It doesn't matter to me if you decided to send this on or delete it, I just thought it was a beautiful story that brought tears to my eyes and I wanted to share it with you.  -- Chris
 
Careful not to delete.  Read to the end and make your choice.
 
'You're not taking that old thing, are you?' Mom said when she saw me packing the yellow shirt.  'I wore that when I was pregnant with your brother in 1954!'
 
'It's just the thing to wear over my clothes during art class, Mom.  Thanks!'  I slipped it into my suitcase before she could object.  The yellow shirt be came a part of my college wardrobe.  I loved it.
After graduation, I wore the shirt the day I moved into my new apartment and on Saturday mornings when I cleaned.
 
The next year, I married.  When I became pregnant, I wore the yellow shirt during big-belly days.  I missed Mom and the rest of my family, since we were in Colorado and they were in Illinois .  But, that shirt helped.  I smiled, remembering that Mother had worn it when she was pregnant, 25 years earlier.
 
That Christmas, mindful of the warm feelings the shirt had given me, I patched one elbow, wrapped it in holiday paper and sent it to Mom.  When Mom wrote to thank me for her 'real' gifts, she said the yellow shirt was lovely.  She never mentioned it again..
 
The next year, my husband, daughter and I stopped at Mom and Dad's to pick up some furniture.  Days later, when we uncrated the kitchen table, I noticed something yellow taped to its bottom.  The shirt!
 
And so the pattern was set.
 
 On our next visit home, I secretly placed the shirt under Mom and Dad's mattress  I don't know how long it took for her to find it, but almost two years passed before I discovered it under the base of our living-room floor lamp.  The yellow shirt was just what I needed now while refinishing furniture.  The walnut stains added character.
In 1975 my husband and I divorced.  With my three children, I prepared to move back to Illinois .  As I packed, a deep depression overtook me.  I wondered if I could make it on my own.   I wondered if I would find a job.  I paged through the Bible, looking for comfort.  In Ephesians, I read, 'So use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will be standing up.'
I tried to picture myself wearing God's armor, but all I saw was the stained yellow shirt.  Slowly, it dawned on me.  Wasn't my mother's love a piece of God's armor?  My courage was renewed.
Unpacking in our new home, I knew I had to get the shirt back to Mother. The next time I visited her, I tucked it in her bottom dresser drawer
Meanwhile, I found a good job at a radio station.  A year later I discovered the yellow shirt hidden in a rag bag in my cleaning closet.
Something new had been added.  Embroidered in bright green across the breast pocket were the words 'I BELONG TO PAT.'
Not to be outdone, I got out my own embroidery materials and added an apostrophe and seven more letters.
Now the shirt proudly proclaimed, 'I BELONG TO PAT'S MOTHER.'  But I didn't stop there.  I zig-zagged all the frayed seams, then had a friend mail the shirt in a fancy box to Mom from Arlington , VA.    We enclosed an official looking letter from 'The Institute for the Destitute,' announcing that she was the recipient of an award for good deeds.
I would have given anything to see Mom's face when she opened the box. But, of course, she never mentioned it.
Two years later, in 1978, I remarried.  The day of our wedding, Harold and I put our car in a friend's garage to avoid practical jokers. After the wedding, while my husband drove us to our honeymoon suite, I reached for a pillow in the car to rest my head.  It felt lumpy.  I unzipped the case and found, wrapped in wedding paper, the yellow shirt.  Inside a pocket was a note:  'Read John 14:27-29.  I love you both, Mother.'
That night I paged through the Bible in a hotel room and found the verses:  'I am leaving you with a gift: peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn't fragile like the peace the world gives..  So don't be troubled or afraid.  Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again.  If you really love me, you will be very happy for me, for now I can go to the Father, who is greater than I am.. I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do, you will believe in me.'
The shirt was Mother's final gift.  She had known for three months that she had terminal Lou Gehrig's disease.  Mother died the following year at age 57.
I was tempted to send the yellow shirt with her to her grave.  But I'm glad I didn't, because it is a vivid reminder of the love-filled game she and I played for 16 years.  Besides, my older daughter is in college now, majoring in art.  And every art student needs a baggy yellow shirt with big pockets.
There's some mighty fine advice in these words, even if you're not superstitious. This has been sent To you for good luck from the Anthony Robbins organization. It has been sent around the world ten times so Far. You will receive good luck within four days of relaying this .
Do not keep this message.  It must leave your hands in 6 MINUTESotherwise you will get a very unpleasant surprise. This is true, even if you are not  superstitious, agnostic, or otherwise faith impaired.
Now, here's the FUN part! Send to:
1-4 people: Your life will improve slightly.
5-9 people: Your life will improve to your liking.
9-14 people: You will have at least 5 surprises in the next 3 weeks
Faith is the pause between God's plan and seeing it come to pass!

