Jill, I would feel sorry for you, but I am still to green with envy over the 12' tree. We have a puny 6' tree. Hope your arms and hands get better soon.

Danny, you are a joy in my life and blog. I look forward every day to reading what little tidbit you have left me. I can depend on you and enjoy all that you are. I so feel for you, Danny. Believe it or not, I have been where you are. There is so much I relate to in this article especially, but in others you have written in general. I wish I could comfort and support you more than through this blog, but I will do what I can with the tools and limitatio

Island, your smile is worth a billion "pretty, sexy, nice, cool..." hers. She looks like those "dime a dozen" girls. You are a beautiful, exotic one of a kind! Keep smiling and exuding that beauty!

Good for you Island_gurl! Things have been kinda lousy for you, and I am so proud of you for taking the time out to find light in your life. Sometimes all we have to do is stop focusing on the bad for a few minutes, and we gain a whole new outlook! WTG!

jeblackstar Tex, you're upset about 16.2 million dollars being spent in a program which has already revolutionized the world twice? When the national deficit measures in the hundreds of Billions? That seems a little silly. Hey, she stuck her neck out and clearly stated: <TABLE cel

We pay about $100 to $200 for a toilet. Why should we pay $3000 bucks for government's toilet? Ehrmmmm...they have a bidet?

Reply to Trimming the Fat in Politics JoeUser Forums

agree with what you are saying, iamheather. That's why the cuts have to be in every area of government. Only when everyone sees that the cuts are hitting everyone's pet program will they be willing to accept cuts to their own. That goes for us the American public, too. Maybe Draginol's solution of blanket reductions is best. I j

Reply to Trimming the Fat in Politics JoeUser Forums

Pam, It seems you have understood the whole point of the article. We cannot expect the debt to decrease without sacrifice. It was the Pell Grant article (written by me) that gave me the idea for this article. The cynical side of me knew we would end up arguing over what programs were important and which ones weren't. The optimistic side of me thought I might end up being pleasantly surprised. So far....cynicism is ahead. :/

The angel tree is such a good idea. I just hope they dont misuse the money they receive like so many other so called charity groups do. The cool thing about the angel tree is that you buy things. For example: Little Girl named: X X wears a size 10 shoe, 5 pants, 2 shirt She loves blah b

When you start cutting things like NASA and the Smithsonian, people notice and start asking questions that congressmen don't really want to answer. This can be used as political leverage to make Congress provide a more responsible budget in the first place. The problem, as I have said before, is that th

Great article mignuna. I had no idea about the term spastic. I have never heard it used in any way other than derrogatory. Wish I could have seen that reporter's face. I volunteered for the Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children as a candy striper when I was in High School. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Unfortunately, I think they changed the name to just the Scottish Rite Hospital for Children becaus

Reply to I think I should skip Christmas in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Lifehappens, I am with Tex and Danny, just try. You might find little things here and there that will bring back comforting feelings. If you believe in the religious part of Christmas, use it as a time to glorify Him and in return He will comfort, support, and carry you through these difficult times. Try to make this Christmas a little different in some way, so that it become special in its own right. I may just be full of crap, too.

Thank you so much for your sacrifice, your husband's sacrifice, and your children's sacrifice. I wish I could bundle up all the pain and loneliness, put it in a trunk, chain it and throw it in the ocean. Instead, I offer my prayers, thoughts and heartfelt gratitude.

Hey, Tex, the coolest people redefine cool. Maybe that is what you are doing! Everyone will see what a cool person you are and want to be like you. You will be the new cool! Just act like you don't care...that always works with guys...the less they care...the cooler they are.

Awesome photos, Brad. Thank you so much for sharing your family with us. Nice spiral on that ball. I cannot believe the camera caught that so well. I wish we had snow down here in Texas, but without the chilly temperatures Yes I know that is not possible.

Reply to Trimming the Fat in Politics JoeUser Forums

I would simply institute a cross the board spending reduction on all programs. Right now, most programs grow annually by 3% automatically. I would just require that these same programs only increase at a rate of 2% annually until the debt was under $1 trillion. Excellent, but do you think our politician
