Happy New Year to all the lonely souls
To all the lonely souls out there: happy New Year. I say this knowing the hurt and pain you are going through.
All the people who are going through the first taste of being along this year after you spouses death, the death of a parent or even having some slip away from you. Saying good by and walking out the door.
They are all hurts that take time to get over. Losing a loved one especially a spouse hurts a long time. The sting is forever.
Even though the hurt dissipates a little the hole will always be there.
The mistake that some of use do is looking for some else that is close to our spouse. By doing that we keep our self in a safe place. If we don’t love we can’t get hurt again by losing someone else. I have done that for three years.
I found that the pain didn’t’ get less as the years went on it grow stronger. But looking back I realize I did this because I was afraid of losing Brenda forever. If I didn’t feel the pain I would her lose.
We all live in our shadows of the past. The good and the bad however the bad always over cast the good.
As my mother and others have told me there is always someone else that has it worse. Ours problems are our problems and their problems are theirs. That very true but when you really take a good look at it you maybe luckier than you think.
I have a dear friend who lost her husband suddenly only to lose her son eight months later. I lose my wife that’s hard enough but to think about if I lost my daughter, that brings it into perspective.
If you lost a child or anyone in your family to gun violence. Knowing that the killer is still out there. That would be really tough to handle but these families continue on.
Being one of the many soldiers that are coming home from battle with limbs missing. Having to learn to live with this for the rest of their lives.
Being a quadriplegic, living in a wheel chair depending on others to do everything.
My cousin had a tough life and was finely getting it together he got hurt and became a quadriplegic. He didn’t want to live and he got his wish. I think of him often when I am feeling low. Being a person living within themselves, not knowing what the real world is like.
Whatever pain we live in they are always others worst off. I was told that so many times. I thought to myself who cares that’s their problem it’s not going to bring Brenda back. I lost my best friend, my soul mate, and my true love. They were right again it was a blessing to have her for ten years and enjoy her. If I didn’t have her in my life I would of miss all that she gave to life and those around her.
I know that I will never have someone like her again but I can start a new adventure with someone else.
In the end we all have to look back at the bad and learn from it. Take the good and build on it. Look towards the future and welcome it.
Make the best of ever day. Wake up every morning with a smile, Jump out of bed with great anticipation. It’s a new day with new journeys.
For all those out there that is facing this holiday season alone with the lost of a love one. Be with your friends even though you don’t feel like it. When you get home there will be plenty of time to cry.
Things will get better I hope.
I am still suffering from my loss but I am hopping that I will find someone to ease my pain. Someone who can enjoy life with me again.
We all need that, so get out there and start over as soon as you can.
I want to wish all those lonely souls out there a happy New Years and hopefully this year will be better for you. You will never get over your loss but I hope you get over you pain. Life is two short and we all know that.
If you like this article let me know. If you would like to take about you loss let me know. After three years I still feel talking about it helps.
With sincere wishes, I wish you all a Happy New Year
Herb A. Krantz
I feel my body floating, as the years grow dim. They all said that the pain would get less, so when will that be?
When will I feel like a person again?
Someone who can finally enjoy life and live it to it’s fullest.
When will I start to heal?
Every night I use to walk the halls in fear that this is not dream.
No I walk the halls knowing that it’s not.
My life will never be the same. A part of me will always be missing. My eyes will never have the gleam of happiness. I want to live again but can’t. The pain is to great. I have forgotten you voice, your smile, your laugh and the tenderness of your touch.
I want to reach out and hold you again in my arms. Hold your face in my hands and gently kiss the small of your neck.
Doing with less 2010
Its another year gown by and we are still asked to do more with less
Everyone is cutting back now a day to afford just to survive. City’s, States and companies are doing the same to stay in business.
People are asked to do with less and take a cut in pay. Working fewer hours no matter how you look at it is a cut in pay. Some of us are asked to except a lesser health plan. We as consumers are spending less which controls the stock market and that controls our retirement (pensions&401K’s).
