Something to think about this 4th of July...
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his ... Read more ...

In which world do I really dwell...
I find myself in somewhat a dilemma....
I have always walked the path of understanding, I never judge people for their actions. Not even when their actions have reactions upon my own life.
Recently a friend of mine was exposed as a person they were, in real life not..
I pondered this dilemma for a while and it was my decision to forgive them...
This decision however did not seem to go down to well with a few people. One person in particular whom, I'm sure if they are reading this will realise that it is themself that this blog is aimed at...
I have a good friend on here who I thought understood me. I realise now that they never understood me at all. I'm a simple man, I work hard and I have complete faith in the goodness of everybody I meet, be it here in the virtual world or in real life. I will never apologise for being this way, not even if it means my goodfriend neve ... Read more ...
I am pretty sure that the vast majority of "EBW" is now aware of the "EGGSPOSE"
It was a shock to me and I mean this in no small measure, that the friend I had chatted to for such a long time here on "EBW" was so unceremoniously "EGGSPOSED"

So, the question is.... What do we have here..?
I found out from another good friend of mine here on "EBW" that "EggOnlyEgg" was not whom she appeared to be..... "SHOCK/HORROR"
I guess I just believed everyone on-line was who they claimed to be.... Male/Female, Fat/Thin, Gorgeous/Ugly....etc..
Well, fortunately I was one of the 90+% of people here on "EBW" who was not quite so gullible.....
My feelings towards "EGG" have in no way changed. I still feel secure in the fact that feelings and thoughts that I have shared with her will forever remain private, ... Read more ...
