    True Blood Season Premiere

    Is "Trueblood" television's answer to the teen vampire book series called "Twilight"? We haven't seen it but the neighbor girl loves the book(s).

    Keeping the Swine at Bay

    Our first line of defense is not having young children int he home! Our kids are all grown, so THEIR kids bring home lovely viruses to them! LOL.

    Tornado Season

    I heard there were a few pebbles of hail, near the game, but the bulk of the storm was actually north. Since funnels usually appear at the edges of the storms, other areas got the golf ball sized hail.

    No More Zicam: It should be a warning...

    Why would you try to talk your husband into trying it? I always ask this because it seems like wasted energy with most of the men I have known. LOL

    Another Hate Crime :-(

    It's what you don't teach that makes the difference. If you don't teach people that the world is a "Black or white proposition, when it comes to your daily choices, but functions in shades of gray, meaning you have to think through each situation, a lot of that "us vs. them" hatred couldn't...

    Health care reform?

    Have you ever noticed that most of those crying "socialized medicine" are using the very system they would deny us? The government provides healthcare for all of those representatives and senators sitting in Washington complaining how the government can't possibly be a viable option for the...

    Engineer Bill

    I never heard of Bill but remember watching Fraggle Rock and the "dozers" or whatever the construction dudes were called. Was Engineer Bill like Fraggle Rock, or was he more like "Mr. Wizard"?

    Any Other Sushi Lovers?

    I remember trying sushi a few years back, but didn't really like it as much as I thought I would. I didn't know that there was sushi that wasn't raw though. Where do you find that?

    Summer Meals

    I haven't had an artichoke in years, mainly because my husband isn't into dipping anything into butter. I've always wondered who figured out how to eat them!

    Tornado Season

    Have you ever sat through one of those afternoons where the sirens go off about 9 times in a 45 minute period? I can't tell if one of them is the all clear, if they are doing warnings then all clears several times an hour, if they are setting off the siren because there's actually a funnel...

    Kung Fu's David Carradine Dead

    It would seem like someone his age would have had enough experience with the activity to have taken some safety precautions, so I can see why the family might feel an outside investigation would be in order.

    Tornado Season

    We don't have a survival kit, per se, but we tend to watch the sky and know weather isn't looking good long before the weather service puts an alert out. I've never made a survival kit because we don't live far from emergency services. They could walk over to help us out, and vice versa.

    Fourteen?

    It kind of depends on how that inheritance is set up. If it is in a trust, then the trust pays her and is the actual entity with the money and not her. This means that she has no assets, because the trust has the assets. With no assets she'd still qualify for help, in most states, if memory...

    Make over shows...

    Do you ever get the feeling that societies are dying, everywhere? When disregarding someone's feelings becomes a form of entertainment, on a regular basis, something is terribly wrong!

    Has anyone heard.....?

    Well said, heretoday! I think that, once people realize that the banks are refusing funds and raising their interest rates while they foreclose right and left, the unrest seen in the UK during the G-20, might blossom here!

    Fourteen?

    Is there a limit on the number of dependents you can get credit for on your Federal Income Tax?

    The Chimp Attack...

    You are probably right. I read a National Geographic article a couple of years ago, stating that many scientists think that Chimps, as well as other Great Apes, should actually share more classifications with humans. They haven't pushed the issue because they fear people would be up in arms...

    This is scary....

    The president has to be able to do more than one thing at a time, just like the rest of us. His late night tv appearance probably did a lot to lift the spirits of some folks.

    New Credit Card Regulations

    The changes in the regulations are for cards in the USA. I think the card companies were a little shell shocked when Bush, of all people, approved the first changes that we have already experienced. Credit cards used to set payments so that paying the minimum payment meant you weren't paying...

    New Credit Card Regulations

    What I have seen is above and beyond what they have been doing all along. It's an increase, not the usual flow of enticements.
