Lobbying is an important professional activity for nurses. Although you might think that lobbying is a secret activity carried on by highly paid special interest representatives, lobbying is any effort to influence the decision makers who influence our lives.
Any member of a democratic society has the right to lobby – to inform, educate, and persuade elected officials. Through effective lobbying, nurses can have a say in how funds are spent, which laws are enacted, and what the nursing practice environment will be.
Lobbying is one route to legislative power. Nurses can increase their power, first by learning about health care policies and proposals, and then by communicating their knowledge and concerns to lawmakers.
This module will help you learn how to:
The Governor of New York is the state's chief executive and is charged with a number of responsibilities, such as the submission of the state's executive budget, execution and enforcement of state laws, and serving as Commander-in-Chief of New York's military and naval forces. The executive branch of New York State government consists of 20 departments, the maximum number allowed under a constitutional ceiling.
Some of these departments include the State Department of Health , the Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Department of Taxation and Finance. Department heads are appointed by the Governor.
The State Education Department, which oversees nursing and other professions, is governed by a Board of Regents appointed by the State Legislature.
New York voters elect a State Attorney General to enforce the laws of the state. A State Comptroller is elected to oversee the financial operations at state and local levels. Both offices are independent of both the Executive Branch and the State Legislature.
The legislative branch consists of the two houses of the legislature – a Senate of 63 members and an Assembly of 150 members. State legislators serve two-year terms of office and are elected in even-numbered years.
The primary function of the legislature is to make laws. Another major function of the legislature is to either pass or revise the Governor's annual budget. The legislature also reviews administrative actions by state agencies to ensure that they conform to legislative intent and authorization.
Legislators provide a variety of services to their constituents. They intervene on behalf of their constituents with a state agency or local government to ensure that their needs are being addressed. Through standing and select committees, task forces, public hearings, and joint legislative commissions, the legislature gathers information from individuals and constituent groups to make more informed decisions concerning appropriate legislation.
Legislative leadership is centered in the Speaker of the Assembly and the Senate Majority Leader, who control the resources, organization, and most of the important functions of their respective houses. They also appoint the chairpersons of Assembly and Senate standing committees.
The State Senate has additional authority to confirm or reject nominations made by the Governor for certain state and judicial offices. The Lieutenant Governor, while not a member of the Senate, is the Senate's President and presiding officer. The Majority Leader presides in the absence of the Lieutenant Governor and is next in line after the Lieutenant Governor to succeed to the governorship.
The state's unified court system is presided over by judges who are both elected and appointed. The Chief Judge of the New York State Court of Appeals (the state's highest court) is appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the State Senate.

To become law in New York state, a bill must pass both houses of the State Legislature – the Assembly and the Senate – and then be enacted by the Governor.
The legislative session begins with the Governor's State of the State Address in January each year. The legislative session recess usually begins in mid to late June. Both the Assembly and Senate use a committee system to review legislative proposals. Standing committees each have a specific area of interest (e.g., education, health, or labor.) The majority party in each house holds the committee chair positions and the majority of each committee's seats.
Ideas for laws come from many sources – officials, citizens, newspaper articles, and interest groups. To be considered by the Legislature, an idea must be sponsored by an Assemblyperson or a Senator. It is then drafted into legal language and is assigned a bill number.
Bills before the State Assembly have "A" before their numbers and bills before the State Senate have "S" before their numbers. The bill is identified by this number throughout the legislative process.
A bill is assigned to a standing committee for study. When it addresses more than one area of interest or has the potential to affect state expenditures, it may be reviewed by more than one committee. After review, the committee votes on whether to "report" the bill for consideration by the entire house.
After a bill is passed by one house of the Legislature, it must move through the committee process and be approved in the second house. This sometimes happens simultaneously. If different versions of the bill are passed by the two houses, a conference committee may be convened to work out differences.
After a bill has passed both houses of the legislature, it is forwarded to the Governor, who will either sign the bill into law or veto it. If the bill is vetoed, the Governor must supply an explanation to the Legislature. The Legislature may override the veto by a two-thirds majority vote of each house.

NYSNA's web site has detailed information on the nursing legislative agenda and the status of priority bills. Look under "Political and Community Organizing" (see right.) NYSNA members are encouraged to register (free of charge) at the Association's Legislative Action Center, where they can communicate with their legislators about specific pieces of legislation. When you provide your e-mail address as a member of the association, you will automatically receive legislative alerts.

