Long Lost Parent!

A year ago! I was looking for my husband's birth mother. She sent a letter to him back in 1993 when he was 26 years old but my mother in law (adoptive mom) never gave it to my husband. Last year (15 years later) she let me see the letter but not keep it and told me not to tell my husband. So on my own...I remembered her name and searched www.zabasearch.com and sent letters to all the addresses listed. But it was too late she had already moved. Then at my law firm I searched on LexisNexis with just her name last week and one new address appeared!! I FOUND HER! I wrote her again and 5 days later or more precisely THIS MORNING she emailed my husband!!! That is was HER!! and she sent pictures...most amazing thing is that she has my son Nicolas' same color of blue eyes and we always wanted to know where they came from since no one has blue eyes on my side of the family and my husband has hazel. Made me cry to see those same shade of blue eyes staring back at me in her photo. Best part is she now lives in Ireland (and owns a pub)...I am feeling a Irish vacation coming on...

Mark said...: I had an aunt who was separated from her twin sister at birth, and about 60 years later they were re-united.

My aunt lived in Frezno, California at the time, and her sister lived coincidentally in my hometown, Wichita, KS.

My aunt didn't need to get a motel room to meet her.; 7:21 AM

So, now how is it going to be with your mother-in-law? =:o; 9:47 AM
Tonto said...: We are not telling my mother in law. No point in deflecting interference right now as my husband and the birth mom start their relationship.

Even so, my husband still defends what my mother in law...and I still don't get it.; 4:11 PM
Tonto said...: Mark - is something about your aunt's twin being in your hometown. I guess some things are meant to be.

I heard a long time ago they separated twins on purpose in order to study a generation of the them to find out if nature v. nturue is really a big factor...never of course realizing there was a "bond" with twins unknown to other suiblings.

Because why would anyone separate twins?; 4:14 PM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
