'GET-R-DUN'

 

Meet Molly.  She's a grey speckled pony who was abandoned by her owners when Hurricane Katrina hit southern Louisiana.  She spent weeks on her own before finally being rescued and taken to a farm where abandoned animals were stockpiled.  While there, she was attacked by a pit bull terrier and almost died.  Her gnawed right front leg became infected, and her vet went to LSU for help, but LSU was overwhelmed, and this pony was a welfare case.  You know how that goes.  But after surgeon Rustin Moore met Molly, he changed his mind.  He saw how the pony was careful to lie down on different sides so she didn't seem to get sores, and how she allowed people to handle her.  She protected her injured leg.  She constantly shifted her weight and didn't overload her good leg.  She was a smart pony with a serious survival ethic.  Moore agreed to remove her leg below the knee, and a temporary artificial limb was built.  Molly walked out of the clinic and her story really begins there.  This was the right horse and the right owner,' Moore insists.  Molly happened to be a one-in-a-million patient.  She's tough as nails, but sweet, and she was willing to cope with pain.  She made it obvious she understood that she was in trouble.  The other important factor, according to Moore, is having a truly committed and compliant owner who is dedicated to providing the daily care required over the lifetime of the horse.  Molly's story turns into a parable for life in post-Katrina Louisiana.   The little pony gained weight, and her mane finally felt a comb.  A human prosthesis designer built her a leg.  The prosthetic has given Molly a whole new life, Allison Barca DVM, Molly's regular vet, reports.  And she asks for it.  She will put her little limb out, and come to you and let you know that she wants you to put it on.  Sometimes she wants you to take it off too.  And sometimes, Molly gets away from Barca.  'It can be pretty bad when you can't catch a three-legged horse,' she laughs.  Most important of all, Molly has a job now.  Kay, the rescue farm owner, started taking Molly to shelters, hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers.  Anywhere she thought that people needed hope. 

 Wherever Molly went, she showed people her pluck.  She inspired people, and she had a good time doing it.  'It's obvious to me that Molly had a bigger role to play in life, Moore said.  'She survived the hurricane, she survived a horrible injury, and now she is giving hope to others.'  Barca concluded, 'She's not back to normal, but she's going to be better.  To me, she could be a symbol for New Orleans itself.'

(Shows the bottom of her man made huff)

This is Molly's most recent prosthesis.  The bottom photo shows the ground surface that she stands on, which a smiley face has embossed in it.  Wherever Molly goes, she leaves a smiley hoof print behind.

 

I am proud to share this story with everyone because I love hearing great news about those forgotten helpless pets and animals that also become victims and people seem to forget about!  How about U?

My TEN expectations from "Mater's GET-R-DUN Code" 

I won’t ask what kind of car you drive, but I will ask how many people you drove that didn’t have transportation.   

I won’t ask what the square footage of your house is, but I will ask how many people you have welcomed in it.   

I won’t ask about the clothes in your closet, but I will ask how many you helped to clothe.   

I won’t ask what your highest salary was, but I will ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.  

I won’t ask what your job title was, but I will ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.   

I won’t ask how many friends you have, but I will ask how many people to whom you were a friend.   

I won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived, but I will ask how you treated your neighbors.   

I won’t ask about the color of your skin, but I will ask about the content of your character.   

I won’t ask if you are popular, but I will ask if you are someone’s hero.   

I won’t ask what troubles have been faced, but I will ask if you're proud of what you've accomplished in life. 

 

This message is something I can only hope others can and will follow.  For this is the “Mater's Get-R-Dun Code”, and my expectations in which I feel people should ask and expect from others.  Faith isn’t only a religious belief but it is how to conduct your life as a human being within yourself and others.  Greed is not what makes this world go round!  We all share this world together and so it should be written, and so it should be!  It's all in what you make it to be!

 

For all my brothers and sisters reading this today and to whom agrees ~~~ Can I get an AMEN!

This has been around before, but it is just as true now as it was the first time.  It has been validated by truthorfiction.com.  I believe the other data is a matter of public record and public opinion.  Well…this should make you think a little:  There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January.  In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January. That's just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq.

