speaking out in defense of the bible being there would feel the same if it was another religious document that was not in line with their beliefs.
Out of curiosity, do they have bibles in public school libraries? I honestly don't know.

Totally agree and I've always wondered...sm
HOW the H**L do they get away with it when they obviously are NOT the majority?!!?? I don't get it. And if they have "rights" to have things their way, what about OUR rights to have it OUR way??? I've just been baffled and dumbfounded about this. Especially the whole Christmas thing. It seems to me, that if 99% of the people WANT Christmas parties or Halloween parties or whatever then they should have them. It would then be the parents right to keep their child home from school on the days of the parties they do not believe in. The same goes with the Pledge of Allegiance. If you don't believe, don't participate. Don't take away everyone else's right to have it! I also don't understand how these people can live with themselves. They have to know they are the minority, yet they took away our rights, not to mention in some cases, many, many, many years worth of history! I'm talking about everything, not just the school parties and such but things like taking God out of the courts, the Pledge of Allegiance from schools, etc.
Can you imagine if we did our presidential elections the same way? The winner being the one with the fewer votes just because some p*ss head was a crybaby and couldn't deal with not having his own way. To me all of it is just a DUH! situation or as Carlos Mencias says it "dee dee dee!" and shame on the courts/government or whoever lets these idiots get away with it!!!! MY rights have been taken away because of a FEW a**holes that apparently weren't getting any satisfaction at home so had to get their jollies off on something else!
Same goes with banning books from libraries, shows from tv, etc. If you don't like it, don't buy it, don't watch it, don't look at it! DUH! I don't like onions but I'm not sueing grocery stores because they sell them and having them banned from the shelves! DUH! DUH! DUH! FREAKIN' DUH!!!!
And WHY the H*ll are WE, the majority, not putting up the same fight the p*sshead, friggin crybabies did to get these things back??? Instead we sit back and p*ss and moan and cry about it. (and go off on boards like I am right now, lol)
Struck a chord, sorry. It's been building for a very long time. 
folks who do not agree are in for rude awakening!
and folks who do not believe we are in deep global environmental trouble in this century are either deluded or just PLAIN selfish and never thinking about others elsewhere and/or here.
and that's my wide-open, not-narrow opinion!
I have wondered about that sm
I won't take a shower if there is lightening. Is that silly?
I have wondered.....
I am assuming that govt is using the same checking account you wrote a check to them from. I wonder what will happen if you've closed down the checking account for some reason. Seems like a lot of red tape for the IRS (is that an oxy-moron?). Then funds are returned to IRS and they have to cut check? Seems like it would be easier for checks to be cut for everyone on same day and mailed out. oh well....just something I thought of as I was reading the posts. With us, our stimulus will cover the checks we just wrote to them for last years taxes and this quarters taxes. Kind of makes you feel like your not getting anything....gee what a deal. HA HA. Okay, its late and I'm a bit loopy.
just wondered
The tampon thing is just gross. I have seen stuff in my magazines using those to make crafts. I'm sorry, but there is no way I would make a craft with something like that. lol
Often wondered that myself.
I always wondered about that...thanks!!!
I've often wondered if the growth hormones added to dairy products could possibly be absorbed into the human system and be contributing not only to the precocious puberty you mention, but also to the obesity epidemic amongst children (of course, I realize the sedentary activities such as gaming also contribute to this problem).
I avoided any dairy products with that growth hormone when my daughter was younger and bought organic instead just in case.
Thanks for the info, DB!!!
I often wondered too.
Years ago my niece got a small bird on her stomach. The tattoo artist (I use that term loosely) asked her if she planned on getting pregnant and, if so, to think about placing the tattoo somewhere else. She went ahead and got it on her stomach. Three children later, it looks like a vulture spread out on multiple branches (those would be the stretch marks).
I have wondered if
I would actually be a bit faster if a little tipsy (as more relaxed), but I'm afraid I would end up too drowsy after a bit.
I wondered the very same thing.