Seems there's something for everyone, until it comes to the people who made that something possible in the first place.  Thought you might appreciate this.




What the HELL's wrong???


WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!


Tuesday's Daily Bulletin paper, ran two articles on the front page side by side :


1- Calif 's 20 Billion Dollar Budget Deficit


2- The Calif Supreme Court ruling that ILLEGALS can attend college and get benefits.


Why don't they just deport them when they arrive to register?


3- Last year they ran an article on the yearly costs to Calif Taxpayers from Illegals using Hospital Emergency Rooms for their general health care

At just one hospital the cost to tax payers totaled over $25  million a year 

Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!

We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.???????????

In the last months we have provided aide to Haiti , Chile, and Turkey. Now it's Pakistan .....home of bin Laden.  Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!


They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when its time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?

 
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.

AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter,  children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc,etc.


YET...................

They had 'Benefits'  for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.



WE CAN NOW ADD JAPAN TO THE LIST OF COUNTRIES WHO WILL RECEIVE BILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS TO AIDE WITH FOOD, SHELTER, CLOTHING, MEDICINE, AND GENERAL SUPPLIES AS WELL AS THE REBUILDING OF JAPAN (AGAIN). 
Yes, I feel bad for them however, tell me...which countries gave aid to New Orleans or Florida after hurricanes or Californina after earthquake(s) or... well, you get the idea.

Just imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.

Sad isn't it?


98% of people won't have the guts to forward this (also very sad).
I'm one of the 2% - I Just Did!

  TYSON FOODS ELIMINATES LABOR DAY IN FAVOR OF  MUSLIM HOLIDAY 

Tyson Food in Shelbyville , Tennessee has eliminated  Labor Day as a paid
holiday in favor of the last day of Ramadan because they  have 700 Muslim
employees. The fact that they have almost that many  non-Muslim employees is
beside the point apparently!

I  will no longer purchase any Tyson  products.  It's just one more little

Subject: Fw: What do people fear most



You might say this defines a dramatic difference between
Americans and deadbeats ! ! ! - - - - - 

I have read this before (pretty funny!) but the numbers by Prof Olson are new and quite eye opening….

Suzi Jordan

WHAT DO PEOPLE FEAR MOST??

This is pathetic, but darn funny/serious when you think about it for a second.

Two magazines, Country Living (95.99% white readership) and Ebony /Jet (99.99% black readership) did surveys on....

"WHAT DO PEOPLE FEAR MOST?" The results were interesting, to say the least...

Country Living magazine's top three answers were:
1. Nuclear war/terrorist attack in U.S
2. Child/spouse dying
3. Terminal illness

Ebony / Jet magazine's top three answers were:
1. Ghosts
2. Dogs
3. Registered mail

No Kidding... And these are the people who put Obama over the top; what would you expect?

AND TO GO ALONG WITH ALL OF THIS, I'LL SHARE TWO QUOTES; ONE PITIFUL AND ONE GREAT!

"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me, as we change it."-- Barack Obama

''Life's tough, pilgrim, and it's even tougher if you're stupid.'' John Wayne

Read on!!!!
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning November's Presidential election:

            Number of States won by: Obama: 19 -  McCain: 29
            Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 -  McCain: 2,427,000
            Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million -  McCain: 143 million
            Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 - McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds:

"In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of what Obama is doing, then by all means, delete this message.

If you are not, then you might want to pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake.

OBAMA'S COLLEGE ROOMMATE SPEAKS OUTBy Wayne Allyn Root , June 6th, 2010

Barack Hussien Obama is no fool.
 He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. 
Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of '83). He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled. Look at his Czars...anti-business..anti- american. As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one,  Barack Hussien Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. 
Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game 
plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. 
Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it..
 
Universal health care . The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it 
cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression? 
Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.
The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "
spread the wealth around." 
Make Puerto Rico a state.  Why?  Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Barack Hussien Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add 
two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants
. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security .
 
Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? 
It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). 
All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
 
Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of 
voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the
system. 

Add it up and you've got 
the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan . 
True per snopes!

Fw: Fwd: FW: London Daily Telegraph

How could one "man" tick off 18 Nations or Organizations !!!!!! 
 
The American people  can now more readily 'understand' why the Obama's were omitted  from the guest list to the Royal wedding in April!  This  is a very sobering article.  Our handling of relationships  with the Britons over the oil spill don't help  either.
 

From The London Daily Telegraph Editor On Foreign  Relations

Quote:

"Let me be  clear: I'm not normally in favor of boycotts, and I love the  American people.  I holiday in their country regularly, and  hate the tedious snobby sneers against the United States.   But the American people chose to elect an idiot who seems  hell bent on insulting their allies, and something must be done to  stop Obama's reckless foreign policy, before he does the dirty on  his allies on every issue."

One of the most poorly kept  secrets in Washington is President Obama's animosity toward Great  Britain , presumably because of what he regards as its sins while  ruling Kenya (1895-1963).

