A second post: A lot of us grew up on the poverty line, always scrap by, nearly die, overcome our demons, whatever. The arrogance that surrounds posting and nearly bragging about these things is sick. Just sick. Leaping, did you read the post that prompted that response? You might have a little more

the fathers of our country felt it was important enough I'll stick with those guys.
short for emotional. I guessed that part. Tex....let's face it.....we are soo sooo sooo out of it!
nice video games and a great fold old out couch Zombie had some blankets on the floor of the closet and some nice smelling candles I am jealous, Tex
What the hell is emo? Thank you so much for asking! I have been wondering this for days now, but was too timid to ask....
tell him what you think and feel Absolutely! Did you tell him? Sometimes men are self-centered. Let's face it. Usually, if you bring it to their attention, though, they wise up. I am so sorry dharmagrl. You and your family are in my prayers. *hugs*
Social Reform programs since they neither provide Social or Reform effectively enough to benefit their existence, along with phasing in privatization of Social Security. The biggest cut would be in the salaries and retirement packages of Congress, Supreme Court, and President salaries. Do we really need multi-million dollar Se
Dabe, this is not a Bush bashing thread. Stick to actual programs that need to be cut or abolished, please. I am looking for answers, not problems.
I think Tim Russert is too smart to take the job. I agree with Dr. Guy that taking Blather's position would be career suicide. Tonight, I saw an interview on O'Reilly that brought up a different perspective. The guest was alleging that the nightly news on the three major broadcast stations will remain a fixture for years to come. His reasoning stemmed from the inability of the general public to give news anything more than those 21 minutes. He
Yes, woman...please elaborate. Unfortunately, I think you are making my point for me. It's easy to judge others, but difficult to stick your neck out there with an idea. Exactly, Tex. Thank you. Anyone can complain. Who can help be a problem-solver?
Since I have boys, I love picking out a little girl to buy clothes and toys for . . . it's so fun! Do the boys get as excited about buying for a little girl as you do? I know when I had my daughter, I was dangerous in Target! It is so much fun! <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgCo
he didn't have a pot to piss in when we met. Yours either, dharmagrl? Mine was renting a closet in his friends' apartment. ROFL!

LittleWhip If you have the only product in town, and your pay is guaranteed by the govt...and your customers are forced to consume it because its the only thing the govt will pay for, (out of taxes involuntarily confiscated) what incentive do you have to improve conditions? None, nada, zilch.And frankly, dear Scarlett,
Glad ya liked that response, heather, but uhmm, it was mine....lol. YIKES! So sorry! I have the worst habit of doing that when I am typing a long response. So sorry. I will correct it!~
I just felt like it was sad to see them go. I really won't stop sending money to charities. I have given 5 times this year to the Red Cross. I am just going to miss the conversation that the bell ringers ignited with my children each year about charity. Just because the bell ringers aren't at Target, doesn't mean we won't shop there or even see the bell ringers some other place. My children and I will still have our charity talk and adopt children from
Was I not supposed to send them my bank account number? No, Tex, you were supposed to send it to me so I could take care of all the legalities! Thanks for you kind words. I think I am on the mend.
Smithsonian - Closed to public. Critical staff and caretakers kept but subjected to 10% salary reduction. All other employees layed off. To be reopened when targets are reached. NASA - All future civilian/scientific missions suspended. All future military missions subjected to a need now/need later test before being funded
I love Target. So do I! Better than Wal*Mart, even!
Ouch, so sorry to hear about this! At least you know what caused it and can avoid it in the future. Get well soon!
This is well and good, but it fails to recognize a reality of life for many students. Throughout my high school years, it was necessary for me to work full time, thus severely hindering study time and making it more difficult to achieve the grades necessary for academic scholarships. I am also well aware that my situation was not
Dharma, Go to the doctor! As someone who has clinical depression and anxiety attacks, I totally understand. It is so difficult to take that first step. I don't want to ramble on and preach at you. Just know that I care and understand. Please get help and keep us informed. I am always here for you. If you feel like talking, ranting or crying, I offer my phone number or email. Just post me here, and I will post my phone number. <B
Oh, Tex, can I spam ya with "Nigerian money needs heir in America?" mwahahahahah (salute to chip) Nah, I think I will just call ya and get your address as well as give you mine. Merry Christmas. I cannot wait for my neck to get better. I usually have my tree up by now, too. This sucks!!!
That being said, when someone does use it without meaning to insult, and the offensiveness of the term is pointed out to them, the proper response would be..."Im sorry, i didnt mean it in a disparaging way," followed by a sincere effort not to use the word again. That is exactly right, LW. Some people
LittleWhip: Another reason our colleges do so much better is due to CHOICE and COMPETITION. They are competing for those education dollars because people have a choice as to where they are going to spend them.And thats exactly what school vouchers would do, give people some control over where their child is educated.
