dear chagrined consumer:.
i was thinking yesterday about the downsizing of packaging in food products (honest, sankes, i was!).
yes, particularly ice cream and my liquid laundry detergent.. but were you aware of false bottoms?
Initially I thought this was another gay thread
Anyway, No wonder I see so many people doing their grocery shopping at Sams and other similar places where they can buy in bulk since everything is coming in smaller packages. I have noticed that laundry detergent is even more concentrated and a lot of time time I dont know how much to add since sometimes the measuring line is hard to see, lol

I read Helter Skelter about 6 years ago thinking after reading about the Mason case and seeing both movies. I remember watching the debut of the 2 part movie back in 1976 when I was just a kid and how scary it was. However everything I knew about the case paled in comparison with the details of the book that isn't mentioned much; like the knives used in the killings were sharpened on both sides and how deep the stab wounds were and some of the other unsolved murders at the time that could have been linked to "the family".

Like Doris Tate (Sharon's mother) said society has been kind to Ms. Atkins by sparing her life (she was originally given the death penalty and should already be dead) which is a lot more consideration than she gave to Sharon Tate and her unborn child and others she was involved in killing. She never came out and apologized all these years to the victim's family and she lied over the years about what actually happened and that doesn't sound like a very remorseful person. The only way she should be let out of prison is if she is carried out in a pine box.
Read Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi. Both movie adaptions didn't cover a lot of the other details that the book did.

greetings, ironers hard-pressed,.
i'm pressing a white linen jacket in preparation for a wedding this weekend.
it got me to thinking about a topic little (if ever) discussed in polite society, such as yours.. do you do drip-dry?.
I hang my clothes on the racks and use the portable steamer since I do not have a dryer in my apartment; using both I now wear rayon, sturdy cotton clothes that sometimes get deep wrinkles and other non-permanent press and it takes no time to get the wrinkles. I will even make creases in pants; saves time and money and space since I dont have to set up the ironing board

no matter how much you want to avoid it...crying is necessary sometimes.
for me, i need help with it....too many distractions in my life.
i almost have to plan crying....so for me music aides in releasing emotion, helps me just be me for an interval of time.
This one brings tears to my eyes, relative now as it was when it came out since there are loved ones in Iraq. I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues by Elton John
ok, i was going to ask whether christians have higher morals, but i thought that other religions have the same kind of morals too.. when i look at those who sincerely follow their religion, i think that they do have a higher morality than those who do not follow some sort of scriptural guidelines.. this is not to say that the religious have a monopoly on morality, or to say that some religious people are not hypocritical in doing what they say, rather than what they do.
but as a whole it seems to me that someone with a religious upbringing has higher standards than someone without.. now some would say that higher standards or lower standards are defined by society, so therefore by whose definition do they have higher morals.
this would be a fair assumption.
Horseshit. Religious people only APPEAR to have higher morals; it's mostly about appearance when it comes to religion. How many times have you heard of holy people who are in church every time the doors are open, are pillars of a community, appear blameless and then later exposed in some sort of immoral scandal.

If you elevate Kissinger to the point that he has an Administration (instead of President Nixon)
You dont have to be president to have an "administration". Perhaps maybe I should have said "staff". And no, I am not "elevating him", however he has played a dominant role in foreign policy in the 70s and he did, and probably still does, have a staff of people working for him. He is among the elite of people even though you dont hear him in the media like you do a lot of other people. I didn't say that he "headed the cabal", you are putting words in my mouth. I only mention him because he is involved.

when i read that the ford f-150 is the best selling vehicle in america i wrongly assumed that it was just the best selling truck.
but no, it has been the best selling vehicle for the last 17 years!
if that is the best selling you can be sure that there are plenty of similar models from different manufacturers being bought as well.. they are huge, fuel-inefficient things and i seriously doubt that even 90% of the people who buy them really need them.
I have always had a conservative view regarding transportation and never had a gas guzzler like an SUV or pickup. I drive a 1996 Nissan Sentra I have had since 1998 and I think the younger generation of people are driving more fuel efficient vehicles. There are still the older generation of folks who drive the gas guzzling vehicles and big cars. I live in an apartment complex which has a lot of retirees and senior citizens and you will not catch many in a small car - they feel safer driving cars the size of army tanks, lol.

Who Are You:
My dad was never a JW. He retired from the Air Force almost 32 years ago. Since then before permanently retired he worked in Thialand, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey for Lockheed Martin, Transasia, Mobile, etc. He has worked for and with people who had worked in Henry Kissinger's administration years ago. This shit isn't made up. There is a goal of a one world government being implemented slowly and by stealth. He is very educated, world traveled and very well read and knows what he is talking about. There is too much evidence to debunk. Do some of your own research or better yet just wait a few more years and I will dig this thread back up to prove to you this is not a bunch of nonsense and that is all I have to say on this thread.

06/01/2008 - every significant internet provider around the globe is currently in talks with access and content providers to transform the internet into a television-like medium: no more freedom, you pay for a small commercial package of sites you can visit and you'll have to pay for seperate subscriptions for every site that's not in the package.
what can we do?internet providers have realized that the only way to not lose massive amounts of customers over this is to make sure there are no alternatives, that's why all major internet providers are currently making agreements and planning to switch simultaneously somewhere in the year 2012. this is currently all going on under very strict nda's (non-disclosure agreements) because the last thing they want is the masses speaking out against it.
