E for effort?

you so funny!

i have come to realize i cant force myself to sit through most of what i come across, especially the dancing and talent stuff, i guess im just a little off, cuz most people love it. im just defective, thats all!

oh, i see now, lol! i just read the first one, it was funny, thanks, im gonna have to bookmark that site!

im not sure what that means, so, i kind of am amused, or confused. oh well, its something to think about at least!

of something to do!!!!! i need some entertainment of some kind, TV has nothing to offer and the internet has become equally disappointing, we already walked the dogs down to the duck pond, put up all the laundry, i finished my paint project and im procrastinating about the dishes cuz i hate em! and the hubbin is already in bed. oh, what to do?????

HA! i had a sweet little black lady come into work today and she was something else! had some pep in her step for sure, didnt think anything about much, until i heard her say she was about to turn 90!!!!!

i know! i cant even fall off a couch after a few drinks! but then again, i have very comfy couches.

poor thing! i would have made it half way through a day like that and said to heck with it and gone home to watch tv, i figure that would be safe, as i've never fallen off the couch.

the polk county side is awful, but check the DOT website

just let me know when you need them!

what kind of prizes? i can probably put together a nice gift basket with some smell good jar candles.

its a "most bang for your buck" situation, why would they fight real crime when its easier to look at the garden and write a citation. its lazy and greedy.

i really hope we dont get trick or treaters on both days, i wouldnt be able to afford the candy, i usually have a halloween/ birthday party (for hubby)and make my guests help give out candy, there are so many kids around here that cars literally cannot drive down the street, the police and fire dept. patrol on four wheelers.

it's great that he offers up ideas and many teens do and they like to be involved in things, so long as it wasn't forced when he was no where near ready. i think that i may view this differently simply because i have no kids. if all goes as planned in my life i will never have to have this conversation with a kid or teen of my own. my perspective simply comes from my own experiences, such as losing my dad that young, and earlier when my grandfather died, i was still in elementary school, and i wanted so badly to go to the funeral but flying to NY at that time was just not feasible. i still fee

i can see exactly your point. this is good stuff. my only thought is that if the kid (teen or otherwise), is as caught off gaurd by the sudden loss as the family, isnt ready yet for that step, many times the funerals are within a few days and most people are just wrapping their heads around it all. would you find it appropriate if jr said, dad, i want to write them a letter or visit with them, but im not ready yet, i need a little while to get through this. i know the family is going through a really hard time right now, but i lost my friend, and i need some time to deal with it and come to te

i have to agree with that, the most challenging thing is not understanding a different point of view, its opening yourself up to see it.

im definitely not upset about it, i like this discussion, it's been good to see different points of view and have a better understanding of how other people think, i may not like all the other ideas, but i respect them.

see, i agree about talking to kids about how to deal with a situation, letting them know that there is a proper time and place for everything, it would be proper for example to cry at the funeral or memorial, however, i dont think they should be told that they will have to provide a service or speech to a grieving family. it's not a matter of just someone being prepared to deal with death, its a matter of processing it yourself. my perception of what you are saying is like okay kids aunt suzie died.... everyone remember their lines we practiced? if you force a child to do or say something in t

i can follow you a bit here and there, but not when it comes to the "it's not about you, it's about them" i understand that the family grieves more for the departed than a friend, but telling a kid to suck it up and go cut their grass for them is not healthy. and may even be uncomfortable for the family. i had good friends in high school that if they had died i would have been uncomfortable going to their parent's house with a basket of muffins and my condolences, just because i wasn't close to the parents, i was close to the kid. my dad died when i was 16 and we had a memorial sevice her

the way i see it is it's not being enforced. period. if we started to enforce this to appease the citizens it would cost more than charging for a permit and enforcing the codes, the permits would offset some of the cost. it's being done illegally because its not enforced, that's the broblem, so the solution is to enforce it. offset cost with revenue. if there is nobody to enforce the rule the rule ceases to be valid. hope this makes sense, it's past my bedtime

i have read through all these posts and all these arguments for both sides and honestly, im still on the fence about this one. it is surely common sense that you dont use other peoples property for your personal grieving needs. it doesnt belong to you, that's simple enough. but i also understand that everybody grieves differently, there is no right or wrong way (unless you just lose your mind and abandon all reasoning capabilities). grieving is not a skill that can be taught, you can present ways to deal with it, but you cant teach it. it is an emotion, not a learned behavior. but if a physica

so the military is letting walmart run their frieght (trucks trains, whatever) through the finished tunnels under the agreement that in case of attack walmarts along these routes will cease their retail activity and become military bases? this sounds like a good plan to me. was everyone just upset about the construction? or are there other cons? i live less that 10 minutes from the rockmart walmart and i think i would take the noise as a fair exchange to have a military base that close during an emergency. of course an attack is not a sure thing (thankfully), but the plan still sounds good to

this is what i found.... after reading through stuff about biological attack etc. It is to be noted that this project is under a great deal of scrutiny by those who live near the ongoing construction project. Analysts do not believe the project will be available for public use, and will not be publicly acknowledged Read more: http://oocities.com/walmarttunnels/?201016#ixzz0wnlBZNF3 i know most of the posts in this thread are light hearted and funny, but im really curious, sorry if im pooping the party lol.