I have often wondered how people sm
find sites like this. A while back there was a young girl that asked for money to help pay her bills due to credit card debt. People actucally sent her money. How are these sites even found? Just curious?
She is quite fashionable. Yes, I wondered where her

I often wondered if a hysto
would help with PMS symptoms. I even thought about exaggerating a few of the physical symptoms, if needed to get one. I do have back pain to the point of seeing a chiropractor. The cramping isn't too bad and I don't have a heavy/long cycle. I just have severe PMS. Thanks for your input.
good for you, wondered how you
were doing. I am so happy for you. The decision you made was a good positive one and that alone would improve your outlook and mood.
OMG!! That's it. I wondered why mind was so.....sm
explosive and obviously ready to fight over just anything. Why I never took this into consideration I will never know, but that is so right on!!
I have wondered if I have fibro too...sm
I have been soo tired too. I know tiredness goes along with fibro so I wondered. I don't know.
I have always kind of wondered if they ...sm
were really his because the children look 100% white to me. I mean, I know, it is possible I guess to have all white features. It is just I haven't seen a mixed child myself who didn't at least have a tanned skin who was of mixed race. I had a sneaking suspicion that he wanted 100% white children seeing as how he obviously wanted to be white himself. I mean, he did something to his skin to lighten it, and it was lighter than some white people's skin. So I can see him not wanting a child with dark or even slightly dark skin as a lot of mixed children have. If he wasn't comfortable himself having dark skin then do you think he wanted them to have dark skin? I don't. I could be wrong, but I have always suspected they weren't really his by blood. Of course, he was still their father whether they were his biologically or not. He is the only dad they knew. So he was the father, yes, but biologically, I don't know.
Hmmm, wondered why they had the cap on that baby
in the Bahamas? Did anyone else notice that? Baby mama drama continues.
Dang, I wondered why it hurt so much
sharper scissors, huh?
I had wondered if it was bec his joints are sore (sm)
That is interesting. He does seem arthritic these days but I thought it was just from him being so old. I had wondered if he was chewing his paw (the top of his paw, not the pad) because his joints hurt. I feel so bad for our poor pets who can't tell us what is wrong. I guess he will have to go to the vet (whether he likes it or not!)LOL
I also wondered why she mentioned biracial
it sounds racist to me to tell you the truth. Instead of saying children, why separate them? Oh by the way, I don't live in Chicago, live in the south, have biracial child, grown now and she told me NEVER had a problem in school, if anything she always told me had the best of both worlds! She has a wide mixture of all races in her friends from Caucasian to Asian. I as well as she take people for how they act, not a certain color.
Have often wondered why they take my picture at such an angle (sm)
to make me look like I have a major second chin. WHen I look in the mirror I think I am holding my head tilted back and it doesn't show to me as much. (The glory of looking through trifocal lenses I suppose.)
If you are happy with yourself and healthy, don't stress about it. I think we spend too much of our time obsessed over our appearance anyway.
P.S. this came from a fat and sassy grandma, so take it for what it is worth.
I wondered about that as she is going to costa rica for
several weeks this summer, plus cheerleading camp, plus "regular" summer camp. We got her an IPOD last year so maybe a gift card in her stocking to download some more music would be okay?
Don't know why folks would even ask
such a thing! If they do, tell them you don't need a gift just for them to come, eat, enjoy the company and check out your new digs. Never heard of such a thing and would not appreciate it if I were a guest. I always take a perishable gift anyway...wine, plant, food. It is not that big of a deal!
I went and took a lot of folks
Ok, there were 3 adults and 4 kids and I paid for everything down to everyones clothing. I got the jumper pack, I believe is what they called it. Got there Saturday, started Sunday at Universal all day and then Monday through the following Friday we went every day to at least 2 parks and 1 day went to a water park. It cost an arm and a leg but the kids were two 8 year olds, two 11 year olds and then the adults who were kids also. What a blast. The entire trip from next state up to there with rental van and everything probably cost over 10,000 for the time. What wonderful memories though.
thanks folks!
will have to check this other one (Kimkins) out too.
i so hope i can get myself reined in before i come up with diabetes or something...
Oh, I wondered when our aetheist friend would arrive.
t
Worried, horrific rib pain (I think) and wondered
if anyone else has ever had this, what did it turn out to be. I was diagnosed with fibro but this is really unbearable. Any thoughts?
I could have written your post. I've wondered too.
 
