This was timetobuildaboat's idea. Since we mostly doom and gloom (with good reason) around here, time thought it might be fun and beneficial for us to have an ongoing thread on which we can share these things with one another. Someone else will have to go first. I'm still wracking my brain trying to think of something. :P

Better: Great internet talk shows. 4um. The internet in general. High speed connections. More people pulling their heads out. Mrs.L stopping the aspartame usage. All God's other blessings. Worse: Everything else. Cheers.
A peppermint candy stuck in my hair after a night on the town?
And I'm optimistic. See, I think you can be realistic and optimistic at the same time. I'm optimistic we'll achieve -- I know we won't achieve if we send mixed signals. I know we're not going to achieve our objective if we send mixed signals - gwbush
You commie weirdo. Do you think I miss the 90s, when I got raises around 10 percent every year, and had headhunters calling all the time? Bah, making a decent living makes you SOFT! I much prefer making less money, working much harder, watching my living expenses soar while my pay barely budges. Makes a man tough and lean! Like our brave, honest, kindly, thoughtful, intellectual, adorable, handsome, forthright, straight-shooting President said, finally, our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is over. I know he said it, it was in the Onion.
Loved him. Add Cat Stevens and Harry Chapin. Hmmm, there might be something dangerous about being a singer/songwriter/storyteller. That reminded me of an old National Lampoon radio hour skit where Hunter Thompson has picked up a hitchhiking hippie who has amnesia from getting kicked in the head by a Hell's Angel at a concert and is heading north for the big Janis Joplin/Jimi Hendrix concert. "I had some bad news for Rip Van Ripple. Janis is dead." OH NO MAAAAAN. "And so's Jimi." OH MAAAAAAN, NOT JIMI!!! "And Jim Morrison." No, NOT JIM MAN! "And Jim Croce." OH NOOOOO, wait, who's Jim Croce? Real old joke, only for us old people.
Welcome to the NWO, comrade. Get your three jobs, so Jorge can pin a medal on your ass. Well done. (Hang in there, friend, you can make it.)
ha! so, whatcha lookin' forward to then?
It's not quite over yet, but it's living on borrowed time. Peace is still realatively real in America, as is prosperity compared to the rest of the world. But big changes are in store soon that will make people think that the last 5 years were the good old days. Heck, even the great depression of the 1930's will look good compared to what's coming to America soon.
God is always good! I hear ya' (barely)(g)
A gallows built for six, a front row seat, and waiter service so I can have a few cocktails. Should only take a few hours to take care of the worst of them.
Hah! But, we're not talking about wet-dreams, just hopes...but I love your dream.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the drug resistant TB. We don't have any diseases like that currently and I appreciate diversity.
Zogby Poll- "By a margin of 53% to 42%, Americans want Congress to impeach President Bush if he lied about the war in Iraq."
Bump..

Don't get much better than these.
Let's CELEBRATE this diversity.

Dengue (aka HEMORRHAGIC) Fever sounds like an absolute hoot, we should sue Texas for oppressing us by keeping it to themselves.

A nice long hike today well above 5000 feet on the Mountains to Sea Trail (Western North Carolina) with my beautiful wife and my dog. Wonderful overlooks seeing Tennent Mountain and Mt Pisgah. Looking down into vallies and catching a glimpse of the headwaters of a fork of the Pigeon River flowing over a distant rock. Although we ran into this really dense couple with two hyper and agressive dogs. I (we) have domesticated a wild anmial. As sweet and wonderful as he is, there are certain variables out of my control. 90% of the time, my dog could care less about other dogs. That is, until they attempt to usurp is role as Alpha Male. It was one of those intances where I seriously thought for a couple seconds he may very well inflict serious harm on two other dogs and there was not one thing I could do to stop him. Dingo just does not register with folks. Much less trying to explain Carolina Dog/American Dingo. Honestly, a stupid woman who thought all anmials are kind to one another all the time. I hope they are okay. They had no freaking clue where they were or where they were going and they had no provisions on them. I am looking forward to watching college football tomorrow. Hoping UNC can beat Maryland for 5 wins and then beat Duke for that 6th and go to a bowl. Looking foward to another hike with just me and the dog on Sunday. Want to do some things that my wife (bless her soul) just can't do.
lovely. i'm happy that my son has moved from maryland back here to austin. it's "better" having him close and not so far away.
Better? Hmmm, I am a better musician, but my band broke up. My marriage is stronger though....these could be related issues. Looking forward to: 1) Endangered Species Act reform (abolishment would be even better) 2) A conservative supreme court 3) Thanksgiving with 18 friends and family 4) Republican party hacks retiring so REAL conservatives can take their place. 5) A renaissance of good rock n roll writers 6) The realization among intellectuals that socialism is a failed form of government. 7) Paying less taxes because #6 became reality 8) Seeing positive news on 4um. 9) The defeat of radical Islam. 10) More open minded people - doom and gloom is depressing!
Many a day I feel the same way....

