Some words after a little snarkiness (Nothing like the F-bomb place) erupted from someone on there:

Subject: Character

I have noticed, as I grow old, that good character appears to be an ever diminishing quality in our society. I was raised by people with good character. My parents and my grandparents encouraged honesty and responsibility. They believed that if you had a disagreement or issue with another person that you should simply discuss that matter directly with them and (hopefully) reach a resolution. Doing so, they said, would make you a better person, a person with good character.

Some people won't face a person they disagree with. They, instead, sometimes choose to discredit them with others. They do this either because they are afraid of them or want to hurt them.

But, the winner, in the end, will be the person with good character, like my parents and grandparents believed. That's because we have to live with ourselves first.

Sadly, our society is rotting like a bad apple. I'm not sure what happened. Maybe too many parents and grandparents failed to pass the torch. I will not fail to do that for my children.

May the treatment be supplanted by a cure, and soon.

Help support the cause!
New Pink & White M&M's

The maker of M&M candies has teamed up with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to raise funds through the sale of their new "pink &white" M&M candies.




For each 8-ounce bag of the special candies sold, the makers of M&M (Masterfoods) will donate 50 cents to the foundation. The next time you want a treat, please pick up a bag (now sold in stores nationwide). You will be donating to a great cause and satisfying your sweet tooth. Just think...If each of us buy one bag or two....how much will be donated. Buy a bag for a friend or the office.

Please paste this in your LJ so we can spread the word.


Thank you.
