I hope it doesn't sound silly to say, but YOU are a daily part of my day. Not only reading you, which I don't get to do everyday ( sadly) but THINKING about what you would do in certian situations. Seriously! I've often wondered to myself...hummm, what would Dianne say about this???...I'm really glad I found you. And I second the notion that you are better than butter!!! & I love me some butter!!!!!!<BR/>Thanks for the Award sweetie!

I love reading you - I spent a bit of time wandering your halls yesterday.<BR/><BR/>900 days is but a blink of the eye don't ya think? :)<BR/><BR/>I lived in a dangerous neighborhood the first few years of my marriage. Guns were everywhere. My ex was fascinated by them - almost as much as he was fascinated by booze and drugs. Such a horrifying combination! The only good a gun has ever done, in my own experience, is finally convince me to leave him when he drunkenly pointed one at me while our child slept beside me. He swore it wasn't loaded - guess what? it was. <BR/><BR/>I don't know that I voice opinions here as much as I relate experiences and feelings that of course then form my opinions.<BR/><BR/>Either way - Peace is a good objective and I think there are many ways to get there - none of them require being armed.<BR/><BR/>Peace my new friend.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797176281269170321.post-85923708518557062362008-04-09T09:07:00.000-04:002008-04-09T09:07:00.000-04:00newt - definitely extra butter! thankssandra - tha...newt - definitely extra butter! thanks<BR/><BR/>sandra - thanks for checking out the kitties.

F...Dianne<BR/>Going off your buttery topic for a moment. <BR/><BR/>First thanks for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>Second within less than 900 days we are about the same age. I am older. <BR/><BR/>I have lived 95 percent of that time IN [not near] Detroit and have never owned a gun. <BR/><BR/>I am an American and a human my color is irrelevant even though to most people, except them like Heston and KKK types; they would feel more comfortable with me than any of my neighbors.<BR/><BR/>I made no comment of my own about Heston or the clip because I respect your fear if you feel the need to own a gun(speaking in the imperial you)or want to hunt your own food, then go for it, but I have seen to many friends and strangers shot down by them, read to many stories of children dropped as trash in a drive-by and the warm snuggly feeling of power most people get from a gun. So I am not a gun owner.<BR/><BR/>But what I am is a poet, a writer who rarely if ever makes opinions on my blog. I just use it as a place to write because I don't need or want to publish again (print). Leave that for them concerned with the business of seeing their name on a best seller. <BR/><BR/>Never had a best seller, or anything close but a few rags were not smart enough to pass up a piece or two and that satisfied the craving for me. the same as being in the Navy and going through 2 hurricanes with 40-50 foot seas satisfied the craving to set sail. Loved it but seen it, lived through it and now move on.<BR/><BR/>If all of the world has to wait for, all of the hands that hold guns to be cold and dead, then peace never had a chance since the first conflict in history was ever fought.<BR/><BR/>Yet that is my fools errand. Peace. Thanks again I now return control of your blog to your regularly scheduled buttery excesses (thank God for them.)<BR/><BR/>Peace <BR/><BR/>markthe walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797176281269170321.post-21570350947485217852008-04-09T06:56:00.000-04:002008-04-09T06:56:00.000-04:00Gongrats on the award!
