Help! I need advice!

Today I saw my dear sweet nefews half sisters, on face book. (My other niece is friends with them and she probally knows nothing either) They look JUST like HIM! Trouble is they may not know about him, and I know my nefew does not know them. That is their only brother, even if it is a half brother. They are my nefews only sisters (half).

Their father choose to never see his only son. The children are all in their early twenty's. My nefew is 24, and they (his half sisters) would be about 22. I sent a "friend" request on facebook. I have said nothing. They do not know me and may not confirm me as a friend. I will tell my nefew when I see him that I saw his half sisters and they look just like him. He most likely will say nothing and not want to talk about it.... I know he will think about it for a while, as I think he was hurt by the father that did not want him. SAD!

Should I tell the half sisters that I am the aunt to their only half brother? They may not know that he even exists.... what should I do?

Absolutely tell everyone involved!!!! I lost my my younger (half) brother for a long time. I knew my little brother when he was under 5, and met him again with my father (the shared parent) again when he was 10 ... My father was twice divorced (he chose his career over marriage, but he also had bad taste in wives) ... I didnt get to know him again until he was 22. I reached out to him when I flew to CA for our father's furneral services. The whole situation was easier for me being the older sibling (I am almost 13 yrs older) ... We are not close as if we had been raised together, but have become friends. These kids have the right to know each other. Give them all the info, and let them work it out.

A DEA Agent stopped at a ranch in Texas and talked to an old rancher. He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher... said, "okay, but don't go into that field over there...", as he pointed out the location. The DEA Agent verbally exploded and said, "look mister, I have the authority of the federal government with me!" Reaching into his rear back pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher. "See this badge?! This badge means I can go wherever I want... On any land! No questions asked, no answers given! Do you understand old man?!"

The rancher kindly nodded, apologized, and went about his chores. Moments later the rancher heard loud screams, he looked up and saw the DEA agent running for his life, being chased by the ranchers big Santa Gertrudis Bull...... With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it was likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified. The old rancher threw down his tools, ran as fast as he could to the fence, and yelled at the top of his lungs......

"YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE!"

.we should all... stand up for our country &
Pray for GOD's intervention...


God has been sand-blasted and chiseled out of our schools, libraries and courthouses in the name of "religious equality", and now we are expected to make "special considerations" in order to appease Islamic radicals?

Are we really this intimidated? Or is it something else?