 

When some claim that President Bush shouldn't have started this war, state the following:

 

a. FDR led us into World War II.

b. Germany never attacked us ; Japan did >From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost ..an average of 112,500 per year.

c. Truman finished that war and started one in Korea North Korea never attacked us >From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost an average of 18,334 per year.

d. John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.  Vietnam never attacked us.

e. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire >From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost an average of 5,800 per year.

f. Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent. Bosnia never attacked us.  He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.

g. In the years since terrorists attacked us , President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya , Iran , and, North Korea.

 

The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking.

 

But Wait...There's more!

It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation.  We've been looking for evidence for chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.

 

It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.

 

It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!

 

Our Commander-In-Chief is doing a GREAT JOB!  The Military morale is high!  The biased media hopes we are too ignorant to realize the facts.

 

But Wait...There's even more!

 

JOHN GLENN (on the Senate floor - January 26, 2004).  Some people still don't understand why military personnel do what they do for a living. This exchange between Senators John Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaum is worth reading. Not only is it a pretty impressive impromptu speech, but it's also a good example of one man's explanation of why men and women in the armed services do what they do for a living.

 

This IS a typical, though sad, example of what some who have never served think of the military.

 

Senator Metzenbaum (speaking to Senator Glenn): 'How can you run for Senate when you've never held a real job?' Senator Glenn (D-Ohio):'I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps.  I served through two wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my check book it was my life on the line. It was not a nine-to-five job, where I took time off to take the daily cash receipts to the bank.

 

You to go with me as I went the other day to a veteran's hospital and look at those men with their mangled bodies in the eye, and tell THEM they didn't hold a job!'

 

You go with me to the Space Program at NASA and go, as I have gone, to the widows and Orphans of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee...and you look those kids in the eye and tell them that their DADS didn't hold a job.

 

You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in Arlington National Cemetery, where I have more friends buried than I'd like to remember, and you watch those waving flags.

 

You stand there, and you think about this nation, and you tell ME that those people didn't have a job?

 

What about you? 'For those who don't remember during WWII, Howard Metzenbaum was an attorney representing the Communist Party in the USA. Now he's a Senator!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona  

Do you all remember or know about Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona , who painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates wear pink prison garb. Arpaio has been called "America's Toughest Sheriff" a name given to him by the media years ago. It's a name he certainly has earned as the head of the nation's fourth largest Sheriff's Office. But even before he became Sheriff in 1993, Joe Arpaio was one tough law man.  His controversial approach to operating the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, mainly in regard to his treatment of inmates. Although he has a large number of vocal supporters for his toughness on crime and criminals, his practices have been harshly criticized by organizations such as Amnesty International.  You probably know him as "America's Toughest Sheriff",   Well.........SHERIFF JOE IS AT IT AGAIN!  Oh, there's MUCH more to know about Sheriff Joe! 

Maricopa County was spending approx. $18 million dollars a year on stray animals, like cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the department over, and the County Supervisors said okay.  

The animal shelters are now all staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and care for the strays. Every animal in his care is taken out and walked twice daily. He now has prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition and behavior. They give great classes for anyone who'd like to adopt an animal. He has literally taken stray dogs off the street, given them to the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog shows. 

The best part, his budget for the entire department is now under $3 million. The prisoners get the benefit of about $0.28 an hour for working, but most would work for free, just to be out of their cells for the day. Most of his budget is for utilities, building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners out of the fees collected for adopted animals.  

I have long wondered when the rest of the country would take a look at the way he runs the jail system, and copy some of his ideas. He has a huge farm, donated to the county years ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most of their own fresh vegetables and food, doing all the work and harvesting by hand. He has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides meat, and fertilizer.   It fertilizes the Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you can buy a living Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for the Holidays, and plant it later. We have six trees in our yard from the Prison.  Yup, he was reelected last year with 83% of the vote.  Now he's in trouble with the ACLU again. He painted all his buses and vehicles with a mural, that has a special hotline phone number painted on it, where you can call and report suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement wasn't doing enough in his eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically for enforcing immigration laws, started up his hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling folks back to the border. He's kind of a 'Get-R Dun' kind of Sheriff. 

