(insert 11/2/2021) This blogpost was compromised, part of what I wrote is gone here.
My father wrote him a note and asked me to take it to him and not to read it. I should have photocopied it! The note was sealed in an envelope Dad sealed. No doubt that scumbag was the one who came into the hospital room when my father was being treated for ascites and pushed him over on the chest tube to stab his lungs. I went out to sleep in my car because the nurses would not give me a lounge to sleep in, yet they provided me one in the room the day before. My brother and the priest intercepted.
Insert 1/10/2018: ( this section was changed from my original statement, I just noticed a critical part was missing )
I had returned to my father's hospital room after taking a nap in my car, since they would not give me a lounger to rest in. (No doubt because my scumbag brother was telling them not to on the phone. Because I found out he was telling them my father had molested me. A complete LIE. And my father molested no one, most likely a victim of that when he was in an orphanage and/or at the abusive foster home owned by the Huck family, where he and his brothers were forced to sleep on straw under the porch and never allowed in the house.) It was then someone - I am sure the scumbag pedophile paedophile priest - pushed my father to the side to hopefully puncture his lungs with the chest tube. My father was in extreme pain. No one was checking on him, though I told the staff I was going to take a nap in my car. I ran to the nurse's station and said to hurry because my father was pushed over and more than one person was needed to stabilize him. She said, "They are all in a meeting. You have to wait." I said, "If you don't get nurses over there I will call 911!!!" So they went over and badmouthed my father about why did you do a thing like that - which he did not do. Someone else did. Yet at least my father was stabilized and the pulmonary doctor was notified. I also called the doctor. I also REGRETTABLY called my sibling, my brother, crying that someone was trying to kill my father. My brother said he would fly down and help get my father into a safer facility, since the chest tube was probably ready to be taken out and he could be discharged.
My statement keeps changing here, so keep that in mind when you read this (1/14/2018) - it is not me, it is a hacker - attempting to frame me as a nutjob. I am saving this and printing it for my records at this point.
My brother arrived the next day, demanding I pick him up at the airport over an hour's drive away. I said no. My father was not safe. I did not want that evil priest going there when I wasn't in his room. A nice and helpful nurse brought in a lounge chair for me. Other nurses told me to sleep in the other hospital bed which was empty. I refused. I said, "I am not a patient here - why would I do that?" The chest tube was ready to be taken out. Yet that night my brother had my father moved to a different floor after he had x-rays and my brother drugged him up so he could no longer speak.
The following morning I called very early, around 6 am, asking how my father was. I was transferred to my father's room and my brother answered and said everything was okay, and only said he had my father moved because my brother did not like the treatment on the other floor.
I believe my brother resented my staying in a lounger the prior night, that is why!
I decided to go to the hospital right away because I did not feel comfortable with the fact my father was moved and NOBODY TOLD ME, even though I asked my brother to call me if there were any changes. He told me that my father's lungs were bleeding and the doctor ordered him to go to hospice when I got to his room. I was shocked. Yet I believed my brother.
The doctor did not get me aside and speak to me because he thought my brother had told me the truth - and he thought I was in agreement. My brother had already arranged for my father to die and my mother was there ready to go along with everything - so this was obviously premeditated. This was beyond evil, because a staff member told me later when I left New Mexico that my brother was telling them all that my father molested me, as a means of control.
He got the scumbag priest to come to the hospital room that day and he actually shocked me by quickly walking up to me and kissing me on the mouth. I would have slapped him across the face if it wasn't for the fact my father needed to stay calm.
My father was rolling his eyes like he was trying to talk and I was confused. My brother turned out to be the Satanic enemy - someone who disgraced my father, deceived me, and turned my whole childhood into a nightmare that will not go away. My father was talking all the time before this, even when he pushed on his side. My brother was supposed to come down to help me find a better nursing facility because they were horribly abusing him and he had terrible marks - large bruises - from the abuse. Yet nobody cared. Nobody wanted to do anything but cover it all up! What better way to cover it up than to kill him!
I am not surprised when I hear of more murders of people who are willing to testify against the Clinton Crime Syndicate or the Americans who planned September 11 (besides Hillary Clinton and John McCain - Search Field McConnell AV 7 and watch that video) but when a brother even tells me later, "I came down to make Dad die" and that it was a spiritual experience, etc. - how can you even process that? the nurse did what my brother said he wanted him to do, to make sure my father would never be able to talk and die faster. He collapsed my father's lungs right in front of me and the staff as well as my own mother threatened that they would have security throw me out if I did not shut up. I kept telling the nurse he was harming my father and to stop. My father cried out in such pain! And nobody there cared. They were getting rid of an inconvenience. They already intercepted my unemployment to make me not able to stay there and help my father. The Chief Medical Examiner refused to investigate and refused to turn over my information to any other authority, like FBI. Local police laughed at me when I called them from the hospice as the nurse was crushing my father's lungs. I did call them from another area yet they would not get involved just because it was a murder. Because they said it was a hospice - and people die in hospices. Well, NOT ALWAYS because I know of circumstances when people are sent to a hospice to die and they are discharged!
My brother should be arrested and put in prison for life what he did and the priest should be sentenced to death for being a serial killer! Killing your own father who loved you your whole life is beyond comprehension!
I created a book as a project to heal - yet one never really heals from having their parent murdered - by a sibling and a priest, of all people!
My copies are all missing. I hope that my poetry was retained in electronic files I can retrieve.

My Note to Those who read this: My father died a very cruel death Jan 14, 2000. He was forced to die and it was planned by my own brother and a paedophile priest (Fr. David Bentley, who molested children for 19 years in Albany, NY and the Catholic Church transferred him WHEN about 26 of his victims filed class action lawsuit or separate lawsuits) My brother gave the priest precedence over me. He promised to keep the priest away from my father and that he would call me if Dad stopped talking or any other changes. My father was talking when my brother arrived at the hospital. My father was due to be discharged the next day by the doctor BECAUSE his lungs were clear. Yet my brother had my father transferred to a different floor without notifying me and had him drugged up and set him up for hospice - all behind my back when I went back to Dad's apartment just to rest and take care of my cat, which I brought with me and promised Dad I would move down there to take care of him for as long as he needed.
![]() MMy cat Frosty was poisoned by an intruder at the apartment I was poisoned with lead, leaching from my water. I had a heart attack. The apartment building was owned by a group of attorneyes. The Secretary of State refused to tell me who they were even though I proved I lived there! |
I had my Persian Tabby cat Frosty for ten years.

