Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me know how I can help - I'll be more than happy to! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I would immediately spray your computer with alcohol, and then never touch it again without gloved hands. LOl, just kidding, Tink. Run some diagnostic software and see which virus/worm you have. Should be entertaining. And I don't think you got it from a profile check here. If so, it'd be happening to lots and lots of people. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Nah. You're in Florida! But you'll be here soon enough, I bet, and then you'll find out what heaven really is! LOL, it was a blast hanging with you last night. And yes, you have a great heart....but I knew that anyway. You made me laugh so much, and that was sooooo dear and needed and appreciated. Much love to you, and keep your neck warm. And we have a special jump planned...I'm keeping you to that, darling Dove. But I really want to know how Max knew of that little place....and if they ever fixed the chair runner. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Yup. Sent into oblivion. No-one even knew. It was gone like a thief in the night. Now-you-see-it-now-you-don't kinda thing. Uh hunh. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

A funny article. Dunno about the veracity or leanings of the site, but a funny article nonetheless....Here. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

O.K., who's Michael, and what plastic surgery did he have? And why did he have plastic surgery? And how come you know he had plastic surgery? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Congratulations, my friend. May the happiness you feel right now extend, grow larger and more solid throughout the years. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooooooooooooooooo! And go on and do the happy dance already. It's a good thing! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Thanks. I would've without your permission anyway . Cool part of this country. The point I was making is that Kerry is politically expedient, and getting his knickers twisted because his records are being questioned in what will prove to be a most contentious run for the presidency, and what will prove to be a difficult next 4 years. You stated in another post to research, and that's what I did. And what I will do all the way down the line. While it's true that I don't have combat experience, I do have a brain, and I will look, read, learn and listen. I will think, and project, and make determinations on not just what I'm fed via soundbytes, but look at the whole picture. I was not fortunate enough to be able to attend college; no money, and no scholarships available for me - and so I'll do again what I've done in the past. But it doesn't give me a disadvantage if I spend time doing research and not simply relying on someone's opinion because "they were there". That research provides me a wider understanding, and the ability to have hindsight, as well, which is not something anyone can have in the moment. That, imho, is a distinct advantage over reliance on someone's word. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Qualified or not in your eyes, I have a vote. Are you suggesting that I not research and look into things and make up my own mind about things because I'm "less qualified" that someone else? Because that, my friend, leads to a most slippery, elitist slope.... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I wholeheartedly agree. I don't know anything about the test, but I can say a prayer and send you some serious vibes. So... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~VIBESVIBESVIBESVIBBITYVIBESFORYOU[/RED]~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And a hug for you, too. Ed, you rock! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

