To wit:
The proposed regulations establish common standards for States to issue licenses. The Federal Government is not issuing the licenses, is not collecting information about license holders, and is not requiring States to transmit license holder information to the Federal Government that the Government does not already have (such as a Social Security Number).
My state requires a thumbprint for a driver's license. Is that invasion of privacy, too?

What does snopes.com have to do with
You need to read the bill before the senate and quit looking to snopes for your news. The Federal Government isn't issuing the licenses, they are basically railroading the states into making it mandate to have these ID's. If you don't, they you will not be able to fly on a plane, ride a bus, get government loans, identify yourself in another state as "legal", etc. The Feds don't have to issue it, their blackmail the individual states into doing so. If you don't go along with their stripping of your liberties, they'll take away government funding from those states. How many states do you think wants to lose their government funding? And those that do, will be up **** creek without a paddle. How convenient of the Fed Gov to try to look blameless in this matter. You really need to read the bill......it is an open-ended bill......do you know what that means? They can continue to add, add, add, on anything down the road. They want to say it isn't a national ID card, but of course, those who pay attention, know it really is, because without it, you will be denied access to federal buildings and so many other things, because as the government will see it, you DO NOT EXIST because you DO NOT HAVE an ID card. It it weren't federal government involved, then why would a federal building require a national ID card to enter?
Snopes.....
Nice speech, but check out Snopes.com when you see stuff like this for credibility. This does not sound like Bill Gates style of speech and sure enough, he did not write this.
me too, been using snopes for 11 years *LOL*
snopes merely has all the facts

I always check Snopes...
before I pass on any e-mails like that one. Some people have entirely too much time on their hands to think up stuff like that. Drives me crazy. Every now and then I get one that is legit, but the rest of the time, Grrrrr!
Snopes last word

AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF...many of these oft forwarded messages have imbedded spybots and trojans.
Check Snopes next time
This isn't true if your car is older than mid-1990s. The codes are now "rolling random codes" and change each time you use the "clicker."
According to snopes.com, Andy did NOT write this.

Snopes and MTV say Richards story was a joke.
 That was just too nasty to be true...even for that fella!

these don't really bother me
the KY ads drive me insane! I mean, they border on pornographic, especially these *Valentine's night* ones...We know what it's for, we don't need a demo!
It would not bother me at all.
I have no problem with anyone's religion as long as they do not attempt to make others conform to their religious beliefs.
would this bother you?
I googled the phone number for my son's daycare and found a profile of a worker there. In her pictures she is holding a rather large gun and her husband is smoking something that does not appear to be a cigarette. Her personal life should be her own but this bothers me somehow. Look for yourself and then give me your hones opinion:

Would it bother you?
for your child's teacher to call him/her Sweety or Honey?
Does it bother you and, if so, why?
Don't bother getting into this field
your not going to make any money working for a company. The only way to make money is to own a business, and just starting out can be very expensive.
There are many of us trying to get out of this field for various reasons - mainly the BS that companies give us.
Wouldn't bother me at all.
In fact, I know a single guy who will not date women with children. Don't blame him.
They don't seem to bother my plants
at all. They do, however, ravage my birdfeeders this time of year and throughout the winter. I used to wage war against them but I've softened in my old age. Now I figure they need to eat and survive too so I just let them be.
Doesn't bother me
For some women it takes more than soap and water. Not a biggie.
Doesn't bother me at all either
Some people need it. It's really no big deal.
I am so curious to know does it bother you ..sm
like everyday? I mean do you think what your child you put up for adoption is like and does it get to you a lot? I have often wondered what parents must go through who have done that. I know it must be very hard. I can't imagine.
The bussing would bother me too...sm
The school district I live in is so cash-strapped that they make the 9-12 kids ride the city bus. They have 30 day passes with student pricing. The K-8 kids all ride the school busses unless you live within a mile of the school of course. My DH takes our son to school which starts at 9:15 and gets out at 4:00. He is home by 4:30.
The state of Michigan requires 180 days of school. He has the usual summer vacation days, but if they exceed the number of "snow days" then those get tacked on at the end of the year. But usually they get out the first week of June. We have one week for spring break and 2 weeks at Christmas. We also have the usual assortment of in-service meetings etc., but no 2 hour delays and definitely no every Friday in May off.
If I were you, I would start going to your school board meetings and start making your opinionknown. The more noise you make, the better. And you might just find other people in the same boat as you are. In my city, the school board term is 2 years then they have to run again. There have also been successful recall elections too. Also check to see if your school district has a citizen liason office. We do and they do an excellent job when they are needed. Work your way up the pecking order. If you don't get satisfaction at the city level, move up to the state superintendent of schools. There is always somebody higher up in the food chain that can help you. You just have to be persistent.
Good luck.
it wouldn't bother me. nm

