where they are!!!! Obama had no intention of 'taking care of them'. It was just a ruse and they fell for it hook, line, and sinker!!
There were protesters here in NJ and all their signs were in Spanish. I keep thinking about the Polish restaurant that had all Spanish employees. Not exactly authentic Polish cuisine.
What they don't realize is that if they weren't doing their jobs, someone else would be doing them...probably unemployed people, teens needing jobs, and out of work veterans. People aren't protesting that we have LEGAL immigrants working and living in the U.S.....it's the illegals. Americans have the right to say who and how many legal immigrants come into our country. If you're here, assimilate, become an American, and stop the racial allegiance just because that's your ethnicity.
A day without immigrants or a day without ILLEGAL IMMMIGRANTS?
There is a difference between immigrants & illegals! My family are immigrants who came here legally! Illegals broke the law to bypass the laws!!!
Someone hit me with the facts that whites collect the most welfare benefits, something like 43% followed in increments by the other ethnicity's. I fact checked this because this also needs to be changed but back to illegals. I did some research and found out that illegals cost America something like 100 billion dollars a year, the data is out there. With over 50 billion of that being in healthcare.
So it is only illegals that bring good to our country? This seems abut outlandish eve for someone like me. Maybe our children could learn more faster since we wouldn't have to pander to the illegals. Maybe more Americans can get jobs that illegals have. I welcome all legal immigrants. Just not the ones that come here and create a market for identity theft so they can work. If they were legal this wouldn't be as prevalent.
I don't have a single thing against anyone from anywhere who comes here legally but I am tired of putting up with our laws being disregarded. No country in this hemisphere does not have laws pertaining to legal immigration into their country and they regularly toss out the people who break these laws. The whole premise that we will fall apart if the hispanic population leaves is ridiculous - we managed to run businesses before they came and we will manage after they are gone.
Now ICE knows exaxtly where to go to find the illegals...all of the businesses which were closed for the day.
Wow you people are f**king idiots. Immigrants DID make this country great. You boneheads keep forgetting to use the word ILLEGAL when you protest and riot. Illegal Immigrants didn't make this country great. They snuck in, took your federal money and state money for themselves, brought over their children, cousins and parents and live in the shadows and don't pay taxes. And YOU idiots protesting support them with YOUR tax dollars. Talk about stupid. You don't even know what you're protesting. If you did - you WOULDN'T.
Wait... the schools in Texas were empty without the immigrants? Gee... does that mean we've been pouring billions into the education of illegals?
Anyone in public education knows that's exactly true.
There's the border... if you don't like America's desire for security, feel free to go right back across that border.
Oh; And I didn't see any closed businesses, but if I had, I would not go there again.
Maybe Americans ought to take a day off, and see how the illegals survive. Or better yet, maybe America ought to just shut off the food stamps.
Let's get a couple things straight:
You are a guest here.
Guest do not make demands.
You have no vote, here.
The very least you could do is serve in the US Military. You'd get citizenship if you just did that... but few of you choose that option because you just want a free ride.
And we're getting tired of being told how to do things here... of being called racist... because you just want a free ride.
ILLEGAL immigrants, idiot........
Wasn't seen here..immigrants like their jobs...
This article is stupid and those people are ignorant and don't get it. Many trump supporters have done said they will not go to restaurants because it was owned by an immigrant and said America first eventhough the restaurant was owned by a us Citizen that was not of European decent.
@coach...I think you misunderstood Maria's comment when she said "YOUR PRESIDENT". I interpreted that as he's your President, so show him the respect deserved, because he's got your back...protecting you and us, from the possibility of corrupt illegals committing crimes against the community.
One word: Stupid.
When is the press going to stop using the term " seven majority-Muslim nations " and us the term "seven nations that promote and train terrorist." Words matter and the media is good at using words to make waht they say implie something other than what is the issue, like undocumeted workers in place of illegal aliens.
I bet CNN will be covering this likr crazy.
Who started this Nonsense of lumping together,..LEGAL...and ILLEGAL..Immigrants???? Everyone's Ancestors at one time immigrated to this wonderful Country. They also,..learned the language,..worked hard,..pulled together!..They did NOT protest,..marched,..whined and complained about everything that was different,..odd,..new,..or not to their liking.
THAT..is what made this Country GREAT. Protesting with fists in the air,..filthy language and threats,..which most likely they could not do in the Country most of them came from,..that is NOT moving forward or productive. BTW,.. 54..years ago, I immigrated to this super Country..legally, and had to have MANY SHOTS, to make sure I did not bring any disease . This is THE best Country there is!!
Hard to believe all these companies higher illegal immigrants.
Thanks liberals for the mess YOU created in this country. You aught to be ashamed of yourself.
Yeah maybe us conservatives need to go to liberal town meetings and chant "Shame Shame Shame" and scream, "This is my America... and ya'll screwed it up!"