Now HERE'S a topic worthy of its own thread. I'm always looking around for internet radio shows I can download and burn to a CD. Anyone want to put up such a thread to solicit suggestions from other posters? Just a thought...
Thank you for ruining my day. :-) I lived a short distance from that area from 1999 to 2004, then returned to New England (I know...stupid, stupid, stupid). I have fond memories of hot days at Sliding Rock (at 53, I should know better, but I didn't care...move over, kids...old fart coming through!) Hope to return to that area next Spring. (or Costa Rica...haven't quite made up my mind.) Enjoy the day...G-d's country.
Man, you'd LOVE New England! ...or are you already here?
Actually; I should quit whining...so it's only fifteen degrees out...at least it's SUNNY! :-)
I want to be "Raptured" so I can go drinking with Hey-Sus.
Things are so much better now that we don't have to picture semen stains on the carpet in that back hall off the Oval Office. And we don't have to worry any more about that little sink where the president is said to have "relieved himself" in some way or other. I am just so glad that we don't have a sexual predator in the White House. (Now we just have a plain old predator.) At last, decency has been restored. The adults are in charge. Now we Americans can hold up our heads. Hillary can't make any more $1000 commodities "investments" and come out with a $100,000 return. No siree--those political people and their wives have to be scrupulously honest now! Can't you just feel the honesty? (All those indictments and SEC investigations and Abramoff this, Abramoff that, but boy Hillary sure paid politically for that huge sum of $100,000! Serves her right. Next thing you know she'd have been using eminent domain to seize land for a stadium, then sticking taxpayers with the bill for building it while walking off with millions!) And I'm sure no lonely government appointees in D.C. will have to commit suicide because "here, ruining people is considered sport." 'Cause they don't ruin people in D.C. any more! Everyone respects everyone else's point of view! Just ask Joe and Valerie Wilson, or Scott Ritter! And... oh! Now that Hillary is not in any sort of power in the White House, I don't have to worry about nationalizing health care. Nope, I can enjoy the current system without a care in the world. It's so much more honorable to pay hundreds of dollars per month to have a $10,000 deductible before a penny of my family's health costs are paid. Sure, we might get sick and be unable to pay for treatment, but at least all those nice drug companies and hospitals and doctors don't have to worry about CREEPING SOCIALISM and COMMUNISM (BOOOOAHAHAHA!) making them have to get along on a paltry $1,000,000 per. I feel so much cleaner. Nowadays all I have to worry about is having the government quite literally come and take my children and send them to die in a foreign country, or just some silly thing like being dragged off to a prison where I have no habeas corpus and where nobody ever reviews my imprisonment-- all because I was discovered to have said "I hate Bush/Cheney" on the internets. Or some nonsense about not being able to afford an antibiotic to treat a dogbite because it cost $250 for about 10 pills because drug companies are allowed to get all their profits at the front end. Wouldn't want any of those generic drugs to get about! And... having to one day walk into the Winn Dixie and find the shelves bare because the trucks that deliver the food couldn't afford to buy gas to transport it? Priceless.
Wow. You knocked it out of the park. Bravo!
excellent!!!
Thanks, you guys. And I even forgot to mention how happy I am that we are protected from those awful medical malpractice lawsuits. I'm sure Sen. Santorum and his wife would agree!
About this talking turd Santorum. He's about to go under in PA to Bob Casey's kid. It's funny, Bush was in PA yesterday giving a canned speach to a captive audience, and Santorum was nowhere to be found. The Bush appears to be radioactive (see Tuesday's VA election). Yes, life can be great at times :)
Maybe Sanctum Santorum was at home playing with a dead baby. He doesn't just need to be booted out of the senate. He needs to be booted out of the human race.
You're on a roll! Are you sure you aren't Dakmar (g)
Would you mind if I used your #55 reply as my TagLine? I'll have to talk to Neil first - to extend the field length.
The mind once expanded by a new idea never returns to its' original size
Life IS sweet.. the adults are in charge :P
LOL!! Everyone would think you're a certain unnamed poster.. :P
when you find some, post it for us. ;)
On a personal note. I no longer consume ethyl-alcohol. Just too taxing when one only has one day off of a 68hrs./week schedule.

I'm thankful the 50's are back. I'm ready to go build my bomb shelter and hide from the Commies...er Muslims....er Muslim Commies...and I can't wait to turn in my neighbors to the HUAC for their peace mongering vigils. I'm just not sure which 50's it is - the 1950s or the 1750s? I guess if it's the 1750s we got a couple of revolutions coming up in a generation or so. Deja vu all over again.
Well, what has gotten better? The prospects for me and many other people like me to get together in a forum where there's plenty of sunshine, outdoors, and an exercise regimen that will give us all our health back. I'm not talking about Club Med, I'm talking about the concentration camps. The other thing I'm also look forward to, is the Flu Pandemic that will eventually mutate with Mad Cow disease, and become Zombie Holocaust. When that happens, they'll have to spring me from the concentration camp to give advice, and tactics to the people who will have to defend us from the coming Zombie Hordes. Once I'm free of the Concentration Camps, and have given the FEMA jerks the slip, I can roam free, unaccosted by Zombies, and go back home where my preparations for a Zombie Holocaust will be implemented. That's right folks, Zombie Holocaust is a reality. It can and will happen. When it does, will you be prepared????
