So, I will not enter the debate by adding my two cents I will, however, tell you that this thread is going to be smokin’ today, and I can already hear the sizzle from the keyboards. I have three books from the library stacked on my desk, and I doubt I will open any of them; I will have plenty to read right here. 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 3:28 am Vote Now for PlanetPOV’s Top Posts of 2009! “…and a partridge in a pear tree…” Oh darn, that was last month. 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 7, 2010 @ 7:08 am I doubt it 🙂 …and I have 3 cats…Bailey, Lucy, and Kenzie! » Posted By boomer1949 On January 6, 2010 @ 4:31 pm Hey…scroll down a few. I left a video for you. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 6, 2010 @ 4:27 pm Woof, woof…
» Posted By boomer1949 On January 6, 2010 @ 4:21 pm Yes I agree. But isn’t it fun just to think of things? » Posted By boomer1949 On January 6, 2010 @ 4:19 pm abby, K7 commented a few posts up about not going negative toward HP; however, it’s a blast to toss out ideas. I can never think of anything creative, but for some reason E-nuff just popped into my pea brain. 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 6, 2010 @ 4:17 pm That’s really good abs! 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 6, 2010 @ 2:18 pm We could put an ad on Nuffington Toast…just kidding! Had E-nuffington? » Posted By boomer1949 On January 6, 2010 @ 2:17 pm Cher, Can’t remember to whom I should give credit, but “Nuffington Toast” had me in stitches. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 4:28 pm Hey Jan, Welcome to the Planet. We’re so glad you’re here. Actually, and as scary as it may seem, I trust the likes of Stewart, Colbert, Olberman, and Maddow, more than the MSM, including HP. In addition, PBS and NPR have earned my trust. Stewart & Colbert may be comedy, but at least they tell the truth and are funny while they do. As for the rest? These so-called professional journalists [and I mean CBS, NBC, ABC, Faux News (okay a stretch), CNN (a stretch as well)…all of the so called professionals] need to revisit why they became journalists in the first place. It’s neither rocket science nor a tabloid-rating-money-making profession. It’s about facts, not opinions. Stop treating the American public like they’re a bunch of toddlers unable to think for themselves. Poor Walter Cronkite. I’m sure this man has been spinning in his grave for weeks. The entire lot of them, those arrogant enough to think the even come close to Mr. Cronkite’s stature and respect from the public, should be embarrassed and ashamed to think they even come close. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 4:18 pm The Infantilization of America Me as well kesmarn. Goodnight all — See everyone tomorrow! » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 9:36 pm Her name is Maggie Simpson . » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 9:27 pm “Good Job!” is another phrase that gripes my behind. My daughter uses it with my grandkids ALL the time; all the kid did was stand up for goodness sakes. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 9:16 pm Fer sure, but do you have your receipt? » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 9:11 pm Yes, I didn’t like the “cartoon me” I created. Besides, I’ve always wanted to be blonde. 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 9:06 pm Many young people are ill-prepared because they’ve never been taught to be prepared (as in facing reality). Their parents have hovered over them like helicopters, Helicopter Parents. I found this article, In re: Loco Parents written by Margaret Gutman Klosko, where she not only discusses Helicopter Parenting, but also the evolution of Lawmower Parenting and Blackhawk Parenting. It’s no wonder we have young adults unable to think for themselves. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 8:25 pm They’ll return it to Super WalMart? » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 8:14 pm Great post kesmarn! 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 8:12 pm Yes, that one made me wince…remember those days very well myself. My friend and I are always discussing how things were when we raised our kids and how things are now when our kids are raising their kids. We just look at each other, shake our heads, and wonder if our kids realize they survived the “dark ages” and actually made it to adulthood. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 8:09 pm Em, Way to go! I’ve thought for a very long time that lobbying and lobbyists should be illegal. Regular folks can’t compete with the corporate money machines and are consistently being thrown under the big business bus. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 7:13 pm bito, But the other day was fun wasn’t it? 🙂 Except I missed a bunch, and now it’s gone. I believe we had one yesterday, and I found it amusing that the nicer we were, the more uncomfortable “it” was — and then poof! » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 10:01 am Oh my dear, I certainly don’t misunderstand. I believe you are most sincere, generous, and extremely well-informed. Me, the only thing I have going for me is my age 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 9:56 am Hi abby, I’ve not been here much longer than you, and I feel exactly the same way. Although, I’ve expressed concern about my inadequacies, by not being able to keep up with our more eloquent and well-informed contributors, our Planeteer family has been beyond supportive. I view this as an opportunity for me to learn new things, think outside the proverbial box, and just hang out with some very, very nice people, yourself included. I consider it an honor to be in the company of everyone here at the Planet. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 7:02 am Oh Emerald, I am so, so sorry. Did I read earlier they caught the creep and, if so, what’s going on with him? Absolutely, positively, abominable! » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 2:52 pm What a terrible thing to happen. Anyone who would do such a thing has no heart, soul, or conscience. Wouldn’t you think intruder has a Grandmother? Jeeze. And I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. I remember I was traveling on business a while back. I stopped in a convenience store one morning for coffee and there were 2 clerks behind the counter — a young kid and an elderly gentleman. Well, the kid was speaking to and treating the elderly man like he was a piece of dirt; so disrespectful. It went on for about 5 minutes and, believe it or not, there were 6 or 7 other customers waiting in line, including me. Finally, I couldn’t stand it anymore and practically jumped over the counter. Told the kid he was being disrespectful, abusive, and rude. He had the balls to deny his behavior. All the while I’m telling the kid what for, everyone else stood there nodding their heads like bobble-head dolls. The kid kept arguing with me and I slammed my fist on the counter, he shut up, looked me in the eye, and I asked, “Do you have a Grandfather?” He answered yes, and then I asked him “Would you speak to your grandfather that way?” He looked like a deer caught in headlights — I calmly said “I didn’t think so.” And the bobble-heads kept on bobbling, yet none of them said a word. I think if I’d had a baseball bat, I’d have knocked him upside the head. » Posted By boomer1949 On January 1, 2010 @ 5:18 pm Dark Matter (WIMPS) the other Holy Grail in Particle Physics whats, Creatively cute 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 2, 2010 @ 4:41 am New Year’s Day Ushers in Marriage Equality don’t forget to add these… http://www.thirdwayblog.com/images/1600/AlkaSeltzerFizz.jpg » Posted By boomer1949 On January 1, 2010 @ 1:50 pm headaches & hangovers — recovery takes longer the older one gets 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On January 1, 2010 @ 1:48 pm Un(der)reported News—Year in Review Pepe, Yes, Jennings was a good egg — eh? » Posted By boomer1949 On January 3, 2010 @ 1:00 pmComments Posted By boomer1949