Haha! All this proves is that more legal Americans can get jobs that the immigrants abandoned that day. So many people need jobs, so exit the immigrants, and let Americans run our own country.
Bozos, everyone is immigrant. Seems left can't distinguish between legal and illegal any more
Btw it's illegal to hire a illegal alien
I really would like to see what a day #withoutillegalimmigrants would look like. One day with them at home, off the streets, out of stores, out of all businesses.
What the day also proved was how many jobs and seats in schools (some private) could actually be in the hands of LAW ABIDING IMMIGRANTS, VETERANS and other jobless Americans.
immigrants are great. I love having them in this country. ILLIGEL immigrants have NO place in this country.
All of this is so cute. Since Trump has won, everyday I get up and enjoy watching the left implode. Do they not realize, independents, such as myself, will NEVER vote dem again after seeing this display of protesting (rioting mostly) everyday. I know plenty of other independents as well who have left the Dem party. The Dems will never win another EC election again as long as they keep wearing those diapers and sucking those pacifiers.
With the left distorting everything Trump says and does this does not surprise me. They left out "Day without illegal immigrants" means no junkies loitering outside business, no lazy welfare recipients using the bathroom all day, no illegals stealing from the stores or using free medical treatments at the local hospitals. Trump never said anything about LEGAL immigrants, but then you lame moronic liberals always have a hard time getting your facts straight.
The business that were closed in support of people pulling such a snit; such assinine behavior of people who think they are so special that they can get away with walking out on their job for a day, have lost my support! If you come to America to be an American, welcome! If you didn't, please go home!
Meh...They wasn't afraid to take a day off. They just sell their drugs and make up for lost day.
Great way to show ICE exactly where to look. Stupid! If the school is empty be ause all thats there are illegals, never reopen that school. Its tax money that should be diverted to "legal" kids schools. This pritest was great....shows us what to close, where NOT to soend our money, and wher the government needs to swoop in. If you are here LEGALLY, we welcome yiu with open arms and ask you to assimilate. If you are illegal, you better run......
This is at the top of the STUPID LIST! Almost 98% of Americans are immigrants! Its the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS that need to go. How about having and 'Day Without Illegal Immigrants March' so it will be easier to get u back to your home country. The left is turning logic into stupidity.
If you have put yourself in a position that your business is shut down because of all of the foreign invaders you have hired don't show up one day, then you are part of the problem. IMO you should be put out of business permanently and fined.
Can you clarify, are you talking about ILLIGAL immigrants to stay home or LEGAL immigrants to stay Home?
Sooooo, they are sayin all the immigrants they are protesting for are illegal???? Hmmm seems to me there are A LOT OF LEGAL immigrants. Who could supply goods and services just aswell. And they are MOST WELCOME to be here in THE USA.
Wait a minute. There was a day without WOMEN? And I missed it? D am n!
Immigrants are part and parcel a part of the American experience, ILLEGAL immagrants are just that criminals...
The left does not like to make distinctions. Legal immigrants do.
A "Day Without Immigrants" – a statement of hypocrisy or just plain irony?
Restaurants in the U.S. have a negative reputation for flourishing off the backs of poorly paid workers. The person washing the dish you used for your $12.00 burger – is usually earning less than a living wage. In many cases; due to "loopholes" in labor laws, he/she is not benefiting from minimum wage laws that protect most workers in the USA.
Restaurant pay disparity includes establishments from low and moderate priced national restaurants chains, and it goes all the all the way up to those hoity-toity celebrity restaurants that charge $50 to $200 per person for the privilege of consuming an expensive "gourmet" meal. Yes, a gourmet meal prepared by low-wage "kitchen help." Yes, the same kitchen help who couldn't even dream of dining in the very place they work preparing and serving your breakfast, lunch and dinner.
So, why do all these wealthy restaurateurs put on the show, a "Day without Immigrants" in some ostensible attempt to show their so-called support of immigrant workers?
Simple Reason #1 – Immigrants are restaurateurs' lifeblood to wealth and their lifeline to staying in business.
Simple Reason #2 – Restaurateurs need a CONSTANT influx of immigrant workers to remain in business.
Simple Reason #3 – Most immigrants (both legal and illegal) are hard-working individuals, who dream of a better life in America, and they are willing to accept very low wages and poor working conditions to achieve that dream.
Simple Reason #4 – Without willing immigrants, most restaurateurs would either have to find another career or change their business model.
However, if they changed their business model to include a living wage for ALL employees, then immigrants would be an "undesired" employee by most restaurant owners. After all, if restaurant owners were forced pay the same wages as Walmart, Target or Sears – do you think they would still get their employees from outside the country?
In my view, most restauranteurs are WORRIED about keeping their pockets lined and their egos fulfilled by exploiting cheap labor. After all, "immigration rights" from a restauranteurs' prospective is actually a synonymous term for protecting and preserving a never-ending supply of exploitable and cheap labor.
