Displaying 2,941 To 2,970 Of 3,333 Comments It is always here, just as it was for me last week as I faced a terrible loss! I wrote that the support was actually palpable…and I swear that it was! My sister mentioned that “something happened” in regard to her recovery. She, too, sensed something, even in her haze of fever, that gave her strength. Some people will say that we have over-active imaginations…but there are stranger things in heaven and earth! I do believe in the power of collective thoughts! And what are we here for if not to help each other??? 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 9:17 am It’s so great to listen to Stevie sing while I write this reply! Stevie is one of my most favorite artists! What a genius!! Thanks, javaz! And I send my best to Kalima too! I hope this new year will be a better one for her, as well as for all of you too! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 9:01 am Good mornin’, TRP! I am glad to hear from you this morning! You left one thing out…you are a very TALENTED MAN! For those here who might not have read your poetry, I highly recommend it! Beautiful work! I hope that you have more in the pipeline! I hope I can be counted among your friends…you certainly are counted among mine! Here’s hoping you have a wonderful New Year! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 8:53 am Thanks, javaz! And right back atcha’!! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 8:46 am Happy New Year, all you beautiful PlanetPeople! I wish a healthy, happy, and prosperous one for each and every one of you! Some good news for me…my kid sister is out of ICU. I spoke with her at length last night. As I wrote yesterday, she has had something of an epiphany when she realized how close to death she had been. She told me of food tasting better, the TV being much more interesting, and she admitted that she stared at the telephone for a long time, marveling at the technology! She has requested that someone bring her laptop to the hospital…I hope I can get her to write something. I am still the most grateful person in the world for the “gift” of her life! That is all I need to have a happy new year! Thank you again for all the wonderful words of support! Love and peace to you all! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 8:32 am Hey boomer! I could loan you my two doggies! It’s for sure you would wake up! The first thing I am usually aware of is my little black shih tzu, standing up on her hind legs at the bedside, watching to see if I move. If I lay still, she will snort in frustration and go away for a while longer. But if I move, she goes nuts! The unconditional love is incredible! Maybe not the soothing voice you require….but it works! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 6:03 pm “…far beyond those of mortal blogs…” indeed! I just want to say how much I love the Planet and appreciate all the hard work that goes into keeping this rowdy bunch in line! 🙂 This is such a unique concept and I am blown away with the intelligent and knowledgeable people I find here every day! You PlanetPeople really ARE the best! Thanks, Adlib! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 5:53 pm LOL! Operators are standing by to take your order!! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 31, 2009 @ 8:35 am This makes me wonder how Murdoch manages to get FOX on every cable network while MSNBC is not available in many places. If the playing field were level, I wonder if the numbers would be the same. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 5:56 pm Keith was a little over-the-top but I loved it anyway! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 4:43 pm Got it! Thanks! Sent you a reply! 🙂 It’s almost a full moon! Strange!! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 4:41 pm Abby, we have a brand of canned tuna in the US called “Chicken of the Sea”. We also have a young Hollywood actress who wondered aloud whether the contents in the can were tuna…or chicken!! Dumber than a box of rocks! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 4:27 pm Hey javaz! I don’t know if you saw the report, but recently there was an article on Beck that stated that he used “Vick’s Vapo-Rub” under his eyes to produce tears. Sounds painful to me! What a goofball! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 4:23 pm Oh, the digital conversion! I had almost forgotten about that. There was a film clip from one of the teabaggers’ town hall meetings this past summer. One of them made the statement that those “boxes” on your TV were the government brainwashing everybody!! I nearly fell out of my chair laughing! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 4:17 pm “Unglued” is rather kind, nellie! IMO, the man is certifiable. Last night, Keith Olbermann was doing a review of insanity from the past year. He spent quite a bit of time on Beck and his take of the artwork at Rockefeller Center. It was priceless! To anyone who has not seen Beck’s critique of the gorgeous art deco adornment at Rockefeller Center, I’m sure it’s on YouTube and certainly worth the viewing! His paranoia is unsurpassed! Here’s Keith’s segment from last night…
» Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 4:14 pm Nope…he was a Chicken of the Sea! LOL Adlib, you can wipe this one too! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 3:55 pm This comment was in response to Abby’s post below. I don’t know how it ended up here! Sorry! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 3:53 pm I’d like to co-sign your remark about the Scher’s writing! That is, if you don’t mind! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 3:50 pm Hey Khirad, you really didn’t miss much. Typical baiting tactic. Nothing special. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 3:49 pm You’re right…and I see absolutely nothing wrong with being idealistic! 🙂 After all, it was idealistic men who founded our “representative government”. No, the legal system doesn’t always work, but it’s a damned site better than anything else I’ve seen. To my way of thinking, this goes deeper than just “the law”…this goes to our deepest and most basic values of fairness and justice “for all”. What a pity that the previous administration did not hold those values in high regard at all! This issue just brings back into focus the lack of prosecution for the sins of the Bushies. I believe that we cannot wipe this stain from our national soul until these criminals are tried for their crimes. I continue to press for just that. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 11:40 am I agree completely with you, scher! It was, however, reported that some of the people who helped to plan the bombing of the plane on Christmas had been released by the Bush administration from Gitmo. Ironic, isn’t it! This is why I don’t envy the President right now with the decisions he faces. Damned if he does…damned if he doesn’t. I do have faith in President Obama and believe he WILL do the right thing. These men must be tried or released. Indefinite detention is just wrong! At this moment, the issue is being discussed on CNN. The “talking head” says that the politicization of the issue should be put aside. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 11:09 am Excellent, nellie! This is a terrible problem for the President and I don’t envy him the position he’s in. It almost looks as if the Bush administration did everything they could do to complicate his Presidency. It is hard to believe that the people responsible for bringing cases against these men could have been that incompetent. I read, back some time ago, that the files on some of these cases were badly jumbled, incomplete, or completely missing. One man, who was involved in putting the cases back together after President Obama ordered the review, told of finding stacks of documents piled on desks and in drawers and boxes with no organization whatsoever. The high road is never the wrong road. Bush took us down the wrong road, circumventing every value that we as Americans hold dear. Now, the President is faced with terrible choices and stands to bring more vengeance by Al Qaeda down on us if he releases these men to plan their evil schemes. I believe President Obama has no choice. He must either try these men, according to the law of our land, or he must release them. Holding them indefinitely without charges goes against everything we stand for, everything we hold up to the world as a light in the darkness. If he does not release them, the terrorists will have won! They will have shown us to be weak indeed, unable to hold to our values under the pressure of threats. It is a pity that this issue has been so politicized by the right-wing attack machine. President Obama cannot win, no matter which way he goes. God forbid we suffer another attack that involves any of these men! But if it should happen, Barack Obama is the one who will be crucified! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 9:22 am When To Give Terrorists What They Want And When Not To Heh heh! I liked your reference to Chris Rock… Every time a new sex scandal breaks in Washington, I always pray, “Please don’t let it be a Democrat, please…” Most times, it isn’t! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 3:24 pm Pepe, I bought that when it was published last fall. Loved it! What an amazing man! I just hope the Senate will remember all his work when they are busy stripping down the health care bill! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 3:20 pm Ditto! I have bookmarked it and plan to read the whole thing. There also seems to be some good links from that site too. Thanks, Tiger! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 12:32 pm Go to the “welcome” article all the way at the bottom and I’ll meet you there! Tiger, you are welcome to join us! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 12:08 pm Thanks there, sweetie. I do remember this from my history courses waaaay back when! Thanks for jogging my too-slow gray matter! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 12:05 pm What color are we at right now?? Do you have your plastic sheeting and duct tape handy? » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 12:03 pm Thanks, Tiger! This could be a “first” for the Planet, a collaborative effort! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 11:59 am Sue, I have to reply to my own post since there is no “reply” option below yours. I think this is a great idea. Let’s move to the Authors’ Cafe to discuss. I’ll go there now and wait for you. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 30, 2009 @ 11:46 amComments Posted By Emerald1943