I love Jake's reporting, he is so scholarly, but my having about 15 years on him, I tend to be much more tired of the corruption and violence coming out of Washington!
Look at all the mass shootings! They make money on mass shootings - snatching and grabbing and using it for nefarious purposes such as building more Transgender clinics! WAKE UP!
Sandy Hook FAKE shooting was Dec 12, 2012 (12/12/12) - Subscribe to GEMATRIA on YouTube! GEMATRIA SHOULD BE HIRED AS A CONSULTANT BY FBI! HE SUSPECTED THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING TERRIBLE THAT WOULD HAPPEN TODAY SINCE IT IS 11/9/2018 - A Satanic symbolic number.
In 2013 - MANY TRANSGENDER CLINICS WERE BUILT! And I mean MANY! See my blogpost on Tranny Watch, the notes about the Transgendering of children, a current video I watched.
My comment: USA Foreign policy sucks right now. So if China and Russia and Iran and India want to pick up the slack to promote WORLD PEACE - I am all for it. US is known for being bullies and when our great honorable statesmen like Colin Powell, Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions - and others - promote DIPLOMACY - they are SQUISHED. Something to consider. If they posture themselves as stronger than USA - Trump will have no standing, the military would only want to get involved if they want to commit suicide, so Trump will hit a WALL that THEY built and I say GOOD!!!
We the GOOD people of United States want Peace and appose those leaders who incite war! <END OF INSERT>

(insert 11/2/2021) This blogpost was compromised, part of what I wrote is gone here.
My brother resented it. My brother told me the next day that the pulmonary specialist ordered Dad to go to Hospice because his lungs were bleeding. HE LIED TO ME! I trusted what he said and when he was taken to hospice, he became even more evil, saying he wanted the nurse to hold him on his sides to collapse his lungs and kill him. I called police and they laughed. They would not come out to the hospice. I called the minister who my father worked with at the sheriff dept. He said he would pray for him and said he hoped things worked out. He may have suggested I call the sheriff dept. Though my father was known by certain officers there because he was on their chaplain call list for four years - they laughed at me also and said no one was coming out. I told the nurse to stop when he was collapsing my father's lungs and my mother did not even care. The last thing she said to my father was "I'm getting a boyfriend" - here my father was so sick and on the phone she said that evil thing to him. He began to cry. I helped him hang up the phone. My brother snuck her to New Mexico, so they could enjoy watching him die! When my father asked for water in Hospice, my brother was agitated and did not want me to give him water. He said, "He isn't supposed to talk!" After all, they were killing him and my father was fighting for his life and he did not like it! That brother was on three different psyche meds BY HIS OWN CHOICE. It made me sick to find out he became a nurse later when I searched online. His wife was already a nurse and told him how to make my father die when he flew down for 48 hours.
I got no justice even when I submitted a thorough complaint to the Chief Medical Examiner. There was overwhelming circumstantial evidence. Yet nobody cared. After all, my brother was successful in getting Dad cremated in 24 hours and they failed to save ANY samples as they are required to do when doing a routine autopsy. I discovered this after reading a book on Death and Dying by Dr. Siegal, which I purchased from the Jewish Communities. I recommend this book to anyone because it prepares you and you need to understand the process! My father was seriously ill and it may be he was even poisoned by that pedophile priest, who broke into his apartment when I was at the nursing home visiting him. The management told me they saw him in there and knocked on the door. He then turned the lights out. Maybe he was molesting a child in there! They did not call police because after all, he was a priest! I am sure he is a serial killer also!

I have added more, but have more. Yet hundreds of poems have been stolen from me in this state.
The Strawberry
is the star of berries.
Giving delight to the eye
Relishing flavor to the tongue
Sending its scent into the sky
Feeling the wholeness of cluster
I hear the pangs of my stomach long
for these clusters.
This healing herbal delight
Fights ailments of the stomach,
menstrual cramps, mouth ulcers, soar throats,
and breaks fevers when one is sick.
Each strawberry
is made up
of several seeds -
Each important
as it feeds and grows
to one day let go
of each seed
Into Nature
which absorbs
Each feature
As a treasure
From God.
Its companion, The Borage,
Protects the berry
So it can thrive,
Forming a pact for life,
as the hidden strawberry
Grows its entourage.
They are sown so close, keeping
insects and disease from
its fruit, its roots, its leaves
And one can boast
of the reapings.
Staying close to the ground
they sprout out, trailing
from the main Crown of the plant.
The Nodes form new plants
As they have found
more room to produce.
“This produce is God's prize to us in life”,
as Dad would say,
being his favorite fruit.
Dad picked it with good cause
giving credit to its Root.
For they symbolize what
is True from Above -
Connecting with others' needs,
sharing our seeds of good deeds,
As we embrace life with Love.
FOLLOW YOUR
BLISS
Following can
mean being attentive
Happiness is your incentive
When you follow your Bliss
Not missing
the sun -
Not missing
the feel of the breeze
blissfully believing to exist is to Bliss.
Happiness is your incentive

Hearing one's
heart as a drum beat repeating
reminding one that energy comes from Bliss
Resting - blissfully bridles -
Building the bridge we all need to balance
for Life is not chance; it is choice
Our voice is truly heard without sound
Which has the power to invade, detract,
cause one to act -
It is in action as we figure each day
Making our way,
Taking in ONLY what is blissful
Eliminating toxins - we win

Humanity - Every Tree
is comprised of many components, each
playing their own role as a sum of the whole
Yet at times as one wholly fixed
on connecting - correcting - communicating
cascading to all parts. The electricity
is an Electric Tree. To Be
is a present, an opportunity to express
What is best for us, what brings Yin and Yang
all hanging on us - choices - voices
Being true
When we keep our eyes
on the Blue

campaigning bombs of destruction
uprooting only shooting pain

When they repel just because they can
We can't make when we take
Our egos balloon.
"Prioritree" - eventually
dies - and cries alone.

The Rise
Of Fall
Breath
in the cool, fresh air
As the
wind sings through trees.
Look up
at the blue sky
As your
eye views Fall Blue.
For you
are a part of Fall,
Partaking
and making its rise
As you
disguise yourself into it.
It
changes you to a new person.
Days of
sun express the best colors,
The
blurs of yesterday’s time
Chime to
announce change
-as your
eyes meet Fall
-as you
rise with Fall.

