I imagine Raymond Arroyo will play a large part, a huge turn-off from my perspective.
Interesting that Bernie Sanders is listed
in that he is not a Democrat;
he just caucuses with Democrats, the same as Angus King.
Poor generalization; smug;
Too bad others have to be knocked while we're celebrating the good, decent act of another.
Librarian (retired)
Not in today's world.
The card catalogs are gone. It would be difficult to get access to appropriate books and materials.
Much of today's info is not in books.
I was more of an info specialist/reference librarian than into literature.
Haven't read a book cover to cover in years because nearly all my info comes through computers or the daily newspaper I still subscribe to.
Now that is beautiful-
A real pleasure for the eyes and heart.
He's a natural.
Isn't it great?
I use a credit card routinely, at stores, restaurants, gas stations-
I can't stand fiddling around in my purse and wallets for the correct bills not to mention the various cards the stores, etc. provide for discounts, etc.
Then I pay the credit card bill in full every month, and get some airline points along the way.
Can't imagine why that would bother anyone to see another using a credit card.
I'm thinking of the young people whom we recognize as saints-
Maria Goretti, Agnes, Tarcisius, Theresa of the child Jesus.
Also those to whom apparitions were made were/are often children - the children of Fatima, St. Bernadette.
Confirmation could and maybe should be delayed until the 12-13 year, when more conscious decisions can be made re religious beliefs.
He was eating a McDonald's, not
"at a neighborhood McDonald's".
Also, he was not the first one on the scene; Angel, across the street from Ariel's house, was there first, but doesn't communicate well in english, so newscasters chose Charles Ramsey for interviews.
That being said, if Charles Ramsey gets a few breaks as a result of his participation, more power to him. He seems like a good guy.
I disagree somewhat with those who say separate completely
from your family.
I my mind, it's always good and wise to leave the slightest opening, if only to your mother.
Obviously, she (and they) are ignorant of your real needs and likely would continue to hurt you if given a chance.
However, for your own sake, keep in touch with your mother - on her birthday a card, just wishing her well and letting her know you are getting along. - Nothing wordy, not even a return address if you feel that's best. But that small gesture will help diminish the hole you have in your heart re your family.
I have seen in my extended family the hurt and harm that can not be undone completely because of all the time gone by and times unshared. Thankfully, healing has been done, but only after the death of the instigator.
Please continue to keep in touch via DU. There is much kindness and empathy here, and there are those that can suggest means. even though small to bring you to the fuller life you deserve. (And you do deserve that, I hope you realize.)
