I was checking out the New York Times and found a wonderful site, so you should check out the following site.

Jenni called today with the news that they me "furloughing" employees in Milwaukee, how far this goes I don't know but it means for Jenni that she might be having some at home time without pay this year and they want to resend the 2.5 raise they just got after waiting for 2 years of negotiations to get it. We live in an interesting time.
I was watching ABC special with M.J. Fox about hope and he went to Bhutan ... I have said it before but I will say it again... it is a beautiful, wonderful place on earth.

John Edwards... one slimmy man
People are upset because of the allegations that John Edwards paid his mistress too much money but my sorrows are saved for his wife. What kind of creep cheats on his wife when she is sick, then waits to tell her anything until two days after he announced running for the Presidential campaign.
I don’t know any man who would tolerate the following scenario: first, fall in love, (which is a subject for another time- how the sexes define love) and then decide to marry... next both parties continue to work, being a supportive husband then knowingly change everything thing about himself. Number one, his hair would thin out or be unmanageable, experience huge weight gain with severe body changes, complexion breakouts, insomnia, mood swings, sinus problems, farting with constipation, hemorrhoids, headaches plus he has to wear clothes that make him look stupid, have people gawking and making fun of him plus putting his life in danger. Afterwards his body will never never be the same.
Secondly, he would, without missing a beat be expected to continue as if nothing had changed. Go through life with normal ups and downs as the Edwards have done but with John experiencing the aforementioned changes .... just to keep things within the scope of the Edwards’ scenario we will give him Prostate Cancer, a really fast growing cancer the kind you know most likely he will die from. On top of that his wife comes homes one day and says "I am running for President of the US".... two days later she drops the boom by saying quickly (no details) I AM HAVING AN AFFAIR with a younger- blonde- smart -well tanned man.... and by-the-by we have a town meeting this evening and I need you John to stand by my side-smile-don't complain about standing on your feet that are so swollen from the physical changes he went through earlier in the marriage so they could have the life they chose.I think if John Edwards had to go through everything his wife did plus experiencing the loss of a child he would not stand for one minute of "oh honey, I am sorry ... can't we just get through this campaign". Who is he fracken kidding, his wife is a great lady and deserves much more than this man can ever give her.

Feeling...
I will be going to another Funeral well- Viewing tonight it is for my “little sister” from school, her father died. I find it very difficult- I have expressed this before - I am at the first wave of all my friend’s parents dying. I know I should be happy with every minute I have with no pain but when my pain decreases, my mind tends to race. I do wish that death didn’t play such a large part of my thought processes. If it isn’t death it is my lack of closeness that Gary and I have fallen into, I do know that in the near future it is something we will have to address because we will be empty nesters. I have in the back of my head that I am not living up to others expectations. I need a lot of reassurance and I don’t seem to be getting any from the people I am surrounded by. When I did go to work and saved people’s lives, the patient would look up at me and they would say “thank-you” or their family would say thank you. But, at this time I don’t feel accepted for me myself who I am now. I get up in the morning putter around the house, if I have appointments I keep them, I try to be nice to people I cross paths with and help people who my need help. A friend of mine stopped over on Saturday while I was ironing Dad’s two work shirts. I had been out shopping with Dad (with help from Brian ) and was ringing wet from sweat but my friend needed someone to vent her frustrates about her family problems so I finished up ironing and put my jacket on, went out to a Diner for a late lunch. It was fun but I could have just as easy sat in my chair and put my feet up but a friend needed to talk and I went. I don’t feel that I have anyone I can be completely honest with or really gives a flying fig about me. Of course, Mom was always there to lift my ego… she did nitpick but she gave me love, hugs, kisses, and concern and I miss all that affection!
