Why is it<br />
That now, I had remembered my commitment oh so many years ago<br />
I Remembered the prayers I pleaded with God<br />
To help my husband, my lover, over come his addiction to alcohol<br />
And the hope that someday he would love me just as much as I loved him<br />
And desired a life of two people who could learn, live and love together<br />
To have the picture perfect family life that I had always dreamed of....<br />

Why is it<br />
That now, I had remembered my commitment oh so many years ago<br />
I Remembered the prayers I pleaded with God<br />
To help my husband, my lover, over come his addiction to alcohol<br />
And the hope that someday he would love me just as much as I loved him<br />
And desired a life of two people who could learn, live and love together<br />
To have the picture perfect family life that I had always dreamed of....<br />
With the man whom I had such a lust fest with and left a dead marriage because of......<br />
It was just lust, not a lot of love, or so I thought ....he just didn't know how to show it....<br />
Do I wanted to be his teacher...his lover.....<br />
Was it just lust, was there much love......I don't know, I thought there was....on my end.....but....<br />
<br />
after being apart for 10 years he came back into mylife<br />
and now 2 years later we are together again after being apart for 6 months<br />
<br />
he puts doubts into my mind after fights....that what I felt was love for him all those years ago....wasnt love but my desire to change him? as he puts it....<br />
<br />
<br />
The tears well up in my eyes because now, once again I'm being tempted by someone who shows me so much of what I yearn....<br />
<br />
My lust fest of 13 years was mostly good, some bad, but when it went bad it just didn't get better....and I couldn't understand why....it just kept getting worse.....so I left....<br />
<br />
12 years ago<br />
I was in school to become a travel agent- I dreamed of traveling and a life full of adventure.....<br />
I was busy with school and didn't want to date anyone until I knew my marriage was over because I could and would not leave him for another man<br />
I wanted to leave him because I felt he no longer truly wanted to be with me.<br />
<br />
The day that I signed my divorce papers, I went back to work and was heavy with grief, but nothing more I could do.<br />
I was free of his life, and turned away and rarely looked back, only because.....<br />
<br />
That very day....a beautiful blue eyed man came into my life...<br />
He had me at hello, he gave me hope that my life would be ok<br />
<br />
<br />
But 6 weeks later<br />
<br />
Tore my heart out and threw it along the road to knowhere<br />
leaving it to bleed along the side of the road<br />
<br />
As if leaving me at the Road kill cafe (Rubys Road Kill Cafe) thanks to Wyldeabandon<br />
<br />
5 years ago I opened my own cafe<br />
To raise my dead heart and give my soul something more in life<br />
Than pain<br />
<br />
But the pain came in other forms, working long hard hours<br />
And many dollars lost<br />
<br />
<br />
With the help of the Internet<br />
<br />
Ruby has loved all the men who have loved her back<br />
who then was then a red rose of summer<br />
And now in the autumn of my life<br />
Once again I have met new friends<br />
And dated new men<br />
Finding exactly what I want in my life<br />
And my man.....<br />
<br />
<br />
After all<br />
<br />
I was 17 when I married my first man and was in love with love not so sure it was him....<br />
marrying for all of the wrong reasons, what did I know about Love, men, let alone<br />
taking care of a home with children under foot...<br />
<br />
But my two children are the blessings from that marriage,<br />
But, I was a lousy mom and ran off leaving and sharing kids with their dad, tried hard to make it work in two homes....<br />
<br />
But needed some satisfaction in life....<br />
<br />
Enter Ex man # 2, and sex..... Yummy.......yummy yummy sex....<br />
<br />
And fast forward to today<br />
He has moved back in because of his life style choices<br />
and my stupidity or desire to rekindle, or what ever reason<br />
we have tried and<br />
<br />
We don't have it anymore :(<br />
<br />
But just when I remembered that commitment to make it work 25 years ago when we first got married......<br />
<br />
<br />
Now there is no lust full sexual excitement and desire<br />
<br />
<br />
And hope to rebuild it is looking more and more impossible<br />
just when I think its all done, he comes home with a piece of<br />
hope to allow me to believe he too is working on US....<br />
<br />
<br />
Along comes another gorgeous man<br />
God knows I'm a sucker for gorgeous men :(<br />
what a sense of humor!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Which way do I go<br />
Does lust and love renew after so much pain?<br />
Does committement from the first oath<br />

The other day, after I pointed out my husbands...dwindling IQ, he asked me if it bothers me that I am insane.(Maybe he's smarter than he looks, I thought.) No, I answered. But then again, I avoid situations where insanity is not socially acceptable. After all, I'm an artist; I'm supposed to be insane. At least I'm relatively harmless, if not exactly 'employable'.<br />

Has anyone ever been a victium of this? I am looking at TV show now that is talking about a girl that had a nose job after someone make fun of hers on line? People can be cruel and do not think of how much damage it does to the other person.