This Tribute
Goes to Whom The Bell Tolls and
To Whomever tolls Musical Bells
Which ring quietly – pleasing
And providing prevention
Monarchs
Willing to migrate
Anywhere – they care
To Flourish and Flower
For Nourishment
In exchange with flowers
Nectar
Needed and spread
Wings spread
Open-welcoming
Serenely serving
Curving their path
After having attached
To a simple twig
To shed and become
Chrysalis
Chrysanthemums
May bee the ones
Which perpetuate
The butterflies mate
And migrate
In life – giving life
Relying on offspring
To finish what was started
Even when broken-hearted
Continuing their paths
Paving new trails
Following where the female
The mum
Flew
Knowing their clusters
Could not bee
Could not enjoy the tree
Had it not been for the trail
Of mum
Protected when Viceroys
Governed and gave
Clearance from predators
And continue to migrate
Making the trail they travel
Flourish – blossom more
To become a Better World
Than before.
Today
Outside my
window,
A new day I
see
And only I
can determine
What kind
of day it will be.
It can be
busy and sunny, laughing and gay,
Or boring
and cold, unhappy and gray,
My own
state of mind is the determining key,
For I am
the only person I Let myself be.
I can be
thoughtful and do all I can to help,
Or be
selfish and think of just myself.
I can enjoy
what I do and make it seem fun,
Or gripe
and complaining and make it hard on someone.
I can be
patient with those who may not understand,
Or belittle
and hurt them as much as I can.
But I have
faith in myself,
And believe
what I say,
And
personally intend to make
The best of
each day.

The
Explosion Creates
An
explosion in Society
-in our
hearts – souls – minds.
Better than a renaissance, I say
Erupting from the walls of souls
Crying, saying goodbye but not wanting
To go – so they stay
Creating miracle and magical
Days as they gaze on us and
Fill us with their thoughts and love
-all above-comforting, communicating
In our hearts who respond
To despair – their souls stay
And say all will be alright
For our fight will forever end
Only what deviates – who creates
Unreality – creatively, excitingly appeals
To what they feel – transforming
Wrong to right by showing might
Yet their Face of Terror falls and crawls
Into cracks, crevices, crisping as
Criminals – crumbling, cringing, crossing
Everything that colors – that shines
And I hope they end
As they find an end
To Their Evil – at THEIR OWN HANDS
Through the hearts of their people
Who eliminate – execute – realize
Their lives into true beauty
Taking their plane cremations –
Making creations
Of Duty.
----anne marie bradley----written in 2000
His Little daughter was hurt.
And he
wanted to protect her.
Holding her in his arms
Thinking it is too late to heal
Feeling her pain and sorrow
Knowing her tomorrow
Will not be as he wanted
With Joy, Peace, Contentment.
His resentment
Towards the one
Who hurt her so
Goes deep
And disturbing
For he was also
One of his own.
His own?
“Why?”
he says
for as
a father
he wants
to fix
her pain -
his pain
that is,
if he
had any.
So many
Blamed Dad
And gradually
Dad believed.
Yes,
Believed he truly
Caused this.
Yet, I say “NO!”
How could Dad go
Caress his little girl
And cry deeply
From his soul –
Feeling his whole
Life was destroyed –
His sense of worth –
Was diminished;
“It is finished”,
so he thought,
for all this time
he fought
for right
yet right
under his finger
he finds his baby,
our baby, for she
was the baby
of the family—
Fallen
As a fawn
Shot down
When no one else
Was around –
When Dad,
Rest assured
All his children
Were secured
Like he never
Was when
He was a child.
He, being he who hurt,
Was more than wild
For he didn’t
Listen to him
Naturally,
For naturally
We are good-
Unnaturally
We can be evil
Learning how
Like school –
He fooled
Himself most
With his lies;
And he’ll
Never
Look in
Dad’s
Eyes.
Annie
5-4-00
Who’d
Know, Dad?
I shivered at the rest stops –
Thinking of you
Wishing you
Hadn’t been forced to die.
I cried and cried
In my car
With my cat
Not caring where we were at.
Just far from home,
I thought:
Then thought again
For I wanted to stay
With you
For, I needed you
So much more
Than you needed me,
Really.
You’d give me
The home I didn’t have,
Dad.
And I froze,
Turning my heat on
Now and then
Sleeping and waking
Again and again
With no friend
To be my friend.
Life stopped for me,
Dad.
I was numb inside
Anyway,
So it was okay
I froze – for
It spoke Truth.
Tough as it may seem
I know my screams
In my sleep
Were heard by you
Were felt by you
For I screamed for you,
Who
Was taken from me.
We
Will meet again, Dad,
You holding my hand,
And
Reassuring me
You never left.
Annie
Loving Like A Rock
We see
“Behind The Lense”
She uplifted our spirits, uplifting with Hope
The Hero
A hero is measured by
I must
be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
Just something to break up the monotany
I will be back and share more poetry.
Look Into My Father’s Eyes
By: Eric Clapman
Late at night
Behind the sun
Waiting for the
Prince to come
Praying for
The healing rain
To restore my
Soul again.
Just a boat ride
Off Double Run
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my
Hopes arise
How will I know when-
When I look in my Father’s Eyes.
Dim Light –
The kids to shine
I hear those ancient
Lullabies.
In his eyes watch
The seedlings grow
Feel my heart
Start to overflow.
Where do I find
The words to say
How do I teach him?
What do we pray?
Bit by bit
I realize
That’s when I need
When I need
My father’s eyes.
In the jagged
Edge of this
Through the distance -
House of kids
Sounds like a bridge
That was washed
Away –
My foundation
Was made to pray.
As my soul
Cries down to die
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit
I realize
He would be with me
When I look into my Father’s Eyes.

On Deception
We live
in a very
deceptive world
and we always have
to be aware of it.
Otherwise, we
Are fools.
You have
to read between the lines
You
have to look behind
The
Truth.
Your
eyes deceive you –
You
can’t really see through
Anything
– for all things
Deceive.
You
can’t believe
Anything.
I found
this out last night
When
the driver’s tail light
Broke –
nope, it was the cover
For
under the cover was white –
A white
light, not red,
As I
always said it was –
It
wasn’t – It was fake.
Yes,
fake, for God’s sake!
Not
real.
I feel
Freedom
is frivolous
Unless
you can see
The
White Light
Behind
the red plastic lining.

