Trying to get a handle on whether people have bought into the global warming thing.
Do you believe it whole-heartedly 100% Gore-ly, or do you believe the scientist who have been studying global warming/cooling.
Also, do you believe a lot of it is politically-oriented.

May be a mole's hill to you but
I hate for my daughter, who by the way suffers from a life-threatening disease, to spend Christmas day alone. Except for a half brother, I am the only family she has. I don't know how it is done in your family, but most of mine usually like to spend that day with family. Thanks anyway for the concern you show.
global warming
Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is government propaganda - if it weren't it wouldn't be headed up by politicians and liberal hollywood. Remember - they live in a make believe world. Our world is just as God created it - he knows what is going on - and he is the only one who can do anything about it. I don't waste a lot of time worrying about it - especially since when I die - I'm going to be turned into a diamond by LifeGem - look it up - i'll make 2 nice pieces of jewelry for my children.
Global warming all hype

oh the joys of global warming!!!
Luckily we got to a high of about 38 yesterday in Myrtle Beach SC... but the wind chill was yikes.
I can't imagine living in negative degree weather! back home in reno it was in the high teens but still... brrrrr
I agree with you. One more thing, I would like global warming

global warming...I'm in S. Florida and birds
this is NOT normal......been in Florida 30 years and never heard birds in the middle of the night unless one is in the Everglades....and I'm not located there.
Been going on for almost a year.........it's very bizarre to me.
Agree, also what about global warming and environmental pollution..!
What are they doing about that? Closing down industries? Banning vehicles from the roads? Taking much more dangerous chemicals than cigarettes off the market? I don't think so : )
Used to watch the Naked Mole Rats in several locations, but they

How about Stranger Than Fiction...or
my favorites are How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Dirty Dancing, Ever After, The Wedding Planner, Lucky Seven. I love chick flicks!
Pulp Fiction
I thought it was kind of a strange movie. I'm looking forward to seeing Hairspray, though.
Pulp Fiction soundtrack
I am on my third copy of this CD. I love it.
Pulp Fiction and Napoleon Dynamite nm

House Warming
My husband and I are going to be throwing a housewarming party once we get situated and moved in to our condo in a few weeks.
Is it appropriate to register for gifts and pass out the registry cards to those that ask for them, or should we just not register at all?
I'm not gift grubbing, but a lot of people have asked if we're registering, and what they should get us. I don't want to be rude and put the registry card in the invites, but I don't want to not hand them out and no one knows what to get us, if they do decide to bring a gift.

I use Smoky Mountain Minerals
http://www.smokymountainminerals.com/home,home.html. I really loved the Bare Minerals that my mom had given me, but it was a bit pricey, so I started using Smoky Mountain. I love the makeup. It's not heavy like normal foundation and I really like the halo glow. I have a pretty unevel skin tone myself and it covers that nicely without looking heavy.
Brokeback Mountain was good too. I want to see
I know it's hard for a lot of people to watch a movie about gay cowboys but it is really a love story at it's core, a heartbreaking one!!!
what flavor of herbal tea? Thunder Mountain
Thunder Mountain flavored tea has tons of caffeine so could cause some stomach discomfort. A good herbal tea for stomach upset would be Anise or Anise with Chamomile........
Don't do myself, but look at Fire Mountain Gems on line &

Has anyone ever crossed the mountain going from Staunton, VA . over 250 and into Snowshoe, W. Va.
That would be east to west. Just curious what those roads are like. Thinking of doing that on vacation.
I've had some of my best mountain-bike adventures
It's also a good day to ski (provided there's snow), especially after lunch, when the slopes become almost deserted.
Have you thought about having sort of an 'strays-Thanksgiving'? Where you invite a few friends or acquaintences of yours or your son's? My best Christmas Eve dinner EVER was a 'bah-humbug' dinner a friend put on for all us single 5th wheels with no where to go. That was one EPIC party.
over the hill
You can't take it with you!
We get our used cars from a broker who goes to car auctions. They are lease or rental returns and you can be very picky about what you want with how many miles, etc. Used cars are becoming scarce in this economy though, so I really would not wait. The broker comes to my city to get the cars, but I do have to drive about 150 miles to his dealership to buy the car. A good broker is worth the drive.
Good luck!
I never heard of giving yourself a house warming and expecting gifts! How about a nice open

Faith Hill
I was pleased to see a genuine reaction. When they smile and clap for the other person, we all know it's phony - each of them thinks they will win.
As far as Carrie Underwood winning the award, I agree with Faith - WHAT???? She isn't in the same league with the other nominees and had no business being nominated. Just because someone dreams of some thing doesn't mean they deserve to have it. Being the most popular, which is what American Idol is all about, does not mean you have a shred of talent. The song leaders in my local church have more talent than Carrie Underwood.
Over the Hill Party sm
You can have a big bash with old friends from school, stating no gifts, and just have refreshments and put on a favorite football game.You could have a team theme. There are plenty of "over the hill" items around. A few friends or just the family, you can buy napkins, plates, etc., at a party store. Depends on his personality, Spencer Gifts is great for small stuff, but be careful, some of it is adults only. If money is tight, you could do a "Dollar Store Only" gift party which would apply to him. My husband has a terrific sense of humor, so it was easy. He likes to cook, so I bought him a paper chef's hat at a party store and a big frying pan and some oven mitts. I asked others just to bring funny over-the-hill cards only, no gifts. There are tons of possibilities, it depends on his personality. I happen to have one that loves funny gifts and feels embarrased if anyone gives him money or gifts. If he isn't that type, then something more sedate would be in order. The main thing - have fun! If your transcription money is just rolling in - a big TV to watch the game or his favorite show. (That's a joke.)
Anybody see the Faith Hill freak-out on...
I didn't see the show, but saw the video on, what is it, utube or youtube? Anyhow, I googled it and the video came up...can't tell if it's for real or not! If it is, she's a sore loser! 
I think Faith Hill is over-rated
I never did get the big buzz about her. If she weren't married to Tim no one would have ever heard of her. She's an opportunist and looks like a gawky dodo bird. I'm glad she finally got busted for being the insincere phony she truly is.
Right now the Fugees/Lauren Hill :)
I love her version of Killing me Softly. If you haven't heard it, check it out. :)

