1. very good. . . .n/t

[alfredo]

2. Thanks. How many bridges could have been fixed or replaced with the

money given to billionaires by bush and his republican followers. Same goes for bush's lovely war.

3. Nice...

Kicked & Rec'd.

Our country is crumbling around us in more ways than one.
Randi is brilliant today.
She's dead on with these statements...

WE ARE RIPE FOR THE PICKING.
WE CAN'T EVEN PROTECT OURSELVES AT HOME.
THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE DOESN'T EVEN FOLLOW THE LAW.
WE WERE A NATION OF LAWS, NOW NOT SO MUCH.

If someone wanted to start some shit, now is the time.
We are weak and we are a paper tiger.

We're due to get smacked around and soon.

4. Someone should turn this into a poster and bumper sticker

[alfredo]

8. Posterazor will allow you to turn that or any image into a poster.

It's free and compatible for many platforms.

5. I change my chalkboard message in front of my house

Bridge collapses,pipes bursting
results of Tax cuts during WAR

[alfredo]

17. Great.

The rich get tax cuts, we get collapsing bridges.

[Rambis]

6. Shouldn't it be tax relief? (nm)

[alfredo]

7. That's how the Repugs frame it.

[Mabus]

9. All the better. Throw it back in their faces

and let them explain it.

[alfredo]

10. I'd rather point out that our tax money is being wasted on the rich and

for bush's lovely war.

[Mabus]

12. That works too

and I can't argue with you because you have a great point.

[alfredo]

15. You can argue if you want to. BTW

you still folding@home?

[Mabus]

18. Yes I am

so is my husband.

I don't want to argue with you. I'd rather have you as a friend.

[alfredo]

20. I don't want to argue either, but I am saying it doesn't bother me if

someone disagrees. Zoloft does that for a person :D

Maybe we should do another folding at home thread to see if we can snag a few new folders.

[Mabus]

22. I've got a coffee cup you could appreciate

It says "The Zoloft Morning". I got it from a friend.

As for arguing, let's just say, I'll save my argument energy for a later date. I've been through too much in the past month to want to add to my stress level right now. I lost my grandmother* and the matriarch of our family last month. This week I've spent my "free time" tracking down a plumbing leak in a crawl space. I'll let you know when I've got time to pick a bone with you. ;)

You know me, if there's a folding thread, I will participate and do what I can to get others to sign up.



*As we say, she was my grandmother Indian-way but she was my great-aunt white-way. She was my maternal grandmother's older sister. My maternal grandmother died the year I was born and I never met her. Indian-way, all my great-grandmothers children are considered my grandparents. Grandma was one of the few who was still fluent in Arapaho and she was a resource for our tribal customs and lore. She spent a few years making language tapes and teaching the youngsters in our tribe our language. She ran our camp at Sun Dances, found our names for us and made sure we remembered and followed the old ways.

23. I was on Zoloft around the time I was fighting for my

disability, so I can speak with some authority on it. I call it whatever pills.


I have been spending the week tracking down a broadband connection problem.

Sorry for your loss. It reminds me of what Laurie Anderson said about her father, "When my father died it was like a library burning down."

[MrMickeysMom]

11. Perfect...

I can plaster a bunch of these signs around Pittsburgh. Just take a look at our bridges, dude and dudettes!

[alfredo]

16. Boil a bit of flour and water and

and you have a paste that will last until the second coming.

[bagimin]

13. KICK

[mountainvue]

14. Amen. n/t

[defendandprotect]

19. Progressive income taxes work to keep us all safe -- anything less is suicidal --

[file83]

21. We fight the terrorists over there, so our bridges can collapse from neglect over here.

[alfredo]

24. You said it! Great.
