This weeks theme is Important This weeks Photo hunter theme is important and I’m having a hard time deciding just what to post. There are so many things that are important to me. I’d post a photo of my wife, but she hates having her photo taken so I don’t have many to chose from and uh she’d probably kill me for posting a photo of her anyway! Family, friends and music are important to me. I’ve always been a very social person. Talkative my wife would say. So it’s easy for me to have a good time just about anywhere I go because I talk to anyone. I think I’ve met just about all of our neighbors. Not just the ones next door either. I work three blocks from our home and I think I know just about all the neighbors within that three block range. The photo above is of our neighbor Sofie. I was playing guitar in our backyard one day and she was out in her garden. Just for fun I wanted to try to give Sofie a lesson but it didn’t go so well. The photos’ great though isn’t it? Sofie rocks!

Woman dies beside own grave
How eerie is this? A Dutch woman, who had already planned her own funeral and purchased her plot after her husbands death last year, was found dead next to the grave in Amsterdam where she wanted to be buried. The widow, 65, probably died of a heart attack while she was visiting the family grave where her name, but no date, was already inscribed.
She had been carrying a bag with her that containing her will and had already organised details of her funeral including the music she wanted played.
I wonder if she really did just happen to die beside her own grave to be, or if she committed suicide? The report doesn’t state whether an autopsy was performed.
300 letters to God
Instead of selling 300 letters to God that he found floating in the Atlantic ocean, a U.S. man said on Friday he will donate them to a church. The letters which had been sent to a deceased Baptist clergyman, ended up in a sealed plastic shopping bag near a beach in Atlantic City, N.J.
Bill Lacovara found the bag while on a fishing trip last week. The letters inside the bag were addressed to Rev. Grady Cooper of Jersey City, New Jersey, who died in 2004. The letters included one from a teen-age girl asking God to forgive her for having an abortion, one from a man who wanted God’s help winning the lottery, and one from a prisoner who said he was innocent and wanted to be at home with his family.
The letters could have been auctioned off on eBay for up to $15,000, and says Lacovara, he would have given the money to charity. He has withdrawn the letters from the online auction because he said the move offended some religious people.
“There were a lot of religious fanatics that were very insulted,” he told Reuters. “They said they were disappointed in me, and I didn’t want to do something that’s going to create bad vibes.” He was urged to burn the letters by some or even to throw them back in the ocean or give them to a church.
Lacovara said about a dozen clergymen have offered to take the letters, and he is evaluating the requests to make sure the letters don’t fall into the wrong hands.
Online Dating
Are you love lorn? Don’t have time to get out to clubs and meet people? Well, I found a site for my readers from the UK who are looking for love!
I do know several people who have found love on the Internet. Some of them even ended up marrying. I think it’s a good way for some people to meet. You get a chance to talk to someone online, and then perhaps the phone as you get to know them and while you are doing that a friendship and perhaps even a relationship is developing. In this day and age when people are so busy working, trying to pay all their bills, caring for family - it can be hard to make time to find people to date. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using an online dating service. It works well for some!
The service I found is called Loopy Love. The front page states that it’s the Uk’s first free online singles dating service. their members seem to have been successful in finding a match because the site says that there are two or three marriages every week! You might not be looking for marriage, but it’s nice to know that they are helping people match up.
The Loopy love site is easy to use. Just register, fill in some information about yourself, tell them who your ideal date is, and how far you are willing to travel to meet your match. It’s as easy as that. Give it a try if you want some help finding your perfect mate.