Elected officials want and need to know what their constituents think about public policy matters. No legislator is an expert on all issues. Nurses must use their expertise about nursing and health care to educate elected officials so they will be able to make informed decisions about which bills to sponsor and which bills to support. There are several ways to communicate with your elected officials:
Writing a letter is still an effective means of communication. Legislators regularly review their correspondence. Following these guidelines will increase the chance of your letter being read and understood:
Send a copy of your letter to the chairperson of the committee where the bill is being reviewed and to the majority and minority leaders of the house in which it is being considered.
Write again if you have not received an answer to your correspondence.
E-mail is becoming an increasingly common means of communication. All state legislators have e-mail addresses that are listed on the State Assembly and State Senate web sites. When sending e-mail, follow these guidelines:
A visit visibly demonstrates your interest in what your legislator is doing. You will have an opportunity to more thoroughly explain your concerns and provide information about nursing. When planning a visit to your legislator's office:
Thank the legislator, and leave your name and address, plus any printed materials you may have on your topic.

Legislative District Coordinators (LDCs) are NYSNA members who are registered voters and want to influence their workplaces, communities, and their state by engaging lawmakers on key nursing and health care issues.
LDCs are nursing's eyes and ears in their legislative districts. LDC activities include:
While previous experience in the political arena is helpful for new LDCs, it is not required. LDCs use the skills that they have developed in their practice, such as interpersonal communication and dedication to serving others. They receive support and training from NYSNA staff.

9 March 2014
Dear Mrs May,
Operation Elveden are failing to investigate serious crimes committed by Daily Mirror staff despite having cast iron evidence. I provided the evidence.
The full story is in the correspondence I reproduce below -. However, I realise that you are an immensely busy woman, so to take you to instantly to the heart of the corrupt behaviour of Operation Elveden please read first the attached facsimile letter Piers Morgan sent to the PCC whilst editor of the Daily Mirror. In this letter he admits receiving information from the Metropolitan Police in circumstances which can only be illegal, viz: "The police source of our article (whose identity we have a moral obligation to protect)…".
The other document you need to read is my initial email (dated 21 January 2013) to the then head of Operation Elveden Deputy Assistant Commissioner Steve Kavanagh – see first document below this letter. That will give you the background to and the range of crimes Elveden are failing to investigate.
I have provided Eleveden with a copy of Morgan's letter, together with other evidence of criminal behaviour on the part of the Mirror's erstwhile Chief Crime Reporter Jeff Edwards, in receiving information illicitly from the police. I have also supplied Elveden with evidence that both Morgan and Edwards perjured themselves before the Leveson Inquiry. Finally, there is the misconduct of the police in not investigating these crimes for which they have cast-iron evidence.
Despite having the Piers Morgan letter (amongst other very strong evidence), DI Daniel Smith (see letter dated 13 June 2013) informed me that no investigation would be undertaken without giving any meaningful explanation.
The Metropolitan Police's ' Directorate of Professional Standards is now supposedly investigating the failure of Operation Elveden to investigate the crimes I have reported to them. However, they have had my complaint for more than seven months and have not come to a judgement.
As you will see from the correspondence, I have also tried without success to get the DPP to act on what is a clear failure on the part of the police to investigate serious crimes .. They have made the spurious excuse that they cannot direct the police to investigate a complaint. The excuse is spurious because in a recent case of rape they had done just that. That involved Acting Detective Constable Hannah Notley who wilfully mishandled the investigation. After a third party intervened with the CPS the matter was taken up by the police, viz: : "In April 2012, after an independent representative supporting the alleged victim contacted the CPS, Notley finally confessed, and last month admitted a single charge of misconduct in a public office." (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/10500744/Detective-jailed-after-failing-to-investigate-alleged-rape.html).
Since I made my complaint to Eleveden I have not been interviewed by any person from Elveden, the DPS or the CPS, this despite my frequent requests to be interviewed and to give a formal statement. This is a very strong indication that all of those in the police and justice systems who have been involved with the matter know very well that my complaints are exceptionally well founded. They will not meet me because they do not know how to tell me to my face that black is white.
I ask you to take up this matter and to use your influence to get my allegations of criminality investigated thoroughly. I would greatly welcome a meeting with you to discuss the matter.
If the police are not brought to book over this, it will mean they are a law unto themselves.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Henderson