One of Barack Hussein Obama's  first acts as president was to return to Britain a bust of Winston  Churchill that had graced the Oval Office since 9/11.  He  followed this up by denying Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on his  first state visit, the usual joint press conference with  flags.

The president was "too tired" to grant the leader of  America 's closest ally a proper welcome, his aides told British  journalists.

Mr. Obama followed this up with cheesy gifts  for Mr. Brown and the Queen. Columnist Ian Martin described his  behavior as "rudeness personified." There was more rudeness in  store for Mr. Brown at the opening session of the United Nations  in September.  "The prime minister was forced to dash through  the kitchens of the UN in New York to secure five minutes of face  time with President Obama after five requests for a sit down  meeting were rejected by the White House," said London Telegraph  columnist David Hughes.  Mr. Obama's "churlishness is  unforgivable," Mr. Hughes said.

The administration went  beyond snubs and slights last week when Secretary of State Hillary  Clinton endorsed the demand of Argentine President Cristina  Kirchner, a Hugo Chavez ally, for mediation of Argentina's  specious claim to the   Falkland Islands , a British dependency  since 1833. The people who live in the Falklands, who speak  English, want nothing to do with Argentina.  When, in 1982,  an earlier Argentine dictatorship tried to seize the Falklands by  force, the British -- with strong support from President Ronald  Reagan -- expelled them.

"It is truly shocking that Barack  Obama has decided to disregard our shared history," wrote  Telegraph columnist Toby Young. "Does Britain 's friendship really  mean so little to him?"  One could ask, does the friendship  of anyone in the entire world mean anything to him?

"I  recently asked several senior administration officials,  separately, to name a foreign leader with whom Barack Obama has  forged a strong personal relationship during his first year in  office," wrote Jackson Diehl, deputy editorial page editor of the  Washington Post, on Monday. "A lot of hemming and hawing ensued."   One official named French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but his  contempt for Mr. Obama is an open secret.  Another named   German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But, said Mr. Diehl, "Merkel too  has been conspicuously cool toward Obama."

Mr. Obama  certainly doesn't care about the Poles and Czechs , whom he has  betrayed on missile defense.   Honduras   and Israel also  can attest that he's been an unreliable ally and an unfaithful  friend.  Ironically, our relations with both  Israel and  the Palestinian Authority have never been worse.   Russia has  offered nothing in exchange for Mr. Obama's abandonment of missile  defense.  Russia and China won't support serious sanctions on   Iran.  Syria 's support for terrorism has not diminished  despite efforts to normalize diplomatic relations.  The  reclusive military dictatorship that runs Burma has responded to  our efforts at "engagement" by deepening its ties to North  Korea .

And the Chinese make little effort to disguise their  contempt for him.

For the first time in a long time, the  President of the United States is actually distrusted by its  allies and not in the least feared by its adversaries.  Nor  is Mr. Obama now respected by the majority of Americans.   Understandably focused on the dismal economy and Mr. Obama's  relentless efforts to nationalize and socialize health care,  Americans apparently have yet to notice his dismal performance and  lack of respect in the world community. They soon  will.

Subj: FW: The Green Thing
 
 


I can relate to this.
 
 
In line at the grocery store, I heard the cashier tell the older woman that plastic bags weren't  good for the environment.
The woman apologized to her and explained, "We didn't have the green thing back in my day. "
 
That's right, they didn't have the green thing in her day.
Back then, they returned their milk bottles , Coke bottles, and beer bottles to the store.
The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, using  the same bottles over and over.   So they really were recycled but they didn't have the green thing back her day.  
 
In her day, they  walked up stairs, because they didn't have an escalator  
in every store and office building.
They walked to the grocery store and didn't climb  into a 300-horsepower machine every time they had to go two blocks.
 
Back then, they washed the baby's diapers because they didn't have the  
throw-away kind.
They dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts but "wind and solar power " really did dry the clothes.
Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters,   not always brand-new clothing.
 
Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house not a TV in every   room.
And the TV had a  small screen the size of a pizza dish, not a   screen the size of the  state of Montana.
In the kitchen, they blended and stirred by hand because they didn't have electric machines to do everything for you.  When they packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, they used wadded
up newspaper to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble  wrap.  
 
Back then, they didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut   the lawn.
They used a push mower that ran on human power. 
They exercised by working so they didn't need to go to a health club to run
on treadmills that operate on electricity.

They drank from a  fountain when they were thirsty, instead of using a
cup or a plastic bottle every time they had a drink of water.
They refilled pens with ink, instead of buying a new pen, and they replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.

Back then, people took the streetcar and kids rode their  bikes to school  
or rode the school bus, instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service.
They had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances.
And  they didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.  
But that old lady is right. They didn't have the green thing back in her day.
