Paulett,
I got those shells today.
They are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Especially the coral colored one.
The little sand dollars? you are artist!
My husband tried to take them from me.
I`m setting them with my favorite plants.
Thanks so much
Love Carol

Subject: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] dear hippee


Hippee.... just thought I would put this out there for the
masses.....(hopefully I won't get any private hate email or flames..but oh
well)........and I am saying this from personal experience and from
experience of some close to me and other friends that have gone thru the
same.... First and foremost you, you hippee, must be a good
example......a great example......you must lead the way. You're the dad and
the husband and all look to you for guidance..... being of good morals, a
righteous man. I do not believe in the "do as I say, not as I do"
scenario.
It does not work. If you smoke and drink and use swears.....why would your
children do otherwise?? (just an example, not an accusation).... If you
attitude is negative that too rubs off on everyone else in the family......
a
bad attitude is infectious.....just as is a good one. Take control...tell
the fam you're all going to church...."we're ALL going".... then y'all get
up
and go, as a family. Drag them kicking and screaming if you must. As far
as being disabled.......there are other people on this list that are also
disabled....that does not keep anyone from doing the right thing...or the
wrong thing....it just at times makes it more difficult to do what has to be
done. I don't get what the goverment or politics has to do with
anything...... so far as I know we still have freedom of speech, freedom to
read what we like and freedom to worship whichever god we choose and in
whatever way we choose. School teachers are not allowed to whoop our
children
(which I never agreed with anyway)....and so what. And parents too easily
let a whipping get out of control.....one whap turns into full blown abuse.
My son pulled the "I'm calling the cops on you, mom!!" He did. A report
was
made. The authorities investigated....and found out he was just being a
brat
..... end of story. Happens all the time. The system does often work in
the
right direction. You have a blended family.... don't see what that has to
do with the story.....kids are kids no matter what color. I see many
blended families.... especially at church..... no one knows the
circumstances. Could be a thousand different reasons. Maybe a problem only
in your mind....don't know. You're certainly in a spot...and I would
think being depressed comes with the gig. Maybe some professional help
would
be in order. I surely do feel awful for you and your wife....but
especially
for the kids. I will remember you all in my prayers. You can become a
righteous man.....when you do, I truly believe this will all turn
around............all things are possible thru God.

may God bless, prayerfully.... paulette