I read in forums that the new CS6 encoder is supporting CUDA tech and if i export a H.264 file or Mpeg2 it'll be faster, In contrast CS5.5 that only in the premiere support the Marqury but if encodding with Encoder it slower. I want to know if it true and if i Have to buy the Supported cards in Adobe's list, becuse i want to buy the new GTX 670 and i didn't see it in the list, so what can i do?
First of all CUDA technology has been supported since CS5, so CS5.5 and CS6 all make use of this technology to use the GPU to accelerate the functions in this list. Technically it does not do the H.264 and MPEG2 encoding, but if you apply any of the effects or features in that document it speeds up the encoding functions significantly.. Yes, you can use the GTX670 but you have to add one new line to the Adobe "cuda_support_cards.txt" file
Yes, I have GT540M and i add it in the CUDA.TXT.
It isn't a fast card (98 CUDA cores but 4GB (2+2)) so i export 1 hour in 3:30 hours (using a ultra key effect on green screen).
But i read that the CS5.5 doesn't use the card anyway in Encoder (expect you user export in Premiere) but the CS6 can use the Video card in Encoder.
So it isn't true? can i stay at CS5.5 but update my Video card? or something else like RAM?
I work with HDV camera, and i to work with it on the timeline, i don't need a RealTime fast working especially, but i do need a fast export from premiere to Encoder.
I thought that the CPU and RAM doesn't matter, and the best is to invest a very good video card like GTX670. if i worng, tell me what should i need to buy, Thank's...
(I don't need a 5000$ PC becouse i don't work with After Effects and RealTime Render, just a normal use in Premiere and Exporting)
Adobe Forums: What PC to build? An update...
For export you need:
1. No.
2. See:
Adobe Forums: Planning / building a new system. Part 1
or Planning & Building a new NLE System
Have a look at the tab 'Disks, PSU'. Also look at the FAQ section here.

Graduate education in nursing is the minimum requirement for a wide variety of leadership positions, including the following options for which you can prepare with the Master of Science in Nursing degree.
The Clinical Nurse Leader designs, implements, and evaluates care at the unit level based on professional standards, protocols, and research. Responsibilities include coordination of interdisciplinary teams in provision of quality care, promotion of best practices, and advocacy for care improvements. Web resource:www.aacn.nche.edu
The nurse administrator is accountable for staffing, resource acquisition and distribution, and patient care services within a health care system. Responsibilities include development and maintenance of programs consistent with the organizational mission and vision, interdisciplinary collaboration for provision of quality care that is cost effective, staff support, and patient satisfaction.

Nursing salaries, according to the 2008 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses:
Management/Administration: Senior Management | $96,735 |
Management/Administration | $78,356 |
Consultant | $76,473 |
Informatics Nurse | $75,242 |
Management/Administration: Middle Management | $74,799 |
Management/Administration: First-Line Management | $72,006 |
The nurse faculty salary conundrum
Unfortunately, some experts are concerned that nursing faculty salaries are not keeping up. Regardless of their education, nursing faculty members rarely seem to crack the $70,000 mark. The average salary for nurses engaged in instruction as their primary job in 2008 was $65,844, according to the sample survey data.

What do I have to do to get the updates done to the Harris graves at Clark's Hill Cemetery?? I first requested the updates two weeks before Thanksgiving 2013 and have been patiently waiting. These are the only family members I'm still waiting for to be linked. If you don't have the time or inclination to update them, then please transfer them and I'll get them taken care of.

Hi Thelma,
I was just looking at the above memorial and wanted to have you make a correction. She was married second to a William Gipson, not Albert.
Also, I was wondering if you could transfer several of your memorials to me, a family member of relatives in Isley Cemetery?
Thank you so much.

RE: Warrick & Mary Stalnaker
Yes, I have a lot of research from my grandma. Warrick & Mary are my 2nd great grandparents. But I wasn't aware that they had a hotel. My grandma never told me about it. She passed away in 2002. I don't know if you would have known her since she grew up in Tippecanoe County. Her name was Mary Ellen Frey. Her parents were John & Vena (Stalnaker) Frey. I noticed in the 1910 & 1920 census that Warrick & Mary had boarders in their household. So do you know if they had a boarding house or was it a hotel?
Also, I was wondering if you had an obituary for Hazel Frey Loveless (Find A Grave Memorial# 71683189). She was my grandma's aunt and was killed by a train- 15 Jun 1930 at Stockwell, Indiana. I'd love any information you could give me on any of the Frey or Stalnaker Families. Thanks so much for your help.

