  • Thanks Shadowfax. You're right, regardless of how we feel about the politics of it, these vets and current soldiers are putting their lives on the line in ways I can't even imagine. I've got a friend who is in Afganistan. I never thought anything …

  • MA is very high. Its probably around 350-400K for a one family in the suburbs, one can pay up to a million for a 2-3 bedroom condo in Boston.

  • I am more than willing to give up some of my freedom in the name of security. But I do not want to live in a police state where I have to fear the authorities. I have a friend and former co-worker who escaped from El Salvador and is now teaching i…

  • I no longer like to fly but when I do, I am happy to comply with the searches. That's just the way life is now. I was shocked to see people arguing about having their laptops, phones, etc checked. I would not like someone coming into my house or t…

  • I am torn. On the one hand, I value my privacy and feel that I am a law abiding citizen and should be left alone. On the other hand, what if I innocently did something that could be misinterpreted as a threat? Isn't it my neighbor's duty to have som…

  • I am dreading this convention. Luckily I can walk to work but for those who drive or take the T (public transportation), its going to be a nightmare - highways closed, T stations closed, & parking bans. Companies are being encouraged to allow 50…
  • Uh, ya, we sure do. Oh well, I guess I can rest easy knowing where Don WON'T be at the end of July. Oh, wait, Don. Was it your Forum picture I saw with a circle and a slash through it and the warning "Do not let this bottle tree loving, motorcycle r…
  • Yes, they are that dumb. Which reinforces my original suggestion.
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 05-24-04 AT 02:51PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Can't you just shoot it? OK, I'm beginning to recognize that may seem a bit abrupt, but I am completely serious, I am not a bird lover at all. Being in the city …
  • Is all this a result of the interview an date you had on the same day? Oh, wait, the guy lied about something, right? Well, congratulations on both, I'm not sure if its harder to find a good job or a good man. We'll all be invited to the big da…
  • And comedic it was- I can just imagine your client's horror when he was in the smelly showroom!
  • A friend of mine had gastric bypass and although she has not shared stinky farts, she does share the most disgusting gastric noises I ever did hear. Now, yes, we all burp. But her burps sound like they are coming straight from the depths of hell as …
  • I love dogs and you've shared all the reasons why.
  • I'm with you there Yahoo. I do what I can, give what I can and refuse to be made to feel guilty when I either can not or will not donate to a particular person or cause. The unions in my company have partnerships with domestic violence shelters and …
  • Wouldn't you just love that! Maybe Tiffany & Co. would be interested in marketing such an item x;-)
  • I see. Thank you.
  • what is WWJD?
  • You were more generous that I would have been. I can not walk down the street in downtown Boston without being harassed (yes, harassed) for money, cigarettes (6 bucks a pack - buy your own!), whatever. I make donations of time, money and clothing to…
  • I don't have a mother-in-law but I'm sure sending this to all my friends who do!

  • Since I am a total nitwit when it comes to numbers, the budget gets my vote. For the past week I have been trying to realign the heirarchy so that when the much anticipated absence tracking system goes in, it works! I feel like Sisyphus; rolling t…

  • I went snorkeling in Key West during jellyfish season. 40 bucks for me to spend ten minutes in the water panicking and trying to stay away from jellyfish bigger than me.
  • I stayed at Beaches Resort. I loved it because it is all inclusive, we didn't have to worry about taking money anywhere, all meals and drinks are included. If you don't mind kids, Beaches is great - its a a family resort.
  • Turks and Caicos - by far the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life. Why? Perfect temperatures, no humidity, warm water that is so clear I could see my toes when I was neck deep and all the seafood a girl can eat! All I'd need is an endless…
  • Isn't she from Washington just posing as an Oregonian? Is Oregonain a real word?
  • I DO like it! Although I didn't like that guy, Flatley was his name? Thought him arrogant. Hey, I'm Sicilian, what do I know about Irish dancing? x;-)
  • That's right - let's hear it for Sesame Street! My sister in law told me she taped the 35th anniversary of Sesame Street (which was born in the same year as I), and I can't wait to watch it. Grover is my favorite. I have so many shows I like on PBS …
  • I did catch a few episodes of one, but I'm not sure which. All I remember was the women complaining that they could not wear make up. Duh. Who the heck wants to wear make up when they are chopping wood and tossing the poop pan? I will watch the ne…
  • Thats great, Dan. My grandfather had hearing loss and refused to wear a hearing aid. Some of the things he mis-heard have made family story-telling history.

  • You know, as a former educator, stories like this make me want to slap some teachers. They label a kid a certain way and that sometimes ruins their future. I'm glad your boy is doing so well.
  • No kids myself but I have a sister 15 years my junior and she's been through a few rough patches. She's doing great now, working, wants to go back to school, has a positive outlook on life. When she was a newborn, I'd hold her for hours and let her …
