Me and my mommy went to this apartment complex named Crosswinds located in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Wow, this experience is unforgettable in the worst way, LOL !
Me and my mommy gladly walk into the leasing office and it is only one lady in the office and she is on the phone. She did not acknowledge us at all, so I said hello and she still said nothing.
(I know, we should have just walked out)
When she finally gets off the phone, she said yes how may I help you?
(It was hurting her to ask us that)
So, I say to her that I called yesterday and made an appointment for this morning at 9:30am.
She said: You did, who did you speak with?
Note: When she was on the phone, she stated her name was Cherie
So, I say that I spoke with someone named Cherie and I came in to look at a model apartment.
( I was being sarcastic, I really wanted to say:You know you are only one in this damn office, you nasty a@$ B*%!^!)
I know, I know but her attitude was out of this world!!!!
She said: That was me and then she grabs her keys and gets up with more of an attitude and yells upstairs to a make believe person named Fred, I am locking the doors and then says to us, it is to the right with attitude..........
Me and mommy stood there looking at each other like WTF is her Freaking problem!
She walks in front of us really fast, leaving us behind and to mention with her too the side heels that should have been flats and dirty ass pants and her wig that was greased down to her head with blue coloring in front of her hair................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As she walks, she is YELLING out, IF YOUR LICENSE&LICENSE PLATES MATCH, YOU GET A FREE DECAL, DID YOU HEAR ME? AND THEN SHE REPEATS IT AGAIN, IF YOUR LICENSE & LICENSE PLATES MATCH , YOU GET A FREE DECAL & AND IF YOUR VISITORS HAVE MATCHING PLATES&LICENSE, THEY GET A FREE PARKING PASS FOR A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Why did we not leave her ASS walking by her self, we should have turned around and let her ASS & TALK to herself.
We go inside to the apartment and me and mommy rushed through the apartment and leave out. Cherie all of a sudden looks surprised and we are walking back towards the front of the building where we parked in front of the leasing office and as she is unlocking the door, we continue to the car and I say Thank You, and she was like oh OK (Duh Look) and then Cherie says you welcome.
I was still friendly because I know we made her feel stupid, dumb, foolish and an ASS at the end.
No one should endure rudeness and sometimes it happens, maybe we accept it at times because we know how to make a person feel bad about how they treated you (us).
Sometimes we know if we knock a person straight out, then it is charges that may be filed, LOL!
It is ways to let a person know that they are Rude A$% F*&K**S that need to be put in their place.
Me & my mom talked about the experience in the car, we could have left or told her ASS off....
So, my mom called her ASS back and told her Rude ASS off!
It went like this:
My Mommy:
Is this Cherie?
You was very rude and very unprofessional to be in the position that you have.
"That attitude should be stuffed up your A$@!" ( SIKE) This is what I was thinking,LOL!
Back to what my mommy said: You need to check your attitude because it was UN called for.
How can you be in this position you are in with that nasty attitude.
You Cherie, have a great day and mommy hung up the phone very nicely....
You could hear Cherie, saying, but but, I , I wasn't , but....
You go mommy!!!!
The things we endure at times....
2ND Scenario of today: Drivers
OK, I dropped mommy off and headed off to work, and of course no one knows how to Drive!
I am in the far right lane and so this van to the left of me cuts in front of this truck in front of me and almost caused the truck to rear end his van. I decided to get over to the left lane and the guy in the van is looking down at something in his lap ( so, you know why he almost caused the accident)
He wasn't paying damn attention!
I made sure I was clear to get back over to the right lane so that I can get onto I264 West and I looked at my rear view mirror and I see the truck flying on side of the van and then he cuts the van off!
It was not cautious but people on the road make you want to slap the Shit out of them.
Just line all of the non cautious people up on the side road and just start slapping down the line at least 10 freaking times!
While slapping I will be yelling at them about their driving, and then take all license and cars away from them all ! (This would be a great idea, lol!)
Note: I also wish I had a truck that has a shovel located and hooked on the front of my truck and when someone acts stupid on the road, I want to push their Ass to the side of road and make their ASS park their car.......... LOL!!!!
I am not perfect at driving but I am cautious for self and others. When I drive I am driving for everyone else.
I Use to Love Love Driving, Yes key word Use to! : )
Note: I did put a thumbs up to the guy in the Truck!
I just get so frustrated with people on the road because they don't think about others on the road......
I was wrong to put a thumbs but he wanted to make the guy in the van know what he did to him on the road!!!!
DAMN DRIVERS!