Did you read the story yesterday of all the hysterical behavior going with the boy and the balloon. Do you think this was a hoax to get their own reality show or do you think this was the real thing. They appeared on a reality show recently and the Dad called the media immediatly after calling police. I find the entire thing a little strange. I am glad the young man is safe, but, do not make a fool out of our community services. and who should pay of all this. The boy was upstairs in the attic.

So that got me thinking. Of course the entity that owns the board game Sorry is owned by another entity and that entity is controlled by a conglomerate that manufactures <i>and markets</i> food, soap, beauty products, you know . . . the list goes on.<br />
<br />
And the point of course, is to provide children the suggestion that they are hungry while they play the board game. Indeed, at least one of the participants I observed that got me thinking along these lines was eating ~ and of course this conspicuous consumption was nothing more than junk food.<br />
<br />
I find it interesting.<br />
<br />
I also find interesting the notion that no one complains when we insist to the tobacco companies that their advertisements not be placed at the eye level of children at the corner store. We may not get the direct connection between marketing campaigns and their impact on the kids, but the iconography of the Marlboro man seated on his horse traversing some snow covered ridge is lost on no one. And so it receives regulation, much to the consternation of Big Tobacco.<br />
<br />
Yet, if we attempt to regulate the power of suggestion applied to board games attempting to suggest to the children with subtlety and craft that they are hungry, I have no doubt that we will see a back lash of resentment and heated debate. As if industrial entities were entitled to all of the freedoms enshrined by our founding documents, just as any other citizen.<br />
<br />
I have no doubt of this outcome, even though we have documented the effects of junk food on our nation's trend toward obiesisty, the consequence and the cost to our system of health care and our overall well being.<br />
<br />
How can this be?<br />
<br />
Simple. Most of the mass of Americans who hew toward the right cannot grasp either subtlety or nuance, and so the how and the why that lies behind the ways in which they are manipulated to our general harm is lost on them, though it is not at all lost on those who tend toward profit as they use the power of suggestion to manipulate our appetite - whether it be for food, sex, or public outrage.<br />

<br />
The faux outrage politicians manufacture on demand has been replaced by real outrage. Outrage at the American people for failing to understand the nuances, the broad outline of a 1,000 page plus bill that most politicians haven't even read. Hey, that's what staff is for, explained new Democrat, Arlen Spector.<br />
<br />
Peons from fly-over country are daring to challenge the carefully scripted and (deliberately?) misleading talking points. Talking points which, by the way, have been endorsed by the media. Don't these guys read the New York Times?<br />
<br />
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are using the standard liberal tactic of diverting attention from the issue by demonizing the dissenter, in this case, the American people. According to Pelosi and Reid, voicing objections to the federal government's take over of 17% of the formerly free market economy is 'un-American.' Harry Reid has gone a step further, tarring dissenters as 'evil mongers.'<br />
<br />
<br />
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs has blithely dismissed the burgeoning dissent by informing one and all that these 'townhalls are not representative of America.' Obama, meanwhile, is trying to divert the issue by blaming the 'headline hungry television networks', accusing them of 'inflaming an ugly backlash.'<br />
<br />
<br />
Unused to any opposition that can't be spun to their advantage, or ignored, Democrats are desperately trying to convince Americans that the tidal wave of opposition is not genuine. Used to viewing every issue in political terms, our elected officials are actually convinced that the disruptive townhalls are merely the product of an evil conservative cabal. After all, every person these lawmakers know agree with them on this issue. Its called the 'inside the beltway syndrome.'<br />
<br />
Despite a new $12 million ad campaign designed to soothe Americans into relying on misplaced compassion instead of common sense, pesky Joe Six-Pack and Susy Homemaker still don't get it. And adding insult to injury, American citizens are starting to question where all the money is coming from to run these ads. And by the way, who's signing the paychecks for the new army of health care advocates who are being paid $12 to $13 an hour for their support? Inquiring minds want to know.<br />
<br />
Answers to these questions are not forthcoming. Like the classic case of a wife catching her husband in bed with another woman, the question has become, "Who are you going to believe? Me, or the evidence of your own eyes?"<br />
<br />
Obama, in his latest finger-pointing lecture to the great unwashed, assured the masses that the proposed 'public option' won't put private insurers out of business. When confronted with his own words to the contrary in 2007, he dismissed the discrepancy as a 'mis-statement'. Oops. Time to move on. Time to focus on the real villains.<br />
<br />
Identifying a common enemy is another tried and true tactic liberals employ when it gets too hot in the kitchen. But the historically favorite villain, those dastardly drug companies, have already made their deal with the government health plan. And blaming the insurance companies won't work either, since they're on board, too. The only villain left is the American people.<br />
<br />
Not all Americans, Obama and the media assure us. No, the real villain can be traced to the 'hate groups' that have suddenly, and conveniently emerged. As reported by ABC: "Experts say a sharp growth in so-called militia groups that helped spawn a wave of domestic terrorism in the 1990s – are now using YouTube, rock music and the Internet to recruit members and spread hate and fear - and shouldn't be ignored."<br />
<br />
These hate groups, we are assured by the ultra liberal Southern Poverty Law Center, are protesting President Obama, not his health care plan. Not only that, they are putting his life in danger. Headlines inform us: 'Fear For Obama's Safety Grows As Hate Groups Thrive On Racial Backlash.'<br />
<br />
This is a media twofer. Obama is the now the victim instead of the oppressor. And dissenters are racist rednecks.<br />
<br />
<br />
The only problem is, Americans aren't buying it. They're suffering from the political equivalent of the 'battered woman syndrome.' Americans have been deceived and beaten up by the government so many times lately, that, even though they still love Obama, they're taking steps to distance themselves from what has become an increasingly dangerous relationship. Flowers, new cars, and soothing words are no longer effective. Even the race card isn't ringing their bells.<br />
<br />
Liberals have finally succeeded in persuading Americans to look at the broad picture instead of inconvenient details. The kicker is, as more Americans see the broad picture, they see the unprecedented devolution of power to the federal government. They see the loss of America's traditional reliance on individuals instead of government. They see the loss of personal liberty and freedom of choice. And they don't like it.<br />

