Dear Dagboek,,

Every time I awaken in the morning, I hear my vader calling “ Pamela Kay, get up my Klein Kind.” And every morning those words make me realize that my family is Dutch, that none of my classmates fathers call them Klein Kind, instead of just saying little one. And I realize that probably none of my classmates walk down to there kitchen and are welcomed to a steaming bowl of Dutch custard, or apple and prune compote. I know that all my classmates and acquaintances call their parents, mommy and daddy, or mama and dad. I guarantee none of them call there parents, vader and moeder. Or when speaking of there parents, call them ouders.

And all of this makes me realize that I really am special. That I am not like everyone else. And not only that, but I have a perfect life. I am a straight A student in my 3rd grade class. I have all the friends I need, and I am very fit, I am ahead of my whole class in horseback riding, my ouders are close to the best, and I have no pestering siblings to annoy me.

I’m actually not an only child, though. I have a brother Baldwin who is 23, and lives in a dorm with his mate.
He’s one of the reasons I think I’ll do so well in school, and in life. One of the reasons is because Baldwin never got a grade lower then a B+. Through all his years of highschool he got straight A’s in all subjects. He was an excellent golfer, and he never gave up. Baldwin now attends Harvard University in Boston, not to far from our house.

But Baldwin was a bit less social than I. My Moeder said that he never really had friends, and that he never really wanted to. She said Baldwin was always kind towards others, but when he realized he was *** he decided to not have a social life at all. He didn’t take being *** very well, he wanted to continue having crushes on girls, and doing what guys do. And the worst problem was, he figured this out at a very young age (11, actually). So he had to go to months of therapy to understand why he wasn’t attracted to girl any longer, and why his male friends looked attractive and appealing. But once he understood all about his gayness, he really let it go. He sadly lost his friends (and he only had a few), but he really didn’t care. The reason he didn’t care was because the fact that his few friends would not hang out with him anymore just because he was *** showed him that there was a really bad problem in today’s society. And that’s what his best selling book titled “Nothings normal” is all about. And now that Baldwins become so comftorable with his condition, his “mate” is actually his new significant other. His name is Chezxer, and he is very nice.

As for my ouders, they met in Holland. They both came from very poor families, They actually grew up on the same poor street their whole childhood.
Their ouders (my grootouders) never had much hope for their family. My grootouders were severely ill, and they knew they only had very limited time to spend on the earth. When my grootouders died, my ouders vowed that they would find a way to go to college, and have a better life than their parents did. After high school they didn’t see each other for about 3 years because they both went to America, they thought they may never see each other again. But when they met up at MIT ( Massachusetts institute of technology) they started to talk again, and soon they started dating, and before they knew it they both had their master degrees in robotics, and then they knew they had done what there parents couldn’t do, they were extremely satisfied with themselves. And about 4 months later, my vader proposed to my moeder. They were married in a beautiful Buddhist church, with all their friends and families.

And it wasn’t long before they both became very successful, they both had jobs at a robotic institute and there pay checks were extremely good.

And about a year later, my moeder gave birth to Baldwin, and 14 years later, they gave birth to me.
(( Take note I am writing as a dutch girl))

Coming from Massachusetts (Boston) where it cost a fortune to live…..
How can life not be so much easier moving to a large city like Louisville Kentucky where there has to be work available. Even a warehouse labor job, anything! Homes there are a third of the price compared to here in Massachusetts. Can someone give me a good reason not to relocate? Can someone convince me that it isnt any easier to make a living in Louisville. Two people working for 10 to 12 per hour should be able to afford a home and everything else and have no worries. You cant get a home up here for less than 250,000 (fixer upper 60 to 100yrs old).
How could Kentucky possibly be struggling like we do here in Mass? Half the population up here spend their lives in small apartments. I grew up in 900sq ft apartment building. I want out, Kentucky is so cheap! Can someone convince me otherwise?
I know i’ll miss everything you mentioned but the cost of living up here is nearly impossible for me to offer my family a home with a yard. I would have never thought about leaving if i hadnt already moved to Phoenix, AZ for 6 years and ive lived in Nashville, TN for 2 years. I loved both places but there is no place like the southern country filled with great personalities. I only moved back here so my kids could have family but now im regretting the financial part. Though it is great my kids have a family that loves them. I even went to college and that isnt doing anything for me up here in Boston. What other options do i have. I’m being forced out of my home state due to the extremely high cost of living with pretty low wages. You have to make atleast 100k for an income to get by with children. Good luck, Unless your a blue collar or yuppy.

