To Whom it May Concern
To whom it may concern,
Thank you for your e-mail. It is nice to know that someone is reading my blogs, even the old ones. But, I have moved on from those days and those thoughts. I really don't care about what you think, or who you're with, or what you did. The point is, you did it. So now it is off to new things and people in the time that I have left to spend. Please continue to read these blogs if you like, I don't really care. By the way, your daughter never said a word about any of this to me. It was someone who is unrelated to anybody who told me about everything, so save your tirade.It's been two years, its time to move on and leave me alone. Oh, thanks for taking your name back, I don't want you associated with me either.

I Believe In You
I Believe In You
By
Amanda Marshall
Somewhere there's a river, looking for a stream
Somewhere there's a dreamer, looking for a dream
Somewhere there's a drifter, looking for it's way
Somewhere, someone's waiting
To hear somebody say
I believe in you, and I can't evewn count the ways
That I believe in you, and
all I want to do is help you to
believe in you
Somewhere someone's reaching
Trying to grab that ring
Somewhere there's a silent voice
Learning how to sing
Some of us can't move ahead,
we're paralyzed with fear
And everybody's waiting
To hear somebody say
I believe in you,
And I can't even count the ways that
I believe in you,
And all I want to do is help you to
Believe in you
I will hold you up
I will help you stand,
I will comfort you
When you need a friend
I will be the one that's calling
I believe in you,
I can't even count count the ways
That I believe in you
And there are just so many ways that
I believe in you
And all I want to do is help you
To believe in you
This post is dedicated to a few friends of mine who are there for me and they know that I am there for them. Being friends is very difficult sometimes..health issues, family issues, all take a toll on people, but they know that I am here for them and I know that they are there for me....we whine, complain,bitch, offer kind words or even a joke to each other, often privately.....I don't need to let the world know that we are friends, and they dont either, which is good, often very good for the soul. So I will stick by my friends, and I hope that they stick by me. We all have our issues, and not all of them are public knowledge. But a true friend knows and is there to help in anyway that they can. They dont want credit, they just want to help..Because that's what true friends are for. All I can and will say is thank you.

Ok, I've Had It
Some days I wonder why I get on facebook except to play games. Today is one of those days. I happened to see some snide comments about the new memorial in the Streator City Park. Usually I would just ignore them and move on, but not today. For some reason all of the whining and bitching and political crap is getting to me. I have had it ! The government worker who made the comment should thank God they're not working 16 hour days for 6 days a week like their predecessors did in a coal mine or glass plant. Go look up and read about the history of the labor movement and learn about the people who DIED to get you the rights that you enjoy today. And before you start, I was a UAW shift steward for 7 years and a bargaining committee member for 2 years. I attended the UAW leadership workshops every summer. So I know how unions work. So all I ask is just respect the people who came before you, and dedicated their lives to making yours easier.
Before I fall off the soapbox, is the election over yet ? It cant come soon enough. I made the mistake of watching the first lady's performance last night. As they showed the audience members with tears in their eyes, I must say I was crying too. From laughing so hard my ribs hurt. Now you expect me or any intellegent person to believe that a Harvard-educated lawyer who met his wife while working at a law firm, drove a car with rusted out doors, with holes you could see the road through ? Oh and dont forget that his most prized possession was a coffee table he found in a dumpster. Really ? I wonder if he has that with him in the white house . Oh and would someone please check to see if his shoes fit properly ! I am SO glad that Barry knows how the riffraff livesand is able to sympathize with you..as long as you vote for him. Now. I really dont care how much money Mitt Romney has or how he got it. I don't care what bank its in. And I dont care that Ann Romney hasnt worked a day in her life..really ? I'm not voting for Ann or Michelle,so leave them out of it. The last two candidates wouldny be where they are today without money. They are BOTH rich. To continue talking about the evil rich is ridiculous. I cant wait to see what kind of crap comes up on facebook in this last couple of months before the election. Having been called vile and disgusting nd a liar hasnt changed my opinions or beliefs one bit. Maybe I'm just too hard-headed. Or maybe I'm just too smart.

A Modern Love Song
Joey
By
Concrete Blonde
Joey,baby
Don't get crazy
Detours....Fences
I get.... defensive
I know
you've heard it all before,
So I won't say it anymore
I'll just standby and watch you
Fight your secret war
You know I used to wonder why,
I used to cry 'till I was
dry.
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside.
Oh Joey, if you're hurtin',
So am I.
Joey,honey
I saved some money.
All is forgiven
Listen,
Listen.
And if I seem to be confused,
I didn't mean to be with you.
But when you said
I scared you,
Well I guess you scared me too.
But we got lucky once before,
And
I don't want to close
the door
If you're somewhere out there
Passed out on her floor
Oh, Joey
I'm not angry anymore.
And if I seem to be confused,
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you,
Well I guess you scared me too.
If it's love you're looking for,
I can give a little more.
And if you're out there somewhere
Passed out on the floor,
Oh, Joey,
I'm not angry anymore.