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO…HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER, THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY: 
Sheriff Joe Arpaio (In Arizona ) who created the ' Tent City Jail': He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.  He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights Cut off all but 'G' movies.  He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.  Then He Started Chain Gangs For Women So He Wouldn't Get Sued For Discrimination.  He took away cable TV Until he found out there was A Federal Court Order that Required Cable TV For Jails So He Hooked Up The Cable TV Again Only Let In The Disney Channel And The Weather Channel.  When asked why the weather channel He Replied, So They Will Know How Hot It's Gonna Be While They Are Working ON My Chain Gangs.  He Cut Off Coffee Since It Has Zero Nutritional Value.  When the inmates complained, he told them, 'This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton.....If You Don't Like It, Don't Come Back.  He bought Newt Gingrich's lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails.  When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.  

With Temperatures Being Even Hotter Than Usual In Phoenix (116 Degrees Just Set A New Record), the Associated Press Reports: About 2,000 Inmates Living In A Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment At The Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued Pink Boxer Shorts.  On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 
138 Degrees Inside The Week Before.  Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels As Sweat Collected On Their Chests And Dripped Down To Their PINK SOCKS.  'It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace,' Said James Zanzot, An Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year. 'It's Inhumane'.  

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: 'It's 120 Degrees In Iraq And Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too, And They Have To Wear Full Battle Gear, but They Didn't Commit Any Crimes,So Shut Your Mouths!'  

Under the State law – Arrests by Sheriff’s deputies of persons transporting or being transported illegally into Arizona: 988
Under the Federal law – Arrests by Sheriff’s deputies who, in the course of their duties, determine the arrestee is in Arizona illegally: 1,130 ICE “Holds” - Each inmate booked is interviewed for immigration status. Sheriff’s detention officers have turned over 13,790 illegal immigrants to Immigration authorities for deportation back to Mexico.  

Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders. Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.

This man should run for president!  He's very worthy to sit in the President's Chair!  What's your opinion?

As you may have heard the Bush Administration said each and every one of us would now get a nice rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.

If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs or VENEZUELA.

If we purchase a computer it will all go to India.

If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will all go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.

If we purchase a good car it will all go to Japan.

If we purchase useless crap it will all go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America, so the only way to keep it here at home is to buy American. But it would seem that prostitutes and beer are about the only businesses still in the US, and even comes well recommended known within the politicians! LOL

This will curl your hair (if you still have hair). Seems like the Dems are not giving us much choice...no matter who wins the nomination. Hilley and Billy...or...Obama and Osama. Yuk!!

I'm sure you have heard the term, "Birds of a feather flock together". Should Sen. B. Obama be known by the company he keeps? Do evil companions corrupt?

Take your blood pressure medication prior to reading further and keep this in mind...........

1 Cor 15:33
(New American Standard Bible)
Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals."
(King James Bible)
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

1 Tim 6:5
Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

2 Tim 3:5
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2 Tim 3:7
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

...in the New Testament to find the answers, if you do not know already, you might want to read these verses in several approved translations to understand the full meaning. I know everyone had to have seen a clip of Obama's (so called) preacher on FOX news. Sounds to me as though he should be tried for treason!

Obama's Pastor: GD America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11.

Obama's Pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Has a History of What Even Obama's Campaign Aides Say Is 'Inflammatory Rhetoric'.

Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "GD America."

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for the last 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side, has a long history of what even Obama's campaign aides concede is "inflammatory rhetoric," including the assertion that the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own "terrorism."

In a campaign appearance earlier this month, Sen. Obama said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." He said Rev. Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with," telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.

Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope."

An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright's sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans.

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, GD America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "GD America for treating our citizens as less than human. GD America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism.

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.

"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his congregation.

Sen. Obama told the New York Times he was not at the church on the day of Rev. Wright's 9/11 sermon. "The violence of 9/11 was inexcusable and without justification," Obama said in a recent interview. "It sounds like he was trying to be provocative," Obama told the paper.