wouldn't bother me...maybe he is just suddenly==sm
into aromatherapy. maybe he just discovered that certain scents make him feel good, as we all do. If you are worried, just ASK him. Probably nothing. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill and keep suspicious mind to yourself. If he thinks you suspect something, he may give you something to be suspicious of. good luck to you.
If you don't have a suggestion, don't bother replying.
As parents, we all have rights to name our child whatever we like. If we want to name them all starting with the same letter, that is their prerogative. When someone asks for something in particular, if you don't have any suggestions, don't respond at all. Why does there have to be someone like this for almost every post?
Don't bother with a cleaning service...
Save your money. We had a cleaning service twice a month for a year, and the day they cleaned the house, it looked wonderful, but the day after...yikes! Like it never happened. We have 3 kids and 2 dogs, and it's honestly like shoveling in a snow storm! So my husband and I took the job back and do our own cleaning. We teach the kids to clean their rooms, otherwise it won't get vacuumed. I clean the 3 bathrooms on my day off, which really doesn't take too much time if I spot clean in between. We just keep after the kids to pick up after themselves. I always have a to do list in my head for myself every weekend and feel good when I actually get them done! I know that's strange, but I do:-) Just take one day at a time, think about what you really want taken care of, and it'll get done. Don't sweat it, but I wouldn't throw money at a service to do it. Your husband has to work as a team with you. If he likes organization so much, then he can handle that part of the duties. I never grocery shop or really cook...so my husband took that over from the beginning. We chose the things we like to do and then get them done. Who cares who does them? Good luck!
But....these are good and harmless. Won't bother you a bit! Quite sm
friendly, actually. Heard they wouldn't hurt you - just keep away and let them do their jobs.
I've actually fainted from arachnophobia before, so believe me when I say this.
Don't let it bother yoyu Hayseed
I love reading your posts. They always make me laugh. These people have no sense of humor. They must work to hard and leave no time to joke and keep things light. P.S. By the way, I also have that fascination.
Anybody have stress bother them and then get sick?
Ever since I have been stressed over a certain situation in transcription, and my family's budget I have become extremely tired and it is really hard to get my line count. Every day as the pressure builds regarding this my line count gets lower, no matter how hard I try. Anybody in this situation or ever been, I'd appreciate advice. I am trying stress busters, exercising, reading books, taking time to go outside, but nothing is working.
Every time I sit down to type, I just get more and more worried and I can't produce! It is like my heart is going on strike against the position I have because there are problems with the situation and it makes my money situation even worse. My husband is very understanding but this has got to stop. I want to feel good about my job again and my production. If you say get another job, I understand about that, but what about until the other job starts, what do I do? Arrrggggg. I know life is no picnic but it could at least provide piece of mind so I can do my job! Thanks in advance for any and every suggestion or advice. It will be well appreciated
Worn off letters do not bother me at all, I

If this is so boring - why bother? they need posters over there can't you tell
by this thread?
As I said if you cannot play nice don't bother - sm
to comment.....I know I did a lot of things wrong...don't need salt poured in my wounds.
Sorry to bother you again, what are tthe measurements?...nm

