Sara - You ad I have been poetic and online buddies for many months, and I've come to appreciate how you write. From your tribute to "Mom," I recommend your writing at length on subjects with which you feel special connections.
I am a better and more spiritual person after having read your work. Although a Christian, I have had to find my own way through all the man-made falderal, and absolutes, therein. Thank you for doing this piece, and in being genuine throughout its telling. Anyone who reads this is bound to be better for it. The word, Honesty," comes to mind... and that's enough for me. -Friend Bill

Simplicity is so under-rated anymore. And don't even get me started on the ridiculousness of "fashion boots". Your article was humourous but full of excellent advice.
Road Warrior Cries the Blues (Short Story) - 10/8/2004 7:57:07 AM
Nice to hear from another wise seasoned traveler, and some wonderful advice, Sara. I just wish others would heed it and learn. I got so tired of the constant hassles and delays caused by the people you speak of, I now drive most everywhere; and I'm much happier these days.
Truly hope frequent fliers heed your sage advice.

You musta seen the joy on their faces...Everybody just started to laugh and the tention was gone!!

I was going to suggest you send for Ed (Kostro that is) but I see he has already called in! We do have snakes in the UK, Adders, but I have only ever seen one, many years ago, while eight months pregnant, I had a mad urge to climb down a cliff in Whitby to pick wild flowers and I very nearly sat on an adder that was basking in the early morning sun.

Sorry to say, I'd have to agree with you, Sara! A harmless baby garter snake, and your hubby's name is Ed, too - Double Shame!
Really enjoyed this; and so glad you weren't afraid of Baby Snake. He probably wanted to help you meditate since snakes are very good at it - sometimes never moving for days - while they think.

A Letter to Mankind (Article) - 8/16/2008 9:21:06 PM
It is true that Human Beings are stupid. They prepare war, they prepare killing each other, they prepare famine, they prepare innocent children to die, they prepare cancer, and they prepare to poison the world. And because of their beliefs or ideologies - Religion, Science and Politics - they prepare to destroy life. If they can only think deeper, that aside for looking a decent meal, the main purpose of life is nothing more but to enjoy it with fun to the fullest...AOUIE

I never could understand the concept of desiring to plagerize. How can you possibly consider yourself creative if you don't create? I can't even use a pattern in sewing or crafts because of this. Maybe I'm just too prideful, but I can't stand the idea of using somebody else's ideas-- I do however, enjoy twisting ideas to conform with my own. I'm all about twisting... --Charlie

It is unfortunate, Mrs. Coslett, some people do not wish to be confused with the facts. In any event, thank you for this useful information. It reduces five-hundred pages of tax minutiae down to one page of easily understood words. I have found when detractors complain about our country ... they can never name one country that offers a better system or quality of life.

Ruff Work (Article) - 7/26/2007 5:46:14 PM
I agree. This is a wonderful idea and when considered with the cost of other detection devices cost effective. I volunteer Bob Barker to head the program. He is a stance animal lover. Or Betty White would be great. Either one would see that the animals are treated better than our vets and soldiers are. I have a beagle and I believe he and his breed would be wonderful for the job. They are a small-medium sized and are breed to sniff their prey to ground. Wonderful article and great information. Thanks for sharing. Liz
Ruff Work (Article) - 7/17/2007 6:45:36 AM
Excellent idea. I could see tax rebates for training your dog to do something better than attack strangers and neighborhood kids and pets. Traveling with a dog can be an adventure, especia;lly when there are no doggie rooms at the inn.
Saw a guy in a wheelchair (MD?) getting into his van (he drives, like me) yesterday at a hospital with his helper dog on leash. These dogs can be a life saver. But they need care, too. So much so that I decided not to replace my pomeranian after a big dog killed him.

Ruff Work (Article) - 7/16/2007 7:13:22 AM
On the surface, a fine idea, Sara. But having worked for our government, I would never trust it to properly care for our pets. Our valiant veterans are treated most shabbily these days by our government leaders; I can't imagine the horrors man's best friend would be put through.
PS It was also our government that ordered people to 'leave behind' their devoted pets in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's massive destruction.

