I was having a conversation with my mother the other day and we were talking that she wishes she developed better friendships while she was younger – She had her husband, but he died 6 years ago and she broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years and she is trying to get herself back together. She told me – Make some friends — you have Madhujit, but a women needs to have some girlfriends. To be honest with you – I have been happy with the few friends that I have – I have always been more of a small group and never really branched out. So now, trying to take my mother’s advice, the question is where do you find these friends…. I am interested in reading – but cannot met regularly, I love to cook, but beyond expensive cooking lessons, what else is there? I also enjoy my dogs – but they walk horrid on a leash…. I will have to start looking in to this….

Priest convicted of slaying nun
An Ohio priest was convicted Thursday of stabbing a Catholic nun to death as she prepared for Easter services 26 years ago, a murder prosecutors say was steeped in religious ritual.

This is on the front page on MSN.COM and for a life-long toledoan I just think to myself – wow what a way for Toledo to make national and most-likely international news. I am too young to remember Fr. Robinson as he was parish of the church that we belong to but my uncle can remember. It is really sad what the Catholic religion has become- there is a distance from the establishment of the church and God I feel. I accept the catholic belief only to a certain extent – and I think the faith needs to change with the times, and not stay in the distant past otherwise more followers will look elsewhereÂ
