[quote]Just don't have any missing dvd's or be late with your books!lol![/quote] That's one great thing about my library. They just insituted a system that emails reminders of your due dates. That has helped me tremendously. That two weeks goes faster than you realize. Plus I can renew them at home on my computer so the fines have gone down considerably. Not that they were ever a huge amount but it doesn't take long for 15 cents a day to add up if you check

[quote](but then...I'm already hung! lol... )[/quote] snark - lolz Okay back on topic. I still feel a sense of community where I live. I think we tend to idealize the "good ol' days" when honestly things weren't all sunshine and roses back then either. I think in general Americans are a friendly, caring bunch. Though I will admit that putting them in a car on the highway brings out the worst in a lot of people. As far as the political, yes I f

I still go to the library. It's one of my favorite things to do. My boys like to go though. There are still some fun things that don't plug in.

Reply to Friday Five in Blog Communities Stardock Forums

1. What is your greatest fear? Probably being alone though I'm also afraid of heights, bridges and crowds make me uncomfortable. 2. What is the most evil thing anyone could ever do? I think torture is worse than murder at least in the abstract. I know I have seen movies where it would have been a compassionate act to be killed rather than continue to be tortured. 3. Is there anything you would refuse to do in any circumstances?&nbs

Face Painting Do's and Don'ts in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

It's that time of year. The time when everyone becomes a face painter whether it's for Halloween or the big game. I have been face painting for almost a year now and wanted to share a few health and safety tips for those who may be face painting for the first time this year. Do use FDA compliant face paints. Face paints are not actually paints but makeup, cosmetics. My brand is Snazaroo

Fun Stuff to do in October in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I love this month. In Texas, it's finally cool enough to enjoy an entire day outside. Yay! So some fun ideas of things to do in October. 1. Go to a pumpkin patch. It's so much more fun to pick your own pumpkin. http://www.pickyourown.org/ Then you can take it home and carve it. No cheating - getting the stencils, being creative is half the fun. You have to do your own thing. You know w

Reply to The lesser of two evils?!? in Politics Stardock Forums

I'm so glad to see you on JU. Blogger is fine. I have my artsy blog there but it doesn't have the community of JU. Many times I feel like I'm just talking to myself at blogger. Oh and about your article. I agree. I get tired of the simple-minded philosophy that everyone in my party = good, everyone in the other other party = bad. I would love to have a candidate that I could support whole heartedly without reservation. I don't even know i

Reply to Am I still the only granola chewing hippie? in Democrat Stardock Forums

I was a Hillary supporter that can't and won't support Obama. I am going to vote for McCain this election. Even though I hold some of the liberal views of Democrats, I don't consider myself a Dem. anymore. I am now registered independent. I had said for a long time that McCain was one Republican that I could stomache voting for.

Thanks Karma. We got it figured out last night. My computer screen died and I got a hand me down that's quite ghetto. It doesn't show the whole screen without some major manipulation. It isn't an issue most of the time but when you can't see the continue button - it is an issue - lol.

Reply to My take on the debate and candidates in Politics Stardock Forums

Well I can't really say because I fell asleep and only caught the very beginning of the debate. My semi-lucid impression is that it annoyed me when Obama called McCain - John. I don't know why - it just did.
