gawd, do i need some coffee!
my head is swimming with dizzyness of ... dunno what, i've slept a normal amount of time, dunno why i'm so tired [8.43am here] ..... coffee, coffee, coffee .... ohhh, what i wouldn't give for a tall cappucino [how the heck do you spell that] from starbucks.
what i wouldn't give if mr.starbucks would open a starbucks on this side of the world..... excuse the fluffyness of this topic, my mind isn't up for anything more substantial
Viv,
Coffee is never to be considered "fluff". The mere mention of the beverage brings a smile to my face. The aroma from a freshly ground handfull of beans is heaven. I must admit I probably indulge my passion for coffe too much.
Starbucks recently opened a shop near home and I have become somewhat of a regular. In fact I have an interview there this morning with a newspaper reporter. I'm looking forwadr more to the tall steaming cup of coffee than the interview.
I raise my cup to you, and to all who truly love their coffee.

what is it that really irritates you ,i mean the most annoying ,thing that when you see it or hear it you just clench your teeth,we all have them so let's hear yours.mine is religious boasting.there is this home builder that advertises on tv and says his crap then says we are a christien company.oh yes , because he said that i would trust him more then anyone else,he must have higher standards.
(ya right).or those people who advertise with bumper stickers of their religion,and yes the freaking door bell ringers trying to push their crap on me.isn't it what you feel inside?why advertise to everyone?does it make you feel more important or more religious?because of the attempt to show me that you have faith does not make me feel i could trust you.
this is just one of my irritants and hope not do offend,everyone has the right.
here is a thougth.
if this peterson yutz is found guilty of murdering his wife and child, should the gal he was cheating with take some of the blame?
if it comes up that lacey was killed because she found out about the affair, doesn't that implicate the other woman?
Seem like you are all of like mind on this matter.
If she was unaware of his marital status, I would have to agree with you all. Perhaps he is the "typical" male, and was lying to her, then she would be as far as I see another victim.
If not , and she did know he was married, I personaly feel that the willful destruction of a family is not far from murder. I understand that not all marriages work out but people should at least have the decency to end their relationship legaly before starting another. Right is right.
Out of touch?? Old fashioned?? Damn straight!! We as a society need to develope a friggin sense of honor and decency. We have lowered the bar of personal values over the years to accomodate the weak of character.
No one takes responsibility for their actions anymore. It is so sad that we can find an excuse to to accomodate any type of bad behavior.
I'm no saint by any stretch of the imagination, but I will at least call a spade a spade.
Peterson needs to pay for what he did, although I'm sure some one will find a way to defend his actions, be they murder or infidelity.

a couple of my favorites are taxi and now the soprano's.
many jw's can lie and feel that they are only using "theocratic stratergy".
some people are extremely above board and any thought of lying would not ever be considered.
some feel that they are very honest but would still cheat on taxes if they could get away with it.
To a fault I'm afraid. Right is right.
Allow me to explain. Back in 1992 I was working for a lawn service cutting the grass accros from a bank that had been robbed a day earlier. I found a bank bag with $50000.00 in it. We wer flat on our asses broke and living on a mere $240.00 a week.
I returned the money. I was interviewed by the FBI for over an hour to convince them that I had not stolen it. I was interviewed by the local TV station, and I felt pretty good about myself. The next day I began to develope severe flu like symptoms. I was laid up for a week. My wife called the bank to see if there was anything in the dye pack that might have caused my condition and was dismissed without any explanation. She had to call the police department to get the answer. It seems that the dye pack also has tear gas in it and I along with three local cops was having an alergic reaction to it. Suffice it to say I never even got a #^@& you very much from the bank. I have always prided myself on my personal integrity. No one can take it away from me.
I am also a liar. I lied to hundreds of people for years. I told them stories of eternal life and paradise. For that I am sorry. Right is right. I no longer lie for them.

okay, here's my submission, for your laughter and/or groans:.
there once was a witness called fred,.
who thought that he was by god led.. he studied his greek,.
I once had a book bag and neck tie.
I preached to the worldly that they'd die.
Twas my big mistake,
For the "Truth" was a fake.
Now on the forum my opinions do share I.
i don't understand the logic of boycotting the dixie chicks because of the comments the singer made about being ashamed that bush is from texas.
it doesn't make sense to me.
keep in mind that i'm just a canadian, so maybe i'm just not tuned in to the american way of thinking.
I don't understand it either.
I was boycotting them cause I don't like country music. That was enough for me.

If not for her actions Lacey and the child might still be alive.
Maybe its a stretch, what do you think?
