<r>That Whitesnake song...Oh Baby or something like that. Reminds me of falling in love with my ex-husband, and how wonderful things were (for a while). And I'm SO GLAD to have good memories. <E>:)</E> I heard it yesterday on the radio in my car. I sang and grinned and wondere...

Welcome back

<r>My joy...well, not trying to be all dramatic, but my joy is in life itself right now. I was very sick a couple of weeks ago, near fatal they tell me. Frankly that sounds weird to me, but I digress. I remember laying there on the couch, delirious, and thinking how easy it wo...

Is there a Loch Ness monster? I hope so, and I hope they never catch her.

You're overlooking the fact that these days 40 to 60% of the student population are adults.

Artemisia Gentileschi. Her art is stunning, but so was her life.

<t>White is not a culture. It's just a color. There are tons of Irish dance groups, Scandinavian festivals, Scottish heritage bagpipe clubs, Italian cooking classes, etc etc. Everyone keeps a little piece of their original culture - and no big deal if they do. To be angry wit...

Bless your heart, nvalleyvee. Knowing that, I have to firmly stand with LC on this one. Please don't go to the reunion - too much stress and pain.

If there are particular family members you want to see, can you make other arrangements to meet with them?

I forget that people don't know me, my voice, or what I mean when I type half the time.

I meant to encourage you to keep writing about how you're feeling, why, and what makes you feel good about these situations.

<t>((((((((( nvalleyvee ))))))))) I'm sorry you are feeling scared - but glad we're around to be with you through it. There aren't really any comforting words when we talk about family in their 90s except that they've lived a wonderfully long life in a free country with people who love t...

I've heard it said that money buys us intellectual freedom, education, security...and the luxury of discussing whether money is good or bad.

It is a tool, a very powerful tool. It's only as good or bad as the person using it.

It's only 9:30pm here in oregon. What's going on? Are you ok?

<t>Interesting! I've heard that collecting federal income tax on monies earned within US borders is illegal because the existing statute is contradicted by a Treasury law. There are groups who are fighting the tax, though it takes years to actually win. I'll see if I can find the links s...
