OK....do a Google search on National CASA and you will find out EXACTLY what I am I am a child advocate I am a child abuser's worse nightmare (though they don't know it from the start) I am 100% for the best interest of the child involved Most judges spend a total of 2 minutes reviewing each "child case" I am here to see that they do more....much more..... See what you can do in your state, county, municipality.... These kids NEED US.....if we have time to be on a website.....we have TIME to donate to this Please listen to me. This is a DIRE need. Any questions....email me Love to all Dana

Can we do a new thread entitled "STAMP OUT PERVS PERIOD"""?? Do a Google search for CASA Natonal. Stands for "Court Appointed Special Advocate" That's what I am I fight against this ilk every day It takes training folks....fund raising....HELL raising. You name it. But I will give up on this cause when I aM COLD AND IN THE GRAVE. This whole thing just ....es me off....royally

To POND!!! OMG I took Paxil and it turned me into a mess....please forward all this to my hubby. It took me a month to get over Paxills "Pax-ills" meaning you are too sick to even want to die. Effexor is doing me the same way now. I was SOOOOO Much better before this so called "TREATMENT" Geeze....it was better when a 'little anxiety' was my cheif complaint!! I'm very grateful for your post, dear friend. Much love and many blessings to you!!! Dana

Dearest Johny Lingo I am so sad to see the "system" fail so badly once again It failed on me, too I honestly cry when I read things like this....that is w I do my volunteer work Look up National CASA online I'm a local volunteer. And I swear upn oath I will keep these kids away from these "preds" as much as I can!! This poor girl you mention will NOT feel Vindicated...an important part of the healing process. I never had that either. BUT I became a woman that is "dead set" on geting kids OUT of these situations!!!! Much Love to you Johnny....and a big HUG

WOW I feel if most folks could just experience PEACE.... The "Gift" of Tongues places such a high expectation on some of us....make me wanna run crying to my momma....to be honest. I think so few ministries focus on PEACE and LOVE. And MORE on the 'other things' Just a thought from me

Once again T BONE your sense of humor has my sides hurting I think a sense of humor is one of the greatest gifts....as my hubby oilfieldmedic can tell you....on my darkest days, I try to not lose my sense of humor!!!

Bowtwi! Greetings from Alabama! Yup...that' a great idea for a sign, too. As a former "beach bum"....i'ts one thing to pee in the big ocean.....a pool is a whole different story/ I think all swimmers should take an ettiquite class LOL

Raf....I'm praying for all you Florida folks....I know how it is. Medic and I were living in Gulf Shores, AL when big ol' nasty Ivan hit 9/16/04 It's a day forever etched in my memory. 2004 and 2005 were horrible seasons.

Thanks Coolchef and Act2!!! Evergreen was where I went to evacuate from Hurricane Ivan while we were living in Gulf Shores....my litttle crappy hotel room I rented for a couple days got destroyed with ME in it!!! I cannot say I have fond memories of my brief stay in Evergreen LOL But, our little town is about the size of Evergreen, I think. Population, 10,000...roughly. Nice to meet you both and everyone here has been so nice!

Sudo...I always liked that little saying Years ago hubby and I had a pool, and all the neighbor kids would come and swim, of course.... I wanted to hang a sign that said "We don't swim in your toilet...so please do not pee in our pool"

T-Bone,you are hilarious! LOL I LOVE that picture! I may have it blow up and framed and hang it here at home lest anyone forget how powerful the stare can be

Ya know what a HUGE partothe trouble is?? Folks CARING TOO MUCH about that the OTHER ONE thinks I say ....fuggabunchathat Do what works for YOU!! PERIOD! Dadgummit....YOU are the one living with the nightmare of the illness....STOP tyng to please all others!! And I say this with much much love. I truly do

I'm gonna be hated for ths I know....BUt speak out against a moral topic (or for) and be willing to take up the slack. If I were not willing to adopt an unborn child....(which I am)...I would not think I had the right to be so vocal about the issue. I just cannot imagine getting pregnant so easliy....took me forever to have 2 kids. BUT...I'm willing to take one of the hands of an unsure mom...given the chance. Therefore, I am opposed to abortion in MOST cases. Like I said before....be willing to HELP the cause before you fight it.

Shellon was supremely kind and sweet to me my first time in chat!!! It's funny....I almost avoid chat unless she's there! Anyway...that tells me a BUNCH abouth heart in general. Much Love and many blessings to you, Shellon!! Dana

Johnny Lingo...you are So correct...a bullet would do him better than he deserves. What truly troubles me is how these Boulder CO bottched the case so badly. What troubles me more is the fact that Jon Benet is forever silenced. If you cannot tell already, I a a victim of a crime. Jon Benet must have been the bravest little girl....and I think she is someone's personal angel as we speak.