We who are getting closer to retirement can’t afford it now. We have to get jobs in Wal-Mart to supplement what we receive. Social Security is not nearly enough to live on and Medicaid does not cover all the medicine a lot of the seniors have to take.
We as a country could and should do better for our citizens.
Staring by cutting back on what we give the World Bank and other counties. Let’s keep some of our money right here in the USA where it belongs. Maybe then we could afford healthcare and other service that should have.
Last but not least I haven’t heard the people who run this country talking about cutting their pay or benefits. Lets start with our dear old President. Senators, Congressman all along down the line, lets give all of them the same healthcare they want to give us and have them pay into the Social Security fund so they can get their pensions from there when they retire. Have them play by the same rules we have to play by. Maybe then they well pass laws for the People by the People.
Where is the World- The UN?
Where is the World- The UN?
The people in Turkey are dieing and the world is standing by.
Why is it that the USA always run to help others all by ourselves?
Weather we become love by the Muslim world or not we are doing the right thing. We are our brother’s keeper. But I don’t understand where all the countries that condemn us are. All our so call allies. All the Muslim countries.
These people are going to die a horrific death. The children are going to pay for the world’s inaptness. It’s a time to call to action in this time of need. This flooding is worst then Haiti, which is still suffering. There should be a foundation that will handle all tragedies like this in the world and that’s all they do,(not the red cross). Lets make Clinton the head of it he seems to get things done weather you like him or not.
Today being Tue 8/17/10 three weeks after the flood started help is still being asked for by the UN. It shows how useful they are. We the U.S. are there and getting stronger. Today I heard that England promised but haven’t done much in the way of help but what do you expect from England, France and Germany. Well Germany I did expect more.
Today the say the flood is the size of England. The Arab countries where the hell are you? You got enough money to really help if the wanted.
NO The World Bank is either give ex amount or loan them the money. I not quit sure I didn’t catch that part. Then again the U.S.A. contributes a large amount more than any other country
Almost forgot about China, Japan, Russia, where are they?
The worst thing I have heard to date is that there President went to Europe during this. It almost reminds me of another President that read a book upside down to children while the Twin Towers were being bomb.
What it with theses Presidents?
CHILDREN ARE DIEING! PLAGUES WILL START SOON.
THOUSANDS, MILLI0NS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE.
It’s no longer about politic, it’s about saving lives!
It’s no longer about religion; it’s about saving lives!
It’s no longer about east against west; it’s about saving lives!
Obama celebrates Ramadan at the white house
Obama celebrates Ramadan at the white house, (which I can not find in my reach any President has done,, then endorsing the building of a masque two blocks away from ground zero. Where was he when the theorists bomb our nation?
I know that he is trying to create a better environment between the Muslims and us but this is totally uncalled for unless we can put bugs in the building so we can hear what they are doing.
I am sorry I don’t trust them. They can build their masque somewhere else. New York is a big place, why there? I truly believe that they should be able to pray where and when the want but not there. There should be no political building, religious, shopping centres built there. This is hallow ground and should bee looked upon as where the enemy had landed just like Normandy beach where we landed to fight world war two. This ground is where I feel the place where the last Great War was started. This war will not stop next year or a few years from know. This war will go one for many years whether we like it or not. The theorist will not make peace until we all pry like them. They have said this not me.
Obama is play right into their hands. The Afghani people do not trust us because we are going to pull out again before the job is done. Our so-called allies where are they? Our troops are getting killed on the front lines. Obama get some balls or are you really born Muslim after all. Better yet are you really an American citizen. I really no have droughts. I have droughts about Bloomberg being able to see how his discussions will ripe New York apart.
Our President and other politicians are losing their balls. They think we as the people will not remember.
Let vote out the people that have outlasted their usefulness and no longer think about the people.
WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITE STATES OF AMERICA must stand up and let them know. Vote the old out and let the new fresh ideas in, Demarcate, Republican, or other. Lets put term limits on how long you can serve in the house and senate.
