And would you also be happy to sit here holding your tongue while she flings
insults at her "former friends", then throws a great big ol' hissy fit,
calling names and absolutely vilifying you, accusing you of not anything
that YOU did, but accusing YOU of doing everything that SHE did?

Sorry, I'm not known for holding my tongue, I just call a spade a spade.
I'm not responsible for her mental health. She is a grown up 50-something
age woman who is not new to her condition. She KNOWS what she should be
doing, and not.

We didn't strike first, we didn't strike back, we just finally opened up
after being slapped repeatedly, then hit with a brick. If you don't like it
or don't agree, that's your problem.

Yes, I'm not surprised that any of this goes right over your head. But
since you love, and cannot resist, having the last word, to the point of
being known as "last word Susan", this one's for you baby:

LAST WORD

Happy now?

Well, all of my grandbabies are in Georgia, so that's the plan for us! We
would have to move anyway, all of these stairs are just too much for me. So
I'm hanging in there until we can go home. Next house... all one level!

This isn't a new favorite, it's pretty old (does
Volkswagen even make the Carbriolet anymore?)
Came out in the days before YouTube and I had to
do some investigating to find out that it was Pink
Moon by Nick Drake.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIOW9fLT9eY

And that of course leads to another Nick Drake
song in an ad:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QddkHo1X5qY

Old songs. He died in 1974 I believe. They never
new for sure whether it was an accidental drug
overdose (presecription anti-depressants or
something) or a suicide. Tragically sad either way.

fever and abdominal pain. If left untreated, pets may be lethargic

but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or
humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these
symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

You might be right. In order to push America towards equality oerhaps
it needed Prop 8. The arguments for its overturn are stronger that some
religious opinions. America is not a theocracy yet.

In your opinion, bigot boy. However, if you need to change the
constitution, which right wingers think might be a good document if
changed to suit their lifestyle, you go and change it. I'm satisfied
with it. You got a problem with it, move to another state like Wyoming
or Utah where you can get the support you need.

If it was on the balot that interracial marriages would be illegal you'd
be in the forefront voting approval.

If it was on the balot that a black man and black woman's marriage would
not be recognized (like it was done way back when) you'd be in the
forefront voting approval.

If your sexual gender attraction is in doubt and that causes you angst
then see a therapist.

If you are against equality you and millions of others can express that
sentiment. It doesn't make it law. This is America, anti-American
bigot boy.

I swear you wrote; ".. young and interesting beyond my Ears." LOL.
Man, I need to have my eyes fixed.

btw - you guys checking out the new animated/CG "Star Wars:The Clone
Wars" movie? I'm iffy myself - I mean, I like that 'animated' look
they have going, and I'm really interested to see how that HD-CGI
looks, but hell if I'm not thrilled about shelling out even MORE cash-
ola to George Fucking Lucas. Talk about your perfect example of right-
place, right-time.

Not to mention feeling hi-jacked every time I go to the concession
stand! We saw the new 'Mummy' flick this weekend - a lot better than
I'd heard IMO - a couple of large popcorns, large drinks, box of
Junior Mints, and a bag of Reese's Pieces = $32.00'ish! Granted you
get free refills on the drinks, but then you're missing the movie for
more liquids which only add to the time missed on a bathroom break.

Oh, and another thing - the SOUND!! Does an audience REALLY need to
feel crumbling buildings, car chases, and gun shot vibration in their
lungs? I don't think so..

Again, maroon.......Thanatos specifically mentioned certain things
(which I will not go into), that made it very clear to someone like
myself, who is he and exactly what he does. Some of the things he
mentioned are very specifically known only to people who are,
intimately, involved with or have a significantly far deeper
understanding of them, than the general public ever would. The same
applies for some of the specific speech patterns.

The concept of someone acting heroically is one that you, obviously,
cannot begin to understand. John McCain acted heroically on numerous
occasions. Guys like Thenatos do the same, in a different way, every
day.

OTOH, whiners like yourself....well.....

Ditto in the Houston area - many stand-alone and drive-thru Starbucks,
in addition to plenty more 'within' existing groceries or other
stores; and Subways, but I've yet to see a Subway with a drive-thru as
well.

I wonder how/if this affects those food 'joints' on-wheels (aka:roach
coaches) that drive around selling all sorts of greasy unhealthy yet
delish; tacos, burritos, chimichangas, flautas, tostadas, etc.?

If I were you, I'd think over what he tells you, and especially if he tells
you how he puts himself "in harm's way." At one time, he was saying he was
a policeman, arresting people and interrogating them. Not long ago he said
he's required to go into burning buildings to save lives, an outlandish
claim, even if he had been then fireman I assumed him to be. People like
him try their damnedest to impress the rest of us with nonsense like that,
when in fact they're the least impressive of all. I think you better
re-evaluate this guy, and fast, or YOU, sir, will stand as an ass-scratching
baboon. No doubt, he loves the idea that lickspittle like you are declaring
him as a selfless hero while giving him the spit-shine of all spit-shines.
He's not the selfless hero. He's a well-paid civil servant, doing it
because it pays well and provides a very fine benefit package, all at the
taxpayer's largesse. He's a liar if he claims anything else, and you're a
moron if you believe him.

Why are right wingers so pretentious and stupid?

What people like that need is therapy. Those types are in every newsgroup.
They'll insert their political babbel everywhere. It's a disease that
requires they have a target upon which to vent their irrational rage and a
false sense of superiority. If you doubt what I say, stand back and really
evaluate it. Look for a RATIONALE behind their anger. Honestly, do this.
If what they're saying is irrational, then why keep doing it unless
something deeper is going on?

Actually, what I do is bash the bashers. If you look at everything I've
ever said, that's all I've ever done. EVER. And I'll say it again: these
people like Rudd, Thanatos, and Top Cat suffer from some sort of mental
illness that compels them to bitch about liberals. They're actually bereft
of any ideas beyond anti-liberalism. I drop by just to take a few stabs.
You've never seen me write anything about a political candidate.

Follow the link in my signature about the Right-wing Loon, and you'll
understand why. I'm a liberal; no doubt about it. But as partisan as I am
in my thinking, I never say anything about CONSERVATIVES or conservative
candidates. It's always the frothing nincompoops that I attack. ALWAYS.

You're right, McLame won't have the balls, BUT, maybe a side group will. Mr
Rudd, how can we get a spot like that on the air? "Paid for by concerned

Yes, liberals always come up with what they consider "great" ideas, then
they all jump on the bandwagon. Unfortunately, the bandwagon's wheels often
fall off...like this example of them "saving the planet"...

Oh for God's sake, why would either of the Clintons want to be
involved in something like this? Bill is busy traveling in Africa
right now so he seems to be over the fact that Hillary didn't win, and
she's asked that her name not be placed in nomination at the
convention so she's obviously over losing the nomination. As a matter
of fact, Hillary doesn't even seem to be on the short list as Obama's
running mate and yet she still seems to be committed to campaigning
for him now that Congress is in recess.

I was going to say something like that the other day, but refrained.

The leftoids probably just think this makes Obama better.
