yeh! my daughter said yesterday... that she hopes something happens that the pres is taken out of office....i told her that prob isn't gonna happen and even if by some miracle it does, it won't matter because the wheels of the plan are already in motion...because a slight of hand has happened...our attention was diverted making us look over here while the core plan was activated over there... congress is doing this...the senate is doing that...omg where's his birth cert...wtf i think he's muslim because he's blocking all the christian stuff...omg have u read that health care reform bill, we're all gonna be euthanized... just little things (real or not) made to appear enormous so that we aren't watching while they erode the core of our constitution...and guess what?... it's not our pres doing it...he's just an actor...a place keeper...why do u think he needs a teleprompter to say the simplest sentence...he's an android in this scheme...a scheme that none of us have any control over now because we were looking the other way while they took away our control... oh sorry... rant over nightmare last night still on my mind i guess...better get it down in my book of dreams...these were all just my thoughts that i conveyed to my daughter prompted by her simple comment (we were in the mall...and she just wanted me to shut up) hahaha...not even an opinion yet...just a thought...

just thought this was an awesome story...made up i'm sure...but from how many true stories...?? They told me the big black Lab's name was Reggie as I looked at him lying in his pen. The shelter was clean, and the people really friendly. I'd only been in the area for six months, but everywhere I went in the small college town, people were welcoming and open. Everyone waves when you pass them on the street. But something was still missing as I attempted to settle in to my new life here, and I thought a dog couldn't hurt. Give me someone to talk to. And I had just seen Reggie's advertisement on the local news. The shelter said they had received numerous calls right after, but they said the people who had come down to see him just didn't look like "Lab people," whatever that meant. They must've thought I did. But at first, I thought the shelter had misjudged me in giving me Reggie and his things, which consisted of a dog pad, bag of toys almost all of which were brand new tennis balls, his dishes, and a sealed letter from his previous owner. See, Reggie and I didn't really hit it off when we got home. We struggled for two weeks (which is how long the shelter told me to give him to adjust to his new home). Maybe it was the fact that I was trying to adjust, too. Maybe we were too much alike. For some reason, his stuff (except for the tennis balls - he wouldn't go anywhere without two stuffed in his mouth) got tossed in with all of my other unpacked boxes. I guess I didn't really think he'd need all his old stuff, that I'd get him new things once he settled in. but it became pretty clear pretty soon that he wasn't going to. I tried the normal commands the shelter told me he knew, ones like "sit" and "stay" and "come" and "heel," and he'd follow them - when he felt like it. He never really seemed to listen when I called his name - sure, he'd look in my direction after the fourth of fifth time I said it, but then he'd just go back to doing whatever. When I'd ask again, you could almost see him sigh and then grudgingly obey. This just wasn't going to work. He chewed a couple shoes and some unpacked boxes. I was a little too stern with him and he resented it, I could tell. The friction got so bad that I couldn't wait for the two weeks to be up, and when it was, I was in full-on search mode for my cellphone amid all of my unpacked stuff. I remembered leaving it on the stack of boxes for the guest room, but I also mumbled, rather cynically, that the "damn dog probably hid it on me." Finally I found it, but before I could punch up the shelter's number, I also found his pad and other toys from the shelter.. I tossed the pad in Reggie's direction and he snuffed it and wagged, some of the most enthusiasm I'd seen since bringing him home. But then I called, "Hey, Reggie, you like that? Come here and I'll give you a treat." Instead, he sort of glanced in my direction - maybe "glared" is more accurate - and then gave a discontented sigh and flopped down. With his back to me. Well, that's not going to do it either, I thought. And I punched the shelter phone number. But I hung up when I saw the sealed envelope. I had completely forgotten about that, too. "Okay, Reggie," I said out loud, "let's see if your previous owner has any advice."......... To Whoever Gets My Dog: Well, I can't say that I'm happy you're reading this, a letter I told the shelter could only be opened by Reggie's new owner. I'm not even happy writing it. If you're reading this, it means I just got back from my last car ride with my Lab after dropping him off at the shelter. He knew something was different. I have packed up his pad and toys before and set them by the back door before a trip, but this time... it's like he knew something was wrong. And something is wrong.... which is why I have to go to try to make it right. So let me tell you about my Lab in the hopes that it will help you bond with him and he with you. First, he loves tennis balls. the more the merrier. Sometimes I think he's part squirrel, the way he hordes them. He usually always has two in his mouth, and he tries to get a third in there. Hasn't done it yet. Doesn't matter where you throw them, he'll bound after it, so