Ummmmmmm ... :-))
Too bad, I don't seem to know any string songs.
Frank Sinatra: I've Got the World On A String
Ive got the world on a string
Im sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life - Im in love
String...I think in songs, too. I get it. Totally. :)
Aww, thanks, Anonymous :-)
Robin, isn't it odd? I will have a song in my head without realizing it, and then realize it's totally related to whatever is going on, or what I've been talking/thinking about.
Heh, I like it that you do it too :-))
Apropos de nada, une chanson para tu :-)
Hey dum diddly dum,
Hey dum diddly dum,
Hey dum diddly,
Hey dum diddly,
Hey dum diddly dum.
Trust me, if you knew the tune, this would stick in your head.
I keep thinking I'm having heart palpitations, but I think it's my fetus moving around. Weird. At least I hope it's not heart palpitations. Shit, maybe I'm dying. String, is there a song for that?
Julia
Oh chit, Julia, don't ask me! I'm not a doctor :-P
Well, I didn't see that coming, JM is done with her blog
Yes, well, maybe Mickey D's will pick it up :-)) she says. Or maybe her naysayers :-)
Here you go, Julia, from Mariah -
There goes, there goes,
There goes my heart again.
There goes my heart again.
Baby, baby, baby, baby,
There goes my heart again.
Julia, you have a fetus? Did I miss this announcement somewhere along the lines or did I acknowledge it and forget? Or are you announcing it right now? However it falls, congratulations!!
So, JM's fucking herself over even harder by totally devaluing the blog by closing it up some two weeks before her next bankruptcy hearing. Well, *that will just about guarantee a trial and a particularly pissed off trustee, won't it? The hell, does she *want to be in jail? As for Israel being back...Jesus, I gave him way too much credit. Any damn day now she's going to be pregnant. *sighs*
Oh, and...
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.
Just remember the more she says how great it is, the less true that is.
Or, wait, is it possible the trustee made her shut it down so it could be sold now? Huh.
Awwww, Lisa ♥♥♥ Strings :-))
It could be either one, IMO. She's great at shooting herself in the foot for no apparent reason (except maybe a childish spite?)
OR maybe this is all starting to happen.
Though I personally don't think she'll have any dire consequences.
Lisa:
I don't think I made a big announcement. I just got done being pregnant, and am pregnant again. so it all kind of blurs to me. Fortunately, at 19 weeks, I haven't gained any weight, which with my first I'd already gained 20 pounds at this point. I'm 5'2 and weighed around 130 before I had firsty, so I was afraid I'd top the scales at 200 lbs this time. I know you shouldn't be obsessed with weight while pg, but man, my face is fat. Really fat!! This will be my last.
In regards to Mck: Ill believe she's gone when I see it.
Julia
That was quite a ramble: ol wall of text.
Sorry
Julia
You'll lose it, Julia. Uh, how's your heart?
Contracts Julia.
I'm worried about approaching 200lbs too.
Palpitating. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow: I'll get myself an EKG and make sure I'm not dying. My husband would be pissed if I died and left him with 2 kids under 2
Julia
"Lisa ♥♥♥ Strings"
Awww, shaddup! *kicks dirt*
You know, I hope she has dire consequences but I am not going to be a bit shocked if somehow, some way, she slides out of this with nothing but the bankruptcy being denied. I did have a passing wonder if perhaps they're realizing she could go to jail and they want Israel in the house, settled in, so it's less shocking to the kids. But, in the end, I'm just a dreamer.
Julia, you think she'll crop up with another blog when the bankruptcy is over? And you're smart, imo, having your kids close together. I'll have my fingers crossed you don't gain a pound more than you have to, as well. :-)
She's not done. Mark my words, ladies. She's way too much of an attention hound. The mere fact that she finished up that spiel with, "But you can keep in touch on my FB page...." Not.done.at.all.
Jennifer never does anything without a motive.
AWAGN
Darn, Julia, was hoping you were kidding. (I mean, you are "kid"ing, but you know what I mean.)
Best of luck from String ♥
"Jennifer never does anything without a motive."
And there you go. That's one thing I think everyone can agree on. As an aside, hopefully this will serve to give Anja a break, too.
I'm sure I'm fine. I'm just being a bit dramatic. I'm pretty sure it's moving baby.
Lisa: I know I'll lose baby weight, but I love to eat food, and hate to watch what I eat and all. That's the sucky part.
Mck will be back. No way she can live without adoration and attention from strangers.
Julia
I'm like that too, Julia. But I find that all is good when I worry it into the ground :-)
Would some wonderful homemade p.b. help?
Wonder what Barb and Tina will do now?
