LOL Bboobs...
And, I'm used to being teased about being a Latter-day Saint. We use LDS as a verbal "shorthand" and I get the LSD bit...
Plus, since I joined the Church 25 years ago, one of my brothers calls me "Mormon" or "Mormon Bates"...or "Bates"...I don't think I've heard him say my first name in a long, long, time. LOL! When I was serving as a missionary he did send a card occasionally and addressed it to me inserting "stormin' Mormon" as a middle name on the envelope. Ya gotta roll with it!
LOL!

beacon...you are a GREAT sport. You have to laugh at some people because you know they don't really mean it in a mean way, but a fun lovin' way. Your brother sounds like he should join this board..LOL !!!!

This brother is a scream. Very creative and quick-witted. When he speaks about me to my parents he refers to me as "your Mormon did this" or "your Mormon wants to do that..." And he says I'm a good sturdy "field Mormon" who can handle hard work.
He really is funny.

As loathe as I am to introduce things negative anywhere, I really want to express my sorrow about something, and there's no WAY I would trust putting it on the main board.
This situation in Chechnya is breaking my heart. I just sent my partner off for his first day back at school on Monday, so maybe that's why it's hitting me so hard. I can just imagine all these parents with their children showing up for their first day, new clothes and shiny hopeful expressions in place. And this horror that has descended upon them. I can't even imagine what anyone is thinking, no matter where they are.
What on earth has gone wrong with our species? How can we have gotten so completely lost that NOTHING is sacred anymore - anywhere? Really, it makes me hurt.
Ok, sorry to inflict that, but I'm just looking somewhere - anywhere - for a sign that people haven't completely lost their minds.

DG...
Yes, it is horrific. I am sick to my stomach about it and praying hard that the terrorists will just let those children go.
What a terrible, terrible thing.

DG..you are not alone on this. I have such a soft spot for children especially. I never understood my mother's undying love for her children until the day the doctor placed my first son in my arms. You just want to protect them from all evil. It's a tough situation. All we can do is pray and hope for the best.

undiscovered - for a minute I thought I was reading one of the threads about the convention, then realized you were responding to my post
As was just said, we can pray, we can hope - and I firmly believe that by living our lives to a higher standard we can't do anything but elevate the overall value of everyone's existense on this planet.
To us! The thinkers, feelers, creators and lovers - may our day in the sun be soon in coming, and may we all be here to hold each other's hands and enjoy the view.
It is just so hard to believe that so many humans can be so inhumane! The news is just so horrible the I can't watch the news.
Cheers DG !!! From your computer to God's.
Well friends...I'm off to La-La land. Everyone have a wonderful evening and I will talk to you all in the morning. Hugs and kisses all around. xoxoxoxox
'night boobs...
Dg, why in the world are you so eloquent when you speak? It's amazing.
Hey, guys. Running downstairs (I LOVE NYC's convenience!) for some ice cream (soooo bad) and coming back...have I missed Bushie's speech? Part of me wants to watch and part of me just wants to cringe and wonder what kind of mass hysteria and hypnosis is happening in the Garden right now.
get the Ice Cream B-way -- you will need it to get through the speech....
I'll take the vicoden UD...
Well folks it is getting late and that darn alarm clock goes off way too early. So I must be off to sleepy. Take care all, and the last one off the board please turn off the light!
hugs!
B
ugh, ugh, ugh. The man sickens me.
Thank god for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
I wish I had chocolate chip cookie dough with a vicodin in it while listening to Bush. As I sat here reading DGrant's post on the horrors of what is happening in Chechnya, I was hearing Dubya say that the world is a safer place because of the hard decisions he's had to make. It sickens me to listen to him.
Well, Nina, by the world is safer, he actually means the oil is in the hands of his buddy Texan Oil tycoons.
So, yeah, not safe at all...but definitely go capitalism!

safer ... with people like me in jail while wearing butterfly socks. yep kids, i'm a real national threat.
Wasn't there some guy named Osama something or other who we were supposed to be persuing? Whatever happened with that? Dubya seems to have forgotten all about it.
Aren't there a handful or so of people who are unemployed? I guess not enough to bother addressing teh situation.
Broadway Legend Joined: 6/14/04
Nina, get with the program! Why do you have to be so negative? Clearly those are tiny insignificant issues. God, can't Bush make one little speech without everyone criticizing him? He's an intellegent guy. He totally knows what hes doing.
Osama is right behind the Weapons of Mass Destruction Nina...can't you see him???
The unemployed ain't got no TV -- so they can't see and "W" don't care
I'm sorry, I just can't get behind a president that still pronounces the word "Nuculer" Updated On: 9/2/04 at 11:22 PM

well Nina ... apparently you're beyond pleasing. You probably like those "gay" characters too. Clearly your vote/opinion don't matter.
Oh, Nina, let us not forget that he dodged the health care bullet by saying he wants to let people create privatized accounts.
I love it. Let's dodge the issue of providing quality care by letting YOU put your own money into something that might not work and will probably just fill the coffers of already-wealthy banks.
Yeah, that'll work. But we can't have socialized health care. Socialism is next to communism and we can't have our government getting bigger unless it's the military and military funding/spending.
