Nice to see Mans/Woman’s best friends are so loved and such a big part of many American families have a book dedicated to them.

Now all we need is a BOOK of photos of our four legged friends who are what we so warmly call them "Mutts", or "Mixed Breeds".  There just as deserving and loved.

We the fabric of this country will never be IMMUNE to car bombings, or bombings of any kind.  The first World Trade Bombing was a car bombing.  These people who build the bombs and bury them like a coffin knows just what their doing and how much pain it will cause not just to the family of those killed but to the every day Joe of America.

They go so far as brain washing young children, people of all class of people to blow themselves up in the promise of virgins in Heaven. People of the Middle East Get a Life, your being used to further greedy, nasty people who could care less for you and your families after you’ve committed suicide.

Were not IMMUNE, where sick to our Heart over the loss of so many innocent people, American and Arab alike.

I had a type writer when in high school and college, where my kids had computers.

cell phones weren’t even thought of, and wireless phones now way.  I remember once my parents had a fight and my stepfather cut the phone cord to keep my mom off the phone, she was down the street talking with her friends and I ran in with the receiver and told her she had a long distant call, without thinking she took the receiver and said hello.  lol who would have thought that in just 15 yrs we’d have phones that we could walk all over the house with, talk in cars, at the stores.  Now a days you can’t go anywhere without seeing someone looking like a fool talking to himself when in fact he was actually talking on a phone.

technology is good to a point but some of it is really annoying.  In a movie, or while in church, in restaurants phones should be turned off out of courtesy for the other people around them.

You can keep your planes, I refuse to fly anywhere, I’ll drive for as many days as needed to get where I need to be, but you won’t get me on a plane, no way, no how.

Dear Liz,  I personally embraced computers when they came to be, I was a Petty Officer in the navy using the first computers to come around. They were huge and cumbersome and extremely difficult, within a few years they got smaller and much easier to use.  I had a very silly passion in High School and College and that was typing, so using a keyboard was second sense to me.  I type 110 words a minute.  And being in the Navy I had to adjust and learn all the technology that came around for the 26 yrs I served my country both as a Petty Officer and then as a gov’t employee.  I haven’t come across a piece of technology I haven’t’ been able to figure out on my own, my children are there to help me if I find something I cant get.

One wk from today I will turn 54 and when my children asked what I wanted for my birthday I was totally honest with them, "I don’t want or need anything", I told them if they choose to get me a gift make it something I will think of them when I look at it or use it.

On the negative side of turning 54, the military makes you put write the "date" as day, month, year,  now this wouldn’t upset or get most people antsy, but for me that makes my bday 9/11, as someone who was at the pentagon on that date, this wasn’t an easy pill to swallow. 

So do I stay in or go out on my bday?  this is my question to my children’s generation, not technical or generational question just one I’d like to see answered.

Lauriate thank you, I enjoy writing to you as well.  I only made it through one semester in French in high school then switched over to Spanish.  And I can only count in Spanish thanks to Sesame Street, lol.  My father named me but because he never had a son and I was the tomboy he called me Deni, and I’ve gone by that name my entire life.  I’ve a saying I say to people when I meet them, "Hi my name is Deni, not like the restaurant I don’t discriminate."  That has opened many doors for me, being able to use my name to remind people of the kind of prejudice there is in this country  and so they don’t forget what happened in Denny’s,

I never heard of the movie but I’ve put a search in place to locate it so I may see it myself.

Have a wonderful day and don’t forget to move your clocks back an hour.  Deni

Lauriate don’t mean to seem like a dummy, but for those of us who can only read and speak English, what does yours say?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, "Religion is a product of MEN", if you read the bible you will see  that the CHURCH refers to Jesus/God as the Head and the warriors (us) are the body.  Religion was developed to keep mankind under the thumbs of those who are followers.

I don’t know much of the Koran but I do know that that Jesus is called a Profit, As with Muhammad. 

Since the beginning as is has been written and proved through archeology, bible, other writings, religion was formed and used to keep the masses under control.  Those who are fanatics carry it to a much dangerous level.

I believe that God is my Higher Power and Jesus are his son, but I do not subscribe to religious standards on the religious world sets for their followers and yes the Bible was penned by man, but in my heart it was penned threw man from the Lord.

My only prayer is that this world will find peace before I leave it, I know that’s a tall order, but that is my prayers

As someone who lives in NC, I felt betrayed by his lies. He didn’t just lie to his wife but to the people who elected him, who put their trust in him (just as his wife did), he was suppose to be the person in D.C. representing our way of life and speak for us. 

I can only imagine how Elisabeth feels. 

Whoopi, these people get great medical and retirement packages and some are only on the job for two - four years.  that’s not fair.  granted we may have elected them, but we did so to represent us not get a life time pension and medical benifits for the rest of their lives.

I agree with you whole heartly we all deserve the same care. We The People are paying for his coverage (our of our insane taxes) and yet we can’t afford to pay for ourselves to get it.  Many Americans have to worry about money from payday to payday and how they’ll get what they need to make it through to the end of the month.  Not those who’ve been elected, and some of them even have the nerve to use our tax dollars to their own benifits, I wonder if they have a heart.

Hello everyone, I’m Deni, short for Deniseann.  I’m in the process of writing a book about all the trials and tribulations I’ve endure in my life. It starts from my first memory of being kidnapped as a child, and goes through to today.  I ask my friends and family (children) to read what I have done so far but their prejudice and like everything I write.  I’m trying to find a person or place to get an honest opinion.  I’m not a novas in writing, that was my main job in the Navy and when I worked for a government agency for 21 yrs.  If anyone can give me an idea of whom or what to contact I’d be grateful.

 Second, I’ve a real problem with three of my siblings, my older sister has made it her life’s job to put me down and embarrassed me whenever I’m near her, my brother won’t speak to me because I cannot support him in his life decisions, he’s the father of three young boys (all under 9) and he does coke and pot on a regular basis.  I can’t abide by his choice so he’s cut me off from my nephews —- any suggestions would be appreciated.  then there’s one of my younger sisters who just found out she’s 5 months pregnant (she’s 45) and didn’t know about it until she’d entered her 5th month, here’s the problem, she smokes pot and takes narcotics for spine injury (has a cage around her spine due to car accident), her husband wants her to abort the baby (she would never do that), her son is about to graduate from high school and her older kid even though she’s a college graduate hasn’t even tried to find a job since she graduate (2005), and says it’s because my Mother died (Mom’s been gone 5 yrs now) and she expect everyone to bend over backwards and pay her way.   THESE THREE SIBLINGS CALL FOR MONEY AND EXPECT ME TO DROP WHAT I’M DOING TO TAKE CHARGE AND SOLVE FAMILY PROBLEMS WHEN THEY A RISE, I’M IN A BATTLE WITH CANCER AND I HAVE NO SUPPORT FROM MY SIBLINGS AT ALL, MY CHILDREN I CAN COUNT ON NO MATTER THE TIME OF DAY I NEED THEM.  HOW DO I TELL THESE SIBLINGS TO JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND DEAL WITH WHAT EVER IT IS WITHOUT ME?????????
