I remember watching an old episode of the Ed Sullivan show when I was little. Jose Feliciano was playing "The Flight Of The Bumblebee". Half way through he dropped his pick. He didn't stop. He played through to the end, shredding his fingers on the strings and spraying blood on the guitar. I was impressed.

For all of you who say America sucks.... I want you to go down to your closest immigration office and witness a citizenship ceremony. I watched yesterday all day long as people from all over the world were sworn in as citizens 100 at a time every hour on the hour. I was there for 7 hours, so I saw roughly 700 people become citizens, including my wife. I talked with a lot of those people, and it didn't matter where they were from, they all made one thing is clear: America is, in fact, the greatest country in the world.
So many of us don't know how lucky we are to be born here in America. We take it for granted. The people I saw yesterday know better. And I have a new-found appreciation for my American citizenship.

Is it better to stay married one time or have been married couple of times?
by asilentone ini know it is a hard question, i would like to know your thoughts.

I think that it's nice to find the right one the first time and never leave them. But, it doesn't always work that way. It's better to be married a few times and find the right one than stay married to the wrong one for the rest of your life.

Promiscuous or sexually free?
by brunnhilde inso i'm 37 and i've only been with one man, my ex-husband, in my entire life.
i just started a new relationship with a wonderful man but i'm fighting the preprogramming that comes from being a dub for 35 years.
how have other people overcome the inhibitions and issues that come from the ridiculously rigid sexual mindset of the wtbs?

If you have enough "guts" and lack of "inhibition" to get naked and have sex in the first place, then why the hang-up? Just do what comes naturally and keep an open mind. Don't let imaginary restrictions on what's "acceptable" or "proper" in the bedroom keep you from enjoying sex to its fullest potential. Whatever two people want to do with, for or to each other is acceptable - for that couple. And it ain't nobody else's business! So get busy!

How's it like... living in the South?
by Preston inhere in lovely phoenix, az there's a part of me that's tired of phoenix's one redemable feature (reasonable housing prices) and dismiss the cacti, hot temps, lackluster football teams, golfing culture and predominance of fake people with orange tans and..... ... live in a nice bungalow on a country road, havin' a truck with a gun rack, a (rainbow) confederate flag, cranking up some nice soothing wanda jackson, grow myself a big booshy moustache, wear a denim vest, get myself a bassett hound and sit on a front porch in my rocking chair while whispering to myself "it's good to own land.".
for those of you that live in the deep south... or just the regular south.... how's it treating you?
i may consider a change in living arrangements.. - preston.

Hmmmm..... I'm not aware of too many "bungalows" lining the country roads around here, but if you were to find one, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to piss off the local folk by flying a rainbow confederate flag.
But it's ok. You can live in the south and not have a confederate flag. Or a gun rack. Or a dog. Or even live on a country road. Most of us don't live out in the country or own a confederate flag. I'm sure that most of us don't even think about having sex with our cousins. Housing is very affordable here. You can have anything from a multi-million dollar estate all the way down to a single-wide trailer out in a field somewhere.
It's still pretty hot here, though. I nearly fried myself to death yesterday working up in the attic. It's almost like Arizona, without the cacti. We even have more than enough illegal Mexicans to make you feel like you're in AZ. C'mon down to Georgia and have a ball.

Grass anyone?
by Quirky1 inthe title may have lured you here but since it is summertime i am just curious how many people here have yards they have to take care of?
if so, how big of a yard do you have?
what do you use to mow your yard?

Dorktacular
I had a nice yard when I bought my house. The drought has screwed up my yard bigtime. Sadly, my screwed up yard is still the nicest in the neighborhood. The other yards went to hell a looooong time ago.

Another trip down memory lane
by lost_light06 inthe boe in my childhood congregation was probably the nicest and most sincere group of elders i have ever come across, at least the boe i grew up with.
i still hold each of them in high regard, they were truly very kind and caring people.
however, apparently before i was born (pre 79) and when i was a small child there was quite a bit of trouble in that cong.

Wow. I remember how "evil" the apostates were supposed to be. My father always said to stay away from them and avoid them because they were evil. I asked my dad why we went out in service to talk to evil people..... I never got an anwer to that one.

@@ Car Headliner Sag Question @@
by FlyingHighNow inhas anyone got advice on what to do when your car headliner starts to lose its adhesive and then begins sagging?
my car is eleven years old and it sags on either side and is now only adering down the middle.
i dont have money to repair it like it should be.

Dorktacular
You can try gluing it back up, but that doesn't work good. The best thing is to find an auto interior person who can replace the liner. Usually costs about $200.00.

Men: what do you want us women to know to understand you better?
by LouBelle inus women have always told you what we want, how to be treated, now it's your turn.
what do men want us to know about you?

Women, learn to be quiet and take in the moment. Seriously. There is such a thing as a "comfortable silence". When a guy stands there looking at the sunset and you're there with him, there's a reason why he's silent. The moment speaks for itself. If you start gabbing about how beautiful it is or start asking him questions about what he's thinking, the moment is lost. Forever. Learn to observe what he observes. We're not being rude, we're trying to share our experience with you, just you, in real time. If you went to the Louvre, and somebody went through and put yellow sticky notes all over the paintings and sculptures describing them in excruciating detail, all you would see is a loud, yellow obstruction covering the beauty of the art, even though the person leaving the yellow stickys thought they were being helpful by pointing out things with loud yellow stickys.
My wife and I have been married for just 3 1/2 years. We dated a couple of years before we got married. My favorite holiday is 4th of July. Why? Not only because I love America, but because for me it is the perfect holiday. There's no stress, no presents or cards to stress about, just grilled meat, beer and fireworks. I love fireworks. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
I have yet to "enjoy" a fireworks display with my wife. Why? She insists on photographing or videotaping every fireworks show we've ever gone to see. Instead of her watching with me, she's somewhere off to the side with a camera. It's lonely in a bizzarre way. I begged her this year to leave the damned camera home so we can actually enjoy the moment. She just doesn't get it. She says she takes the pictures to remember the moment, but really there is no moment to remember. We never look at the pictures or the video. We never say "Hey, remember that great time we had that 4th of July?" The real moment is always sacrificed to the gods of posterity, and the memory is forever obscured by a loud yellow sticky note. Just once I want to have her by my side, put my arm around her and just watch. That would be something to remember.
