BABETTE GUMAHAD. Babette is an awesome poet. Q. How long have you been writing poetry, Babette? A. I used to write as a child, but stopped when I went through teen-age "rebellion". Then I started writing again in my mid-late 20's, and then I stopped completely again. I recently started writing again, all the poems posted in my forum I wrote in July 2007. What motivates your writings? Well, Nov. 05 I began experiencing neurological symptoms. Jan. 06, I was diagnosed with having a brain lesion, then Feb. with a serious neurological illness. Procedures were again repeated in latter part of April 06 to re-confirm. Went through the whole roller coaster ride of emotions, denial, etc. I had to take medical leave from work Feb 5, 2006 and returned April 9, 2006. I found out that day that I had been demoted from being Executive Director to Sr. Director of Operations. It took a lot of courage to continue with the company. May 21, 2006, 911 was called...then I knew I was going to be placed on short-term disability and now long-term disability through my employer. My illness is my motivation. I find it as a release of internal and external emotional pain and anger Does the writing just flow, or is it something you have to work at? For some reason words suddenly appear in my vision. Once I start writing, all words used just fluidly flow in my vision, then onto the paper. I can describe it as if someone is dictating these words to me. It takes about 5-10 mins to finish a poem. This is considered as God's blessing, bringing back the creativity once hidden and lost. By Babette Gumahad Punishing one's worth, with thoughts of only you Trusting fate as one can only hope, Release the angst unbind the emotions, Copyright ©2007 Babette Gumahad I want to thank Babette for this great poem, and for letting us know a little bit more about herself. We would like to wish Babette much more continued success with writing her poetry, and with whatever else life has to offer her. Good Luck to you! Written By: JUDY SMITH

You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windshield that said "Parking Fine." That was so nice. ********************* Before our division was deployed, we had to repaint our Humvees from their normal "olive drab" to a "sand" color. The result was a pinkish hue ... and then the jokes began. One guy renamed us the Pink Panzer Division, but the best was the bumper sticker that said: "Ask me about Mary Kay." ********************* A New York boy was being led through the swamps of Louisiana by his cousin. "Is it true that an alligator won't attack you if you carry a flashlight?" The cousin smirked and replied, "Depends on how fast ya carry the flashlight." ******************** I was shopping with my roommate, and I saw a humorous button that said, "It might look like I'm doing nothing, but on a cellular level, I'm quite busy." I showed it to her, and her response was, "Oh, I should buy that one, I'm always talking on mine." Contributed By: NAN HERRING

* * * *THE ART CORNER* * * *
I am thrilled and honored to be the writer of this edition of THE ART CORNER. These ladies work so hard always. These 3 ladies, ROSE ENDERUD, JENNY SJ, VENERINA CONTI, really out do themselves presenting this forum to us every 3 weeks. I have the extreme privilege and honor to bring to all of you the artwork of our very own ROSE ENDERUD. Rose as you all know is the creator of this fantastic forum, and Rose, Jenny & Venerina have done an absolute marvelous job continuously with it! Rose has been a member of AdlandPro since October of 2005, so she has been with us for quite a while and is well liked by all! She is very active in the Community, and she brings us 2 wonderful Art forums that are very enjoyable to read, and filled with alot of valuable information. All of us at AdlandPro appreciate all that she does for the Community, and for her love of artwork and presenting it to us. Rose says she grew up around artists, her Mom did some artwork, at school they pushed the children to explore their artistic talents, and she watched many Artshows on Public television. Rose has a sister who is an accomplished artist, so I guess maybe it runs in the genes! Rose has no formal training she says, but her sister does help her out by giving her pointers from time to time, so I am sure that has helped her a great deal. Please visit Rose's website at www.artisticrose.ws and you will be able to see alot of Rose's artwork there. Rose has some really beautiful paintings there! I hope that you all will enjoy reading more about Rose and her artwork on her forum, and here are a couple examples of her talent; 
  I hope you will enjoy this Art Exhibition as much as I did. Written By: MARILYN MARTIN