Julia
Aw yay Julia, I'm a big fan of having them close together :)
Julia, they always have NieNie. Alternately, maybe they could combat bullying in real life. They could get a mascot kind of like McGruff The Crime Dog or something and get famous!
Mascot=BooMbooM ain't it great to be crazy :-)
Ha! I translated that one, String! Of course, you basically drew us (okay, me) a picture but hey, it's a start. ;-)
You know, nothing is really going to change with her blog shutting down. I mean, it's been all but shut down for ages now...I'm thinking Barb ought not give up on her blog quite yet.
I can't really see her stopping unless MWOP shuts down, no matter what she says.
Bet JMs blog is getting a lot of hits from people wondering if it's gone yet ;-)
And I wonder if the bankruptcy court realizes she has McKmoomoo AND mycharm...kids. I don't know enough about it to know if it matters.
Never mind on that last wondering. The court knows about both.
Hi there, I was told to come to this site and tell my story. There is a lady name Tina on bwop that is posting comments that were not written by me. She has posted my name too? I do not read that site. I do post on mwop. This woman has taken it upon herself to single me out. I do not understand. I posted on bwop to tell her to stop using my name. Now she is posting comments that are not from me. She even said she was worried about her safety! She said I told he I know where you live. Has anyone here had problems with her? What should I do to stop her?
Tina is nuts, she us the self appointed bully crusader. Sadly she is one if the biggest bullies out there. She picks people and harasses them relentlessly until they have had enough and either go under cover or disappear all together. I'm sorry she is targeting you, but I am nog sure what you think anyone here can do. She is all types of crazy.
Sorry
I know of quite a few who went underground on Tina's last go round. Daisy used to be a hopping place until Tina decided posting pictures of people's houses, names and places of employment was a good idea. She's a nut ball to be sure and the best advice is not to engage. You can't win with a crazy person.
I'm sorry that you are her newest target. She and BMM are the types that feed their self righteousness by 'exposing' those they feel have done wrong. Keep in mind now that nothing that they ever do is wrong. In fact when she had her little thing going with names and pictures she did it to one gal who NEVER had anything bad to say about anyone but because she DARED post here she was fair game.
There isnt much anyone here can do because BBC and there is just a bit more of it in some then others :)
Ditto on what everyone else said re: Tina. I'm not shocked that she's posting to her own blog using other people's names. I may be wrong but I think BMM's heart is in the right place even if she's a over zealous. I'm sure if BMM knew the things that Tina has done she would want no part of bwop.
Ahhh, you must be L., Anon 4:58. Look, Tina is who she is and really, there's not a lot you can do to stop her or anyone else from posting anything they like. The same laws, or lack thereof, that protect MWOP also protect her and her blog. Also, the more freaked out you are by this and the more reaction she gets, the more she'll keep it up. That's how bullies work and yes, I know Tina will read that and that's okay. At the same time, she needs to remember her own name is out there now and with it, it's not hard to find all sorts of info on her, as well. Now, that's no threat on my part, as I don't really give a good goddamn what she does anymore to others...learned a harsh lesson on that before, trying to protect some from her and LuLu back ages ago and having it bite me in my ass. But there may be a bit of protection for those who are scared in the fact her own info is out there now. Personally, I'd advise you to just not worry over it and let it go. I mean, you can't prove you didn't write those and it's super easy to fake being another person online, which most intelligent people know. Just trust that those who know you believe you and try to not let it get to you. You're most welcome to hang out here, tell your story and anything else you wish, but there's really not a lot we can do here to help you or anyone else, you know?
6:55, I agree about Barb...she's being used.
"In fact when she had her little thing going with names and pictures she did it to one gal who NEVER had anything bad to say about anyone but because she DARED post here she was fair game."
That? Still pisses me off.
Still pisses me off too if you cant tell. Wasnt right at all. Guilt by association? Really? Bullshit if you ask me. People can go where ever they want to online really, we all know Tina has done her share, but to target someone who didnt do anything but chat on a board? That to me shows who the bullies really are.
You also said it best about Tina and the like. If you jump up and down making a scene about something all it does is fuel her fire.
Well, if it turns into anything like that again, it's liable to be very, very interesting considering the number of people who would be involved this time. Should we lay in snacks, cheap rum and Schlitz, do you think?
I think we should :) Lawn chairs and tubetops all around....string can bring some of those fancy Leggs hats
Caroline. Her name is Caroline.
I'll bring the deviled eggs, or would you prefer pickled herring?
~ZIP~
Tina's blog on moderation LOL. Prob feeling a little pressure. Not worth getting your name associated with bullies and JM is not worth defending. At all.
Page Wynne
I have an attorney investigating Tina Lanclos Wards online behavior. He is working on serving her a civil suit for defamation of character, and harassment. Although posting online isn't a criminal offense, anyone can bring a civil suit for anything. I've got time and money, and I'm sick of her bullshit.
