Family - August 2006

My husband and I ride our own harleys and on night pretty late we were riding home ( on the back country roads where we live) We came up on this american flag in the middle of the road by a trailer park that doesn't have the best rep of people living there. My husband was in front of me and went around the flag, while I was probably about 200 ft. behind. I slowed down to about 35-40- mph and as I did a approx 6ft man just wearing shorts throws a 52in. ceiling fan ( with light fixture ) at me on the bike. Yea a fu**ing ceiling fan. I almost go down but did burn the **** out of my leg on the pipes. Police get there after we called from down the road and as the one out of two officers try to hand cuff him he runs toward them yelling crazy stuff. Arfter almost getting shot, They get him to the police station and he had to have medical attention for 4 days to come off the drugs or whatever he is on. Wreakless endangerment? Don't you think he wanted to hit people since the flag was there.

This question I asked my mom when I was 5 yrs old. She didn't know why but she said that all must. I cried for a couple of days telling myself in a very angry way that I DONT WANT TO DIE!! I kept telling myself that. If you were my mom what would you have told me differently or how would you respond to your 5 yr old asking you Do we have to die?

This may put a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye.
(Hopefully, it will.)
The daughter of a Soldier Last week I was in Atlanta, Georgia attending a conference.
While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer.
I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.
Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camo's, as they began heading to their gate everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering.
When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for it hit me.
I'm not alone.
I'm not the only red blooded American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families.
Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal.
Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old, ran up to one of the male soldiers.
He kneeled down and said "hi," the little girl then she asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her.
The young soldier, he didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.
The mother of the little girl, who said her daughters name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Marine and had been in Iraq for 11 months now.
As the mom was explaining how much her daughter, Courtney, missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up. When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second.

Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military looking walkie-talkie.
They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it.
After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, "I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you."
He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
He finished by saying "your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon."

The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet he saluted Courtney and her mom.

I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event unfolded.
As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause.
As I stood there applauding and looked around, their were very few dry eyes, including my own.
That young soldier in one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.

We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be an American.
Red Friday - Just keeping you "in the loop" so you'll know what's going on in case this takes off.
RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday.
The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority".
We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers.
We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing.
We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions.

Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops.
Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.
Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.
If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent"
majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?"
Is...We need your support and your prayers.
Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday.
IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON IF YOU COULD CARE LESS THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON --- IT IS YOUR CHOICE.
WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.
THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED---- SO WEAR RED! --- MAY GOD HELP AMERICA TO BECOME ONE NATION, UNDER GOD.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.





When the devil comes knocking at your door, simply say...

"Jesus, could you get that for me please"?
GOD BLESS YOU

My wife isn't pregnant yet, but we are trying soon.

When she does get pregnant, we plan to tell my family after 3-4 months.

Some people told me that a first time grandmother should be told all by herself and not with other people.

What do you think?

I wanted to tell my mother by giving her a card to open in front of everyone.

My entire family gathers once a month and I thought it would be special for everyone to celebrate the news together.

My daughter is 19, and will be going to an art college about an hour away. She will be getting an apartment, however, she recently told me that she and her boyfriend (who is going to a college near hers) plan to find an apartment together. This blew my mind.
She and her boyfriend have been dating for about 4 1/2 years, and plan spend their future together, however, they don't want to get married for another 4 years!! She told me it was because they wanted to have money for large wedding to celebrate and they've been committed to each other for so long already, (they've never had commitment problems) that they feel that getting married is just a piece of paper and a few diamonds that say their together. While I know their in love, I cannot support this lifestyle. I KNOW what they'll be doing if they live together, and it's against biblical teachings. My husband and I are Jehovah's Witnesses. Our daughter made it clear to us that she is agnostic.
How can I handle all this?

