The boy failed to make the cut. He's repeating 8th grade. I remember watching him learning how to run as his father strolled behind him, making sure he didn't fall. So adorable! The girl will be 18!!!! A high school senior!!! This year!!!! I still remember her, at four years old, kicking me in the shin then tripping over her own feet, bouncing off a tall Rubbermaid wastebasket, and landing on her butt as she tried to do it again. Ah...sweet memories...

May be there and I am requesting a card please

In the aftermath of the fire, the interior of Notre-Dame was a scene of debris.CreditPool photo by Christophe Petit Tesson _____________________________________________________ By The New York Times April 16, 2019 With the flames extinguished, the smoke clear and a new sun risen over Paris, the French got a heartening confirmation on Tuesday: The Cathedral of Notre-Dame still stands. It is scorched, battered and missing its spire and much of its roof, but the 800-year-old Gothic masterwork that symbolized both a place and a culture is a monument to be repaired, not mourned. Indeed, even as firefighters scoured the ashes and debris for any lingering embers, and investigators worked to determine the cause of the blaze, the French authorities were putting in motion an international fund-raising drive to reconstruct the landmark.

HERE IS MY RESPONSE: In regards to the proposal from US Ecology to renovate its hazardous waste management facility on Detroit’s east side by increasing its capacity to store hazardous materials by about 1000%, refuse it. The expansion may be a boon to US Ecology but an increased potential threat to the surrounding area. Especially since US Ecology is also including a safety shortcut by hoping that the "natural layer of clay that exists beneath the facility would hypothetically prevent any spills from entering the water table". Hypothetically being the operative word. If US Ecology can afford to expand their facility, why not build a larger one somewhere else, like, I don't know, Bloomfield Hills maybe? Or how about down the street in their management's neighborhood? After all, the air quality around them isn't affected by the facility's processing and there is no chance of hazardous waste possibly entering the water table as long as there is clay beneath it, right?

What disturbs me about this is they want to increase their size from 64,000 to 660,000 gallons of storage with only a layer of clay beneath the entire facility protecting the water table. As if it couldn't possibly leak. They are not even required to test or monitor the area for such an incident meaning they could be poisoning the area and not even know it. The environmental damage could be astronomical, especially since the facility is in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

Story by: ALEX MCLENON April 9, 2019 The US Ecology hazardous waste management facility on Georgia Street. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) is weighing a request from US Ecology to renovate its hazardous waste management facility on Detroit’s east side. The proposed expansion would allow the company to increase its capacity to store hazardous materials by about 1000%. State officials are currently seeking feedback on the subject. It’s the second time the proposal has been up for public comment — following an initial period in 2015. Mark Covington is president of the Georgia Street Community Collective — a group comprised of residents who live in the neighborhood near the hazardous waste facility. He says his group opposes the expansion. “We need environmental justice,” explains Covington. “They’re placing these facilities with in a poor areas — they want to increase this facility in a poor area. It’s like 60-65% people of color. 81% live below a poverty level.” Covington says he fears the City of Detroit is trying to turn his neighborhood into an industrial park. The community around Georgia Street has welcomed a pair of large scale facilities in recent years, and some suspect another could be on the way. However, Covington says he does feel state officials have done a good job listening to residents throughout the process. A truck in transit to the US Ecology hazardous waste mangement facility on Detroit’s east side. “It’s been four years since they announced the first public hearing for the permit to expand,” he says. “So I’m hoping the delay has been [the MDEQ] doing their due diligence.” The last public comment session did bring about a handful of changes to the proposed permit. Rich Conforti is spearheading the public comment period for the MDEQ. “In the original set of comments there was complaints about truck traffic,” says Conforti. “So we put conditions in the [US Ecology permit] to limit the number of trucks that would come out to the facility and which routes they had to take.” Conforti adds that the 2015 comment period also led to the repeal of a waiver that exempted US Ecology from conducting soil monitoring tests. That came when a resident pointed out that one of the truck offloading sites was not fully enclosed. The company does hold a waiver that exempts it from conducting a groundwater monitoring program. Conforti says that’s because a natural layer of clay that exists beneath the facility would hypothetically prevent any spills from entering the water table. “We’re bound by certain things in the rules and statutes of what we can and cannot consider,” says Conforti. “We can’t change the rules — we can only enforce them.” But that outcome wouldn’t satisfy Mark Covington. “We would like it shut down,” says Covington. “We know that by law they probably won’t go anywhere. But I don’t care if it’s by law or not, they don’t have to let them increase their capacity.” Conforti says the MDEQ will collect public feedback on the proposed US Ecology expansion through the end of the week. He says state officials will then begin a review of the comments, in order to formulate a response.

GOD hates death. It is an enemy to all. JESUS came that we are free from the fear of death. GOD promises HIS Children, "With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation." Thing is, we have to believe HIM first. If you don't believe what GOD says is true then HIS Word doesn't apply to you. Simple as that.

This is the first "Christian" book that I've ever touched that had the SPIRIT OF GOD radiating from it. In all my life, I have never encountered such a thing. I had to read it. I just saw the name on the cover.

I might be there and am requesting a card please. Thank you.

I had a strange dream this morning. In it I was walking with a group of friends through an area that appear to be like the grounds of a country club. It became a little chilly but the sun was still out. We felt that it was about to start raining and decided to continue on up the path heading back to a wood and glass building. Then I began slowing down and leaned against a tree. Suddenly, it was like lightning struck the tree and everything turned white. I couldn't see anything but white and there was pain everywhere. All I could feel was pain throughout my entire body. As the white begin to clear away, I found myself lying on my right side, partially on the smooth, gray pathway, the rest of me rested on the bottom of the tree where my right hand was still clinging to it. I looked down at my left leg. I was wearing a pair of those running shorts that have the little 2-inch slits on each side on the hips that allows the legs to move easily. What I saw was a black burn that resemble a streak of lightning running from that point on my hip all the way down to my ankle. ( I was a little bit confused because the body that I was looking at was not mine but belongs to someone with light skin and was athletic and much thinner than I am. I didn't know if I was dreaming or if I had body hopped again.) Anyway, I looked up and saw my friends were still walking away from where I was laying and tried to call out to them to get help, but it was as if they couldn't hear me. I struggle to get to my feet, but my body was both numb and in pain. I limped after them trying to catch up and call them through the foggy haze. It was if they were ignoring me. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get anyone to pay me any attention. I thought I was probably dead but several people who were much further away saw me. They look right at me so I wasn't dead and I wasn't a ghost. For some reason my so-called friends we're deliberately ignoring me. After I finally reached the building, I went inside and I kept trying to get my friends to acknowledge me. But they were too busy enjoying each other's company. Surprisingly, a woman off to my right saw me as I fell onto the floor. She called out in shock then other people started coming to my aide, but only one of my friends, this girl wearing a pink T-shirt or white t-shirt, I couldn't tell, my color sight was ruined by now, noticed what was going on and began heading my way. The others still didn't acknowledge me. And they only looked at her in confusion but then I woke up before I found out if they even looked my way.
