  1. I was struck by the interview I saw this morning on GMA with her husband. He said he came home, and went into the bedroom where his wife was asleep (passed out?) and asked her what was going on, because lights were on and the door was unlocked. He said she jumped up, startled, like something had happened, all panicky. It wasn't until after that that they discovered Lisa was missing. I think she may be telling the truth when she says she doesn't know what happened to her baby. But that doesn't also mean she's innocent in her disappearance. A mother of a young child is behaving badly if she'
  2. Yellow Submarine--lemon Eat a Peach--peach, obviously If you do come up with a low-fat cupcake, maybe call it hip-hugger? Sock it to me--double chocolate Flip-flop--pineapple upside down cake Boris Karloff--cherry/chocolate cupcake I'm sure I'll think of more... Grateful Bread!! Rolling Scones!! A dozen multi-flavored cupcakes--Rainbow Family...
  3. Different strokes and all that jazz. I'm happy with my decision and my choice.
  4. Exactly. Which is why I am now the happy customer of a smaller credit union and NOT a mega-bank with greater than $10 billion in assets. I consider it "lost revenue" when the bank charges me to use my own money. But I don't get all angry about it--I just make a better choice.
  5. My personal spending priorities are no business of the bank I choose to use unless I am regularly overdrawn or otherwise abuse their services which, by the way, I do not. They can fee me to pieces should I abuse their services, but if I do not, they should likewise not penalize me when I am a good, solid, responsible banking customer without the likes of which they would not exist. If I want to buy a pack of cigs or get a tattoo with the money I EARNED, it's not any of my bank's business and CERTAINLY isn't justification for them to charge me for using their bank to hold my money.
  6. Is on NOW on Fox. On tonight because the whole thing got delayed Wednesday by baseball.
  7. Dan Wheldon's last Tweet: danwheldon Dan Wheldon Green!!!! 4 hours ago Dan Wheldon on Twitter
  8. I voted OTHER: Carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting. Chocolate brownie cupcake with butter-pecan frosting. Double-chocolate cupcake with cappuccino frosting. None of which would taste all that great as sugar-free.
  9. Thanks, TJB. That wasn't available yet when I posted. Wheldon, two-time winner of the Indy 500 including this year, was 33.
  10. Story here. They have ended the race, and the drivers will be doing a 5 lap tribute shortly. So sad.
  11. Same here. I switched from WF to Georgia's Own two weeks ago. I am happy with my choice. Should have done it sooner.
  12. Your anger is palpable, TP, as much as it is misplaced. If I had the answer, would I have asked the question? Bloody civil war IS NOT the road to a solution. I actually feel sad for you that you seem to be such an advocate for it. Luckily, few take you seriously. Though I like you a lot as a person, sorta like that goofy old Uncle with the strange ideas that everyone in the family knows has a bad bark and could potentially have a bad bite if you ever let him get close enough to sink his fangs into your flesh BUT who all know enough to keep him at arm's length. Bless you
  13. As politely as I can, I will say again (as I have said before, not in such a direct way) that it seems to me that TP delights in the idea of a conservative v. liberal civil war. I can't personally even imagine how horrid that would be. We all want change, and we're all looking at the same sources to effect that change. Some of us though (TP) would like to see it be a bloody battle of philosophical/political ideals. I resent the need to see this result in some sort of political civil war. It's bad enough already; people who champion it ought to be the first ones slayed on that
  14. I could not agree more. On everything you wrote.
  15. I haven't changed. But maybe we have found a common language.
  16. The question is...do monied corporations make laws? No...they buy them, but they buy them from politicians, who sell out to the highest bidder. Lay the blame where it belongs. There is a problem. People ought to demand an end to it. And yes, corporations get concessions based on the money they have available to affect policy. But it's still elected officials they are buying, and those officials come from BOTH sides of the aisle. Fannie and Freddie and the whole housing crash come immediately to mind. And who benefited from that alliance?
  17. Ugliness is always unbecoming. Doesn't matter who you are.
  18. Again, there is much we agree on. I identified with the Tea Party movement in its earliest days. Since? I see it too often being associated with folks whose political philosophies have NOTHING to do with my beliefs. It would be grossly unfair to characterize me as a Tea Partier. However, I at the same time and in the same vein feel the same about this whole OWS movement. I think if you or anyone cared enough to look, you could find posts I have made on this board that were sympathetic to what was a somewhat coherent message coming from this political movement early on. But lik
  19. Wow. That was really well-done. Excellent documentary. If you missed it, you can probably get it at abcnews.com Look under 20/20. It really was worth watching.
  20. There is much we could agree on. Funny YOU should make this post though, when YOU have been one of the loudest calling all TEA Party people radical right-wing conservatives. Funny, NO? The dissatisfaction with the status quo and the business as usual approach of legislators and our government in general is what spawned the less liberal group to make their voice heard. That there is a less conservative voice standing up and having their voice be heard should come as no surprise to anyone. Oh, except maybe those who have narrow vision.
  21. What kind of "negotiations" do you think ought to take place? WHO do you think these protesters ought to engage in negotiation? THIS IS NOT LIBYA. And there is little to compare, really. Seriously, WHO do the protesters need to negotiate with? And more importantly, if you COULD identify who they should negotiate with, can you articulate a list of things they would ask for? Because it seems to me that's sorely missing.
  22. Are you watching? Heartbreaking...
