I was brought to tears
by his singing but especially by his story.
It brought tears to my eyes as well. You have
reason to be proud!!
Your post brought tears to my eyes - (sm)
I was one of the ones praying for your kitty and told you that you would know when the time was right, and you did. I lost mine in Feb and I am still looking for her, sometimes I think I even see her. Don't even worry about picking up her stuff. You'll know when the time is right for that too. I still cry at the grocery store when I pass the cat food aisle or the evaporated milk which was her "special" treat. I feel sure she is sunning herself up in Heaven right now and she is at peace with no pain, just waiting for Mom to get there someday. I think time passes quickly up there too, so to her it will seem soon when you arrive. Bless you.
That letter brought tears to my eyes
and I miss her every day. I could've written your letter, especially the part about ditching her and going with friends. I could sure kick myself now for not spending more time with her. She was a beautiful lady and I miss her, especially at the holidays.
At Christmas 1993, my husband said Let's go see your folks. I said it's such a long trip, etc etc. Next year!
Well, 10 days later, mom was gone from pneumonia. Just like that she was gone and I was left with a big gaping hole in my heart and plenty of I wish and Why didn't I?
God Bless all of us orphans on the holidays.

This post made me laugh and then brought tears to my eyes...good for you!!!
I think that is great you went to the school. I'm guessing he will turn out just fine if he's got a mom like you! *Hugs*
If SHE (the teacher) brought it up then it is very, very wrong. If a child brought it up
it is still wrong for her to answer with the truth -- but lying wouldn't really be acceptable either. In the case of the child asking her she should tell the child to ask their parents.
I would assume the scenario was something like one child telling another child that there was no Santa and that child then asking the teacher. Not wanting to lie about it the teacher told the truth. Anyone teaching children that age, at this time of year, should have a prepared statement for that type of situation. "You need to ask your Mommy or Daddy that question."

The biker group is wonderful to help the families who have done nothing to deserve this crap from the idiots who trample on the civil rights of the troops and their families. My husband and I have a son in Anbar (Army). I'll keep yours in my prayers, too.
how does it get like this? I mean, what brought you two together

I was brought up with the saying that
if you rent you might as well be throwing money out the window. If at all possible, buy. (That is what I did when I was divorced.) Just make sure that the house is properly inspected and any problems found are fixed, per your contract BEFORE you buy it, per the seller's expense. That way, at least you start out with everything in good condition. Check roof, plumbing, electrical wiring, etc.

I actually got tears in my eyes reading this... your husband must be very special.. I am very happy for you. . I like the idea of using the bricks in the fireplace..
Tears!
It's been a while since I've smiled so big and cried tears at the same time! As I watched your video, I could picture my grandma whom I miss dearly!! THANK YOU!!!
Sure wish I'd brought a newspaper! nm

You brought it up, ya goof!
The truth is painful sometimes.
I do understand but my cat has brought up
xx
I have tears in my eyes. sm
I posted below sparklers on the 4th but your post brought back wonderful memories of the same thing. So many of the places that my mom and I shopped at are now gone. My fav was Kresgies (sp) which had a lunch counter as well as what was probably mostly junk. I always had a grilled cheese. Now a park stands there and my mom would take my daughter and niece there for picnics. I lost my mother also....oh just one more day.
Yes...bored to tears!!!

I am so fustrated I am in tears...sm
Ok here goes...My husband has hunting beagles. He has about 5 of them. I love dogs and I love beagles. Well he drives an 18-wheeler and is gone a majority of the time. I take care of the dogs daily, i.e. feed them, clean their kennels, and put fresh water. It is a chore, but I love the dogs so I do it. It is for my husband anyway, and we are supposed to help each other. When he is home it is his chore. Well he has a buddy down the road who lives about 10 minutes away. They take their beagles out together and let them run rabbits. Well his buddy is bad about leaving his beagles over here and not coming to get them in a timely manner, and I have to take care of 5 more dogs. Food isn't cheap either. Well you have to make him come get them. A couple of weeks ago his buddy went on a hunting trip in Tennessee and needed someone to care for his beagles. Well I didn't mind taking care of them for a few days. I was fustrated to learn though he brought them and left them in the kennels and left no food for them. I had to feed these dogs of his out of our food and there was 5 of them. I mentioned to my husband that I thought that was rude. I was nice enough to care for his beagles while he went away. He should have brought food for them. I felt taken advantage of. Well he came over last weekend and I thought good he has come for his dogs. Well he leaves without them. I said oh here we go again. I had forgotten to mention anything to my husband because I got busy working among other things. Well today when I went to feed the beagles I got really fustrated because he STILL has not come and got his dogs. So got downright ticked and called my husband. I said you call your buddy and tell him I am not in the kennel business. He can come get his dogs. I said first of all he is back in town and has been a week. Why hasn't he come and got these dogs? I said you should have made him before now. I said I was not asked do you mind taking care of these dogs for weeks. I said you should not allow your friend to take advantage of my niceness. He said well I just figure that if you are taking care of our beagles then why can't you just feed and take care of his too. What difference does it make? You are already taking care of these so what is so hard about putting a little more food out. I said I will tell you. It is twice the dogs to feed. I said he did not bring any food. It is twice the sh** to clean out the kennels, which is done, by the way, by spraying it off the concrete floors with a hose with a spray nozel. I feel like I am being taken advantage of and I think my DH should stick up for me to his friend. 
tears on Xmas Eve!!
I just feel so bad for you in this situation. I love my two dogs so much that I don't know what I will do without them one day... But I agree with you in the sense that I don't want them suffering or in pain. If something happens to them and they go blind or something like that, that is one thing... but when a pet cannot function anymore and you are only keeping them around cause you don't want to deal with the loss that is entirely different. I feel for both you, your mom, and the dog and I'm sorry you are going through this. I do not think there are right or wrong answers, but just remind her All Dogs go to heaven!!!

