No such thing.

You can be anything you want to be if you work hard enough.<br /><br />To some that dream is different as all our dreams are. <br /><br />The love and care of the land was Our American Dream and it has been true since my collective ancestors passed through Ellis Island. It was not easy but they saw their dreams come true.<br /><br />They believed if you cared for the land, the land would care for you. We have inherited that mind set and try to carry on the tradition.<br /><br />Good post.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-67235621230773739972009-10-18T12:50:46.385+02:002009-10-18T12:50:46.385+02:00Stacie, I feel I came very close to living the Ame...Stacie, I feel I came very close to living the American Dream. Let's say I had a very big taste of it and I am sorry it didn't work out. My dream was very flawed, but for some of my friends it worked and it is still working. It's an illusion that some people are able to make come true. I was not one of them.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-69989707067077740182009-10-18T12:06:29.981+02:002009-10-18T12:06:29.981+02:00I like all the links.

It was fun and we took turns in providing the food and it usually lasted until well past midnight. It's either the changing times or the Irish are different but people here don't seem to do this kind of thing. Pity really, we had some great times, with Trivial Pursuit, Uno and the likes.Babaloohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453252897926773386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-87095069561786233322009-10-18T07:19:11.503+02:002009-10-18T07:19:11.503+02:00I do not understand the American Dream.

There are some things it's definitely better not to know!<br /><br />So, you were a Desperate Housewife?!<br /><br />However things looked from the outside there are sure to have been many other women living in middle class surburbia who felt pretty bad on the inside. A lot of people are just good at covering up their secret despair.<br /><br />Yes we are very lucky to live in countries where there is a good welfare system and excellent free healthcare. Very lucky indeed. <br /><br />Hope you and the furry ones are merrily asleep by now,<br />Bearfriend xxFriend of the Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338137165061207438noreply@blogger.com