Schlitz? Shall I order the keg? I'll run down to the gas station and get us some cheetos. Maralboro Reds anyone? Lisa, I'll get your recliner out of storage. Shannon, lawn chair or hammock?
I think a keg is definitely in order and cases of Cheetos :) I think a hammock would be much more comfortable then a lawn chair especially after a lawn chair lead to me seeing a chiropractor for weeks LOL
Cant argue with the time and money LOL I just hate to see someone who was worse then the worse acting so high and mighty and better then everyone. She was, and really still is, a ring leader.
I do agree about Barb to a degree. She may be overzealous but I do think her heart is in the right place and she sees Tina as being someone of the same mind only because she has never seen how she was not so very long ago.
Sandy, grab my old vinyl recliner, will you? The rain won't hurt it anymore and it's big enough for two if we squoosh. And yep, better get a keg or two, since I have a funny feeling we might be needing it. Are those kegs bulletproof, by chance?
"I'll bring the deviled eggs, or would you prefer pickled herring?"
Hey, 8:25, while I appreciate the spirit you've got there, couldn't that money be spent on something more worthwhile? 'Cause I know you have to know she's not doing anything legally wrong, at least that I've seen. Then again, it's not my money so hey...what do I know?
Lol @ the appropriateness of those choices. I've never had pickled herring.
I think with the choice I am going to have to pick the eggs.....just please someone watch me because I will eat them all if left unsupervised LOL
I'll try to pick up those plastic rain ponchos and hats. Don't want our tube tops or hair getting wet.
Oh no cant have that because tubetops are already precariously perched and if our Leggs get wet we may suffocate
I don't give a rat's ass about them revealing anyone's real name, but I WOULD love to know if anyone from OHIO is still posting at mwop/bwop under their fake names. I don't know..just to make a "connection". I feel so out of touch with those boards now. Like I'm a stranger. Some of you guys are great at noticing writing styles & can tell if someone you "know" is posting under another name.
Pickled herring & cheetos please :-P with a bottle of some kind of white wine. Don't like beer. Hammock would be great. And I'm knitting the L'Eggs hats as I speak :-)
Is that Susan Boyle song from Les Miserables? Anyone more cultured than me? I had no idea, but just saw an ad for the movie. I might have to go see that.
And to think that I defended TLW a while back. Sheesh.
Pass the cheetos.
OHIO? Yes, that's the state I want to know if you are from lol. OHIH
LOL You have no idea how many times i have made that slip :)
OHIO? OHIO???? OHIH??? yeah that's it :) it feels wrong to type
Wow! This place has really blown up. Poor Tina. She so cray.
PS: I love deviled eggs.
Julia
Someone's good at recognizing people. They recognize me here :-)) and I have no idea why.
(strolls off whistling Strangers in the Night...)
Okay, no pickled herring for me :-) Julia has to have the damn eggs.
How are you Julia?
I'm great string. So, apparently heart palpitations are normal in pregnancy. I am having them, but it's nothing to worry about, we think. I did not know this.
Also, it's a boy.
Also, I've gained NO POUNDS!!!! Woot.
I can't wait for the anon that is suing Tina to fill us in on details.
Oh wow, that's great! Your first is a girl, yes? I'm so happy for you that I'll eat deviled eggs :-)
Gawd we're gonna look great in these get-ups :-O
"Someone's good at recognizing people. They recognize me here :-)) and I have no idea why."
I hate to admit this, but at first, I thought String was BMM! I don't have a clue who she really is though :)
(runs from the room crying)
Aww string, I know who you are. You are no BMM, poor thing.
Julia
Heh. Heh heh. Nope I am *Not.
A song comes to mind...
I have sinned dear Father Father I have sinned
Try and help me Father
Won't you let me in? Liar
Nobody believes me Liar
Why don't they leave me alone?
Sire I have stolen stolen many times
Raised my voice in anger
When I know I never should
Liar oh ev'rybody deceives me
Liar why don't you leave me alone
Liar I have sailed the seas
Liar from Mars to Mercury
Liar I have drunk the wine
Liar time after time
Liar you're lying to me
Liar you're lying to me
Father please forgive me
You know you'll never leave me
Please will you direct me in the right way
Liar liar liar liar
Liar that's what they keep calling me
Liar liar liar
I can't help it, that thinking in songs thing.
