A few weeks ago, on the way home from work, my sweet husband had quite a frustrating experience. Some guy, who was turning left into four possible lanes, decided to swing out to his right in order to make his left hand turn. Naturally, my husband honked and lifted his hands to say, "what are you doing?" In doing so he drifted a bit to his left which led him straight into the median. Well, apparent

What fun I had frolicking about the scene during my younger brother's visit, the photographer behind this very set. Feeling sprite-like, I took it upon myself to pose waterside. As we neared the local theater, he snapped a few extra candids. (We saw "Rear Window" that day.) It was a warm, sunny afternoon filled with fluttering butterflies overhead and a near cloudless sky. I opted for a floaty, co
Bridal gowns, or better known as Bridal dresses, have been the one thing that has not taken on a dramatic change in terms of how weddings have evolved over the last 50 years.

Ok, I have been pondering this question for about a week now. Why does it seem that modern day sex experts that rise to fame are old women? I’m just curious.

The past few weeks have been extremely challenging for a number of reasons...morale is down..and so are our sales. Sometimes when our spirits our weak..something incredible happens but you can't waste your energy in wallowing in self pity because you might miss golden opportunities the ones that can make you somebody... Everyone goes through challenging times but its those times that allow your true fighting spirit to come out....when you hear that great things cannot be done meaning you can't, it won't work..give it up...It's these types of thoughts that drive me..to be better...to know and to believe... Modern day nobodies who took what they love to do...to the next level...make it a great selling week!

Wikipedia describes bartering as a type of trade that does not use any medium of exchange (money), in which goods or services are exchanged for other goods and services. Bartering dates back to times before there monetary currency. I was discussing with one of my friends and coworkers about how much I hated to iron my pants. No matter how I do it, I can never get them right. I can never get the creases like I want them and they are usually still wrinkled in some spots. Instead of trying to iron my pants, I would take them to the dry cleaners. The dry cleaner I use charges about $2 per pant with light starch. I only take my khaki's that I wear to work to the dry cleaners; my jeans I still try to iron or I just fold them up out of the dryer. My friend was talking about how much she hated

Though that persnickety fellow we’ve come to know as daddypapersurfer is often cajoled and snickered at by the good folks who visit his blog, fondly calling him the “old git,” there has been a new development which I, fracas, have stumbled upon.
We have been fleeced, folks! Fooled and tricked, wool firmly sheathing our baby blues (or browns, or hazels if that be the case for you.. or you) out there.

The truth though, is that daddyp is none other than a modern day Don Juan Demarco, conquering the women of the world for his personal gain.

You think that in 2007 there wouldnt be any trouble with interracial couples anymores. but that is wrong. I am a white guy who likes to date girls of different races. I cant help the people i like. I have dated asian, latina, kurdish and now talking to this other girl who is mixed with some different things. It really pisses me off when my parents get on me and make fun of me because of it. always saying when am i gonna bring home a white girl and other things. They think its funny but it really isnt funny when my parents keep doing it over and over. recently i told them i was talking to this who was mixed and it was nice. I got pissed off cause they keep joking and i dont like it. But when i get mad at them, they turn it on me and get mad at me for getting mad at them and it's all bullshit. i wish that i could say hey i am dating this girl and my mom not say " so is she white" or "what race is this one" i wish she could say.. oh that awesome, what her name and whats she from.

