You sound very positive about your future. Coming to meet Dad is a big deal however you look at it. As fot the anti-health care morons. It will eventually blow over. It has to because it has no substance to it. It's all part of the conservative I Hate Obama movement. "He's a terrorist, he's an atheist, he's a communist, he isn't really an American," and so forth. Once all the smoke clears the books will show how stupid the whole thing is. It's all based on resentment. The Republicans lost the election so they have to get even somehow.<br /><br />DB<br /><br />DBDBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144446186279708019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425569396822162863.post-33786618097865806502009-08-27T20:25:54.974-04:002009-08-27T20:25:54.974-04:00Absolutely cool that SFC is coming for your Birthd...Absolutely cool that SFC is coming for your Birthday.

You know you didn't offend me with your remarks, because you know I am <i>quite</i> into it. It's sort of one of the most important issues facing our country at this time...but other than that.... ;)<br /><br />How awesome that you're getting a visit! That's saying something. Also, my feeling is that you reconnected at exactly the right time for you both. Ken told me once that he wished he'd met me years ago, before he made a bad decision. We agreed, though, that we were very different people then, and we might not have connected the way we did years later. Years of experience count for a lot, and can really mold a person. You are in the here and now, and <i>that</i> is change you can believe in! :) <br /><br />Love, BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149068921334726430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425569396822162863.post-12227157033679935362009-08-27T15:01:39.240-04:002009-08-27T15:01:39.240-04:00Mark, so neat that SFC is coming to see you for yo...Mark, so neat that SFC is coming to see you for your birthday and "meet the family"!!!! I bet you are really looking forward to her visit!!!!!<br /><br />you didn't offend me in any way about the stuff you wrote about the health care thing (I've been reading you, just not commenting). I'm kind of not really "into" this whole thing with healthcare reform; should be, but not<br /><br />I do agree with you that we are less literate these days; scares me with the younger generation(s) and what they don't know these days<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
