I received a wonderful letter from
MR BILL VANDERBILT for the prayer request we had put out for him, Ally & Baby Savannah.
Here is what Bill had to say;
Greetings Adlanders
I would just like to take a moment a thank the AdlandPro Administration and the Newsletter
Staff for providing us with a great place to socialize, promote our businesses and make
friends. The opportunity to exchange ideas and even cultures with people from all over the
world is a very special concept and nowhere can you do this better than right here at
AdlandPro.
I would particularly like to thank Marilyn and the Newsletter staff for the prayer request
that they published for Ally, myself and our new baby on the way. As you have been informed,
Ally has been having some difficulty with premature labor but the real threat to the baby's
health is over now. Ally has past the critical 36 week point and the Dr says there should be
no complications having a normal, healthy birth of our new baby. So, all I can say is thank
you all for your kind thoughts and prayers and I will keep you posted on the progress of our
pregnancy.
Thanks Again Everybody and many blessings to you all.
Sincerely,
Bill, Ally, Summer and Baby Savannah
Thank you for the great letter Bill! It is always a pleasure for the Newsletter Team to share
and care about all of our AdlandPro friends and family.

According to the Edgar Cayce readings, what is the essence of the spiritual path for each
soul? In other words, what is the journey of the soul?
Well, in essence, the journey and the whole point of the soul is to learn, and grow, in order
to earn its right to return to the Source and sit by the side of the Creator.
Edgar Cayce’s readings are quite eastern in philosophical thought. He is, in fact,
essentially responsible for awakening western culture to the notion of reincarnation.

THE POETRY CORNER
You know, I just love reading poetry! I was very impressed though with this next person that I am featuring here In the Poetry Corner, because she truly has an innate talent. I am referring to none other than our very own MS TERRY GORLEY.
I had the pleasure of Interviewing Terry to find out more about her poetry writing and here is what she had to say to me;
Q.) Terry, I just love the poems that you write. I was wondering, along with our readers,
when did you first start writing, and what made you start writing poetry?
A. I started writing poetry back in the early 70's mostly as way to express my feelings.
They tended to have a negative tone to them.
In the early 80's I began entering poetry contests. I received minor awards, have several
published and a few accepted for the "Sounds of Poetry."
After being diagnosed in 1989 as being Bi-polar (an "in between" ... long story) going through
the years of 'ell with Depression, mood swings and the side effects of medications, in 1994 I
sought the help of a psychologist and learned about my illness, but more importantly I learned
about myself.
My writing now reflects a more positive attitude. I see my writing, especially my "Specialisms" as a gift for having endured the years of Depression.
Q.) I am sorry to hear about all the trials and tribulations that you have been through.
Depression is not an easy thing to deal with. So, where do you get your inspiration from for
all your writings? There is so much feeling in the poems that I have read…I often wonder what
inspires you to write a particular poem.
A. My inspiration comes mostly from my own personal feelings, people, words or phrases and
nature. I'm more inspired when I'm on the "high" side of my bi-polar moods or when I've
turned the corner from a very low period.
Thank you very much Terry for answering a couple questions for all of us. You are such an
inspiration to us all. I want to thank you for allowing us to Interview you and to feature you
here in our Newsletter. It has been my pleasure for sure.
Here is a poem of Terry's that she has entitled "Solicitude", I hope you all enjoy it!
Solicitude
A fantasy of frivolous thinking,
Fragmented thoughts
Inspired by imprinted pictures;
Memories,
Clear as the bluest sky,
Cloudy as an English day,
Obscure in their reality;
A mirage
To contemplate,
To complicate,
To corner a feeling,
To drown in
Or a simple place to hide ...
To seek ... to find ... to understand
You.