John is a hard working middle-class man in a mixed blue collar and upcoming white collar neighborhood. A vestige of old times when working class groups of families purchased homes before the mention of any housing bubble or subprime mortgage ever hit the CNBC newswires. Now this neighborhood is experiencing a Renaissance that doesn’t include blue collar working class families. “I wouldn’t be able to purchase my own home if I were to buy it right now,” echoes John as many families in this neighborhood feel the same sentiment. The idea of using interest only mortgages or refinancing to tap into mortgage equity seem like a foreign language to his frugal and debt free way of life. The only debt that he has, he proudly tells me, is the mortgage debt which he only has a few years left to pay off. Welcome to a bygone era and the rhetoric of a past decade. We are living in a time where the definition of “home” is radically shifting. Take a look at some quotes from the ex-he
One of the problems being a blogger during a time when much of humanity finds itself in a living hell and democracy here in the US is crumbing faster right before our very eyes, it becomes very difficult exposing everything that that is going on, such as completing a post on the situation down in Jena, Louisiana - a small southern town that reveals this country’s history of slavery, Jim Crow law, and lynch mobs. The case is better know as the Jena 6 - Robert Bailey Jr., Mychal Bell, Carwin Jones, Bryant Purvis, Theo Shaw and an unnamed juvenile.
A brief background of the event for those who are unaware what is happening in Jena. This event started on a late summer day in 2006, in Jena, LA, when several African American high school students, at a school assembly, had decided to challenge an unspoken rule by asking the school’s vice principal if they could sit under a schoolyard tree, dubbed the “White Tree.” The tree was on the side of the campus that had always
Are we sending our people as modern day heroes or as commodities in human trafficking of slaves?

Dina Meza, coordinator of Revistazo.comPhoto: BBC.comI've been reading Revistazo.com (en Español) for several months now ever since one of my readers recommended it (Antonio, I think). I have been impressed that this online newspaper has the guts to tell a lot of the stories that don't make the regular Honduran newspapers or if the story does get reported, it is sugar-coated and doesn't name names.Revistazo also has regular educational articles about some of the laws, particularly worker's rights. I've been curious about who was behind this online newspaper because it's not an exaggeration to say that people who do this kind of reporting in Honduras are risking their lives.Just recently, Dina Meza, coordinator of Revistazo, received the 2007 Amnesty International Special Award for Human Rights Journalism Under Threat.

A MODERN DAY PROPHET?Miracle blessings by special anointed oil! A special red prayer cloth anointed by a prophet of God! Anointed olive oil soap that washes away the sin of poverty!It would be apparent to most, that statements such as these, uttered by wild-eyed men and women claiming to have received a vision from God are clearly false and unbiblical. The truth is, this business is a prosperous one! There are people who DO give money with full belief and faith in these men and women! That is the most amazing aspect of these types of "ministries".If there are people who give willingly, to what is transparently false, how much more are being mislead by those who are not quite as obvious? This begs the question, is there such a thing as a modern day prophet, a prophet that brings a message from God?VOCATION -EDIFYING OF THE BODY1 Corinthians 12:27-28 "Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdl

Is the non-decaying Twinkie story an urban legend? Well, this Twinkie is officially two months old today. Apart from being very hard, it looks the same to me as it did when I removed it and it’s sibling from the package on March 14, 2007. The twin suffered a fatal drop from my six year-old son’s hands a couple of weeks ago. It was soggy from being placed in a zip lock bag and had been in the dark loset, only being brought out for photos. My son picked it up to look for mold (he found none) when the accident occurred. We continued with the surviving Twinkie dry and in the light. No mold or signs of decay on this Twinkie now at two months prompts me to ask if anyone really believes that a food that shows no sign of deterioration after this long is really safe to eat. The makers of Twinkies already concede they aren’t healthy but they taste good. One of my friends in medical residency, Dr. Bruce Caldwell, affectionately called fast food “garbage food”. He or someone else in my

Israel's president Moshe Katsav has taken a suspension of his position, something he himself requested, in order to deal with what appear to be trumped up charges that he committed rape upon as many as eight female employees on his staff at various times in past years. And it's sad to say, but I think this is indeed a modern day Dreyfus affair. Katsav's speech tells a few very important things here, including how attorney general Menny Mazuz double-crossed him:A first in modern Israeli history: The President of Israel vehemently condemned official national organs, saying they cooperated in targeting him because of his "outsider" status.At times his voice broke, and at other times he was furious with rage, but he showed conviction and firmness throughout his 50-minute speech.Though the President has claimed innocence ever since the allegations of sexual harassment against him first arose shortly before the summer war with Hizbullah, he has never publicly explained his side of the eve

A Modern Day Weimar

Dear Extend Family,
Unless the LIBOR rate drops sharply we are facing a planetary financial crisis next week.
For God's sake protect yourself.
Gold and gold related items will be the only true storehouses of wealth. The bailout bill is powerless to reverse what is now happening.
This is a modern day Weimar happening right