Just seeing the questions in an application form is funny.... LOL!!
If you think about it, the questions have been asked over the period of time to that special someone, friend, lover or more.
The questions may have been asked a little differently but it is the same question to many.
What do you think of this application should there be more questions or leave as is?
This application can be a starter out app:, because the questions can go deeper then this over time when we are getting to know someone.
I would like to know what you think about this application and what questions do you ask a man/woman? What questions should be added to this application?
My questions I ask and that should be added to application is:

My Imagination running ....
If I had a man/fiance that is a Mechanic
Myself Thinking: I really love my car and I know my Baby (Car) is material. I am thankful and blessed with a car that been around for awhile and she is older now and every time I get something fixed on my Baby, I need to replace/fix something a few weeks/month later. I am debating of getting the exhaust,engine inspected for oil leak/something rattling in my engine, crank sensor, and now my strut that was replaced not too long ago. Thinking about this was making me stress/frustrated and so I allowed my mind to go into imagination overload.
This is my imagination running:
Myself: I do not want to get rid of my car
Man/Fiance Mechanic:I know because when I brought you a new car, you made me take it back
Myself: I know and you know I really appreciated it
Man/Fiance Man: What am I going to do with you?
Myself: I know but ......
Man/Fiance Man: But ......
Myself: I had my car for a long time and she is a good car
Man/Fiance Man: You do have a good car or should I say had, it is time to let go
Man/Fiance Man: Please stop looking like that, with the pouting lips and sad eyes
Myself: Still Pouting and sighing
Man/Fiance Man: I want you to drive my truck(2010 Range Rover) and leave Baby with me. I am going to buy everything new for your baby and fix everything that needs fixing
Myself: OMG, OMG, OMG I love you so much and and and I don't know what to say
Man/Fiance Man: Your smile is enough, come here you Lil brat!!!! LOL
Myself: I'm hugging him and then I wrap my legs around his waist with some kisses all over his face
Man/Fiance Man: I am liking this!
Myself: So..........
Man/Fiance Man: So, I will take care of Baby, and get Baby right for you.
Myself: Great! Why did you take so long to do this
Myself: I know, I know
Man/Finance Man: Just give me a few weeks, so I can get some work out of the way
Myself: Take your time baby, my man
Man/Fiance Man: Smile
This is my imagination running wild.... Only in a perfect world ! LOL.........

Sex Text?
I have a question for you all.
When is it okay to talk Sex after talking to someone after 3days?
If you talk about it, does it show that you are only human with needs?
Does it show the man that you are an easy fix?
Does it show that I am woman that like to talk about things without being judged?
Note: I may have not talked about things (sex, how I really feel, etc.) because I felt it was too soon, or what he say or think of me?
(Just the Old Fashion Woman in me) But I have things I want to say at times without being judged….
What is the guidelines or timeframe that makes it okay?
And while I am writing this, a by stander was looking at what I was writing and stated this:
By stander: “It is okay"
By stander: “You can talk all you want does not mean that it will happen"
By stander: “Have you been talking everyday straight"?
By stander: “Have you had lengthy conversation"?
Me: Yes we have, but it has only been text.
Me: Yes, we have had lengthy text conversations
I guess it does make a difference because it is more personal when it comes to conversation over one of the inventions ( Telephone, Cell Phone ).
Is it bad to talk Sex over text and the thing is I have not heard the voice over the phone as of yet.
What does that say about me?
I will say that I am not ready to hear his voice as of yet.
I don’t want to kill the mystery as of yet.
I may want to hear his voice all of the time (If it is sexy)
Text is fun to a degree.
Seriously, text has taken over and being personal has changed.
What does it say about him?
It could mean that he may have something to hide (girlfriend)?
He does not want to take the mystery out of it?
May want to wait until I am ready to hear each other voice over the thing called phone?
May not be a conversational person on the phone?
I know that I am not ready to talk as of yet.
I will tell you this, I did dial the number and was going to talk but I changed my mind.
So, I just dialed the number and never pushed send. I just closed my phone and continued text.
Yes, I closed my phone; I have a flip phone now. LOL
That is another conversation for you all.
I wanted to bring this up because I am going through my first stages of Celibacy!
Yes, celibacy!
He would mention things like (gym, shower, being tall etc) and that would get me to thinking about,
yes you said it , SEX!
I do like Sex but I chose to go celibate because of several reasons. “Celibacy topic for another time”
I just mentioned to him today that what he said did something to me and he knows of my celibacy.
So, to his advantage he was saying things like a passionate kiss on the lips, a kiss on the neck and looking sexy once we meet.
I will say what he was saying(text) have me taking a deep breath and a long sigh because Sex/Making Love can be great, fun, fulfilling, passionate and among other great feelings and experience.
Note: I did tell him that I enjoy text/call but he can tell that I like to text more. He is waiting for me to be ready for the more personal thingy. LOL

