The famous poem by Robert Frost taught me so much about acceptance of my life and of other people's lives I've come to know.
And with the idea of this poem.Where is the road that our country will take?
Which path will our elected officials bring us to for a better future?
At what hour will our citizens take responsibility and do the right thing, vote with the future of this country , the path it will take, rather than the need of the one voter. Will our country become what we once wrote " E pluribus unum?"- (Seen on our original money that was backed up by silver.)
"Originally suggesting that out of many colonies or states emerge a single nation, it has come to suggest that out of many peoples, races, religions and ancestries has emerged a single people and nation – illustrating the concept of the melting pot."

At the present our nation is not one For the past several years there has been the "us and them" mentality in Washington DC. Someone has to stand forward and say that the good of the country is what we need. We must find a way to become one. To find common ground, and stand together. Right now, we are in a recession, unemployment, foreclosures. We must find common ways to co-exist. To strengthen this country. So others don't doubt our integrity.
"E pluribus unum" - we must find the path Rober Frost was so upbeat about " Two roads diverge in a yellow wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
And will we make the positive difference for the good of mankind and our environment,which equals good health too?

Ast the present our nation is not one. We must find a way to become one. To find common ground, and stand together. Right now, we are a nation divided, and in a recession, unemployment, foreclosures. We must find common ways to co-exist. To strengthen this country. So others don't doubt our integrity.

I would give back the habitats to the animals (polar bears, bats, whales etc) whose homes have been compromised by mankind's thirst for power and energy.

No. No.

Every saturday, hubby and I go to a little place called "lydia's"- It's on the verge of going out of business, but you'd never know it. everyone knows everyone there. The store owners have watched my kids and I their kids , grow up. It's such a hole in the wall place, but I love funk. Great eggs and good coffee. Who could ask for anything more on a saturday morning?

I've read with great interest, a lot of posts here. It is so sad, how people are taken hold by addictions.
I watched for 7 painful years as my daughter struggled with an eating disorder, an addiction to food, which almost killed her. When we went to a hospital for treatment, another patient there that was 75 lbs. and didn't make it. Her mother's plea for help, I will never forget. A mother crying out for her child to understand what had taken over the young woman's body. And ultimately took life from it. Addiction comes from a need that is not met somehow. I wish this painful part of life could be solved. Thanks be to all those who've endured and have helped someone come through it or has come through it themselves.

I dress up every Halloween as Frodo Baggins.

My husband , my confidant, helps me always.

To be happy with what they do in their lives and to be healthy. Without those two things, life is a struggle.

I don't know. There are so many!

I will most likely go to an ocean. The sea calls to me and I go.

I was living in LI around 1985. Hurricane Gloria came in and hit our area the hardest. We were without electricity for almost a week. The devastation was enormous. I went out during the storm and watched 70 to 80 foot trees bend and break like toothpicks. I went down a street to view the bay and see what the waves looked like. From the time I went down to the bay and didn't make it because a tree was in the middle of the road, to the time I turned around ( not 5 minutes) I went back up the street to go home, I was stuck! The trees snapped in front of me and came down across the street and on roofs of houses! I was lucky to be alive and get home safely. I managed to find another route to get home. I went through main street of our town and all the lights were out(traffic) and the only vehicles that were on the street were emergency vehicles and me. It was total wind and rain. OMG. I will never forget that experience. We had to depend on each other, our neighbors. All the food was spoiled (this was when it was hot) no toilets, no phones, no food in the stores. Ice was the hottest commodity along with water.

We have a State Legislature that should be FIRED! Why aren't people in the streets DEMANDING the resignation of these culprits we call our elected officials. What f......ing egos these guys have!. OMG. Why, if any of us decided to take a month, show up for 5 minutes each day, refuse to work, leave and show up again doing this the next day AND GET A SALARY FOR IT, we would be FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!! Well ?????? IT IS TIME TO FIRE THESE PEOPLE. They don't represent anything but their egos. I can't believe that no one is urging the our governor to fire the whole bunch of them and have a new election.WTF!! Why , Oh Why, has nothing been done! This is the biggest rip off of the New York Taxpayers. Because they haven't deemed to do any work, a lot of parts of government have to wait and wait for funds that they need to ok.... Man oh man what a horrible bunch of egotists. GET RID OF THEM! Is there anything in the NYS constitution that can be used to fire these so called elected "officials?" I can't believe there is nothing being done. I'm outraged and disgusted with our government in NY. SO TOTALLY UNJUSTIFIED. Government by themselves and for themselves and the "people" be damned.
