Stepping Stones

As she embraces the warmth of the sun, her mind embraces the memories of the past, present, and how the future might be. The past are the memories she holds dearest. Her life would not be what it is today without those experiences and

fun she had. She was a bad girl, but, learned quickly how to "smell" the cops,

underage drinking, illegal drugs and cutting school were some of her favorite actives, but sex was the best and the worst.

The sexual atrocities she experienced, continued for 3 months. No one was told.
This was the worse of the sex. Her life continued.

In the present, she is happily married, has children, and wishes for the "Mothers Little Helper" "What a drag it is getting old" The body aches and pains are said to be normal for mid-life.

Which brings us to the future. She's see's men and women who can't walk, who can't breath, who can't think any longer. She doesn't want to end up like this.
She prays for death prior to the pain and suffering of old age.

True Happiness

Have we really ever experience true happiness? We talk about the happiness we find from the little things in life, but I'm not so sure we really experience it. My daughter and I were at the park when a bicycle-built-for-two pulled up with 2 men on it. No one paid much attention until we began to hear strange, animal like sounds. Everyone's head turned in the direction of the swings. It was obvious that the man on the swing was mentally challenged. He continued the sounds, but the more he spoke, the more happiness you could hear in his voice. After a while, the other man helped the man off the swing. The man began to jump and wave his arms in true happiness. It brought tears to my eye's that someone could experience such pure joy from swigging on a swing. The men mounted the bike and off they went, for what I'm sure is, his next experience of true happiness.

Muslims

CAN MUSLIMS BE GOOD AMERICANS? This is certainly 'food-for-thought'. This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to finish. And send it on to everyone. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities. Can a good Muslim be a good American? This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply: Theologically - no. . . . Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon god of Arabia .. Religiously - no.. . . Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam . (Quran, 2:256)(Koran) Scripturally - no. . . Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.

Geographically - no . Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no. . . Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews .

Politically - no.. . . Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America , the great Satan.

Domestically - no. .. . Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34 )

Intellectually - no. . Because he cannot accept the American

Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no. . . .. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran does not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - no.. . . Because when we declare 'one nation under God,' The Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran's 99 excellent names.

Therefore, after much study and deliberation.... Perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. - - - They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and good Americans.

Call it what you wish it's still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future.

The religious war is bigger than we know or understand. ....

Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within. SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.

THE MARINES WANT THIS TO ROLL ALL OVER THE U.S.

Animals in my house

My children are begging me to get an animal, one wants a dog the other wants a cat.
Now don't get my wrong, I love animals, if they live in someone else's house or wondering about
in their native habitat.
Let's start with dogs, positives and negatives.

Positive: Most of them make good watch dogs.

Negatives: They smell, they drool everywhere, most will run if given the opportunity
and may come back having rolled in deer dung or been sprayed by a skunk and God knows
what else. They bite. They shed. Dog hair can be found in your dinner. It is extremely difficult
to give it a bath. It's incessant barking drives the neighbors crazy. The dog will entertain your guests by rolling over and licking it's genitals. You have to walk the dog at 3am if that's want it wants (or clean the mess).
Last but definitely no least, dogs can have this problem with their butts which require a call to Stanley Steamer.


Cats:
Positives: cats are loving.
They clean their own bodies.
They don't need to be walked.
They are intelligent
They only need a small amount of food.
and need their water bowls to be kept full.
It's great to watch cats trip-out on catnip or
going nuts trying to get the piece of cardboard
from the end of a wire.

Negatives: cleaning the liter box
cleaning up after one has hocked up a hair ball (really not that bad).
Scaring the crap out of you when the cat jumps on the back of your head
while sitting on the couch.
and
walking across the piano keys at 5am.

It's obvious to me that cat's are the way to go.

They're still not getting either.

I Hate Baseball !!!!!!!!!!

10 years ago, I married my husband. He was a huge Phillie's fan and I hated baseball. For about 5 years we tried to appease each other to no avail. I finally made the decision that I would watch baseball. I very quickly learned the players, learned their positions, learned their stats and knew what was happening when Charlie took the ball from the pitcher. I know who is being sent to the minors and who is coming up to the majors. I know the procedure if there is a rain delay. I have learned about players from other teams. I pretty much know the home run hitters in the league. I could go on but there is one thing that will never change, I Hate Baseball.

