  1. I'm really not surprised to see how the opinions go on this topic Unfortunately, we as a democratic society have reached a kind of break point. What I'm trying to get to is what kind of people are we when we'd rather see someone's house burn down for lack of $75 than show a weakness like compassion?
  2. Here is a direct link to the quiz U.S. Religious Knowledge Quiz I scored 100, but I will admit I have no clue as to who Jonathan Edwards is
  3. Meh. It'll just reach a point where we won't pay. China needs us as customers as much as we need cheap imports
  4. Pres Monson is not Pres Hinckley is not Pres Benson. Not everyone will respond the same to each prophet, and indeed when you listen to someone from a different religion it sometimes takes a conscious act of will to not raise the defenses and batten down the spiritual hatches
  5. Derek Edwards always leaves me in tears of laughter. One of my fav youtube clips is of Robin Williams and Craig Ferguson. Hysterical!
  6. I married because that's what you do when you want a family with a particular partner. I divorced because I'm a daughter of God raising another daughter of God, and it was my responsibility to show the little one that sometimes you have to leave a bad situation after all you can do. I married because (see first answer)
  7. My nephews and oldest daughter are very competitive and very loud on trips. In order to save my sanity I managed to get them to play the 'who can hold their breath the longest' game. It's free, quiet, and on good days someone will turn purple
  8. I speak Newborn fluently. I am currently learning Old Tween. I hope I understand enough to go on into Teen.
  9. I am soooo doing this when my nephews come to visit this weekend!
  10. This guy got foreclosed on, happens to many people. However, this one has a twist... Foreclosure mistakes: Fort Lauderdale man's home sold in foreclosure mistake - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com Imagine if he did have a mortgage that was up-to-date, how long that would take to fix, if ever
  11. My sister is not very close to 50 and it took her about 7 months to find a job, any job lol. I'm sure older people are affected more but that's foolish for employers. Older workers usually have more experience, loyalty, and they don't use up quite so much in insurance and sick days/time off as those of childbearing years do
  12. People relied too much on banks, and didn't read the fine print. After all, no one is gonna give you a loan you can't afford to pay, right? Weren't the sub-prime mortgages fine for the most part until the huge balloon payments and high interest rates kicked in? In other words, if most people hadn't got the sub-prime loans they would still be making payments and the economy wouldn't have tanked? Alas, for the greed of the money-lenders and the ignorance of many.
  13. Well, you can't get blood from a stone...if it comes down to paying your mortgage or feeding your kids I think you have to do the right thing.
  14. yeah....that's a whole lot of credit cards O.o
  15. in 2067 we'll have april 5th, 2067 , or 4567
  16. Which one is closer to a glass of milk?
  17. My oldest started throwing pillows at me when I got to no. 10, rameumptom. got any more great puns?
  18. *sigh* this is all very depressing.
  19. Sorry i missed the date today. I'm still foggy from lack of sleep the past few weeks. Gwendolyn still thinks day is night and night is day. We still have 2067 though!
  20. First Sequential Day in more than 20 years as time and date read 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 | Mail Online The next time this will happen is in 2067.
  21. Agreed. This thread has turned out far more entertaining than I thought it would
  22. I agree with Rose, it will be taken care of in time. But how annoying if you are descended from someone who died in the Holocaust and can't do the work for them!
  23. I like the moderator comments. These are neat people with opinions I respect. I also like the posts from people like me, who will never be mods It's all good, grab an ice-cold soda and enjoy the summer.
  24. I think 5 pages devoted to John Cusak is waaaaaay too much
  25. You really need to play Final Fantasy 11, or FFXI. We even have whole social/mission/quest groups dedicated to the players who don't want to listen or participate in profanity or other stuff
