OMG (no pun intended), but this is a hoot! https://planetpov.com/2009/12/21/gods-blog-12-21-09/ » Posted By boomer1949 On January 4, 2010 @ 11:44 am Of course. He could say it’s a beautiful, blue sky, cloudless day, and ooops, the critics would say he was wrong. It’d make no difference. The President could be 150% positive and spot on, yet the GOP would denounce him for being so optimistic. Anything, anything at all to disagree. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 7:35 pm Guns, Knives, Hammers and Bricks* OMG – I’ve been off since Christmas Eve — how scary is that? I could soooo not work, on the other hand, I’m not sure how I would support myself, but then again, one simply just doesn’t want to do it anymore. btw – morning whats — I think I may have figured out the damn time zones — heh! » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 5:19 pm Yea! Without going into a lot of detail, may I suggest you read all of the comments on this thread. Self-explanatory, but important reading non-the-less. btw, I wasn’t blowing you off, however your email never came through (Inbox or Spam) so I was unable to reply. 🙁 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 5:15 pm Ah, so the kilt thing is true? » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 5:07 pm In what respect Charlie, ooops KQuark? Both topics generated mucho discourse — which in the end is good — especially if thought and reflection is provoked. Although I didn’t contribute much on the threads, I did enjoy reading everything. As I wrote to abby early this morning, I could hear the sizzle of the keyboards before most of us saW the sunrise. Excellent weekend all y’yall and I’m not even from the South. Must I really go to work tomorrow? Yuck! » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 5:05 pm hi khirad, I’ve actually seen both movies…”Capote” and “Infamous”. I thought about the two actors (and I’ve been around long enough to remember the real TC) and, I must go with Toby Jones. Seymour Hoffman did an excellent job, but Toby Jones’ performance, IMHO, was extraordinary. He nailed Truman Capote, had him down pat. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 4:53 pm How appalling that she was set up…but for God’s sake why? Why would anyone want to play Mafia in North Carolina? Because they wouldn’t stand a chance in Jersey or New York? Puhleeze… As for your friend, her family, and you…keep talking to Mom, keep talking. kesmarn must be working, but I would hope a tracheotomy is better than a ventilator. But, what do I know, I’m only a “nurse wannabe” way past prime time. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 4:44 pm Thanks Em, Collectively, may our prayers be answered for your friend’s mother. boomer » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 3:59 pm Em, I think those who need “anger management” classes are the least likely to seek them. Why? Because they think their anger is right, justified, and everyone else is wrong. These attitudes also reflect the influence the faux MSM (primarily because the faux MSM targets them) has on these people. It never ceases to amaze me that these folks actually fall for and believe the nonsense, hatred, bigotry, and general dissent promoted (however subtle) by the likes of Limpbow, Heeny, O’Really, Scarburow, et.al. I will admit, however, that most of the “converts’ were walking a fine line to begin with, all they needed was a push from the money-making, muck-raking, self-making Yahoos pretending to be journalists at their finest. The leeches are only attracted to the weakest and the followers — not those who think for themselves. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 3:57 pm Hugs, » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 3:37 pm There is a more recent version (remake) of the movie, and this is the one I have seen. I apologize, the title of the most recent is “Infamous” and not “In Cold Blood”…Toby Jones as Truman Capote and Sandra Bullock as Lee. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capote_%28film%29 “Capote” was similar, but not as well written or acted. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 3:33 pm Emerald, Would you please cut and paste this not as a reply, but as a comment so it will appear at the top of the page? I know I am not the only one who has been following and concerned. Still hoping things take a turn for the better. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 3:18 pm Got that right. Did you know they think they caught him? She rented a room in her home to him, so if this is correct, it wasn’t random. The victim knew her attacker, and he…well who knows why he did what he did. 85? There’s absolutely no excuse. Period. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 2:41 pm Who among us has read “In Cold Blood” or seen the movie? I’ve read Capote’s book three times and watched the movie at least twice. This true story was over forty years ago…
What makes this any different than the person who brutally attacked the 85 year old Mother of Emerald’s friend? And no, the docs don’t expect her to make it. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 1:30 pm cl, I also had this thought…we must first get the Faux News folks, Rush folks, Hannity folks, and last but not least the Beck folks, to stop preaching anger and fear. What they do, and the fact they earn a living from it, is not only irresponsible, but also completely insane. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 1:25 pm Yeppers, and there are those that do anyway. Go figure. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 1:20 pm I’ve been thinking about FeloniousMonk as well. Wish he’d pop in — it’s been several weeks now. Has anyone heard from HITO? She is the one who brought me here, and she hasn’t been around for weeks…and yes I’m concerned. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 1:18 pm AdLib, Did you read Emerald’s post in Speaker’s Corner about her friend’s 85 year old mother? Heartbreaking, truly heartbreaking — and the guy didn’t even use a gun — he used a brick, baseball bat, or one of those other “blunt force trauma” causing weapons. 85 — who would do such a thing? » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 12:49 pm Woo, Hoo!!! » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 12:44 pm Way to go choicelady! 🙂 I’ve been wondering about you and where you’ve been. Glad you popped in on this one. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 12:11 pm My dear AdLib, You have mail 🙂 boomer » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 10:13 am Didn’t the “drive a vehicle into a crowd” scenario happen in Denmark recently? » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 8:10 am Oh, yes, I’m up and have been reading. 🙂 It’s 8:11 am EST and 4 degrees here in Columbus, OH USA. Just started some laundry and am still trying to come up with $400 to get my car out of the repair shop. That said, and since I don’t have wheels, I’ll be around here at the Planet most of the day. And as I wrote a few minutes ago — it’s your opinion and that’s what we’re supposed to be doing here. And, if someone disagrees with you, the disagreement is with the opinion and not the person. We all love you abby,and none of it is personal by any stretch of the imagination. 🙂 jgammello@sbcglobal.net — if you’d ever like to chat. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 5:18 am Oh no, I didn’t think you were trying to stir the pot. You just expressed your opinion, which is what we’re supposed to be doing around here. I just meant that gun control is such a hot topic to begin with…ya’know? Rest assured that if you were over at that other place, the comments would be very nasty and impolite. 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 5:05 am I’m here now or do you want to know where I live? 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 5:00 amComments Posted By boomer1949