;)
I have read the "new" forum (No Pity....) and feel no sympathy for Anoy 4:58. She along with others in their "private" forum have said some nasty things about the children. To me that is over the top when the kids have no say about their lifestyle or physical attributes.
oops that was me
~ZIP~
You said it right there private forum. And while I may not agree with the stuff that's being been said about the children she still has a right to say anything in aprivate setting and not be harassed by crazy people like Tina Ward
Wonders why in the world Robin is thinking about liars :-P
I agree with you Anon 11:00, but it would astound the members of MWOP to know that some of them were "picked apart" on that forum too. Especially since the "pickers" are still friendly on MWOP to the "picked up on". Crazy world.
~ZIP~
I made an empty post?
!!!
Do I get a daisy for that or something?
Robin, I'm sorry. I forgot to get the floral arrangement at the gas station. Can you wait until tomorrow? I'm pretty tired after moving the keg and Lisa's chair.
♣ <---will this do?
I wanted flowers too :-( but it says "Comment should not be empty".
I guess you are more special than me, Robin.
Awww, I'm glad you'll have one of each, Julia! So will Jill. :-)
"And to think that I defended TLW a while back."
Oh, I still will...at least a bit. I rather admire people who are persistent and don't back down from something they feel strongly about, all while making me chuckle. I feel that way about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, too. Sarah Palin and Lil Wayne, too.
8:54, I'm pretty sure a few from OHIH are still there, but I don't know what names they may be using but for one, Heather in Texas, because I saw her use that name there. It's been a long time since I've seen her, though.
You know, I don't care what people say about kids as long as the kids won't ever see it. Maybe I lack a sensitivity gene or something but a private blog? Have at it, as far as I'm concerned. If the kids ever see it, it'll be the fault of the one who leaked it out, not the one who said it.
Between the pickled herring and the deviled eggs, we're certainly going to be a noxiously gassy bunch soon.
Oh Zip, I doubt anyone would be that surprised, since they said they were starting it because of excessive flagging and hall monitors and such.
Just tell me you don't admire Michele Bachmann. Please. please.
Isn't Flawed an oldie?
How the heck did you do that Robin?
ZIP, don't you think they probably know they're talked about? The ones that are, I mean?
"Just tell me you don't admire Michele Bachmann. Please. please."
No, mostly I just want to slap the shit out of her.
Is Flawed from OHIH? Huh...I wonder who she is. Now I'm going to be curious.
Lisa: I have no idea. I posted and submitted...and the daisies rolled for a bit as my post was posting and...it came up empty.
Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do.
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage.
But you'll look sweet,
Upon the seat,
Of a bicycle made for two.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/valentines-day-daisy-daisy-lyrics.html ]
Michael, Micheal, here is your answer true.
I'm not crazy all for the love of you.
There won't be any marriage,
If you can't afford a carriage.
'Cause I'll be switched,
If I get hitched,
On a bicycle built for two!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41U78QP8nBk
Heyyy I was just thinking that song :-)
Wasn't her old name .... Daisy?
Of course you were, String! ;) :D
I'm a daisy, you're a daisy, she's a daisy, she's a daisy;
Would you like to be a daisy too?
Can you place it?
Now I want a Dr. Pepper to go with my pickled herring. ;-) Good morning, all!
:-))
I was just reading over at MWOP and I can't believe no one made the (possible, anyway) connection of a Mel4Him posting there and Tina thanking a "Mel" for babysitting BWOP while she was gone. Or, maybe they did make the connection and just didn't say it out loud. Ah, well,could be a coincidence, too...
We need new gossip, I think. ;-)
Is there a "Mel" or is "Mel" the same one that posted as "LT". Now that her name is out there it’s just a matter of time before she claims that someone sent an FB message to her kids with a link to bwop, then the FBI and Interpol will be called in to investigate. I can't comprehend why she keeps this going. She does not like certain people she's met on line and vice versa (insert Just Walk Away Renee lyrics here).
No, I couldn't possibly walk away now. It's too entertaining. Btw, you spelled my name wrong.;)
I'm from OHIO :P but not from OHIH :)
I'm trying to get all caught up on the drama. Not JM related but.. We are supposed to go to a baseball game tonight as date night and I can't talk myself into leaving the baby with a sitter, 0_0
Mama is it the first time you will be using a sitter? It is always scary when they are so little. But remember mamas sometimes need to get out and have grown up interaction :)
Hi fellow Daisies. I just wanted to say I'd love to read along and contribute here, since I think the situations with Rhys and JM are probably both pretty snark-and-conversation-worthy and figure there's a lot more to be heard on both of those stories. That said, it's damn hard to have any kind of intelligent, or even silly/fun/snarky conversation when you have BB1 and BB2 (BB = bats in the belfry) insisting on carrying on some kind of demented Hee-Haw sing-a-long. Anyone else tired of trying to figure out any kind of rhyme or reason to it? Or picturing someone sitting in their dirty pink sweatpants eating Cheetos and drinking Big Gulps of Mountain Dew laughing maniacally and humming along as they post their deranged ditties here, imagining anyone else finds anything even remotely entertaining or interesting from them?
