"If you can't laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at???"

Nurture it, feed it, water it, and stay on the job.
My friend gave me this plant.  Or maybe I took it because it needed me so badly.
Or maybe he just thought he was throwing it out with the garbage.
I don't really know because, to take care of something, you have to stay on the job.
He didn't!
I don't always jump in and save the weak and the weary.  But this guy really meant something to me.
So I'm going to make his silly plant grow like somebody cared if it lived or died.
Stay posted and I'll include a new photo of it in about a month.
This is about a months worth of my care in this photo.  Maybe it has five new leaves.  Maybe three.
If I can't follow thru with my word then I'll let you know when the plant funeral will be.
LOL!!!
Enjoy!!!

No Fault Divorce Laws in the 1970's

The adoption of no-fault divorce laws by the other states

By 1977 nine states had adopted no-fault divorce laws and by late 1983, every state but South Dakota and New York had adopted some form of no-fault divorce (although some forms were not as easy to obtain as that in California). South Dakota was previously the last state to adopt no-fault divorce in 1985.[16] Until August 2010, New York still lacked a unilateral "no-fault" divorce statute; under New York divorce law only if both parties notarize a separation agreement and live separately for one year, could a judge convert it into a divorce.

In August 2000, Attorney Ed Truncellito filed suit against the State Bar of Texas, alleging the no-fault law in Texas was misapplied because he asserts that the legislative history of no-fault divorce law in Texas makes it clear that the law was meant for uncontested cases only.
As of October 2010, all states and the District of Columbia allow no-fault divorce. No-fault divorce is available in New York as of October 15th, 2010.

What I've found to be true is that the children suffer seperation 
anxiety, a loss so severe that they never recooperate from.  And
have difficulty being able to have there own fulfilled loving family 
unit.  It happened to me twice.    Take it from me - 
Everybody looses!!!

"Rain Lillies"

Just a little tid bit.
Rain lillies only bloom when it rains. That's due to the changing 
of the barimetric pressure.
Surprise! Surprise!
It took me forever to figure that one out.

Enjoy!

From "50 Ways to Make The World A Better Place"

     "50 ways to make the world a better place"
     My Momma dog out in Nacodoches Texas nursed 5 baby coons that the kids robbed from a fallen tree.
I told them to stay away from those coons but they wouldn't listen.   Boys will be boys.  That's what they say and that is what's true.  That poor Momma dog had just that day stopped nursing her 5 babies.  She was not a happy camper.  And it changed my life a bit as well.  For the next 6 weeks that is.
     We raised 5 happy coons.  After they were thru being weaned from Momma Dog, each of the boys took the one they had claimed for there own.  They all went off in different directions and our "Samantha" Stayed home with us.
     What a pleasure she was.  The stories are endless.  Eventually she went off on her own never to be seen again.  Thats's a good thing.
The truth of the Matter is!!!!!
The Law in Indian River County, Florida clearly allowes people to kill racoons.
There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to prevent it.
Twenty- Two years ago, I read this great little book that told me how to 
make the world
a better place.  "50 ways to make our world a better place"
I went to work on that one right away!
Yes! why didnt I think about that?
 A back yard habitat!!  What a great idea.
For 22 years, two of my neighbors have been killing my coons.  And probably anything 
 else they could catch in their game trap.
My neighbor told me the other day that I could stop worrying about him killing the coons.
 He said he had killed them all.
Well,  I'm sad but he was legal.
So much for 50 ways to make the world a better place.

and
The wisdom to know the difference.

"Elephants - To Kill or not to Kill"



After quite a bit of wishy-washy research. I'll get right down to the real nitty gritty of what I was able to find.
Of course it's against the law to kill an elephant!!!
As a matter of fact, Elephants are on the "Red List" of endangered species.
However, if you really want to kill an elephant, I'm sure that if your name is Bob Parson or some other big wig like that, you could get a permit to do so.
That's my answer. It's against the law to kill an elephant!
