RE: American Idol

I have sons that watch it religiously. But myself find it hard to watch those that cannot actually believe that they have talent. I mean heck, I can sing. But, I know dang well that I could never ever try and do something like that. One of my sons called me last night with so much aggravation at the lack of talent that they showed. This one will not miss an episode. Anyway it is way too aggravating for me to watch. I can watch it when the copetition becomes real. Some really good talent has come from this show.

I always cut and copy and then spam them. Always a different name and just a tad different line. It's just so stupid.

You Are Chosen By God.

Life itself is a misery and nobody can tell what can be of it. Those
that
can tell what can be of it are those who cannot tell us because they
are
far from us (dead). if u will want to hear my story.

Since the death of my Husband, I decided not to re-marry or adopt a
child,
this is basically my own decision to honor him for the love we shared
and
the life we lived for. My late husband deposited the sum of
$27.6Million
(twenty-seven Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one
Security/Finance Company in Europe before his death.

Presently, this money is still with the Security/Finance Company.
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three
months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my
stroke.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church,
better still a Christian individual or a Moslem that will utilize this
money the way I am going to instruct herein.

First you must emblem and live with my husbands philosophy, as stated
above. If you can't remember please I refer you to read through from
the
introduction of this letter cause this the most important aspect that
you
must uphold. Secondly I want an organization or an individual that is
God
fearing who can invest the money and continuously use the money to
fund
orphanages, widows, the less privilege, the disabled and all those
afflicted with strange illness or diseases.

Thirdly this money should not be used in an ungodly manner, or any form
of
Evil or selfishness for that will warrant evil to that person's life
and
Family from
generations to generations. For you cannot use the hard earned money
of
my husband and I for evil or ungodly purposes.

If these conditions are met I am not afraid of death for I know where I
am
going to and my heart will rest in peace. I don't need any telephone
communication in this regard because of my health, for as soon as I
receive your reply I will refer you to the contact of the
Security/Finance
Company in Europe and my doctor who shall arrange you the letter of
claim
from the Malaysia High Court of Justice. This will be done if I see
from
your response that you satisfy the above conditions stated.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.

In His Arms.

Clara Basden.

RE: Do you believe....

Oh my gosh!! How in the world did I do that? Sorry. Stupid is as stupid does.

RE: Do you believe....

Hi, lovely lady. My life is definately a direct result of my actions. Except for a little interference from the *forces that be. I am where I am today because of my choices. And if I changed my way of life now, I am sure that my life would be different then again. My life isn't sooo bad. But, it could be much better.

*Meaning death of loved ones.

RE: America's "army"

what do you think of

Okay...this wasn't posted to mean, that it takes a war hero to be recognized as a good human. It was because I am aware that so many did and still do view some of these guys as gay or perverts, and child molesters. And they did. It was a nasty rumor for quite sometime. I just wanted people to see what rumors and impressions do to us. I always sat down with my kids to watch these guys because I believed that they were a good and kind. Because they were helping our kids with life and learning. While I understand what you are saying....It seems to me that when someone is trying to say something nice, that you come in and say something negative. This was meant to be a good post. With good information. Why is it you just made me feel bad about doing what I thought was a good thing?

WHAAAAAT!???

Isn't it great? Heros come in all sizes and shapes. Who knew? You are welcome babe.
Kat

what do you think of

But, many people really believe what you just said. Goes to show how we misconcieve. I have heard many people say strange and awful things about Mr. Rogers. Not to mention Captain Kangaroo. It's all good. Just wanted to throw those facts out there.

what do you think of

Captain Kangaroo passed away on January 23, 2004 as age 76 , which is odd, because he always looked to be 76. (DOB: 6/27/27 .) His death reminded me of the following story.

Some people have been a bit offended that the actor, Lee Marvin, is buried in a grave alongside 3 and 4 star generals at Arlington National Cemetery . His marker gives his name, rank (PVT) and service (USMC). Nothing else. Here's a guy who was only a famous movie star who served his time, so why the heck does he rate burial with these guys? Well, following is the amazing answer:

In a time when many Hollywood stars served their country in the armed forces often in rear echelon posts where they were carefully protected, only to be trotted out to perform for the cameras in war bond promotions,

Lee Marvin was a genuine hero. He won the Navy Cross at Iwo Jima . There is only one higher Naval award... the Medal Of Honor, and this one is normally only given postumously.

