A Journey Into My Life

Update on Carl... we just found the "Obituary" online. He served during the Gulf war. he graduated from my High School (Byron Michigan 1986), and then served in the "Michigan National Guard - 144th Military Police on Owosso Michigan. He served during the Gulf war, and was a member of the "Durand moose Lounge".

And afterwords, you'll go in the room.. lock the door.. and do the thing that "rabbits" do!

I went there in 8th grade on a fieldtrip. Really hit your heart when you are "right there" seeing it.

Just thinking here... one of these days, I will be posting some pictures from my "major" partying days. I have hundreds! Just right now, they are in a box, stored at my (soon to be) ex sister and law. Shortly after Christmas, we will be bringing all my boxes here. I'll be scanning some and posting.

ALWAYS encourage the youngsters in your life to "follow" their dreams. Everyone has a skill, and as long as family helps with what they know they are good at.. they will excel (My opinion).

Pretty easy to see the difference between the "Union and Confederate", don't ya think?

I'm pretty much done with "Blogster".. all the "gay guys" moved here, so I got nobody to harass there

No wonder "Iraq" is so fluccked up... can't even hit "Bush" with a SHOE.. grrrrrrr

He is our "worst President ever"!! Remember, you heard this from ME.. it must be true!!!

So he got an early start for "next week".. Whats wrong with that?!!!

Saito56 got the "Fruit cake"?.. Thought you was in a 'committed relationship' Fredo?

I guess I have no clue, some of these internet things blow my mind...

Touched my heart.. and actually made me cry. I have 2 Autistic children. My som is more severe,, today my daughter has almost has no signs. Their ages are 17 and 11. Until 3 year ago I raised them either myself or with their mother. I had them both as a single parent about 6 years.

They are now with their mom because I started having seizures. They started 3 years ago. I haven't had one in 2 years, but they live with mom. I came back to Michigan so I could see them more. We now live 20 miles away.

I know the struggles. I went to every IEP, I dealt with every problem many years. I cry when I hear of someone (kid especially) who has a tougher start.

I could actually write a book on this (single male parent with 2 autistic kids), but I won't...

I'll just say... "Nice Post". Informative to most..

Age sucks!! That's one thing I can say that everyone agree's..

I live in Michigan.. most of us all know how to drive on snow, but always an idiot in the crowd.

Short story: I lived in Florida like 3 years. I went to all the chats, and we were talking about snow. Someone mentioned "Does anyone remember the last time it snowed in Florida"? 3 people in the room responded with the exact date.. was funny.. they said the schools were closed.. cars crashing.. they have nothing there to even clear the roads.

To me, basically it's cause they have no "snow" experience. Kinda like her first BJ.. felt good to ya, but something wasn't exactly right. Floridians can't drive in snow.. they are too used to a "plushy" life. Michiganders done this crap forever.. we can deal. That's why the NORTH kicked the hell outta the SOUTH in that civil war thing...

To me, Christmas sucks! It's nothing but stress, work, and dealing with the relatives you spend all year avoiding. But it has some "positive" sides. The economy gets a boost. You feel good cause you finally bought your cousin something (she will love that new soap dish).. it can be a "cheery" time.. Now onto the rest:

Mary, to me (and this is just an opinion) your problem is that you are "TOO NICE"! You have known me a very long time.. I call all as I see! I won't suggest you don't be nice (not my point - always be nice).. but my word of caution is this: You make yourself look too easy to "step on". Like a carpet.. if it looks "clean and pristine" a person takes their shoes off. If not, they step all over it and don't really care.

Many people in the world will "prey" on people they feel weak. I don't think you are weak Mary.. but you come off that way at times. Too NICE for your own good at times... The people that do are generally those that feel insecure with themselves..

So to sum this up.. MARY YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST (MOST CARING) PEOPLE I EVER MET! I LUV YA!! But also.. you need to get a "Backbone"! You can't let people walk over you just because your nice. Be NICE, but show your STRONG too.. and people will respect ya....
