Insprational Thought of the Day

Wed Sep 8, 2010 1:23 PM EDT
health, home, love, heart, love-friends
By Tony Wlliams

Eagle In Flight

Advertise | AdChoices

When you allow your heart to soar freely

When you allow your dreams to roam

When you give hugs with reckless abandon

When you give love to all in your home

When you remember your friends with a smile

When you see the beauty in each day

Nothing is beyond your reach

Your heart and mind will find a way

It's the middle of the week but I thought we could use a good thought to help us all get through the rest of it. A break from all the bickering over politics if you will.

          Special Note for the NV Admin

          Guess I picked up either a troll or an AD while I was resting.

          Thank You for taking care of them in my absence :)

          Poor slobs must not know I report at least 4 AD people a day :)

            Thank You very very much for that :)

            If enough people do that it will get the admins attention and they will delete it and bann the users account. Just before I have to switch locations in the morning and after I get caught up on all the new comments I start watching the live discussion window. I've seen Ad's get seeded while it scrolls down on every thing from dog food sales to porno AD's. Then there is the idiot who will copy someones post and tack on an AD at the end...user name keeps changing but the account name just adds a number with each re-reg.

            The fastest way is mark the comment, copy the user name as a short cut, and then use "Contact NV" at the bottom of the page. I report them as Spam and paste the name in the comment box. Sometimes I also go to the spammers home page and if their seeding AD's I start marking the seeds as AD's so that even if they don't see the email they still get alerted.

              Didn't know there was one. I just hate all those AD's wasting my time when I'm trying to stay up on what's going on in the world. Never know what might be funny, maybe hear how an old friend just did something amazing, and what ever.

                  More than welcome. I've gotten the chance read articles I might never have found if it wasn't for the group and the information contained in them have been a blessing.

                    A really miserable individual is almost always one who can not or will not allow themselves to be loved. Or chases the elusive dream... a person who will never reciprocate their love. Even worse is the person who takes for granted the ones who love them!

                    Very Very True and that is why we must remind them that they are not alone.

                    Hugs are powerful. Beautiful, inspiring piece.

                    Isn't that coincidental? You put up something about eagles in last week's edition of GNW, and here I report an actual eagle sighting in this week's edition. Something might be going on, hmmm?
