Step back for a moment. Take in all you can of this case. Breathe deeply the thick and heavy smell of fear and death and anticipation and victory. Listen to the marching of the army ants of life and death. Watch the scurrying about of the messengers and the creeping about of the harbingers. What you are witnessing is the culmination of decades upon decades of pro
You rarely find joy or fulfillment in the big things. It takes the little things that other people often overlook in order to find that little spark that tells you you're fortunate in that moment for being there. I am still awed by the creations and creatures in nature.
It's a living, breathing document. If it can't breathe it may rot. I think the Democrats actually believe it's an abstract painting now, every visit to it now conjures up a new and completely different image. That and it's fun to look at with a nice glass of cabernet.
I'm listening to Van Morrison, "Tupelo Honey", and reading some of the stuff on the site. My wife's been gone for a week now, visiting family. I've been working, that's what I do. Not much for vacation, I tend to get antsy if I'm not working. Every time she leaves it hurts more when she goes. We've been married now for almost seven years, known each other for alm
In less than twenty four hours Terri Schindler (Schiavo) will begin her long, lonely, painful journey from this hell called earth. Much credit must be given to her evil, heartless, selfish and dangerous husband, Michael for this. As early as one o'clock tomorrow afternoon, her husband will allow her feeding tube to be removed, thereby starting the process of starvat
Social Security was NEVER intended as a pension, it was a measly supplement only intended for people who actually lived long enough to collect. Roosevelt hisself (intended, I am from West Virginia) considered the same program President Bush is pushing, allowing citizens to invest a portion in the market. If people are so myopic as to rely on Social Security to sustain their waning days, then I want no part of it. Honestly, who from 24-40 ever consid
I'm sorry. Being Misoneistic, I find having a family and career simultaneously never bode well. Never. When you have a child, that becomes your career. Period. It's not about you. It's about your child(ren). As a lesbian, I find this statement offensive. I don't want a husband, I want a wife. As a man, I really do want a wife. So, I guess I really don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Though, I wish I were a lesbian, I think. Yeah.</f
California, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, New Jersey, Florida, South Carolina. I call West Virginia home just to screw with the rest of the world. I currently reside in Virginia.
The Seven Basic Plots to a Story: 1. Overcoming the Monster 2. Rags to Riches 3. The Quest 4. Voyage and Return 5. Comedy 6. Tragedy 7. Rebirth I like what stutefish said, "Stories are like jokes; the jokes remain the same, the laughter is in the telling." Every book is similar to another in its story, the only difference is in the competence of the writer to keep us going.
Isn't "if you're white you're alright and if your black get back" preferential treatment?
Social Security is going to fail. There is no reason not to think that a government program won't. It's a simple and well proven law of the universe. This will become the S&L scandal of the younger generation, mark my words. And I don't want a damn thing to do with it. Allowed to continue on its current path, the collapse of this entitlement program will have more
I guess even used car salesmen get hero worship. The man was and is about the most spineless and sneaky man I have ever had the displeasure of serving under. We never paid off the debt, he cooked the books, thus giving permission, however unwritten for corporate America to do likewise. He is a complete and utter fraud, likely uncapable of showing true emotion. He's a liar, he's unremorseful, and he and egomaniac. "He" is not the government, "He" d
I personally love to deer hunt with an SKS, the quantity of bullets over the quality of the shot being my prime motive. I love to grill a big thick deer steak and spit out the bullet(s) afterward. Clearly this man was nuts to begin with. Gun control or not, cheeseheads have problems. Come on, have you seen the foam things on their heads during football games? Granted, I've shot at hunters also, but they were bow hunters and they were trespassing.
If we were just indiscriminately killing for the sake of it, don't you think there would be more news about AWOL's or fragging or desertion? These boys, and I use boys only because I was Navy and they are mostly younger than me, believe in what they are doing. If the boys had had the opportunity to go to Rwanda, you better believe they would have gone and kicked much ass. Zod wants to feel sorry for people who want to keep people stupid, enslaved, p
My wife.
It's true. Look at the rate of divorce in the military. I had a Navy mom, while my dad served during 'Nam. It takes a special type of person, a toughness to maintain a household that was whole at one time and keep it on a path resembling normalcy. It takes patience, belief, hope, and a ton of love to keep it rolling. There is no book on how to do this, how to raise children while their father is on the other side of the world. Your mom probably
Guns were designed a couple hundred years ago for one purpose. Not to hang above a mantle to gather dust, but to kill. Whatever it was pointed at it was designed to kill. What it killed was at the discretion of the owner/user. How it was used was finally written as law. Now, I believe, this attempt to sue manufacturers for making a product that lives up to its claims is just another attempt to circumvent the Second Ammendment.
Go for it Dharma, too many toothpicks out there. If you can see your ribs you're too thin. Women should look like women and not 14 year old boys. You said before that you were curvy when you were younger, I read that somewhere. Skinny isn't "en vogue" anymore, I think the heroin chic ran its course. Fit is fine, but 2% body fat is unhealthy. Your body begins to eat itself to survive.
Great job!
You are not here to make other people happy, that's just a consequence of you being here.
I have always love the name Samantha and the girl from my memories who answered to it.
What you're doing now grey is what we as a society used to do, years ago. Charity does begin at home. It begins in towns, villages, parishes. What you give is more than they could get on their own and a sight more than they had. It's not about how much, it never is, it's just about giving. Bare essentials are nothing to cough at, that's all I really ask for. Have your friends pick stuff up at the Goodwill, thriftshops, second hand stores, consign
Tex, you don't owe this country a dime. This country owes a debt to you. A debt of gratitude, appreciation, humility. Don't count your sacrifices as small, for there's only a small percentage who have sacrificed for this country as you have. I know your a military wife. You run a household while your husband is away. You support and encourage your husband while he's a million miles from where he used to be. No, Tex, you don't owe us a thing. We
I never quite understood the problem with breast feeding in public places. I guess the old farts feel it's a taboo thing, a woman giving sustenance to a child in full view of anyone. Maybe they just believe it'll end up as a bunch of women walking around with their tatas out. I just don't know. Granted, there has to be nutcases out there who would get a kick out of gawking at a mother and child, but there are more women out there who would take a s
My wife went CD shopping a few days ago and came back with a handful of new albums, one of which is the new Loretta Lynn album, Van Lear Rose. Now this album has been out for about six months already, but it wasn't until a month or so ago we heard anything about it. We first saw a video on GAC for "Miss being Mrs." Then, about a week ago we heard/saw the video for