Tax Cuts - A Simple Lesson In Economics (Article) - 4/18/2007 2:01:05 AM
I would say that it's a bit of a crock in how it's presented as it's presented as a clear metaphor that represents stratification in our society due to economic boundaries and economic relationships. However, the entire metaphor is in a big way flawed, because when the HELL would the four poorest folk eat in the same restaurant with the richest one?
The four poorest are not allowed in the same restaurants, nor would the richest show up if they were. Hence, the poor do pay in other ways that are not represented here. They are hardly getting the "free ride" implied by this article!
I am a Canadian who moved to the UK 7 years go. I will quote a good friend who echoes my thoughts on the Canadian system:
"What are taxes supposed to pay for? Let's think about that. They are supposed to fund public institutions, and pay for the construction and maintenance of publicly used spaces like roads and parks, they are supposed to pay the salaries of public servants, etc. etc. In Canada, our taxes go to pay for other social safety-net things like health care and welfare, etc. These funds are not always handled carefully, and while i'll grant that, I don't believe that keeping them in private hands is a better, or more morally justifiable solution. I think that taxes get wasted mostly by people who forget what they are really for...
This feels especially fresh as the last job I worked at took huge chunks of my salary for taxes. I *felt* that money gone every paycheque. But I still strongly believe in the need for us to all chip in not just enough to make ends meet, but enough to do a good job for everyone who relies on services that taxes pay for." - Roxanne B
I too am happy to pay my taxes and always have been. Although, in the UK, I really do feel my taxes are being pissed mercilessly down a hole.
My trust in all public institutions and the whole idea of a government run for the people has been atom-bombed since moving here. When you're put in situation where your government seems to betray and rob you at every turn and claims that it is acting in the name of the under-privileged, suddenly, right-wing politics looks more tempting. I figure some Americans must feel the same.
Let's use a real-life UK example to extend this metaphor. A three stop subway journey on the now-private "public transport" system is has now hit 4 pounds (yes, that's 10 dollars CAD / 8 US for a 5-minute ride; and almost double what it was 3 years ago (2.20 - 4.00).
Privatization is supposed to encourage the 10th man to stay at the table, and let the natural beauty of "market forces" control pricing, wasted spend. I.e. the capitalist engine keeps the machinery of society lean and fit through healthy competition.
B**shit. In fact privitisation specifically, and the type of thinking represented in this article generally, provide and opportunity for the tenth man to extract this $59 BACK from the 4 poorest by fact that they can't get home from the restaurant without paying his extortionate rates for services he privately owns. He, however, can afford a place next door.
My tears for you... oh tenth man! Please don't abandon the biggest economy in the world, which lets you trample human rights, environmental laws, and buy yourself enough party lobbyist to legalise murder by proxy! Please don't leave the place that considers you it's ultimate achievement and values your precious capital more than any other noun on the earth! You might have a harder time going somewhere where healthcare is on you, transport is on you, pregnant woman go off work on you, and a myriad other atrocious impositions from YOUR EMPLOYEES trying to get a fraction of the quality of life you take for granted.
- Thank you,

Some people took my songs from my songs site and posted them together with Sandie Shaw's and others. See this link for yourself:
http://mp3download.01-mp3search.com/top53-sandie.html
However, they have given me the credits for the songs that I have sung, so I think it is okay.
Also my story "My Psychic Dream" has been copied together with my name and put into another author's site who is a psychic advisor, and then one of my reviews here in the Den in which I had responded to another author's work regarding how I had escaped death when pinned underneath a car is posted in another's site. However, they have all given me the credit for the work I have done, so I have not said anything. I wonder if it is appropriate because these people have not asked for my permission first, even though they have posted my name along with the my songs and posts.
Anyway, most of my work are done instantaneously, i.e. I think, and therefore I write type of style.

Good article! In fact, I'm seriously considering removing your name and posting it on my website.
Just kidding! Lol
Plagiarism in an Online Community (Article) - 8/26/2006 8:14:23 AM
Very interesting and well thought out article! Since plagiarism is a serious thing to accuse someone of, I also applaud you for not naming names.
There could actually be other explanations for someone's apparent copying. For example, a writer may have posted somewhere else, perhaps earlier in their writing career, using other pen names. Or maybe the OTHER person is the one that actually plagiarised from the one that's being accused.
I also know of at least one AD writer that relies very, VERY heavily on public domain works. Which opens up the liklihood that others may have utilized the same public domain items..not always the best (most honest) thing to do, but probably not illegal.
Anyway, I very much respect the way you handled this article by pointing out a potentially serious problem without accusing anyone specifically. Well done.

In my books there is no excuse and they should be named and asked to defend their work in public. If they feel they have the right to plagarize then they should be pointed out.

Plagiarism runs rampant on the Internet, because it's so easily accomplished in this environment. I've found several of my poems and articles displayed on other websites - supposedly penned by someone else! I think it will only get worse.
Plagiarism in an Online Community (Article) - 8/25/2006 1:42:32 PM
Sara,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Once a plagerist, always a plagarist. Like the cleverly-crafted Internet hoaxes and more cleverly Internet viruses, plagarism is a violation of copyright law and criminal.
This person does not need kindly reminders like a five-year-old. This person needs to be exposed and his/her name posted on the Internet as a warning to the unwary.