As a former "show kid" myself...this case has always haunted me. There are ALWAYS the PREDS out there. But I truly do not Think Patsy EVER had a thing to do with it. Why did SHE come under the gun and not the dad nor the brother???? Ususally a mom involved with a talented kid might live a little 'vicariously" through that child....she would NEVER kill her....I don't think I was so hoping for vindication of Patsy. Why Have they not looked closer at that MALE realtives???? I think the police in CO have bothchered this case BEYOND solving

Johhny Lingo and Waysider...thanks :) Yup...without the big L-O-V-E involved...church is just another bunch of people looking for a building or a pastor or whatever to solve everything for them. I currently work hard in my ministry I am involved with ...and half the time I walk away shaking my head. BUT....I have to think perhaps that is why I am there. Most of these people do these "works" without Christ in mind...but yet what "Will SOMEONE THINK IF IDON'T" I say screw it. If the Lord needs you and wants you to do it....your gonna find the resources and the strength somewhere. Otherwise....gracefully decline. It's tough in the Deep South where we housewives are EXPECTED to pick up ALL the slack. But If I ain't got love in my heart when I am doing it.....what good is it to Jesus? I'm learning to say no some...and I am feeling through my way when it is right to say yes. I think this church venture has been an exceptional learning experience for me....even though it has almost drove me off the deep end a couple times. But....I do so love all the members...and that love grows each day! Love is what it is all about. That's why I think we need fellowship. Be it church or a home study. If love prevails....everything else will be "gravy" God Bless you guys!!!

I can get pretty angered by these "prosperity" ministers. They often pray on the aged and the mentally challenged. It's a true travesty in this country. You can see it on TV all the time. They even have 'infomercial" type broadcasts that are specifically aired to reach the hopless, the aged and the disabled. One night I was in "rare form" and called the cabl network broadcasting this garbage and told them they should be ashamed. They STILL tried to get $$$ out of me!!!! This is one of the adversary's ways of proseliting folks that just really want a connection wth Our Lord and Savior. It's an outrage!

As a child advocate...I am always happy to hear when a perpetrator (or PERP, as we call them) are aprehended. Even if it is a young adult that is being abused....they need folks on their side. Too often law enforcement just does not come up to the task. It is so hard to speak out (for the victims) The mind control games the perps play on them are horrendous. I'm very pleased to see the strong arm of th law worked on this one. Ciao Dana

A message to all guys out there. When you live with a woman...we think it is AWESOME that you remember to raise the seat of the toilet to begin with. But one more gentle reminder to all...please put it back down. Smokey is not home very often and forgets this very important issue. I cannot tell you how many "suprise bidets" I have had in the middle of the night. One time I thought I was going to have to call a rescue squad to pull me out of the toilet. I kinda fell in. I thought this might be of help to the guys that are on the road a lot and only home long enough to create the disturbance in the lady's life. When Smokey is gone...well, it' s just us girls here now. So we are used to having that seat down. All joking aside....I would put up with numerous suprise dunks to have him back home right now

You are doggone right it is a conspiracy,Dahlin' Once they outlawed us women using our rolling pins and cast iron skillets to inflict bodily harm on unruly family members....we were all given this special "gift". Some of us can just use the gift better than others. I have thought about doing seminars on it. Ya know I luv ya more than chocolate, babe

Whoa...what a tough subject. As a mom that had to undergo treaments and surgeries to have my kids, well...I can tell you what my "gut reaction" is....but as far as saying it is murder, etc...I cannot. But....if any of you know of a lady that is considering abortion and would be willimg to contact me regarding me adopting that child...please do so. I feel if one is going to be very outspoken against something, they need to be willing to pick up the slack.

I personally find tht if you live in a very small town (like me) that church can be one of your VERY FEW social outlets. I live in a place that is likened to Mayberry RFD...except with a few more cops. But we all know how we worship the Lord is in how we treat his greatest commandment. To love Him with all our heart mind and soul....and the big #2....to love one another like that. Most of us have a hard enough time dealing with those tall orders

The Mommy stare works on kids under the age of 12 and grown men that knew they should have listened to their wives before burning half the house down with bottle rockets :) Trouble is NOTHING works on the kids now....as they are older....and the dogs, they know I'm a pushover. Same goes for old Smokey....ahhhh, the good ole days when all it took was a stare.

Wow! I know how you feel....and now I deal with a college age son who manages to oversleep for a 6:30 PM class. Enjoy these sweet wonderful years. Our daughter is 13 now....and every time Medic comes home on R&R he is nuts over her new "maturity" Makeup....boyfriends...the whole deal. Man...somedays it makes me want to adopt a little one :) My heart goes out to you...it is so heart-wrenching to watch them grow up and go through the stages and ages. I don't think I will ever forget the first time I put my little girl on that school bus. I went back in the house and just cried. Blessings!!! Dana