So glad you asked this, have wondered the same thing. nm
!
U, ttoo, am glad to see you back,. I always wondered
that they sent you home with fever and so much pain.
Never hesitate to go to the ER when you are in severe pain and have fever.
Better safe than sorry.
Especially if one THINKS having a heart attack or stroke.
Because here 'time is of the essence.'

Tell him different strokes for different folks.nm

Old folks get bored. sm
My 86-yo dad is the same way. Sticking his nose into my business. He also constantly rags on me about my son not mowing the grass, etc. I have explained to him that I LIKE to mow the grass and to please drop it and he just keeps on and on. One day he walked in my office and shook his finger at me and said, "You just wait, you just wait, y'all are drinking way too much pop." This because I buy it when it's on sale and it lasts a very long, long time. And, by the way, neither my son nor I are overweight. Older people just can't (anyways he can't) realize I am 53 years old and have lived on my own without his valuable input for a long time. He just doesn't have anything else to do.
The thing that really bugs me is when he comes over and just plops down in here when I am working and I tell him he can't be in here when I'm working and he gives me all kinds of excuses ("I can't see read what you're typing") and I have to just keep the screen minimized until he goes. He just doesn't get it. The other day I told him to go over and check on my cousin's new fence, and that got his train of thought going in a different direction and off he went. He called me one day and told me not to commit to the big diocesan pledge thing that's going on, that I am to tell them I am a single parent just barely scraping by, etc., etc., and I wanted to tell him I am not quite that destitute yet, but I just agreed.
Oh, and I have an extremely screwed-up sister, too, who Dad thinks can do no wrong and her son is the greatest, etc., etc. Oh, the stories I could tell about her! Well, it was me who gave him a place to live after Katrina and it was me who gave him my couch for his new house because he didn't have one (another delusional idea, he thinks he is broke), not her, so I just keep quiet and keep civil and remind myself he's old. When it gets to be too much I tell his sisters, who tell him to back off then he does for a while. All part of life.
Denver folks out there?
I have posted before and do not want to get into WWIII but supposed to go on vacation next week to Salt Lake City, Wyoming and the like, leaving from Denver and wanted to know if anyone can suggest sights, restaurants for my last day of vacation before returning home.
Thanks for the feedback folks....sm
The 15-year-old now doesn't like ya'll but they'll get over it! I only posted it because they thought it wasn't fair to not give them the same amount of money. "Too bad" is what I said - we live on a budget and buy what is necessary not just what is wanted around here because we're paying off some bills.
Oh ya, folks definitely know I'm 'from away'
as soon as I open my pie hole. Some people don't mind that we're 'from away' (their endearing term for us outta stata's), but some folks get down right nasty about it. I suppose it's like anywhere though....I guess folks in Florida don't like the people from New England either because I once saw a bumpah stikah that said, "Keep the south beautiful, put a yankee on a bus" or something like that. It was a long time ago and my memory isn't what it used to be.
Why don’t folks use their brains
Ladies going to psychiatrist. He is on the wanted list now- had them to undress, pulling their blouses, shirts up and you would think some one would have enough sense to say WHAT? This does not come under psychiatry. No, these women get on television and tell about how they pulled them up. I would be ashamed to let people know I was that stoopid.
my folks go every year x55 yr?
to the same place. Pacific Grove/Carmel "by the sea"...It is breathtaking beauty, quaint village, great food, free beaches. Nearby trails in the woods...Clint Eastwood country :) I don't think the beaches could possibly be more beautiful anywhere else.
I needed a box of Kleenex. I wondered what people who watched in
xx
I was not laughing at anyone. I just wondered why people didn't post

to the possible phisher/phishing folks....