How Many Terrorists Does it Take... (Article) - 10/20/2004 8:05:58 PM
Very interesting article. Any invention, as well as it may have been intended, can be turned into a killer. Same holds for the internet. The only positive thought which comes to my mind after reading your article is that all negative energies are auto-destructive. Bad feelings such as hatred and pride are like parasites that feed on psychological merits. An enemy motivated by hatred can harm us, but will destroy itself in the long run. Franz

If I hear the word LEAN one more time I just might go crazy. You'll drop everything in your life before work , to stay afloat as you watch everything else sinking. And I'll just say this , husband shoveling the walkway does 10x this winter does not equal the 300 plus meals I've dished out and that is a conservative number. Just ranting. Loved this.

written from the heart and not the head, this is a poem that is honest, and a reminder that life is not easy but worth it. The bliss is in the struggle, for now. Later, the struggle will cease and then we who know the Lord will live in pure joy for eternity. Very good poem!

My partner of 23 years could have written this very poem. While I don't have the rapid onset ALS provides, she has been struggling with my very same needs that grow greater every year until, at some point, she will have to turn it over to others.
Even in tragedies like these, life goes on. Orion will carry the memories. We thought of a similar procedure 20 years ago and actually were able to make do with the good old-fashioned way with no result. However, a social worker advised against us having children because of the strain it would put on her trying to take care of the both of us. I often think of that unborn child, now near graduation from college… An opportunity missed.

To love . . . (Poetry) - 8/2/2014 3:13:20 PM
In the universe there are many divergent and convergent forces - forces of love and destructive forces. We must recognize that certain religions defined eternal things in a way that is not understandable for humans, and even their teachers to not understand.
Every person has the forces of the universe at work in oneself and it is up to everyone to either accept or reject the forces they discover in themselves. The most powerful of all forces is the force of love, which shields us against other forces, and which is not what we currently refer to as physical love.
I invite you to read my poetry, as most of my poems touch this subject, but not all people understand them.
In order to come close to our truth, we should start with a positive attitude towards life, our own body, the forces within it and all we see around us.
Being able to feel oneself may take many years, and when you feel the certainty within yourself you are on the right path.
Love,
Emile

I understand your journey...it is hard to reconcile a God of love with our world as it has become, but The Lord has given us His answer if we'll take the time to hear Him out. Most will not. Because the truth convicts us all, and shows Him to be innocent. Your poem is honest, and a common expression of the human heart, written in a fresh way.

Sorry, Sara, like you, I often feel there is no one to love us.
My problem is that since we have intelligence and reason, why do we keep wondering and searching in spite of ourselves?
What drives science on to discovery is the hint that something is there.
What keeps people from going awol with reality is the hint that just maybe something is there.
It's that hin that keeps me searching.

The Interview With God (Poetry) - 1/26/2013 3:09:13 AM
Faith is indeed a mystery!
But one thing we all know...
We all have a home to go home to.
Be it either a park bench, a tent or a mansion.
It makes little difference really.
Life is NOT what it IS.
IT is HOW we react to LIFE.
After all, there are miserable people in mansions and very happy people in tents!
I have LIVED in TENTS and have marveled at the crispness of the air outside upon waking up. So did a few others...
Still, there were some who yearned and complained wined for the creature comforts of a cozy house.
My motto has been, "Home IS where I hang MY HAT, I MAKE THE VERY BEST of where I am AT!"
That is the motto I have lived by and it's made all the difference in the world!
Still, one thing is for sure, and we can surly agree.
Every atheist this life and every believer in the Lord will one day be gone - yes, we will all disappear.
So I ask, "Where is your Eternal Address?"
You are building the road to your Eternal Address today.
Yes, we all can agree- we have a choice to make.
I know my Eternal Address and I will make the BEST of that Eternity!
Amen!

this is a remarkable piece Sara!
I appreciate reading this so much
and while looking for answers, and
reason after reason why, I feel you
have given us a God Sent Answer:
"No, my love.
Your kind is so young.
Just a few thousand years have passed since your awakening.
I’m sorry yours now and before
Has had to know so much pain.
But, your creation is still evolving.
You are a work yet, undone.
And sadly, perfection takes so much time
To go through all possible permutations
Of good, goodness and the unspeakable.
At least until
ALL
Of mankind
Is willing
To Love . . . "
this helps me so very much
I am so grateful to have seen this
because this is the reason...this is the answer
this is very valid & very wholesome & for me
God Spoke Through You...
Love & Kindred Blessings xx

In regards to your thought on the creator, my latest book is titled "The Late Great God," and it is all about why, if there is a god, does he allow innocent children to be hurt and killed.

