  Irongland that would make us no better than them!

  Now they're talking on CNN about the Police conducting random searches of backpacks and large packages. The bleeding hearts are worried about profiling........well too bad, it's inconvenient......but that's what's needed for the safety of all! All sporting events, concerts, theme parks, government buildings, etc. here in Florida as well as in most of the U.S.... check handbags, backpacks, diaper bags, etc. before you enter. You know it's going to happen, so you just allow time for it!

  They're reporting on the news here in the States that the young man had a bulky winter coat on and when asked to stop.....ran and bolted the ticket gate (?). Having traveled extensively through the subways (Underground) of New York City....I feel for everyone in London.

  CNN is now reporting that they don't wish to close the underground, but it's a damned if you do/damned if you don't situation should more attacks be made tonight or tomorrow! And that contrary to normal, most police officers in London and surrounding areas are armed!

  Just know that our prayers are with all of you.....please be observant, careful and safe.....but don't let a few stop you from living your lives! Their goal is to control our lives through fear!

  Danielle (my daughter) and I are still going through with our plans to spend at least a week next summer in London! Hopefully we'll be able to meet up with some of the friends from the JWDF!

  this is a big tradition for many in the hispanic culture.

  but how can a witness have or pay for one of these?

  marking a rite of passage.

  I would think the JW's would view it like a Prom, bar or bas mitzpah, sweet 16 or coming out party and forbid them. My mother, back in 1967, got around all that and gave a "formal dance" for all of the teens in the congreagations around ours. Formal dress was mandatory....we had baked alaska with sparklers for desert and my father danced to Bobby Vinton's "Blue Velvet" with me to open the dance (it so happens I wore a blue velvet gown my mother had made for me in New York). All of this took place in a fancy restaurant 3 months to the day after I turned 16! BUT it was not a sweet 16 or a birthday party????

  When partners lie

  by Es in

  heya all, im in a bit of a situation, i have just found out that my partner lied to me about an incident with his family, i am having a lot of trouble with his family at the moment, which then in turn is casusing major troubles with him and me.

  anyway it wasnt the worst lie out and he said he did it to protect me and to avoid another arguement with us which yes i can understand.

  but he bluntly lied to me which in the end has caused more problems as i am having major trust issues right now.

  Wait a minute.....you listened to his messages....then asked him leading questions, which he didn't answer honestly! And he, knowing the situation between the 2 most important women in his life is rocky, decides not to make an issue of his Mother's uninvited visit and ruin a perfectly lovely weekend takes you out thus avoiding the situation...and not mentioning the phone message.....it seems to me you both omitted knowledge of the phone message...thus cancelling out each other's "white lie".

  Maybe he just didn't feel like coping with the situation? Do you live together? Do you make a habit of listening to his personal messages? What is his reaction to this invasion of his privacy? Do you tell him everything? It's bad enough he's got a pushy mother (I had a mother-in-law just like her for over 25 years......made my life hell for years till I gave up and let hubby handle her) he shouldn't have to be in the middle between you and if you want the relationship to continue.....get used to it and let him deal with his mom as he sees fit...and if it means going out and avoiding her visits so be it. If she nails you down about it, just tell her to talk to her son...if she doesn't like something he does, she'll have to deal with it..after all she raised him!

  Did you have problems with the local police while you were taking these pictures? Because I'm sure they stopped traffic. Beautiful, just beautiful! Danielle doesn't have her Prom until next year and I can't wait!

  I've got a washer and dryer.....just throw them and your hunting gear in a couple duffle bags and let me know when you'll arrive. I can even promise you deer and turkey hunting in Georgia this year and regular time at the gun club.

  and maybe we can get more pictuers of Cinderella on this site if we ask real nice!

  Richey is one of the greatest young men I've ever talked to.......and my daughter think's he's "Hot".......and so do a couple of her friends standing behind me! I've got first dibs on him when he fades and if his Mom give him a hard time. He's coming to Florida! So the rest will just have to get in line!