Time for your jello and your meds, BB1 and BB2.
~Lauren Who Speaks Truth~
Sorry Lauren, but I think you are in the minority.
Technically I think it's Big GULP (all CAPS, ahem) but as I remember it the girls here drink Schlitz. As for BB it reminds me of a song:
I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my God, what's that
Oh it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back
Big GULP= never had one
Mountain Dew= urine-colored yuck
sweatpants= no thanks, too saggy
J-E-L-L-O= too sweet for me
BB= "blemish balm" with really awful commercial
LWST= better find those meds
Sense of humor= Priceless
Cheetos= Now we're talkin' :-D
Mine, though, are imaginary, since I'll only buy them once a year.
Got a not-too-sweet Chardonnay, or Sauvignon Blanc?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through;
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Way down South where bananas grow,
A flea stepped on an elephant's toe.
The elephant cried, with tears in his eyes;
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through;
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Way up North where there's ice and snow,
There lived a penguin and his name was Joe.
He got so tired of black and white,
He wore pink slacks to the dance last night!
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through;
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Nope, Anon. Too much Mountain Dew has addled your brain. Ahem. It's just Big Gulp. The all capital letters you're thinking of are probably the "XXL" on the waistband of your pink sweatpants.
~Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
Don't cry for me, Argen-Tina ....
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true.
Oh so many chuckles
I love the songs because they do seem so appropriate :)
Siiiing,
Sing a song;
Sing out loud;
Sing out strong!
Sing of good things, not bad;
Sing of happy, not sad.
Siiiing,
Sing a song;
Make it simple
To last your whole life long.
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear;
Just siiing,
Sing a song :-)
Compliments of Sesame Street :-))
I have a string of random letters for you ..... FTLD.
~Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
Whoa Nellie! Someone woke up cranky assed. Did the Whack A Mole game get busted?
:::sipping on my Slurpee and strolling through the Daisies in my sequined tube top:::
I'm so pretty, so very pretty :::twirl:::
Sandy, thanks for the Cheetos and Schlitz. Lisa, scootch your ass over and share the recliner.
Enjoy :-P
You don't remember me, but I remember you.
'Twas not so long ago, you broke my heart in two.
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, youuuuu
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate;
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate.
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you.
Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love, she'll fill your heart with joyyyyy.
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate.
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate.
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, youuuu.
The :::twirling around in sequined tube-tops::: and incessant jabbering about Schlitz and Cheetos, regularly peppered with the Kornfield Kounty nonsense are exactly why this blog really hasn't ever taken off again. Any time anything of any actual content comes up it's drowned out in this kind of babble that only a very few want to participate in, much like the nerds at a high school dance who lack the social skills to actually engage in the dance, so turn to birdbrain banter that no one but them thinks is funny or wants to engage in.
Too bad, since there are some awfully smart, sharp, and funny people hanging around who, if they didn't have to wade through the absurdity, would probably love to be part of an interesting and engaging blog.
And before you all start shaking your jello cups at me and telling me to go elsewhere if I don't like it, take a second to ask yourself how many people ever post here any more with any degree of regularity, and if you take out all the Loony Lawrence Welk show posts and all the posts with twirling and beer and orange snack foods, what are you left with? Not a hell of a lot. Which is pretty sad, given how this blog (and others before it) once was.
~Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
So exactly what do you think we should be talking about? LWST,but isnt Lauren/Tina?
What do you want to talk about?
I'm all for any subject that will result in actual thoughts being presented that offer something that in turn can be followed with another thought being presented. Just like a real grown-up conversation! Talk amongst yourselves and see if you can't think of something. It'll be like a little thinking exercise.
~Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
OK I'll start. What if the world really is flat?
Tsk, tsk. That's not an actual subject that generates conversation, since even people with addled brains generally know the answer to that, and once you've answered it (no is the answer, btw, although there are some very, very flat locations in the world) there's not much else to chat about. Unless you wonder if Christopher Columbus and Queen Isabella were bumping fuzzies behind King Ferdinand's back.
That was a good attempt, though. Keep trying, you'll get the hang of this yet!
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
Oh! Turns out I'm the one with the addled brain this time. I don't know what if the world is flat. I guess with global warming the polar bears will eventually float off the edge. I still wonder about CC and QI going at it, though.
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
OMG I have always wondered about Chris & Isa! I check TMZ for all my info, but could not find anything concrete. Why don't you just get the ball rolling with something since you are the queen o'ideas. We'll join in if we think we can keep up.
Here's one- what do you do with obnoxious twats who are turns in the punch bowl at our party?