Emotional, Physical and Mental Abuse?
Does your partner:
humiliate or yell at you?
criticize you and put you down?
treat you so badly that you’re embarrassed for your friends or family to see?
ignore or put down your opinions or accomplishments?
blame you for his own abusive behavior?
see you as property or a sex object, rather than as a person?
Does your partner:
act excessively jealous and possessive?
control where you go or what you do?
keep you from seeing your friends or family?
limit your access to money, the phone, or the car?
constantly check up on you?
http://www.helpguide.org/mental/domestic_violence_abuse_types_signs_causes_effects.htm#signs
Is this something that needs to be questioned in your relationship?
I ask you this because I believe it is happening to someone that I love and care for.
The things I see right now is:
criticize you and put you down?
act excessively jealous and possessive?
That is the two scenarios I have seen in her relationship. I did ask her not to see him or be bothered but she likes him and just takes it as he can be a jerk at times.
You see many women/men can be assholes or maybe a jerk at times but that is being misunderstood by many of us. It is different when it comes to name calling, criticizing, puttimg you down (be littering), jealousy and being posessive towards the person that you are in a relationship/married to.
That type of behavior becomes a problem and I know that I will (self) not stand for it. I know I haven't made the best choices in men but the men that I did choose to deal with was not right/good for me but I was not abused,however(Playing head games is a mental thing.And it can become mental abuse. I know we as human beings make our choices and we may not make the right choice for ourselves. We all as people/human beings need to make decisions and choices that may not be right for us but that is called learning and growing from our mistakes.
However, we need to know our self worth and know that we deserve better.
We may get lonely or feel pressures of friends,family and society about being married before a certain age, having children and settling down.
Remember we all have our time and it may not be on our friends, family or society time because we are all different, we are indiviuals with our own likes, dislikes and mistakes. God has someone great for us and it takes patience because we may get (women/men) frustrated and lonely but don't settle just because your friends are involved or even more committed (married). The person that God has for you will come eventually.
Until then we need to go through frogs, and four legged creatures.
It is needed for when we finally meet that man/woman worth waiting for.
I and many others want our family and friends to be with someone that has their best at heart, that someone that treats you with respect and love and if we do not go through the wrong one. Then we will not know a great man/woman once they are finally presented to you.
Note: We do not need to live with any type of abuse (Mentally, Phiysical and Emotional) to know a great man/woman in our future.
So, I ask of you please let go of that someone that means you no good.
Let go of that one that has bad intentions for you, do not allow someone to mentally, physically and emotionally abuse you. Get out of it, talk to someone and ask for help. A woman/man does not love you if he treats you like your nothing but dirt under their feet.
Take control of you, love you and know that there is help out here for you.
It is ok to be by yourself, so that you can focus on you and let it be about you.
I love you and God loves you and wants the best for you.
Know that physical, mental and emotional abuse is not different over any other. It is unwanted abuse to anyone. It is not healthy for you , you and you.
If you know of anyone that is living with abuse, mental, physical or emotional abuse. Please ask them and let him/her know that they are not alone and it is help out there. I have some links and a number for further information and help.
No woman, child or man should want or have to live with any type of abuse....
Speak up if you suspect domestic violence or any type of abuse
Do:
Ask.
Express concern.
Listen and validate.
Offer help.
Support her/him decisions
Don’t:
Wait for her/him to come to you.
Judge or blame.
Pressure her/him.
Give advice.
Place conditions on your support.
Don’t:
Wait for her/him to come to you.
Judge or blame.
Pressure her/him.
Give advice.
Important Comment from Amber (Supporter):
This not only goes for your partner, but also your friends. I have had to dump several friends because they became "toxic". Even if they are abusive to others and not to you, it spreads to you like a virus and infects your life. The best thing to do is to cut them off.
I felt that this is very important as well and I wanted to add this comment.
Do not accept abuse from anyone, partner, family or friends!!!!

