Thank you, kind JUers in Blog Communities JoeUser Forums

Thank you so much to the wonderful JUers who helped me. I appreciate the gift which will be put to good use getting my truck repaired so it will pass inspection. Even more than that I appreciate that you truly care about me. I think this is why it makes me so sad when people diss JU or leave for greener pastures. JU is more than a blog site. It is truly a community. I really do care about the people here and when someone leav

Reply to Heroes Season 3 looks promising in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I never watched Dr. Who but it was written about in the book I just read, The Curse of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz. It's a funny book and they love Dr. Who. I will have to check out Torchwood at some point.

Reply to Political Suicide? in Politics Stardock Forums

I am for McCain so I'll let my prejudices be clear. I think this illustrates that he has actually done his job as a Senator when Obama never really did. Obama basically got elected to Senate, didn't show up for votes, didn't distinguish himself at all and then started running for President. I think it's fine for McCain to make this financial crisis his number one priority but I do think he should still participate in the scheduled debate.

I didn't even think about people not seeing season two. I hope I didn't ruin anything for you. I want to watch Season two again. Can you not watch the new shows streaming online? Or is that only in the U.S.? I haven't seen Torchwood. I think it was on one of the pay cable channels. Maybe I'll be able to see it on DVD.

Heroes Season 3 looks promising in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

Heroes is one of my favorite tv shows. I was so excited to see that it was back on tonight. I seem to have lost a bit from last season. At some point, I will either rent season 2 on DVD or see if it is streaming online so I can fill in the blanks. Last season was a bit of a let down. The wonder twins were just annoying. What happened to the brother? The first two shows of the new season were great though. Some new villains are alway

I'm glad you're back to civilized life of running water and lights that turn on when you flip a switch. Hopefully soon eau de pond water will be eradicated from your home. I am in Texas but we were just far enough west to only have it look ugly and rain a little bit. Maybe some wind but not too bad. I have a friend from Orange, Texas who lost her home though. It seems crazy that I missed it in Texas but people in Ohio and are dealing with the storm. You nev

My favorite bad movie is Tremors. Giant killer worms. Starship Troopers is another horrible movie that I still watch anyway. This time giant killer bugs in outerspace.

Reply to How well do you know your neighbor(s)? in Blogging Stardock Forums

I have a few friends in the neighborhood. Mainly the families of my boys friends. I am generally friendly but not really friends. I will smile and wave, say hello but I don't really hang out with anyone. If I were in a real bind, I am sure they would help me out and I would be glad to do the same if they needed help. I do know what you mean about how some people will take advantage of that.

Reply to CPR Class in Health & Medicine Stardock Forums

I have taken the class several times. It is required for home daycare providers. I have never had to use it but I hope that it will come back to me if I'm ever in that situation. Really, I probably am overdue to renew it. I will have to peek at my card. I think the Red Cross one is good for two years and the AHA is good for three. I think it's been longer than that. I think it is always best to be prepared.

The forgotten in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

I was reading the latest time and they had an article about ways to be of service. One of the ideas was to rethink Christmas. There are many programs to ensure that kids have a good Christmas but many times seniors are forgotten. That is such a good description. It is so sad that these people lead a rich, full life and at some point, they are just forgotten. Many are alone and lonely. I think I am going to contact my church and see if we can come up wi

Who's out of touch? in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

Obama is now on the attack. McCain made a comment about how America's mayors are more plugged into their citizens day to day challenges. Here's the actual quote " [L]isten, mayors have the toughest job, I think, in America. It's easy for me to go to Washington and, frankly, be somewhat divorced from the day-to-day challenges people have." This makes perfect sense to me. I am sure that serving in the Senate in Washin

This is ridiculous. Oprah chose not to have her as a guest. There are millions of people Oprah chooses not to have as a guest. She is under no obligation to provide a forum for Pallin or any other office seeker. People need to move on and focus on important things. This isn't it.