Nah, I threw down the challenge to y'all first. If you're happy with the four or five of you yammering on about Schlitz and tube-tops, humming along to the manic melodies, and feel that can keep you enthralled for a sustained period of time, you don't need to accept that challenge personally, of course, and I won't judge you.
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
*turds
Turns in the punch bowl ARE obnoxious. They cause sloshing, which is never acceptable. Come to think of it, TWATS in a punch bowl are never acceptable, either. What kind of parties do you attend, anyway?
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
See but now I feel all political :) Just got done reading how Romney's heart aches for struggling Americans. I had to laugh at that a lot since it is a far cry from him not being concerned with not getting the 47% who are on government aid. I think he was actually told by someone that if he is elected President he will be getting more government assistance then any struggling family, elderly person, military man/woman....he was probably also reminded that as a former Governor he has been a part of the 47% for a while now.
Here's an interesting article on that very subject (well, on the subject of Romney and his "47%" comment) giving a different perspective.

It's not really a way I had thought about it, myself.
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
It really is not a way I had thought of that comment either. I think a person's pocketbook does have something to do with how they vote but there are so many other reasons as to why an individual casts their vote.
Apparently because he has always had money and never had to think about living without it he feels that is the biggest thing people want. I dont want what he has anymore then I feel that someone should live off of what I have and never work a day in their lives. It isnt all about money...it is about so much more then that.
ROFL!

String, can you sing me a song? Your voice is like buttah.
"[...why this blog really hasn't ever taken off again.]

I agree. Whose blog are we talking about? I don't have one. BTW, no one should throw stones, anyway. It's not nice, and potentially dangerous if you have bad eye/hand coordination.
"BTW, "...(no is the answer...)" actually is *not* an answer to the question , "What if the world really is flat?"

Thanks. I picked up on that, because I'm just quick like that. (Refer back to my second post following the question.)
Too bad no one else is sufficiently well-read to pick up and carry on with Shannon's attempt at an actual conversation. Ah well, this blog was fun back in its day before the numbnuts killed it.

Jeeeez, Louise, y'all. I'm gone a few hours and come back to find the Roman Catholic church has not only flattened the Earth again, but they've put twats in our punchbowl.
"Humor is a sign of intelligence. Discuss."
By "humor", do you mean being humorous or finding humor in things?
"Although I've been around since the OHIO (or OHIH, as it was) days, I never got involved in any way with that whole debacle. I would have, but just could never muster up the interest."

Both, Lisa. I have a song in mind too :-)
"I have a song in mind too :-)"
Well, just keep it there, God knows you have the space to spare up there, and we'll all go to bed happy.
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
Caroline, you just bust on out with it, if you'd like.
So, serious conversation, hmmm? That article linked up there? Says this:
"Romney implies that people vote their pocketbooks, that people vote based only on their immediate financial interest, as they conceive it. But the majority of people simply do not behave in this way. In presidential elections, the majority vote according to what they think is right."
I disagree with this...or maybe I don't and I'm just taking it further, I'm not sure. I believe that most Democrats vote based on taxpayer pocketbooks. They vote for what they can get out of this from the government or, alternately, they're of the limousine-liberal crowd who vote for what others can get from taxpayer's pocketbooks and are typically well-off enough that what little they pay in taxes doesn't bother them. Well-off Republicans vote on who will keep the Democrats, especially the poor ones, out of taxpayer pocketbooks so there's more money to be taken out of those same pocketbooks to fund corporate welfare and big business. Poor Republicans (mostly white) vote to keep the poor Democrats from getting tax dollars because we have too many minority welfare mamas sucking the government's teats dry and by God they aren't white. Libertarians vote for whoever wants the taxpayer pocketbooks to remain untouched by anyone but for basic things we all can use, like roads and schools. In the end, I still think it's all about financial interests, as that *is the basis of what is morally right to most people who vote. Well, excepting wars and reproductive issues.
Well where the hell have I been? Milli or vanilli is dead? That sucks. I remember when all that came out about faking and my mom couldn't understand why I would not take my tape back to the store.
Had to google it, I really don't live under a rock. 1998! Jeez
Okay, I know you're younger than me since I was in my 20's when it came out. Memories...I had an '87 Dodge Daytona with jacked up air shocks on the back, a glass pack muffler and wide tires, dark gray with limo tint windows and a pink neon kit underneath. *sighs* I loved that car so damn much and I'd drive along the beach with Milli Vanilli turned way up. those were the days, I tell you. And a tape? They still made tapes then?
Hmm could have been one if my first CDs. Not sure, I remember my first tape being hysteria. Bug I am blank on CDs. I had my pink boom box, big hair, and hula hoop earrings. Best days ever.
