Well, a potential partner should share their outlook on life and be somewhat in sync with your's, (Oil and water)

So in that frame of mind I have to express my views on the US., and Canada as per Afghanistan and Iraq. Canada has all its troops in Afghanistan, the US has most of its troops in Iraq.

The USA runs on oil. It imports most of its oil from the Middle East. Iraq has the 2nd largest remaining oil reserves. Saddam, is dead and gone, yet Bush is asking for more billions of $ to remain in Iraq. Why ? So many despots have killed millions in Africa, the US didn't care. No oil there, just drought, so let 'em die.

Bush said, "Failure is not an option". Given what they have seen and suffered, (Iraq and Afghanistan) at the hands of outside forces, the population of both countries are asking, were we better off 4 years ago ? The cost to the US is above $18 billion so far, yet it has failed to bring them any control at all of either country. Never enter a battle without an exit plan. The US and its allies has no exit plan. Like Vietnam, we thought that we could just bomb the hell out of them and then convert them to our way of thinking. NOT. The US and allies do not understand the culture that is being dealt with. The USSR was beaten by Afghanistan. Iraq has been at war with itself for thousands of years. Think about it. Body bags for oil.

for those of you who don't know me, i joined this site over a year ago.. met the man of my dreams on here.. and moved from indiana to canada.. this summer we are getting married.. this past year has been a complete roller coaster. from FINALLY meeting matt in person.. to figure out if we should even try and make the long distance work.. to actually doing it.. going monthes w/out seeing each other.. to getting engaged..to finally me transferring schools and make the leap and move to canada.. it has been a CRAZY year and w/out CS none of this would have happened. so thank you CS.

Now, I am living happily w/ matt in canada, attending school, and we are getting ready to move from our apartment to our very own house (which we painted and completely redid ourselves.) So life is amazing at the moment and planning a wedding for the summer also keeps me busy haha.

A year ago, I would NEVER have thought that I would be getting married or living in canada. Its just supposed to show ya that you never know what life will deal ya next.. its just whether you have the ambition to take the new road.

Good luck to finding happiness for everyone here! if i can do it anyone can haha!

hey I'm no mechanic, not certified or nothing, but what I have learned I have learned from my father. I'm currently restoring a 1971 chevelle malibu. gonna make it an SS Clone. This is my first time restoring a car. my dad is helping alot along the way and I'm doing most of the work to my car. what I want to know is. where are the men who like and love gearheaded chicks???? LOL I mean come on? the one thing I dream of and think about all the time is meeting someone I can be under the hood of a beefed up muscle car twisting and cranking on wrenches with. That would be the ultimate thrill for me.

While watching the news last night, I am told about a 12yr old boy who has come up missing. The creepy thing is that he goes to the same school and even the same class as my nephew. Turns out, the child was walking home from school after a band practice, at 3:30 in the afternoon on a beautiful day - and has not been seen or heard from again.
Now, there are circumstances to consider, it could have been the estranged parent, or the child was simply upset and decided not to go home after school, but...what if it wasn't either of those? The one thing that really bothers me is: what is it that motivates people to prey on children? I mean, there is Susan Smith, the notorious drowner of her children, Darlie Routier, who knifed her children and then the nanny, (whose name escapes me) who shook a baby to death...
I'm often asked why I have no children, well, this is my answer...too afraid.
I hope all your children are safe, healthy and home!!! God Bless All the Children!!!!

Couldn't believe what I saw on the drive home yesterday. As I stopped to pick up some groceries, I got out of my car, and lo and behold there stood a woman actually dressed like a woman should be dressed.....long hair, skirt, nylons, and pumps. So that kind of woman does exist. What a shock to the system.

This didn't start out as a blog. I wrote it in a letter to a friend when I needed someone to talk too. I decided to share it, simply because it may give some of you closest to me a lil' more insight as to why I'm always making a point to let you know that "I love you".

I went to the "family viewing" for my friends baby tonight. We have been friends for 35 years. We were babies together ourselves. It was so hard.... at times I had to remind myself to "breathe, in and out, just breathe". They were actually holding her, and passing her around as though she were sleeping. I just wanted to run away from all of it. I wish the funeral were already over. Every time i close my eyes, I think of the baby lying in her mother's arms tonight, and I still have to remind my self to breathe.

It's often said that our parents care for us in infancy, and in return we care for them when they are old. I already did that too. I quit work and college, and spent 4 years carrying for my dying parents, changing diapers, hand feeding my mom, and feeding my dad through a tube. I was only 20 when dad dies, 21 when my mom let go. I've had enough death now. A heart can only take so much loss, and mine has about reached its limit. I guess that's partly why I live as I do though... always making sure to tell my family and friends that I love them, every time I see them, or even talk on the phone. I've often been told "You just love everybody". I think I just make a bigger effort to let them know. And maybe i do "just love everybody... so what?... at least those people know that someone loves them, and what if I were the only one who ever said it aloud? My biggest thing is know that the last time i saw someone, could really be the LAST time... and I want to know I said it. I want to know that the last thing they heard from me was "I love you", that I said it, and won't have to regret the fact that I didn't. My father shot himself in the head while I was in the next room. I didn't say I love you... I don't even remember what he had said to me. i just remember looking back from the door of our den and saying "ok". Five minutes later my father was dead, and the last thing I said to him was "OK"....I can't help but wonder all the "what ifs"... but especially 'what if I'd said "I Love you"".... would he have had second thoughts.... would it have changed his mind? So yes, I say it more than most, but I would never, ever, say it to someone unless I truly meant it. Some people think it's trivial... I think it's one of the most important things a person can say. Sometimes, it means the world....

Wow.... Hmmmm... Guess this is more than you ever wanted to know about me, huh?
