Serious goals can not be taken lightly. Goals such as financial freedom, owning a successful business, finding the right partner and living a life of prosperity are very serious and require certain actions on your part to accomplish.

A tribute to mothers:
By Pansy Hamilton Brown, For The Guardian -
Nassau, Bahamas:
Mothers should dare to be different and be the queen of their households. Be the mothers who in the face of difficulties and adversities embrace the joy of motherhood and fearlessly accept the challenges of nurturing your children and serving your husbands with dignity.
Endeavor to give birth to new parenting skills and be a model for displaying a loving heart, irrespective of the situations as you teach the world how to love.
Caring mothers are invaluable, and their sterling qualities exceed the language of the most excellent orator. They are the nucleus of their families, harmonized with the devotion of fathers. The sunshine and cheerfulness that most mothers bring to their families produce children

I am in a committed lesbian relationship with children from a previous marriage. The issues of child custody, visitation and support are a given whenever children are involved in a relationship. However, a heterosexual marriage is afforded many rights automatically upon union whereas a same-sex relationship has limited to zero rights in many parts of the world. Whenever a person enters a committed relationship they are entering a form of partnership. There are certain responsibilities relevant to the relationship that each party is expected to maintain.

This is one of the main reasons I wrote my book PTSD: Pathways Through the Secret DoorWASHINGTON (AP) -- Multiple new efforts aimed at stemming suicides in the Army are falling short of their goal: The service anticipates another jump in the annual number of soldiers who killed themselves or tried to, including in the Iraq and Afghanistan war zones.As many as 121 soldiers committed suicide in 2007, an increase of some 20 percent over 2006, according to preliminary figures released Thursday.The number who tried to commit suicide or injured themselves for some other reason jumped six-fold in the last several years - from 350 in 2002 to about 2,100 incidents last year. Officials said an unknown portion of that increase was likely due to use of a new electronic tracking system that is more tho

Research by the Veterans Affairs Department provides the first quantitative look at the suicide toll on today’s combat veterans.
The ongoing research reveals that at least 283 combat veterans who left the military between the start of the war in Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001, and the end of 2005 took their own lives.
Today’s homefront suicide tally is running at least double the number of troop suicides in the war zones as thousands of men and women return with disabling injuries and mental health disorders that put them at higher risk.
A total of 147 troops have killed themselves in Iraq and Afghanistan since the wars began, according to the Defense Manpower Data Center, which tracks casualties for the Pentagon.
That means a total of at least 430 of the 1.5 million troops who have fought in the two wars have killed themselves over the past six years.
That number doesn’t include those who committed suicide after their combat tour ended and while still in the military, a
Yeah, umm…not really. While I am no Bush apologist, he is far from an arsonist. The “Bush to blame for everything” crowd and many democrats are blaming the Bush Administration for the dreadful wildfires rampaging throughout southern California. The reasoning is quite hilarious; but what else can you expect from such people.
The claim is that “because the National Guard is serving in Iraq, there are no resources to help combat the fires”.
Wrong!!! The Pentagon has stated that 17,000 Guardsmen are available and are just waiting to be called to help out.
And then, California’s Lieutenant Governor – can’t even remember his name — told Chris Mathews that President Bush’s upcoming visit to the region would be a “distraction” and that it was only for “public relations” and that he (meaning Bush) should “send the National Guard back from Iraq” to help with the fires. Umm…see above.

After the most recent Congressional non-binding resolution, every Democrat in office needs to be drug tested. In case you missed the news, the Democrats in Congress pushed a resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire. Then, just as everyone predicted, Turkey recalled its Ambassador to Washington in a stroke of outrage. The people of Turkey are also furious.Did anyone care to notice that Turkey and Israel are our only allies in the Middle East? We use Turkey for strategic purposes in the Iraq War. We also protect the Kurds from Turkey by keeping this relationship strong.Now the moronic Democrats just angered Turkey with this meaningless resolution. Moreover, it could not have come at a worse time. This will lead to one of two things, if not both: 1) Turkey will cut logistical support; or 2) Turkey will attack the Kurds and then when we tell them not to, they will point to this resolution.These Democrats need to be removed from office, drug test

Dear Useless Men,I have a hunting question to ask. Now you may say that we women are needy, clingy, and marriage driven.but not I. I am one of the independent kind. You see, I have been with this guy for three years. Great guy, gorgeous, sexy blah, blah, blah. oh and good in bed. Anyway, recently we just decided to move in together and he has been bugging me about one thing. What is that one thing you ask? MARRIAGE!!!! I love him, I love his company, I love the sex..but I was married before, and I am not interested in doing it again. (no crazy baggage.I just would never get married again). He won’t drop the subject. He understands my reasoning, he respects it, but he still wants to get married. So ??. what do I do to get the point across. I am afraid if he pushes me for marriage I am simply going to end the whole thing and I don’t really want to break things up.Thanks for your useless advice.-In denial Woman.Dear In Denial Woman,Congratulations on taking a stand agains
That’s the claim made by Frederick Schwarz Jr. and Aziz Huq in their new book.
They claim that by fighting back against the people who attacked us the president can be impeached. Here is the quote:
President Bush and Vice President Cheney committed impeachable offenses by “adopting the tactics of the enemy” in response to 9/11
Are they really serious here? Because the president retaliatedagainst an enemy that attacked us we should impeach him. I guess we should treat these attacks as separate, individual criminal activities and try the attackers in court when they are caught. That was our policy before Sept. 11th and it lea to Sept. 11th. We can’t afford to make these mistakes again. What is that quote about forgetting history?