Vote them out in NOVEMBER
Joe Vs. Jose
I received this in an email. It represents my feeling exactly. It’s time we get ride of the illegal’s that come into this country.
We let the uneducated criminals cross our borders to commit crimes here. If they don’t commit crimes the use up our medical clinics and drain our resources, while our citizens need the help. The come here to have babies so they can bring the rest of there families here.
What we should do is let in more of the people who have an education in areas where we can use them and put them to work. We block or number this kind of people from coming into our country. There is something very wrong with this policy.
Read this letter below and think very hard what it means for America and what it’s saying about America. We need to stop it Know!
God Bless America and the people who legally come here.
Joe vs. Jose
You have two families: “Joe Legal” and “Jose Illegal”.
Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California .
Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.
Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash “under the table”.
Ready? Now pay attention.
Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $24,031.00.
Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.
Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps and welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $9,631.00.
Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Jose Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for insurance. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.
Jose Illegal says, “We don’t need no stinkin’ insurance!” and still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc.
Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month.
Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.
Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.
Joe Legal’s and Jose Illegal’s children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children’s lunches while Jose Illegal’s children get a government sponsored lunch. Jose Illegal’s children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal’s children go home.
Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.
Do you get it, now?
If you vote for or support ANY politician that supports illegal aliens, YOU are part of the problem!
It’s way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!
VOTE ‘EM ALL OUT IN 2010!!!!
What are you waiting for?
Cut and past in an email and Send this on!!!!!!!!!!!!
Three cheers for Arizona
Three cheers for Arizona, they have the guts to stand up for America and fight back.
Since the congress and senate have no balls to protect their citizens someone had to take the first step.
My grandparents didn’t sneak into this country. They came in, got their green cards or what ever they called it back then and went to work. They were proud to be in this country and to call themselves Americans. They paid taxes and raise families with their honest wages they received.
They asked for nothing in return except for a decent wage for a decent day’s work. They didn’t sneak around taking jobs from anyone. They did as they told. The amazing thing is they did all this legally and made a great life for them and their families.
Today the bleeding harts want to give away what centuries of immigrants work hard. We have the boarder with Mexico and their citizens thinking that that America is truly the land of free and they can have everything we as citizens work hard for, for free.
Then there is Canada with wide-open boards where terrorists can sneak in without any question being asked.
This is not tolerated in other countries. When is the USA going to learn a listen of not being so open? I thought that 9/11 would do it. How many bombers on our airplanes or planting bombs in New York will it take? I received an interesting e-mail just as I was righting this. I am sharing this with you.
Understand The Situation |
The American Dream 2010
The American Dream 2010
It was early August morning. The sun was shining and the birds singing. The warmth of the sun was already reflecting off the cement.
People were walking around in short paints and short sleeve shirts. Even though it was hot people were still running around boathouse row. As they ran they drank their water and wiped the heads with rags.
I was sitting on a bench watching them run by. As I sat there I couldn’t remember how I got there. I could smell liquor on my clothes. Then I remembered that I was in a bar last night but I couldn’t remember where. I sat there with my clothes-dripping wet. I looked down; there was a red tint to my close. Like some one trough die on it.
I sat back on the bench and looked up into the sky. It seemed so quite and tranquil. I feel deep in thought. The noise around me stopped. Then the feeling of loneliness came over me. I had nothing; I had no one were the thoughts that rushed through my head. My hart started beating. It felt like it was going to explode inside me. The harder it beat the more I went into a daze. My eyes wouldn’t open. Then I saw my life flash before me. I could see a young child around six years old and another child around two. They were running around a large back yard. There was a good size house attached to it. Who weir they and why was I thinking about them. I don’t remember them or the house. I don’t remember a wife, children or anything about my life. I do remember that I was some kind of salesman. I would travel all day talking to people but about what I don’t know.
I feel so empty, so alone. Like I didn’t have a purpose in the world. I could feel tears rolling down my eyes. I just sat there and tried to put all the memories and faces together that was now shooting into my mine. I had to put them in order. There was a blond woman stand with her back towards me. I couldn’t see her face or hear any voices but I knew she was crying. I felt her sadness.
