Because of delays in H1N1 vaccination production, President Obama declared the swine flu virus a national emergency a week or so ago. This allows certain governmental safeguards to be dropped so that people can get care faster. New York’s Governor Paterson just made a similar emergency declaration for the same reason. No sooner did the news break than I received an hysterical e-mail...

I took a break last night, I was just too tired. I did get hungry so I thought I step out for a little bite to eat. I had a good week, nothing special. I had a new client this week, one the week before, but still with all that, I still come back to how long will I still have to do this for? I love what I do, first of all I wouldn't know what a real job would be like. I like the fact that I don't...

Yesterday, President Obama signed a bill into law that expands federal hate crimes to include those committed against people based on “sexual orientation”. While many people consider this a victory for the “gay community”, they fail to point out that the only reason this bill even got to the president’s desk, is that it was attached to a defense appropriations...

Is this what its like to drown near the bottom of someone like yourself There is no air The last breathe before I exhaled, knocked me to my knees My eyes left wide open Praying to the gods of death Never heaven, just hell To hell with you You will never know the touch of my finger tips It's everything you left so blue You left me there breathless and immobile To let you have this...

 The crocheted tablecloth beautiful story.... makes you understand that things happen for a reason ....  The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn, arrived in early October excited about their opportunities When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to...

The saga just randonmly started 10 yrs ago. I was sitting in the kitchen with my mate - talking over a cuppa tea (like you do).  It was one of those days where everything seemed sereal, calm a good day. My mate was on her way out, I got up to see her off when I experienced a feeling like asthma. It passed as soon as it started, it was a bit freaky at first, I put it dow to getting up to...

Ems now has two more loose teeth: on the bottom, and it's as the last time, symmetrical. Knowing how our lives go, the following is probably what we'll be getting for the Tooth Fairy, were she somebody besides mom with a quarter and a flashlight at two a.m. digging around under a pillow adorned with a Dora the Explorer motif trying not to trip over the Barbies: Yes, Eddie Izzard in his work...

  I wrote this last year; before my relationship ended. I was not intending this to be a "what if this happened to me" story, but ironically we broke up about 3 months later. It is very similar to what I ended up feeling; except we didn't have children. _____________________________________________________   This is what it feels like to die. I must be dying. I cannot...

The water calls to the coast to sink Eternity beneath the crushing black The waves hungrily crawl onto the land Where I've built my castle on the sand I try to swim in the ashes of our life But the pain won't let me through the door A cancer that maligns the corner of our home As the dogs chew on our bones I'm falling I've let go of the edge Don't catch me it isn't far to the...
