Did Zebulon Miller really bury 2.3 million in his Lynchburg Virginia tomb?
Is it a fact or an urban legend? There are many folktales and legends in Virginia that are passed off as fact and at times it's difficult to separate truth from fiction. There is one such story that seems to be pretty incredible although it does have some truths that appear to back it up. This tale is about a Lynchburg man by the name of Zebulon Miller and if true he makes Ebeneezer Scrooge look like a saint. Miller was the brother of rich businessman Samuel Miller who is said to have been responsible for Zeb's 3 million dollar fortune. Sam died in 1869, 16 years before Zeb so he had those years to enjoy his siblings riches.

The Young and the Restless fans want Diane long gone
Y&R fans say Diane needs to go right away Fans of The Young and the Restless are puzzled as to why the series brought back Susan Walters as Diane Jenkins. Viewers had been asking for years for Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) to have a life just like Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). Those who watch the CBS soap also wanted to see more action at Jaabot Cosmetics because Newman Media and Newman Enterprises are always front and center. Jack needed a love life but no one desired to see him tangled up with Diane who has been such a liar and deceiver.

Forever in my heart
Not every woman whose husband dies desires to move on. Society implies that you must prove you are getting over your grief by moving on in another relationship but not everyone does. Widows who choose to remain single and celibate should be respected and not be asked over and over if they have found someone new yet. If you date or remarry that is your personal journey so please respect those who feel differently. Our vows were for life and we will love our husbands as long as we live even though they have passed on. It’s interesting that people can talk about missing a parent or sibling 20 years later but after a few months, you are expected to move on from a life partner. Actress Betty White had been a widow 40 years when she died and said no one could replace Allen Ludden. There are others who feel this way and this poem is for you.

Cielo púrpura
Summond by a dream Every night at midnight the purple clouds came out to dance with the bluish sky. The ocean absorbed both colors as the waves crashed against the shore in a cobalt or sapphire hue.