tears in my ears.
is how the song goes.
It's one of my favorites.
That child would have been brought up with nannies whether she was
alive or not. Given Anna Nicole's usual state of mind, she was not fit to take care of her little girl by herself and her overuse of drugs I am sure has somehow played into her death. God may have given that child a blessing by giving her the chance to be raised in a proper environment not have to deal with a mother influenced by drugs. Everything happens for a reason.
What in the world brought that about, your post
talking about black culture? I do not consider her a role model any more than I consider Britany, Lindsay, Paris, Nichole- they are entertainers period. A role model is someone you should look up to and being an entertainer, for the most part, is not someone I would protray as one. I think Beyonce is pretty, sorta half way talented but the others listed above, their talents seem to be in how much media they can gather. None of these posts have been racially motivated, I do not believe. We are talking talent (Jennifer Hudson) versus non....
Oooh, I am SO glad someone brought this up. I was sm
watching this for the first time in years last Friday. I had a break and there was nothing on t.v. The last time I saw it, Nick and Sharon were married. I think I saw it around the time Cassie died??
Anyways, is Nick married to Phyllis now?
When he woke up Fri. Sharon had to break some terrible news to him - what was the news? I missed it! Thanks......
I think you brought in issue when you said biracial.

Ah, you just brought back memories...sm
I am mid-40s. My dad also taught me home and car repair--usually against my will, but grateful for it now. Whenever I bought a car, he made me change a tire and the oil in front of him. Loved shop class in school. Mmm, power tools! I still do a lot of maintaince and repairs, but I actually enjoy doing that stuff now! As for sewing, I was born into a family of handicrafters, and since I was a kid have enjoyed sewing non-clothing things and especially yarn projects, and can do most sewing repairs. Just not very good at sewing my own clothes from patterns because I poke myself with the pins too much. Such a klutz.
So you protest about politics being brought
proceed to participate in the very behavior you are objecting so stridently to. You are entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to share your opinion. I am not saying that you aren't. I just find it rather interesting that you choose to actively participate in the very behavior you're protesting so loudly against.
I really don't care to argue with you, just as I don't really care for the politics board. As far as tomorrow, for my kids it is historic event. Only one of them was old enough to remember Bush being sworn in the second time, and he was still to young for it to hold a great deal of significance. I would like to foster in my children a respect for the process of our government and why our founding fathers designed it the way they did. This is part of that process. It is not about race for my younger children, although my 8-yo still doesn't understand why a black person, or anyone else not Caucasian for that matter, had never been president. My 6-yo thought nothing of the fact that a white woman or a black woman or a black man or a Hispanic man could run for president. In fact, she was a Hillary supporter and then a McKinney supporter because, "boys are yucky."
For some people, tomorrow is a catharsis on many levels, for the past 8 years to the past 200+. If you can't see and appreciate the significance of the event, then I feel very sorry for you.
Have you noticed how her mother never has tears?
She has pretended to cry, dabbing a tissue under her eyes but there are absolutely no tears. Her mother is just PO'd she isn't getting the baby's inheritance and that's the only thing she's upset about.
As I write this, tears are in my eyes
because my furkids also gift from hubby and I know, really know the love we give these little ones. She had been through so much. You gave her a good home and I am sure did everything to make her life comfortable. I have 2 boys from my gift and 1 is a purrer and the other 1 not but again know I along with others share your sorrow.
American Idol.. is anyone else in tears like me?
I swear.. some of these clips are getting to me, and Josh Groban and those little girls? I'm just a mess.
I guess it doesn't help that I'm sitting here transcribing an autopsy at the same time, which always gets to me anyway.
Husband in tears this morning
My daughter (not his own child and not raised by him) asked me for his email about a week ago and told me none of my business (just laughing as she told me this) when I asked why. This morning he reads from her "Thanks for being in my mothers life. I have never seen her happier. You are the best father ever and Happy Fathers Day. Love." He was so touched by this, tears rolling down his face for these thoughts. Happiness- priceless.
Hayseed, I have tears in my eyes because
I have read your post and this is the first time hearing this. I have had so many animals, loved animals, that have died and to think I would ever see them again is something that just warms my heart. Birds, dogs, cats and even a white mouse are ones I have lost. Thank you so much for this.
Oh sweetie, I just have tears in my eyes for you - sm
What a horrible man and I can so relate to not wanting him to touch you.
BE SAFE. My biggest worry would be the guns and that's why I suggested you leave; I know it is important to try to keep your kids stable in school, but nutty control freaks do horrible, horrible things when they feel their power taken away.
Please keep us updated.
Thank you - your post moved me to tears - sm
Your description of walking around with a gaping wound in your chest and no one noticing - You may not believe this, but until I read this I had long since put away feelings I'd forgotten - I HAVE had an experience, and you reminded me. One of my babies died at one day old thirty-two years ago. You described what I remember feeling exactly. How could I have forgotten that? I'm sitting here with tears running down my face.
Your suggestion of a note to the families is a great one. I'm certainly going to do that. God bless you.
Cannot type with tears in my eyes
Am such a lover of fine music and thanks to both of you, this is what I am enjoying this morning. Why in the US are we only allowing a certain age to be on American Idol and not half the quality of these guys?
Wow, I got tears in my eyes imagining that (sm)
So glad you have been so blessed
My physician never brought up about hysterectomy, I told him
I wanted to see about this but this situation different. I had ongoing bleding that could not be controlled and then another person in medical field told me how their friend almost hemorrhaged and not being able to stop the bleeding in the nighttime. I immediately called my physician and asked for a hysterectomy. So glad I did. This was in 1986 and loads of typing then on AIDS patients and how blood could be responsible. I did not want a transfusion at that particular time. My view only. No problem with the surgery at all. Now there are other means of controlling but past childbearing, saw no reason to just have the periods.
DH brought home a pink Bobo and
a blue Bobo and presented them to the Siberians. Sasha took hers with glee and checked out the squeeker and crackly part. She then proceeded to show us the poor stitching workmanship as she eviscerated the poor pink doggy all over my office. Meanwhile CJ didn't know what to do with blue Bobo, so Sasha snatched it and ran off.
No more Bobos for the Siberians.
Down here, everybody kisses everybody on the cheek. We're brought up to do it!

