John,

I’m writing this letter as simple as I can make it so your small mind can comprehend. There are things that I have shared with you in the past month or two which was obviously a mistake. I was under the impression by now at your age that you have matured into adulthood, but I guess I was wrong.

I have mentioned to you about that property my father had giving me for when I wanted to start a business in the future. In this moment in time I couldn't do anything with it because of my current circumstances, and you are aware of that. One of the last things you... Read More

Dara was with the social services agent for more than an hour. She sat in a plastic, orange chair in a tiny office. There was enough room for a small book shelf against the wall, a chair and desk and two chairs on the other side of the desk.

The agent's office door was open and Dara looked out the door and across the narrow hall at another woman with another agent. The other woman looked right at Dara. Apparently, she was as uncomfortable and bored as she was.

"How many children do you have," the agent asked Dara.

"I have two children...a girl and a boy," she answered.... Read More

I am tired of wishing my life away and tired of all of the tears. I'm sick of wondering why things are and wanting someone to make things better. Why do I have to succumb to such daggers of anguish that tear at my soul and leave me without any possibility of experiencing a moment of peace of love or anything of substance that might seem to supply food to my soul?

It never ends. I get just so far and then - STOP! I am knocked down and pummeled by society's neglect of its own, leaving those without protection to wither and die inside.

It's sick isn't it? How is such complacency... Read More

I can remember back to the first time I flew on an airplane. I was around 13 years old at the time, and I can still remember the sheer thrill of the takeoff! This was the first time I was actually passing through, and then looking down onto the clouds. Everything about it was just so exciting! And, I just couldn't wait to do it again!

Later, as I entered the working world I started to have more chances to fly. All of it domestic for a while. I flew mostly to Mississippi where the furniture factories were, and to North Carolina where the furniture shows were, and still are. I flew to... Read More

Well I guess I should start from the beginning, or at least give a brief lead-in. When I first entered the amazing World of the Internet I immediately went to join up at computer help forums, as they seemed to be, in my mind, the best place to teach the ins and outs about the dos and dont's. From there the next logical step was to join up at a Internet Security forum, and that's where it all started.

Over the course of my participation on that forum I made a lot of friends, friends who, like myself, who were also disillusioned by the way the forum was being run, by the owners ( a mega... Read More

People desire me year round

yet no one can quite get a grip on me

they crave me when I belong to others

and beg for me in their weakest state

they need me in the mornings, afternoons, and nights

they use me thinking I'll always be around

some people save me for when they need me most

I've been everywhere from China to Italy to California

everyone has had a taste of me at some point

people sometimes wake up in middle of the night looking for me

even animals love me and depend on me

I am a part of you, and every other... Read More

This reply started out as just another comment, then took on a life of it's own.
