If Obama had a son..

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/philly-teens-murdered-married-dad-failed-robbery-cops-article-1.2156313.

part of the story..."two 15-year-old philadelphia boys face murder charges for shooting a man while he walked his dog, firing the final round as he pleaded for his life, authorities said.. the cold-hearted teens and a 14-year-old boy targeted 51-year-old james stuhlman for a robbery after they tired of playing basketball, police captain james clark told reporters.. at one point, he did plead for his life, clark said thursday at a news conference.

he said, please dont shoot me, please dont shoot me, and they shot still shot him one more time.. cops busted brandon smith on murder charges, but the hunt is on for the alleged triggerman, tyfine hamilton.. hes considered armed and extremely dangerous, clark said.".

So, what's your point? You think that if President Obama had a son, the son would be a ruthless killer? What does this story have to do with Obama?

hey all,.

i'm curious about the times and places we all come and check in on this great forum.. is it after a long day at work while having a drink, or during the work day on your mobile tablets, or quickly in-between family evenings etc...?.

do most "hide" their tracks when using the family computer, perhaps using "private browsing"?.

Oh, along about midnight or so -- in the middle of the night.

i've decided to graduate at the end of this year (2015).

i need 69 credit points to graduate successfully at my university, and i already have about 80. i also have to write a capstone essay (of 5000 words) on a ancient history topic.

in addition, i'm doing two other 5000 word research essays this year.

Hortensia

What a lot of hard work -- but you seem to really enjoy research and study. I've enjoyed your history threads -- some interesting stuff I might not have read about otherwise.

Constructive hobbies

by zeb in

hm have a hobby?

im not asking what.. hm have taken up a constructive hobby since leaving?.

Hortensia

Most of my hobbies are fiber-related. I knit a lot, just started learning to spin with a drop spindle. Learning crochet for just one project, mostly I don't like crochet. I've designed some patterns and want to do more of that.

I learned html and css for the fun of it, did some websites for people. That's interesting to do although it changes all the time and there is much more to learn.

I like cooking, canning, foraging locally, gardening.

Life is too short for all the interesting stuff there is to do and learn.