Loving Like A Rock
Oh
what a love –
To
love like a rock
For
rocks are products of who we are.
And
so
Should
love be,
Really.
Breaking
down –
Separating
– metamorphosing
Limestone
or dolostone into marble,
Sandstone
into slate, schist or gneiss,
Basalt
into amphibolite.
The
process is everchanging.
Weathering,
rearranging
Over
time
They
form
Holding
onto
Their
history
Carrying
a beauty
As
structures shape
Among
their surroundings
Finding,
collecting
What
is near
To
make them
Stronger
For
the longer
They
are around
They
continue
To
collect
And
forget
What
they had been
Forging
ahead
To
become better
Blending
and
Sometimes
fragmenting
These
fragments
Find
places of their own
As
they
Combine
Theirs
with others
And
define
Their
freedom
To
express –
To
illuminate –
To
color
Yet
always
Telling
a story
As
they change.

Rocks

God
gave
These

To
us
To
teach
About

About
Life,
Really.
And
As

Hold
a rock
Observing
its
Features

Openly
These

Are
not just Rock;

they Root
The

has come

FOLLOW YOUR
BLISS
Following can
mean being attentive
Happiness is your incentive
When you follow your Bliss
Not missing

Not missing
the feel of the breeze
blissfully believing to exist is to Bliss.

Hearing one's
heart as a drum beat repeating
reminding one that energy comes from Bliss
Resting - blissfully bridles -
Building the bridge we all need to balance
for Life is not chance; it is choice
Our voice is truly heard without sound
Which has the power to invade, detract,
cause one to act -
It is in action as we figure each day
Making our way,
Taking in ONLY what is blissful
Eliminating toxins - we win

On Restoration
Things
aren’t always better as they were before
Our Past
lights our way, so we must restore.
I see things
so differently as I get older.
I want to
take the colder memories
And make
clear sense of what seems senseless
And, unless
those like I can go on
We cannot
continue to run
Our Race
Or Face
Life as more
than reality
Seeing
sensiblility
To our
tries, our dreams,
Our cries –
even screams
For we will
see our roots through restoration.
-Our hearts
in our imagination
-Our
knowledge from our contemplation
-Our
passions in our fascination.
Little Grasshopper
I say, you little
Grasshopper,
Don’t you worry.
Every day we
hustle and worry
not appreciating
each other,
trying each other
by jury,
deciding which
faults are a bother.
But you, little
Grasshopper,
You spring into
the day
as if everything
could be okay
As long as I do,
too,
for you enjoy
working in
numbers.
No one slumbers.
Every one works –
for we enjoy
working.
The Library
The
library will always be
Our
home to insight
Which
shines who we are
Supporting
freedom and
The
right to learn.
It
is a comfort to go here
For
one is accepted immediately
And
guided by the librarian
With
their grace in intelligence.
Exploring
in tbe library is
Matrimonious
with absorbing
The
mastery of those there
And
maneuvers us to the right path.
Their
patronage encourages –
Their
perception discourages
One
from giving up.
Their
resources seem endless
Every
visit brings novel –
Not
just in the novel read,
But
in one’s intellect.
The
library supports all
And
brings diversity
Which
fuels our prosperity.
My
gratitude is ceaseless
Knowing
I’ll never be amiss
If
I depend
On
the library’s existence.

