Ha Ha » Posted By SueInCa On February 24, 2010 @ 4:36 pm I know this is important to everyone so I looked it up, the sport was invented in late medieval Scotland around 1541. So now you all know LOL » Posted By SueInCa On February 24, 2010 @ 4:34 pm Now that was a great one on the fly. Kudos. » Posted By SueInCa On February 24, 2010 @ 4:26 pm Well excuse the hell out of me bito, those Italians must have thought I was just illiterate in the great sport of bocce LMAO » Posted By SueInCa On February 24, 2010 @ 4:22 pm No, to the bullseye in the center. you knock out the other color if you can. » Posted By SueInCa On February 24, 2010 @ 4:19 pm I think just sweep. Hey you all, I thought it was interesting, my daughter thought I was around the bend on that one LOL. » Posted By SueInCa On February 24, 2010 @ 4:00 pm I played bocce ball in Martinez CA, in fact was on a championship team for one year. You roll a yellow ball(pingpong size) down a court of seashells(grated fine) then you take a red ball heavy and about the size of a large grapefruit and try to get closest to the yellow little ping pong ball. And let me tell you those players were worse than football or basketball pros. Do not get in their way and do not touch the ball! They played for keeps LOL » Posted By SueInCa On February 24, 2010 @ 3:56 pm It is up to 1.114mm » Posted By SueInCa On February 24, 2010 @ 3:47 pm Have you ever played bocce ball or lawn bowling? The premise is similar to those. I watched it last week Sweden v. USA correction it was Switzerland. big diff, huh? » Posted By SueInCa On February 24, 2010 @ 3:45 pm Bito For It? I thought they were against it » Posted By SueInCa On February 24, 2010 @ 1:36 pm Thanks Adlib, CA is the front runner with the most people calling and our Senators are for it LOL » Posted By SueInCa On February 24, 2010 @ 1:25 pm Another informative and insightful piece Khirad. To allow religion to rule a government is antithema to us, however the religious right nearly had that with the regime of Dubya. They made great strides into various government agencies to favor evangelical religious groups for grants and such, while turning down Muslims, Jewish and Liberal Protestant groups for grants. If they ever reach the pinnacle of power again, they will try to finish off what they have started. » Posted By SueInCa On March 3, 2010 @ 11:07 am Find that poster! Our group is sorely needed and we need others of like mind. Did you post this in the TB section? If not, it should be there. Great find » Posted By SueInCa On February 23, 2010 @ 1:11 pm Hey that’s what friends are for. Maybe I should talk my brother in to going with you. He lives in Ojai but teaches Tai Chi in LA. It seems that now we are living in a smaller condo and have downsized from a 1700 square foot house with a 10k sq lot, we are alot calmer, not so uptight with so much to do. Sometimes we get bored, but not too often. We find things to do all the time now that do not cost so much. We live in the foothills of the Sierras so there is plenty of nature to trek through. We spend alot of time with our grandson and he does not require alot of money to entertain. Funny we are back in to the social scene a bit more. I have a high school friend and we get together once a month to visit, make jewelry, play with clay and just have a good time. We also spend alot more time with our friends and family these days. All without spending alot of green. » Posted By SueInCa On February 22, 2010 @ 9:18 pm Great piece Cher, it gives me alot to think about and obviously alot to ponder here in the comments. I like your idea of the one woman show at the federal building, but you should probably try to find a partner like CL said, to have your back. If I were in SoCAl, i would join you. » Posted By SueInCa On February 22, 2010 @ 8:50 pm TRP » Posted By SueInCa On February 22, 2010 @ 8:47 pm Have you read “Why The Religious Right is Wrong?” by Dr. Robin Meyers? If not, grab a copy. It is an excellent book as well. » Posted By SueInCa On February 22, 2010 @ 8:28 pm CL I must say, though, this article and the comments have given me further insight into where we have gone “off the rails”. I can remember back in the 70’s that if my husband and I found ourselves home on a Friday or Saturday night instead of out socializing, we felt very deprived. We got together to play cards, go dancing, have an impromptu party, go to the movies, bowling and on and on. As we moved in to the 80’s and 90’s that social life dwindled. Our careers became more demanding, the kids and their social life became more time consuming, the school activities etc. I know I traveled quite extensively sometimes gone for a week at a time during my career, but we were making money. We told ourselves it was to better ourselves, but it was really consumerism, two cars(always late models), a house, the best clothes, exotic vcations, all the trappings of suburbia. One thing I did have was a husband who was very involved in all aspects of the kids lives which made it much easier for me to build a career. The last home I lived in where the neighbors actually came out in the evening and shared their day and