I have a friend, who I was very close to. Now, we're not close at all. It's sad how people allow time, life, to diminish their relationships. At one time we'd talk everyday either at work, on phone. We'd see each other out of work...

vmenard Life has a way of getting in the way of things. I always think I'll call so and so and then something happens and I forget to call that day and then I don't think about again for another week or so and the pattern repeats itself.

vmenard Yes he improved a great deal last year, and he'll only get better with more time. I like that he's committed to his team.

Gen. Casey let it be known that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may take another 10 years. “We are not going to succeed in either place by military means alone. You are only going to succeed when the people perceive there is...

vmenard You are right about the war. We are now undertaking the job of helping to rebuild these countries. America deserves to be rebuilt too, our children deserve to be left a country better then the one we're living in now.

vmenard I agree the NBA should focus on a player like this as an example of what an NBA player should behave like. Durant isn't motivated to leave Oklahoma City for a larger television market, increasing his sponsorship money, he wants to build a winning team for...

vmenard Yes these young women know they're famous for partying and bad behavior and they'll continue to do that to stay in the news. Hopefully they'll grow up soon.

vmenard Society has created celebrities out of these reality personalities. It's sad that these people make the news.

vmenard Sorry to hear about your fall. Yes all the people named in your response are all more deserving of recognition and publicity for all the good they do.

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I can't understand the fascination with, Lady Gaga. Perhaps it's because I've seen it all before when it was done, better by Madonna. I don't know why she wears the outrages outfits, or...

vmenard I guess that could explain it. I just wish she didn't have to go so over the top. Pink is different also, but not as outrageous as gaga, and they both can sing. I just think she can be heard better, when her outfit isn't so loud.

vmenard Russell and Ryan Leaf have a lot in common, both draft busts, and both caught with drugs and no prescription. I also think Russell is in danger of getting into more trouble. It's too bad he wasn't able to take advantage of all that was given to him.

vmenard Hopefully, he will find something else he can do. He hasn't shown much initiative to do anything with his opportunity in the NFL. Hopefully he's saved some of his money.

vmenard You are right, more publicity should be given to good players. It's the why life is, bad behavior always seems to be more publicized and discussed. Russell is young enough, where this doesn't have to be the end of his story, he can turn his life and maybe...

vmenard Ya, I guess to get noticed in today's MTV world, you have to have some gimmick. Well, at least she has some talent. I could just do without all the crazy get ups she wears.

I love that movie A.I. it reminds me of my mother. She died when she was only 37. If I could bring anyone back, it would be her. It would be hard knowing I only had one day with her, but I'd say everything i didn't get a chance to...

vmenard 14 what a young age to lose a parent and 43 is too young to die. It's unfortunate your children weren't able to meet their grandfather. My two sons never had a chance to meet either of their grandmothers, they had both passed away by the time they were born.

vmenard That's a nice response. Time unfortunately is not something we can bring back. It's not too late, you can spend quality time with your parents in person, on the phone.

vmenard That's the hard part. My relationship with my mother was finally getting better, because I was getting older and understood what a difficult job being a parent is. Then, she was gone, I ran out of time. I miss her a lot too.
