The Bailout Explained
dihard:
I was a bit caught up the past two weeks and did not get a chance to write about everything I wanted to, so bear with me as we go through some week-olds. The first, what the heck is this bailout? What will it do? Why did the first one get voted down? What’s the difference between the first and the second plan? And WHY oh why isn’t it working yet?!!
What is this bailout? The bailout was...

Golden Parachutes
dihard:
A golden parachute is a clause in an executive’s employment contract that specifies he will receive benefits in the event the company is taken over and the executive is let go. A golden parachute can come in the form of severance pay in cash, stock options, bonuses, etc. The term more loosely refers to an executive’s severance package - regardless of takeover. Golden parachutes are...

Do you ever get whiffs of smells that remind you of something so faint in your childhood you can’t even pinpoint it, but the memory is there?
What you could do with $700,000,000,000
dihard:
Give every person in the US $2,300 or give every household $6,200.
Pay the income taxes of every American who makes $500,000 or less a year.
Fully fund the Defense, Treasury, Education, State Veterans Affairs and Interior departments next year, as well as NASA.
Buy gasoline for every car in the US for 16 months.

Imagine that you are a traveler who finds yourself in a strange new land. You have heard wonderful things about the natural scenery in this part of the world, and decide to take a long walk in order to see the sights.
While strolling through a forest, you hear a faraway sound. You strain your ears to hear. It sounds like a person calling out – but the sound is muffled and faint. You go in the...

Quotes from my hero Mother Theresa
• Love is doing small things with great love.
• Do not wait for leaders. Do it alone, person to person.
• Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
• We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless.
The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind...

– Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go, There You Are
Still Crazy after all these years.
Well at 45 i find myself in a position that I have never faced. Being completely alone. I have been living first with my parents, then my mother died early in my life and it was just me and my dad, then a husband, the just me and my son, then husband # 2 and another child, then just my daughter and I. I have always believed that being able to be alone is a sign of strength. That some how the...
“True love. Most of us search high and low for true love in that one ideal...”
I would rather lose a lover then love a loser! You would think at my age the silly game that man and women play would be over by now! Dating sucks.
... so it grows and goes
For many years I have had this persistent inner voice that told me I was meant to do more with my life. Although I earned a good living, had a wonderful family and friends, I was restless and unsatisfied. I wanted more and but was unsure of what more was. I lacked the courage and confidence to take action. Many nights I thought what would my life be like if I had the courage and strength to...
Fathers Day
Fathers Day is for me a time to reflect on the wondrous power my father had in my life. Darcy ,Sheryl Jeff and I, are very blessed to have had for a father a man who in every sense of the word was a father to be proud of. He created a safe and loving home for his children to grow up in. And was always there for us as adults as we struggled with our own life’s. He did not shower us with...

Another one bites the dust!
OHHH well. Adios I am off to Puerto Vallarta.
Opening From Heart Right now, and in every now-moment, you are either closing or opening. You are either stressfully waiting for something—more money, security, affection—or you are living from your deep heart, opening as the entire moment, and giving what you most deeply desire to give, without waiting. If you are waiting for anything in order to live and love without holding back,...
My ending words
I came across this i wrote a few years back when I thought I might die! Still fits today. But glad I am not planning on using it soon. To my children, family and friends: When you come across a trinket of mine tucked away in a drawer what will you remember of me? Nothing. When you stand there in my living room and see the pictures on the wall, what will they say about me? Nothing So this is what...
New life in the U.S.

He and I spend alot of time together I am doing some computer work with him. He just thinks it great that I cook and do his laundry. I realize that both the kids forgot that I knew how to cook!!! lol. Jenoa told me the other day she finally feels like she finally has a father...

The Lost Necklace…No special effort is necessary to realize the Self. All efforts are for eliminating the present obscuration of the Truth.A lady is wearing a necklace around her neck. She forgets it, imagines it to be lost and impulsively looks for it here, there and everywhere. Not finding it, she asks her friends if they found it anywhere, until one kind friend points to her neck and...

Robin Williams Rocks
Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says ‘I love New York ’ in Arabic. You gotta love Robin Williams……Even if he’s nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message. Robin Williams’ plan…(Hard to argue with this logic!) ‘I see a lot of people...
