Is anyone still on here?  Just wondering since I haven't been on here in a while.  I finally signed up on Facebook, which I still don't really like, but went to because everyone else I knew was paying far more attention to things over there.

In any event, if anyone is on here who isn't on my FB friends list and would like to be, let me know.

After seeing this photo, I find myself needing to write something.  This photo, as is mentioned in the description by the mother who posted it, is of the woman's ( Read more... )

After 15 weeks of the season, the perfect season had to come to an end in New Orleans and at the hands of the Cowboys, about as near as possible to the worst end as it could be; worse would have been losing in week 17 to Tampa Bay or Detroit, but a near-by team that has long scorned the Saints so very close to the end is only a bit removed from ( Read more... )

So, it occurred to me that I don't think either danaewinters or I fully updated people with what has happened with the house.  Quite a bit has happened, so I'll go back over it.

A week before this last Monday, our buyer was due to release their contingencies.  For those not aware of what this means, this essentially finalizes the purchase of the house as it is ( Read more... )

So, I'm at work right now, sorting through packages while listening to music on my cell phone when on comes "Ribbons Undone", by Tori Amos.  Now, while danaewinters  might be a huge Tori Amos fan, I'm only one in passing (it's not that she's not good, but just that she usually doesn't speak to me very much) and so I don't have more than two of her songs on my ( Read more... )

What does this mean for Quesada?  Could it (hopefully) mean that he will not long remain?
What happens to Universal Studios and all their rides and attractions named after Marvel characters?
Could we see Spiderman (or even more ( Read more... )

You know, I am sick to death of the conditional morality that has been embraced by some in the wake of September 11th.  Following the report released today that detailed a number of interrogations that clearly violated US law and the Geneva conventions and are clearly defined as "torture" by both (actions made to convince someone that they're about ( Read more... )
