  the following was emailed to me, i'm fowarding it to you.

  this will either make you cry, give you cold chills or leave you cold, but it puts life into perspective!

  at a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children, the father of one of the school's students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended.

  Great story, RC, thanks for sharing it.

  Curiously, as I don't believe in god, I DO believe in the human spirit's ability to transcend selfishness. Whether or not the story is true makes no difference to me at the moment. Because there ARE true stories similar to this. I am currently struggling to find a philosophy that fits my personal experience with others, with all the shit that happens in the world, and with the desire (or need?) to believe that we as a species have some redeeming values. Sorry to just ramble on here...I'm just thinking out loud, well with my fingers

  Death and Forgiveness

  by Mommie Dark in

  my father died wednesday night.

  he's been bedridden, paralyzed, and tube fed for nearly five years, so it was more release than tragedy.. those of you who know my story will understand the miserable mix of emotions his passing has caused.

  the whole guilt and forgiveness issue shoved itself right up my nose into my forebrain.

  (((((((((MommieDark)))))))))),

  I can't really imagine all that you must be feeling and thinking right now so I won't insult either of us by pretending that I do. Please know that my thoughts and warm concern are with you. You offer so much wisdom for those of us who have suffered from abuse. I'm proud to call you a friend. (((((((MD)))))))

  Love,

  SAVE ROE NOW!!!

  dear friends of reproductive freedom,.

  george w bush and his right-wings friends are quietly pursuing their domestic agenda while the nations attention is focused on international terrorism.. bush's attacks on women's reproductive freedom continue.. examples;.

  1. on his first day in the oval office,bush re-instated the global gag rule,which takes family planning funds from organizations that even mention the option of abortion to their patients,risking womens lives overseas.. 2. bush has promised to re-visit the food and drug administration's approval of ru-486.and anti-abortion forces in congress have already introduced a bill to limit it's availability.. 3. with the expected retirement of 3 supreme court justices ,including sandra day o'connor,who is often the critical swing vote on abortion rights issue,bush has made it clear that he will nominate the most adamant opponents of abortion and civil rights.. the bush administration is committed to strategies that limit life saving stem cell research,criminalize abortion providers,reduce the availability of birth control and deny funding of health reproduction education in the schools.. what better way to take on the christian coalition and ultra-right leaders and movements,than to use your voice to speak up now!!.

  I agree with you Ashi, the only exception I guess is if some who are reading haven't yet made up their minds...at least they get some food for thought.

  Rhett, I think it's quite interesting that you have yet again failed to answer Think's question to you. How 'bout it? Put yourself in this situation and tell us what you would do.

  Prisca,

  (((hugs))))backatcha...glad to help.

  Did ya see that Tracy?? I'm "kind"...I do kind things to help other people, so there!

  April, sorry to disappoint you, but I am NOT going to wrestle nekkid with my sister...ewwwwwwwwwwwwww Besides, she's older than me, I wouldn't want to hurt her because, you know, I'm kind! But please do feel free to send money and we can discuss the spanking thing...privately

  Ven, I can see that your association with Tracy and Doug is having an adverse effect on you. Not to worry, tho...I think a day or so spent in my company at a local amusement park will set you back on the straight and narrow again Course, there are those other unsavory influences (namely Mindchild and Cello) that we have to be concerned about, however I think I'm up to the challenge.

  Ang

  And hey everyone, as Ozzie posted, today is International Women's Day!!! Woohoo! So treat yourself special today and here's a hug to all my 'sisters' in cyberspace (((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))) with special squeezes to Tina and Julie.

  LOL@Princess

  Kist.

  I really do want to. My son is 10 and a half...I'm thinking in a year or so, perhaps we can get certified together. Then I'd have a partner, you know, one I have some control over!

  Snorkeling in the keys was great...one of my favorite life experiences (ok, cept for the shark). The sun, the water, the gentle motion of the boat (after the shark), the many different colors of the fish and the coral...sigh, wonderful. I was also on my honeymoon at the time...gee, wonder if that had anything to do with it being special?

  Beautiful pic LB! Thanks for sharing it with us. One of these days, I swear, I'm going to take diving lessons. I've ALWAYS wanted to learn to dive. Closest I've come was snorkeling on the reef off of Key West...your pic reminds me of that. It was wonderful!(until the shark came along and I know now that walking on water is no miracle; it can be done easily if a person has sufficient motivation).

  I have it on good authority that the "H" in Jesus H. Christ stands for Henschel. Although that could be erroneous information as the person who said it is British and we all know how they are.

  And yeah, sure, right, whatever Tracy, blame it on the computer. We understand.

  Did anyone answer?
