they are talking about all the turmoil in the Middle East, courtesy of the Bush "Foreign Policy" :cry:

1. These are depressing days, indeed. Turn the TV off, and go have
a drink. You'll feel better.

6. I am with you sweetie and it doesn't end with turning the TV off.

I went to Costco today and I have to say I was overwhelmed by the excess of everything compared to those suffering in the Mid East who are scraping for something. And not just in the Mid east but everywhere and then I thought of the Global Warming Crisis not being addressed and it goes on and on all the crisis. I am in crisis overload! It made me ashamed, sad and scared for all of our futures including my little boys.

At least we have each other. :hug:

16. Israel, Lebanon, civil war in Iraq, tsunami, the Phoenix serial killers,
people dying from heat exhaustion ... everything is saddening.

And you are absolutely right: A lot of the sh*t is going on thanks to Bush. "Saving" cells created through in-vitro fertilization so that they now end up in the garbage (instead of being donated to science to save life) is "pro-life", but ordering the killing tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis babies, mothers, and fathers is nothing to worry about.

Sometimes it is better to just turn the TV off.

33. oh, all right -- here's one of my favorites


Silkie adopted me one evening eight years ago. My husband opened the door of our apartment (half of a side-by-side duplex) and this cat came running in and right over to me, meowing, while I was working on something on the floor. He is soooo cuddlesome and so mellow and sweet-natured!

I've been rooting for all out way in the Middle East for months?

Sure you don't have me mixed up with someone else?

Don't worry about getting lost. Just put one foot in front of the other.

Edited on Fri Jul-21-06 09:24 PM by alyce douglas
I don't know but this is what they want us to feel exactly, they want to mentally drain the american people (only those of us who are paying any attention to what is going on) we cannot let them. That vote in November is nothing to laugh at we have to save ourselves from this regime. Bush stands unchallenged when is someone or somebody going to challenge him, he is one dopey man, and there are so many of us, why are we taking this? sorry just my frustration and my rant.

42. not a problem alyce p. douglas. Sorry, I had to add the p. I've been
wanting to do that since I first saw your name. Ok now that that fun is over, I agree the dope needs an in your face challenge. A Zell Miller duel would do, but short of that coward cowwad looking down a tar bucket, he's not going any place for two more years and approximately 6 months (unless we impeach him). We must make the best of things here and now. And it has been my experience, that when I am down in the dumps, all I want to do is look for garbage, because that's all there is. So I choose to chase rainbows. If you want you can follow me. :D :hi:

38. We went to see Clerks II
Otherwise, the relentless barrage of shit in the world can truly wear you down.

The movie did work - for awhile. :-) Everyone needs an escape occasionally.