Coat of Arms
The
coat of Arms
-
adorns those passed
-
answers questions asked
about
who they are.
This
design is unique
to
families of said
Though
that person’s dead
They
live on in life
For
their great thoughts
were
implanted -
All
in this unique art
of
their arms
Which
were what
made
them succeed,
survive,
sustain,
over
and over again.
And
I suggest
You
make your own Coat
if
one doesn’t already exist.
Add
everything that just
represents
your family
as
a present to your family.
Make
your Coat
And
take your
Coat
with you
as
a patch
of
peace
in
remembrance of
your
loved one.
Your
loved one
Will
remain with you
And
sustain who
You
are
Knowing
your love lives on
And
life lives on
And
so does theirs
As
a star.
Poem by Anne Bradley
They Didn’t Win
Those who tread on us will most likely do it again
But they didn’t win
This world is on loan from God – that’s why
and when we see our brother cry
from pain or sorrow – we should help their Tomorrow
be brighter and better – we should Love
Love can be good or evil, depending on the Wolf.
Feed the Good Wolf always and all ways
the jealousy which abounds is found
to help – not harm – to set a seal on your arm
You will feel the calm; not storm
You will feel the warm comfort
Not the hurt by lovers
who feed the Bad Wolf – they will never Win
Love is what fills the cracks; love attacks
what is wrong like controlled fire, its flame
takes claim to deceit, its Kindle
will dwindle problems with solutions
Love is not the pollution – nor will it tolerate
Pollution – love omits confusion
through checks and balances and obligation
Our mythical facinations omitted by real Love.
They didn’t win – when our lives battle the
Trickery – like a hickory tree ignited with lava
Controlled love gently helps in moulding
Love empowers us to Stop The Wicked from holding the Bad Wolf.
Satanic Cults, Deceitful Cultures,
Secret Societies, and lies love Lucifer
Because they are not controlled – they
Fission, they fester, they shake and make a Maze
Love is simple, not a maze, it is fueled
by God’s Word, which we have heard
growing up and living up to morals
which society constructed as Standards.
Yes, we Stand. We Stand for each other
When we see their need and feed it
as a Good Wolf, and starve the bad one.
It’s no fun to hate, to deceive. It’s not genuine!
It’s not a diamond but a Fake
And will keep taking if the Bad Wolf is fed
Love builds when it’s controlled
with God’s help. Yet the World is in ruins if the Bad Wolf is fed
Our Federation was founded by fathers who
Loved morals – not tricks
Yet the bad wolves have been growing
by deceiving and showing a fake allegiance!
These Bad Wolves didn’t win!
If we can determine and call for God's Wrath,
We then can take a new Course, have a new Course.
Justice is what elects the right path –
It’s pathetic when we close our eyes to this
and allow the lovers of Corruption to grow!
and we wonder what caused the Volcano
to erupt, the microwaves to obstruct, the earth to be disturbed.
They didn’t win because “We See” inspite of Deceit.
We complete the earthquake Equasion of Ruination
by solutions – expose confusion – and
Real Eyes – realize we can’t engulf (or wolf-down) - sumination
Our emancipation needs moral love from above
For the Luciferians destroy people like toys
They didn’t win, because we are standing
and taking Command of our ships!
The evil storms shipped by evil geo-engineers
Have not used their eyes to see or ears to hear
Justice detaches from this evil and is applied like a Blanket
of fairness, impartiality, detachment, fair-mindedness
And once this mess faces Justice
The Controlled lava of Love which erupts
will feed not the Wolf that corrupts
but the one which gives heed, loves what is Good.
They didn’t win and never can!
Their love for studying war
Will collapse on their laps!
Time may lapse and they will keep trying
To terrorize, yet our eyes are on the prize!
As we take the Stand and let them implode on themselves!
As our heels take the Bold Stand
And our hands reach out as God’s Hands
Are our moral commands – our fire
Which makes us tirelessly tarry
For that which helps Mankind,
Rather than destroys minds and lives.
Love controlled this way calms
The Evil Wind that tries to attain
By taking instead of making
The sun comes out again – because they didn’t Win!
He who is
transplanted, sustains
He who is transplanted
Sustains freedom
Which comes from
His enduring,
His ensuring,
His encouraging
To confirm his
Homeland.
His hand tells
Us his heart
Which is a part
Of who he is
For he is doing.
Contributing to
Our homeland
With his skills
And he wills
For himself –
For ourselves
Prosperity, unity,
Generosity
As we, too
Extend and brace
That which is ours
By the grace
Of God.
Leaving and coming,
He brings with him
Experiences as
Bearer of fruit
From trial and error
He comes
With hope
To cope
And give;
To live
In his new home
With an ocean
White with foam.
And he lifts
His head to forge
And surge for
Sustanence
To survive
And support
Each life’s worth
As gold –
As any
Precious
Metal
As he settles
What is now
And to be
Home of the free.
Industry
fills the hives
And enjoys
the honey
Industry filled the hives
And our lives are
Graced with honey.
We now take this money
To make today
What it is
And will be.
Our city
Used to be
Hardware Capital
Of the world
But fate hurled change.
No place is this now
As rearranging business
Had stressed how
Our world’s economics
Advanced beyond
Yet the bee goes on
And imitates
Our many ways
Mixing, molding
Folding our lives
Into eachother
As neighbors
Caring for each to bee
Creating one honey
Unique to our society.
We work toward goals
And share our souls
To bring solutions-
Creating fruitions
For us all.
It is what we are called
To do as beings.
New Britain
Became
Because
Of those
Who came
And gave
Of themselves.
Today we savor
Our past as
We move to
Our present
Enjoying
Accomplishments
In history,
A true mystery
Of omniscience
Since
Those who paved
Permanent change
Paved so with
Courage – facing fear
In war – defense
Keeping freedom
Our permanent allegiance –
New Britain extends
Its existence today
Reaching out for
Development –
Improvement –
A locomotion
Of motion moving
Toward goals
That work today.
Our city radiates
From past fulfillments
Knowing we are meant
To go on shining
With our history lining
Our values, our ambitions,
Our illuminating dictions,
Unifying our crowd
To make one city proud.
The Jewish
People
Carry faith in their hearts
With great wisdom
From their great past
They bring and reach
Embracing what is now.
Just how they do it,
I don’t know.
Their growth shows
A deep love for the world
As all belonging to God.
They began with 12 tribes
Of Abraham
Imparting their heritage
As heroes forging in time
Sustaining who they are
Every time they are attacked.
They seek to give back
To God, even heartbroken
From turmoil, civil turbulence
Every chance they get.
For the Jews are
A people of peace
Striving for prosperity
To all underprivileged
As a privilege to God.
Steadfast they are
Immanent their domain.
Immersed in life.
Immaculate in birth.
Surely we see
Our fellow Jews
As a special people
Implementing answers
To questions
To improve our
World’s view.
Known for their prudence
In every sense
They cherish each wish,
Aspiration, longing,
Perspicacity
Using every capacity
They have
To generate
Goodness
Through their
Industrious
Spirits.
The Postal
Clerk
My eyes
half-closed, I get closer
to the
door of the Post Office.
It is
such a routine, like
I know
I can expect perfection –
I want
this-this way and that-that
And
I’ll say this and they do just that.
It’s a
ballet of work –
They
perk, aware of all
taking
small requests to heart.
Each
part of their day includes
checking
– over and over – making
their
service surpass – fly
as the
eagle who soars for
freedom
– they come to us
to
support ours – in communication.
My
contemplation of this only covers
whatever
I know, not much, but a touch
Of what
they do – and they do
their
job following rules, processes –
taking
messes of mail making
it
deliverable efficiently – safely;
yes,
safely for us – as we know
it can
be dangerous – as we know
it is
for them as well as us
for all
mail is not safe
-bombs,
chemicals can be enclosed
and
they have to know what to do.
We
think, maybe, their job is easy
even
when they ballet their work.
We’d be
wrong in that case
for
they face the troubles and trials
of all
facets of the right way
in
processing, preparing, sharing and safety
and we
are lucky to have this system
that
works in unity – as one entity;
which
includes our dedicated workers
who
give of themselves to make things sail;
who
give of themselves to move the mail.
They walked through a storm
One
never fought before.
More
people died, crying,
Trying
to stay alive –
Trying
to just survive.
This
storm happened
Which
must accept
And
embrace those who wept
And
swept up the remains
And
seek to find reason.
Yet we
must see it as a season
for it
just happened
And it
is now a part
of our
hearts, our souls,
And out
of this will blossom
our strength
for justice – for peace
as we
see every single piece
of what
was – is no more.
For all
of us we trust
in
unity, in dignity, and deny
all
evil, all lies, all takes.
We
indeed can make
our
lives sustaining
no
matter how transplanted we feel.
Each real
piece of ourselves
is
still out there and can be seen
and can
be felt, and can be heard.
Our
words reach
As we
teach
As we
learn
As we
discern
wrong
from right.
We must
fight this war
And let
us go on
depending
on
what is
right and just.
Slipping
into despair,
you may
lose your care
you may
not share
what
has been taken –
what
has shaken
you.
You
must
see that we
belong
together as a community
and
know your hurt as reality.
So – go
– don’t stop.
Or stay
–
Whatever
makes you okay.
But
keep doing
Using
what God gave you;
for if
you stay true
to who
you are
you are
and always
will be
on top.

