Do you have ESP?
by JH indo you have esp?try your "luck" with the next 5 pages.. one of the squares is unique to the other 11.. can you single out that square?.
behind only one of these squares lies the word correct.. select a square mentally then click on the square.. see how many tries it takes you to find the unique square.. once you select the correct square, you will go on to 'page two' and so on.. (the subsequent pages give you more tries to guess the unique square which is different on each of the five pages.).
page 1 of 5. .

As for my Grandbaby crawling on the floor where people have walked with dirty shoes YUCK!!! I prefer her to build up immunities other ways.
That's what vacuum cleaners, mops, and rug shampooers are for.
Yes, debris on the bottom of people's shoes can 'contaminate' the floor, and they can be hard on carpet. People's bare (and even stocking clad) feet harbor all sorts of germs and other assorted nastiness as well, and over time the oils in the skin of bare feet can be just as damaging to the carpet as any shoe can.
The point is that when people are in your home, you can ask them to do pretty much whatever you like. If you feel better about your floors being exposed to feet rather than shoes, fine. If you like shoes better than bare feet, that's ok too. The arguments people raise are valid on both sides of the issue, but the pros and cons cancel eachother out. Do what you want, and even congratulate yourself on how right you are, but realize that in the grand scheme of things you have the opportunity in every debate to decide if this is "the hill you want to die on".
Shoes Indoors v. No Shoes Indoors. Thanks, but I think I'll wait for a better hill...

After reading your posts, I was always thinking "That's interesting, but what's the deal with the bare ass pic?"

Interesting UK Daily Mirror Article
by DakotaRed insince some consider the us to be the most dangerous rogue nation currently and others have stated we are little more than corrupt thugs, i find this article from the daily mirror to be quite intersting.. .
tony parsons - uk daily mirror september 11, 2002 no matter what your views on president bush's statement of upcoming war, this is from an english journalist, is very interesting.
no, do more than remember.

I posted that same article some weeks back, DakotaRed. I found it very interesting as well.
I'm tired of how fashionable anti-american sentiment has become, but I try to hold onto the belief that part of what makes this country great is that all Americans are free to think and say what they like without fear of being dragged out of their houses and shot in the public square for their words and beliefs.
Like the author, I think America has shown remarkable restraint since 9/11.

Difference of age
by JH inso many times in the jw, i saw couples getting married.
but what struck me so often was the difference in age between the man and wife.
often the man was 15-25 years older than the woman.

My husband is just shy of 10 years older than I am, and while I agree that the attitude that "age is just a number" can be thrown about in deference to the heart being blind to such matters, there are certain considerations one has to make with even a 10 year age difference in a relationship.
On a daily basis, it's a non-issue (aside from the good natured ribbing that is abundant at our house--"Honey, when you graduated from high school, I was in third grade!" or "The year you lost your virginity, I was six years old!"). I fell in love with him, it would have mattered very little to me how old he was. I suppose that the it matters when you meet someone, as well. There's a period of in most of our lives where age means much less than it does when we're very young or getting 'old'. I was 23, he was 32. At that point in our lives we were pretty much peers. It would have been a different (and creepy!) story had we met when I was 15 and he was going on 25.
That is not to say, however, that any significant age difference doesn't require a little forethought. Planning for a synchronized retirement makes for some pretty creative fiscal management and investment strategies. Planning our family took a some consideration about the future. And even our 10 year spread makes for some fear about living out our golden years together. Fortunately, my husband has promised that he will outlive me, and insists that I'm lucky to have found him because a younger man could never handle me...

Anti-Absolutism:
You're totally right...I've been laughing for the last five minutes! Apparently I'm of the .005% of people who's mind isn't capable of performing simple mathematic calculations in my head anymore (also known as accountants--be afraid!). If I'd been playing along correctly at home, I think we can be pretty certain that my Kanagaroo would be eating and orange in Denmark.
Thanks for the slap upside the head!

Have You Forgotten?
by freedom96 ini heard a song on the radio yesterday, that i wonder if many have heard.
it is being boycotted by many country radio stations.
i personally don't listen to much country, but had a chance to hear this song on a national radio talk show.

Sara Annie
No, I never heard that song......probably never will. We don't really get country music here in Pennsylvania.
I think not. Let's try to remember that the fact that you live in Pennsylvania, and that you don't regularly listen to country music doesn't mean that the entire state doesn't have regular access to it. Flip around your dial, I'm sure there are countless stations you've been unaware of.
It's a Daryl Worley, right? I don't know what all the fuss is about. A boycott seems a little ironic to me. Seems like it hits a little closer to home than people would like it to. As I love irony in all of it's various forms, I say a heartfelt: "Puh-leeze".

Elephant in France, eating a Tangerine.
Just call me Ms. 2%!
I like these kinds of things. There's nothing "dull" about it, in my opinion. Statistical probability related to human behavior is fascinating. Of COURSE it's manipulative, but it couldn't very well be so if there weren't some relative absolutes in how people make choices given specifically constructed parameters.

Oh Liberty, I didn't hate you in the drug debate. That's silly. You just made a really ridiculous analogy in a response post that rubbed me totally the wrong way.
As to the children being biologically his, I will agree that there is a slim possiblity that they may be his children. I am not a geneticist, and I can't remember how to construct a Punnett square to determine the probability of children born to Michael Jackson with a caucasion appearance. I will also say that even though my knowledge of all iterations of bi-racial children is not extensive, I've never ONCE seen a tow-headed, straight haired white child with a black biological parent. In my opinion, those children are not his biologically. It's more likely in my opinion that he snatched them out of momentarily stranded strollers at a local Toys R Us than sired them genetically.
If they are adopted, so be it. I have no issue (beyond the "Holy Crap, who would give that freak a baby!" argument) with his having adopted children. It's the pretense that he somehow created these children with a woman in any sort of natural manner that sickens me.
The really amazing thing to me about this thread is the number of people who have railed against "biased journalism", but take as gospel truth the edited portions of Jackson's response. It's not as if the interviewer being vilified has cornered the market on spin, people. Isn't it more likely that the "truth" lies somewhere between the two versions?
