~ hee-hee ~ I'm a woman of many surprises.

I second, or third, going to see the good folks at The Illustrator. Debbie is most excellent, so is Sage... heck, everyone associated with them rocks.

I'm having a glass of wine.... and enjoying rocking out to some ol'favs....

Yepppers.... It's me Lady Tass. I offer up some new music for you to enjoy.... my man Jack's gotta new band... The Dead Weather

HEYYYYYYY LADY TASS!!!!!

Who would have known that blue was his color?

We will be watching. Families of students from my son's karate studio get together for them. Should be a ball! Guy's house has pool, big screen tvs, and even his own ring where the kids can spar and such.

Yes, it's been a really good day.

I saw the same tour. It was amazing!!!

..... and that's one opinion, in a sea of a zillion. I, on the other hand, think/believe our prayers can indeed help the dead on their Journey, from here, to their next stop.

:clapping:

I for one have never said he was deserving of a pass from anything. You obviously have a huge chip on your shoulder about this topic, as it's glaringly obvious. But this part of his life doesn't deter from the fact that he's dead, and I for one am sorry that it was at a young age. I will miss his talent and his music.

Why now debate all of this???? Why??? :::: shaking head ::::: He was investigated, charged, stood trial. A jury of his peers found him not guilty. Any other "pay offs" that may have occurred, IMO, are suspect anyway. The information that I ever saw presented seemed to me that parents of young boys were pimping them out to a man - who wasn't normal in many regards - in hopes of being able to blackmail him for big bucks. It has appeared several of them were quite successful at that. Was Michael Jackson weird? Yep, he sure as heck was, of a higher degree at that. Was he guil

It is considered not only poor taste, but bad luck, in my spiritual beliefs to speak so ill about the dead. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

It just seems..... surreal. I can't wrap my brain around Michael Jackson being dead. It sucks. I really was hoping he'd come back to shine one more time, and be able to retire after that more peacefully. My earliest awareness of music involves the Jackson 5. I can remember being astonished at a young person being so talented, and then seeing films of when he was even younger like me, singing and performing. The to watch his incredible rise to pop stardom, and all the trials and tribulations he's gone through. His physical transformation... the marriages.... the children.... etc.,

You really should keep your animals confined in a space that does not have the borax down, like a garage or somewhere. I share information, and encourage you to do your own research, ask you vet questions, and make the right decision for your family/household. Here's online info to help with your research: http://www.ehow.com/how_4421449_use-borax-kill-fleas.html http://stason.org/TULARC/animals/pet-fleas...x-And-Salt.html http://www.fleawars.com/borax.html http://www.familymatters.tv/level_4/pets/gotfleas.htm

Mule Team Borax lightly sifted on your carpets (if you have carpet). It absolutely will desiccate any eggs or fleas present in the carpet. Leave it for at least 24 hours and vacuum. Be mindful of doing this if you have very small children, or family members with asthma. It is a fine powder and can irritate. But it is a more natural way of killing fleas/eggs, and it does work. Now, as for on the animals, not sure. We're going through the same thing here in S. GA. I've spent too many years working with essential oils to not speak up in this thread since usage of EOs has been mentioned

I can tell you this. NO.

In 2007, we appealed ours and won. 2008 had it at the same. Now that we've sold our house (finally!), it's someone else's worry now.

:lol: :lol: Good one CC!!! Glad you eventually got the "perfect cup!" And yes, I laugh at/with myself every single day.

MsGaStorm - I'm telling you. If you are suspected of having any autoimmune disorder, I cannot highly recommend Dr. Hayes Wilson, rheumatologist, any higher than I already have. He has been the head of the American Arthritis Foundation before, speaks nationally on these various diseases, and is simply an amazing person & doctor. He'll great you with a whistled song, a smile, and some funky bow-tie! :lol: He is great!!! His wife, who he is in practice with, is equally an amazing doctor. Here's their website: http://www.drwilson.org/

Your soap sample should be waiting on you when you return to CA. Glad you had a safe trip! Enjoy your visit!
