Even having read some on the Civil War [or The War of Northern Aggression, depending on who's telling it ;)] I never thought I'd enjoy visiting Gettysburg - until I read Phil's description. Now it's on my list, too.

Miss Kat: agree with the others that your perspective and experience is greatly valued here. Also that it's safer to sit out the hazardous roads, if possible. I trust my driving skills, but it's the idiots I may not be able to avoid running into [or who will run into me] that scare me much more...

Already switched, thanks. Spent a month juggling money from old to new to ensure that anything deducted from either would be covered before finally sending written notice of intent to close, and got a notice back stating I owe them $76. There was no explanation, and I can't get anyone on the...

Absolute hogwash - where do you come up with such codswallop?!

Wait - why can't I 'like' this? It's funny, and I liked it! I have a 'giant like' thingie in my docs, but that's not the point - why is it missing?

Gee, just a thought, but do you suppose I'm too dumb to have thought of that all by my little self?

I just stumbled onto a terrific site: Occupy the Boardroom. It's entirely composed of letters written by regular people to the 1%, expressing their true feelings. [Without swearing!!!!] Some are hilarious, others thoughtful, or just outraged, but I think it proves that most of the OWS folks...

Hey Humble: one of my uncles married a lovely woman from Norway. I believe she was happy, but once she got the West Virginia accent mixed in with the Norwegian, I couldn't understand half of what she said, lol. She made some excellent tamater sammiches, though! :p Seriously: comparisons between...

I've had several Garmins, [switched because I wanted a different model, not because of any problems] and I recommend them highly. Turtle backs that up, for technical reasons, but I like that they're user friendly and affordable. [And the Australian accented voice just cracks me up, lol, but you...

I love Ikea! [Pretty good food, too] I also love hanging things: on the wall, over the door, wherever there's room. Curtain hooks [upside down] serve well on the back of the seats, without damaging the fabric. I hang things on hanging things, too: my wall mounted acrylic organizer has a...

Most of us are just so used to measuring the week by how many miles we ran, it's a tough habit to break. By that standard, the load I did yesterday was a luzer: 72 dh for 51 loaded - but for the money, I'd run one [or two!] like it every blessed day. And again today: it's less than 300 miles...

We're sending best wishes online, And it's probably just as well - Most of us know that when you're parked, You're nekkid inside that shell! I hope your natal remembrance Was as good as your memory bank For half of what I know About computers, batteries, and embracing the stupid, I have the...

LOS: since you mentioned suicide, you ought to check out what the trend is in the US military these days. Looks like 'killing people and blowing stuff up' isn't quite as much fun as some seem to think. :rolleyes:

Oh no you did NOT just say that! Have some coffee and rethink it, ok? :eek:

No argument there. It's capitalism without restraint that causes the trouble, as human nature causes the greedheads [and they are the kind most likely to be 'successful' at capitalism] to disregard anything & everything else in order to rake in ever greater profits. LOS is mistaken in believing...

He was in such a hurry to criticize Obama that he got it all wrong: the statement he referred to wasn't from the White House, it was from the Embassy, and it was before the attack took place. Then he flipflopped and now says exactly what he first condemned Obama for saying! If there's legitimate...

Of course they can't - only the Christians can do that: get 'adult' places banned, have books removed from school libraries, try to defund NPR.... We have to remember that the movie is an inappropriate exercise of free speech, in that it deliberately insults the beliefs of others, and we do...

1: It's not socialism. 2: The system isn't the problem [mostly], it's the people who abuse it. [Like investing transportation funds in public gardens.] The government has become so large and complex that we don't really know what they're doing anymore, and we don't know how to fix that. 3...

We're all paying, one way or another. Put people out of work, the taxpayers cover their basic needs, because we can't just let them starve, can we? Before you answer, keep in mind that a great many people on welfare are kids.....
