Sarah? Fomenting Hate and Anger???
The past few days the Obama-messiah siccofant press has been trying to convince everyone that Sarah and John are stirring hate and anger among their supporters.
I will report that as for ME, I am angry at congressional Democrats, Obama included, for resisting efforts by McCain and Republicans to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
It has stirred my anger that I look at my 401k, and because of those Democratic bimbos it is down thousands of dollars!!!!!
People.....GET ANGRY...Vote for McCain!!!

How to adding your favorite image to a folder?
If you want to explore your folder in windows explorer's thumbnail view and make these folders are prominent then it is easier to distinguish using text name, for example you're download audio files or digital photos.
But if you want to add image to a folder to distinguish with others then you should choose that folder which you want to decorate.
First open Window Explorer and right click on the folder to display the folder menu. Now choose Properties option from the menu, here a new dialog windows will appear with title "Program Properties".
Select Customize tab and click on "Choose Picture" button to add favorite image./p>
The image which you want to use navigates to that image and then clicks "Open" to view a sample of the picture inside the folder icon. Click on Ok button, if you are satisfied from that image .If you are not satisfied then choose another image.
Now at the end, go to View menu to display the folder in Explorer's thumbnail with image.

For Those of You...
who are whispering and PMing each other about "poor Hop" and the "red-headed gold-digger," I can't even tell you how badly that hurt to know there are people here who I thought were my dear friends and they were busy speculating that I was weighing my options to pick the man who could do the most for me.
You surely don't know me then, and you missed the boat on this one. It took me a long time to make this decision and it was NEVER based on money! I had feelings I had to sort out and when they got sorted, there was my answer.
All I can say to you nay-sayers is wait and see. Give us a chance to merge our two lives together.
I have considered leaving Most Wanted because I don't know who feels this way about me, and who is really my friend!
But it sure did hurt to know that anybody saw me in that light.

Old Age, I decided, is a gift!
Someone sent me this a while back, (of course I forgot who!)
Old Age, I decided, is a gift!
I am now, probably for the first time in my life, the person I have always wanted to be. Oh, not my body! I sometimes despair over my body, the wrinkles, the baggy eyes, and the sagging butt. And often I am taken aback by that old person that lives in my mirror (who looks like my father!), but I don't agonize over those things for long.
I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, my loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As I've aged, I've become more kind to myself, and less critical of myself. I've become my own friend.
I don't chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn't need, but looks so avante garde on my patio. I am entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be extravagant.
I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.
Whose business is it if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 AM and sleep until noon?
I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 60&70's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love... I will.
I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old.
I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And I eventually remember the important things.
Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us strength and understanding and compassion. A heart never broken is pristine and sterile and will never know the joy of being imperfect.
I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.
As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong once in a while.
So, I’ve decided that I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day. (If I feel like it)

Hello
Hi, they call me Pit Stop. I had a HD Sportster 883 for my first bike but I laid it down 3 times so I had my hubby sell it. Since I am gone a lot as a trucker, it was like a new experience every time. As long as I'm trucken I'll have to either wait or get a trike. Think'n of getting a trike then I can take my little guardian (mini Schnauzer) with me. I live in TX and we ride here in TX, up into OK and into AR. Beautiful country along the AR and OK border.
All be safe and happy bike'n

Forgive
Forgive
I am living in full awareness of God's love.
Complaining takes me down the path of a consciousness of lack and negativity. Choosing forgiveness takes me down the path to positive, affirmative experiences.
By inviting the love of God to guide me, I avoid the burden that comes from holding a grudge or making someone a scapegoat for something that has happened. In the awareness of God's love, I release the trivial upsets and events that might otherwise build day after day to huge proportions.
As I develop the practice of forgiveness, the tendency to complain naturally diminishes, and my world becomes brighter. Forgiveness becomes my normal way of relating to others and to myself. I am living in full awareness of God's love.
"Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."--Colossia ns 3:13

What do you want from 40+?
I posted this as a reply to another thread. I decided to do it as a stand alone also. Now is the time to speak up. The members need to decide the future of the group. Here is what I wrote.
I'd like to see us agree to two things this group was founded upon, and make Blaz's life much easier. (She is serious about wanting to pass on the wand guys and I don't want to see the group disappear.)
When we were started I thought there were two things understood. One, that no one would be banned (booted) unless they violated the TOU's. Two if you post it you own it on 40+--no deletions or requests for deletions again unless it violates the TOU's.
If that is still what this group favors (and I believe it's still in our group message) lets try to stick to it. A moderators life will be far less stressful and we might just be able to keep her and keep the group.
Thanks MB, I like reading everyone's viewpoints here too. I can't say I change my mind very often (old and stubborn maybe?) but there have been times I've switched sides when someone "showed me the light". Let's please keep that light shining.

Heaven and Hell
I noticed a post a little while ago asking (I believe) if you believed in God. I'd like to expand on that by asking do you believe there is a heaven and hell?
I was brought up by old fashioned southern folks. Not only did I attend Sunday school, but I also attended the church services afterwards. I attended an AME (African Methodist Episcopal) church; the services did not have the "zest" of the Baptist persuasion, but they could get quite lively at times. Heaven and hell was often a part of the pastor's sermon. And it did leave a lasting impression on me to this day.
So, what do you think?
