vjohnson08 I tried it. The search is free, getting the information from the search is not. If the letters don't get any kind of response I guess I'll have to pay. It's not much but it's the principle of the matter that bothers me.

vjohnson08 thanks Maxi. I do plan on writing a letter to both addresses. Just need to get up the nerve to sit down and write them. I think I probably just state who I am looking for and the facts that I know and not really get into anything else. I did search facebook...

vjohnson08 Thanks for your input. We don't have those offices here in the United States. Unfortunately I don't know his social security number so that makes it a little more difficult.

vjohnson08 Thanks. I haven't tried a geneology site but I did try typing his name into google. I sways seem to get the same "records found" but you have to pay to see them. Thanks for the advice!

vjohnson08 I really cannot afford to spend any money to find him and even if I could I'm not sure I want to spend money to find him. According to my Mom (there are 2 sides to every story which is why I want to find him) he didn't want a kid so that's why they divorced...

vjohnson08 In very basic terms, type 1 diabetes occurs when the body is not producing the needed insulin. Type 2 is when the body is not responding correctly to the insulin that is produced. No there is no cure for Diabetes and yes it can be controlled.

More than one out of three people receive government paychecks or support. It is extimated that as much as 40% of Americans are supported by the government. These are figures given by Ben Shapiro, a graduate of UCLA and Harvard,...

vjohnson08 I agree we are on a crash course and not many people seem to care. Politicians at all levels say "we need to cut spending", "we need to balance the budget" but neither side is willing to get serious about making those cuts. The American people yell if their...

Many of you may have heard about or even seen about the recent Supreme Court ruling protecting the radical Westboro Baptist Church's "freedom of speech" for them to be allowed to protest and basically disrupt military funerals....

vjohnson08 I understand what you are saying but in my opinion it is reaching a little too far when it comes to free speech etc. at funerals. It definitely shows how heartless these so called christian people are.

vjohnson08 I couldn't agree more. I have not read anything about how the Supreme Court justified their decision but still question it. There has to be a way to stop these people. I get so angry when I read of their activity. The God I serve does not condone their...

vjohnson08 Type one diabetes is no longer called child-onset and can occur at any age. You will not convince me to become a vegan and I have no desire to convince you to eat meat. As a registered nurse, I have taken care of many type 1 and type 2 diabetics over the...

vjohnson08 type 2 diabetes, yes dietary changes are the number one way to prevent or reverse. I was mainly referring to type 1 diabetes with is a different problem altogether from type 2.

vjohnson08 Having a leg amputated is directly related to being diabetic because diabetes causes circulation problems and can lead to amputation of limbs if it is not treated promptly. Being vegan does not guarantee anyone that they will not develop diseases and it does...

vjohnson08 My first question is why are you concerned about developing diabetes? Do you have risk factors or have you been told you are pre-diabetic?

vjohnson08 Thanks for your input. I'm sorry you are having struggles right now and I wish you the best. Some days it seems pretty easy to stay positive and focused and other days not so much. On those days it doesn't take much for something to get to me. On the good days...
