got some good mail today, thought i would share it....


No one can make you feel inferior without your consent - Eleanor Roosevelt

Think About This

Think about this -- You may not realize it, but it's 100% true:

1.There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world who love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just
like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look around.
11.Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude
remarks.

President George W. Bush
The White House
Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. President,

I could not avoid you tonight as your support for a federal
constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage blared throughout the
airport lounge via CNN. As I listened to your confusing messages about
family and values and politics, I shared sadness with my fellow
travelers about your continuing fear-driven approach to leadership.
Your defense of traditional marriage rang hollow; rather, it was a poor
endorsement for discrimination, ignorance and your conservative
political base.

Uncharacteristically, I decided not to be angry, offended or cynical.
Rather, I desperately want to understand you and your allies on this
issue, and take the high road in that engagement.

So I invite you, Laura and your daughters to spend a day with my family
and explain why you are championing such a cause.

Spend a day with my life partner of 24 years who is one of the most
remarkable human beings you'll ever have the privilege of meeting. A
public school teacher, Bob has spent his life inspiring students and
parents alike with his commitment to a values-laden and creative
approach to learning, serving as a strong life-changing role model for
countless young at-risk city kids over the years.

Spend a day with our energetic and cheerful seven year-old son Ben. Ben
will treat you to an active day full of homework, piano lessons, lego
projects, friends, chores, soccer and baseball. Fully steeped in the
values of love, sharing, friendship and learning, Ben is immensely proud
of his two adoring and engaged parents, and wonderfully enriched by a
diverse and supportive neighborhood.

Spend a day with our extraordinary community of friends and neighbors,
who reflect the America of today and the future - mixed in race,
language, background, family structures and ideas - but united in their
deep commitment to our children, to creating a better future, to loving
our country and to enjoying the richness of life.

Spend a day with our extended family that has supported us with
unconditional love through good times and bad. Our parents, aunts,
uncles, siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews spread around the country
form the foundation of our world. Over the years we have celebrated
countless joyous holidays and celebrations together, as well as helping
them in endless ways through illnesses, financial problems, divorces,
and other family
dramas.

Spend a day with us as we engage in our community as a family and as
individuals, as we actively volunteer at Ben's school, as we have headed
up the local United Way, and as we have worked tirelessly with many
community organizations to improve the lives of our less-fortunate
neighbors. Come join us as we sing and pray in church together.

Spend the day with me as the CEO of a fast-growing global digital media
company who understands the economic interests of supporting stable
communities and families, who must create a vibrant 21st century
inclusive workforce through rigorous recruiting and
non-discriminatory practices, and who is forever seeking that elusive
family-life-work balance.

Spend the day with us as we explain to our son, his friends and cousins,
why the world can be a fragile place where people do bad things out of
ignorance and fear, where people hate people for silly reasons, where
leaders abuse power for political gain at the expense of innocent folks,
and where people waste enormous emotion and energy on side issues when
domestic and child abuse, poverty, racism, divorce and inadequate health
care -
the issues truly threatening the American family - go unattended.

Mr. President, please come spend a day with us. And then, over our
evening family meal, after we have given our nightly thanks to our
loving and hate-free God, explain to this same-sex household just what
family values you are defending for the future of America.



-------------------------------------------------

by the way, love you all!!

so i took the gay test that bobby took and got 20% and i got 60%, but then missa took it and got 52, so i retook it and got 63, i am so more gay than that

i realize im a girl and shouldn't find these funny, but danny sent them to me forever ago, so i want to put them here just cuz they are amusing

Subject: Men's rules!
Finally - men's side of the story.
We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are "the rules"
from the male side. These are our rules! Please note... these are all
numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up,put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and if one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football, the off-side rules ,or pornography.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping.

You are a Slutcom 1, also known as the normal level of slutcom. This category is characterized by occasional hook-ups. These hook-ups are with people that could be potential relationship material, though that's not always 100 percent. They also tend to be not overly physical; sex is rare for a slutcom 1 - and generally, isn't much of a concern. Take the slutcom litmus test! The slutcom litmus test originated in A Word of Advice.