companionship was in 1980 and we were all barely scraping by with new house payments, child care etc. It seems, though, that right about that time, or maybe later into the 80’s our streets became less safe for our children as well. Kidnappings, children being snatched from their front yards, gangs forming in the cities then spreading the “glamourous” lifestyle to the suburbs. The world, it seems, got just a little more dangerous, which could also account for the marked change in socializing or letting your children play outside to all hours. All I know is that I want to see change and do believe we are the change we want to see. This site has been an inspiration to me with all the thoughful and truly concerned posters and I truly believe we will do something great in our aspirations to form this activist group. » Posted By SueInCa On February 22, 2010 @ 8:26 pm Abuse of Power – Tale of a Red State He is Italian and worked for 25 years for what is now the DEA. He was assigned to Mexico and Turkey. He was also a law enforcement officer in Las Vegas in 1957. » Posted By SueInCa On February 21, 2010 @ 11:49 am P.S. I wonder if the Mayans are not correct about the end of the calendar. These types of things make me really wonder. » Posted By SueInCa On February 21, 2010 @ 10:58 am No offense to Cubs fans, but they are not worth it. 84mm for a spring training facility? No way, if the Cubs organiation needs it, they can pay for it. I have to agree with you 6 weeks is not justification. » Posted By SueInCa On February 21, 2010 @ 10:56 am Excellent Javaz, just excellent. Number 2 has the rightwing religious written all over it and number 4 has Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council in Louisiana written all over it. He proposed the same program in Louisiana. Can’t remember if it has been passed in to law yet. Your candidate for McCain’s seat has past ties with Jack Abramoff. What I cannot figure out is why they are unleashing alledged wrong doers back in to the communities ie, Juvenile Hall unless they are giving vigilantes the open door to hunt these kids down. Your homeless population is going to explode if the mentally challenged are let out on the street, ask any Californian who is not a fan of Ronald Ray-Gun. All of this is a formula for lawlessness in the streets. People will take it out on the minorities which is exactly what these guys want. Of course they will never look to the very corporations who hire the illegals for less pay than a US citizen will take. Perhaps when their work is done, they are marked and Sheriff Joe goes out on his tours of duty. All in all it is a bleak situation and I am amazed this has not received nationwide coverage, wait, no I am not, our media is owned by the corporations. » Posted By SueInCa On February 21, 2010 @ 10:32 am Vox Populi AfterChat – 2-19-2010 Hayworth was involved with Abramoff, nuff said » Posted By SueInCa On February 19, 2010 @ 10:43 pm If only to make those two work harder and to water down the vote…………… » Posted By SueInCa On February 19, 2010 @ 10:38 pm I know, let it not bleed over the border. » Posted By SueInCa On February 19, 2010 @ 10:32 pm I did, what an eye opener. How are they keeping the lid on the happenings in the midwest? I can hardly believe some of the things I read, but I know they are true. My God what is this country coming to? » Posted By SueInCa On February 19, 2010 @ 10:31 pm If you want, you can put it under my name. I am not bound by AZ jurisdiction. » Posted By SueInCa On February 19, 2010 @ 10:29 pmComments Posted By SueInCa
I wish I had an answer for you other than to say I will say a prayer each day for your safekeeping. CL is right though stay away from the Pentecostal or Evangelical churches. They may give some things up, but they will want your soul in return. Catholic churches also have priests who are familiar with the streets and the community and could have some help for you. Whatever you do, stay close to the libraries and the cities so you can stay in touch and look for work. Have you thought of trying to leave Tennessee? I know it is not the best time to ask but depending on what you are qualified to do, you might start looking outside your geographical area. I will keep you in my thoughts.
Based on your statements about the 60’s and what I now know about the right, I would believe alot of the stirring of the pot against the draft more than likely came from conservatives who did not want to fight themselves? They are hawkish about war but when it comes to them serving, they always have a “medical issue” to keep themselves at home. On the othe hand I am sure there were alot of purebreds who were truly against the war, just as most of us have been all our lives. It would be curious to reinstate the draft and see what happens……………..
When Ray-gun let all the patients in the state facilities here go, our homeless problem swelled exponentially. They are in those facilities because their families cannot manage them, if let out, they will be unmanageble. Some will be victims of crime and some without monitoring their meds will be the criminals themselves. Jebus, what a sad state of affairs.
