Love is...

Love is what?
Love is that funny feeling you have

When you discover something new.

Love is...

Love is who?

Love is those funny people that you know

Who are there for you no matter what.

Love is...

Love is when?

Love is those funny moments when you smile

When you realize the best things in life are free.

Love is...

Love is where?

Love is those funny places that magical moments happen

Where you go by them and they make you smile.

Love is...

Love is why?

Love is those funny moments that make you step back

When you know that you wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Unexplainable::Unexcusable

Please forward this to every one you know. I hope I get this forwarded back to me by 100 people. We need a 28th Amendment along these lines.

Unexplainable, Inexcusable

No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.

Monday on Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?

35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government

Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.

This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.

This is an idea that we should address.

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.

If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."

International Picture of the Year

Here are three very touching photos honored this year.

First Place :


First Place
Todd Heisler, The Rocky Mountain News

When 2nd Lt. James Cathey's body arrived at the Reno Airport , Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family gather on the tarmac. During the arrival of another Marine's casket last year at Denver International Airport , Major Steve Beck described the scene as so powerful: 'See the people in the windows? They sat right there in the plane, watching those Marines. You gotta wonder what's going through their minds, knowing that they're on the plane that brought him home,' he said. 'They will remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives. They're going to remember bringing that Marine home. And they should.'


Second Place


Second Place
Todd Heisler, The Rocky Mountain News

The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat,' and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. 'I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it,' she said. 'I think that's what he would have wanted'.

And the one that really tightens MY throat:

PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING!
Blue Fridays.
Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing blue every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority.' We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing.

Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something blue. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of blue much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in BLUE and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever. The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is: 'We need your support and your prayers.' Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something blue every Friday.

IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON. IF YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS -- THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.

Teaching [5]

I wore this new outfit the other day student teaching, and wouldn't you know it, it matched my yellow rubberducky earrings. Awesome right? I bought this at Old Navy, well most of it anyways. I bought the purple shirt, the purple tank top underneath, and the white sweater and Old Navy for $25 altogher I believe. If you think about it, I'm going to wear each item once a month while it's warm at different occasions (I.e. Student Teaching, Church, Interview, out on the town...)

The black pants I've realized are a STAPLE in your closet, as is two black skirts, black heels and flats, a black sweater and large black panties to keep your tights from bunching.

Oh right, the panties... Here's a secret I picked up from working on stage: There is a company that sells rather large black panties that fit right over your regular panties and your tights. On state this is to prevent anyone looking up your skirt when you're on stage. I've used them multiple other times when I've worn a skirt such as if it's breazy out and I don't want to take any chances. I've also found that if you're in a pinch, the bottom half of a set of black bikini will do too.

Have fun! 

A Triple Take Night

Half a dozen more kisses and I’d be spending the night in Heaven

More than you’ve ever given me before, and perhaps ever will

I didn’t think of you tonight when I lay upon the love seat

And perhaps this night was for the better for both of us

To be honest I needed to warm up, and find out who you are

I’ve learned now that each day is a gift, and an unseen smile from you

Which is relief, because, I don’t want to know who you are anymore

And perhaps this night was better for the both of us

It’s who we are, first friends, introduced by a friend

Small introduction, but it can never quite be repaid

She knows as much as I know and that’s all that needs to be said

And perhaps this night was better for the both of us

You are warm, and comforting, I could be with you longer than a day

I miss you, you laugh, your smile and your tight embrace

We are from different puzzle pieces, you and I, and that is not what is nice

And perhaps this night was better for the both of us

Give me a reason now, to not appreciate what you give

Your help, your voice; your presence is always enough

It’s not enough to be supernatural or an unoriginal fiend

And perhaps this night was better for the both of us

I fall asleep happily when being with you this night

Don’t we know that I have done it many times before?

To not dream of you is more than I can ask for

And perhaps this night was better for the both of us

Tell me again how you enjoyed being with me tonight

How you can stay up all night just talking to me

Instead of leaving me for hours wondering and crying

And perhaps these nights are better for the both of us 

Police Report

Subject: This is a Police Report - Very Important


PLEASE READ THIS, IT’S VERY VERY IMPORTANT

Not just for girls. The moral of this story is "DO NOT" take anything from strangers, not even if think you'll throw it away.
This is an actual email from the POLICE
Police Warning (Send to Everyone)
Ladies:
Pass this to friends and daughters! snopes verified. scary stuff.
Police Warning
(Send to Everyone)
People are R E A L L Y crazy! If you are a female, take heed! If you are male and have a significant female in your life who you care about, whether it's your wife, your girlfriend, your daughter, your sister, your niece, your cousin, your next door neighbor; whomever pass this along!
Always,
"Better safe than sorry!"

A man came over and offered his services as a painter to a female putting gas in her car and left his card. She said no, but accepted his card out of courtesy and got in her car. The man then got into a car driven by another gentleman.

As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath.

She tried to open the window and realized that the odor was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the gentleman at the gas station.

She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment.

She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath.

Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her.

This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA' and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them.

This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on simple cards. So take heed and make sure you don't accept cards at any given time you are alone or from someone on the streets. This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services'

PLEASE SEND THIS E-MAIL ALERT TO EVERY FEMALE/MALE YOU KNOW!!!!
