A GOP Anti-Valentine to Women

CL, they kept us from the vote until 1920. Up til then they had control over our bodies because they made all the rules. It hasn’t been that easy for them since and it certainly won’t be again. That little pill with the right to vote is more power than they can imagine. I guess they need to see the blast to believe.

Coveark, I see it that way, too. I also see it as male dominance and the Catholic Church has lead in that for centuries. Unfortuniately for them, it ain’t that way no more, boys! If they need to see how far we have come from that, just keep this crap up and they will see it in November!

OMG, CHER!! That is him! I can’t believe you found him! I have to save this and show it to the hubby! He grew up watching him, too. You made me look him up on the net and it says he started in KC,MO in 1958! Yep, that would be me at 8yrs old watching. You have made my night, girlfriend! Vampira, now was she the one that is in the Ed Wood movie? Oh, Cher, I am still laughing that you found Gregory Graves!! Apparently the guy still isn’t buried!

Cher, I forgot about that doll! I do remember that show. I am glad I brought wonderful memories to your mind tonight. I watched all those show, too, with mom. Every Saturday night I would make a pallet next to her bed on the floor and we would watch a local show on in Kansas City called “Gregory Graves”. It would start with him coming out from behind a screeching coffin door leaning against the wall. He had bad vampire makeup and told jokes that only adults really got (so many went over my head). He was the host for the Saturday Night horror movie. Saw them all from that safe spot next to mom’s bed.

You are right, Cher, there are morons that will never leave FOXNews. I just think that the ones with more smarts are starting to maybe still watch but not believe as much and not follow their directions. The Rebugs Party are the ones that have to live with the monster or get a pitchfork. 😉

Cher, I still can’t get into a shower at a motel without thinking of that movie! The Birds was a scary movie but I won a contest at school writing a story about why the birds reacted that way.
You poor little thing and that blackbird! Sure it wasn’t a crow? They are aggressive guys. Your mom was probably as scared as you until she realized what had happened. Cher, creative children are never easy. But, are usually very rewarding. I have a feeling you fit in there.

LOL! Kes, that is a given! Mansion is always there and Moon after dad goes to work. However, Mansion isn’t really a Hitchcock fan but he loves Lassie. He really sits up and stares at the TV if she is on. He was really into the Westminster Dog Show last night.
You remember that Nurse show, too? I remember that girl locking the door and then realizing she had locked the killer in with her because…..the Nurse pulls off the wig and it is he!!!! MANSION!! Mommy is scared!

Kes, as I got older I became a real fan of Hitchcock. I was scared of him when I was young but I watch his Alfred Hitchcock Hour because my mom loved him. I would lay on a blanket pallet beside her bed and watch with the blanket pulled up to my eyes to cover when I couldn’t look. The scarest I still remember is the one about the Nurse. That one got me! Scared the hell out of me! They show his old show on one of the cable channels. I keep looking to see if that one is going to be on. I got to watch it and see if I still get scared. The only thing is I don’t have Mom to crawl in bed with now!!

Cher, I liked that FOXNews. I think they created a monster and now are stuck with it. I don’t think the village people are coming with clubs and pitchforks but instead are just turning away. It will be interesting, although I won’t watch, how FOX plays the run of Santorum since they have been for Romney.

Cher, I know I have told you this before but maybe I need to again. I don’t care if all you have to report is a hang nail, I still enjoy hearing from you! You do an incredible job. I know all about frustration with the ole’ computer. Your dedication to the cause is much appreciated!

BullyProgs – Tea Party Tactics by Progressives Kill Single Payer in CA

CL, I’m sorry that something you were hoping to get done was stomped on and tossed aside because people don’t know how to negotate in their own best interest. From all the other comments already made on your article, I really can’t add anything more. I just wanted you to know I read your work and as usual am impressed with your thoughts. I hope the issue can be brought up again in Calif and people will have clearer heads and control themselves in getting the work done.

They Rang My Bell

In the Salty City there were a lot of long dresses in my days there. But, others dressed like other girls were in those days. They did wear a lot of make-up and of course big hair. My daughters still go back to visit friends there and they always tell me when they come home, “Mom, they still have big hair there!”

» Posted By SallyT On February 5, 2012 @ 12:56 am

Gee, Khirad, when I lived there they wore those long dresses with ruffles. Things have changed!

