The Path

Great stuff cindy!

Can't help you with that sister-in-law...I'm a bit shocked...but your condo will be rented!

What's your favorite recipes gary?

bad man?

Incredible...I'd let her go verses carrying the burden of hate towards someone. They're not worth the emotional turbulence. People like that clearly have serious problems to say the least. I see nothing but genuine compassion fro you Mary. However, sometimes there's a tipping point and things need to be let out...I certainly understand...let's hope they're smart or stable enough to stay away...the best to you!

Well Grumpy, I am a baby boomer, and hey, raised in Milwaukee. And by the way, Spoke with Father Groppi many times. He did become a bus driver and my wife also spoke with him many times. I was drafted into the U.S. Army and served honorably for two years. My bother was also in the Air Cav, and during his time served, endured the Tet Offensive. I watched in shock in 1968 as Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were assassinated. I was part of that era that changed everything forever and watched hope fade after these two great leaders were taken from us.

I suspected someone would take that wrong. However, currently, as I was reminded by my nieces and nephews that today we have incredible problems left to them. From a one trillion dollar deficit when Reagan took office, to a 10 trillion dollar debt, a record deficit this year of over 4580 billion dollars, 2 wars, a bankrupt financial system, a spiraling economy, an energy problem with no policy, the ending term of the worst president in history and global warming that doesn't seem to have the gravity of attention needed for the future of this generation. These are the things they remind me of, and certainly not of the great strides made in the 60's that also forever changed the world. And I can't deny to them, that these are compelling problems to the level of economic and survival for them in the future.

I left a lot of brothers and friends in those steamy jungles of Nam...and there isn't a day that goes by it seems when I'm reminded by those I see they left behind that they never will see the gray hair, children that they could have watched grow or grandchildren to live out their golden years.

I'm not as old or as grumpy as you...but I'm proud of what the baby boomer generation did in the past, and now we have to help secure the future for them. I should have clarified where those comments came from, so yes, I am not diminishing my generation, but this generation and my nieces and nephews are incredibly politically active and raising questions of where we're at today and are deeply concerned about their future and so am I.

This is a trans formative election...America will never be the same...with the new "We" generation going for Obama 2 to 1 and them becoming the dominant force in 2016 finally displacing the baby boomers...we're in for some dramatic changes in years to come...as the Republican Party lays shattered, this huge majority bodes ill tidings for them...they are energized and involved and seemed determined to save themselves...I guess they want to clean up after the baby boomers who up to now, seemed to have screwed things up?

I don't understand you anymore Bill?

You're so boring William, and so dated with your belief system. Am I glad the "We" Generation is rising and soon the majority. I hope you don't own a dog.

This is a tough situation, very tough. Clearly this man appears to have sociopathic tendencies. His efforts to control and manipulate are clearly attributes. There doesn't seem to be any appearance of compassion the core essence of a sociopath. I'm not sure there's an effective way to deal with his behavior? I think this is going to take a lot of time and reflection to figure out. I wish you the very best in this very complex and sad situation...
