These images, were taken by me, today
From, over the garden fence

Entitled: 'good weather ahead'

They were, 'first' uploaded from the camera to a folder on the desktop
then they were taken, one at a time, into Windows Paint
and reduced to 42% of the original size
then, these reduced images, were uploaded to a photobucket account
and finally, were brought here via image-linking

Yes... Sis' angel'
I too, have compassion and understanding for [and of]
'broken' family relationships
For I too, havent seen two of my sons
since they departed with their mother in 2003
Their minds, 'poisoned' by their mother [unjustifiably]

The two older lads came around to visit me at my apartment
until, that is, I moved to Manchester in July 2007
and, in the months that followed... contact, with them, simply 'dwindled'
where then, they could 'profit' no-longer
by continuing such contact as we had

Save, for a single phone call of several minutes duration
I havent, spoken with my daughter Miranda, in many many months
despite MANY, voicemail messages to her mobile phone

A recent call to her elder sister, has revealed to me
that Miranda, whom, has two daughters
may be "splitting-up" with/ from, the children's father [?]

This is the first time I have shared online about my estranged son...it has been so painful for me...But I seem to be in a better place. He is responsible for some of the angst...although as a parent I have had a lot of guilt...things could have been better when we were younger.

I can feel for you Dave...and others who may read here...family relationships can be very painful for some of us. ((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))

Awwwww Sis'
I am, in a position to empathise completely with your feelings
but, we must not carry their crosses for them

~ We, each of us... have been given CHOICE
~ as 'individuals' ... to-accept the teachings and administrations, of our elders

We, must-not... reproach ourselves, for 'failing' to ensure others should not fail
We, are only human... by no-means perfect
and... we did... that which we felt was 'right'
according to our knowledge and experience at that-time [what we felt was BEST ?]

Just 'how' they, responded to such 'goodwill' is of their 'own doing'

ask yourself... what MORE... could our parents have done, for US ?
and think on this... what MORE might we have learned
could we, THEN... have been able to foresee our own futures [?]

Our Lord, knew... each of our outcomes whilst we were still in the womb [?]
His will, and not-our's ....will be done!

If I had done this... and what-if....I had done that ....then perhaps....
are.. simply 'self-inflicted abuse' and is, just so-undeserved

Pray for them... but.... love them enough, to let-them-go
to find their own, chosen paths........ as is, their-right also [?]

I pray for you to be able to find His peace in your heart

'There.... but for the grace of God, go I'

:prayer:

your Bro'

Read to the very end about petitions, etc. ca



This is good information, and the reason we will no longer be forwarding
any of this type of emails. So, please do not send us any further ones like this.
Larry, you were right on





great advice -



Advice from Snopes


Here is a nice little tidbit of information that came my way.
So if any of you are wondering why I didn't return something to you
that said something like
"if I don't get this back I'll....or,
"See how many flowers you can get back", or
" Forward this to 10 people in the next 5 mins
or something bad will happen to you", etc..


The following is why I don't send them back:


1) Any time you see an E-Mail that says forward this on
to '10' of your friends, or
sign this petition, or
you'll get bad luck, good luck, or whatever
it almost always has an E-Mail tracker program attached
that tracks the cookies and E-Mails of those folks you forward to.


The host sender is getting a copy
each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists
of 'active' E-Mails to use in SPAM E-Mails,
or to sell to other spammers.

2) Almost all E-Mails that ask you to add your name
and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago
that asked people to send business cards
to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break
the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards.
(Which we now know was untrue).


All it was, and all any of this type of E-Mail is,
is a way to get names and 'cookie' tracking information
for telemarketers and spammers - -
to validate active E-Mail accounts for their own profitable purposes.



YOU can do your friends and family members a GREAT favor
(PLEASE) by sending this information to them;
you will be providing a service to your friends,
and will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam E-Mails in the future!


If you have been sending out (FORWARDING) the above kinds of E-Mail,
now you know why you and all of us get so much SPAM!

Do yourself and all of us a favor and STOP
adding your name(s) to those types of listings
regardless how inviting they might sound!
You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause
but you are NOT in the long run.
INSTEAD, you will be getting tons of junk mail later!
Plus, we are helping the spammers get rich!
Let's don't make it easy for them!

**Also: E-Mail petitions are NOT acceptable
to Congress or any other organization.
To be acceptable, petitions
must have a signed signature and full address
of the person signing the petition.
