I need silly, stupid suggestions on things I can say/do to stop the cynicism that is creeping up in my life. I like the t-shirt that says, "Runs with Scissors". Where can I get that?

I don't remember many details from the book. Here are the few i can recall - it's a suspense book. A boy and a girl [possibly brother and sister] are living with a man and a woman [i can't remember if the woman is their biological mother, but i know the man isn't their biological father]. The children are afraid that the man is trying to poison them in one part of the book, and they research different poisons and memorize the effects they have on the human body. There is another character in the book i remember - a young girl who had escaped from a children's correctional facility and befriended the boy. Toward the end of the book, the three children travel to an island [they ride their bikes to the edge of land, then a boat to the island] to escape the man, and he follows them there. I know this is EXTREMELY vague, but if it sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know. . . it's driving me insane! >.< Thanks for your time!

Woudn't it be funny if I went around saying, "I'm 35 and a half". When did you stop? And if you still say it, tell me why.

IADOM. It's a sentence, each letter begins a word. It has to do with principles you should have, like being diligent.

In my mind I think of her,
A soldier standing alone
Rifle by her side.
Wind blowing sand and dirt
Around her pretty face
Her light brown hair whipping about
My daughter the Marine.
It does not seem that long ago
A young girl full of pride and optimism
Signed the line to be one of America’s few
She became one of America’s proud
She did her very best, became the very best.
She stood tall in the worst of times.
Her body and mind fighting fatigue
Some of those times with
Tears rolling down her cheeks.
I think war does that
To the strongest of all of us.
Even to My daughter the Marine.
At home I cry
I admit I’m scared
Scared for her, scared for me.
I miss her, I miss our talks.
Now everything is “classified”
Or “You don’t want to know….”
And maybe I don’t
My daughter has changed.
In good ways…
She has matured in ways
I never thought she would
And bad…she is bitter
My daughter the Marine.
She hates the media
As far as she is concerned
She is just doing her job
And she wants to be left alone
Nevertheless you can see the hurt in her eyes
In her demeanor, in her spirit.
She will not be “re-upping”
She’s tired
My daughter the Marine
For the few who are ignorant
Who base their opinions on what is trendy.
There are still those who understand
Who are not ignorant
Who base their decisions on information
And well thought-out ideas.
I need not agree with the war
To support America, to support our soldiers
To hurt for our country…
To cry for our soldiers.
Just like My daughter the Marine.
It is my duty to look a little deeper.
A little deeper at my daughter.
Yes, she has changed
However, the fundamentals never will.
Watch her when the pledge
Of allegiance is spoken
You will find she stand straighter
Than any person in the room.
When the Star Spangled banner is sung
You will hear her voice sing louder,
Above all others.
She loves this country.
She has shown me by
Serving through blood, sweat and tears.
By volunteering six years of her life to protect me.
You may not consider her great.
And the world knows little of its greatest heroes…
Tonight I honor and salute my hero
My daughter the Marine.

Opposite from you at the table we share,
A thing no one can break.
Unreal love that wraps around,
The real love broken years ago.

This is the same table we've sat at,
Since the real love was made.
But the table must have doubled size,
For tonight you seem so far from me.

The distance to you is killing me,
For I know what the distance is,
The distance between you and I,
Says how much you have changed.

Your coffin's brought me as close to you,
As I ever was in your life.
Now I remember what I choose from your life,
Not what I saw each day.

The story line, if I remember rightly, links the Egyptians,the Great Pyramid and its rituals with the Druids, Celtic Wiccan rituals, Stonehenge and Glastonbury.Avisit from the Eygptian priests. It's set in the old days and one thing I do remember is about a young lad going through a ritual which he had to stay in the hidden chamber inside of Glastonbury Tor. Also the Serpent Dance of Glastonbury , the link between the Egyptians and Druids and the base number of the pyramid and Stonehenge being the same. It's old.

Don't get me wrong. I love my life, but it can't always be fun and enjoyable. There are things that everyone has to do in order maintain their lives as stable. You have to do what you have to do to get what you want. When I am in that "have to" stage in my day, I tend to go through it with a stoic, calculation and efficiency of a robot, I guess. It doesn't cause me distress, but it is hard to ignore compared to how I am when I am enjoying the fruits of my labor; loose, spontaneous, easy going and doing what I like. Does anyone else out there have this sense of duality?