If that is a surprising comment on the true character of the man, he credits his sergeant with an even greater show of bravery.

Dialog from "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson"; his guest was Lee Marvin. Johnny said, "Lee, I'll bet a lot of people are unaware that you were a Marine in the initial landing at Iwo Jima ...and that during the course of that action you earned the Navy Cross and were severely wounded."

"Yeah, yeah... I got shot square in the bottom and they gave me the Cross for securing a hot spot about halfway up Suribachi. Bad thing about getting shot up on a mountain is guys getting shot hauling you down. But, Johnny, at Iwo I served under the bravest man I ever knew... We both got the cross the same day, but what he did for his Cross made mine look cheap in comparison. That dumb guy actually stood up on Red B each and directed his troops to move forward and get the hell off the beach. Bullets flying by, with mortar rounds landing everywhere and he stood there as the main target of gunfire so that he could get his men to safety. He did this on more than one occasion because his men's safety was more important than his own life.

That Sergeant and I have been lifelong friends. When they brought me off Suribachi we passed the Sergeant and he lit a smoke and passed it to me, lying on my belly on the litter and said, where'd they get you Lee?" Well Bob... if you make it home before me, tell Mom to sell the outhouse!"

"Johnny, I'm not lying, Sergeant Keeshan was the bravest man I ever knew. The Sergeant's name is Bob Keeshan. You and the world know him as Captain Kangaroo."

On another note, there was this wimpy little man (who just passed away) on PBS, gentle and quiet. Mr. Rogers is another of those you would least suspect of being anything but what he now portrays to our youth. But Mr. Rogers was a U.S. Navy Seal, combat-proven in Vietnam with over twenty-five confirmed kills to his name. He wore a long-sleeved sweater on TV to cover the many tattoos on his forearm and biceps. He was a master in small arms and hand-to-hand combat, able to disarm or kill in a heartbeat.

After the war Mr. Rogers became an ordained Presbyterian minister and therefore a pacifist. Vowing to never harm another human and also dedicating the rest of his life to trying to help lead children on the right path in life, he hid away the tattoos and his past life and won our hearts with his quiet wit and charm.

America's real heroes don't flaunt what they did; they quietly go about their day-to-day lives, doing what they do best. They earned our respect and the freedoms that we all enjoy.

what do you think of

Well, I fully expected to hear more than this. Lee Marvin is a movie star. Cat Baloo and many many more. But, I can tell you that most people have a warped view of Mr. Rogers and Captain Kangaroo. I persoinally love Mr. Rogers and the Captain. I had my kids watch them all the time. Here is something that I think most don't know about them.....................

RE: Divorced People?

Oh no honey. No, no, no no. Do not feel bad. I think I just responded in my own, feeling a little sad kinda way. You said the same things that I have said when I was younger. I was not in the least, attacking you for saying what you did. You are right, once people get the lawyers involved; it all goes to hell in a hand basket. My personal opinion on that is; there should be mediators and not lawyers. Someone with nothing to gain other than satisfaction.

RE: Divorced People?

There are other ways to divorce than pay a lawyer. But, I have only been divorced once, that was in 1974. He was a cheater and an abuser.
I did not divorce him. I made him do it. I really did not want to marry him in the first place. I was only with him to get away from my stepdad in the first place. I married him to make his family happy. We had a child. And I was young and stupid. Anyway, I do not marry someone that I don't have intentions of dying with. I have married twice since then, and they both died. I would have still been with either one of them. I take quit a long time making sure that he is the one. Not saying that others do not. But, I know myself, and know what it takes for me to fall in love. And that I do not fall out of love. That I know of. Hasn't happened yet. And I hope it stays that way.
I feel if I looked to the future with an attitude of the what if's I would just be setting myself up.

RE: Divorced People?

The pain of breaking up is still pain. Whether it be divorce or otherwise.
I was divorced once. I thought I would never marry again. But I did. Twice. Both times were great. I would difinately do it again.

RE: Whats the weather like where you are?

update: They are doing a fine job of clearing the emergency routes. But all the other roads are packed with ice, looks like snow. I just found out that the power outages are up to 100,000. They say it may take two days or two weeks or even a month to get the power back on in those areas.
