Reply to PETA getting smart.... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Mod...I was watching Penn and Teller's show "bullsh*t" about Peta and other activist groups. It was really rather frightening how fanatical these people are, and how they value animal life over human life. These people want animals to just roam the earth, freely? No pets and such? Hmmmm...lets think about how much sense *THAT* makes.

Reply to Spoiled or "Materially Well Loved"? in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

You are right, it's not the stuff, it's the traditions. Every year our Christmas day brunch grows bigger as the kids grow up. They return with their significant others and I smile, knowing without a doubt they'll carry it on when we are no longer able. And I'll get the last laugh whilst I sleep in as they prepare food at an ungod

Christmas is a good time to get rid of toys that aren't played with anymore and give them to charity--it's a good time to realize that giving is just as fun as receiving. I think I was really material when I was younger. It took me a long time to really, really be grateful for everything I'd received, and to remember to say thank you. Isn't Christmas really for parents? Even *I* love giving my students gifts because they get so ex

Kind of funny they want to ensure that an animal that will drown in a rainstorm needs so much protection. (OH NO! It's Raining! Don't look up Mr. Turkey!) lol...that's funny! Part of me wonders if these schmucks h

I live in Austin, MN, so this topic is near and dear to my heart. First...these animals have a brain the size of a pea. A pea. Any suffering these animals might incur is very, VERY minimal, even if they did miss being electrically stunned AND having their throats slit, which I find VERY, very unlikely. Second...the issue here is feeding people. I'd rather eat a turkey that was electrically "stunned" and then killed versus having on

Johnny's "Ring of Fire" was our wrestling team's theme song--we went to and won state several times while I was in high school. *sighs* Those were the days. Too poor to go to theater...probably have to wait till it's out on DVD. I want to see "Memoirs of a Geisha" too...I've read the book several times.

I want a big freakin engagement ring. lol. HINT HINT, RYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmmmm...If money were no object, I'd build a "complex" for my family on a tropical island somewhere, hire round the clock nursing care for my grandmother, and move us all there in December so we could be together till the last one of us died. Barring the mental instability that would cause me...that's what I'd do. Reali

Reply to A Chance to Admit How Lame I Am in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I used to be a big movie person...just not a whole lot of time, anymore... As a genre, I tend to gravitate towards romantic comedies the most often. I don't think I've met a romantic comedy I don't like. My favorites are probably the Wedding Singer, and Ever After. I'm not much on scary movies. I like I, Robot, that was pretty good. Meet the Parents/Fockers were both excellent. Pretty much anything that has to do with people from Saturda

Reply to I think this says it all in Misc JoeUser Forums

I think its interesting that people think that their life is just so absolutely horrible and that it's everyone else's fault--i.e. this mother. I take Gideon, for example. His life hasn't been a cake walk. But he still takes the time to manage his family. He shows his kids what to DO instead of what NOT to do. He doesn't blame other people for his hardships or whine because he has to work. He makes the best out of what he has. Lo

Reply to The assasin stakes out her victim in Pets & Nature JoeUser Forums

We went to Rochester, MN a few weekends ago to visit some college friends of mine. The power plant in Rochester keeps the river there warm enough not to freeze over all winter. Hence, there's hundreds and HUNDREDS of Canadian geese that set up residence there full time. Not to mention the food. These geese get fed ALL day. They have old newspaper vending machines filled with schucked corn. You fill up your cup and then you go feed the geese. The

Oh...I'm definitely not innocent, here, either. I've been unkind as well, and that's not okay, and I'm sorry for that. I'm not sorry for sticking up for myself though.

lol...I can't believe how childish you are. You're supposed to be so wise and knowledgeable...but this behavior is nuts. Meek and mild does not mean that I should allow myself to be beat up and talked poorly about when there is absolutely no reason to. You see yourself as completely innocent in all this CRAP...and I mean CRAP. And you're not. But yet it's all MY fault. Like I said...I'm not going to apologize. And I don't

I'm a lazy butt, so I don't necessarily reply to everyone's replies. I think you're on the right track. Maybe lumping one or two quotes and replies into a post makes things more readable. I never really thought about that...good points.

Ever hear Rosie talk about being chubby? She says that people always think she looks young for her age. She said she tells them: "That's because I'm chubby and the fat fills in my wrinkles" lol...I've never heard her say that. I think I'm screwed anyway. I need a face transplant! Ugh...winter in MN

My Sister makes a run from Mt. Airy NC to Houston every week. She is glad to get out of there. However if you know what Mt. Airy is, then you know why. She does not like big cities. I'm not a big city person either. I had to DRIVE in Houston, too, so maybe that's why I had a poor reaction to it. I
