I have checked this out on "Snopes" and Truth or Fiction". I can find nothing that says it is false. Since much of these things were reported on Fox News late this afternoon, I am going to go ahead and send this out. Most of it is true, perhaps all of it. I really wish I knew the author. Subject: Poor Leadership A SAD STATE OF CORRUPT LOCAL GOVERNMENT LOOKING FOR A HAND OUT. Politics over duty This is a post from a fellow over in Merritt Is, FL, a reporter who's been re...

Please, Please, Please rebuild New Orleans on higher ground. Do not spend my tax dollars building dams, levees, retaining walls etc. to combat nature as nature will win EVERY time. SInce we are going to build a new city anyway due to mold and pollution requiring almost total reconstruction lets do the smart thing and build on a better cite. Give them a new city, brand new and safer.

To Be…who you really are….Or ….Not To Be …. and be who you wish to become. To Be….who you wish to become….Or….Not To Be…..and become the person you long to be. To Be….. who you long to be….

We all have a perception of mom, momma, and mother and how they will defend you to the death, always be on your side right or wrong and support you no matter what happens in your life. We all know that mothers are not alike, not the same strength of will, not the same supporting nature and that some didn’t want you in the first place and won’t let you forget it. What about the mom that planned for you, wanted you and nurtured you, loved you, in her way until you got a serious girl friend?...

As a child…….. Time passes so slowly…..tomorrow is so far away why do I have to wait? The world is so big….Never traveled more than 50 miles what a long way! Girls…..so prissy, a waste of time to even talk to one, cooties! When I grow up….mountain man? Jet pilot? Soldier? Kill people/save lives! Old people…..30 is very old, I will never last until I am 30! Fantasy’s….Saving lives, flying, being famous, hermit, hunter/gatherer! Friends…..anyone under 18 that will play with you, no ba...

I am a Caterpillar....although I am in my cacocoon snug and safe....I will never emerge into the butterfly I dream to be...the butterfly you are alreadyr...although I dream of being the butterfly and basking in the freedom of flight....I cannot become the butterfly when I have only the mind of the Caterpillar...just as you cannot be the Caterpillar when you are already the butterfly and so appreciate the beauty of the flight. I love you and I can no more change that than I can metamorphos...

My girlfriend is a dream come to life. We “met” on an internet site by chance, had a lunch date by design and quickly learned to love one another by divine intervention. We were looking for fun and friendship on the net and her picture and spirit caught my eye and a quick note from me that was soon answered. We chatted only a few times before deciding to meet and a lunch date was set. We are a couple now and inseparable. I love her as much as I have ever felt love and in only six weeks...

One year has passed since wife 1 walked out and I have had no contact with her or any of her family since when her sister calls me and invites me to dinner. Smelling a rat I asked if wife 1 would be there and is she interested in trying again. After a long pause and a sigh she admitted that it was her idea and that she wanted to see me in hopes of reconciliation. I politely declined and indicated that I had moved on and the way she handled the separation made it clear I had no choice. Bes...

Be careful what you wish for Be careful what you dream would come true Be warry of your wishes and dreams coming true Make sure you can accept the reality of what you dream and long for For what you dream for, wish for, long for sometimes becomes reality It can be a most painful experience All that is left is a shattered consiousness A jigsaw puzzle that will never be solved Pieces of lives to be mended I wanted what I cannot have I longed for what is not within me I am a bro...

My third (19 year) marriage ended officially when I moved out in June 2004, but it was over long before that. We lived as “brother and sister” for at least two years, did counseling, etc but the emotion, the spark was long gone and gone for good. I lived alone with my cat for three months with nary a thought of reconciliation or any interest in finding another relationship so I played around on some of the adult web cites and talked (chatted online) to a few (very few) interesting people....

So it is a hot August day and three guys show up with a truck to move out nearly everything in the apartment. I was left with a loaner TV on a wobbly metal stand, some blankets, my clothes and sleeping bag and a few odds and ends. At least I had a TV and plenty of floor to sleep on, we didn’t have a lot but now I had much less. My wife, the love of my life, after our lives were the best they have ever been, disappeared from my life with “sign here”. The apartment is empty and quiet, I c...

So I have been left alone in the apartment we shared, our first home, our daily love nest......I was crazy trying to figure out what was going on, what is she doing and why. Its true her hormones were going crazy, more than we could know at the time, and her behavior was very different and mean spirited compared to the sweet person I married. I was lost, alone and scared. I could not sleep, did not eat, I was so nervous. I paced the little apartment and never did go to bed for the first...

Young Love...is there anything any sweeter? My first wife and I started dating when I was just 15 and we stayed together, played together and were soul mates in every respect. We married when I was 21 she was 20 and had almost five very happy years together. Work/school every day, us together every night (I was younger then) deep in the "can't keep our hands off of each other" stage for years (Heaven). Work was good, love was good and life was a beautiful playground. After two years of...
