Reply to The Trouble with Alarm Clocks in Misc JoeUser Forums

Chiprj: I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has been tricked. Sadly, I still haven't bought an alarm clock...and my new cell phone doesn't have a snooze feature!

Reply to Women Deserve Better Than Abortion in Politics JoeUser Forums

Hey everyone. I appreciate everyones comments. However, I do not want to see a rehash of the earlier debate. This article has a very specific focus. If you'd like to discuss the article, please, by all means--do that! If you want to have the "same old" debate, this isn't the place for it. Sorry to be harsh. When I first posted this, I was new to JU and the article got out of hand and I didn't really have the nerve to mode

chiprj: Thanks for taking the time to read all of those! I saw your "Did you Call Me" blog and just about fell off my chair laughing on several occassions. Let me know if he starts up again, I'm dying to find out where Enrique is and might just need to give him a call. I don't comment often these days, but I enjoy all your blogs! Thanks for keeping me entertained...it makes the work day go by faster.

Fallen Soldiers in the Blogging Sphere in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I haven't blogged recently--though I recite blogs to myself as I am driving home at night. But work has picked up, I'm out almost every night (which needs to stop), and in general I barely fit time in for sleep. Blogging is just not an option at the moment. (In fact, as I write this, I am meant to be summarizing controversial findings in EPA's New Source Review pro

You cannot say this was because he felt he was being given back something that was taken from him by the theif. First of all, Arafat started attacking Israel (using violence) in 1964 (with the establishment of al-Fatah -the Conquest), three years before Israeli 'occupation'.What exaclty was he planning on getting back there?

Thanks Soupy! Praise from you is a rare feat--I'm quite proud of myself now! What the Palestinian people need is a leader who will look out for their interests and seek peace. Madine--I think you missed the point of my article...I suggest you reread for intent rather than politics.

Here is a crash course: Currently, the only viable alternative to fossil fuels is nuclear power. hmm...that's funny since Maine requires the use of at least 30% renewable fuels, the nation is moving toward adopting a renewable fuel standard and quite a bit

This is a repost of an article that I posted on the "Road Map to Peace" blog in July...I just wanted to have a copy on my own blog. ********************************* There are few aspects of my life where I would say I have completely failed.

Average hours women sleep at night: 7 I think of sleep as a national pass time--I like to get around 10 hours a night...but that is because several nights a week I will get only 3-4...I suppose it all evens out in the end... Average bra size: 36 C let's just say I am above average. However, I used to think that I was a 36C when I clearly was not.

1/ Been arrested ? No, but I was threatened with arrest by a redneck cop in South Carolina. I was told I'd "better head for the border" if I didn't want to be residing at the county jail. What did he think North Carolina was a different country? 2/ Punched anyone ? Unfortunately, yes. My older brother taught me to fight first talk later. It was a lesson that took a while to overcome. I was smart enough to never get caught, and no on

Reply to Does a hybrid save you money? in Misc JoeUser Forums

shades, those tax breaks sound great, but a $1500 "deduction" (which is what it currently is) is not $1500 in hand. Even if you were in the 35% tax bracket, that *real* amount back is $525. By 2006 that deduction will be lowered to $500. By that time, the deduction is pretty much pocket change in real money. There r

Reply to I AM FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in Misc JoeUser Forums

Janders: I feel your frustration. It happens to me all the time as well. The point is, I don't pay every month so that someone else can park in my space. I too have them towed. Fortunately for me, I have a deal with my landlord that if some is parked in my space I can park illegally in the back of the building and he won't tow me, so i dont have to wait for the tow truck. I give warnings. A polite note reading "I pay for this spot, you d

Reply to Be wary of "free" health care in Politics JoeUser Forums

The fact is: 90% of the population has health care or could easily afford it. I consider that cutting the mustard. Maybe some don't but perfect is the enemy of good. I guess I am just not sure what you mean by "could easily afford it." The monthly payments, or if they were to truly get ill? Where are