Thanks for the information.
These are the things I was hoping to hear...don't want to do something I will regret later. :)
Thank you for the information.
I will be checking it out. My husband and I have talked to my son. He seems to be listening to what we are telling him, but I will have him read this article as well as others. All we can do at this point is guide him in the right direction and hope he makes the right decisions.
I believe here in New Jersey you have to be 19 to buy tobacco products. I think I have seen the sign, but I am going to double check, not that it makes any difference now because they are selling it to him anyway.
It is a tough age and I know I have other things to worry about as he hits 21, which is the LEGAL drinking age here in NJ, even though he has already been drinking and getting alcohol illegally. That is another problem we have had to deal with right before going away to college.
It has been a rough few months. Thanks again.
I did not know that and I do appreciate the information.
But it still bugs me when people keep their lights up year-round!
Some information - sm
Some HO policies will pay for the damage the leaking roof caused, but not the roof itself. Also, if a plumbing pipe breaks and you have water all over the house, they will pay for the damage the water caused, but not the pipe to be fixed.
You can call your insurance company and ask what is the limit they will pay out before your insurance is raised or they drop you. They will tell you. You can do this with car insurance also. If you get in a small accident, call and ask anonymously what is the $$$ limit before your insurance goes up. For auto - ours if $1800 an incident. So, if I get in 3 accidents and each costs $1200 to fix - my insurance will not go up in either case as it did not pass the $1800 limit.
They will not volunteer this information, you have to ask for it.
Hope this information helps somebody!
Thank you for information
Thank you for your helpful information. This weekend is the time that I plan on changing over. I will do some research at those sites you so kindly passed along.
Thanks for that information
 I have always used Gain and suddenly the towels were smelling tacky. I will definitely try the Arm & Hammer!
TOO MUCH INFORMATION! NM
xx
Thank you so much for the information (sm)
I have new and better insurance starting this month and will check into getting the testing done. I never realized it was so dangerous. No wonder my doctor won't just keep prescribing the Provigil. That stuff is about $180 a month! Thanks again!
They should have at least given you more information . - (sm)
My sister was treated in this way once, and it scared her to the point of tears as she sat on the exam table waiting to hear the worst. Turns out, sometimes one type of film doesn't get the right view of what they want to see, and they'll try an ultrasound or an MRI.
As it turns out, there was no problem at all, but the WAY THEY HAD ACTED in that office had scared her half to death.
And if you need a biopsy, all is not lost. I've had a couple friends get biopsies or just get the lump taken out, and it was benign.
I had a "suspicious" pea-sized lump arise in my mid to late 30's, and it stuck around for years. They mammo'ed it sometimes every 6 months, sometimes once a year sometimes less. The other breast has always been normal. Most of the time I had other stuff to do and not the time to think about it much.
Amazingly, the last mammo (whenever that was... I don't keep very good track!) showed that the lump was gone. Even the speck of calcification in it which had made them all suspicious of it was gone.
I typed xray and mammograms for many years, and one thing I learned is that everyone is different, every lump and xray finding is a little different, and the various imaging types yield different results. Very, very few of the people who did have tumors had breast pain associated with it. That's pretty rare. So until they tell you otherwise, I would be optimistic.
Even it the news should not be so good, I can say that my cousin had DCIS and did the mastectomy and chemo, and she's been FINE for 10+ years. (Her hair grew in GORGEOUS, too! Thicker, and curly/wavy!) So even then, there was an upside to the whole thing.
Good luck, and don't worry needlessly... wait until you actually know there is something to be concerned about, and get out there and enjoy the holidays! :)
For your information
I have just found about the gay stuff TWO days ago!!! I was referencing asking for sex BEFORE i found out.
What information??
x
where do you get your information from?
genuinely hurt you thought their secrets were fraudulent.
polygamy doesn't bother me but the compound does
I understand that people of like minds may want to live in a close community, but when it becomes isolative I think it's dangerous. I don't have a problem with free choice. Of course the under age marriages are deplorable. I feel sorry for the women being separated from their children and even more so for the children being taken away from their parents into a different world.
The women on Larry King bothered me though, they all talked in a very monotone way, they looked gaunt, kind of robotic. Maybe it's the immediate situation they are facing and being on TV. I guess I would have liked to see a bit of anger there, some emotion, too submissive, probably the way they are with their husbands. You get the feeling they are pretty bottled up.
Check-writing doesn't bother me
so much as the little old ladies with their frail eyesight and arthritic hands, bless their hearts, digging in their coin purses for the exact change. It's too bad I'm in such a hurry I can't just admire their independence.
You'd be smart not to bother getting newborn size.
The baby would be out of them in about 2 weeks from what I remember, so much better to get the next size up.
I wouldn't bother with another divorce if things go bad
Sounds like you're just going to marry him again, so deal with it!  I can relate to those love-hate relationships. In my case, it was a battle of wills, we both wanted to be in charge. Loved each other up until the day he died, but we both were pretty bull-headed.

I wouldn't even bother with a playlist for holiday music
Your iPod can sort your music by song title, album, artist, and genre, etc. Just click into "genre" and choose to play only "holiday" next year. That's how all of your Christmas music will be sorted.
If genres aren't listed in your music menu, you can go to the first menu, then settings, and then make sure that genre is selected. You can even select shuffle and then play just one genre, and all of your holiday music will be shuffled.
I like the genre settings. If I'm in the mood for jazz, I select just that genre, or I can select rock, country, or whatever. It's a nice feature.
