I am getting a string of foreign dictators, the kind who can barely speak English.  On top of that, they are disorganized, mumbly.  It just irks me that I have to lose money listening to their rambling, unintelligible gibberish, long pauses.  They have sick people in their own countries, why aren't they there taking care of them?   I get 2 or 3 of these people and my line count goes right down the tubes.

I don't want to hear from you bleeding hearts - all the mularkey about we are all immigrants, etc.    I don't want to hear about how your favorite dictators are foreigners.  I'm not talking about dictators with accents, I'm talking about doctors who cannot speak decent English and yet are allowed to practice here.

I have a 2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx. My last car is a 93 Buick Century wagon. I sold it to my nephew and he's still driving it. My car before that was a 2004 Chevy Malibu Maxx.

Both Maxxes have 3.5 motors. I'm squeezing out an average of 24 mpg. I do mostly city driving. On a road trip last month the average was 38.6 mpg. The Buick wagon has a 3.3. The car is bigger so the mileage was lower but around 18 mpg.

I have not owned a foreign car since 1996.

face what you're suggesting?  (and I'm not talking about the situation with Mexico, rather ALL foreign countries actually)

ALL your relatives/kin came from some foreign land, that is unless you are a Native American.  Think y'all better think before you type on this subject...and try to remember what all your grandparents or great-grandparents, (or even some parents today) had to go through so that YOU all can live and be free (and some of them did not do it legally)....Think Ellis Island...for one place.... where everyone just GRABBED names.....

those who live in glass houses or lived in glass houses via ancestry should never throw stones.....

I think, JMO, that we should CLOSE THE DOORS TO EVERYBODY.....and then get rid of the wet-foot-dry-foot policy ongoing in Florida too that merely caters to the Cubans......and to nobody else trying to escape their country(ies) for the same exact reasons (sociopolitcoeconomical reasons) as the Cubans.  We should close our borders because of running out of natural resources and we already are having problems taking care of our own.

jes' my nickel's worth....LOL

Hi everyone!  I am looking for a name that begins with K...Do you any of you have the perfect ~K~ name for the perfect baby girl coming to our family?  Thank you all for your suggestions!!!

My husband and I are going to be getting a new puppy within the next couple of months.  I don't know if it is going to be male or a female, but we were just having a discussion about what we should end up calling him/her.  We are looking for somthing origional (no "spot" or "fido" or anything like that lol).  Something funny maybe, but nothing we would be embarassed to call him/her in public.

What are some of your guys' favorite "pets" names?

Thanks!!!

I had a Basset Hound named Mr. Spock.

A white puppy named Flour.

A ferret named Serendipity (which means finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for).

I have a Peakapom named Ping Pong (he is black and white).

I have a black cat with beautiful eyes named Jeepers (like the commercial "Jeepers Creepers, where did you get those peepers").

Another ferret named Slinky (ever see the ripple effect when you rub your hand down their back)?

Well, we named Bumper said name because as a puppy, he was clumsy and bumped into everything.

We loved him so dearly that 20 months later, Maggie came along (her AKC papers read Bumper's Princess Magdeline).  We actually named her after Maggie from The Simpsons, who is such a sweet and innocent child.  Now, Hubby wanted to put "Bumper's Lady Margaret" on her AKC papers but I told him I have an aunt named Margaret that I don't like, so it became Bumper's Princess (that, she is) Magdeline.  Plus, I liked the biblical reference.  

Toby, our rescue, was already named.  I guess his original name was Oliver (how cute!!!!) but his first owners changed it to Toby.  Then, when he was around 3, the mother got pregnant and decided she didn't have enough time for him.  Don't get me started on folks like that.  Dogs are a lifetime commitment (unless there are aggression issues, etc.).

Now, we have so many nicknames for each dog, it's not funny.  If you want to hear them, I'll post them when I have time.  Somehow, Bumper ended up being called Beef but I don't remember why. 

Also, we've tried to breed Bumper and Maggie (our rescue is a neut) with no success.  If they ever do have puppies, I'm going to do a theme.  Right now, I'm thinking of names from the Broadway play Cats.  There are so many cute names in that play!

At the moment we only have dogs, you wouldn't be interested in the coon dogs, dh named them Bob & John..lol..

we have an australian named Rex

dh also named this other dog Zip (because he runs fast)

We have had in the past, horses, other dogs, cats & a rabbit in the house

Rowdy, Dusty (was a dog & a pony), Sadie, Smokey, Bandit, Laddie, Freckles, Gus, Sheba, Spek, Skippy(rabbit), Bo, too many others to think...Fluffy, Josie (cats)

some others I like Amos for a dog, a friend had a blue heeler named amos

but I agree with the other post about seeing the animal FIRST.. then go from there, I have to look at a dog or any other animal before naming them..

Am thinking about getting some new furniture. I noticed American Signature had a really good sale on but have never bought any from there. I kinda got stung buying some, what I thought really inexpensive and nice-looking furniture from Ashley's when I moved into my new home in 2004. Well, excited about the newness, I did not check out each piece as it came in 1 x 1. That was my mistake- could not be returned, shoulda checked the small print. A living room chair has arms, 1 is lower than the other- my Bombay chest in the foyer has 1 leg on the bottom that is slightly turned out more than the other- my bedroom furniture has the paint on top flaking off. Needless to say, I do not care about using Ashley again. Now I know I can buy the really, really costly like Broyhill, Thomasville and the like but I have just spent out almost $10,000 getting my main room tiled and my bathroom fixed in slate so now am trying to see what else I can find. Has anyone used American Signature, if so do you like and I am open to any and all suggestions about others. Thanks.
