Re: When I Grow Up…

I echo Joanne:

Erin... Your story about how you and your sister turned play-time into business-time sounds like a fairy tale come true!

This was such an unexpected gift and opportunity for all of us to share how our early experiences, both positive and negative influenced who we are today. As well it allowed us to demonstrate how we can turn the negative into extremely positive.

I'd like to share one more thing: It is Tony Robbins famous statement: "Your Past is NOT Your Future!" In "MY" case... This simple statement allowed me to unload the negative baggage I carried for years and use the remnants to create a positive experience "for myself" and many others through my eCards.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

Re: John McCain is Going to Make Me Care

Dear Micah:

I found you through a tweet on Twitter.

You, yourself made the case for voting in what you just shared above.

NOT to vote... IS a vote for McCain.

I am a registered democrat, but vote by the issues. Usually I stick to democratic, but I have been known to cross party lines in the voting booth.

As a New Yorker, I would have voted for Ruby Giuliani (or at the least strongly considered it) as I liked what he did as our mayor, especially during the 911 crisis.

In my opinion... Rudy Giuliani is a smart man and I believe he changed his mind cause he really did throw the election - in my opinion, that is.

Then I was for Hillary Clinton. I was for Hillary all along, but I was true to Giuliani. When he dropped out I was full swing for Hillary.

Then Hillary lost and I was going to vote for McCain, for the wrong reasons. Stupid I am not, so I really had time to be swayed.

During the democratic convention I popped in and out. I listened to the speeches (still have to find Bill Clinton's speech, but I know what he said).

I AM one of the masses who are struggling because of the way things are. I am NOT alone and am surely better off than those who are losing their homes and have no food on their tables. I am far from complaining, just being honest as to how things really are.

I listened and I cried. I cried because I DO NOT want this to go on. I feel so bad for all those who are hurting so badly -- people who worked hard all their lives are standing on food lines and have no health insurance.

WE as a country deserve more. WE as a country have known better and our leaders have let us down.

I listened and learned about Barack Obama and his "carefully" selected running mate - Joe Bidon. I had never heard of Joe Bidon before, but I AM VERY impressed.

IF there is the slightest chance Obama and Bidon can make a difference they "have my vote!" I AM voting for Barack Obama and Joe Bidon -- for sure.

To NOT vote, is like giving the election to McCain.

HIGHLY INSULTED...

As a woman, I am highly insulted by the stupidity of this all. The idea to choose an unknown "woman" with no experience to run the country in case of the worst case scenario - McCain passes on, is ludicrous and UNcaring by McCain.

I am not sure I can change your mind and prompt you to vote, but I ask one thing of you... PLEASE THINK HARD before you give this vote away by not voting.

Sincerely,

Roz Fruchtman

Re: Comment Of The Day

Dear Micah:

I use Google Alerts for my various keywords as well as variations of my name. That's how I found the honor you have bestowed upon me for "Comment of the Day!"

I am BLOWN AWAY that you selected my Comment on voting. THANK YOU!!! If you could see me now you would see I am wearing a broad smile! WOW!!!

Back to the Election, since I have your ear...

Watching as little as I can of the RNC convention I am now more certain than ever we are in a world of trouble. The point is, as I said the other day, NOT voting is a thrown away vote. No matter what!

We saw first hand... when Al Gore and George W Bush were running, EVERY vote counts. A lesson that should be well learned BY ALL!

Sarah Palin may be an expert in Governorship and Mayorship in Alaska, but running a country the size of the USA is out of the question in my book. IF a woman were to do it, it SHOULD HAVE BEEN HILLARY! (And yes, Sarah did give an impressive speech, but so did Rudy Giuliani!)

In my opinion... IF the US is NOT ready for a woman president, then it SHOULD NOT be ready for a woman Vice President as she would be a heartbeat away from the presidency. John McCain is 72 years old. While I hope he lives 72 more years, even if he did, he would not be presidential material, so the job would fall to Sarah Palin. (I realize this is a way out comment, but the point is valid!)

As a woman, I see her view on abortion... or lack of... as absurd. It is one thing to be Pro Life, but quite another to want to force women to carry to term, a child conceived in rape or incest. It is absolutely absurd.

I come from an era where abortion was NOT legal, and the outcome was more deaths of women who tried other methods or doctors that were not equipped for the procedure. WE DO NOT... WANT TO GO BACK THERE!!!

I had more, but decided to delete it. LOL

Micah... Thanks again for the honor.

My parting words... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... VOTE! It is YOUR right and one that will serve US ALL... THIS TIME around. PLEASE VOTE!!!

Have a great day!

Re: Thinking About Trust Agents

Dear Chris:

Trust Agent is a bit impersonal. Besides... the words alone do not mean anything to me.

It I saw the book in a store, I would probably only pick it up for a peek "because I recongize your name!"

Hope this helps.
