Quite honestly i do not know....


but then there is always the fabulous duality of human nature

perhaps you are both?

How would you deal with an alcoholic family member?

Despite years in and out of both in patient and outpatient rehab programs, its as if nothing was resolved at all...

What would you do?

I know a father who had a son
want to tell him all reasons for the things he'd done
he drove a long way just to explain
kissed his boy as he lay sleepin
then he turned and headed home again

I know a woman, became a wife
these are the very words she uses to describe her life
she said a good day ain't got no rain
a bad day is when i lie in bed
and think of things that might have been

I know a man he came from home town
he wore his passion for woman like thorny crown
he said delores I live in fear
My love for you is overpowering Im afraid i might disappear





One of my favorite songs...I know the stanzas are reversed but...

You'll find it, iam4u, its there the heart ache helps to appreciate it more
thanks for reminding me of the song today....

money in and of itself has no value its an idea or confidence that others recognize and accept

should governments really collapse money would have no more power or value than what people give it...

currency is an idea...

but as noted a number of acts keep things "paid" for

hence why i say its merely a big scare and rather close to the deadline to be surfacing...

I want to be an owl!!!


of course thats just right now....


what animal do you want to be..right now?

I would change nothing of the past

and since one cannot change what has not happened...

I hope only that i have the strength to carry though the struggles

and the grace to know when i have been blessed

so one man, not elected by the nation, can determine whether its armed forces receive their pay?

Nothing is favorable about that...and its consequences for this nation could be dire....

unless were truly are a country that has learned to roll over and die....

but last i understood we were a nation of fighters

I don't actually know if its a joke or not...but come april first it should be known...


Its not the first time i've heard wind of this but the article came from military.com


i still say its a big scare..but i does make me pause

Fueled by recent reports that the DoD would not be send ing mil i tary pay­checks if the gov ern ment shuts down, many ser vice mem bers are grow ing fear ful about their finan cial future.

Sev eral news out lets have picked up on a report that troops may miss pay­checks in a gov ern ment shut down. The reports are based on a 13-page DoD doc u ment which is being cir cu lated around the Pen ta gon. The doc u ment lays out a plan for deal ing with the shut down and includes details on how mil i tary pay may be dealt with.

But there are still con flict ing reports. For exam ple a recent Boston Globe arti­cle lists all the areas of gov ern ment which have been exempt in the past. The list includes mil i tary pay.


Here are the facts as we know them:

Mil i tary pay was exempt from the ten shut downs that occurred between 1980 and 1996, and only the 21-day shut down in 1996 lasted more than three days.
Con gress passed another extension, which if agreed to by the Pres i dent will buy another three weeks (April 8) – the fifth con tin u ing res o lu tion for the FY2011 bud get.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz), recently called on Con gress to pass a bill that would fund the mil i tary regard less of whether an agree ment can be reached on the full fed eral bud get.
To be clear, nobody can be cer tain about what will hap pen next, but if the past is any indi ca tion, active duty ser vice mem bers are not likely to miss any pay checks.

As blog ger Kate Hor rell explains in her lat est install ment in the Pay check Chron i cles — ‘Pre pare for the Worst, & Hope for the Best’ — this is a good oppor tu nity to “think long and hard about how large an emer gency fund is nec es sary to fund [your] family’s day-to-day life.”




I think this is just a scare at least for active duty military due to the food and forage act of 1861, however if there is a grain of truth I believe it could have real implications on families and veterans.....

WORST APRIL FOOL"S JOKE EVER!!!

I do love my delusions...although denial sure does seem tempting....


i bet its the pheromones.....

Technically speaking shouldn't they both be biased? I mean you make the distinction that there is liberal and conservative...

so...

you have a pot and a kettle...good news they are both black....

bad news .... the argument about color is still going on....

I noticed you cited left wings who made little mention of the topic(admittedly i haven't heard of it at all) But you also noted more conservative media, and well known to boot, that have made the events public.

The problem may not be the media...it functions not on politics but rather capitalism, in that respect only news that will make money is news....

Perhaps, its that the public doesn't really care.

Yes, I think we should expect more from media but so many people live under the idea that the local news channel really tells the whole story. Nobody tells the whole story..you have to look for it if you want it ...problem is people say they want the whole story but they don't...if they did there would be more of a demand for it

which brings us back to economics..supply and demand, despite recent attempts to turn this into a nation of socialists this country is founded and functions on the ideas of capitalism. The american public puts too much faith in things without substance...and the last thing those in power want is for us to know the whole story

I would say it never would leave you, once you've been apart of it its with you for life for good or bad...Thats one of the things i respect so much about it "never forget, never forgotten" is more than a term..its a truth, and thats the way it should be. IMO

won't work..the train tracks are a whole ten feet away from my door and my windows are usually open i've learned to sleep through it every two hours on the week days...your air horn doesn't scare me...you'll have to try harder

oh anyone seen the movie GOOD LUCK CHUCK, his best friend feels this way about breasts..even found one with three of them...and oh the love that ensued

after having my kids the idea of a third breast just makes me want to go mmooo....


but i think you should be good as far as the radiation goes....besides if it does affect you you could become a superhero!

well....you never know till you ask right?

i love this movie...BLOW....

i swear someday baby some day.....

i'm gonna find it

press the start button on the coffee pot...

make sure the cereal and milk are where the kids can reach em'

and lock the door when you come back to bed...