What is going on? Nothing made sense. All these feelings feel real and not like a dream. I tried to wake but I couldn’t
Tears started rolling down my eyes again. Again I tried opening my eyes. This time with success.
It was late afternoon and I was covered with sweat. I got up and started walking. As I walked I could feel myself floating above the rooftops. I feel like I was in a movie.
All the sudden I stop floating and hovered over a street where a several people were gatherd. They were standing in the middle of it.
I was about to find out what was going on. Two children were standing there with the blond woman over a man lying that was not moving. There was another woman that looked frantic and was crying also. I could hear the ambulance coming in the background. As I looked at the man lying on the ground I was shocked to see whom it was. It was me! As I saw myself lying there I knew that I was going to die!
It all came back to me. That was my wife and two children. We were living the typical middle class life when everything came falling down. I lost my job and it got tough to pay all the bills. I was working two jobs and my wife picked up an extra job on the weekends. But it wasn’t enough. Our house was going to be foreclosed on in a month. The bank wouldn’t renegotiate our loan. The only way I saw that my family could keep the home we work for so long for was to take drastic action. I ran into the street on purpose hopping to get hit and die. I know that was the cowardly thing to do but this way my family would collect my insurance. This way they would face being homeless. I gave my life to make sure.
The Government and the banks let us down. I worked two jobs and my wife work a job on the weekends to show the bank that we would do anything to save our home. That wasn’t enough. This program that the government has helps only the banks.
I had to die to keep my house. My family has to do without me so they could live in our home.
I had to die for them to live!!!
This is not a true story that I know of but I bet somewhere some one has thought of it because the banks and our government has failed to keep the American Dream alive for the American people.
Even though no one helps America it is time for us to stand up again and help Haiti, If you like article please go to the link below and donate to the Red Cross
A call to action wake up America
I was sent this email and it only proved what I had suspected. That is we should follow Israel and be ready for anything and be aware that the Terrorist are out to kill us by any means possible.
The world and we are at war; it could be the most important war we have ever had. We have to be strong and do anything that it takes. We need strong leaders. Not leaders that are afraid to do what maybe offensive to some. It means the lives of many for the sacrifice of few. I watch a show on T.V last night and although it’s not biased on true facts, it hit a fact that we better be aware of. The actor was asked when the jihad would be over. He said it would never end until all infidels were killed. That is true in real life. We are in a real war that may never end. The lives we lived before 9/11 will never be again. Our children, children-children and their children will never live in peace.
Read this below, it will put fear in you hart. Fear that should be there. Be aware of what goes on around you.
Advice from an Israeli Agent
AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ !!
Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie ‘Munich’ was based. He was Golda Meir’s bodyguard, and she appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games.
In a lecture in New York City he shared information that EVERY American needs to know — but that our government has not yet shared with us.
He predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O’Reilly show on Fox News stating publicly that it would happen within a week. At the time, O’Reilly laughed, and mocked him saying that in a week he wanted him back on the show. Unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred.
Juval Aviv gave intelligence (via what he had gathered in Israel and the Middle East) to the Bush Administration about 9/11, a month before it occurred. His report specifically said they would use planes as bombs and target high profile buildings and monuments. Congress has since hired him as a security consultant.
Now for his future predictions. He predicts the next terrorist attack on the U.S. will occur within the next few months..
Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as they know the people onboard will never go down quietly again. Aviv believes our airport security is a joke — that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective.
For example:
1) Our airport technology is outdated. We look for metal, and the new explosives are made of plastic.
2) He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives. Now we can’t bring liquids on board. He says he’s waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; at which point, security will have us all travelling naked!
Every strategy we have is reactionary.
3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates.
Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. It would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they run to the restroom or get a drink, and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel, security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.
Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate. (i.e., Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, big cities (New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.) and that it will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc., as well as, rural America this time. The interlands (Wyoming, Montana, etc.).