Dr. Mel Goldstein, RIP
How To
Weather The Storm
He’s a
weatherman –
Treasured
First
by Arlene
And
then by Brenda
And
relatives also show –
And
then by friends;
And
then by friends
He
doesn’t know.
He
keeps going
And
showing us storms
When
they come through.
I never
knew his
Own
storm continues.
He’s a
man who only
Knows
how to reach
Not
keeping but giving
Gracefully
focusing on living –
His
spirit so strong
And
steadfast – he’ll outlast
Us all
if God measures our lives
Us by
present and past.
I
called the State Police
One
day, worried about
The
weather and how
The
roads would turn out.
He
immediately said
So
enthusiastically,
Don’t
you listen to
Dr. Mel
– he
Tells
you what you need to see.
So,
what do I know;
I know,
not much.
I
promised myself
I’d
stay in touch.
But
most of all,
I’m
truly grateful
For
what you teach
About
life – for life
Can be
so hard to reach.
I thank
you, Dr. Mel,
My
weatherfriend.
And I
pray
Future
fractures will
Instead
be just bends.
And I
pray your heart
Keeps
it rhythm
And I
see the crew
Will
carry their torch for you,
always,
with them.
As Ann
Nyberg said,
She
loves you and your smiling,
And I’m
glad your mail
Keeps
on piling.
The
sunflower gives hope
For it
picks up rays first
and then
reports to the crop
after
it quenches its thirst.
Yes,
you are our sunflower, no doubt.
You
know everything, just about.
And I
thank you for your reports
I know
your wisdom comes from the right force.
I know
your heart always carries a song:
“It’s better
to live life as an optimist and be wrong
than as
a pessimist and be right.”
May we
help you stay strong in your graceful fight.
Firefighters
in Action
Together
is the only way,
Weathering
each fire.
They
take away
The
unknown – knowing
Through
strength, each length
They
conquer is one less
Going
on for more.
War,
it is,
Yet
this is
Simply
wrong.
Being
strong and
Carrying
on their business
Is
what carries them through.
Each
hand holds
In
a congruency,
Fluently
they put it out.
Each
foot is placed,
Covering
each trace
Of
their tracks.
No
one looks back,
Only
forward, toward the blaze
-to
fight this unknown craze.
They
use best guesses,
Yet
these messes have a mind
Of
their own and they have shown
Their
control of destruction,
Which
sometimes includes loss of health,
Even
loss of life – loss of wealth.
Such
anguish, lamentation
Yet
their meditations make
Their
investigations take turns
Toward
better tomorrows.
We
may have lost,
But
we’ve gained more
For
each fire battle
Is
truly fought for
Peach
and Prevention.
Their
immovable intention
Is
to break down
Barriers
they tread
Instead
of acceleration.
Their
fascination
is
in solutions.
We
salute all of you
Who
died for this cause,
Braving
each call,
Your
bravery lives on in those
Who
are still here, facing fear
With
your spirit in it.
In
each ember
We
remember
You.
Dale
Chihuli
He’s
brought art out
in
his glass-sculpting,
catapulting
our imaginations,
filling
our sensations
with
color known by no other
but
Nature herself.
His
art is personal,
Portraying
his excitement for life,
Almost
losing his once.
His
pondering brought on a ponderous,
Illustrious
work with his team.
It
seems he makes color dance,
Dazzling
your eye, you can’t
Forget
how you fealt
In
its presence, so profound.
I
found his glasswork describing
and
reflecting and even saying
what
it is in the heart of the artist.
The
light kisses his work
each
time, looking distinct.
The
memory sinks in your soul,
and
you carry this feeling of wholeness.
It
is peace – beauty – a call to duty,
allegiance,
obligation, province. It is Providence
since
the colors combine with luster.
Each glass cluster
Was
sculpted as one.
And
they combine; they bring on
Performance
– an orchestration,
an
illustration of comprehension
which
words cannot express
(what
you are sensing)
as
capricious as it is,
It
is radiance – dancing.

1990), “Put It There”(1975), “Glance, Protugal”(1967), “Mourning,
Portugal”(1969), “Wide UB”(1991). They
had been on display at the New Britain Museum of Art in New Britain, CT.
Behind the lense
were two eyes who
saw the world as One.
She visioned all as same.
Fame only meant more work
to her; though work was her signature.
Linda McCartney – who blossomed with Paul;
All she was – was shared with those familiar
with her heart.
She lived as a part
of the world, majestically photographing
the complex – extracting the simple
showing us when all’s said and done;
When the bare-nakedness is shown;
We are each other’s own – part of One.
She uplifted our spirits, uplifting with Hope
She tied the knot and held onto her rope.
I sorely miss her now that I’ve seen
Her works, her life, and what she’s been.
I can only grasp her outstretching, forgetting
About fear – feeling her mystery of photography.
The Hero
A hero is measured by
Facing
fear for right.
Those
who might feel
They
did not win
for
again and again
No
one saw results.
Their
works were
Were
not in vain,
For
there were results!
For
you were there!
You
stood by actively using
Your
talents that went noticed.
You
focused on right with support.
Every
effort was a shear display
Of
loyalty, disregarding your self’s
Outward
needs for those beliefs within.
And
you do win by not giving in!
Yes,
a hero is one who dares to dispense
Which
breaks down the fence of evil
Reducing
the distance between right and wrong.
It’s
not how strong or long your ammo lasts,
Or
how many blasts you created –
A
hero is simply one who is there,
Facing
fear with whatever they can do.
Thinking
not of themselves, but simply of
“You”.
Don’t feel like you have to please everyone to keep your ill loved one comfortable. It may backfire, for people can try to control you – even lie to you. Focus on the one suffering and what they want.
Sick people lose their emotional defenses and must
be all the more protected being with those who will support, not destroy.
If you haven’t already done so, begin a book to the
loved one you lost – write to them in it.
What you share is between you and them.
Tell them of your sorrows, your aspirations, your sweet memories. If you can’t write, talk in a tape and save
the recorded messages.
Get help with this – from a social worker, friend,
or other resource, if need be. Knowledge
is power. Use that power. Don’t let anyone take that from you. I say this from experience and understanding
that, particularly if you are alone with this, it is easy to emotionally give
in to others who you even know are wrong.
It is easy to trust them despite your concerns, for you may want their
support. But you must be strong. Follow your concerns. Speak to others who will give you advice –
even off the record before acting. Even
your sharing helps you think things through.
If you belong to a church you feel safe and secure in, connect with your
church.