Lisa, the Democrats that I know aren't trying to get something from the government, or not for themselves anyway. I would say they think the poor, especially children, who didn't ask to be born into their circumstances, should have some ability to get *onto the playing field, even if it isn't a level field.
As to the minority welfare mamas, the majority of welfare recipients in my state are white, though I realize you aren't necessarily claiming that view as your own.
I don't think that my own political views, such as they are, are based on finances. I may be an anomaly though. I'm not at heart a political person, meaning political in the broadest sense.
"though I realize you aren't necessarily claiming that view as your own."
No, I'm not...just putting it out there based on what I see and hear, but nothing more. :-)
"I would say they think the poor, especially children, who didn't ask to be born into their circumstances, should have some ability to get *onto the playing field, even if it isn't a level field."
Not at the expense of others, though...not off the labor of others, imo. Life, just by virtue of being life, isn't fair. That's how it works, always has and always will. Some will always have a lot, some will always have nothing, sometimes through no fault or effort of their own. And that's okay, it's supposed to be that way...it's just life. You know? So, do you think their ability to get on that playing field should be funded by others, then?
Mmmm ... I know you're *right. Life *is like that. I still want kids to be *on the field though. What they do with it after that is always up to them. I worry as I see education increasingly privatized, that *that way of leveling, which worked for a long time, is no longer working.
Where I live, many of the wealthiest families were philanthropists, historically. That has disappeared in the last couple of decades, and it changes everything. They gave *willingly.
And people *should give willingly, if they can. Charity is a fine thing, both to give and take, equally, as one needs and sees fit. There's also no shame in accepting it, as it's help and everyone needs some type of help from others at some point. But it's no longer charity when it's taken from people against their will...it's theft. I, too, worry about our education system on many levels, though. It's failing so very many kids now, and from all walks of life. That said, I don't really care about the kids being failed so much as I care about what the end result will be on society.
I care about both. I guess I like working on the minutiae with the big picture in mind.
That's funny, since I feel the same. :-)
Well, aren't you an odd duck :-))
Mind if I finish the night with a song?

Honey, there's a song called "Numbnuts" and if you google it, you can sing it for us.
And no, I'm not an odd duck, thankyouverymuch.
Linda, you bring back fond memories for me, just like Milli Vanilli does. :-)
Now I'm all verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves!
Ok, I'm back.
Mitt Romney. Boxers, briefs or special Mormon underewear. Discuss.
Awww Lisa. I was just checking to see if you were awake :-D
I was gonna sing "You're an a$$ho!e".
And let you all karaoke to the youtube :-)
True thing: I find Mormon undergarments interesting. As a result, I vote for those.
"Now I'm all verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves!"
Uh-oh, that's Yiddish and everyone knows I don't like Jews, Linda.
Not to worry. I'm a cashew. Part Catholic and part Jew.

That might be worse...now you're a real nut.
If taxpayers support public education for children, then why not have taxpayers support health care for children?
There are options out in place for children to be homeschooled or private schooled. Those same options could be in place for private health care insurance.

Ahem ....
Memories,
Like the corners of my mind,
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were.
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? could we?
Memories, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The waaay we weeere...
(takes a bow and vows to remember the lyrics to the a$$ho!e song, for later. In memory of ...
well... then ... inspired by ... the card above.)

The Civil War was a war about economics, not slavery. Discuss.

Love that song.
Two days ago I was thnking of a dear friend and how much they have been with me through the years. "Wind Beneath My Wings" soared into my head. I am not a song person, so it hit me front and center.
And I am being very serious.
Being even more serious.
I am a damn Yankee through and through. Don't mistake me for a Repulican, though. (Even though I do digress and say I would like to know what "Magical Underwear* Romney is sporting).
I don't what kind of undies Mitt wears, (although I see him as a tighty whitey man), but on Live with Kelly and Michael, when asked what he sleeps in Ann answered "as little as possible".
String, you voice is like buttah.
Um, Linda, I'm worried about you :-))
I am a Republican and proud of it. Ridiculous the state of affairs the current president has allowed. I'd love to see Mitt in or out of his tighty whiteys!
And no, its voice isn't like buttah. It's like what comes out your buttah after a bad batch of pepperoni too late at night.
~Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
I'd say something witty, but apparently I've been labeled an idiot, so why bother? :)
Someone called you an idiot? That was rude.
I see Addled Brain Syndrome has struck again. The Civil War absolutely was about slavery. Slavery, or the threat to it, was what stoked the idea of a secession, which was what caused the Civil War to break out. Yes, economics played a role, because the existence or non-existence of slavery had an impact on the pocketbooks of everyone, but if there wasn't slavery to begin with there wouldn't have been the need or desire for secession. Easy-peasy logic, huh?