During his campaign, President Donald Trump promised to enforce immigration laws that have been a part of our legal system for many years. People of the Left are trying to convince the public the president is making his own laws regarding illegal immigration. It is simply not the case. Yes, the president can sign an Executive Order, but that order can be easily challenged by the check-and-balance system of the judicial branch of our government.
Bottom line: wealthy restauranteurs are putting on the "Anti-Trump" dog and pony show. The reality is their actions are just "smoke and mirrors" to take the focus off the fact they don't want their "good thing" ruined by immigration laws that have been on the books for many decades.
Liberals sure are stupid people. They don't know the difference between legal and illegal. But they do have two people who has done the most illegals things in the world. Odumbo and Hillary. Those two need to be shot. Gutted out. Hung up so everyone can see that Dumb and Dumber are dead. Then feed their carcasses to the hogs. I didn't even know the liberals were out rioting Thursday. If I would have known that I could have added a lot of notches on my gun barrel. Those morons would have been easy targets. If you want to kill some liberals all you have to do is pass around a flyer saying you're going to riot against President Trump and the streets will be full of liberals since they have no jobs.
what these idiots are forgetting about their demands is that illegal immigrants have no right to demand anything from our government because DUH they are not citizens of this nation! i didnt see one bit of change here in oregon hell even the mexican restraunts were still open for business! the only people who really seen to be sticking up for illegal immigrants are illegal immigrants and unemployeed liberal progressives who are either paid for by george soros or have nothing better to do then smoke some dope and walk around town acting enraged !
This is all left wing hysterics and insane actions. No one is banning immigrants! That's the left's misinterpretation of a legal and Constitutiona Executive Orderputting a temporary ban on ILLEGAL alients coming from proven terroris states for 90 to 120 days until an effective vetting procedure is in place. You on the left just like to put words in other people's mouths so you can protest and carry idiot signs to make your feel good. I suggest your children should return to school as should the parents to learn to read English] immediately, you parents should be arrested for child abuse, and you should just shut your pie holes and leave the rest of us alone to contune being the only adults in the Country.
And yet no real dent was made. The world didn't fall apart and neither did America.

Currently there is no safe way for cyclists in the S. Congress/St. Edwards neighborhoods to access the shopping center on the NW corner of I35 and Ben White (anchored by Walmart). Adding a multi-use path in the neighborhoods to the north or west would provide a means for both cyclists and pedestrians to live less auto-dependent lives while avoiding increased car traffic in the area. This same approach could be studied/implemented throughout the city.
Javier Bonafont over 5 years ago
This is a systemic problem in the whole city. Highways built as barriers to pedestrians and bikes, and with most of the commercial and retail located on the access roads to those highways. This needs to be addressed in citywide codes and forced upon TXDOT which is the main culprit in most of this.
Barbara Barbara over 5 years ago
Sunset Valley did a great job with the retail development on Brody. There is a bike/walking path that starts near the Tony Burger Center and you can easily access Kohl's, Barnes & Noble etc. without braving the heavy traffic in the area. Austin should use this as a model.
Coapublic Information admin over 5 years ago
This is currently on-going in some of our shopping centers around town.

To say that we should reduce drugs in sport or eliminate them because they increase performance, is simply like saying that we should eliminate alcohol from parties because it increases sociability. So our proposal is that we allow a modest approach. ... Our proposal is enforceable, it frees up the limited resources to focus on drugs that may be affecting children, which we grant should not have access to drugs ... As we've argued, performance enhancement is not against the spirit of sport, it's been a part of sport through its whole history, and to be human is to be better, or at least to try to be better.
If they have the heart, determination and knowledge to become an athlete but are not scouted because of their genetic disadvantages it is unfair. It is unfair for those with all these values and for the fans because if athletes are all made up by genetics the fans cannot relate to them.
It is bad i think it is bad it hink i tis bad i think it is bad i think like for real that is crazy like what o my god that is terrible for the united states of america like how is this lgeal in the united states for real
Steroids can cause unwelcoming facial hair in woman. Men using steroids can develop breasts and become bald faster. Both men and women become unable to have childrenThey can cause depression ,and rage. Steroids can cause liver damage, making people die much more faster, than a steroid-free person. By using steroids, the playing field become uneven, giving an person an unfair advantage.
When some one cheats any where, they are undermining a central tenet of what ever they are cheating on. when athletes use steroids, they are singlehandedly ruining a game that so many people have worked so hard to become good at. They're spoiling chances for the future, so steroids should be banned.
I don't agree with the fact that use of steroid should be permitted in Sports. Steroid is a serious drug addiction and also can harmful effects on health in long run. Do to competition in sports i think it would only encourage people to use more steroids which effects their performance and serious health problem in long run.
