Reply to Caution! Do Not Use a BlackBerry! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I read your link. I actually don't see that as so inflamatory against Bush. To me it reads like a TV producer thinking about the show and potential problems. If I were making a show and someone kept giving me poor lines, I'd be choked, too. The email doesn't represent any political leanings in my opinion. I could easily see a Bush supporter saying the same thing. You don't have to be "out to get someone" to think that they speak ineffecti

Reply to Feline HIV (FIV) in Pets & Nature JoeUser Forums

No. . Feral cats here have lots of diseases which are easy to cope with when everyone is healthy. The other issue is how the cat socializes. My husband's cousins took in a stray kitten and she still has a lot of wild in her. The boys are junior high school age and she seems to like them, but she is skittish and doesn't like girls. I think if you're going to take in a c

Feline HIV (FIV) in Pets & Nature JoeUser Forums

A couple of months ago, I was thinking of taking in a stray cat. It was the cutest little thing. Black with warm amber eyes. He was on the street mewing pitifully and even snugged up to my legs. Pretty desperate measures for a little feral cat. I had some onigiri (salmon fish egg inside of rice) that I shared with it not having any other food and thinking some fo

Reply to Two different things: The WBC and Doctor Who. in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Eccleston quit? Why? Hmfph. Re: WBC. Some of the umping was off. Call against Japan in Japan vs. US and call against Mexico in Mexico vs. US. Actually, a lot of good baseball played. But they really need to get a neutral country umpire for these games. Apparantly the ump who made those bad calls was fired from the majors.

Reply to You decide: intolerant town or ignorant drama teacher? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I must have been blogging my response at the same time as you, HIH. After reading your link, I can't say I'm any clearer on the matter. I got the part from the original post about the complaints being about "Grease" and the result being the cancellation of "The Crucible." The kids are right. If you read it in class, why CAN'T you perform it? There must be more going on then meets the eye. Or people are willing to talk abou

Reply to You decide: intolerant town or ignorant drama teacher? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Hmmm.... I agree with the you and the teacher about the better match thing. Interestingly, "The Crucible" has to do a lot of personal freedom and the dangers of accusations in a fearful society. Some irony that this was the play chosen after "Grease" and I wonder if it was chosen before the teacher had heard any complaints or not. I also wonder if the board/community members saw the selection of this play as a message from the teacher. <

Reply to Can't sleep in Blogging JoeUser Forums

thanks for the laugh Tova. Sorry to hear about that nervous tick lol But seriously, but your comment also made me feel a lot better. Dev, thanks for the relaxation advice. Usually I am ok with it. Yoga breathing usually helps but this time the thoughts kept cycling through brain. Urgh. I can't sleep when I have stuff to do early in the morning. I'm always afraid I will oversleep. Having done so in the past (with majorl

Can't sleep in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Can't sleep. Would like to. got about 4 hours and then I just kept thinking about stuff. I'm giving a test tomorrow and I'm worried I made mistakes on it. Normally, no biggie. I deal with problems if they come up. Tonight I'm losing sleep over it. I'm also trying to have another shot at having a kid. Now I'm all freaked about some photo

Reply to Wearing the wrong clothes. in Misc JoeUser Forums

I went to a party last night and had my clothes all laid out (a la Flylady as I discovered from Locamama) but I didn't try the outfit on ahead of time. I have gained about 5 pounds since I last wore the dress (really cool black zip up by Agnis b. with black knee high boots and a black sleeveless turtleneck underneath... one of my favorite outfits) but it had a bit of room at the time. I tried it on. Yikes. I am also bloated right now so I

Reply to Was the port deal blocked because of racism/Islamaphobia? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Okay, I'll admit that I don't know a lot about the political ins and outs of the ports deal or even the ports business and I'm a Canadian living in Japan. But I'll sketch in broad details the rhetorical themes that I observed regarding American National security: defend ourselves, make sacrifices, greater scrutiny, tighter security. So given these broad themes that come across in the 30 second sound bytes of news, or changes in the way things are done business-wise (I'm mainly

Reply to So choked with conflicted feelings don't know where to start in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I emailed my sister and I think that we are working it out. I feel better about telling her how I felt (she says she knew but i know she doesn't get it). I hope I didn't pass stress on to her but I probably did. But she should plan it as it is best for her I think and not be telling me things like, "I put a priority on your special day and was glad to do it." So of course I feel guilty but to the best of my knowledge, she didn't h

Reply to Is it safe to come out and play now? in Blog Communities JoeUser Forums

Ooohhhh and rants. I can never resist a rant article. Maybe because I am a ranter myself or maybe it's the car accident syndrome... just can't look away. Then again, some rants are funny. Tova's rant about the cashier guy asking for her pin-number for her debit card was pretty funny. I got a good chuckle there.

Reply to Is it safe to come out and play now? in Blog Communities JoeUser Forums

I kinda wondered where you where, but I take off for a spell, too. Sometimes I find myself getting upset about something I read and I need to take some time to think about why I am blogging. Nobody has ever really said anything nasty to me, but sometimes I read a post and think, "Wow, someone thinks this?" It's nice to be exposed to ideas that are really different from mine but sometimes I need a break. I like the blogs that

I didn't know you had one, but I think it is a nice idea. I don't know so much about the roast. Sometimes people who can take joke have moments when all they want is warm fuzzies not roasties. Hmm... maybe I'm speaking for myself. But keep it. It's a nice, community minded idea.

not even Pride & Prejudice Pride and Prejudice was quite good. Loved the book and this is the best adaptation I've seen so far. The most believable Mr. Darcy I've seen. It's not really a guy movie, but it was nice and some settings were amazing.
