Gracey

They're from Arkansas - the mom is early 40's. I cannot even imagine but to each his own. They mind their parents and seem to be good kids. <shrug>

I have friends coming in from NY this weekend. Y'all have fun!

I won't lie; liquids SUCK but it'll be sooooo worth it!

Y'all really are eeeee-vil. Some of us are on mushies, dangit!!!

Up yonder, they REALLY do!!! Esp just north of Clarksvul!

Just pls keep in mind not to lump Plain and me as similar southerners!!! We're clearly diametrically opposed. OMG - did Patty really call us pigs? How rude! Again, I thought we were all created in God's image? Ergo by calling us pigs is she not calling Him a pig? That's just WRONG...like cussing in church. Big no-no.

I hate to admit it but I'm not following. This is sarcasm, right and not some slam on my politics??? NIGHTMARES!!! Thanks!!! Since I'm either -10 lbs or 16-17 under, I gotta be happy with what I can!!! I saw a gf today for the first time since surgery and she said she can tell I've lost in my face. ROFL ROFL ROFL!!!!!!! :thumbup: Thankees! OMG come here and attack my closets, pleeeeease!!! I'm so sorry; I hope you're better now!CONGRATS EBONY AND HANG IN THERE, FROGSTER!

LJM - ya might wanna straighten that halo!

GASP!!!!! Don't speak of these crazy thoughts!

Excuse you - I oftentimes drop my g's on here. So I had one damn slip up. Sue me! But ahem, I have heard the Texarkana accent so I'm sure my southern is much more charming. <snap> I actually had a compliment last week. A friend of mine from one of the islands said I didn't have a thick southern accent. I've always tried not to have too thick an accent since Yankees (you know who you are) think they are betta b/c they are not southern.

ROFL - bite me!!!!!!! You've been on a roll tonight, Lu!

OK honestly.....took me very little time to be annoyed/angered. Took me that long to get so impatient that I had to post!!!!!! Beth - it had to do with your continual statement of "marriage is not a right." As I said above, there are rights that come to 2 people that are married. I will defer to Ready's very thorough earlier posts about what those rights are. (You rock, RSG!) NAMBLA has to do with men + children; we continually mention the rights of two consenting ADULTS (humans).

OMG I am so glad I hadn't taken a drink of my juice before reading that. I absolutely would've spewed it on my screen! Shit that was funny! I fancy myself rather techie but wtf is Susan talking about!?!?!?! :yesnod: My first inclination is to say "do it" if Plain says not to but since I have no idea what the norris android is, I have no vote! Join the club. I finally unchecked him, rat bastard that he is! That and he KEPT calling me names which is just rude! Ergo, he is on the curb with my stalker. That's the only thing I know that FIFO stands for. It's a business term. There's also LIFO = last in first out. Just put myself to sleep. My first NSV - my biggest pair of pants are big. Woohoo!

Ohhmmmmm, patty said pussy...footing. I'm Christian but I believe in a loving God. I can't believe he would make anyone gay and not love them also. Aren't we ALL made in His image? Um and we stole these United States from the Native Americans. The notion that this country can only be Christian and your specific translation of Christianity is ridiculously naive. The boat has long since sailed on this issue considering all of the cornucopia of nationalities and religions represented in the U.S.

Nancy - right there you are exhibiting the exact same kind of stereotyping that others are about gays. I am a life-long southerner raised by parents that are more accepting than most IN THIS COUNTRY. You are no more accepting than I simply b/c of the area of the country you live in. I have an MBA and have worked for numerous Fortune 100 countries and I now work for a very respected organization. I'm sure your state has some old, ridiculous laws. Laura just happened to know of one in her state. Anyway - I'm only partially through this thread but am so annoyed. Those that act like marriage is "holy" seem to be ok with heteros in the U.S. having a 55%(?) divorce rate. Why don't you all jump on huge soapboxes about how easy it is to get a divorce or how immoral they are?!? WHY does anyone care what other consenting adults do? I'm straight and am VERY offended by the insertion of words like "7 yo girl" and "adult goats". Are you kidding me??? That's beyond apples/oranges; that's apples/toads. Two women or two men wanting to marry to have legal rights [Beth] that come with the word marriage is not remotely the same as being a pedophile. Why will no one speak to the question of how gays marrying affects their specific hetero marriage (but again I'm only partially through the thread)? Patty - JUDGE NOT LEST YOU BE JUDGED. Period.

Again....I was absolutely kidding. I'm snorting along; bleeeeee me.

Very cool!

That's awesome!

Seriously! The pills are beyond disgusting!!! I've gotten down 2 since surgery.

Catholic light - Exactly!!! All the fun, half the guilt! LMJ - she's going too; I just missed her quote!!!

So I went to the grocery store today and they had ONE cheesecake pudding mix - bitter!!!

I was raised Episcopalian so I believe that Christmas should begin on Dec 25 and last the 12 days of Cmas until Jan 5. But alas, no one else thinks that. My aunt takes down her tree Dec 26. Oy! Ohhhhhhmmmmmm, y'all are goin' ta hell!!! Kidding.

Have you also read about the possibility of Diet Coke actually making folks eat more? I'd been addicted to Diet Coke since 1989. Eek!!! Blame the DC and my anti-depressants certainly not my frequent hand to mouth activity!!!