Important Comment from Amber (Supporter):
This not only goes for your partner, but also your friends. I have had to dump several friends because they became "toxic". Even if they are abusive to others and not to you, it spreads to you like a virus and infects your life. The best thing to do is to cut them off.
I felt that this is very important as well and I wanted to add this comment.
Do not accept abuse from anyone, partner, family or friends!!!!

Situation
Anonymous said...
I would first like to thank you for sharing your experience with everyone. It is very hard to open up to anyone after someone hurts you it takes a lot of courage.
Trust is the expectancy of people that they can rely on your word. It is built through integrity and consistency in relationships.
I am still struggling with this and want to take it a step further after reading your blog.
If a person has had an on and off again relationship with the other person without actually commiting but trying to see if things could work out. If a person is going through personal turmoil that is not specific to your relationship and ask if they can trust you? You say Yes you can trust me. Is it fair for them to use that against you in the relationship prior to the commitment? What I'm trying to say is that person has not commited you the other person is free to date whomever they want to. Yet, when they reach the point of wanting the commitment and feel that you should automatically slip into the commitment mode without discussion. Is it fair for them to pull the trust card out on you? Truth be told often times we move on physically or emotionally when the other person is unable to make up their mind. Are we living in a fairy tale world thinking that Love can last without trust or is it possible? I am not sure about you but I have wasted a lot of time by choice in the longevity of relationships waiting for the trust that never was fully captured. Is it true that the other person when asked really has the answer or are they just trying to figure out if. You can be in love yet struggle with trusting the other person when infedelity has taken place?

Muffler gone Bad!!
I was driving on I64 East going to work and it was smooth sailing (that is what I thought), I just finished talking to the Lord. So, I am feeling great and singing to myself (yes,singing to self) because once again my radio is not working. I know, I need to get that looked at, my radio does that from time to time. My baby (car) gets in her moods when she does not want to be bothered. ( You know how we are ladies) LOL.............................
Anyway I am driving and the next exit before the tunnel is coming and then I hear a noise coming from my baby (car) and I am dragging something. I am thinking/saying: (Awwww come on, What is it now, LOL, Can I make it to work because I do not want to get a 1/2 a point for being late, Is it my muffler).
I do take the Mallory exit in Hampton and I pull up in to the Hardee's parking lot. I put my car in park (you noticed, I say car when I am upset with her). I get out the car and go to the rear end of my car and I see my muffler laying on the ground chilling. LOL !
Yes, my muffler laying on the ground!! (Muffler Gone Bad ) : (
I was looking all cute in my gray trouser's and black top, so I was not going to get on knees on the cement. So, I look in my trunk and found my little blanket ( oh man, dont you think nothing ), I take the blanket and bend on my knees to look under my car and I still see the black hard rubber pieces that holds my muffler ( thank god ) so I get the muffler back up in there and secured the muffler with the black locket thingys.
And I was on my way to work once again.
I safely got to work without the relapse of a Muffler Gone Bad.
Yes, I was late but let me say that it was all good because they knew of my situation.
I just wanted to share my Muffler Gone Bad story with you all.
Just one of my great days in my life.... LOL
Hope you all enjoy. If you would like to share any stories, please feel free....I would love to hear one of your great days in your life.... : )