So funny! It brought back memories... (sm)
Many years ago when I worked in an entirely different environment, there was a version of this making the rounds that had several followup messages between the wife and tech support. I wish I could find it in my stash of old paperwork because it's hilarious!
you just brought back a really funny memory
When my daughter was young (way, way preteen), probably the age of your daughter, she was in dance and they put on performances where they had to wear makeup and really a lot to be seen by the audience.
Well, we took her out to lunch after one particular performance without wiping her face (I mean, it was a real production to get this stuff off -- especially the lipstick because they used this kind that doesn't come off easily).
I thought the waitress was going to flip. She gave us the coldest reception and was extremely rude. At first I did't get it, but then I looked at my daughter in her jeans and T-shirt and face all made up --- I explained to the waitress and she immediately changed her demeanor.
I guess I was dumb for not removing the makeup first and I can't remember the exact circumstances, but it seems like we were in a rush or had no choice or something... anyhow, hadn't thought about that for a while...
oh and my bottom lash isn't bald but if I don't wear any makeup at all, I at least put a little liner underneath, so yeah, I think it's okay (but I don't know what you look like lol). I'd love to have the permanent tattoo done, but the little dancer is in college now, so mom's beauty will just have to wait!!
my boy informs me a kid brought a bullet to school
same thing --- school did nothing, no note sent home, no parents contacted, no suspension. it only makes me think if a child has access to a bullet, then there's access to a gun, right? he's only eight years old!! is this really what the world has come to?
that judge with his FAKE tears and emotionalisms
makes me want to vomit actually............he's probably the most BOGUS judge in Broward..........
I live in Broward.....
I mean sorry for your loss, so recent. Having trouble seeing through my tears. nm
ss
Ditto........25 years, bored to tears.......

I have tears in my eyes, this is a true miracle
Everyone is off and apparently as safe as can be, crew and I believe 151 passengers. I hear the engines when out when geese flew into the plane and pilot was able to steer back over NJ and land flat on the water. What a joyous outcome.
I have sat here with tears running down my face, astonished
I had already heard the buzz about Simon talking about this person but had not seen. What an absolute joy to hear this. I thank you so much for sending. I will definitely forward to my daughter first and from there it travels on. A true jewel, she is.
News says was young child brought TO Houston
nm
P.S. That's "Fox"...hard to see these tiny letters through tears...nm

They do multiply don't they?! Brought back memories when my oldest brother
bought 2 white mice at the pet shop and the guy told him they were both males...about 2-3 weeks later we had a full liter of white mice. Mom made him take the whole cage with mice back to the pet shop (I wonder why? LOL).
mine brought me a very alive green garden snake
and deposited it at my feet in the kitchen once.
My now deceased husband brought his friend home, now my hubby
Was it love at first sight? Not for me but years later after the death of the previous one, my now husband (he never married, no kids) told me he had loved me from the very first day he saw me. I did not even know he saw me. We are talking 30 more years and the weight, well I will just leave at the 30+ years.
