Bloggers Unite, a community on Blog Catalog, has a writing project on September 27, 2007: Stop the Abuse.

I wrote on four different types of abuse. The links:

• Just old people
• Self-Abuse
• Child Molestation affects Siblings, too
• Dear Mommy, Let's stop child abandonment

To return to read the next one, please click on McLeesBogaert in tabs at top of each blog.

Please, if you have something to say about Abuse, any Abuse, speak up, say it.... say it in your blog, post it on someone else's blog, write it somewhere, say it out loud.... One of us will make a difference. It doesn't matter which one of us as long as it is someone.

McLees and Bogaert married 33 years ago. She has decided they will remain married for 90 years, that means 57 more years to go! For a few weeks this year they were both 57 at the same time, so they are shooting to live side-by-side until they are 114. After that, who knows! Of course, there will be a fair amount of tripping over each other and the resulting irritation, but, hey, that's marriage.

This page is the glue that holds us together, figuratively; it takes work, in reality. If you are reading this sentence, don't faint, but Leon is thinking about adding his own blog to this both single and dual effort. I swear, it was his idea, I still can't believe I heard the words. Stay tuned!

Wow, you found us! The top of the side bar has a little info on us, you will find more on the individual blogs, either as an About Us or Welcome Page. I hope to consolidate that here.

This main page is can be displayed with your choice of skins - just by clicking by the skin of your choice on the sidebar. I will add interesting skins as I find them, for now, I currently have the default ones. Although some skins better fit the purpose of this page, I have left them for you to experiment with, just to get to know B2evolution. You will find some skins pull the We Visit page into this "blog" as a sidebar, which for my purposes does not work. If the linkblog is used as normal blogroll with just the title -- and not with comments -- it would work well on a side bar. For now, the OriginabB2, Nifty Corners, or Natural Pink will work well with this page.

So, whether you prefer dark backgrounds or light, there will be a choice for you. For now,with the exception of this page and the We Visit page, all blogs attached use Wordpress.org. So they are WYSIWYG, the templates are not user changeable.

To Navigate Our Blogs

The links to our blogs will normally be across the top of McLeesBogaert, our hub. Some skins you may choose, will place them in list form on the sidebar.

The Primary Focus of Each Blog

Meeaugraphie -- Poetry and Flash Fiction (and Fiction Flashes, vignettes), and Photos

RVPoetry -- About Recreating lives, whether by RVing or just ReVisting or ReValuing your current life, with some photos.

Shh? No! Speak up! -- Rants about actions or groups, or Raves about individual, groups, or organizations. Wordless Wednesday photos are found here.

Tumbled Words -- Personal Blog, including photos, primarily written by McLees, although Bogaert puts his two cents in occasionally. Thursday Thirteen lists and Photo Hunt is found here.

We Visit -- Most blogs have blogrolls in a sidebar. However, I have chosen to also put links to websites and memes we either visit or participate in here. The titles are the actual links. I have commented on each site or meme.