Martin Campbell
Dear Thelma:
Martin Campbell was the son of Charles and Eliza (Bowers) Campbell, he was born in Indiana Jan 22 1830. and died October 7, 1919. On May 15, 1851,he married Emeline Cameron, daughter of John and Mary (Rinehart) Cameron. Mary Rinehart was the daughter of David Rinehart and Rosanna (Coyner) Rinehart. John Cameron was born Feb 19, 1811 abd died August 16, 1895; he was the son of Thomas Cameron.
This was from in part from: Tercentenary of New England families : 1620-1922 : a record of the achievements of her people in the making of commonwealths an.... page 176 (available on Ancestry) Although the book does not list his mother's name I believe she was Elizabeth Mitchel.
(The above source had incorrect birth and death dates for David Rinehart; Mary's father.)
If you should have any further questions, Please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best Regards
Cindy Rinehart

Apple and Microsoft neck-and-neck
Apple had the second-largest market cap last week, but Microsoft has reclaimed its position.
Yes, that happened last week when Apple kicked Microsoft (MSFT) to the No. 3 spot. Well, kind of. See, the S&P doesn't count shares that aren't available for active trading, so that leaves out a big chunk of Microsoft shares (including those held by Bill Gates).
So, if you add those shares, Microsoft is still worth about $25 billion more than Apple, writes Linda Stern at CBS MoneyWatch.com.
At any rate, the companies are pretty much neck-and-neck for the No.2 spot. Monday, Apple dropped back to No. 3 after its shares lost some momentum.
It's still amazing to me, after watching Apple shares flounder for so many years pre-2007, to see this kind of runup. To go from also-ran to market king in just three years is a feat.
Investors are obviously high on the sock. So is this the time to sell Apple? Let me ask you this, would you abandon a company that is firing on all cylinders and recently launched a market-changing new product?
Options strategist Jason Schwarz thinks the stock is headed to $400 and eventually $500 (It's now trading at about $270). It may end up crushing Exxon Mobil (XOM) for the No. 1 spot, he writes.

Thank You Big Ben, Meterman46, & the Webmaster for your replies.
Unfortunately, even with the site update, I still can't submit a review. If the problem is with my 'user name', is it possible for me to correct/change it?? Or would I need to UNsubscribe, REsubscribe & try again?? Thank you again, Terri C. |