You're absolutely correct, Mark. He was in harm's way. But his actions post war - the throwing of the medals over the fence (but not his....), the testimony he gave (Winter Soldier), and his willingness to denegrate the war - while our men were still in harm's way - and the use the Viet Cong made of the testimony in furtherance of the torture of our POWs - that's more what I was commenting on. Add to that his deplorable voting record cutting spending for our Vets, and you have, imho, a duplicity obvious to anyone willing to look at more than the flash Kerry presents. It then becomes more of an issue when someone else uses his records to demonstrate this duplicity and he stands there and whines about it. That is more of what I was commenting about, not the Purple Hearts. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Drat. Caught out again. I suppose in one of my many moments of rash, unthinking, callous posting, I musta made a boo-boo. The Mother Theresa image is blown to bits. Kablammo. All that work, all that effort at duplicity. To be caught by one post. Time to change my username again. Oh well. Like someone once told me, it only hurts til you take a pill. Then you can sleep til the next pill time Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Kewlio. Maybe handling things via pm would be good, though. There has been, as quade said, a whole lot of weirdness lately. Maybe it's just a natural tendency that will go in time. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Um, right. Isn't Kerry the one who runs around saying "I'm a war hero", when he lost less than 5 days (IIRC) for all three purple hearts combined? Isn't he the one who voted to cut defense spending many times in his public service, had his Winter Soldier testimony used by the VietCong to torture our guys that were POW? This is the same Kerry who pushed for trade normalizations with Viet Nam, and then his cousin's company got the $905mm real estate development contract (or something like that...)? I suppose comparing his voting record to his words may be a problem, but only because he tends to switch hit. He authored part of the Patriot Act, IIRC, and is now saying it's a problem; like him voting for regime change in Iraq and 1998 and 2002, but now saying he never did, or didn't want that. Geesh...at least Dean understood that people can check things out a whole lot more now than ever before, via the internet.... Well...like GM says, it's a long way to Tipperary....oh, wait, Kerry's not Irish, like he's claimed. Sigh.... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Drat. Found this post too late. Just came in from dinner with her, Gawain, and VanillaSkyGirl. Sushi. 'Course, I don't eat sushi; I had tempura. But we sat and chatted and nattered and played and had a great time.... If I'd'a known, I'd'a said "you, Dovie, are d shiznit" on your behalf....sorry! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Um, Tink, are you referring to me? Cause if so, I'd suggest you bring it to me via pm. I'm not mean. I am not mean spirited. I don't go out of my way to shoot people down. And JB, the few times I've gotten a bee in my bonnet, you betcha I'd say it to their face - and have. I am pretty much the same on as off line, as those who know me will attest. OTOH, Tink, if you weren't referring to me, then I'd suggest maybe you'd take it to pms to those who you are referring to, or let it go... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I would bet I'm a bit older than you, Tink, and I don't worry obsessively or use my clothing to open doors. I pee in public potties, I kiss my friends when I see them. I've done the shake hands thing, and I've even been bowling in bowling allies with rental bowling balls and rental shoes! I don't have herpes, hepititis, or any other communicable disease. And never had. I've had my share of colds, but then, such is life. I work with the public, and never know who or what I am dealing with. It's all right, I don't get sick... So do you have a supressed immune system, or is mine just really, really strong? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Steve, my deepest sympathies are with you. You are not far from my heart, and should you and/or your family need any assistence in Palm Springs, I would be more than willing to do what I can for you. Rest easy knowing that your brother is out of physical pain, resting now in a way he was unable to here, and know that he is near the Creator; and know that he now is perfect, and made whole again, and happy in a way not accomplished on this earth. Blessed be, Steve. You are in my prayers. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Good edit, Tink. Thanks! As for "who" it was, yes, you're prolly right. But why not let the folks answer without saying "who".... Anyway, you learned how to edit...and that's a great skill to have here. LOL! ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Tink, maybe if you edited out the name of the canopy you're talking about, people might be willing to answer the poll more forthrightly, without feeling like they are taking sides in an issue which may or may not be real.... I think it would be nice of you to do that, don't you? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Tom, I was aware of the "purging" of the voter records, as well...all the way out here in CA. And I was equally aware of Gore's attempts - as Kennedy pointed out - to "purge" the soldiers' votes, as well. Seems to me that the story wasn't quashed....

Nature abhors a vacuum... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

That poor cow. I mean, really, think about it. Just there, minding it's own business, chewing it's cud, ruminating about the flavor of the grass this year....when out of the corner of it's eye, it sees this really big thing coming out of the sky. Because it's a bovine, and because it's chewing grass, it can't think quickly. Just as it decides maybe it should move or something....thumpsmack onto it's back comes this whistling human attached to something...and then the human goes thumpsmack into the ground. I betcha , if the cow could think, it woulda thought "turn about is fair play". But that was a funny video....no doubt. Poor slow moving bovine.

It might make those passengers feel "better", but I think it might make the tm's a tad concerned.... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaahoooooooooooooooooooooo! Well, not because you have pneumonia, but because you don't have TB. P'monia you can survive (I've done it several times already...) with just some meds and rest...TB is a tad more complicated than that. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY for you!!
