I am getting so sick of hearing about these politicians and their "affairs." John Edwards has become the lowest of the low in my books right now.. I am Canadian but we get so much darn press from the US and it just goes on and on and on.. I have such a low opinion of this man now and I used to like him. His words about his wife with her cancer and remission etc.. and the fact that he is still seeing this woman.(the mistress) An interview with the mistress's sister proved t hat!!!
THE LOWEST OF THE LOW!!!!

I agree Sun,
I am getting tired also of these so called Politicians going around having affairs.
At first, I didn't believe it. I never buy " The Enquirer." -------but I used to , and I was sick of their lies.
This one surprised me. They told the truth this time. Edwards can't sue the Enquirer, cause he admitted it finally. At first, he denied it, but guess he changed his mind.
I think "The Enquirer." should sue him for lying about it at first. I never thought I would say that. To sue " The Enquirer." (ha)
I never really liked him. He gave me the impression, that he thought he was soooo cute. He kind of was though, but not anymore. Not after doing this to his Wife.
Talk again soon
Hugs
Dee

Hey Dee and Sun
I worked at a court for 26 years and my father was an attorney.
He became a judge just prior to his passing. He told us the higher up you our on the political ladder the more corrupt you become. But that was my dad. He always said that when he retired, he was going to write a book about all the corruption and wrong doings among political figures.
I am sad and sorry he never had the chance. He had a bad heart and his first attack at 35. He went in for a by-pass at the age of 40. It lasted 15 years or so. He was having a lot of problems with his health, mostly his heart. He went to Cleveland Clinic where they did his by-pass an told him he either needed a new heart or to go home and wait to die. He chose to do the latter. It is double edge sword. I sometimes feel angry that he didn't stay with us fight. But then I think it is selfish of me to to be angry that he was just so tired and broken that he wanted to go. I still and will always love him no matter what. He's my Dad.

Hi GIGI,
How sad, for your Dad dying so young.
Like you said, that is what he wanted.
I Just lost my Daughter In Law to Cancer. She was only 47.
She suffered for two years, and then there was nothing more they could do. The Doctors told her, they could use the feeding tube, or pull the plug. She said to pull the plug. Patty was only 47. She was tired of suffering.
Her Daughter, and Patty's Husband, and Patty's sister held her hand, as she passed away in only 18 minutes, after they pulled the plug.
Well, your Dad sure knew all about the politicians. A lawyer, and then a Judge. WOW!
I know how we love our Parents. At least mine lived to be 87 years old. for that, I am thankful
Take care
Dee

MY dad died young too. He was only 50 . I was nine years old when he left us and my brother only three.. It was a sad and trying time especially for my mom with three kids to care for and a farm to run.. My sister was 11. She tried to be "grown up" for my mom.. I was so proud of my mom for all she accomplished in life until her death at age 81..
Things that happen in life sometimes make us stronger persons.. We have to strive for the future and not dwell in the past.. For each thing we learn from the past molds our future. it is OUR decision.. The tragic death of my brother in 1997 still haunts me .. but I feel him in my heart as with my mom... I am sorry to talk so sad but life hands us these things sometimes .. .. I truly beleive we are responsible for our own destiny.. but that is just me... I love life and I love people.. That's it!!!
AND ERIC ROBERTS ROCKS!!!

To GIGI, Dee and Sun
I'm sorry you lost family when they were young. Know this that you will see them again.
GIGI, You were not selfish in wanting your father to stay but you shouldn't be angry at your father for just wanting to go Home...... He was porbably tired of all the prodding and poking.
Dee, have Faith that your daughter in law will no longer be in the pain that she was. It does hurt when we lose a child because we don't expect to outlive our children. But she would want you to be happy.
Sun you said that things happen in life sometimes make us stronger - Yes, I strongly believe they do. Sometimes a life -altering event make us change our paths into a whole different ball-game. It doesn't even have to be an outside change - it may just be a personal change inside oneself.
Things happened to me in the last 3 yrs or so and I could've gone into some severe depression because of certain family members - I was shown what they truly were but I came out stronger and fighting fit .
The best thing I ever got in my life was from a complete stranger thanking me for caring and for my work and wishing me joy. That was a very personal life - altering event. It made me feel so blessed. And it made me strong enough to survive what happened next . Those I had trusted all my life insulted and totally betrayed me. ......So Sun saying things happen in life makes us stronger is definately true.
Now I would just say to any problem - " Bring it on "
----------------------------------------
Back to the original subject of Politicians - Can't stand them. I've been watching Pakistan events - The country is in a complete crisis. The elections were held well over 6 months ago and the political parties are still argueing. Meanwhile Joe Bloggs is finding it hard to make a living and pay the bills - The country is in a total shambles. Food prices are sky high. I just wish I could bang their heads together. They were united to get Musharraf out but once he went it was back to being enemies. It really is a total mess.
I live in the UK and yeah our politicians have their faults but nothing like compared to other countries.

Thank you so much for your wonderful post Yasmin. it means a lot.. As John Lennon put it .." Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans" (something like that).. so true isn't it?/ So thank you again for your kind words. I am sure there are many who can relate to this..  |