Can you still love him/her without Trust?
In the subway last Sunday, one drunken guy got on the train and started to shout at people. ``You know…. I love her but I can't trust her.'' He seemed really drunk and somewhat desperate. And I started to wonder if love has something to do with trust. Can we love someone whom we cannot trust? Does trust always come with love? Is love one thing and trust another? These questions never seem to go out of style.
By Kim Min-jeong
This is something that is thought about with many. Because love will never go out of style and the questions are endless. Because I believe that every human being wants to be loved, trusted and loved again.
The thing is can I , we or you love someone without trust.
I believe it is possible for a short period of time. The reason I say for a short period of time is because I was in love with someone that I trusted until he done something to our relationship where he has brokem the trust I had for him.
I was in a relationship with him for 4 years and I loved and I trusted him. I felt that he would not break my heart/trust for him. You see how heart (love) & trust falls together because love and trust is blended together.
It is one.
(I do not see how a person can love someone that they cannot trust).
We was together for years and here I was without trust because he took it from me. I will admit that I was still in love with him and he was the man I was going to marry and have his babies. I was heart broken but there was a part of me that still wanted to stay and be with him. I wanted to trust him again, but it would be a long and hard struggle to regain that trust back for him.
Even though we was working on staying together, I still found myself mad, upset,discouraged and distrustful towards him for what he did to me and our relationship. We would have our long conversations of why and how could he make me feel this way. I would find myself questioning all of his actions because I no longer trusted the man I loved.
The relationship did end shortly after trying to regain the trust back for him. I could say that love was not enough to keep our relationship together. We stayed arguing and questioning every move that he made because I no longer had the trust within me for him. From my experience of being in love and trusting the man I was with for several years ended because of no trust. I believe that love and trust is one. You cannot have one without the other.
Other statements on this topic:
Love and trust could be like bricks and cement. When building a house, we place cement before we add a brick so it can settle and attach well. If we don't add enough cement, the house might fall to pieces. To build a strong house, we will have to add enough cement so that all the bricks can stay strong enough not to fall apart. Love and trust could be something that always should stick together and survive together in building a relationship just like bricks and cement in building a house.
By Kim Min-jeong
Love without trust is no love at all. Love is based on trust. The minuite your lover has cheated or especially falls for another that person doesn't love you and that trust destroys and love also destroys because they goes together.Or maybe the person is using one of them to fullfil the void that lives in them.
By Rosepoet
I can love them, but I can't/won't stay with someone I don't trust ... Without trust you have nothing.

A Quote about Trust/Love:
“We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy”

My Adventure going home to (NY)
Hello my friends,
OMG! 2010 is here and it is great.................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do hope that all of you have had a Great, Safe and Blessed New Years!
I did go home to NY and I had an adventure that need to be shared with you all, lol!
I did not want to drive home to NY because I wanted to sit back and enjoy the ride with someone else driving. That is why I decided to take the China Bus from Virginia to NY. Of course it was crowded because it seemed like most of Virginia was going to NY for the hoildays.
The bus was suppose to leave at 11:45 pm and because of it being crowded, it took a long time to get everyone situated on the bus because the attendant was trying to get people on the bus that came at the last minute with out reservations.
When I looked at my watch it was 12:30am when everyone was finally situated on the bus.We all was ready to get on the road, instead we was approached by the attendant saying if some of the passengers would want to get off and get on the bus that just pulled up, so about 5-6 people got off to take the other bus.
Me and my brother stayed on because we was both settled and to struggle with obtaining our bags from underneath the bus would be terror :)! (My brother came to VA to visit me and his father for Christmas). I was so happy that my brother came down; it was great to see my baby brother!
So, it was 12:54am and we are still sitting in the parking lot (yes that is right, we never left)and everyone is wondering WTF!
Note: It was at least 1-2 passengers outside of the bus:
Then one of the passengers stepped on to the bus and said we have a flat...............................................
Self: WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, OMG Are you kidding me!
Passengers: Why haven't the driver/someone say this S*#% before and we could have gotten on the other bus.
Somehow the passenger figured out a way of putting air in the tire so that the bus driver can get to a place that would fix the tire.
Note:(The driver could not find anyone to come out and fix the tire) Unreal!
Self: Unbelievable, this is frag er nacile Bullshit! LOL, better not try any funny shit (Too much TV at times)
We pull off about 1:30am and we finally made it to this truck stop located off of I95 around 2 something am and the passenger gets off the bus with the driver & attendant to talk to the people about getting the tire fixed. About 10 minutes late the passenger steps on the bus and said: “We need to ride about 2miles and pull to the side and then call for help"
Self: LOL, wow this is crazy
The passenger goes back outside to continue talking with the men at the truck stop and about 5minutes later the tire is being worked on.
Self: Ok, I guess the people felt bad and decided to fix the damn tire (Should not need to drive no damn 2miles to get some damn help anyway).
I did forget to mention that it was snowing, yes it was snowing.....................................................
So, finally we was off to see the wizard, hahahaha, could not help but to say it like that, anyway we get on the road at 3 something in the morning to NY. We all made it safely to NY, which is always important.
A drive that usually takes 6 hours to 6 and 1/2 hours to get home to NY, this adventure took 11hours to get home! Wow, that is all I can say......................... : ) LOL..................................................................
Oh, yea my brother was sleep through the whole adventure!
One more thing, the passenger said that he was going to get paid by helping the driver out and the he got paid $10.00. Yes, Ten Dollars. LOL. He did say something to the driver and was like " how are you only giving me $10.00 after me helping you, you know that is not right"
Self: At least you are $10.00 richer!
Hope you enjoyed our adventure home to NY...................... Happy New Year !!!!
OMG! 2010 is here and it is great.................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do hope that all of you have had a Great, Safe and Blessed New Years!

