Translation: A HUNDRED THOUSAND WELCOMES!

Where I got the background here and the salutations. Very good work

 

 

My children are the axis that my world revolves on.

Lord Scooby is the world. 

May God keep them always.

 

If ever I should wish for a retreat, where I might steal

from the world and it's distractions and dream quietly

away the remnant of a troubled life it is with the

people I hold dearest to me: Rodney, Samantha & Jr.

 

How far you go in life depends on your being:

Tender with the Young,

Compassionate with the aged,

Sympathetic with the striving,

Tolerant of those who are weaker than you.

Because someday, you will be all of these.

George Washington Carver (d1920's)

 

What we do with our lives depends on our

motivation to do something with our lives.

Hello there, my name is actually Deborah (pronounced Dee-bor-ah) not Grace, all though Grace happens to be my favorite name!

I have many interests from the Camelot saga of old to Autism Awareness.

I reside in Pennsylvania in the south central area. We are about an hours drive from the Maryland border. I am 47 years old and the mother of two beautiful children. My daughter Samantha is 15 and my son JR is 11. I've been married to Lord Scooby for 22 years now.

As a propionate of autism awareness I am also a supporter of vaccine reform. The current protocols are too ambiguous to do any good and are typically producing harmful effects. And the "ONE SIZES FITS ALL" mentality of the pharmaceutical industry, medical community and governmental bodies is one of the biggest (in my opinion) causes for this autism epidemic in the past 10 years. After 9 years in this battle I have gone from hope that our government will do the right thing to giving up on the american (notice I don't capitalize the word anymore) government machine. I hate what has happened to america and more to the point what america is doing to us the citizens of this once great nation. I have lost all hope that the drug cartels (pharmaceutical industry) will do the right thing so now I am 100% against any and all vaccines of any kind. Actually any product put out by the drug cartels are not consumed by my children or myself. I know someday justice will be served. Maybe not in man's court but God's court can never be denied its justice. When these drug cartel heads (and anyone else who knowingly allowed this to happen) die I hope I go before they do because I want a ring side seat for their trials.

 

I love music of all kinds with the exception of Gangster Rap. My love of music spans the 20th century and older. From Al Jolson of the early 20's to Creed of the late 90's and early 2000. I enjoy classical music as well as relaxation type music. Some of my favorites include Bob Seger's "TURN THE PAGE", Looking Glass' "BRANDY", too many songs by KISS to mention, but my favorite album of theirs is "THE ELDER" I also enjoy Celtic music immensely.

 

I enjoy reading for pleasure. All though most of what I read these days is autism related in one form or another.  John Grisham's "A TIME TO KILL" has got to be a favorite. I enjoy the social commentary of the book and the fact that any parent would do the exact same thing regardless of race. Other favorite authors include Tom Clancy, Stephen King, Harper Lee, Mark Twain, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie.

 

By birth I am of Irish/German ancestry. Below are my ancestral coat of arms. The left one is for the family Donovan, the right one for Delaney, and the one below is the McCarthy coat of arms.

There are several links that pertain to children and places they can go on the internet. The most important of these children sites in my opinion is the site that deals with the finding of missing and exploited children (found on the main page). If you check none of the rest of them out, please do look into that one.

Some educational sites (the for sale sign is a link to the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and additional amendments) and I know especially now some folks would get all indignant about the for sale sign representing this revered document but the truth of the matter is our own technology has been and is still being used against us. All at the hands of our own government officials selling it's people out for money. I guess it shouldn't really be much of a surprise. I mean what is that saying: THE GOLDEN RULE: THOSE THAT HAVE THE GOLD MAKE THE RULES! The American government isn't any different than any other with the one exception of WE DON'T LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES!!

 

Below are some quotes that I try (and it gets harder everyday it seems) to live and guide my life by:

 

Pursue not the outer entanglements. Dwell not in the inner void,  Be serene in the oneness of things, And dualism vanishes by itself.

"On Trust in the Heart"

Seng-t'-san (d606)

 

 

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. If you judge people you have no time to love them.

Mother Theresa (d09/05/97)

 

The Essence of Achievement:

The credit belongs to those people who are actually in the arena....who know the great enthusiasm, the great devotions to a worthy cause and who at best know the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, fail while doing greatly...so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt

 

The following is a poem for every woman who has ever been hurt by anyone and one I hold dear to my heart...

 

After A While

by Veronica A Stoffstall

 

After a while you learn,

The difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul.

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning.

And company doesn't always mean security.

And you begin to learn,

That kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats with your head

up and your eyes ahead.

With the grace of a woman

Not the grief of a child.

And you learn, to build all your roads on today

because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans

and futures have away of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn,

That even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So you plant your own garden and decorate your

own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure,

That you really are strong,

And you really do have worth.

And you learn and you learn, with every goodbye you learn.

 

The following I found while listening to the Irish Tenors.

John McDermott brought this song to life.

 

 

I put it here to honor my father who passed away

December 21st 1994.

Daddy I still think of you ever day, you still give me the

strength that I seek to get thru these trying times.

Thank You

 

 

The Old Man

The tears have all been shed now.

We've said our last goodbye,

His soul have been blessed,

He's laid to rest.

And it's now I feel alone.

He was more than just a Father,

A teacher, my best friend.

He can still be heard

In the tunes we shared

When I play them on my own.

 

I never will forget him

For he made me what I am.

Though he may be gone

Memories linger on

And I miss him, The Old Man.

 

As a boy, he'd take me walking

by mountain, field and stream

And he'd show me things

Not know to kings

And secret between him and me;

Like the colours on a pheasant

As he rises in the dawn

And how to fish

And make a wish

Beside a fairy tree.

 

I never will forget him

For he made me what I am.

Though he may be gone

Memories linger on

And I miss him, The Old Man.

 

I thought he'd live forever,

He seemed so big and strong,

But the minutes fly

And the years roll by

For a father and his son.

And suddenly when it happened

There was so much left unsaid.

No second chance

To tell him 'Thanks

For everything he'd done'.

 

I never will forget him

For he made me what I am.

Though he may be gone

Memories linger on

And I miss him, The Old Man.