be careful - really don't do it by any roads. I made that mistake once, and it almost cost him dearly. Next, commands. Maybe the shelter staff already told you, but I'll go over them again: Reggie knows the obvious ones - "sit," "stay," "come," "heel." He knows hand signals: "back" to turn around and go back when you put your hand straight up; and "over" if you put your hand out right or left. "Shake" for shaking water off, and "paw" for a high-five. He does "down" when he feels like lying down - I bet you could work on that with him some more. He knows "ball" and "food" and "bone" and "treat" like nobody's business. I trained Reggie with small food treats. Nothing opens his ears like little pieces of hot dog. Feeding schedule: twice a day, once about seven in the morning, and again at six in the evening. Regular store-bought stuff; the shelter has the brand. He's up on his shots. Call the clinic on 9th Street and update his info with yours; they'll make sure to send you reminders for when he's due. Be forewarned: Reggie hates the vet. Good luck getting him in the car - I don't know how he knkows when it's time to go to the vet, but he knows. Finally, give him some time. I've never been married, so it's only been Reggie and me for his whole life. He's gone everywhere with me, so please include him on your daily car rides if you can. He sits well in the backseat, and he doesn't bark or complain. He just loves to be around people, and me most especially. Which means that this transition is going to be hard, with him going to live with someone new. And that's why I need to share one more bit of info with you.... His name's not Reggie. I don't know what made me do it, but when I dropped him off at the shelter, I told them his name was Reggie. He's a smart dog, he'll get used to it and will respond to it, of that I have no doubt. but I just couldn't bear to give them his real name. For me to do that, it seemed so final, that handing him over to the shelter was as good as me admitting that I'd never see him again. And if I end up coming back, getting him, and tearing up this letter, it means everything's fine. But if someone else is reading it, well... well it means that his new owner should know his real name. It'll help you bond with him. Who knows, maybe you'll even notice a change in his demeanor if he's been giving you problems. His real name is Tank. Because that is what I drive. Again, if you're reading this and you're from the area, maybe my name has been on the news. I told the shelter that they couldn't make "Reggie" available for adoption until they received word from my company commander. See, my parents are gone, I have no siblings, no one I could've left Tank with... and it was my only real request of the Army upon my deployment to Iraq, that they make one phone call the the shelter... in the "event"... to tell them that Tank could be put up for adoption. Luckily, my colonel is a dog guy, too, and he knew where my platoon was headed. He said he'd do it personally. And if you're reading this, then he made good on his word. Well, this letter is getting to downright depressing, even though, frankly, I'm just writing it for my dog. I couldn't imagine if I was writing it for a wife and kids and family. but still, Tank has been my family for the last six years, almost as long as the Army has been my family. And now I hope and pray that you make him part of your family and that he will adjust and come to love you the same way he loved me. That unconditional love from a dog is what I took with me to Iraq as an inspiration to do something selfless, to protect innocent people from those who would do terrible things... and to keep those terrible people from coming over here. If I had to give up Tank in order to do it, I am glad to have done so. He was my example of service and of love. I hope I honored him by my service to my country and comrades. All right, that's enough. I deploy this evening and have to drop this letter off at the shelter. I don't think I'll say another good-bye to Tank, though. I cried too much the first time. Maybe I'll peek in on him and see if he finally got that third tennis ball in his mouth. Good luck with Tank. Give him a good home, and give him an extra kiss goodnight - every night - from me. Thank you, Paul Mallory I folded the letter and slipped it back in the envelope. Sure I had heard of Paul Mallory, everyone in town knew him, even new people like me. Local kid, killed in Iraq a few months ago and posthumously earning the Silver Star when he gave his life to save three buddies. Flags had been at half-mast all summer. I leaned forward in my chair and rested my elbows on my knees, staring at the dog. "Hey, Tank," I said quietly. The dog's head whipped up, his ears cocked and his eyes bright. "C'mere boy." He was instantly on his feet, his nails clicking on the hardwood floor. He sat in front of me, his head tilted, searching for the name he hadn't heard in months. "Tank," I whispered. His tail swished. I kept whispering his name, over and over, and each time, his ears lowered, his eyes softened, and his posture relaxed as a wave of contentment just seemed to flood him. I stroked his ears, rubbed his shoulders, buried my face into his scruff and hugged him. "It's me now, Tank, just you and me. Your old pal gave you to me." Tank reached up and licked my cheek. "So whatdaya say we play some ball? His ears perked again. "Yeah? Ball? You like that? Ball?" Tank tore from my hands and disappeared in the next room. And when he came back, he had three tennis balls in his mouth.