Oh I love Lauren Hill!
First tune I heard of her's, Everything is Everything, it brought out the soul sista in me! Her voice is awesome!
Nothing, live at the top of a reallly big hill
and the kids don’t climb this hill. I am glad because then I don’t have to run every 5 minutes or so to the door. Have done my share in the past.
I can just picture that hill in my mind. LOL! I think
I am going to try that this year. Great idea.
Ted Kennedy back on Capitol Hill
returning to work 6 months after his brain cancer diagnosis. He looks and sounds great. Good to see him back. He has his wife and dogs with him too.
You definitely need to do some research on her political views! nm

Although I don't know what's worse, the political banter or having to
;
I don't want to get all political, but Michelle Obama has been sm
quoted as saying, "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country."
This statement made me wince. I can't help but think of all of the GREAT wives of American Presidents who would never say such things about this great country we call home. For the first time in her adult life? What's so bad about this GREAT country that she isn't proud of?
I don't know. Is it just me or do others agree that we should have a First Lady in the White House who will stand behind her country through thick and thin? What's going to happen if in a year or two something else happens and she is no longer proud of this country? What kind of First Lady will she be then?
I think you should be president if you love America, born and raised in America, are Christian, and have solid convictions, and believe in the constitution.
Political correctness taken to the extreme.
The movie "Airplane" is on. Political correctness has gone way too far. The scene is the one where the pilot asked the little boy, Do you like gladiator movies? After that line the rest of the scene has been deleted. I dont need movie censors to restrict a comedy in the name of PC.
Ahh, that's why I don't visit political board.

I disagree with you, but...this IS a political post.
How could it be anything but?
it was about her shoes - not a political topic
I would just ignore it. Started off about fashion. You can't control what people are going to write about a certain topic. Sometimes the two can blend together. Since we're not talking bout the O I would just ignore it and write another post about something else.
No problem cashing out. We're "over the hill"
All we have to do is pay taxes on what we take out. We did find a car we would love to own but it's $6000 for a 2003 with less than 100,000 miles on the engine. We probably can't get a car loan but they want $1600 down which would be no problem right now, but we have no idea when he would be going back to work, if he does, depending on highway construction jobs.
We're kinda in a darn if we don't and darned if we do situation. I don't want to take any money from my IRA but there''s not much left after the fiasco that happened. I lost mucho dollars as did he. We will never be able to retire on what's left now.
We're at the age now where we don't pay penalties on any distribution of our IRA so it wouldn't hurt us that bad. We would also pay the taxes on the 20% distribution necessary.
Has anyone tried hose "we can get you a car for less" deals? I thik they are a rip off, but not quite sure. I didn't really get into those sites.
Please use politics board for political topics. NM
Goldbird
I think she is hoping to help save his political career so (sm)
she tries to appear supportive - for future money for herself probably. To keep him from going completely down the tubes so he can support his children. Won't work in this case I'm sure though. But it also could be that they feel sorry for the guy...I mean not only does he have to deal with his betrayed wife, he has to face the entire country and lose his career. He's probably near suicidal. I would probably have to feel sorry for my husband if he were in those circumstances, just a a basic human compassion.
Does this post not belong on the political board?
NM
TAKE TO POLITICAL BOARD. All you want to do is fuss about Obama
It makes no difference to any fair minded person if he got the dog at the shelter, off the street, had him given to him. It just does not matter in the scheme of life. Go back to the other board. They may appreciate you there. This is the gab board and we are only talking about a little black and white doggie. You are not contributing anything we wish to hear.
Volunteering. Church. Political parties.

Faith Hill's only talent is hitchin' her proverbial wagon
She has no more talent than Carrie does. As a matter of fact, Carrie's better and didn't need to marry a big name to break into show business.
Haley and I think she sang If My Heart Had Wings by Faith Hill. She is okay but -sm-
Sabrina deserved to stay. I don't think Antonella should have made it to the top 24. I think the producers had to know about her background and put her on to give the show more attention (not that it needed any). I agree with the poster from the other day that only two of the winners deserved to win, Carrie and Kelly although I have not purchased anything of Taylors. I have purchased cds by Clay, Kimberly Locke and Josh Gracin and they are all excellent. I even purchased a short cd by Carmen Rasmussen that wasn't too bad. Rubin and Fantasia were not my type of singers. I am sure they have a lot of fans to get where they are but they were not my favorites and I would probably not buy any of their music.
I did the macarena with a stuffed animal sliding down a hill, because I'm NOT crazy!