The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas.
Aviv says terrorists won’t need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.
Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence circles, but that our U. S. Government does not want to ‘alarm American citizens’ with the facts. The world is quickly going to become ‘a different place’, and issues like ‘global warming’ and political correctness will become totally irrelevant.
On an encouraging note, he says that Americans don’t have to be concerned about being nuked. Aviv says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons. They like to use suicide as a front-line approach. It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s effective; and they have an infinite abundance of young militants more than willing to ‘meet their destiny’.
He also says the next level of terrorists, over which America should be most concerned, will not be coming from abroad. But will be, instead, ‘homegrown’, having attended and been educated in our own schools and universities right here in the U.S. He says to look for ‘students’ who frequently travel back and forth to the Middle East. These young terrorists will be most dangerous because they will know our language and will fully understand the habits of Americans; but that we Americans won’t know/understand a thing about them.
Aviv says that, as a people, Americans are unaware and uneducated about the terrorist threats we will inevitably face. America still has only a handful of Arabic and Farsi speaking people in our intelligence networks, and Aviv says it is critical that we change that fact SOON.
So, what can America do to protect itself? From an intelligence perspective, Aviv says the U.S. needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for intelligence. We need to, instead, follow Israel’s, Ireland’s and England’s hands-on examples of human intelligence, both from an infiltration perspective as well as to pay attention to, and trust ‘aware’ citizens to help. We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens; however, our U. S. government continues to treat us, its citizens, ‘like babies’. Our government thinks we ‘can’t handle the truth’ and are concerned that we’ll panic if we understand the realities of terrorism. Aviv says this is a deadly mistake..
Aviv recently created/executed a security test for our Congress, by placing an empty briefcase in five well-travelled spots in five major cities. The results? Not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to check it out. In fact, in Chicago, someone tried to steal the briefcase!
In comparison, Aviv says that citizens of Israel are so well ‘trained’ that an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds by citizen(s) who know to publicly shout, ‘Unattended Bag!’ The area would be quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves.
Unfortunately, America hasn’t been yet ‘hurt enough’ by terrorism for their government to fully understand the need to educate its citizens or for the government to understand that it’s their citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of defense against terrorism.
Aviv also was concerned about the high number of children here in America who were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11, who were ‘lost’ without parents being able to pick them up, and about our schools that had no plan in place to best care for the students until parents could get there. (In New York City, this was days, in some cases!)
He stresses the importance of having a plan, that’s agreed upon within your family, of how to respond in the event of a terrorist emergency. He urges parents to contact their children’s schools and demand that the schools too, develop plans of actions, just as they do in Israel.
Does your family know what to do if you can’t contact one another by phone? Where would you gather in an emergency? He says we should all have a plan that is easy enough for even our youngest children to remember and follow.
Aviv says that the U. S. government has in force a plan, that in the event of another terrorist
attack, EVERYONE’s ability to use cell phones, blackberries, etc., will immediately be cut-off, as this is the preferred communication source used by terrorists and is often the way that their bombs are detonated.
How will you communicate with your loved ones in the event you cannot speak to each other? You need to have a plan.
If you understand, and believe what you have just read, then you must feel compelled to send this to every concerned parent, guardian, grandparents, uncles, aunts, whomever. Don’t stop there. In addition to sharing this via e-mail, contact and discuss this information with whomever it makes sense to. Make contingency plans with those you care about. Better that you have plans in place, and never have to use them, then to have no plans in place, and find you needed them.
If you choose not to share this, or not to have a plan in place, and nothing ever occurs — good for you! However, in the event something does happen, and even more so, if it directly affects your loved ones, then this e-mail will haunt you forever.
Telling yourself after the fact, “I should have sent this to so and so, but deleted it as so much trash, plus I just didn’t believe it”, will not change anything. You were alerted, had the chance to do something, and instead of erring on the side of caution, you chose to disregard, if nothing else, a sensible, valuable warning.
