Morning T and everyone else,

I have come accustomed to waking up to a lil hello from you Theresa....thank you for that.  You are like a cup of coffee and the newspaper rolled into one. LOL! 

Thanks for watching the video....they appear fast but they are safe.  Cute uh?  Can you believe those boys are only 7,8,&9????  I love it.  When I was at the track watching my nephew for the first time I wasn't nervous.  Either it is because I know he has the equipment on or because I grew up at a dirt track (cars) with my father and uncles all racin', I can't help it that is in my blood!!!  I love racin'.  My daughter is a lil gear head too...she prefers old chevys like vettes, and chevelles.  HAHAHA!!  That's my girl!!  

Today our weather is, hold let me look outside...sunny, a couple of clouds....I hear a chance of thunderstorms. LOL! 

Your Barrack Obama posable doll has me cracking up.  I suspect Theresa,  that if you and I  had a real world friendship we would keep each other smilin and laughin, no doubt about it.  Sounds like we may similar senses of humor...and we both know that is important.  

No new news here....Today I may actually read your news....I did that a bit before I started posting alot, like you, I compared real estate.

The problem with the rain isn't the mud, the city owns all our ballfields and they decide to cancel...they don't want to ruin the fields.  That is why the coaches, out of their own pockets, have brought the team to batting cages and the indoor field for the scrimmage the other night.  We are all trying to figure out what to do with 12 girls and equipment...nobody has a big enough yard...for all of us really...I could get 4 girls playing pass in my back yard at the most....but then again we can't devide the team up...and never have them practice as a team...all will be fine though...I can't wait until her 1st game as an allstar.  The kid has worked so hard...this was her 4th season, 1st allstar try-out...she has earned this.  Alot of hard work from my 10 not quite 11 year old.  Her bday is the 12th....she is getting older...all of 11, my baby!

You wait, si ko, your kids are young.  Wait until you are going from a baseball/softball field to a lacrosse field to a band concert....fun, fun, fun!!!  All worth it...but a bit of advice...one sport per child per season....that is more than enough.

Happy Fourth Everyone!!!

Stay safe,

care29

Hi Care, KO, Pets, Brats, Sneaky and anyone else that is out there, how are you today?  I am fine here, it looks like it is going to rain here today, my son will be happy he won’t have to work. Care I looked at the video, it was so fast. It made me feel like I was on a roller coaster, it was good.  I would worry to death about kids going that fast, but I know the parents take all safety precautions.  Biddeford is a great town to me, because it is Maine and you are close to the ocean. Does Maine have hurricanes? I think it is most likely too far up, but you most likely get the remnants do them.

  Doing the usual Looky look at the Portland Herald Express, not much happening there. Again cold and rainy, we have the same weather almost every day.  I see all the rain is destroying all your beaches, when is going to stop raining?  It must really suck for your little girl, with softball, it is so hard to play in mud.  Every day when I sign on to the Portland Press herald, the ad for Dunkin Donets come up, I can smell the coffee and chocolate cream donut right away.  I can’t wait to go back to New York in a few weeks

KO I like your face book pages, thanks for being a new face book friend. I love looking at everyones pictures.  I bought a Gumby yesterday on E-bay for my photo album, the new Adventures of Barack Obama. Gumby and pokey will add much to his adventures.  I know you’re on Montana Ko, but I just wanted to check in. Have a great time!

PS- Pets I still want to know about all your animals.

I hope everyone has a great day, Theresa

this whole thing makes me sick. men and women whining about how everything is unfair. honestly. i agree with the men that women take advantage of child support and that laws need to be changed. i don't agree at the outrageous amounts that non-custodial parents have to pay.  my mother got 770 a month from my father for 3 kids and like most women, she took advantage of it and paid for her rent and bills but when it came to feeding and clothing her children, we got crapped on sharing clothes and bologna sandwiches and ramen. and she worked full time. women today are getting things for them selves with the money and not taking care of the children. i am a single mother with a wonderful autistic son who recieves no child support and no welfare and not on any government programs. i work fulltime in retail but i make enough to get by and buy everything that my son needs. my son's father on the other hand thankfully comes and visits his son quite often but also has 3 other children who their mothers are withholding visitations against court orders. he makes 800 a month and is supposed to pay 1200 a month for the 3 of them. i have listened on the phone to his workers cuss him out and tell him that he is a deadbeat dad because he doesn't have three jobs to make his full payment, and they have missed notifying him of reviews to get them lowered. also denying dna testing is pathetic. the child support agencies shouldn't be a state to state thing, i belive that the states should have to answer to a federal agency and a national guidelines should be set. the amount per child should be based by age of the child and how many children there are. if each state had to answer to someone above them and a figure of how much it takes to care for a child of a certain age was cut in half and set to a payment guildline. i think things would be much better for all involved. i also believe that child support payments should be put on a type of child support card so that when the child support was recieved, the custodial parent would have to spend it on the childs needs and so that child support could moniter that the money was actually spent on the child and not am the custodial parents wants. i say this because my mother and a few of my friends mothers made us borrow from our child support and pay it back because it was their money, not ours. many people may not agree, but i think that it may be a way to restrict some of the ways that the custodial parents take advantage of their kids. also if i can raise my autistic son without the financial help, i think many others can do that also or maybe i'm just lucky to be able to do so. and no my family is not around me so they don't provide daycare, i pay just like others do.

