RE: IF U DONT LIKE THE LOOK OF A PERSONS PROFILE SHUD U REPLY IF THEY SEND U A MSG OR FLOWER

Good Point...

RE: What did you do as a kid that was cruel

I got a BB Gun for Christmas one year and the first thing I did was shoot a bird. I can still remember it like it was yesterday. To this date I have never been able to shoot or harm an animal.

RE: Should we give christmas presents to inmates?

Perhaps not individual gifts but there's much to be said for a special little something such as a choir performance or a play. Just something to let them know they aren't forgotten. If a little kindness helped one person it would be well worth the effort.

It's kinda strange but when I was in DC 6 years ago I volunteered at one of the homeless shelters. Not a prison ofcourse but we served many of the same clientel. There were some pretty rough people coming in and out of there but it was rare when you didn't see the appreciation in their eyes. And it was such an easy and rewarding thing to do.

RE: Since we can now post live links - Fred Thompson on the U.S. economy!

Yeah, I would have for for him too. Great video!!

RE: IF U DONT LIKE THE LOOK OF A PERSONS PROFILE SHUD U REPLY IF THEY SEND U A MSG OR FLOWER

I reply to anyone dumb enough to write me.. Except those obviously fake profiles. They can fake off somewhere else.

RE: How many Christmas lights do you have up?

Yeah, I agree. I thought about getting a new one but this really is enough to bring in the Christmas Spirit. Ho Ho Ho...

RE: Imaginary Lovers

Sure it's scarey but if you think about it, how many people outside of cyberspace do you really know, especially when it comes to dating someone new. It's just a little easier here to fool people because more information is received from nonverbal communication than by written. I guess the closest to reality one can get is via phone or cam but even that doesn't prove much. I think the best part of this is that people are a bit more guarded at the onset.

RE: WHAT TO GIVE BELOVED PERSON FOR CRISTMAS?

It's too bad so few people have that mindset. Merry Christmas....

RE: Imaginary Lovers

It's real enough for some. Many matches made, dates, weddings planned and attended along with children being born. Can't do that over the net (yet)

RE: How many Christmas lights do you have up?

I have a small "Charlie Brown" looking Christmas tree. It's pathetic really but I enjoy it..

RE: You can't handle the truth!!!

Oh my, I know how to respond to that

RE: Ageism!

I'm sorry, is there something wrong with that... Naw, I want them closer to my own age

RE: You can't handle the truth!!!

I really dislike people with a good sense of humor...

RE: You can't handle the truth!!!

You're such a good girl

RE: Would a single world currency work?

No telling but I would be willing to bet the next change we see will be the development of the Amero for all of N. America.

RE: Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face vs Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

Both are great but Roberta Flack's holds special meaning to me.

RE: Would you leave your job

I am just finishing up a three month vacation after my retirement. I've done a little traveling, visited old friends and caught up with family. I knew there would be a break between careers so I prepared for it.

I was really feeling burnt out but now I have my batteries recharged and will be heading back out again. There's something to be said about taking time off to relax and spoil yourself.

RE: Doctors vs Gun owners

I'm totally screwed, I have a physical scheduled for next week and hopefully I will be seeing an eye doctor tomorrow.

RE: HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Merry Christmas to you too. Welcome to the forums...

RE: Michigan Workers, Please!!!!!!

Better late than never. Seriously, we all go or not besed on personal circumstances, beliefs, etc... I didn't graduate until 2000 so I was rather late getting started myself. I actually think I got more out of it than I would have if I had gone right after highschool

Well, I have the final job interview tomorrow morning so I need to get some sleep. Have a great night.

RE: Michigan Workers, Please!!!!!!

Really good point. I started out in a community college as well. Some transferred, some didn't. I don't know if I could have afforded the extra classes if I had not had tuition assistance.

RE: Michigan Workers, Please!!!!!!

Very true and there are so many specialties within that vocation to get into. Good luck...

RE: Funeral

May he rest in peace. It's clear he was loved by many and he reminded many of us of the importance of making sure our friends and loved ones know how we feel. Thanks for keeping us informed Dana...

RE: What would you do if...

It'll never work, they'd track you down.

Seriously, I would wait till you're sure she is or is not pregnant. Hope if this comes out the way you want. Regardless, you

RE: Why is a Christmas tree better than a man?

All true but like a man, it may leave a sticky residue is touched too much in the wrong place..

RE: President Elect Barack Obama and IL Gov. Blagojevich

Hey, as promised I went through the links you provided. Based on those links and other materials I have here, there's no doubt the P. Bush had an election agenda to remove Saddam from power. It's less clear on how he was going to do it. From what I've seen, during his initial meeting with his top advisors he did ask for plans on removing Saddam from power. Also, the initial plans called for supporting opposing forces from groups within Iraq vice invasion. Powell was for stronger sanctions and Bush should have paid more attention to him.

It would have been nice to have seen this thing stop right before the invasion began. I really believe we had Saddam's attention after he realized we were serious.

Anyway, that's what I got from it and again thanks for posting the links

RE: President Elect Barack Obama and IL Gov. Blagojevich

Didn't see this one at first. Thanks for sending it.

RE: President Elect Barack Obama and IL Gov. Blagojevich

Thanks, I will. I'll get back you tomorrow as it's time for me to go to bed. Again, thanks for sending it.
