No daffodil's grew here before and we didn't plant this one.
She loved flowers.

The kidney failure finally caught up with her. She got much worse yesterday. Tonight we had the vet who makes house calls to put animals to sleep come and help her over.
No more pills. No more needles. No more pain.
I am lost.

Dec. 16th, 2011 10:21 pmI understand why people want to believe in God. So when you are trying very hard to do what's right and no one will acknowledge it. You can believe someone else knows and appreciates it.

Dec. 15th, 2011 05:32 pmDear Mr. President,
I am writing concerning the National Defence Authorization Act and its troubling provisions regarding detention of US citizens indefinitely without trial. I believe this is a dangerous and unconstitutional bill. I believe it goes against the fundamental values on which this country was founded. Further, I believe it does not protect the people of the United States from terrorism, but furthers the goals of Al Qaeda by crippling the very freedom we wish to defend and those like Al Qaeda want to destroy.
I understand that this bill does not clearly state that US citizens may be detained indefinitely, but it does make that a possibility. And I think you know that grey areas in law are where atrocious misdeeds find safe haven. The United States is based not on giving capricious power to its officials and hoping that they will exercise good judgement. It is based on laws, justice, and the reservation of all but necessary power to the people. A people hopefully protected by the constitution from abuse by its leaders. A people who hold the right of due process. A people who expect and deserve fair, open and just treatment by their government.
I hope that you will veto the NDAA as it stands. I hope that you will stand up for the rights of our children and grandchildren who, might otherwise look back to this time as the beginning of the end of this great experiment in freedom and democracy, the United States of America. For ten years our freedoms have been under attack from without and within. Please use the power that we, the people, have vested in you to do what is right and veto the NDAA until it makes clear that our constitutional rights to due process are secure.

Dec. 4th, 2011 05:55 pmMr Putin seems to have come up a bit short in the ballot stuffing. Perhaps he should have borrowed some dead people from Chicago?