<b>An Open Letter On Health Care</b><br />
<br />
<br />
I've posted the following comments online:<br />
<br />
There are thousands of stories out there, of the insurance industry engaging in a pattern of denial and delay when it comes to medical services. Hey, it's cheaper if the patient dies, right? Then we don't have to pay for chemo or for a transplant - and the insurance co. board doesn't really give a shit what the insured contract says.<br />

<b>An Open Letter On Health Care</b><br />

There are thousands of stories out there, of the insurance industry engaging in a pattern of denial and delay when it comes to medical services. Hey, it's cheaper if the patient dies, right? Then we don't have to pay for chemo or for a transplant - and the insurance co. board doesn't really give a shit what the insured contract says.<br />
<br />
Just like hurricane insurance - 'we'll insure for wind or water, but not both and we'll leave the details in very fine print - and regardless of which way they are covered, their damage is not.'<br />
<br />
<b>THE INSURANCE COMPANY BOARD ROOM IS A DEATH PANEL</b><br />
<br />
What is really interesting is the number of people who simply don't get it. We all are well aware the health care system is broken. Yet the voices of fear coupled with disinformation are rampant, and people are angry. Very angry. Which leads me to the question: How did it get like this?<br />
<br />
Take Sara Palin's statement that we will coerce the elderly into some sort of <b>early life termination.</b> Could such a claim gain traction were we not engaged in some form of wide spread coercion? If we, as a nation, were not engaged in some wide spread form of denial and deception, could such a claim gain any traction among the population at all?<br />
<br />
Is it not true to say, <b>We Can Manufacture Consent For Just About Anything Today?</b><br />
<br />
I've seen online advertisements for republican groups organizing around the basic principles of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, where the following peculiar phrase appears:<br />
<br />
<b>The Right To Life, Liberty, and Property</b>.<br />
<br />
To me that seems to suggest that if you do not own property, you have no rights. That isn't what the Constitution or the Declaration actually say.<br />
<br />
It is my opinion that we have indeed engaged in widespread deceit and deception, and that television programming like Big Brother is little more than the sale of a level of dishonesty that is difficult to comprehend. I further believe that this leads to justification of ever more dishonesty, ever more deceit, and that much of it begins with what I have heard termed the Surviellance Industrial Complex. Because we have not been honest about the depth and breadth of all that has been done in our name, this dishonest discourse has expanded to include every topic of national debate from global warming to health care to regulation of the banking industry and on and on ad infititum.<br />
<br />
It is my opinion that this dishonesty serves very few, a very select few indeed; and that they generally lean toward the right.<br />
<br />
Given that health care is the current issue, I would propose a solution, framed in the context of that debate.<br />
<br />
I propose the identification of the most egregious of those insurers who do, with regular indifference, deny their contractural obligations to their policy holders, which may and do result in death. I then suggest killing the entire board of directors in charge of said insurer, for no other reason than to drive home the point that not only is the health care system broken, but that those who have benefited from breaking it must pay.<br />
<br />
This is only a proposal, reprehenisble at best. And yet, it seems to be past time to bring some honesty to the table of our discourse, and that it seems cannot happen while those who benefit most from the mass of lies and deceptions feel themselves beyond the reach of the people's rage.<br />
<br />
Congress must focus with care and deliberation on this issue, if they are to arrive at the best possible solution for all Americans. This seems highly unlikely while the moneyied lobby rails with obsinate and vociferous insistence <b>Do Nothing</b>, and manipulates the people's rage to make it so.<br />
<br />
Most sincerely and respectfullly yours,<br />