Car sale
Judi tried to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems
selling it, because the car had 250,000 miles.
One day, she told her problem to a friend she worked with at a
salon. Her friend told her, "There is a possibility to make the
car easier to sell, but it's not legal."
"That doesn't matter," replied Judi, "if only I can sell the
car."
"Okay," said Judi's friend. "Here is the address of a friend of
mine. He owns a car repair shop. Tell him I sent you and he will
turn the counter in your car back to 50,000 miles. Then it
should not be a problem to sell your car anymore."
The following weekend, Judi made the trip to the mechanic. Two
weeks later the friend asked Judi, "Did you sell your car?"
"No," replied Judi, "why should I? It only has 50,000 miles on
it!"
A mother and a daughter are shopping in the mall, when the
mother eyes an expensive fur coat. "This year," she says, "I
think that I will buy my present instead of making you and dad
shop for me." The daughter nods in agreement. "And I think this
fur coat would be perfect too."
The daughter protests, "But mom, some helpless, poor creature
has to suffer so that you can have this."
"Don't worry honey," says the mother, "your father won't get the
bill for a couple of weeks."
A good friend of mine warned me that, as my three daughters
became old enough to date, I'd disapprove of every young man
Who took them out.
But when the time came, I was pleased that my friend's
prediction was wrong. Each boy was pleasant and well mannered.
Talking to one of my daughters one day, I said that I liked all
the young men she and her sisters brought home.
"You know, Dad," she replied, "we don't show you everybody."
Two elderly women were fussing about their husbands over tea one
day.
"I do wish my Leroy would stop biting his nails. That makes me
terribly nervous!" the first one said.
"Oh, my Elmer used to do the same thing," the other woman
commented. "But I broke him of that habit real quick."
"What did you do?"
"I hid his teeth!"

Well I wasn't a bit surprised when I heard that Rose, Jenny and Venerina's forum, Art
Exhibitions at AdlandPro won the Best Forum of the Month Award last month.
Every three weeks there is a new exhibition in this forum, each one
showing a different person's work, each beautifully displayed, each
giving us a glimpse of yet another example of the huge and diverse reservoir
of talent we have right here at AdlandPro.
The 15th Art Exhibition is no exception, and it is special in its own
way because it features one of its creators, Jenny's own creations.
Jenny has been called "The Angel Lady" and for good reason. Have you seen
her work? She paints everything from cherubs to nativity scenes and many
are displayed here.
Jenny started painting these angels for a charity event and they were
so popular that it has turned out to be a full time business. The
figures are simply delightful and can be purchased from her website, "Alas Y
Cia", the English version of which can be seen here. If you
are lucky enough to live in or near Granada, Spain, you can even find
information here about her workshops and craft directories for the area.
Congratulations, ladies for your well-deserved forum award!
You can visit The 15th Art Exhibition of Jenny's work here, and
if you'd like to invite Jenny to be a friend, click here.

***************** FEATURED FORUM********************
Let's say you are having a bad morning. The clothes you wanted to wear
are wet in the washer because you forgot to put them in the dryer last
night when your friend stopped by, the phone rings just as you are
getting out of the shower, your computer gets stuck in the middle of
booting up, and you have just figured out that you are out of coffee - you know, one of those everything-that-can-go-wrong-does sort of mornings.
Well, relax, try a cup of tea for a change, reboot the computer, and go straight on over to Marion Tucker's
Something to
Make You Smile Forum.
You deserve a good laugh about now, and take
your pick. There are lots of stories and jokes to choose from. Like
frogs? Click on Frog
Story. And what's this? Roses and
Hanging Baskets? Now, isn't that better?
I've enjoyed this forum for quite a while now, but I wondered what
Marion thought about it so I asked. Here's our conversation.
Q. I've visited your Something To
Make You Smile forum many times and was wondering what gave you
the idea to start it and how it has added to your experience here at
AdlandPro..
A. I started this forum to take some of the dullness out of all the
business being conducted here. It does get monotonous and boring being
all work and no play. Being able to put a smile on someones face and
cheer the place up a bit was what made me do this forum. Come visit and
see. :-)
Q. Do you have any advice for people just thinking about starting up a
forum on how to make it successful over time?
A. It is hard to say what kind of forum will be successful here. I
would say things that are either helpful or relieve a bit of stress are
the best ones to try for. Not just a bunch of hype!
Q. Is there anything you'd like to add about your forum or your
experience here at AdlandPro?
A. I try making my "Something To Make You Smile" forum entries
something I think different types of people will enjoy which is very hard to
do. I usually end my forums by closing with "Blessings" and my name so
when I put in a somewhat bolder joke, there was someone that was not
happy and told me so in there. I believe God has a sense of humor though
and I don't think he would mind if I don't stick to just religious
jokes and stories. I never mean to offend anyone and put these jokes or
stories in there without ill will toward anyone. When you get fussed at,
it does tend to put a damper on the spirit of things. Guess we cannot
please everyone. My experience all in all with AdlandPro had been
good. Heck, I have been here long enough. LOL!
Lots of Blessings,
Marion