Khirad, I had an aunt that became a Jehovah’s Witness. We don’t know why, when or where but she did. I would go visit her because she had been my favorite aunt before she converted. She would pull out the bible and tell me it says this in there and not that and this and that. She could do it without taking a breath! I’d just say, “Auntie, I love ya but I just don’t get it. And, there is no way I am giving up Christmas presents!”

KQ, your poor wife’s family! That was terrible! I never got a burning cross, Mormons don’t like crosses, but I did get a lot of notes left in my mailbox. And, KQ, the only reason I openned the door was because I had just moved in and I didn’t have a peek hole in the door yet. That was something I got as soon as I could get someone to install it!

» Posted By SallyT On February 5, 2012 @ 12:20 am

I never got Missionaries there. In that neighborhood I was suppose to already be one. They sent the tribe in for me. I don’t think any of their mothers would allow a young man to come to my door. I did have a reputation. I was a divorced woman!

P.S. Kes, that is a bigger picture up there. Do you see my Mansion now?

» Posted By SallyT On February 4, 2012 @ 10:12 pm

Hey, KT, that made my day if I was able to make you laugh. That was my intent. With so much other stuff going on, I just wanted to make someone laugh. I am glad it was you!

Kes, it is always good to have a look out! My girlfriends bought me one of those rubber chickens and hung it on my front door as a joke once. I kept it and would somethings go out and mow my lawn with it belted around my waist. At times it could be funny living there but other times, especially the problems my girls had at their schools, wasn’t. You were either one of them or you were a bad girl. My daughters were neither. However, they handled it much better than I did.

Believe it or not, they do have a club! They also associate at the bars which when I was there were private clubs. Because Mormons don’t drink, they only allowed liquor to be sold at private clubs. You paid $10 to join the club for a year and you could drink. The good thing about it was that they could not have an open bottle of liquor behind the bar. So, each drink had to have a full mini bottle in it and the bottle thrown away. You did get a good drink that way. After the Olymbics and needing more tourist, Utah did away with that law. They can use regular bottles and shots. Before they changed the law, you could bring your own bottle of wine (bought at the state liquor store) into a resturant but if you didn’t finish it, you had to leave it there. It was a strange place in so many ways!

Thank you, Kalima. We do get the occasional Jehovah’ Witness here in Portland. Of course there were a few in SLC but just a few. Now, I never thought about answering the door and speaking German. I don’t speak German but I could make something up. I’ll have to try that.

I’m sorry, I find many issues in the Mormon religion that I cannot understand. But, they are free to believe as such. You will get a different view of the religion if you live in UT (Sundance is not a real UT). You will see the control it has on the people. Yes, they do believe in caring for the poor. BUT, only the Mormon poor. Yes they fast, to cleanse the system, and use the money saved for the poor. That money is giving to the Ward for them to distribute to those they find “fit” of the need. They have food storage and are to only share, when the end comes, with fellow Mormons. They are instructed to use all means to not give to others once the big one hits. Maybe this explains Romney better. I guess maybe taking care of your own is acceptable but I believe charity should be given where needed regardless if they believe or don’t.

AdLib, sorry for the mix up. It is a 100 million trust fund Romney set up for his sons. But, here is the article by David Cay Johnson wrote about it.

» Posted By SallyT On February 1, 2012 @ 10:49 pm

AdLib, I had to correct my original comment to say he gave each of his kids 100 million! Wow! Anyway, I guess David Johnson is going through Romney’s tax returns with a fine comb. Going to dig up a lot, I am sure. Stuff the rest of us can’t even imagine. This man will not be able to relate to the needs of the people that are so far beneath his earning rate. Well, people that work for their earnings not live off their earnings from interest their money earns.

» Posted By SallyT On February 1, 2012 @ 10:31 pm

AdLib, did you watch Lawrence O’Donnell tonight? They discussed how Romney had worked the system to get 100 million dollars into each his kids accounts without paying very much in taxes. I understood it like Lawrence that you could give $10,000 a year to a child and not pay taxes but Romney got around it. If you didn’t see it, you should. Another thing to add to Romney’s list.

Oh, I guess that 10,000 a yr was changed to 13,000 a yr. Gee, I was never in the position to give or receive.

AB, if Brother Romney comes to your door it will probably be to check your food storage and advise you not to let Gingrich in. Beware of guys in black slacks, white shirt, black tie and carrying two books that come to your door.

A 40,000 year old pinky finger tip! That is just amazing! There is still so much to discover and analyze and debate. Science is amazing!
