  1. Well, I agree that repression of baby democracy is terrible and Iran seems to be going the way of China in 1988 and wish we could do more.....I just wish the leader of the revolt was a bit more palatable >< We saw what happens when the people of a country do not fight for their freedoms, instead someone else fights for them, and if Pres. Obama says anything stronger than what he's been saying the protesters will automatically be called 'pro-American insurgents' which sadly will make them lose whatever credibility they would have gained with the pro-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad crowd. I think he would have won anyways, but the vote will be forever tainted because he and those who supported him feared he wouldn't (!!!!!). That gives me certain amount of hope for the younger generation until I realize those who are actually physically beating on the protesters are also from the younger generation. What a mess. This is the last I heard Iranian police use force to break up protest - Yahoo! News
  2. Welcome to the site! I hope you stay for a long while. I agree with Miss, you should check out RS again and really look at the women. I discovered as I grew older the number of stereotypical RS members went down farther and farther until I found myself sitting in a room with sisters who have their own troubles, joys, trials, and wonders-just like me
  3. It was fun! Buffalo (plural)!!! Coyote (singular)!!!! Geysers and geezers and lots of license plates from Florida to Alaska (but none from the Northeast, weird)!!!!! Omgosh it was so amazingly green We're going back on July 18-19 with more batteries for the camera. And the $25 I saved went for 6 ice cream cones and one stuffed wolf-cub.
  4. My daughter has discovered anime and Anime - Encyclopedia - Anime News Network has been a lifesaver. It not only describes content but also age rates them. Even so, there have been a few that have slipped through the reviews. I am constantly telling my daughter about turning off the show when she runs across stuff that's not appropriate and every 10 minutes or so I ask her what's going on and if it's a good show. I figure if I get her in the habit when she's 9 when she's older turning off such stuff will be an automatic reflex.
  5. I know!! An automatic 4-wheel drive?????? A sure sign of either the coming apocalypse or a bunch of trucks that will never ever feel the earth under their tires
  6. Which goes to show just how powerful the music industry is compared to the political world
  7. And nobody died
  8. But that's why he's floating this idea, it helps the auto manufacturures, the auto workers, those who ordinarily couldn't afford a new vehicle, and the enviroment, all in one simple program. I almost wish my car didn't get 35 miles to the gallon
  9. Sounds like it's time for a musical tea party
  10. Good choice. You never have to settle. Sometimes even being alone is better than being with frenemies.
  11. I think my brain just exploded
  12. lol Moksha, I think what the judge did was completely reprehensible. It was like either he wanted to punish her for all sins of all pirates or he wanted an insane amount that would influence the next judge to overturn the judgement. And Limewire is another program that is never allowed on my computer.
  13. My fellow Americans and I did stand up for freedom and democracy and the American Way. Back in November when we voted Pres. Obama in.
  14. I think this couple has issues that go far beyond getting sealed and would probably benefit from serious prayer/reflection/and counseling.
  15. Indeed, that's the one I'm watching for
  16. Truly, those of us in the Mountain West are blessed indeed
  17. I agree, I think Sunday afternoon naps are the 2nd best part about Sundays
  18. Then they want us to compost our parents to help atone for what humanity has done to Mother Earth.
  19. Someone does because the Shriner's Circus last night in Twin was suppose to have elephants but PETA did their little letter writing thing and the show decided to not include pachyderms this time around
  20. Dairy Queen fry sauce is awesome. I guess you mix ketchup and mayo (or salad dressing) together, add a bit of mustard or pixie dust and *poof* the equal partner to the glorious french fry. I guess it's a regional thing cause my fiance says the Dairy Queen in Philly doesn't have it
  21. I've seen you on at 3 am before, Pam I try to get back into the graveyard thing the night before going back to work so I'll be tired enough to take a nap in the middle of the day. That seems to work best. I need a real job.
  22. That's what I was thinking, too. But then again I like Pres Obama
  23. $76 is a bit out of my price range this year, but ty Maya, I found next year's swimsuit
  24. That was adorable! Your granddaughter sounds like she gets a lot of hugs
