Sometimes one finds that friendships have been imprinted on our souls. When we think we have forgotten, something triggers the memory. Amazing how some have taken a part of me and yet I have felt so enriched by having them in my life.

We had eight years of Bush and Cheney, Now you get mad!?

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and
appointed a President.

You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate
energy policy.

You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed.

You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.

You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on said illegal war.

You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in  Iraq.

You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.

You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.

You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter Reed.

You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave a 900 billion tax break to the rich.

You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.  Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans...oh hell no.

Dad's birthday

Found my Dad's 60th Birthday present. Went and picked him out today. Isn't he just the cutest bulldog baby? He should be ready to go home when Dad comes up at the end of April. I know Dad is going to like him.

Manatees

We went and spent the night at Blue Spring State Park. (see link over on the right) I had booked a cabin before we left on our trip. The cabins are absolutely beautiful! We were all amazed. So wish that we could have stayed longer. Princess was thrilled that she got to see so many manatees in the spring.

Love is all we need

My sister T and her soulmate B were joined in a beautiful ceremony yesterday. There were many tears of happiness for both of these wonderful ladies. The love that was palpable during the ceremony was beautiful. I don't care what your religious beliefs are...if we are lucky enough to find someone who loves us unconditionally, you should be allowed to spend the rest of your life with them.

job

Well this economy completely sucks. I had my meeting today and my job is saved BUT I had to take a pay cut. I am now back to making my 2001 wage and doing more work to keep it. At least I am still employed. (((sigh)))) Is it time to think about going back to school?

Leavin on a jet plane

Well we are off to FL for the next 8 days. My sista T is getting hitched. I have to try to save my job. We are planning on going to see the manatees for Princess. I hate traveling away from my honey. Here is hoping the trip goes well.
