Reply to 2004 Presidential Exit Polls in Politics JoeUser Forums

Mmm, from most of the blogs I've read so far, (and according to this much-detailed poll, this really spelt it out), most republicans believe that democrats: don't earn a lot of money; belongs to a union; don't have an high school education; don't attend church; never served in the military; aren't married or/ they're all gays; or single mothers on welfare; doesn't own a gun; couldn't care less about our lives, children, the rest of America; have no mo

Reply to I think my son has ADD and I am heartbroken. in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

Dharmagrl, I feel your anxiety. My son is 10 and he had a problem last year with his teacher in 4th Grade. He's the kind of child that is very creative and loves adventures. He especially loves to draw. He loves cartoons. My son was always on the Dean's list until he got to 4th Grade. Then we started having problems with him and school. His teacher wanted me to have him put on medication, I told her no way. After sitting with him and talking to

Reply to BUSH WINS! in Politics JoeUser Forums

I'm gonna put myself out on a limb here and say this. I'm sorry Bush won, but I really do hope that he will do a much better job for the next four years, for all of our sakes. Let's face it, if it wasn't for the morality issues on some of the ballots in the electoral states, he wouldn't have won at all. Plus some people say this is really a 50/50 thing, and I agree. No matter how you look at it, yes, he won, but he has a lot of things to fix. We c

The Freedom to Vote in Politics JoeUser Forums

Finally, it's November 2nd. I got up earlier so that I could make a headstart and go to the Polls before going in to work. Of course there was a long line, thankfully I only had to wait an hour and fifteen minutes. I've voted before in past Presidential elections. At the time I was in another state, there were no long lines then. There also was not such manic int

Reply to Emotional Scars in Dating JoeUser Forums

I've never had my heart broken over true love, so I guess I'm not the one to give advice on this. Having been married for 12 years, and with my first love still, my husband, a total of 19 years, love is many things. I won't begin to go into it but as the others say, I think you should go for it. Little Whip covers it really well, "the accumulation of emotional scar tissue is inevitable. A certain amount of jadedness isnt all that

Reply to Custom LASIK experiences in Surgery JoeUser Forums

Wow, Brad, thanks for the details on your surgery. I'm glad that you're healing well. I have been thinking about going to my optician to discuss this with him. My main reason is because of driving, my glasses are a pain and can be difficult for night driving. One eye is pretty bad, has been since childhood and I use glasses to help me read, etc. The "good" eye has been doing both jobs all these years. I keep changing my prescription and am tired o

Never Choke in the South in Humor JoeUser Forums

This one had me rolling too... Two hillbillies walk into a bar. While having a shot of whiskey, they talk about their moonshine operation. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says "

Reply to Run-Away bloggers in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Bluedev, I meant to respond yesterday but got side-tracked, so that does happen too. Sometimes, as it has happened to me here, I'll respond to an article of interest, go back to check to see if there are anymore comments or if the writer responded and it'snot there! Then I sit and I look for it and can't find it. Most of the time I blog at work when I'm not busy and at during lunch so I leave the JU website on so that I can refer to it. But it is

Reply to What is happening in our back yard? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Texas , thanks, I agree, there are two sides to this. And yes, as I do, you, monitor, change the channel etc. Stern can be really gross at times, and I know this because sometimes I watch his program (usually while channel surfing, if there is someone, on and I'm wondering they had the guts to show up knowing what Howard is like. So I watch for a bit to see the antics until I get really tired of it and ta daaaa, change the channel. <

What is happening in our back yard? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Something is bothering me enough for me to ask everyone or anyone if they see this too? What's going on with these groups, mostly "religious" ones that are crying "wolf" on the entertainment, television world? Some things are just not fit to be on TV I'll admit, but to actually want to stop freedom of speech and freedom of expression, isn't that our right as citizen

Reply to How would you respond? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Having previously lived in a very large metropolitan city for a number of years, your response was perfect. You want to get the "odd" people out of your face very quickly. You acknowledge their presence just enough for them not to continue whatever pursuit they had in mind and then ignore them. So, you giving the guy the bottle and telling him to have it was good. That means he left you alone and if he had continue talking, monosyllable r

Happy Birthday Mom! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Today would have been my mom's 64th birthday. I had planned a day of doing the things she enjoyed. First, taking the day off just to spend time with her. Preparing a lovely breakfast for her to enjoy. Going to the hair salon to have her pampered a bit. Then off to the mall we would have gone, cause she loved to window shop and letting her choose her bi

Yes it will pass and dads are always in denial! My daughter is now 15 and we went through that stage with her. Although she stills locks her door to keep the younger siblings at bay, so go figure, lol! Now we're dealing with too much time on the phone, time spent with friends or want to spend with friends. The how do I look or do you think I'm fat questions. And monitoring the use of the computer when she's on the internet to make sure she doesnt'

Reply to Dear God Please Forgive Me.... in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

You handled it with great dexterity and aplomb! Kids are as adorable as they are terrible at times. And we still love them as our parents loved us. My little squealer had me cleaning up the mess at 1:00am this morning, after the tug-of-war to get her to bed. And what a mess it was. To top it off I had to grab buckets to catch leaks coming in from my kitchen ceiling - lol! Oh the joys of being a parent and family life. I love it but there are tim

Mmmm, I've thought about it actually. I love to write and have been mulling a story around in my mind for the past couple of months. My teenage daughter also loves to write. I'll check out the website. Thanks for the heads up. But you know, that six page a day is gonna be a challenge. It's something to do if one really wants to. It will be fun trying!

Reply to No respect in Misc JoeUser Forums

As a full-time mom and full-time worker away from home at a "9-5" I have to stand up for us moms who are dedicated moms and only want to have it all for the betterment of our family. We want to be able to afford to feed and clothe our children and meet their needs and also in the process hopefully chop out a little time for ourselves and our mate. Does that mean we are bad parents, no. So, when speaking in general like that: "Gone
