A new user has graced us, and already called Gideon and Stevendedalus Neocons!  Guess he likes to shoot first and read second. He should be fun to watch.  Perhaps a civil version of Dabe?  LOL

Locamama recently wrote an article asking asking several questions about why people blog.  http://locamama.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=95055   It is a very revealing article both to others, and to those who took the time to answer the questions.  But one of the question generated a lot of questions itself, and not many answers. Do you consider yourself to be in with the in crowd on JU? So what is the "in Crowd" of JU?  I guess we could easily put Brad, Karmagir...

In the last few days, I have been privileged to a lot of great Christmas stories!  As have all of you!  read them! But perhaps in our rush for Christmas we forget the season and the meaning.  Some of us do. And yes, I am guilty!  not any longer! for I read a reply by one who reminded me of my roots.  And the lack of every thing!  And I read a blog by one that reminded me of secret Santas and how I love to be one!  And I read another that reminded me of ho...

I really dont feel it right now, but I am not going to spoil it for anyone!  And I do so wish you one!  Or a Happy Chunaka! Have a great one!  To all the loving people! Always.

Ziggystyles made a comment on a thread that since he and another blogger use the same IP address, and since that blogger is blacklisted on some threads, he is as well.  Is the blacklist based upon IP address or JU User name?  I blog from a couple of IP addresses and was just wondering about that (when I am blacklisted, I dont check from both places). Or maybe Danny can answer this one too!

I cant believe it!  But my oldest and I just got through a discussion.  (heated at times, but not on my end).  I told him that Suicidal people were not selfish, just whacked!  And he argued the point with me! I finally convinced him that, from a normal point of view, yes they are selfish, but to themselves in the act, they are not! Strike one. Then we argued about wackos and if they were responsible for their actions! (you know, Hinkley et al).  And then if reta...

As a teenager, I had one of the best life's one can imagine.  I was a Junior and Senior living in Germany!  Yes, I was a brat!  Since I was still a student, I had very little responsibilities (get good grades! I did), and a whole lot of freedom!  And a decent job to take advantage of that freedom! I had my first beer, legally, at 16.  I threw a graduation party where I served hard liquor (at 17) legally!  I could travel virtually anywhere in Europe, by boarding a...

That appears to be what caused the death of 7 innocent people in the last week in Richmond.  And the GD Fricking Garb Sucking Frivel Eating Joke sucking jackasses (this is going in Forums, so sorry for the muffling) just wanted to rob them!  And they are from Philly! (long story there, but Richmond and Philly have a long sister City relationship). A robbery!  You kill 7 people for a robbery? What the hell are you!  What a bunch of retarded ignorant stupid morons!  You...

What took us weeks to put up (we put up a little each weekend since thanksgiving up to December 17), took me the better part of a day to take down.  One day!  I hate taking them down! Christmas (the non-PC, unsanitized banned in some parts, hated in other parts) is a special time of year.  While it is meant to celebrate the Birth of Christ, most knowledgeable people realize it is not his birthday, but it is time to celebrate his message. - Peace on Earth Goodwill to All Ma...

This is actually serious.  Kudos to Alison Watkins for bringing it to the forefront.  She said her students found her "living space".  Or whatever.  Inbloom wrote the original article: http://inbloom.joeuser.com/articleComments.asp?AID=98267 This has nothing to do with Inbloom or Alison, both of whom I respect.  This has to do with the chairman of the Richmond School Board, and his posting!  Steven Johnson decided to have some fun.  He is gay, and single, ...

Yes, My son.  I took him to see Hostel,  and it was disgusting.  But what did he see?  He saw the artistic direction, and the actors as they played out the sadistic movie.  He saw art, I saw just garbage! But that is who he is.  I go to a movie to see a show.  He goes to it to critique it.  He is my son and I do love him.  And I hope he really does take hollywood by storm!  He is that good! But what do you see?  You see a part of me.&n...

With total attributes to Chaos Manager, I would like to add my own take.  His was great!  And indeed I cannot surpass him.  But I want to add my own. My Blessings! God how they are great.  I, like him have 4 blessings.  2 Girls and 2 Boys.  And proud?  Every one is as good or better than I! And each one a different person!  With their own interests! I am a computer nerd.  I love them and sink into their innards with glee!  None of my chi...

I posted one, not in the forums, and it was.  I posted one in the forums and it was?  No real harm.  And the forums are over 12 hours out of date. I guess they are just whacky. T-Man is on vacation!
