My brother purchased tickets to take my children to a concert in Minn last month as an early xmas gift. My son purchased a ticket on your bus line to go from Cedar Falls where he goes to college to Mason City to meet my brother and my daughter along the way so they wouldn't need to drive out of their way to get him. Today, he arrived in plenty of time back to catch the bus. The time for the bus came and he asked the clerk if there was somewhere special he should wait. This clerk had no idea. He then asked a second clerk who then told him the bus stop was 2........ yes 2 blocks...

Here is a letter received from one, hoping we could find people to adopt some of the soldiers in her platoon.......
In Iraq, right now, more people are dying from suicide than combatrelated deaths. This worries me. I know that when a soldier receivesmail it raises moral. It also lowers it when a soldier doesn't receivemail. I've been here for a 1 1/2 months. In that time two soldiers havecommitted suicide.
I don't get a chance to see everybody in my unit every day. But I worryabout them all. I do not want another soldier to take their own life.There are so many...

Ever since the war started, the kids and I have wanted to do something special for our troops. We have joined several different organizations to help write letters, send cards and packages to troops that have been deployed. I have been doing alot with 2 groups. Adopt a platoon and Soldier Angels. Last night, Shelli with Soldier Angels emailed out that she needed help with a group. Of course, I emailed back right away that I could help out. I am now the proud leader of my own group of women who take care of a group of deployed women! I'm so excited! Soldier Angels has a branch called Ladies...

Ok, so I have two half sisters from my dad's first marriage. I have only seen these girls one other time in my life. They have rarely kept in contact with me or my dad until the last year. When they do happen to call him, it's collect and they usually want something... usually money which he wont give them. They are rude to my mom on the phone too. My mom goes out of her way to be nice to them. She remembers their bdays, sends them xmas gifts, etc. Lord knows dad has enough trouble remembering our bdays! lol! A couple weeks ago, they decided they were coming from texas to visit! (...
