Reply to The Top 10 Coolest Things YOU'VE Done in Blogging Stardock Forums

Let's see Went to the Kentucky Derby but still regret that I didn't have a fabulous hat for the event. Was in a television commercial. Taught myself to face paint. Had my stamp and collage artwork published and even on the cover of a magazine. Played paintball. Moved away from home when I was 18. Drove a $400 car, beige with one blue fender, on a thousand mile trip. Birthed three spawnlings including one humongo ten

Reply to All I want for Christmas is... in Life Journals Stardock Forums

Excellent article. I get so tired of the moping, depressing, the sun is never going to shine again attitudes I have been seeing lately. Thing are tough but my hope is that this is a bump. This is temporary. Things will get better. There are many people who have never had hard times. People have made it through much worse than our current situation. And hey I still want Texeira to come back to the Rangers. [e digicons]:D[/e]

Space Shuttle, Christmas Tree, Computer and work issues in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

My Christmas tree is pathetic. It was just a $25 prelit tree so you can imagine that even when it was new out of the box it wasn't the most wonderful creation. But now the lights in the middle aren't working. There is a huge gap in the middle and the bottom also bare and horrible. I am going to just say to heck with it and decorate it anyway. Hopefully the decorations will distract from the problems. I haven't been on the computer much because my computer

He needs to go to jail. The international community needs to act to remove him from power. I really don't know what it is going to take to change things. How much worse can things get? I'm afraid that we will have to find out.

When you're poor like me your library card is your best friend. [e digicons]^_^[/e] My favorites are mysteries and I also enjoy some mindless fluffy chic lit even though they are, in general, very predictable. The last book I finished was New Moon - number two in the Twilight series. Before that Bubbles Unbound. If you like Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich you will like Bubbles by Sarah Strohmeyer.

Reply to What is on your Menu for Thanksgiving Dinner? in Cooking Stardock Forums

I'm not making the whole meal. I think I am going to bring mashed potatoes - they are yummy with sour cream and cream cheese makes them really rich. I will probably make broccoli salad which is just broccoli, raisins, bacon, sunflower seeds and a mayo/sugar/applecider vinegar dressing. I ususally make a relish tray just so there's something nutritious to munch on while everything is cooking. Maybe a dessert too. I can't decide between Apple Crisp or Oatmeal

I am the same way. When I am stressed, upset etc. my stomache is just one big, tight knot and it is horrible. I try to take a deep breath and let it go. Sometimes it works. Sometimes not. I just have to figure that my stressing doesn't change anything, it just makes me miserable. I hope you get in a great program and I hope you feel better.

Where are the non-skanky Halloween costumes? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Okay, I am all for wearing a sexy little Halloween costume if you have the figure and the chutzpah to wear it. You go girls with your thigh highs, bare bellies, stripper shoes and stamp sized skirts. My question is what are the rest of us supposed to wear? I mean really I didn't see any costumes that weren't over revealing for a woman who is over a size six. I am not huge but I am not going to wear short skirt or have my stomache peeking out. Exactly when di

How can you still be undecided? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I really don't understand how at this point any voter could still be undecided. Who are these people? I mean philosophically shouldn't you already lean towards one candidate or the other. Do these people just want to be interviewed as an "undecided" voter? I can understand leaning one way but maybe having reservations about a candidate. But honestly - undecided? I think anyone that is undecided at this point should just not v

The horror of being a Congolese woman in International JoeUser Forums

Imagine the horror of this woman's life. Her parents had been killed in the war. She was home with her younger brother and two children. She is gang raped while the rapists forced her brother to hold a flashlight and watch them rape her. When her brother refused to rape her too, they stabbed him to death. But the tragedy did not stop on that night. No, she was then dragged to the soldiers camp where she was raped daily for eight months. During this ti
