Recently, I was off for three days on a mini vacation. I go back to work and my boss did a real bonehead thing. First, I emailed him about it because I didn't want to let him hear the agitation in my voice. He emaled me back with...

Is there a person you cannot forgive?

fpd1955 @fpd1955 (2074) • United States 15 Oct 08

I had a partner for 15 years. She had her cat, which became our cat, for 3 years before I met her. He was almost 18. He couldn't eat or drink without help, mostly from me. He was getting terribly thin. He couldn't see. He would...

Where is our "Mr. October"?

fpd1955 @fpd1955 (2074) • United States 5 Oct 08

The Cubs continue to make history, albeit bad history. They won their division two years in a row. The last time they did that was 1907-1908. (Also 1906) They won 97 games this year. They scored 6 runs or more in an inning too...

Where was Mama Smurf?

fpd1955 @fpd1955 (2074) • United States 20 Aug 08

The Smurfs are celebrating their 50th anniversary. That's right, they have been around since 1958. I didn't know that, until I opened up my Avon book and saw a watch with Smurfette on it in celebration. I watched The Smufrs when...

Remember taking a drive on a summer night?

fpd1955 @fpd1955 (2074) • United States 7 Aug 08

Last night was a beautiful summer night. Gorgeous red sky, light breeze, no humidity and temperature in the 70's. It was one of those nights that reminded me when we would jump in the car, blast the music and take a drive down to...

Foreclosure of your home=income to you!!!???

fpd1955 @fpd1955 (2074) • United States 4 Jul 08

That's right folks. The hundreds of thousands Americans that cannot afford to make their mortgage payments are taxed by the good old IRS (U.S. Government)when they are foreclosed upon. The tax is anywhere from 10% to 35%,...

Amy Winehouse on same path as Janis Joplin.

fpd1955 @fpd1955 (2074) • United States 17 Jun 08

This woman has talent that is fresh and different from most of the musicians out there. Unfortunately, she is on a path of self-destruction that most likely will result in her death at a young age. Similar to Joplin, Hendrix,...

Effects of a full moon.

fpd1955 @fpd1955 (2074) • United States 17 Jun 08

I have noticed a full moon changes the weather, makes it opposite of what it has been or should be. Last week we had hot, hot and humid days. It was in the high 80's and low 90's with humidity that was unbearable. Yesterday and...

Setting straight some Straight people!

fpd1955 @fpd1955 (2074) • United States 11 Jun 08

I am only going to say this once, so pay attention! Some of you straight people seem to think that those of us in the Gay community should not be allowed in society or that we aren't "normal", we don't deserve equality and we are...

Some people's discussion topics just tick me off!!!

fpd1955 @fpd1955 (2074) • United States 9 Jun 08

Sometimes I get so agitated with what the person said, usually because it is pure ignorance. They have no idea what they are talking about and it seems to me they are just trying to start something so they think they will get alot...

Ok Cubs fans...let me hear ya.

fpd1955 @fpd1955 (2074) • United States 5 May 08

I love, love, love Kerry Wood...BUT........in my opinion (humble as it may be) I think Carlos Marmol should be our closer. Kerry can be the set up man. And it's about time Jon Lieber gets a start, as that is what he is, a starting...

Why I denied a friend request.

fpd1955 @fpd1955 (2074) • United States 10 Apr 08

I usually deny very few people, as we need all the friends we can get. However, after looking at this person's profile, I saw that they hadn't started any discussions nor answered any! They had a website that supposedly taught...

You have to read this story, but only if you want to! Even those these children are "special", I find it difficult to digest. If this plot hadn't been discovered, this teacher could have lost her life. If this were...