The Heavenly Truth

Twelve Gun Solute
Taps
Tears rush down my face
God bless the Soldier,
But I can never attend another Military burial.
The memories and heartache remain after 27 years.
My father, the soldier, has decided for no Military burial
after experiencing his emotions and viewing the spectators
of his own fathers Military burial. A burial fit for the king of WW1 & WW2.

Thanks Dad.

The Humans

The sun begins to lower in the sky,
Lifeguard's close for the day.
Upon returning to the room, the
humans wash the sand from each others
bodies. The female lies on the bed, the male joins her. The
anticipation falls about their bodies. Lips touch,
hands begin to wonder, the quivering begins.
One at a time they pleasure one another.
The pleasure then becomes one with each other.
The humans lie side-by-side, until the next time.

My Pure Perfection

You open your eyes,
you are so beautiful,
you are perfect.
They tell me it won't be for long.
As I rocked in the chair holding you,
God came and lifted you from my arms
into his.
This is where you will live for all eternity.
My Pure Perfection.

Waiting for my time

Although I love hot weather, I can't wait for fall. My daughter has a 21 year old brother yet is being raised as an only child due to the age difference, which falls on my back. There are some games my children play together such as Wii but that's where it stops. My husband works and I am disabled, so I'm my daughter's playmate. We go to the park, McDonald's playhouse, the lake, the Library the beach and play in the backyard. We play Grateful Dead Opoly, paint, photography, and other forms of art. The days are not easy for me mostly due to my back injury. I have stopped going to the gym this summer. I have stopped reading.
I may sound as if I'm complaining but I'm really not. I love every moment I spend with my daughter and thank God everyday I have her.

September is my time. School will start and I will be able to return to my adult activities. I will return to the gym with much pleasure and maybe finish that book I put down in June half started.

Improper English

For 14 years, I worked in Pharmaceutical Research and Development. I had to speak and write proper English. The majority of my correspondence was with physicians and nurses. Okay, here's my point. The writing on Facebook is driving me crazy. I have seen posts that have: 1) misspelled words (not typos), 2) no punctuation, 3)no capitalization. I asked my husband to try and help me figure out the meaning of a post that contained all of the above. It took us awhile, but we did it. It's really scary when someone is using their site for both business and personal contacts and clearly chose not to pay attention during Grammar School. I don't know if people are uneducated, lazy or just don't care.

Now we move to acronyms. Is there a book one can purchase to figure this out? If I see a post with acronyms I don't know, I just don't bother with it. It took me six months before I could use lol and I only use it on occasion. u r was even hard for me to write here. Although acronyms are a pain in the ass, there is one I use, wtf.

Rude, Crude and Socially Unexceptable

I sit and watch children's cartoons with my 8 year old daughter and can't believe some of the words I hear. I know kids will learn these words in daily life but to learn them from T.V. annoys me. Let me share some with you. I'll start out easy: burp, fart, poop, pee, stop me if you've heard this. Then I've also heard snot, vomit, puke, ralph, booger and diarrhea. Should I stop here? Na, might as well finish it off with projectile vomiting and explosive diarrhea. Could you imagine if Fred Flintstone ripped a fart while at work or Andy Griffith asked Barney Fife to cover for him while he has explosive diarrhea? What if Butch threatened to shoot a snot at the girls trying to gain entry into the "The He Man Women Haters Club"? Lets hock a loogy. My daughter will spit and tell me she hocked a loogy. When asked what that means, she doesn't know. She just heard it on T.V.

Sex on the beach

Two humans sitting on the beach digging their toes
into the warm sand. Seagulls soaring above effortlessly.
The sun high and warm. People tumbling in the waves of the roaring sea.
The humans enter the water swimming beyond the crowd. Their bodies touch.
They embrace. Their activities can only be seen by the audience of creatures swimming below. With much satisfaction, the humans exit the water returning
to their chairs.

For The Baby

He watches her dress once again, for the excursion.
I watch the baby as I have many times, knowing.
The transportation arrives to take them to their destination.
What needs to be done is done and they arrive home once again.
I pray the child will never know the activities of her parents.

Lacking information

I was born, this much I know. I was raised by a wonderful
mother and father yet I was lacking information. I was adopted.
This didn't bother me until my first child. I had no family history.
Nothing to share with my children because I'm lacking information.

Dream

Do the images of sleep affect
the thoughts of wake?
