Better one now "Mother-in-law in Assisted Living"!!!! FREE. Actually over dinner DH announced he would like to take off at the end of July (instead of Sept 1,) returning end of October!! I shall have to work out what needs to be done on this end, but what the heck, we are only "young"ish once!! Gillian |

Dawne i agree with you that Watergate left many families with a great
feeling of having lost a ideologie ,,, The 20th century Has seen many crumbling ideological Tragedies. Some left a lot of Chaos and real Dammge in Lost lives and Material loss , and some left `only` people with a great pain in the herats and feeling they wasted some years of their lives working in the wrong direction. At the same time New ideologies rose [like Feminism Political correctness etc...] And Watergate was not without its own personal tragedies-- those loyal wives and families who had to stand by some fairly despicable men (not death, but a kind of personal hell), Yes they were in personal hell , but their kids saw them , knew them and they lived . We have known here many believers in Cumunism . socialism, so eager and believing that in 50s whole Kiboetziem , divivded into 2 ,, Families parted anfd divorced . Barbed wire in the middle of the Communal Dinning hall etc....People were Bitter, Angry , hurt, The Mental `fire` went away after some years, some Kieboetziem , reunited, Nobody seems to think about what happened than anymore , But those who lost Dear ones In any event , Do Remember , and their lives altered in a different manner. mirjam those genuine idealists (there used to be more than a few) who supported political parties because they believed, and got to see the dirty tricks their "heroes" used....

We currently have 3 Labs amongst our menagerie......but we call ours

"Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" l Dawne i agree with you that Watergate left many families with a great feeling of having lost a ideologie ,,, The 20th century Has seen many crumbling ideological Tragedies. Some left a lot of Chaos and real Dammge in Lost lives and Material loss , and some left `only` people with a great pain in the herats and feeling they wasted some years of their lives working in the wrong direction. True--not disagreeing with you at all. My only point was that an event that is a "political development" to those who follow politics or history can be personally devastating to those whose lives, through no fault of their own, are part of it. Being Richard Nixon's wife or daughters, or Bill Clinton's daughter for that matter, must have been terribly difficult at the time of their respective scandals, and in North America, the press gives such people little privacy to deal with their painful emotions. A disillusioned "true believer" is one thing--a child seeing that their father is not what he claimed and having their hurt splashed in colour across the papers suffers something different and more lasting. It is not the same as losing those you love. Nothing is. But it is the kind of individual suffering that is easy to forget, and even to play a part in by encouraging the kind of journalism that contributes to it. Dawne |

Dawne G. Gordon Liddy has been really open about how his jail time affected his family. He has a radio talk show in DC, and while I frequently don't agree with his ideologies, I find him very interesting to listen to. Unlike folks like Bill O'Reilly, he's willing to listen to callers with opposing views and talk to them intelligently. As opposed to Bill's method of shouting at them about how wrong they are, but never actually listening to what they say. It's sad that politics makes people sink so low, stealing, lying and such.

LOL MelissaD Do they have anything similar for Golden Retrievers? My two very blond, very male, idiot dogs took off for three hours yesterday, came back brown/black with mud. Hosed them off for 10 mins and they are still not as blond as they should be today. Caryn |

I don`t think it is politics that makes people sink so law as to steal
cheat etc.... it is a basic tendency+ life happenings opportunity , abilty ,, politics does nothing , it`s the people who use politics power or lust for the power that does it ... mirjam G.

LOL (chuckle) Among the various dogs we had when I was growing up (we had a lot of cats, too) was a Lab. Very sweet girl, but definitely not smart. When my father would take her duck hunting, someone had to sit on her in the boat or she'd retrieve the decoys. :-) -- "The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |
