Terp, I was 'passing' by and decided to check JU. I am so sorry to read about this. My condolences to you and your family. My words cannot express what you feel, just know that you will be in my prayers. Take care.
[quote]So its "save humanity" not "save earth[/quote] In essence, "one hand washes the other", or as the saying goes, "same difference", i.e., because saving the Earth is saving Humanity!
Hmmm, it has always been and will forever be a fav past time of mine!
Everyone do what they can, if they can, when they want to....saving our planet whether or not we are going to be here, 5, 10 or 2000 years from now, (to exaggerate) whether or not it is important to the person doing it, that is what is important.
Thx for the comments! Great for those who participated, and continue to do whatever they can, in their small way to contribute to saving our Earth! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
I'm watching Mel Brooks' movie "High Anxiety". I watched this movie many years ago and it is still very, very funny! Harvey Korman, Cloris Leachman, Dick Van Patten, Madeline Kahn are some of the stars with very funny characters in this movie! If you have ever seen it, remember it is the one about the new Administrator (Brooks' character) Dr. Richard Thorndyke taking over the Institute of the Very, Very Nervous! The hilarity and confuse mess th

Fatalist? NO, worry-wart? yes...only natural really. Glad they made it safely! I do hope Jay will be alright. I'll keep praying for him. I did hear that story about women going into strips club to work now. I think it has to do with the amount of money they earn too...I don't understand either, but wow!

[quote]What if I have to use the restroom at that time? Handle my business in the dark? Sounds interesting, when you say local time does that mean 8:30 regardless where you are? or everyone at 8:30, even if it's 7:30 your time?[/quote] You can use a candle, or er...feel your way around the loo!lol!

[quote]Good luck with your protest, if you feel you’re accomplishing something than what’s the harm.[/quote] With all due respect Nitro, this is the biggest put down in blogland! You came out with both barrels firing at this great blog about peace. Why do you guys do that? Bloggers like you do the same thing no matter what the topic of discussion. Somehow you guys always have to turn it into some sort of pissing contest. I think too many of you are hanging
[quote]We just put in our tax return and found nothing about either of Obama's payouts that help us any at all.[/quote] Not yet. This is definitely one to watch dontcha think?!
This picture was on my Gateway Start Page. My page is set up with things I like, one of them is a "Places to see" link and there is always a beautiful picture of some exotic location! <span style="font-size: small; font-family: comic sans ms
LOL! Like you, I tell my kids the same, the only difference is, I tell mine to be optimistic and always look on the positive side and to always, always look for what the experience has taught them. I can be pessimistic, darkly so. I can be the most horrible of people with my emotions. But I have to look at things out of the box, away from myself, and look ahead at what can be. In doing this, it is what drives my optimism. I believe wholeheartedly that the good Lord gives us
[quote]So far, the change is killing me, glad if it's working for you.[/quote] At this rate, not! Everything and everyone is wounded because of what has happened to bring the change on! However, there is always hope! [e digicons]:sun:[/e] [e digicons]:-"[/e]
Yes, some people made the biggest mistakes of their lives and are now paying for it, and so is everyone else. But they are not the only ones who were greedy, the mortgage companies were, the lenders, the banks, fudging documents and pretending someone making 20k could afford a mortgage for more than 2000 monthly! Come on. They dropped the ball and if they didn't approve all those documents, none of this would be going on. But all that is spilt milk. The things done in the dark com
[quote]As Weird as this may sound, you are one of my favorite bloggers on JU. I like most of your articles.[/quote] Weird! Unexpected and I won't let it go to my head! (of course you could be talking to Tex right?! [e digicons]:blush:[/e]
[quote]They did a program on how the economy is affecting children in our country. Come on FS it's practically child abuse if you take away a kids Play Station and kids without the latest sneakers are "dis-advantaged". There are probably billions of people in the world that wish they could be a poor person in the US. That don't make it right, but it's the truth. BTW I like your optimism, keep it up! You provide the sunshine, I (and a few others) will provide the rain.[/quote] <
[quote]I seriously doubt that all of the millions of people who lost their jobs in the recent year are homeless, out in the streets, with children, no food, no nothing. A few, maybe but lets not get carried away here.[/quote] A larger majority have been displaced. They have been affected, and they are in crisis. I didn't realise myself, how many people are living in their homes and haven't paid their mortgages in months, sometimes, years. These are not poor people eit
Charles, you really should read the links I posted above, in my comments. and you will see what I'm talking about. Not from a materialistic p.o.v, rather, children are worried how worried their parents are, or there are some who are homeless and live in shelters, or those that live in shelters that can't find somewhere definite to stay, even being in a shelter. You need to realise that being poor is not the point, or not having cell phone, or some other stuff like that,
[quote]KG a re you saying all people have left is "change"?[/quote] "Change" we all need! [e digicons]:blush:[/e]
What a fun find! http://www.pointclickhome.com/blogs/deal_day/economy_sucks_coin_purse
I wasn't aware of this at all. I think it is a noble cause. So you were able to stay in bed the entire day, or just for a certain time period?
