Reply to Seious Question in Politics JoeUser Forums

If I remember correctly one of the news shows spent a 1/2 hour or so just reading the names and caught flak for it. Wasn't that Nightline? From what I read, it didn't appear to me to be an attempt to honor the military (as they would have had you believe), but instead was an effort to undermine the war effo

Keep your 20 inches of rain (Gaston did that to us last year). Watched PrimeTime Live last night and saw about some woman almost drowning in her car last year. Was that near you, doc? <TR

Suddenly HC pops his head in, spoiling my daydream, and as he ponders the place "ahem" has in the English language, I sneak in and lull my self back to doze. HC makes HER way back to the thread and enjoys the band's melodies. After putting msladydeath's hand in a glass of warm water and posting quickly, she

Reply to Prolific articles=less comments in Misc JoeUser Forums

I think you've hit the nail on the head. Short and sweet does it. In my short time here at JU, I've noticed the same thing. My longer articles receive little more than a passing glance. I think Shovel's right... time is a limited commodity. That said, I've read a couple of your longer entries and did enjoy them. I like your writing style. Sorry I haven't commented more often.

Reply to My letter to the editor in Misc JoeUser Forums

My only experience in this was dating someone in the Navy. We lived in VA Beach. He attended school there, and then was stationed out of Norfolk. From what I can tell (and remember), the military was treated very well there. We received military discounts on car purchases, not to mention various other things. Housing was never a problem either. This was about 12 years ago, but I'd wager to say it's probably still the same. Nice letter, Dharma.

Reply to Raising Cain in Writing JoeUser Forums

Well... I could just say it's historical fiction, so I get to make part of it up... but that would be a cop out, and I'm not into those. I do believe, from study, that it was all about Cain's heart. I have a friend who believes that God rejected Cain's offering because it was not a blood sacrifice, but I honestly don't think that's it. The Hebrew word for "offering" th

Raising Cain in Writing JoeUser Forums

Raising Cain Abel drew in a deep breath as the scent of the fatted lamb rose in the air. He reflected on how gracious the Lord had been to his family. After his parents’ disobedience, the Lord could have struck them dead on the spot, but He hadn’t done that. Instead He had brought them here, to this new land, and provided for their needs. Abel had heard s

I could never understand my mother wearing big knickers either....until I had to wear them after surgery. Now I understand....they're big, yes, but they're comfortable and I think that come winter I'm going to like them even more! No more chilly belly! Yep... as I've aged I've also noticed that comfort is co

I'm sure you'll provide a great home for him... and why wouldn't they be impressed? You've already shown that you care for the dog (before you've even laid eyes on him in the flesh), that you want what's best for him AND for your family (anyone who cares enough to think through those things has earned respect from the get go), and that you're a warm, compassionate, intelligent woman (your e-mail to them would have made that clear). I hope you'

My kids all loved the recorder! All three of them have an ear for music. Jessica (16) plays the clarinet, flute, alto sax, tenor sax, and is teaching herself to play guitar. She sings in the select choir at school and is planning to one day be a music teacher. Jasmine (10) is in her second year with clarinet and plays around with the flute some too. Noah (4 -

Again, Pat Robertson is a marginalized crackpot that even members of his own sect of the Christian faith don't take very seriously. If they do, then they don't take their faith very seriously (spoken as an evangelical Christian).

Haven't used the starving kids in Africa one yet... we sponsor a child from Compassion International, so I guess it doesn't need to be said. Yes... we gripe about the lights ALL the time... and the TV... and the computer... and fans running in rooms that no one is in... and standing there with the refrigerator door open while they decide what it is they'd like to take out of it.