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
Hi, hi!
"If taxpayers support public education for children, then why not have taxpayers support health care for children?"
Because supporting public education benefits everyone, in one way or another. Most of our doctors, nurses, mechanics, general contractors, truck drivers, teachers, etc. graduated from public schools. Whether we have kids of our own or not, we directly benefit from the education received by others every day. The same can't be said for healthcare for kids.
"There are options out in place for children to be homeschooled or private schooled. Those same options could be in place for private health care insurance."
The only option for those is that parents can choose to use them if they have the money or don't work. An average, working class family probably won't be able to use either option, no matter how badly they would love to. Plus, those options don't cost taxpayers anything...just the opposite, in fact.
"Memories,
Like the corners of my mind,"
I love this song...love the movie, too. :-)
"The Civil War was a war about economics, not slavery. Discuss."
Well, it was somewhat about both, since slavery played a part in the economical issues. Mostly it was about the rights of states, though.
In terms of schooling, putting everyone on a playing field, level or otherwise, I think that's a wonderful idea, were it a world where those people were actually going to try and make something of themselves. I doubt they will. It's just too easy to be a nothing. No expectations, no goals, no desire to be anything, because it's easier that way. I'm sure that sounds harsh, but really, am I wrong? I don't think so. You can't make silk purses out of sows' ears. Some people just aren't worth the effort. Sometimes, even if they are worth the effort, they still aren't going to be taken seriously by people simply because of their background. Survival of the fittest and such.
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
Okay, I just don't want to think about Mitt and his undies, oir lack thereof. Actually, I don't want to think about any of the candidates in their undies unless, somehow, we can get Sarah Palin to run again. I could rethink my stance on underwear if that happens.
"I am a damn Yankee through and through. Don't mistake me for a Repulican, though."
Kaytie, please stop talking like this.
"I'd say something witty, but apparently I've been labeled an idiot, so why bother? :)"
Oh, I dunno...if you can survive being called a butt plug, I'd think you could stand being called an idiot. :-D
" Slavery, or the threat to it, was what stoked the idea of a secession, which was what caused the Civil War to break out."
No, no, no...slavery was symbolic and it symbolized the rights of states to do as they wished, to do what was best for their own citizens, without interference from the federal government.
"Sometimes, even if they are worth the effort, they still aren't going to be taken seriously by people simply because of their background. Survival of the fittest and such."
I absolutely agree with what you said...and it scares me some.
Want some chocolates LWST?
Right. That's what I said, kind of. One side wanted slaves, the other side thought it was Very Wrong. They, however, didn't want to be Very Poor, so when secession was attempted as a way to avoid slavery being made illegal, they decided a bitch slap in the form of war was necessary. It served to let those slave-owners know that they were getting too big for their britches by trying to go around the all-powerful Government. But still, slavery was at the core.
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
/headdesk
Again, no. The rights of individual states to decide that for themselves was at the core. Do you know what "core" means?
Thanks for asking, but no thank you to the chocolates. The only way to steer clear of sweatpants being your sole clothing choice is good food choices!
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
"Again, no. The rights of individual states to decide that for themselves was at the core. Do you know what "core" means?"
Yes. It's what slavery was to the Civil War. Hopefully that clears it up for you!
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
LWST, want some of my gooey butter cake? Probably not right?
No, thanks! Going out the door pretty soon to eat with my wonderful hubby and a couple of the grands. Maybe a buffet, because that's what he really likes, but I'll be sure to make good choices, and coach the girls to do the same. No one likes fat girls, although I know it's not polite to say that. But it's the truth.
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
Don't fall off your high horse on the way to the buffet. Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.
I like fat girls. Well, not grossly obese fat, but girls who are Paula's size before she lost weight and tried to hide her diabetes are good. :-)
Lauren, thank you for clarifying or whatever that was.
Has anyone heard anymore news about Rhys and Lia?
My husband Michael is quite partial to the junk in my trunk if you know what I mean. ;)
My husband likes the junk in my trunk, too. He just likes his trunk junk to be tight and firm, not all vajiggle-jaggle-ey. If you know what I mean. ;-)
Last I heard about Rhys and Lia the court stuff was postponed again. And she was maybe going to get an RV to live in or something or other.
You're welcome, Lisa! I knew you probably just misread what I originally wrote.
~ Lauren Who Speaks Truth ~
Shoot. I have that same song running through my head again.
String - things running through your mind repetitively sounds like one of the early warning signs of dementia. Seek medical help!

Did someone mention my name earlier?
Listen here Ms. High and Mighty LWST. Bitch it ain't nice to call people fat. You made more trips to the buffet than that loser Drew Carey did.

Hey, hey, heeeeeyyy! *waves to Fat Albert*