What’s the difference between an illegal alien stealing an American job, and Martin Luther King Jr. fighting for American rights?Don’t know? Congratulations, you too could be on the Boston City Council!Led by Councilor at Large Sam Yoon, the council passed a resolution last week endorsing something called the “Welcoming Massachusetts Pledge.” No, it’s not an effort to promote tourism – unless the word “tourist” has replaced “undocumented worker” as the amnesty crowd’s euphemism of choice.The pledge is instead a document declaring that every illegal immigrant has the “unalienable right” to come and live in Massachusetts. As a result, enforcing immigration laws “violates civil and human rights of immigrants.”

All immigrants? No, just the “undocumented tourists.”

Do our city councilors really believe that illegal immigration is a “civil rights” issue? If they have any vague familiarity with the English language, surely they know that “civil” issues are those that relate to “citizenship.” Citizens have civil rights. Foreign terrorists in Guantanamo Bay and off-the-books Brazilian painters in Jamaica Plain do not.

Well, actually, Brazilian, Mexican and Irish illegal immigrants do have civil rights. To claim them, they need only return to (respectively) Brazil, Mexico and Ireland.

What made the Jim Crow era so offensive was watching American citizens being turned away from American ballot boxes. Citizens from Maine to Malibu didn’t march for black people; they marched for American people.

Bull Connor took from Dr. King his rights as an American. Illegal immigrants steal across our border to take the privileges of America, and jobs, from Americans. http://www.bostonherald.com/news/opinion/op_ed/view.bg?articleid=1072934

The pledge is instead a document declaring that every illegal immigrant has the “unalienable right” to come and live in Massachusetts.
Do they also have the unalienable right to steal other people’s social security numbers and ID’s to get jobs there too

Heres the deal. My brothers ex is a lying, vindictive person. They have a 6 month old together, and they broke up two months ago. She cut off my whole families visitation of the baby, and we have to wait to go to court to get anything done.
The only thing she has against him is a threatening email against her from a while ago. She made up some lies and got a restraining order on him couple months back stating that he sent her a bunch of threatening text messages, (which he didn’t). She filed for sole custody and no visitation rights for anyone in my family including the father.
She is a really immature person. 21 years old, no driver’s license, no education, no job, no motivation. In addition, she lives in a three bedroom apartment with the baby and 4 other family members. None of the family has jobs, they are all on welfare, foodstamps, etc.
My brother is an electrician, I am going to school, and my parents are both hardworking with jobs. My brother has a house for her to live in.
What do you think the chances are of him getting visitation rights of the child? Keep in mind that we are in liberal massachusetts.
We’ve all ready reported the family to Dept of Social Services, they, being a liberal feminist association, didn’t do anything.

So im a junior in high school and lived in the boston area so i want go into a college in the massachusetts area because save money first living at my mom house. The thing is i have been researching through so many sites about school ranking and best school for career cause i want to major in business or maybe law. I want to plan this now because i dont want to be stressed in senior year and then end up in the wrong college without much advice. I want that Career after finishing undergraduate,bachelor like start with a salary at around 50 K. Then I want to go to graduate school for business or law which im still thinking about because i love both and they do have a a lot great paying careers .So From THose EXPERIENCED in the Position I been through, Did you guys received those jobs that start of making 40 to 50 K a year after getting you bachelor? Especially Those That went To college in Massachusetts? I desperately need anyone advice because i just want to stay a step ahead in life

I will be graduating next semester with hopefully a 2.85 with a BS in Biology. I haven’t exactly done much over my undergrad career. I’ve tried time and time again to apply for internships, but failed. I tried to get jobs in the laboratories on campus but that failed too – I wasn’t eligible for work study. It was easier with my learning disability over my college career to not work a normal job. I just tried to focus on studying! Basically, I feel very mediocre.

I go to a pretty good school in Massachusetts and I would like to work in a lab after graduation. Thing is, to get anywhere in laboratory science I feel you should get a graduate degree.

