Sure, it came from the AFA.net website. AFA stepped up

to the plate and called several companies (nicely) on the carpet.  Some companies obliged and some didn't.  Over 700,000 people had signed a boycott of Target stores and within a week, Target changed their stance and the boycott ceased.  These companies need to realize that surveys have proven that about 96% of the American population celebrate CHRISTMAS.

cat, but many he drives me nuts sometimes.  He likes to lay behind my monitor and look at the window (my desk faces a big window).  Problem is when he's ready to get up and leave, he never just jumps off the desk from behind, he likes to walk around the monitor and give me a little good by nudge.  When he was a little kitty about nine months ago, that was fine.  He was so small, he could move around and not touch anything on my desk.  Now that he's gotten big, he just steps right on my C-phone number pad and then right onto my keyboard and then down into the floor.  When I grab him up in effort to keep him from messing up my world, he gets really po'd and gives me the cold shoulder for the rest of the day.

Just now, I had just rolled into a 12 min ESL consultation and he disconnected me and I know my co-workers will think I sent it back cause I didn't want to type it!  It ain't easy being a cat owner!

Just thought I'd share!

Alright here it is =) It's a little hard to understand right at first but don't give up!! =)

I believe it's under Walgreens 101

I'll let you know when it's done.  This CPSIA issue has been holding me back some.

You did nothing wrong - it's that website is what seems offensive - not the fact you supplied the link to Jewish entertainers/performers.  It *looks* innocent enough until one goes and checks out not only the website itself but the ISP/DNS ownership/registration/sponsorship.  And then to list the ADL (antidefamation league) under HATE GROUPS was the absolute straw -

I wrote them a letter all about my opinion of that site too!!! 

Have a GREAT evening!!!

Hello everyone.

I am a mother to a 7-year-old little boy who has autism. I've had so many conversations about autism and being a mother with a son who has autism that i've decided to start a blog. There are so many mothers out there who feel alone (i'm one of them at times) that it'd be nice to read other peoples thoughts and feelings on the topic without it being sugar-coated. Here's the website if you know somebody with autism or just want to read what it's like at times.

I am working on getting it back up and running...tell me what your interested in and I will send you some pics.

Hi. Its www.inthecompanyofdogs.com 

when I was living in North Carolina I met a wonderful older lady at the vet who had her dog in a car seat and gave me the catalog. I Love this catalog. It can be on the expensive side, but the carseat was totally worth it. He loves it. When I get in car he goes in the back and jumps right in it. It took a little time in the beginning, so I gave him treats when he jumped in it.  It has good restraints too.  but there is another website called GWlittle.com that has carseats that are little less expansive than mine and pretty similar.

this is the one I was referrring to.

I had never heard of such a thing. Wow.
