Nicholas' School Project

Here's Nich showing off his finished school project. It's Saffy - A Bengal Tiger he is going to show off tomorrow night at his school with the rest of his class (04/17/08). He did an EXCELLENT JOB!!!!

He helped Todd and I kneed the modeling clay to make it brown, made 3 deer out of it, and painted the box. All Todd and I had to do was guide and assist with the plants. He even let me make 1 deer too for his scene. Then Nich and I sat down and wrote his report. Here's a copy of it:

oOWNER: Nicholas Whitehead-Perez
oName of Creature: Saffy – A Bengal Tiger
oWhat Color Is It? Saffy is orange and white, with black stripes.
oWhere It Lives: India, Bangladesh, and Nepal
oWhat Does It Eat: Saffy eats fish, deer, baby elephants and rhinoceros, wild boar, and water buffalo.
oWould It Make a Good Pet? No
oWhy Not? It is a wild animal.
oIs It a Mammal? Yes
oCan You See It At The Zoo? Yes
oInteresting Facts: Saffy can jump down from trees. He eats fish out of the water and sometimes eats monkeys.

We had a lot of fun.







People are interesting...

Recently, in all 3 of my blogs, I posted my thoughts and feelings about conflict amongst friends, which I have both seen and experienced - with different friends, at different times, in my life.

What I found fascinating, were the very different responses I received from friends regarding this particular post.

One replied to my post via a vile and repugnant voice message on my phone. Another posted in one of my blogs attacking me for what they thought was post about them. Lastly, one replied to my post and said the best kind of friend is one who is honest to you when you need it and stands by you while you figure things out, and that my friend should be glad to have me as a friend and a resource.

So I'm left to wonder....

Why would friend(s) lash out at me instead of asking for clarification if they felt I made a post about them? Why would another take it for what it is, a post of what's in my head and heart?

So I'm off to ponder more...and post again soon.

So what does one say to a friend who has been lied to and betrayed...?

Even tougher, what does one say to a friend, who has been lied to and betrayed, by a mutual friend...?

I say this…

I am a person who really tries to find a positive in each and every situation, but I cannot find any in this one. This mutual friendship is lost and it really hurts. This friend, I really respected and admired for many reasons, but no longer.

They gave it all up because they would rather be in a "relationship" with someone who is continuously conniving, deceitful, sneaky, controlling, hounding, harassing, condescending, belittling, inhospitable, rude, domineering, and insecure. A “relationship” that is at a minimum, unhealthy, unbalanced, and dysfunctional, and at a maximum, abusive.

This “relationship” is creating lasting negative impacts on relationships with their family and other friends. How much more do they have to lose?

I wish this person would wake up and see it for what it really is. But I am not optimistic they will before it is too late and too much has been lost.

It's unfortunate that this friend fails to understand that everyone, including them, deserves to be treated with dignity, honesty, and respect - always!

So I am standing up and saying enough is enough. No matter how destructive they wish to be with their own life, I will not stand by and watch another person suffer the consequences for it.

Unlike you, I will do what I am able to do and assist a friend and together, we will all move forward. Life is not a destination, but a journey.

Karma happens. What comes around goes around.