If Howard Stern still believes he carries the burden of being "King of All Media," he should pick up a copy of the urban-music bible The Source sometime. He'll find that many of today's rap impresarios are kicking his ass in that department, probing any hot spot they can find -- mediawise, that is. Take, for example, Russell Simmons, owner of the legendary Def Jam empire. Apart from owning a succession of record labels, a management company, and his own clothing line (called Phat Farm), he presides over production teams in both film and television. He has even started his own magazine, Oneworld.
But unlike Simmons, who prefers a life behind the scenes, your typical rap entrepreneur these days gladly courts celebrity. Bigwigs like Sean "Puffy" Combs and Jermaine Dupri are licensed extroverts, making numerous appearances on the countless albums they've produced and the videos they've directed -- just to let everyone know who's running the show (and often supplying the capital).
Ditto Percy Miller, better known to the hip-hop world as Master P. A business tycoon first and an artist second, the Louisiana native has turned his Gulf Coast-founded No Limit label into a full-fledged media conglomerate, his gold-toothed smirk the unofficial stamp of approval for each and every outgoing product. While constantly churning out CDs from his snowballing stable of national talent, he also runs a sports agency, distributes the obligatory fashion line, and is about to publish a collection of (I shit you not) his essays.
Then there's his burgeoning movie enterprise, No Limit Films. P started making films a year ago with I'm Bout It: The Movie. Made for a paltry $1 million, I'm Bout It is a semiautobiographical, life-on-the-streets parable. P tried to sell the film to an outside distributor, only to have it dismissed as too flawed to be released in theaters. So, with virtually no chance of I'm Bout It making it to the big screen, P opted to release it as a direct-to-video feature, its packaging adorned with the eye-grabbing blurbs, "The Year's Most Anticipated Movie on the Streets" and "Banned in Theaters Across America."
More than anything I'm Bout It shows Master P's marketing genius at work -- genius, alas, that fails to carry over even remotely to the movie itself. Like a mercenary at a gun show, he lifts all the deadliest gangster-epic cliches from such well-known suppliers as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and especially Brian De Palma (after all, he directed 1983's Scarface, which is to black audiences what Pink Flamingos is to toilet-humor enthusiasts). Along with some character named Moon Jones, P directed I'm Bout It with all the flair of a dad videotaping his kid's high-school graduation. Characters blurt out "nigga" at a faster rate than they can breathe, which is of no help to a story line that is short on coherence and long on vulgarity and indecipherable narrative. Still, the movie does feature two laughingly unforgettable scenes: In one bloody deluge, a guy dashes a friend's skull to bits as he talks trash the whole way through. ("You fucked up my gear! Now how am I gonna see my bitches?") In another, sitcom veteran Helen Martin (the Ruth Gordon of the black acting world), inhales substantial amounts of ganja while calling up an escort service and asking for "a nice, warm dick for the night."
OK, so I'm Bout It might not have been Oscar material. But the number of copies it sold (around a quarter-million) made P ponder the power of video. Sure, P could take in a couple mil' here and there on the multiplex screen, as he did last May with the cheeseball, Miramax-distributed comedy I Got the Hook-Up. But he can reach an even bigger audience at home. The decision was a no-brainer: Following in the footsteps of Shannon Tweed, C. Thomas Howell, Anna Nicole Smith, and other straight-to-Blockbuster superstars, P will continue making flicks exclusively for the small screen. His increasing body of work will now share shelf space with the likes of Frankenhooker, Psycho Cop, and the cherished Slumber Party Massacre series.
To that effect MP Da Last Don is the second ghetto-based, gangsta-land saga from No Limit Films. Made with an accommodating budget (this time he could afford real stage blood) and a more experienced director in Michael Martin -- who also directed I Got the Hook-Up -- Da Last Don is P's very own Mafioso fairy tale. It's also a visual companion to his latest album of the same name. In the film P plays Nino Corleone, a college basketball coach and offspring to a bloated, pasty-white Italian godfather. (Don't even ask about the whole black/ Italian thing; the movie doesn't.) After his pops gets executed outside the steps of a church, Nino is deemed the new head of his old man's fledgling empire.
Despite the movie's polished look, the cracks in the story line couldn't be buffed out if the entire print were doused in Turtle Wax. And if that weren't enough, Master P gives, without question, the worst performance of any rapper-turned-actor captured on film. At least when Ice Cube and Ice-T toss out their lines on screen, they combine home-brewed attitude with a sense of detached irony. And even the softest rappers (Will Smith, Kid 'N Play) can come off as appealing -- if lightweight. Master P, however, is like a gawky, off-balance kid playing dress-up; the way he exhibits "true" emotion is, in a word, corny.

In all OECD countries, digital media and connectedness are integral to the lives of todays learners. It is often claimed that these learners are "new millennium learners", or "digital natives", who have different expectations about education. This book contributes to the debate about the effects of technology attachment and connectedness on todays learners, and their expectations about teaching.
The book sets out to answer the following questions: Can the claim that todays students are "new millenium learners" or "digital natives be sustained empirically? Is there consistent research evidence demonstrating the effects of technology on cognitive development, social values, and learning expectations? What are the implications for educational policy and practice?
Executive summaryIntroduction. Why connectedness matters-Its not about technology, its about connectedness -Reasons for increased policy relevance -How this report is organised-ReferencesChapter 1. How connectedness is shaping the economy and society -Overall economic impact on growth and productivity -Implications for employment and skills -The social uses of technology -Beyond access: new digital divides-ReferencesChapter 2. How relevant connectedness is for young people-Most young people in OECD countries are fully connected -The intensity and variety of uses of technology and connectedness -Yet not all young people are equally connected-ReferencesChapter 3. Contrasting views about the digital generation-Alternative views: evangelists, catastrophists and sceptics-Is there room for yet another approach-References Chapter 4. What are the effects of attachment to digital media and connectivity? -A research challenge-Cognitive skills development-Limits of available evidence-Social values and attitudes -Overall conclusion -ReferencesChapter 5.

Henderson County commissioners issued a letter last week requesting information from Sheriff Rick Davis and set a deadline of 5 p.m. Monday, but under North Carolina law, Davis is under no obligation to reply.Read the full article
The potential standoff illustrates the autonomy of elected sheriffs and has spawned conversation about whether that power structure is appropriate.
The letter, written by county Board of Commissioners Chairman Tommy Thompson, asks Davis to make public the details of any claim made against him while he was acting as sheriff which may have been covered by the county's insurers.
Just about two weeks before the commissioners issued the letter to Davis, the sheriff announced he was taking a leave of absence to deal with a diagnosis of manic bipolar disorder. In his statement, Davis said his behavior had become "erratic" and that he yelled at employees and made "bizarre decisions."
In an interview last week, Commissioner Larry Young said he thought it might be time to consider the creation of a county police agency responsible for law enforcement.

