A TEAR CAME INTO MY EYE.

When do tears come into your eyes. At sad occasions and happy occasions, that's when tears fill my eyes.
The other day a noted sports figure stood before his family, fans, ex-fans and other who followed his career and idolized him unaware that he was not the man they thought he was. His ability to play the sport he was famous for and his smile captivated the world of sports involved in golf. He had everyone fooled. His beautiful wife, family members, critics and host of followers who spent their hard earned money to go see him play, purchase the products he endorsed and buy his video's on playing the perfect round of golf.
There is no need to go into what he did because that was publicized enough in the papers, magazines and on TV.
The other day everyone was abuzz about Tiger Woods getting on television and apologizing to everyone for the mistakes he made in life, hoping that all will be forgiven. Will it? I, as others do think that he did it so he could get back into the game and start raking in the money that he is losing from his lost endorsements. Let him wallow in his shame as other common folk do when they don't have the chance to say I'm sorry. People have done a lot less and are never forgiven.
I guess money speaks as it did for some politicians over the years.

LEARNING YOUR A, B, C'S

It's every ones desire to hear their child say their first words. Maybe it's daddy, or mommy or the most common first word NO. After that it's going on to the cute little things and even greater things like their ABC's. At what age do children do these things? Some do it early in life and some of course later.
In Tacoma, Washington an Army sergeant pleaded guilty to using water torture on his 4 year old daughter to force her to learn her ABC's. He is accused of pulling his daughter's head backward into the kitchen sink and letting water run onto her face because she would not recite her ABC's.
It's too bad that our laws do not allow for "an eye for an eye" and I hope mom was not there watching and doing nothing about it.

WHY HAVE SECURITY GUARDS?

This comes from Seattle. A young girl of 15 years of age was punched, knocked to the ground, kicked in the head and robbed in a downtown Seattle bus tunnel. The article didn't say what condition the girl was in but I'm sure it is not good.
Was there help near by, YES, did they help NO. The help was three tunnel security guards. Although unarmed I'm sure they could have done something since there were three of them. The guards actions, which were caught on surveillance video have prompted a review of the policy that unarmed civilian guards call police and not try to stop fights or crimes. WHY HAVE THEM and yes the policy should be looked into. It would be nice to know just what are their duties. What a world with stupid policies.

A WALK IN THE SNOW

First let me say HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to one and all.
I said those words to my love yesterday as I delivered yellow roses to her. I had to walk in 6 inches of snow to visit her. I was able to find her by the wreath I placed for her for Christmas. I brushed away the snow that covered her headstone and placed 12 yellow roses. The roses were not real because of the cold weather but the words I LOVE YOU were real and she knows it. She was taken from me four years ago on February 13, 2006 at the age of 60.
I will never forget nor stop loving her as she will forever be in my heart and mind.
Happy Valentines Day sweetheart.

GOOD MOVE BY SCHOOL BOARD OR GOVT?

When y0u send your child to school you would think that those in charge of our children would watch out for them. Teach them and give them the proper tools to get them to their adult life as prepared as possible.
My grand daughter has a speech problem as did her brother. Her brother was sent to a speech therapist in his school and today you would never know he had a problem.
I must say that a times it is very hard to understand my grand daughter because she does no use the letter r. She is a lovely child and is a good student. The rule was that no speech therapy was given until the child reached 9 years of age. In 2009 that rule was changed and now it states that a student will receive speech therapy only if it affects their grades. In the meantime, I'm sure there are other children with the same problem, they have to endure being made fun of by other students and will have this problem in their later lives. Why can't they include these children with those who have this problem and are not good students. Isn't speaking clearly a way of communicating that is very important in today's way of life. Sending a child to a speech therapist on your own is very expensive and my grand daughter's parents cannot afford this.
Who makes these decisions? Are these Federal cuts?
Whoever made these decisions must have their heads up their anal exits.