I would like to go to Umass Lowell for Clinical Laboratory Science but they “recommend” a 3.0 GPA at least. Would my chances of being accepted to the graduate program increase drastically if I took graduate certificate classes there and did well?

A “Green Recovery” report recently released by the Center for American Progress and Dr. Robert Pollin from the University of Massachusetts Political Economy Research Institute looks at how a $100 billion strategic investment can generate 2 million new, well-paying jobs (at least $16/hour) in the renewable and energy efficiency sectors and beyond.

The bottom of this page contains links to the report’s breakdown by state.

http://climateprogress.org/2008/09/22/what-would-a-green-recovery-do-for-your-state/

For example, in California this green investment would result in a 1.3% decrease in unemployment. The job creation would be seen primarily in the manufacturing and construction sectors, both of which sorely need the boost.

What would this Green Recovery do for your state?

Vermont legalizes *** marriage with veto override

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090407/ap_on_re_us/gay_marriage_vermont

By DAVE GRAM, Associated Press Writer Dave Gram, Associated Press Writer – 2 hrs 1 min ago

MONTPELIER, Vt. – Vermont on Tuesday became the fourth state to legalize *** marriage — and the first to do so with a legislature’s vote.

The House recorded a dramatic 100-49 vote, the minimum needed, to override Gov. Jim Douglas’ veto. Its vote followed a much easier override vote in the Senate, which rebuffed the Republican governor with a vote of 23-5.

Vermont was the first state to legalize civil unions for same-sex couples and joins Connecticut, Massachusetts and Iowa in giving gays the right to marry. Their approval of *** marriage came from the courts.

Tuesday morning’s legislative action came less than a day after Douglas issued a veto message saying the bill would not improve the lot of *** and ******* couples because it still would not provide them rights under federal and other states’ laws.

Douglas called override “not unexpected.” He had called the issue of *** marriage a distraction during a time when economic and budget issues were more important.

“What really disappoints me is that we have spent some time on an issue during which another thousand Vermonters have lost their jobs,” the governor said Tuesday. “We need to turn out attention to balancing a budget without raising taxes, growing the economy, putting more people to work.”

House Speaker Shap Smith’s announcement of the vote brought an outburst of jubilation from some of the hundreds packed into the gallery and the lobby outside the House chamber, despite the speaker’s admonishment against such displays.

Among the celebrants in the lobby were former Rep. Robert Dostis, D-Waterbury, and his longtime partner, Chuck Kletecka. Dostis recalled efforts to expand *** rights dating to an anti-discrimination law passed in 1992.

“It’s been a very long battle. It’s been almost 20 years to get to this point,” Dostis said. “I think finally, most people in Vermont understand that we’re a couple like any other couple. We’re as good and as bad as any other group of people. And now I think we have a chance to prove ourselves here on forward that we’re good members of our community.”

Dostis said he and Kletecka will celebrate their 25th year together in September.

“Is that a proposal?” Kletecka asked.

“Yeah,” Dostis replied. “Twenty-five years together, I think it’s time we finally got married.”

Craig Bensen, a *** marriage opponent who had lobbied unsuccessfully for a nonbinding referendum on the question, said he was disappointed but believed *** marriage opponents were outspent by supporters by a 20-1 margin.

“The other side had a highly funded, extremely well-oiled machine with all the political leadership except the governor pushing to make this happen,” he said. “The fact that it came down to this tight a vote is really astounding.”

Also in the crowd was Michael Feiner, a farmer from Roxbury and *** marriage supporter, who took a break from collecting sap for maple syrup-making to come to the Statehouse.

“I’m taking a break to come and basically make sure that I was here to witness history,” he said.

The House had initially approved the bill last week with a 95-52 vote. Smith and his leadership team worked through the weekend to try to persuade some legislators to change their minds.

One who did was first-term Rep. Jeff Young, D-St. Albans. He said he continued to be philosophically opposed to *** marriage, but decided that voting with his fellow Democrats would help him be an effective legislator in the future.

“You realize that, you know, it’s a poker game in some ways,” Young said. “Chips on the table. I’m a freshman. I have no chips. If I … had 20 years of chips, I probably could play any card I want. I don’t have that option.”

He added, “It’s the way the political game is played.”
