Many people are unaware of what is "theft" of graphics. Many people do not understand the difference between what is allowed to be done with graphics and what is not. Here are some basic out lines of what you can and can not do with graphics on the net: Uploading graphics from one Graphics site to any other Graphics sites, is considered redistributing. Redistributing graphics with out the artist permission is STEALING! Photo Bucket is NOT Public Domain and many of the graphics there are there without the artists permission. Many people do not realize that they should set their albums to PRIVATE to keep their Pictures and graphics from being stolen. Many do not realize that if they are collecting graphics they like in their albums they are also allowing those graphics to be stolen if their album is not set to PRIVATE. That is very unfair the the artists of those graphics because many people do not realize that PHOTO BUCKET and site like it are NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN. Photo Bucket is NOT a good place to get graphic resources (graphics you can use to make graphics or layouts). If you use graphics from Photo Bucket chances are that you are stealing somebody's hard work, or Personal Pictures. If you are using graphic creation sites such as Blingee or Imikimi to "make" graphics even if you crop off the site name, it is stealing if you redistribute them by uploading those graphics to other Graphic sites. Those site are for making PERSONAL graphics for use on PRIVATE sites such a family web pages, memorial sites ect. only. DO NOT use graphics found on Glitter-Graphics to "make" graphics or layouts, it is STEALING and against the TOU (terms of use)of the site. PERSONAL USE ONLY means you can use the graphics to decorate and send to friends on personal sites such as here on GG, MYSPACE, Private Family web sites and private memorial sites. Taking a graphic and "altering" it (adding a background, frame, wording or covering over parts such as the signature tag) does not make that graphic yours, it is still stolen unless you have gotten permission from the original artist to use the graphic. Do Not use any art that you do not know who the artist is or where it is from, and always give credit the the artist who's work you use. There are many sites on the net that provide resource artwork for making graphics. Make sur to always follow each artists ToU. Thank You to all of my friends that have made me these wonderful graphics! I download and save EVERY graphic made for me. I have a huge amount of computer storage space :)

I have not been here as often as I would like to
as I have been quite busy with some activities and
have also been down with a bad, bad flu and cough.
It has definitely been very difficult these past weeks.
Things are looking better and so I am here today.
You are wonderful, important, beautiful
the greatest and "You Are Valuable"
The capacity to bless life is in everybody. The power of
our blessing is not diminished by illness or age. On
the contrary, our blessings become even more powerful
as we grow older.
When we truly care for someone ...
you do not look for faults,
you do not look for answers,
you do not look for mistakes,
instead you fight the mistakes,
you accept the faults, and
you over look the excuses!
Have a blessed Day!
We will one day remember not, the words of many,
but we will remember the blessed kindness of a friend.

Just wanted to come by and let you know that I thought about you today...I know that situations like your'e going through are not easy and very painful to bear. I pray that he will give you strength through your loss. I will continue to pray for you, my friend.

Siabhra,
I do know what you are dealing with! My daughter
had a boyfriend for many years. He became like a
son to us. When they broke up, I think we were more
distraught than our daughter. However, with time, we
healed from the loss and she is now married to an amazing
man! In another situation, our son was recently divorced,
and it broke our hearts to lose a "daughter" we had come
to love. In situations like these, I have to tell myself
that there are reasons for everything and despite the fact
that I hate change, change happens and I have to go on and
face it! I am not trying to give advice, my friend, as
everyone faces things in different ways. What I am saying
is that "this too will pass!" I will certainly continue
to lift you in my thoughts and prayers and hope that your
tears will cease and the hurt will lessen.
Big Hugs, Rita

Yes, sweet friend, it seems like God is very far away
sometimes, but he is as near as our heart and he hears
every breath we take. He knows when we hurt! I have
kept a little poem in my Bible. I recite it when there
are situations occur that seem insurmountable.
God never promised
A life without pain,
Laughter without tears
Or sun without rain.
But He did promise
Strength for the day,
Comfort for the tears
And light for the way,
And for all who believe
In His Heaven above
He rewards their faith,
In His everlasting love.
There is little I can do except keep you in my
thoughts and prayers. However, I know that God
can sustain you and He will if you just ask! One
day at a time, right Siabhra? It is my hope and
prayer that you will feel God's love, despite the
difficulties you are facing! And, my love, too!
Big Hugs and Smooches, Rita
