| I don't want to get your hopes up, but I just heard from a reliable source that someone is buying the house and is actually going to fix it up and live in it. Personally, would bulldoze it and build a new house. Anyway, good luck to the new owner! |

My vote is NO.
I actually saw a devout Muslim lady on the news, who said that her faith taught her to not do things that would hurt others and she was AGAINST it! She said she felt that it was very "INSENSITIVE" and that alone should make it wrong. That was her word-insensitive-I have to agree with her. It is a reminder to many of what happened that very sad day.
First of all, no matter what faith you have, you have to realize this was a burial ground-that alone makes me think there should be some kind of remembrance to the lives lost created there.
I could add a lot more-but I think both of those reasons should be sufficient. Surely there are many other places this mosque can be built.
God bless the USA.

Hi All,
My mother has early onset dementia and it's getting progressively worse. In the next year, I expect she will probably be moved to a dementia type unit. I have noticed as of late, that she is neglecting to walk her dogs as often as she should. Her apartment's aroma gave it away. She always had food and water down for them when I visit..but I'm fairly sure her ability to care for them will decline rapidly over the next few months or year. It's all a guessing game with this type of dementia (FTD).
My mother moved in with us and brought her dogs as well. So...my husband has "done his time." Mother loves living at her independent seniors facility in Vestavia, but I pretty much forced her to move there in the beginning when I became pregnant. My husband is an animal lover, but he HATES my mother's 2 small dogs- Cookie and Lucy. They weren't brought up well by Mom and her now deceased husband. I think they have a fear of men. They bark at the slightest noise. Cookie who is normally a lazy lap dog, bit someone out on a walk with my mother in BP a few years back. We quarantined him. I couldn't bring myself to put him down though when my mother was so tearful. He's been a good dog with no incidents since that one. He's blonde with curly hair and looks like part dauschand. Lucy, looks like part Basenji and is very skittish. You can't get her to relax and just be petted very often.
They are both capable of holding it, if they are taken outside regularly to relieve themselves. They are around 6-7 years old. They've lived their whole lives together. I can't take the dogs back in bc even though Cookie seems nice, I can't take a the chance of her possibly biting my child. I also would probably no longer have a husband - as I promised him they would never return.
Are any of you out there with huge hearts willign to consider taking one or both of these animals when the time comes for Mother to have to give them up? Please give it some thought adn PM me if so. I can send pics. Thanks, Michele |