Dont hate on me folks but
tomorrow I am going with my daughter to see our latest, the new Panda at the Atlanta Zoo. I am so excited. She was just put on display this past Friday so hopefully I will be able to get a glimpse of her tomorrow. She is a little over 100 days old, just beautiful and gosh looks like you could just give her a big bear (ha) hug but don’t know that would be a good idea, after all she is a wild animal. They just look so adorable and cuddly and next to my cats, she is probably the prettiest thing going. Wish you all could come along.....
Hold on, now - not all old folks have that smell
I have an aunt who is 89 and she always smells so good, likes her really nice perfume and never a stinky. She is in 80 group. I am quickly getting to that ole folks age but I also love smelling nice although I don’t do the perfume as I love those nice shower gels.
If I had been asked at such a delicate (as some folks put it)
age, I think my mother would be quirky, invading my space- after all she has her own to keep up with. The 2 posts above are saying they do jot them down. That to me is creepy. I would think the girls at that age would have been taught to be responsible and LET the parent know if they did NOT have one. That is just too weird for my thinking. My mother nor myself with my daughter (grown now) ever kept a diary of when each others periods were/are.
Cannot believe folks don't read these correctly
I NEVER said anything about how the companies perceive us to be.... where did that come from? Another below posted about the same. I am saying TRANSCRIPTIONISTS here are always complaining because they are not taken as professional, i.e. people calling them expecting them to run errands (being as you are home, others think you don't really have a job), telephone, husbands complaining. I post 1 thing and people talking about something else. It is a constant complaint on this board about TRANSCRIPTIONISTS taken for granted. The companies could care less what you or I either 1 wear.
You are talking about grown-a.. folks
By goodness, you do not even see where you are going wrong, do you? What happens if you die suddenly? Do you think they would starve, I doubt it. They would get off their lazy behinds and make do. Why don’t you just let them move in on you and make it 1 big happy home? I do not just dole out money without a person trying to help themselves. You are making them both invalids but wait, you still have the grandkids to go. Lucky you. Don’t gripe when you are to blame for their not working and trying to live on their own. Look in the mirror.
one my folks probably thought was the worst...
but was young enough i didn't stress over it then -- and laugh about it now....the backdrop is a 'granny' who was an alcoholic, already well along when all the family arrived. We mingled and visited with one another, expecting to eat within a couple hours...and my dad asks his mom, 'hows the turkey coming mom?' and she has this blank look on her face -- like she's trying to remember, and he says, let's go take a look...and she says on the way to the kitchen, 'well dear, i guess i better take it out of the freezer!!' Needless to say, there were some frayed nerves -- so we had "Chicken Delight -- which stays open all night" !!
Maybe folks think you are upset because you keep yelling
Ultimately it is your decision whether or not to give someone the key to your home, or once they have it to let them keep it. You have to do what you are comfortable with. I have keys to my parent's home, my siblings' homes, and my cousin's home. Two of my brothers have keys to my home. We are all comfortable with that arrangement.
As a side note, you posted here about the entire situation knowing that everything in your post would be open to comment. If you did not want folks to comment on aspects your situation, then there really was no need to divulge so many details. You simply could have said, "My son is moving out of my home. I asked for the keys to my house. My mother felt this was objectionable." Then you could have asked for opinions or what other folks do.
Some of the same folks Obama wants to give

I can see why some folks are giving up their pets
I just took Spot and Nerys to the vet for routine senior kitty blood checks. I also got Nerys a refill on her prednisalone. It cost $325.
Those furballs had better appreciate it tonight when I shove pills down their throats.