In The
Middle Of The Night
I go
walking in my sleep
From
the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
To a river so deep
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

Ice II
This ice from history
Brings mystery and fear
For everywhere you look
You look for it – the ice,
Which could make your ship
Stop, and even die.
It’s so beautiful, glimmering
In the sunlight, almost speaking
With what it’s made of
For it hides nothing.
This thing of ice owns.
To each one who looks on
They must know this as they move on
Into the vast water.
Whatever you do, you see
Before – for you have to –
To partake of the ocean.
This great ice
Invites yet warns
By Being
For it stays
With such great strength.
It’s length, what you see –
Height is twice what.
You thought simply,
“how do I get around?”
When you’ve found
a way, you achieved –
not retreated.
For no one can
Defeat everything.
One can only
View the thing
And decide
To detour.
So when they tour
That place again
They blend better
By enduring and
Admiring this Piece
From our Past.
At last we
Can see
Beauty in
Becoming –
In Being;
Strength in
Longevity
Existing,
Resisting
Wisdom in
Collecting,
Depositing the
Past into Now.
How else could
We co-exist –
And we do
Need to – for what
You’ve found
Is Being.

FRIENDSHIP
Friendship is nothing
If its worth isn’t known
Render it rightly
truly and sound
Inspect it with caution
and give it the same
Everlasting friendship
is something of fame
Never falsify it
always be true
Do justily by others
and they will by you
So stable your friendship
and soon you will see
Harbor no grudges
and your mind will be free
Instigate friendship
with a smile on your lips
Put hate in the fire
and warm up your friendships.

A GRANDFATHER’S SPECIAL LOVE
What
could be more wonderful
Than a
grandfather’s special love—
He
always seems to know the things
That
we are fondest of,
He’s
always ready with a smile
Or a
loving word of praise.
His
laughter always brightens up
The cloudiest
of days.
He has
an understanding heart
That
encourages and cheers.
The
love he gives so freely
Grows
deeper with the years.
His
wisdom and devotion
Are
blessings from above –
Nothing
could be more wonderful
Than a
grandfather’s special love.

Are Special
Take
Courage
Sometimes you don’t know what’s gonna hit you,
It’s true.
And you can’t prepare
Because it’s there
And you have to deal with it.
So Commit.
Commit yourself to the problem
To create a solution
And to destroy the Pollution
It may have caused already.
When you think you can’t,
You can, really
Maybe this can grant
You the new lease you need
To grow,
I don’t know.
All I know is
You can’t
Stop trying
Or you start dying inside.
The place you cried
Can bring about
Roots,
For our own Roots Come from many tears
Which were shed before us.
Those who tried—
Those who cried before us
With love.
So—
As you go on
(Which is what we were meant to do)
Bring with you that love
That will be with you
Even to the very Edge
And as you look over that edge,
Your eyes will go on
With Hope
As you Take Courage.

I am wearing Black today for Travon

This guy has no worth
Black is worn in history

He was okay
He did nothing wrong
And wrong should be
Gone from the courts
Which only feed lies
Which only disguise
Freedom
It is time

Was not halucinations

United to fight back
We come today

And the Russo was promoted to a judge by Gov Malloy - took part in the Sandy Hook Report of Danbury Court - claiming 26 people died, etc = big fat lies! Yet no one holds them accountable.

Who’ll Stop The Rain?
There’t the train
Tracks
Telling you where it had been
Living through wind, snow, and rain.
It still goes
And shows up
Even up to the very last moment,
This train.
Just look
Beyond
You’ll find
Yours—
Through tours
In life
Staying on
Your Path
Your Tracks
Your Train
And when
It rains
It will be
From disparity—
Some your fault,
Some your fate.
Either way
It will tell
Ypu—do
Something
To stay on track
Go back in time
Only enough
To view—to learn
Then turn—
Your tracks HAVE to turn.
And you’ll keep going
Which is what tracks
Are showing you.
It’s okay to
Wear the blue
Rain—for however long
It will make you strong.
Yes, the blue
Tells you
Simply, that’s Life
And life can be hard—
Hard as a train—
Hard as tracks—
Keep your eyes on
The blue—
Beyond the rain
And do what
Will make it stop
While you’re on your track
And don’t worry
Other trains help you gain
Back what the rain
May have taken.
Remember—
Rain brings on
The Sun.
Rain brings
Growth.
Rain brings
Being.
Seeing who you are
--and why….
You may cry
For being can be hard.
Keep your eyes on
The blue—
The true—
The few who
Can help you
Stop the rain.

This isn't a poem but an essay...ironically, the crooked administration approached me and kicked me out of school...there was not incident. I was on my way to have dinner in the cafeteria before I took my 3-hr class. I never got my rights. They refused to let me be on campus. They denied my right for a hearing. The Student Gov had a copy of my request and said they couldn't help me because it was school break and "don't communicate to us anymore."

