I’m only 20 years old lol, but here are mine:

1) I remember when I was around 3 or 4 I had these wooden blocks with letters of the alphabet on each one, and I was stacking them in a tower. I had put more than one of them in my mouth lol!

2) I think when I was around 4 or 5, I was walking around our apartment and my father would watch this TV show called "News Hour with Jim Lehrer", and every day they would have coverage of the Bosnian War. I remember one day I glanced at the TV and there were these Bosnian Muslims walking away from their homes on these train tracks, because the Serbs had destroyed them.

3) I remember my first day of Pre-Kindergarten when I was 5 or 6. I kept on crying all day, and kicking and screaming, because I felt that my mother had abandoned me. I even hid under the chair when the whole class had to sit in a circle, and I just remember everyone staring at me.
(Please STAR this question, so others may see this question! And we’ll get to compare each others’ answers, and hopefully get some insightful stories!)

Obama’s letters for Rezko
NOT A FAVOR? | As a state senator, he went to bat for now-indicted developer’s deal

June 13, 2007
BY TIM NOVAK Staff Reporter/tnovak@suntimes.com

As a state senator, Barack Obama wrote letters to city and state officials supporting his political patron Tony Rezko’s successful bid to get more than million from taxpayers to build apartments for senior citizens.

The deal included 5,000 in development fees for Rezko and his partner, Allison S. Davis, Obama’s former boss, according to records from the project, which was four blocks outside Obama’s state Senate district.

According to Obama, Rezko did not ask him to write the letters, he wrote them so the development would be built. What do you believe?

Obama Provided Political Favors To Tony Rezko, Including Writing Letters On His Behalf:
“As A State Senator, Barack Obama Wrote Letters To City And State Officials Supporting His Political Patron Tony
Rezko’s Successful Bid To Get More Than Million From Taxpayers To Build Apartments For Senior Citizens.” (Tim
Novak, “Obama’s Letters For Rezko,” Chicago Sun-Times, 6/13/07)
The Letters Show That Obama Did Do A Political Favor For Rezko. “Obama’s letters, written nearly nine years ago, for the
first time show the Democratic presidential hopeful did a political favor for Rezko – a longtime friend, campaign fund-raiser and
client of the law firm where Obama worked – who was indicted last fall on federal charges that accuse him of demanding
kickbacks from companies seeking state business under Gov. Blagojevich.” (Tim Novak, “Obama’s Letters For Rezko,” Chicago Sun-

i need to let the elderly know this is half the price of home health care and i am licensed

I’m 65, disabled and not Catholic. I just moved into a senior center which is run by nuns. This is a wonderful place and I’m most grateful to be here after being robbed of everything I own by my children. One of the residents is running to the head nun and reporting I’m doing wrongs continually. I am not doing wrong. She has made others miserable with her controlling and abusive behavior and is hated. The head nun listens to her and immediately calls me and royally chews me out over petty and insignificant things. I’ve been sick all weekend because my blood pressure is way up and my diabetes has gone off the chart. This due to emotional stress. I’ve been here since the 22nd of May and I’ve been chewed out 7 times. Mostly because I’ve been weeding the extensive gardens. Others, including the groundsmen are happy I’m helping. I’m in hog heaven because I haven’t been able to garden for over 5 years. I’m not Catholic and I refuse to submit to what I consider Catholic tyrany. This is HUD housing and I am considering making a harassment complaint to HUD but only want to do that as a last resort. I’m a very independent thinker and I hate being controlled. I would never have been in this spot if it weren’t for my children taking advantage of my incapacity. I won’t put up with this harassment but I want to handle it very carefully and appropriately. Suggestions?
I don’t know if the nun is so hated but the little troublemaker resident who wants to control others is the one who tattles to the nun and she is hated. Her IQ is fairly low, but her sneakiness is very high.
I’m probably a "dudette"!
This is independent senior living. I am slowly losing the use of my right arm. I am only 65 and there is still a bit of tread left. What I am doing is much appreciated by other residents and the groundsmen who have given me a key to the sprinklers and access to the garden shed. Lastly, my mind is still honed and sharp and my post graduate legal training is still helping me. I am suing my own children for repleven with out an attorney. The public attornies are coaching me how to use the law library. I am easy to get along with, very tolerant and kind and generous. But I am also the last person you ever want to piss off. You don’t want to pick a fight with me. I usually win, if I don’t, it is at the least a draw.

Why isn’t Obama up front with the American people on his 20 year friendship and his dealings with property developer and political fixer Antoin Rezko?