Remarks from CBS Sunday Morning - Ben Stein
This was brought to my attention from my friend Arlene B. She actually copied the email and gave it to her co-workers and I did not get a chance to read the paper yesterday 01.06.10. I was checking my yahoo account and the email was there as well. I took the time out to read it and it is true and great to read.
It really does get you to thinking because the statements are so true. I want to share this with all of you..
I would love to hear what you think about this?
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.
My confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are, Christmas trees.
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.
I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Hurricane Katrina). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'
In light of recent events....Terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.
Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide.) We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said okay.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing yet?
Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.
Pass it on if you think it has merit.
If not, then just discard it.... No one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.
My Best Regards, Honestly and Respectfully,

It really does get you to thinking because the statements are so true. I want to share this with all of you..
I would love to hear what you think about this?
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.
My confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are, Christmas trees.
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.
I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Hurricane Katrina). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'

Thank You / Excitement/ Joy
Hello My Supporters,
I want to share my excitement with you all!
I started my blog in November and had no idea on how to get it together.
I took my time one day and asked a friend a couple of questions and
I was well on my way to setting/starting up my blog.
I am still figuring some things out,(Learning is fundamental).
I have been getting a lot of great feedback from my supporters.
I love it; it took me a very long time to share my inner thoughts with others outside of my Family and for a couple of friends.
My poems & writings are very personal to me. Some of my poetry & writings will be about my experiences, my family, friends or strangers. I finally took that step to get my inner thoughts out there to the world and I wanted to get my creativeness out to the World. I would like to help & relate too many, and I welcome any feedback. I would love a positive feedback but there are people out in this world that may not feel the same as I, you or you. I do respect your opinion and we may not agree but we are all entitled to our own opinion.
I welcome you all to my Blogs, my insight, experiences, choices etc.
I am just so excited to write and get great appreciation and wonderful feedback.
I wrote a poem 12/29/2009 (Meaningless) on my other blog:http://intheknowofsuch.blogspot.com
I had a beautiful conversation with a friend.
This is some of her statements to me:
“That poem has been how I felt and acted my whole life"
“For the first time I felt the irony between good and evil over my soul"
“Of all the poems & stories or anything I have ever read or any movie I've seen, this poem is the one I can relate to"
That is just some of her statements to me, and I tell you I was and still is very emotional because this is a personal poem and it just made me feel really good, well great because she was able to relate and it helped her. She said thank you but I thank her because this makes me really get out there and do what I need to do because I may be able to reach many more. I want to thank you again : ) ! You know who you are!!
I would like to share something else:
I am now searchable in google!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have tried to search my blogs in google and nothing, but I gave it time because patience is a virtue (at times)! LOL
I searched today and I am Searchable in Google, This is also exciting...........................
Thank you........................... : ) Happy Holidays to you all. Great & Positive beginnings to all!!
God Bless you all....