THE CHURCH, A COMMUNITY COMMITTED TO CHRIST'S CHARITYVATICAN CITY, APR 22, 2007 (VIS) - After his meeting with representatives from the world of culture in the University of Pavia, Benedict XVI travelled to the basilica of San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro to celebrate Vespers. Before entering the basilica, the Holy Father paused on the patio of the convent of St. Augustine where he blessed the cornerstone of a new Augustinian cultural center, which the Order intends to dedicate to him. Once inside the basilica, the Pope incensed the urn containing the relics of St. Augustine and, after greeting Bishop Giovanni Giudici of Pavia and Fr. Robert Francis Prevost, prior general of the Augustinian Order, pronounced his homily. "In this moment of prayer I would like to gather here, at the tomb of the 'Doctor gratiae,' a significant message for the journey of the Church," said the Pope. "This message comes to us from the encounter between the Word of God and the personal experience of the great b
In this latest chapter of the saga of the Chevrolet Volt, the project is still alive and well. Speaking to the Society of Automotive Engineers earlier this week, GM engineering chief Jim Queen said the automaker is planning to build its Chevrolet Volt plug-in electric car in the future."We will get this into production," Queen said. "We are very, very serious about this."However, Queen admitted that GM is still trying to figure out how to make the Volt provide "profit for the enterprise."GM execs are making a considerable effort to reassure the public that the Volt is not being shelved. In a posting on the GM FastLane blog on March 24, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz insisted that "we're not unplugging anything," in reaction to the drumbeat in the media that the Volt is little more than an expensive science project.[Source: Inside Line]Continued- Article"We are 100 percent committed to making this happen," Lutz wrote, adding that the Volt is "the toughest and most exciting effort GM has und
Sorry about the lack of posts this week. I'm moving the office again and it's been a hectic week for sure! So, I'm listening to Newt Gingrich on Rush's show today. He was doing an interview segment in the second hour of the broadcast and he mentioned the Logan Act.A caller had asked him if he was familiar with it, and he said he used to throw it in the face of Democrats in the 80's. He would often bring it up when rogue dems were open to support the communist uprising in Nicaragua.The Opinion Journal had a piece written by Robert Turner. The article discusses that Speaker Pelosi may have violated the 1799 Logan Act by visiting Syria. Read here for more info
It appears as though Nancy Pelosi may have committed a felony by heading to Syria. The Logan act makes it a felony for anyone to travel to a foreign country and conduct foreign policy without authority of the president.
I doubt very much the president would ever take action on this, and I suppose I don’t blame him, but I almost wish he would.
The fact that you won’t see this covered in the media is a clear indictment on the media.

Iran military committed massacre in East-KurdistanPictures of atrocities committed last summer.The Iranian press and news outlets generally have ignored the events. However, in an interview with pro-government Fars News agency, the deputy mayor of the city of Kela Makê's (Mako) in the Iranian parliament, showed the official position towards the dreadful events that happened in Eastern Kurdistan where nine people were shot dead by the Iranian military and police along with hundreds arrested.The Fars News Agency quoted the deputy mayor of Mako about the events Wednesday, February 15 as saying, “The armed gangs supporting Abdullah Ocalan clashed with the people in one of the villages of the area.”Suleiman Jafarzadeh, in an interview with the parliamentary reporter of Fars News Agency, said about 200 opponents of the Turkish government who were supporters of Ocalan wanted to create unrest in one of the villages of the town of Bazirgan, a town near the border. He said this armed group
I feel like the time I've spent here has been a waste. I was feeling so much better until today. Right now I feel like giving up and dying. I think it's the prospect of going back to all my problems, since I get out tomorrow. I'm also upset because I've met a lot of really good people that I will probably never see again.
I feel like I belong. We are the Brookhaven family. I never thought I'd be sad to leave a psychiatric hospital. Hell, I never thought I would commit myself - not in a million years.
I know I'm not ready to leave. I don't know what tomorrow will bring and it scares the shit out of me.
Gotta go for a bit.
…a few hours later
…
I feel better now. I was pulling one of my old tricks - withdrawing from people because I am going to be physically absent from them.
Stacy, Cody and Kayle (especially) cared enough of about me to pull me out of that funk.
The past few days in the hospital have helped me tremendously. I've only had the urge to cut a few times. Unfortunately, one of those times is right now. That's why I'm writing - to try to reduce the urge. I know I could find a way to cut. I'm off suicide watch now and can check out a razor from one of the psych techs.
It wouldn't cut as good as one of the straight razor blades I have a home, but I know it would get the job done and make me feel better.

Current Mood: I've been in the "hospital" since 1/24/07, but I didn't come here (Brookhaven) until 1/25/07. The first day here I was on unit restriction and suicide watch. I was taken off unit restriction and allowed to go to the TV room as long as the psych techs knew where I was. They also allowed me to go to the dining room with the other patients. I'm still on suicide watch though.
Mom and Pawpa came to visit me. I was pissed off that someone told Granny and Pawpa about me checking myself in to the nut-house. I knew they would be ashamed and disappointed in me. I didn't want to face my grandparents.

Someone thought it would be amusing to pass on to us a virus script that destroys an e-mail list from the inside out! The good news is that no information was passed to the attackers, it simply deleted some and jumbled the remaining list and replaced it with a lengthy un-Christian rant. If you are wondering why we didn't have a back-up, we did but the 'please remove me' part was compromised enough so that we were unable to compare it to the master with the list of 'removes'. Therefore we are going to sta
