OK, so my parents live in Las Vegas.  My mother is somewhat of a religious person.  She prays every night, she has "talks" with God, believes that her mother sends her little messages from "the beyond"....well anyways, my parents are gamblers, and they play a lot of video poker.  Well, I guess my mom has this one poker machine, that in times of termoil she will go to for the "answers" she seeks.  As some people know, my husband got orders toLondon, even though there is a 90% chance he is getting out of them for many reasons, my mother decided this warranted a visit to the "magic machine".  This is the same machine that "told" her I was having a girl before I found out.  Well, I guess this is how it works.  She sits at this machine and asks God for guidance....then bases the answer on if a jackpot is hit or not....well, i guess yesterday she looked for answers on whether or not we will be going to England, and God, through a jackpot on this machine, let her know I would not be going....LOL.  So, to all those or seeking answers to lifes most unknown questions..please direct all questions to the Texas Station Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas NV..........

So, I would find it hard to believe that anyone on this site was unaware of my journal, as it was 500+ posts deep.  I must say that I was very proud of that journal, and of most of the people who stood up in the name of tolerance and acceptance.  But, it appears that perhaps my journal was a bit too much for some, and it was deleted today, without my knowledge.  I am so very upset about this.  I put a lot into it, and loved watching the responses pour in.  it showed me that there was still some hope that some people fought for what was decent and right in this world.  i do plan on reposting the exct same journal, because that is my opinion, based on what I have experienced and my relationship with my brother, and I dont find my original journal post to be offensive.  I also just wanted to add, that if there were some people that participated in my journal that felt the need to report any comments, and ultimately had a hand in its deletion, then I would suggest perhaps partaking in that little thing we call "getting a life".  Thank you!