deflected off the body of forward Chris Porter in
The Kings got a break on their go-ahead goal. Penner's long shot deflected off Polak and sailed upward, eluding Elliott after he had sunk to his knees and sailing into the net. The goal was reviewed at the NHL's Toronto office and deemed to be good.
"They played a great series," Penner said. "They got unlucky a few times. We got lucky."
And they got to go on to the second round and give themselves a chance to write a sequel to last season's triumph.
"We still have some work to do," Richards said. "We played well enough to win the series. We can still get better and that was our goal from day one this year — improve right through to the last day."
With that last day, they hope, coming sometime in late June.

We are seduced by a policeman on New Year's Eve.
This story is being told by my wife Ann, a county policeman named Matt, and me, Tim. It happened early on in our marriage. My husband Tim and I were at the Under Armor store shopping for Christmas presents when I noticed a county policeman also shopping. He and I were in the women's section. I looked for my husband and he was unaware of me as he was shopping in the men's area. I looked up...Read On

When I became a teacher I learned many new things.
I had been living in London, a newly-qualified teacher, working in a very tough school, and it was as bad as that makes it sound. I really wasn't coping, I was being given support, but by Easter I had just about had enough and told the school that I would be leaving at the end of the summer term. They weren't surprised; the place had the same attrition rate on young people as a war zone. ...Read On

Putting on a show for her boyfriend, she gets a surprise
I suck my finger slowly as I stare deep into my webcam. My boyfriend, Dave, is watching me intently, his hand on the bulge in his boxer briefs. "That's it, baby," he says as I move my hand down to cup my bare breasts, sliding back on my bed slightly and adjusting the lid of my laptop to give him a better view. I bring my second hand up and roll my nipple between my thumb and forefinger....Read On

A young couple are coerced into performing for a dominant female.
She Caught Me Looking, Part II It had been about a year since Dave had been caught masturbating, to pictures of his beautiful former female boss, Natasha. Although she had threatened to prolong his punishment, she had been bluffing, probably just to make him sweat for a further day or so. When he returned to the stockroom, where she had originally caught him, he found a yellow post-it...Read On

Sex and sun by the lake
JUDY My friend Tammy told me about this guy she and Mark had met. They went up to his cottage a couple of weeks ago and it sounded like fun. She was a little coy when she talked about the hot tub, so I kind of wondered if they went nude. Last weekend she was going again and asked me if I wanted to go. I figured it would be nice to get out of the city and sit by the water, and just chill, so...Read On

biology comes to life for two young girls
I was seventeen the year it happened. I had known Cheryl for several years, it seemed like she had always been around. We grew up across the street from each other on the same cul-de-sac. We were the only kids on that small street so it was like our own private playground. Our folks were good friends so we were always at each other's houses. It was a pretty wonderful childhood.

My wife told me she always dreamed about me fucking one of her girlfriends, then she made it happen.
As soon as I met Donna at a party, I knew I wanted to be with her. I'm pretty tall, six-five, and she was five-eight, so we are at least in the same part of the stratosphere. She was bubbly and fun with wavy blond hair down just past her shoulders and her body, well, she's slender and curvy with beautiful long legs and a nice figure. Really she's got great boobs and likes guys to notice them. ...Read On

Late September…back in 2010…what a woman…what a man…oh, what a night!
I awoke the next morning shortly after daybreak. Steven had not awakened me for another go at my ass during the night. As far as I knew no one woke during the night. I had slept like a baby. I didn't hear a thing all night. I lay on my back for a few moments listening to Tammy and Steven breathing. Steven was lightly snoring. I quickly became aware of dull aches in my body due to the...Read On

Growing up, I had a friend named Jimmy. We never dated, but we did most everything together. I was a bit of a tom boy, and there just weren't that many guys around in our neighborhood. We became best friends all the way through high school. I'd talk to him 'bout my crushes and make up, and he'd tell me I was crazy. He'd talk about sports and cars, and I pretended to care.

Veronica stared at me for what seemed an eternity. Finally she looked away, her gaze fixed somewhere beyond the large garden bath window. Surely there was some hole in the ground I could crawl into and hide I thought. "Don't worry about it Howdy." she finally said, breaking the long, deafening silence, "I figured sooner or later, you would falter. All men lie and cheat. I just hoped that...Read On