thank you everyone...i had a wonderful birthday/week...

how'd it come out?? the meeting i mean... that looks like the kind of ear piece that security wears...like he's there pretending to be a protester...but actually there as presidential security

WHOA!!...scary

then why would they have opposed what this guy was doing...makes no sense...they are for the little guy...the worker bees...this guy was selling flags and buttons promoting the little guy...the worker bees...the guys that attacked him musta been the africanized killer bees...psycho...

i knew that...i was asking...what's their mission?...what do they stand for?...what's their agenda?

what the hell...geeze...that's insane...what does the seiu stand for...i mean...what's their mission...why would they do that...makes no sense...

well if it makes you feel any better i actually did start celebrating on monday...which was yours...i didn't know it but i was actually celebrating yours too.

[move]Happy Birthday to you SHUGAR [/move]

yup...some of these letters circulating...may not actually be by the person that's signed as the author (who may not even exist) but this is a mouthful of truth... omgosh this letter says it all in a nutshell... awesome...keeping it...

my friend has it...and has for awhile now...and she likes it. the only thing i know of...and she can't hear it but when i'm talking to her it beeps about every 10 minutes or so...(yes we talk that long ) she's been told that by others too...gets anoying after awhile but for 20 bucks a year...what the heck... my son had it for awhile too but then he moved...probably got lost in the move...at the time i never asked what he thought of it...i thought it was just another of those "as seen on tv" things...but he never complained...so i dunno... my friend loves it...

that was perfect shugar... to the right...in the bottom corner..."report to moderator" in every single post... click that button and ur voice will be heard by every mod and admin...much louder than in the topic... use it...when necessary...

boy is that backwards...patriotism is in NO WAY myopic...if anything it presbyopic...because of the far ranging vision that not only looks to the past but to the future... and indeed is not just a hometown thing...takes a majority of a full nation to be patriotic...it's about pride in your country and the honor you give those that defend your right to pride in your country...

hahaha...yep...pixie...u literally took the words right out of my mouth...that was gonna be my post too... and shugarbabie is hot

now thar's a plan...i'll tell him to get ready for it...

i get the same error messages as destruction...

you may find some answers on this board http://www.testmy.net/b-142 ...it's specific to your provider...from what i understand pldt offers better dl from smartbro...but the ul is about the same...insanely slow...frustrating... browse thru here and hopefully you will get a better answer... http://www.testmy.net/b-142

just close that browser...it only continues to run as long as the browser that you started it in is open

sucks to be u...want me to take that off ur hands to save ya the hassle??

just one example...a biggie that's happened in my lifetime (and i was there without actually being there thru the magic of tv) and i still don't know the truth...jfk...we all know, that what we know to be the truth there, is far from it...we all know there were underlying forces at work there...oswald was just player in a gov't skit...and lbj was the product of a force beyond anyones control...the teaches pet...jfk was the sacrificial lamb...but that will never be what is printed in our history books for our children to read... i remember the class i was in that day...i went numb...other kids around me cried...one girl fainted...i was just numb...and believed every word i heard in the days that followed.

history has always been shaded...only the parts they want us to know...but more the truth here in america than anywhere else in the world...even if it's shaded it's something...who knows...maybe the wives actually wrote it...and the husbands had to take credit for it because "that's the way it should be" and maybe the british found out and that's what made them so mad...and punished the signers because they didn't give due credit where credit was due...huh?? did ya think of that...huh?? i didn't think so...

u don't have to delete them...i don't...i save them for evidence...hahaha jk