What A Wonderful
World
A long
time ago I wrote a personal essay on this song which was sung by Louis
Armstrong. I don’t have it handy right now, but I just
heard Garrison Keillor and his guest sing this song and it brought tears to my
eyes. My father always reacted to this
song when he saw it on TV. For a while
it was on commercials on littering and poverty.
Devestating pictures of littered landscapes, slums, children with barely
a stitch on them, and more were shown. I
counted my blessings when I saw those commercials.
Today I
hear this song sung by a greatly-admired artist as well as another artist who
is well accomplished. My reaction to it
is different. I feel shame. Though our land is not the Promised Land
(Isreal), it is a land of promise. The
Chinese named our country “Beautiful Country”.
(pinyin is “Meigoren”, for American; I think I spelled that right) When
I think about all the trickery and dishonesty I have personally experienced,
along with being subjected to assaults, I sit almost frozen in time.
I am
taking the Chinese language as my choice of an international language to speak
at the university I am attending. The
Chinese have been well-known for their industrialism, their hard-work, their
focus. President George H. W. Bush (the
father) implemented programs to encourage the Chinese to come to the United
States and also encourage doing business with China. Since that time, we have enjoyed more of a
recognition and appreciation for their contributions, to include working
together.
As we
as individuals do what we can to be productive contributions to our world, can
we see how much materialism exists? This
does not mean everyone should be poor. I
am only saying material value is a precedent over the value of a person. This has lead to corruption and the chipping
away of the very essence of what the United States is obligated to be. We have existed NOT because of one certain
race (though I must say, if any race should be the primary race, the American
Indian should be since they were here first and enjoyed Squatter’s
Rights).
Choice
is what named this country as beautiful.
Choice is what has driven this country in its successes as well as
failures. Choice is what can turn it
around. Holding those accountable for
wrongdoing, rather than serving beaurocracy, is one particular way of turning
it around. When someone is harmed, they
should be able to get their rights, not be continuously knocked down by
beaurocracy , to be more harmed, to feed into their corruption. Corruption is NOT beauty. Corruption is not WONDER.
I
believe our world has hope – just because of a song like this, which still has
value to most of us. I believe that the
wonder in our world includes the strength to stand up for peace, stand up for
prosperity, stand up for accountability.
It is one thing to make a mistake, yet even mistakes need to be
recognized and corrected. It is another
to be so integrated in corruption that one stopped exercising their sense of
right and wrong, for it is all about trickery, greed, and power. They suffocate our land, they pollute our
land even more than the trash – the littering.
Let’s move away from those who choose this way of life. These life choices will indeed help us live
our lives in the peace and prosperity which this country was intended for –
which this world was intended for.
Peace.

Q: Crocheting Club
I don't think I failed-up like Tavis Smiley describes in his book, but I sure failed on this one. Little did I know that GHW Bush was a CIA man and managed the 8 snipers who were only there for distraction so tranny Jackie Kennedy could blow off JFK's head and get away with it. That is just a small example. I am sure he was a key planner of September 11. It is estimated that 125 people were the key planners. The 9/11 Commission was just as dishonest as the Warren Commission - and voila, Elizabeth Warren took after her father. I think that judge was her father.
Dear President Bush,
Wishing you
much rest and recovery, Sir.
I’m no Billy
Collins, but this poem is for you.
ALL THE BEST
He’s our
President who gave all his Best
Despite the
poor imagery of the Press
Believing in
Transformation
Dedicated
for the Duration
He’s our
President who loved letters
Believing
that America can be better
He Never
Gives Up – Never Gives In
He looks to
our future – not where we’ve been
If ever
there was one who could turn the table
President
Bush would when we thought he wasn’t able
All his
heart – he gives
Just because
he lives
For we are
all meant To Be
We are all
meant to Live Free
For that
purpose We Stand
For that
purpose we must Understand
We must not
undermine
We must
always be kind
Dear
Gracious President Bush,
I do
appreciate your Presidential Push
I do
appreciate your Belief in our Nation
Under God,
Under Good, with endless creation
I believe
you got sick from a premonition
I believe
God told you – you have a new mission
I believe
your sorrow is so great for Sandy Hook
I believe
now more than ever you want to eradicate every crook
Sir, let go
of this load, please, so you can feel better
We
understand – from reading your letters
We
understand you want common good to win
We
understand you expect we can
Take good
care, Mr. President, for I care too
Get rid of
that bronchitis – get rid of that flu
Picture
flying with family to your favorite place
May God fill
you with Serenity; fill you with Grace
Sir, I
really get it – you want us to be Kind
-
To rid ourselves of negativity which clogs the
mind
I wish you
get continued good rest
And I wish
you, Sir all MY best.
Sincerely,
Annie

Q: Crocheting Club
What was your biggest crocheting success?
crocheting
a rick-rack pattern while recovering from severe head injury in the hospital.
Was in isolation for a month after I got out of ICU. It turned out very crooked
on the sides - color was gold and black and white. I saved that afghan because
it meant so much to me - I shall overcome - MLK's words resonate in my heart
still today....I saved it in my storage unit which I rented since 1999. Though
I paid my rent every month, the management stole my possessions and auctioned
them off November 2012. Police said "It's a civil matter" despite the
obvious theft! I had a $500 antique sewing machine and more! My pictures of
that unit were all destroyed by Sprint - so they could help the corrupted. I
was given no message or provided any status warning, despite the many times I
had to call them due to poor service when I needed it most. That afghan was
definitely my biggest success - even over the first oversized slipper I made
when I was ten years old. I was hit head-on by a state sander truck full of
sand, 20 tons. Despite being in the hospital for 3 1/2 months and crutches for
another three - I recovered. I overcame. I did not need more surgery. Yet a
woman who was only in the hospital 10 days with 1/10th of the injury I had,
went back to the doctors for years and had phys therapy apparatus in her
father's house - her lawsuite was enormous. I settled out of court, finding the
whole system corrupted and UNUSEFUL. I wanted my life back. I felt like that
politician may have even got that sander truck to hit me, since he found his
daughter to be a gold mine....My father brought me up right! Independence is
what this country is founded on. I had to do my own phys therapy - riding bike,
especially. And I recovered better than that woman did, unless her whining was
all a fake mask to build more of a case. No doubt, I was an embarrassment for
that politician. Too bad. I am glad he was not my father.
One
more thing. When I consider the fact that soldiers and sailors who defend our
country's freedom, and they cannot sue when they lose limbs, get permanently
disabled, even die - I am at peace. I feel blessed. I think, therefore I
crochet.
Just something to break up the monotany
Many notes were deleted on my
computer, right in front of my eyes, so my computer is being viewed by someone
– if it is my favorite person, that is fine. I don’t understand, but that is
fine. I better go to sleep because if this is my favorite person, I want my
favorite person to sleep.
the author seems to persuade
the reader of Andrea Yates' character as being stand-offish, yet did she even
know?...Andrea Yates didn’t socialize much outside of work. She was
a registered nurse at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center of
Houston. That night she’d decided to get dressed up and take herself to a nice
restaurant. Watching the other couples there, she was inspired to knock on
Rusty Yates’s door on her way back to her apartment. She was shy, and
the ding on her car was as good a reason as she was ever going to find to say