Rev. Wright, who announced his retirement last month, has built a large and loyal following at his church with his mesmerizing sermons, mixing traditional spiritual content and his views on contemporary issues.

"I wouldn't call it radical. I call it being black in America," said one congregation member outside the church last Sunday.

"He has impacted the life of Barack Obama so much so that he wants to portray that feeling he got from Rev. Wright onto the country because we all need something positive," said another member of the congregation.

Rev. Wright, who declined to be interviewed by ABC News, is considered one of the country's 10 most influential black pastors, according to members of the Obama campaign.

Obama has praised at least one aspect of Rev. Wright's approach, referring to his "social gospel" and his focus on Africa, "and I agree with him on that."

Sen. Obama declined to comment on Rev. Wright's denunciations of the United States, but a campaign religious adviser, Shaun Casey, appearing on "Good Morning America" Thursday, said Obama "had repudiated" those comments.

In a statement to ABCNews.com, Obama's press spokesman Bill Burton said, "Sen. Obama has said repeatedly that personal attacks such as this have no place in this campaign or our politics, whether they're offered from a platform at a rally or the pulpit of a church. Sen. Obama does not think of the pastor of his church in political terms. Like a member of his family, there are things he says with which Sen. Obama deeply disagrees. But now that he is retired, that doesn't detract from Sen. Obama's affection for Rev. Wright or his appreciation for the good works he has done."
--------------------------------------------


Well I say, "If anyone didn't agree with or doesn't except what their preacher preaches & teaches, then why continue to stay around and stand behind that church and preacher?" Anyone else would find a different church that they are completely satisfied with and can believe in and agree with to the fullest with out any daught with their preachings and teachings! I can't help but really wonder just what Obama's true belief is and the truth of what is really on his mind and in his heart? All aspects about this leads to questional intent!


What action (if any) do you think should be taken against this preacher man? Could he be protected by the church?

How would you call it?

(The notice is mailed by the IRS to explain what Congress passed for a tax payers relief refund.  This is the only thing you will receive from the IRS, anything else is a fake and may even request for your personal information.  Don't fall for it because this notice is the only thing, besides your refund check, you will get legally through IRS!)

Economic Stimulus Payment Notice

Dear Taxpayer

We are pleased to inform you that the United States Congress passed and President George W. Bush signed into law the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, which provides for economic stimulus payments to be made to over 130 million American households.  Under this new law, you may be entitled to a payment of up to $600 ($1,200 if filing a joint return), plus additional amounts for each qualifying child.

We are sending this notice to let you know that based on the new law the IRS will begin sending the one-time payments starting in May.  To receive a payment in 2008, individuals who qualify will not have to do anything more than file a 2007 tax return.  The IRS will determine eligibility, figure the amount, and send the payment.  This payment should not be confused with any 2007 income tax refund that is owned to you be the federal government.  Income tas refunds for 2007 will be made seperately from this one-time payment.

For individuals who normally do not have to file a tax return, the new law provides for payments to individuals who have a total of $3,000 or more in earned income, Social Security benefits, and/or certain veteran' payments, you may receive a payment of $300 ($600 if married filing jointly).

Individuals who qualify may receive as much as $600 ($1,200 if married filing jointly).  Even if you pay no income tax but have a total of $3,000 or more in earned income, Social Security benefits, and/or certain veteran's payments, you may receive a payment of $300 ($600 if married filing jointly).

In addition, individuals eligible for payments may also receive an additional amount of $300 for each child qualifying for the child tax credit.

For taxpayers with adjusted gross income (AGI) of more than $75,000 (or more the $150,000   if married filing jointly), the payment will be reduced or phased out completely.

To qualify for the payment, an individual, spouse, and any qualifying child must have a valid Social Security number.  In addition, individuals cannot receive a payment if they can be claimed as a dependent of another taxpayer or they filed a 2007 Form 1040NR, 1040NR-EZ, 1040-PR, or 1040-SS.

All individuals receiving payments will receive a notice and additional information shortly before the payment is made.  In the meantime, for additional information, please visit the IRS website at www.irs.gov.

