Carlene: I am going to tell you a story which I see as analogous, but I would assume other members (and maybe you) will not. A women in my family called her cousin up and said that she was getting married and he was invited (of course), but he could not bring either his Black wife, nor their bi-racial child (though other family members' children of the same age were invited). I guess the "I am the Bride, it's My Day" motto has to know some limits. The white man, his Black wife and their child went to the movies instead of the wedding. I wonder how often that happens and I also wonder how often it happens to Gay couples, when the family member of a Gay couple is invited but not the partner of the family member.

Should I be insulted?

Weddings are a waste of time and money. The money that would be spent on the wedding should be used to buy a house for the newly-wed couple (or at least a down payment).

A fellow Brooklynite was appalled when I told him I was moving to Florida. He told me "those people are stupid down there", and he even told me that there is a name for them; "Floridiots".:violin: Well, he has been proven right. :croc: But, 90% of the people I have met in Florida come from "Up North", Cuba or Mexico. :frusty:

wavydaby & Carlene: I just wanted to get your (respective) Goats with my North/South remark.

But Carlene does not have to supply the bridesmaid that they want. Carlene should stick to her guns and stay home along with the rst of the people who live with her.

When people quote Ann Coulter and agree that members of congress and civilians should be tried, convicted and sentenced as traitors for saying BuSh was wrong, then there is a problem. No. I do not want to take away Ann Coulter's free speech, but there needs to be someone in the world who can arbitrate facts. Opinions can never be arbitrated, but facts can. I have read Ann Coulter's books and while I disagree with her, I can only make a case because I know her opinions have little chance of being on the money when she bases them on "facts" that are actually lies. If a reader thought that the "facts" she presented in her book were true, I could see that reader agreeing with her, but if that same reader knew the "facts" to be false and not facts, in fact, then I doubt the reader would go along with the opinions she reaches. I have seen her on TV debate shows. She will state #1. Coulter Fact A #2. Coulter Fact B #3. Based on Coulter Facts A&B, Conclusion C Then one of the non-conservative guests will say, "Wait a minute, fact A never happened" and give details, dates, times, actual facts. Ms. Coulter will respond, "well, it almost did" and then another non-conservative guests will say, "Wait a minute, fact B never happened" and give details, dates, times, actual facts. Ms. Coulter will respond, "well, but..." So how can Conclusion C based on lies A&B, be supported? It can't. But an Ann Coulter book reader never hears the non-conservatives refuting her "facts" while reading. Even intelligent conservatives like George Will have uncomplimentary things to say about Ann Coulter. Only the lunatic fringe would want people who explain why they voted against the members of congress (who support the BuSh administration) in jail for treason and only the lunatic fringe would want the members of congress who do not support the BuSh administration in jail for treason (IMHO).

I don't care who's wedding it is!! It is your responsibility to teach the grand-daughter that you are raising lessons about fairness and selfishness. You are doing the best you can in this "me first, me only" world. You have my support. I hope that doesn't change your mind.

There is not much to worry about. The biggest problem I had was getting in and out of bed, and rolling over while in bed. A few days sleeping in my recliner and things were A-Ok after that. I was walking for 30 minutes within 3 or 4 days of surgery and gradually increased my walking duration steadily after that. Best suggestion: Exercise as much as possible pre-op. The better shape your body is in in before the operation, the quicker you will feel better afterward. It is not too late to start exercising. It never is.

Even with my computer and Google.:faint:

A lot of questions that I could not answer.:help:

If the victim didn't have his "15 minutes of fame" while alive, they are giving him "5 minutes" posthumously.

And then there is the bastion of free press, the Washington Times owned by Sun Myung Moon. Most Americans would be appalled to know that the conservative revolution has been financed by the M&M boys; "Murdoch & Moon". Worse than being financed, the news has been manipulated by the M&M boys; "Murdoch & Moon". So much of our news comes from media companies owned and content controlled by rich conservatives, while the claim is that the news is biased to "the Left". Between the FOX Network, Clear-Channel Radio Network and the print empires of M&M and the TV networks owned by conservative corporations, probably 90% of all news passes through these media outlets before reaching the public. I will not venture a guess as to how much of that news is manipulated for the benefit of the political leanings of the owners of those media outlets. You can make your own guess.

Tina is going to kill me for staying up so late. I have an MRI on my brain tomorrow morning at 8am. Fighting the school buses at that time means I will have to leave about 7:15 to make it on time. I am not worried. I am sure they won't find anything.

Good Night!!:faint:

They make more money while sleeping that we make while awake. And I mean sleeping.

Arnold has been softening as of late. It could be that Maria Shriver is indoctrinating him into humanity.

And Randy Macho-Man Savage for Secretary of State?

Its called sending up a trial balloon. :usa2: If the response is good, you stick with the remark. If the reponse is negative, you claim that you were only kidding.:violin:

I wonder how much the chemicals they put into animal feed and animals, and the chemicals they use on fruits and vegetables has to do with it.

You may be putting the cart before the horse. If you have decided where to want to go on your vacation, you will probably find that there are only 2 or 3 choices of airlines that fly between where you live and where you want to vacation. I hope you are not going to decide where you will go for your vacation based on the which airline you heard has the best seating for big people.

In the North it is, but in the South it is "Give up the Goat".

Are you trying to get his Goat?:amen:

Isn't that a repeat, where they try to show that the dead sea scrolls prophesized everything from 911 to Adolph Hitler?

Laurend for President in 2020. Unless we can change the constitution to lower the minimum age.
