It rained tonight, for about two minutes, here in Surprise, AZ. I counted the raindrops on the sidewalk out front as they fell. Tiny splash, one. Even tinier splash, two. And even though it lasted such a short time, I had my family rush to the door and we all went out into the now cool desert night and danced about like a mosh pit of four. It was such a little thing, and yet, it was a celebration, like the fourth of July, New Year's Day and Christmas all wrapped up in one inconsequential sprinkling. I will still have to water the lemon trees tomorrow, and now the little drops in the desert dust on our vehicles make them look like the have the poxy. But, I will remember my son Santiago running about under the streetlight, trying to catch raindrops on his tongue, and my wife, Chili, giggling, and doing a pogo dance over by the palm trees.
Here is the question:
Why aren't there more moments like this in life?

They sit atop the dresser
on the veil that she used
to cover her head with on Sundays
still and curled
like a cat napping on a carpet

she's been gone twelve years now
but I can no longer bring myself to move them
in fact, I only held them in my hands
once
and that was after her first birthday had passed
after she had past
passed from past
its quaintness fails
to move me
black as habit
oily from the daily supplication
her finger strembling like her eyelid strembling like her lip strembling
to pray for those less fortunate than her
she would kneel and clutch the beads
as if they were the lifeline
to eternity
but to eternity she's gone
and only the beads remain.

What type of pet do you have?
What's your pet's name?
Why did you decide on that name?
Say something special about your pet (something that makes you laugh, smile, or just wierd things they do)


Mines:
Dog: Grey Nose PittBull
Name: FatBoy aka F-Bezzi
Because when I got him (2days old) he was so FAT that when you picked him up ... let's just say he was REALLY fat, lol☺

Instead of using $3 billion dollars a week of U.S. tax payer money. And getting 3700 American troops killed.

Why not simply hire Blackwater and take over Iraq?

Just think, you could invade Iraq witha civilian militia. save our troops lives. And then since you hired Blackwater, you could move to Iraq.

what a deal. Instead you use taxpayer dollars for Iraq rather than healthcare for American citizens.

Wouldn't the wise thing for republicans be to simpl move to Iraq? they love it better than America. And they have blackwater. what could be better?

oh I know- a free ride on the American taxpayer to the tune of $100,000 per minute? http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2002780385_spending03.html

and 3700 American lives wasted for a war you could have simply hired Blackwater to do?

Do us Americans a favor next war you republicans start. Leave the American troops lives alone. And he U.S. tax dollars in the U.S.

Bet the republicans can't wait to move to Iraq.

IMO, Ear cropping or tail docking is kind of like the Abortion issue. It's a personal decision that carries risks and which I'd rather see a doctor do instead of a backyard butcher I have an APBT and her ears are not cropped. I love her ears just the way they came naturally, but at the same time, I still can't view a Boxer or a Doberman as a victim of mutilation because their ears are cropped, any more than I can view a poodle as being treated cruelly for having it's tail docked in the first few days of life by a qualified person. If this were made illegal, do you think it would encourage back yard butchers? I shudder to think of the resulting botched jobs and true cruelty that would occur if it was outlawed in America. So I am NOT for it personally, but FOR it being done by a professional vs. backyard butcher.

I am writing a manuscript in Microsoft Word for the first time. I have finished my 1st page and want to go start on the 2nd page. I can't see where I can do that without filling the whole 1st page where it will automatically go to the 2nd page. Some of my pages will not be full of script.

I met my wife over 3 years ago and now married for 2 years. When I met her she mentioned her previous men were quite large but I never thought much of it. Though our marriage never had any intimacy and seemed she was never satsified. Last week she said her previous boy friend was at least 9.5" and I was shocked she told me as though she must be still wanting it. I thought I was ok with 7.5" but now I feel I am wasting my time with her. Would it be true once a woman experienced an endowed man she would always want to go back for it.

I'm currently a freshman in highschool, and I'm aware that i might be a little too young to worry about college, but how does this sound for my resume so far?...

*I take part in Albany Park where you go to an elementary school in south chicago and help kids with science projects and crafts (community service)
*I kind of have a job... you come in early before school or your sudy hall and help clean out supplies for photography, you get paid $8.50 per hour... "fake job" photography assistant
* I will take part on the advisory board for my camp where you plan reunions, activities, some charity work, and ideas for next summer
* I haven't decided yet, but possibly I might join Relay for life which is also considered community service
*In the spring I will try out for either soccer or xcountry

impressive for a start?
... i didn't include my grades so far cause school just started

My fiancee was born and raised Catholic, but hasn't been going for the last four or five years. I was baptized Catholic, Confirmed Lutheran and ended up practicing as an evangelical Christian up until two years ago. Now for the last two years we have gones to various different churches every once in and awhile but mostly have worshipped at home.
What churches can we marry in? Most denominations seem to either require a baptism, a membership or something else!
Any suggestions? Requirements are: Must be a Christian church, and not United. If you can add in any requirements that you know of that would be great, thanks :-D