Warning  (The IRS doesn't need any of your information because they alreay have it on file so anyone that requests your information or making false claims of needing your information...throw it away, take down their information then hang up and report it, don't believe what they may try to throw to you!)

"The 'virtual fence' is virtually useless," says Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA). The recent failure of the highly touted "virtual fence" (that DHS spent more than $20 million developing) is a slap in the face to every citizen who has been demanding control of the borders.

But DHS isn't committed to securing the borders. If they were, they would have followed the mandates of the Secure Fence Act, and duplicated the barrier built in San Diego.

That 14-mile fence has been extremely effective in lowering illegal crossings and drug traffic. In fact, apprehensions have decreased due to fewer crossings. In simple language, the double-layered fence works.

Hunter is so incensed by the current state of border fencing-- single-layer, and virtual fencing that he’s introduced legislation demanding that it "restores the most important elements of the Secure Fence Act," notably 700 miles of double-layered fencing to be constructed within six months of the bill’s enactment.

H.R. 5124 is strongly supported and should be strongly supported by every citizen in the nation who is serious about border security.

To add…
Representative Gayle Harrell (R-81) doesn't like the idea of Florida being a "Sanctuary State", and she's doing something about it.

Harrell introduced the "The Florida Safe Borders Act of 2008"(HB 821), a bill that would crack down on illegal aliens and their employers, and empower state and local officials to investigate and report illegal aliens and their employers. Harrell needs our help!

This important bill is currently stuck in the Government Efficiency and Accountability Council, and your help is needed to move it forward. If this bill is not read by this counsel, relief from the increasing pressure of illegal aliens draining benefits and services from Florida taxpayers will only worsen. That's why we are counting on our Florida members to take immediate action.

There is even a movie unlike any you have seen. It's called "Border", and it’s the one movie the open-bordered leadership in our nation doesn’t want you--or anyone else to see. Why? Because it tells a true story. It's not Hollywood fiction with a happy ending. "Borders" is a raw firsthand video record of one man's journey to our borders and the unspeakable horrors that he found.

Here you'll discover the true level of lawlessness at our borders -- the rape trees, and the death. You'll experience the frustration being felt by ranchers, farmers and citizens who are desperately trying to hang on to their land being overrun by vicious gangs and drug smugglers.

And most shocking of all, you'll witness drug mules being escorted across the border into the U.S. by Mexican military! Our leaders don't want you to know how serious this situation has become. They prefer we all remain ignorant to the real truth--the truth that Chris Burgard captured on film--the truth that is guaranteed will make your blood boil!

By now you know that the liberal media isn't interested in exposing the true reality of what is happening at our borders.

Once again, it is up to you and me of this country--average citizens who want their land, homes, and country safe from invasion to take a stand and get the truth out to a nation that is being deceived by the media and our leadership!

If we can't count on the media and our leadership for the facts, then we must look to friends like Chris Burgard, who risked his life and is now bringing the horrifying truth about our borders to light.

I have just learned that the just passed House Stimulus package intended to jump-start a sagging economy by giving citizens rebates, also includes cash benefits for illegal aliens!  Please say it isn't soooooo!!!!! 

"I heard it through the grapevine" that according to FOX News, the plan would benefit those illegal aliens who qualify as "resident aliens" - meaning they have spent a substantial amount of time in the U.S. and have not yet been deported.  To add...these so-called "resident aliens" also must have been assigned a US Individual Tax Identification Number.  Please say it isn't soooooo!!!!! 

Assigning a tax number to an illegal alien in-effect legitimizes their right to be in the U.S!  This bill will certainly stimulate "more illegal immigration."  Please say it isn't soooooo!!!!!

 

This bill easily passed through the House(385-35), and some restoration sense and sensibility as this bill progresses through the Senate.  So fast action is possible when they want to speed something through so quickly, it makes you wonder what's really up!

 

If this is true then please call and express your outrage......

Sen. Nelson       202-224-5274     Sen. Martinez     202-224-3041

 

If it is false then please disregard this message of questioning & disturbing concern!  I'm losing some more rust just from trembling over thinking about this!  Can someone please rest my mind at ease, with out any daught and know for a fact it not true, and Say it isn't soooooo?????
