My best friend that passed a while ago taught me

it aian't about what ya got (physically)

it's about if your happy ...


he was the brokest guy in the world

as long as he woke up with 2 dollars and a half a pack of cigrettes in his pocket he was happiest guy in the world and he made everyone else around him happy

Ok so I met this guy on another unnamed site. A localish guy even. He is totally handsome, beautiful smile, witty, just dreamy.

He is like the opposite of me, in every sense. No tattoos, just your every day guy. He seems so out of my league.

He wanted ME to go out on a date, and I blew my chances.He gave me his number and I never called him. I am not a rich girl, he is successful, I felt like the girl in pretty in pink when she was embarrassed about where she lives.

I have done this too many times, and I cant stop myself. How can I regain confidence when my home life isnt all that great?

I do not want a man to rescue me, Im content in the life I have now. I work hard and have my bills paid on time each month.I just dont want anyone to think Im a loser. Help me get over my fear of being poor and letting someone know.

I may regret this thread tomorrow.

Can you even imagine what this would have been like if they had gone through with it?!

Report: Bush mulled sending troops into Buffalo
AP 40 mins ago

WASHINGTON – The Bush administration in 2002 considered sending U.S. troops into a Buffalo, N.Y., suburb to arrest a group of terror suspects in what would have been a nearly unprecedented use of military power, The New York Times reported.

Vice President Dick Cheney and several other Bush advisers at the time strongly urged that the military be used to apprehend men who were suspected of plotting with al Qaida, who later became known as the Lackawanna Six, the Times reported on its Web site Friday night. It cited former administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The proposal advanced to at least one-high level administration meeting, before President George W. Bush decided against it.

Dispatching troops into the streets is virtually unheard of. The Constitution and various laws restrict the military from being used to conduct domestic raids and seize property.

According to the Times, Cheney and other Bush aides said an Oct. 23, 2001, Justice Department memo gave broad presidential authority that allowed Bush to use the domestic use of the military against al-Qaida if it was justified on the grounds of national security, rather than law enforcement.

Among those arguing for the military use besides Cheney were his legal adviser David S. Addington and some senior Defense Department officials, the Times reported.

Opposing the idea were Condoleezza Rice, then the national security adviser; John B. Bellinger III, the top lawyer at the National Security Council; FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III; and Michael Chertoff, then the head of the Justice Department's criminal division.

Bush ultimately nixed the proposal and ordered the FBI to make the arrests in Lackawanna. The men were subsequently arrested and pleaded guilty to terrorism-related charges.

Scott L. Silliman, a Duke University law professor specializing in national security law, told the Times that a U.S. president had not deployed the active-duty military on domestic soil in a law enforcement capacity, without specific statutory authority, since the Civil War.

Chef Paul's dishes tend to be that way, but the complex balance of flavors has to be tasted to be appreciated. He used to have a cooking show and made the comment "I want to wake up your entire mouth!" He knows how.

I tend to ... er ... spill ... a little extra spice into the mix.

That's my only gripe

Please don't try and change me


I've never been anything but what I am. I'm sorry but it's the truth. Through all the ups and downs of my life I have always remained who I am. Why? I don't know but I thank god that's the case!

I accept you as you.
