> Red Shirt
>
> If the red shirt thing is new to you, read below how it went for a man...
>
> Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but did not put two and two together .
>
> After we boarded our flight, I turned to the sergeant, who'd been invited to sit in First Class (across from me), and inquired if he was heading home.
>
> No, he responded.
>
> Heading out I asked?
>
> No. I'm escorting a soldier home.
>
> Going to pick him up?
>
> No. He is with me right now. He was killed in Iraq , I'm taking him home to his family.
>
> The realization of what he had been asked to do hit me like a punch to the gut. It was an honor for him. He told me that, although he didn't know the soldier, he had delivered the news of his passing to the soldier's family and felt as if he knew them after many conversations in so few days.
>
> I turned back to him, extended my hand, and said, Thank you. Thank you for doing what you do so my family and I can do what w e do.
>
> Upon landing in Chicago the pilot stopped short of the gate and made the following announcement over the intercom.
>
> 'Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to note that we have had the honor of having Sergeant Steeley of the United States Marine Corps join us on this flight. He is escorting a fallen comrade back home to his family. I ask that you please remain in your seats when we open the forward door to allow Sergeant Steeley to deplane and receive his fellow soldier. We will then turn off the seat belt sign.'
>
> Without a sound, all went as requested. I noticed the sergeant saluting the casket as it was brought off the plane, and his action made me realize that I am proud to be an American.
>
> So here's a public Thank You to our military Men and Women for what you do so we can live the way we do.
>
> Red Fridays.
>
> Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority.' We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or overbearing.
>
> Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -- and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that ... every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar, will wear something red.
>
> By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States o n every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acqua intances, coworkers, friends, and family, it will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let ou r troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on.
>
> The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is. 'We need your support and your prayers.' Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example, and wear something red every Friday.
>
> IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON.
> IF YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS -- THEN HIT THE delete button

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little ,
'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.'
The little girl said,
'No, Dad. You hold my hand.'
'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father.
'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl.
'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go.But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens,you will never let my hand go.'
In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.
So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours...

People Come in your Life for a Reason

People come into your life for a REASON, a SEASON or a LIFETIME. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season . LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

When you Feel Alone

When you are feeling alone like no one cares, read this cuz its absolutely true: Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep. At least fifteen people in this world love you. The only reason someone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. There are at least two people in this world that would die for you. You mean the world to someone. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look. Always remember the compliments you've received. Forget the rude remarks. So if you are a loving person, send this to everyone on your list including the person the person who sent it too you.

I need someone who will never hurt me
I need someone who cares
Someone who will forever be
The someone who's always there
I need someone who will hold me tight
And say it'll be alright
Someone who will never let me down
During the day or the night
I need someone who says it's okay to cry
Someone who will never say goodbye
Someone who really needs space
Someone who really cares to be my real friend.

An old man lwanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His o要ly , who used to help him was in prison. He wrote a letter to his described his predicament
Dear ,
I'm feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I am just getting too old to be digging up garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me
A few days later, he received a letter from his
Dear Dad,
For heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the BODIES.
The next morning, F.B.I. agents & local police showed up, dug up the entire area without finding any bodies.
They apologized the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his .
Dear Dad,
Go ahead, plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
The morale is TO WORK SMART NOT HARD. Use your brain; in
the perceived impossible sometimes it can make the impossible

What is when you write your profile is that some people do not read them. You post things in them and you ask that they do not do cerains things in there but yet when you get the e-mail there it is. I know from experience that I have posted certain things on my profile and ask that certain be done but yet when I get that e-mail there it is. For instance I ask for a picture but yet I do not get one and another is that I say prefer to stay within my race but I still get e-mails without my race. It not that I am a racist it is just my preference to date like that. I know some guy do not understand that and that is why I am addressing the issue. Some of my best friends are black. The other thing in my profile is that I ask you send a face picture. I know this is a swinger site but I just think it is a little more classy if you send a face picture and that way if you decide to meet that person at least you know what he look like. I am sure he is not going to meet you in the nude. I know a lot of the guys are upset because I do not have my face on there but I have a very good reason for that and I will be more than happy to explain why it is not on there. Well can some one help me out with this and tell me if I am wrong with what I have written about profiles..

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.

Why Does Senior Sizzle Banned So Many People from Chat Rooms
|

I was in the Carolina chat room the other night chatting when someone came in and said one of my friends got banned and I said now say she was just her and they said no Senior Sizzle banned her. I said she did not do anything. I guess some people can just say anything and it ok maybe somebody from Senior Sizzle should come in there and stay nd just listen to some of the talk other people say about other people and then consider banning them. You know some of us pay for being on the site and we pay big bucks to be on the site. So Senior Sizzle you should take a look at some of the people that do not pay for the site and consider what they say in the room and about other people and ban them forever before you start banning people who help pay your bills. I know one lady that comes in the room and she said she called you I do not know how many times one day about another lady in the room and you never did anything about it and yet someone else comes in the room and does nothing and you ban them what up with you Senior Sizzle. The lady that called Senior Sizzle said the lady called her all kinds of names and even use her real name and other people called Senior Sizzle about her and still let her stay in the room and di nothing about it. If we wanted people to know who we were we would not use handle in handle on the site so you know if you have a good compliant about someone on the site about and you call Senior Sizzle they should do something about it. You know we go into the chat room to have fun and make new friends but some people make it immpossible for that to happen and if you say just one thing wrong and I do not know what that thing might be in Senior Sizzle eyes you get banned. I think Senior Sizzle should at least tell someone what they have banned them for because I was telling a lady in the room about the blog I was going to post this blog and she said she got banned for three days and Senior Sizzle would not tell her what they banned her for soo Senior Sizzle maybe you should have the curoisity to tell us what we did wrong. I would like someone else opinion on this please.

At a husband shop (wish it's really exist)
There's a new husband shop that just opened..
A place where women can choose their own husbands.
At the entrance there's an instruction of how this shop works.
You can enter this shop only one time.
There're 6 floors and the values of products will be added on each floor.
You can choose any product on any floor.
Or you can go to the next floor but you can't go back down.
except you go out of the shop!
There's a girl, she goes to this shop to find a husband.
1st fl: these men has a job
2nd fl: these men has a job and love
3rd fl: these men has a job, love and extraordinary good looking
4th fl: these men has a job, love , extraordinary good looking and do
house chores.
Girl says, I can't stand it any more but she still keep going.
5th fl: these men has a job, love , extraordinary good looking,do
house chores and super romantic.
She still keep going to 6th floor which there's no man at all.
This floor was built to prove that & nbsp;girl will never get enough of
what she wants.Thanks for coming to our shop.
To make it fair, the owner opened another shop across the street called, A
wife shop.
1st fl: wife that love to have sex
2nd: wife that love to have sex and has money
3rd-6th nobody ever made it to these floors....
all of them stop at the fist two floor already
Hehehehe...Don't take it serious, just a joke, my friends!!!