What the hell is wrong with you guys, anyway?  There is NOTHING WRONG with serving in the military and then criticizing the war.  Many Iraqi vets have done just that.  And many Vietnam vets have done the same thing after serving in Vietnam.  Who, but people who have actually been there and served would know best, whether it was a good or a bad thing?

Our country has not always done the right things.  We are not perfect.  I can say that and still love my country.  Being "patriotic" doesn't mean you can't criticize your country or your government.  When are people gonna learn that?  If you have any brains, and you really love your country, you are gonna pay attention to what's going on and try and right what you see as being wrong.  Being "patriotic" doesn't mean supporting everything your country does "no matter what".  That's just like being a robot.  And I, for one, am no robot.

Rugby, I gotta bust ya on this one. No one forced you to go and sign up. You did it on your own free will. Just like you went on your own free will. Even if you were deployed after retirement you still chose to go. You can always refuse, and go to prison instead. Of course, I am assuming you are just pissed because you didn't read the fine print when you signed. Reply...

Saddam did not fund or host AQ.  Saddam and AQ were diametrically opposed ideologically.  Saddam had NOTHING to do with 9/11.  Bush invaded Iraq under false pretenses.  All Americans killed and injured in Iraq died and suffered in vain.

Stop consuming and regurgetating the Cheney propaganda.  It has all been proven to be BS.

Happy July 4th!

Peace and Semper Fidelis...

Jack, Jack, Jack...  Your statement again shows our readers how little you comprehend.  You imply things about me that you do not know and are not true.  You leap to false conclusions and make erroneous generalizations.  Our readers deserve better.

....liberals just love their lawyers, thinks we shouldn't make a move without their advise.  Gots to keep them well funded so they can make the big donations to the Democrat party. Reply...

rugby's - ""What you have proven is that you have no understanding of how our military works.""

 

....appparently you had no idea either, rugby.  You thought the military was just another government welfare program that you could latch onto for the rest of your life, without any strings attached......typical liberal thinking.

Well OK,
You can say truthfully, that Saddam supported terrorism. Several articles indicate that the sent money to finance terrorist training camps...
BLMccAR would have you believe that those camps were in Iraq...prevailing opinion has it that those camps were NOT in Iraq..
Even if those used bio weapons were classified as WMDs, as you note, they're not what the administration meant during it's campaign for the run up to the invasion..I grant that your'e correct there.
At the bottom line,
1. Iraq, prior to the invasion, was rather benign, being run by a bellicose madman
2. While it was not a threat to the USA, Saddam was his own worst enemy, and Cheney's office of special projects took full advantage of that, to make him look like an OGRE...
(as if  OGRE season was open at the time.) and if it was, why didn't we push it at Tora Bora, or rein in Bashir...(Blackhawk Down)
SO...it's not difficult to reach the conclusion that
Bush wanted to pick it up where his dad left off
Bush was after embellishing his legacy, as he'd never succeeded in anything at any time during his life
(I Hope you say the movie W)
Cheney was, and remains a madman
Rummy too, but in an entirely different way. Rummy actually thought history would paint him as a kindly old man...
Bush and Cheney were a "perfect storm" and Rove put it all together
It's an interesting piece of American history, if America survives it..
but hopefully, despite S.G, Jack, Blmccar and others, it will.
It'll take some time, but common decency of America will prevail, after we get rid of the detritus left by the previous administration...many of whom continue to post right here.
We're still circling the drain, but the stopper has been put in place... Reply...

Well if that is the case, then the same "people in power" would still be there. Look at how many Bush era staff are still on now. Reply...