Last night my teenage kids pulled a great prank on me by painting the passanger side of my car with words, and such. Fortunally this was with the new washable paint for cars, that you can decorate you car with then wash off when you get tired of it. I drove from home to work with this stuff on the side of my car, and did not find out about it till someone came into work and said something about it. I called the police and everything thinking a girl my daughter has been fighting with did it. (they couldn't do anything since we had no proof and said it may cause more problems in the long run), good thing, since my own had done it. Not till the kids got out of school did I find out. Now I need to get them back. My son is 17 and has his own car. My daugher is 15. My son's best friend, that lives with us, is 18. Anyone have any great idea for revenge?

I am trying to care for my 78 year old mother-in-law at home, but lately she has been exhibiting abnormal behavior. I want her to continue living with me, but I can't take care of her and work too. I'm frustrated by her behavior: poor financial judgement, inappropriate laughter, jealousy, criticism, difficulty making decisions...Due to previous financal mistakes, I'm not sure she can afford to move to an assisted living facility. I need some direction and guidance, please.

The daughter of a friend of mine, 13 yo,got a really harsh punishment for her mom, for bad behavior. For 1 month the girl, except for school time, has to be in bed all the time, including weekends and holydays. No TV, computer, etc. Friends just for homework at her bedside. The girl, of course, is allowed to use the bathroom, for the strictly necessary time.
Her mom said she has an electronic device similar to a camera, a kind of sensor that can register when the girl gets up and comes back to bed. So her mom can control her punishment without having to watch the girl 24/7. With such device she can know how many times the girl left her bed and for how much time, and decide if it was reasonable for bathrommneed or not.

I think this punishment is simply cruel and can cause seriuos psychological damages. In my opinion its even child abuse.

He was in WWII. He invaded Normandy. Since he spoke a little German, it was his job to go into a lot of homes first. I've known this much for years but he wont say any more. He is in his mid 90s and his health is beginning to fail. I want to learn more about his younger years and certainly more about the war, but he isn't interested in talking.
Any suggestions?

My wife and I have been together for 5 years.

My wife is 23 years old.

She has mentioned to her parents the idea of us having a baby.

Her father was happy, her mother was not.

After a lot of mean comments from her mother, my wife confronted her.

Her mom said she felt my wife had no patience for a child and would “snap” at her children when she was frustrated.

She said my wife would not be a good mother until she has “worked” on herself.

I was stunned because my wife is patient, kind, loving, etc. and is a good wife and “mother” to our dog.

My wife said she is never good enough for her mother.

My wife has a college degree, a house & cars paid off, and a happy life and her mother is still not happy for her.

My wife cut her mother off for 6 months and went to a therapist because of her mother.

We are now seeing her parents twice a month, but they don’t know we are trying to conceive.

How do we deal with her mother when she finds out?

Some people find it unbelievable that i have called cps on my sis...but i didnt do it out of any retaliation of any kind. She mistreats her daughter, hits her, calls her bad names and recently we saw her at the babysitters and one of her little toe's is purple and the nails is about to fall off, she can barely walk. This is the 2nd time but stupid CPS calls my sis before they arrive so she cleans her room, feeds her, bathes her,and cleans her. I told CPS to arrive without notice, the front door is always open anyway. Did i do the right thing ? what should i do if cps doesnt do anything about it this time?? and by the way, this kid is exposed to domestic violence pretty much everyday cus my sis's bf beats her and she takes it. What should i do next? and im afraid my sister will try to get back at me some way, she already called my husband God knows for what. All ur answers will be appreciated.

She is 22 years old and we've known for a few years about her being a lesbian. This still is a huge issue in my family since we believe this is an abomination to God. But she's also been thru depression and suicide attempts in which she was seen by a doctor and put on medication. Now recently, rumor has it that she's been getting "messed up" on drugs. She hangs out with this drug abuser girl and mom lets her spend the night with her ALL THE TIME (my sis still lives at home). Mom's excuse is that she's 22 and she can't tell her what to do. Now mom refuses to believe the rumors that she's on drugs! I don't know what to do! My sister denies everything. I need someone's advice on how to deal with this situation and help my sister before she completely ruins her life.