Extremely novel way to describe the "rat race" of work,Sara. I like it!
It,unfortunately, does not get any better until one decides to "opt out", i.e.,retire. Even retirement can become too busy,especially when one finally gets to do the things one enjoys.

Hi Sara,
Well, I have had many adventures since we last spoke. I’ve been at death’s door twice, surprising how great the temptation is to resign yourself too it.
However, something inside kept fighting on, I guess you will too.
We,just need to keep taking the tablets.

Sometimes we must seek out that surprise, or actually make up our own. I understand where you're coming from, life gets boring and stale, but sitting back and waiting for something to happens isn't the way to create excitement and/or surprise.
Give Me Strength (Poetry) - 10/13/2012 9:30:22 PM
Liked it very much. Very sensitive poem. Only a good literature may fill the gap for a good poet. This comes in that category...

Yes, your verses do evoke sadness but they also express the angst of the theme that you write about here and that is seemingly timeless and universal in this world/life. Thank you, Sara. Love and best wishes,

This poem seems so sad, Sara. And if these words are a true reflection of your feelings, as I do not know you and as I am not one of religion I, in all honesty, cannot offer truthful words of solace or hope. However, I, as most people, I am sure do go through pitiful times and sometimes, in time, given time, life can become much more bearable as I would hope for you.

Very sad yet lovely poem, Sara.
As it so happens, today there was a homeless man with a dog standing at the on ramp of the freeway but he was to the right of my car (on thewrong side) and, though I took some money from my wallet and was about to open the window and lean across to give it to him, the light changed and as there were cars behind me I went on, but have felt bad about it all day.

I am afraid that is the logo for all mortician politicians of diversity.

Only we dog people can understand the deep sadness that overtakes us when one of our "kids" go to doggie heaven. So sad that it is a fact of our lives that the puppy will grow and live and grow old as we merely grow older. I am ashamed to admit, and think that there may be something wrong with me, but I cried more when my Yorkie, Harry, died than when my mother passed away.
So sorry for your loss, Sara.

very impressed with th imagery and motif, Sara ... perhaps man will always remain a god in the making ...

I SUPPOSE...ONE MIGHT DESIRE TO BE MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE...NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THAT EACH ONE OF US IS ALREADY A PERFECT REPLICA OF THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD WHO MADE US AS HE WANTED US TO BE...BUT...TO BE WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE ONE BE...ONE MUST LEAVE THE REALM OF REALITY AND DWELL IN THE LAND OF MYTHS AND FABLES...YOU THINK? GOOD WRITE. THANKS FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS YOU.

I could not have been a God, no not a God, but I could have been an angel had I tried. --Charlie

Don't you hate it when that happens - slammed down to earth by reality. You are a force to be reckoned with, in these lines that captivate - my new favorite of yours, Sara. Well done!

WHEN THE PRESENCE OF 'TRANQUILITY' TRANSFORMS THE 'REAL' INTO 'SUBLIME'...ALL IS WELL. THE PRESENTATION OF THIS VERY GOOD WORK WAS AWESOME. THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS.

That's a wild ride, for sure. It's a dangerous job, for sure ... the life expectancy of a helicopter pilot in Viet Nam was about 30 hours.
Not so sure what the poem has to do with the video, but it's a great poem.
Blue Thunder (Poetry) - 8/1/2009 5:09:19 AM
well done indeed!
Blue Thunder (Poetry) - 8/1/2009 4:08:58 AM
Very well done and as Karla says very complex, self reflection can be both beneficial but also painful but either way...it is the beginning of a new start...

In praise of Blue Thunder, or against war? Multi-layered complexity in thought provoking lines - well done, Sara.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
Being ex-USAF and the daughter, sister, niece and cousin of Veterans, I loved the video.

How well you write of the anguish of a one sided love! Yes, the endings is superb....and just right.. A great bit of writing, Sara. - Bill

I get the feeling the double negative was intended. Nicely done, Sara.

Despite the pain and resignation, Sara,
there is escape (i hope) in the skill of
your trusty pen. -gene.

There are times when we face ourselves and turn against what is revealed. You say it well, so now you may return to better views of why you live a full life and keep close friends. - Bill

excellent expression-one can feel the angst
