My husband and I need a place to go. The only thing is, we have animals. A dog, 2 cats and a load of ducks, 2 chickens, a goose and a peacock. Right now, we are in a place where it is made obvious we are not welcome, but we have no other options. We dont have a lot of money, but are not afraid to work in lieu of rent or if we can find work, we'll gladly pay. We work pimarily with horses, but will do anything and everything else!

Most tend to turn people away because they have animals, but then people compain about the growing stray animal population! Well, we are not the type to just dump our pets. We can and will live in very small or modest places. We just need a roof over our heads, and a place to keep our 'kids'.

Everywhere is so expensive. We really dont have a lot, but that may turn around very soon. However, we cant make time go faster than it does! Any help or constructive advice is welcome :)

Will you join me in Red Friday:

Jun 18, 2009

  • A national anthem is a patriotic song that honors the history, customs, and struggles of a country.

     

  • The National Anthem of the United States is The Star Spangled Banner.

     

  • The lyrics to The Star Spangled Banner were written by Francis Scott Key in 1814.

     

  • Key was a lawyer, author, district attorney, and amateur poet.

     

  • He wrote the words during the War of 1812.

     

  • The War of 1812 was between the United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

     

  • Key wrote the words in response to seeing the bombing of American forces at Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore.

     

  • He wrote them in a poem called The Defense of Fort McHenry.

     

  • The Battle of Baltimore happened in Maryland.

     

  • The "star spangled banner" in the song refers to the American flag, which has stars.

     

  • The word "spangled" means twinkling and the word "banner" means flag.

     

  • The Star Spangled Banner was adopted in 1916 as the American National Anthem by an executive order from President Woodrow Wilson.

     

  • In 1934, it was adopted by a congressional resolution, which was signed by President Herbert Hoover.

Operation Red Friday.....  Last week I was in Atlanta, Georgia attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.

Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camo's; as they began heading to their gate everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering. When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red blooded American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families.

Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal. Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old, ran up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said "hi," the little girl then she asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her. The young soldier, he didn’t look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.

The mother of the little girl, who said her daughters name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Marine and had been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her daughter, Courtney, missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up. When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military looking walkie-talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it.

After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, "I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you." He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying "your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon."

The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event unfolded. As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause.

As I stood there applauding and looked around, there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in one last act of selflessness turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.

We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be an American.

Red Friday

Just keeping you "in the loop" so you'll know what's going on in case this takes off.

RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority". We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions.

Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once resilient" majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is...We need your support and your prayers.

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday.

WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED---- SO WEAR RED! --- MAY GOD HELP AMERICA TO BECOME ONE NATION, UNDER GOD?

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

pass the word around let us all support our troops.

Resourceful Information

Oct 16, 2008

During these times of economical difficulties we are all going to need as much resourceful information as possible to be provided.It's going to help a lot of us just to have an unjudgemental someone to reach out to with nothing to do with pride.Someone who looks into to their own childrens face day to day and know what the hardship is.We all need someone that could be, or could have seen a time of not knowing where you may live next month.

                                                                          So lets speak-out

hello.

my name is aaron and i'm writing this posting to hopefully find someone who would be able to offer my boyfriend and i (we are 2 gay males, both 28) some place to call home for a couple of weeks to two months. both of us are fighting to stay sober right now, and our living arrangements/environment is not a big help. unfortunately we both got involved with drugs a few years back, and we are desperately working towards a healthy and sober future. we love eachother so much, and we know that without a better place to live, and a more stable living situation, things just won't get better for us. we are willing to work in exchange for housing (yard work, animal care, it technology trained, etc) not interested in any type of sexual arrangements, sorry.

if you or someone you know has been through the recovery process, or just would be able to help us out, we would appreciate hearing from you asap. we are good people, who don't have much more than the will to survive and a smile on our faces. thanks,

aaron/joey
