Beware....
Looks like another wave of phishing bots has hit Eon's fair shores.
Be very suspicious of any very much younger person contacting you to be 'friends', and asking for your IM contact information or email address so they can send you pictures.
Much as I hate to suggest this, it is probably not your wonderful hotness that is attracting this bedazzled young person, but your pocketbook. And it is probably not a real 'person', but a computer program.
A phishing bot is a computer program set up to troll social networking sites and act like a real person, sets up a profile page, and then starts making contacts. This program wants access to your computer so it can dig out your personal information like bank account numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, etc. for means of identify theft.
There also seems to be another version in the guise of a 70-year old woman wanting to be friends and asking for your telephone number so you two can talk in person.
If you encounter such a person or believe you are being "phished" please PM me and I'll report it to the powers that be....

One Nation Under
Ok, i was in a debate with other gays and lesbians, we were discussing the people running for President and Vice president their opinions.
One Lesbian said after the comment about Sarah Palin view on "One Man One Woman", "Marriage is one man and one woman".
She went on to say that she supports Palin because she accept civil unions for the G&L community.
My turn to speak and i said if we as Americans and because we are lesbians and gays, take less than Marriage, it is no better than offering us the bone, whereas our straight Americans get the meat with the bone. No different than say to minority American people that because they are an minority can have civil unions, but because they are not just "WASP Americans" deserve no better. Am I the only one that sees this is a blatant slap in the face. If we go for less, how in the world can we later ask that we be considered that we really meant marriage. Is it not better that we ask for the same rights others take for granted, its not special rights, wanting to keep our jobs, qualify for homes, hate crimes legislation. Here are a few things Sarah Palin believes:
Vetoed bill denying benefits to gays, as unconstitutional. (Aug 2008)
Marriage only be between and man and a woman. (Nov 2006)
Value our cultural diversity. (Nov 2006)
Ok to deny benefits to homosexual couples. (Aug 2006)
No spousal benefits for same-sex couples. (Jul 2006)
Top priorities include preserving definition of "marriage". (Jul 2006)
When does it remain that all we have ever asked for, was just to want what our straight Americans Have. Freedom

Can this be happening?
I have a friend of mine that had a commitment ceremony in their church, 8 years ago, after all that they split up, no divorce, no messy courtroom antics. They just walked away.
I believe in marriage, marriage should be forever, at least what we promised to in our vows, thru thick and thin, rich or poor, sickness and health. This is why i waited so long to get married. My younger days were filled with spontaneous relationships, many happy and sad breakups.
But I know i wasn't ready to give my heart forever. Dont you think, when a couple is committed or married, just walking out isn't an option? Are people not taking seriously the words they spoke before God among their families and friends? Many couples find it easier to not to work things out.
So why bother with a ceremony if the couples are not in it for the long haul why even bother?

Were On the Down Slide of Summer
So how has everything been? This time of year, we look forward to Labor Day, a few days off to rest up before our gardens return to what they were before spring. And the looking forward to the leaves to change color and give us the reds, gold's and yellows as only mother nature can. We have survived another summer, the BBQ's, the lawn care and most of all the heat. Those who live near the water, were gifted with the sunrises and sunsets as the waves hit the shoreline. We are still here, still growing and learning. We can look back and think it wasn't so bad. And wait for another 10 months, until it all begins again.

Sometimes it isn't easy Being
Some days i wonder why i became a parent, when other days glad your son/daughter turned out so well. Here is a scenario, My son is 33, when Jeanne and i went to see him last September he needed to borrow 1200.00 to pay his property taxes, Jeanne said "just give it to him" and we did, we also paid for every meal, the groceries. We were to go to see the sights, and was told "i don't know the city that well", so a friend of his drove us around. But after the money was given, we were treated by him and his latest g/f, like we weren't welcome. the day we were to leave, he and his g/f got up and got dressed, Jeanne and i were sitting in the living room, watching the news, here they come all dressed and told us they were going to breakfast, not once did they even ask if we wanted to go, but as he was the last one out, said, do you guys want to come? Shocked and angry at their rudeness. Here we had paid for everything, not once did they even offer to pay the tip. We were angry when he got back, Jeanne and i were packed and told them we were ready to go to the airport even though our plane didn't leave till 3pm. At least we found hanging out there a better place then staying one more moment with them. After that i didn't call often. When Jeanne and i were in Toronto, we purchased them each a T-shirt. I sent him an email to let him know to expect a box. We never got a thank you from him or her, no emails nothing. when i brought this up to him that at least his ex wife was nice enough to say thank you. He went off saying that they didn't like the shirts and in a nut shell, said if i felt that way about his g/f, i was uninvited to his wedding next spring. I emailed back and said fine we wont be there(Jeanne and i already discussed the wedding and she said she wasn't going after the antics last year). Then he said if we wanted to be like this, he doesn't have a mother, i emailed back and said fine, you have no mother. so that the end of that, do i feel bad, no, did it hurt my feelings, not anymore. I think at times our children take for granted and they think they deserve everything. I didn't raise him to be like he is, and i don't have to take what seem to me spoiled temper tantrums. Jeanne emailed him after she read the tirade, and said "that was the biggest bunch of horse sh*t, and "your mother is not the problem, you are", so has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Id love to hear how it turned out later.
