Dear Julia its been 20 years since we divorced........ its was ugly.... I know now how wrong I was, I know the example I set for your kids was awfull... I thought it was the way for me to be.... I was so full of rage and anger in those days.. I know I caused you and the boys pain by my behavior... self destructive as I was I now treasure life.. You taught me kindness ...and I rebuked you for it.. altho I apply it now... Please forgive me...... I know you cannot forget, bu...

Ok ok ok This idea is in reponse to another post.. Chivalery is not dead..... I come form an older generation and please do not say its dead, tired yes... Give me an excuse to polish up my armour, sharpen my rusty nicked broadsword, beg my old charger to run one more time and I will do this. Men I think are programed for this {at least old farts like me} My wife who is brillant, askes me why when I hear her complain I just cannot listen to it, why must I seek an immediate soluti...

Whew finally I get to spend some quality time with my wife at the beach house down south close to montarey, we leave tommorrow morning and spend tuesday, wednsday and thursday night there, then come home friday. This is a reward because I worked hard, created my own buisness {yes bad spelling and all} and retired, fairly well off, comfortable and did all this as a DEMOCRAT, My wife works hard and I have to be creative to get her to slack-up and take some r and r. So no word from me for...

Without stuff, and me getting all mushy I wanted to thank the readers, posters, and players here in Joe user. I am off to the far reaches of Canada tomorrow with wife in tow. I wanted to express my Gratitude to those that have helped raise me out of the doldrums I has in November, so many real people here I just cannot begin to name them all, so I will not name any. You know who you are. I wish to say the one here in her full fury against me, also helped me in ways that even she coul...

How does one get from “ I support my President” to YOU are a blind toe the party line person! How does one get from “I think this war is wrong” to you are un-American How come when you type, “I do not believe so and so lied” THEY SEE you believe anything someone from your party tells you! How come when you say” coercive interrogation is ok” THEY see, you believe in torture. Where do these thoughts come from? How can someone see what they want to that has nothing to do with what yo...

This is a time of reflection for me and as I journied into the past one particular life altering time came to me. When I came back from my trip over the pond {the pacific} I for some insane reason thought I was immortal and invulnerable to pain and harm. I was making the rounds seeing old friends that I had lost track of over the years and made contact with 2 brothers that were my friends the speaks brothers... well larry was my age and one tough man... johnny was older and even ...

For anyone that is intrested, I am blowing this freakshow off fer awhile. All the bad feelings and flaming and name calling, sounds like a childs romper room, here is my email for anyone that wants to stay in touch. If I start getting spammed I will just delete this name , creat a new email name and only give it to those few here that already have it. MM

While I respect whip and her views, I cannot say that kicking puppies is something to "enjoy". I do understand that whip is talking about humans, but I think and feel, we are all judged by how we treat the weakest of us, in life and on joeuser. Now remember I was a huge bully at one time and really enjoyed picking on the least of us { as I perceived them to be} I grew out of this {no I am not saying people that kick puppies are immature} SHIT HOW many disclaimers am I going to have t...

Michele is not what you would expect to see in a hero, she is not tall, she has a sweet face and a kind loving disposition. She struggles daily with one of the most debillating diseases known to man Multiple sclerosis. She raises 3 wonderfull children, all of them bright and as kids love to be, willfull as hell. Her "husband" is someone that should be beaten, with a 4 by 4.. with nails in it, rusty ones. She has been sober now for almost 5 years, and her husband hates that, becaus...

Mrs. Modman here - for those of you that responded to Elie's poem, let me simply say, I know how lucky I am. We are fortunate and we are very clear about our good fortune. Thank you all for your kind words. Mrs. Modman out.......

She enters a room…… my heart jumps.. She radiates beauty….. calm.. sweet love. She favors me with a smile… sadness in her eyes.. Cloudlifter I call her… Stormbringer she calls me. She is the one I changed for…. Till the change became me. Clouds of doom she lifted from me.. Sweetness, the taste of her lips

As I was walking with all the grace an ill man that is 58 years old, on rocks that just an hour before was submerged in the pacific ocean, suddenly I went flying over the rocks. Sure footed as any 10-year-old boy, Running on slippery rocks, arms thrown out to my sides, laughing with joy. For a brief moment in time, I could feel the wind on my head, and just knew I still was wearing the crew cut I had worn as a child

Although I am not strong enough yet to really write an article, I felt moved to give my thanks for the tremendous outpouring of love and concern during my illness. I will not name individual names as you know who you are, those that have sent cards, sent prayers, phone calls, kind thoughts and all the loving gestures have moved me in ways that I have not been moved for a long time. I will be back, more than likely a kinder and gentler Elie.  HAH!! Love, hugs and kisses to all....
