There is good bacteria and bad bacteria - if they come out with a bad bacteria soap I might use it, but ANTIbacteria sounds like it kills it all. Like throwing the baby out with the wash. (By the way - where did that saying every come from?)

Mr. McCain - happy birthday and many more. And please don’t take it persoanl when you are out voted at the polls.

Pro-life is not ALWAYS a religious belief. I voted for the right to choose and I absolutely believe that life beings at conception. When you plant a seed it becomes a living thing (barring natural disasters). But that is MY belief (I do not belong to any religion or church) and a belief that I have let my children know about. One of my daughters had an abortion and I stood behind her, took care of her, cried with her. If I want to have the right to be respected in my lifestyle - I have to respect the right of others to choose their own. Abortion - like prostitution - has been around since the beginning of time. There has been found ancient Eygptian writings that tell what herbs and potions to take to end pregnancy. I inwardly cry when I hear women talking about their second or third abortion. But the law isn’t going to change that - if it were illegal these women would have had illegal abortions or given their children away, or abused them. It is a very complex issue that you cannot just shove aside as a “religious belief”. Is just isn’t that simple.

After listening to many comments on t.v. regarding her speech, I think the best, and most often repeated comment was “classy and with style” pretty much raps it up. Didn’t vote for the lady but if Obama hadn’t been in the running I would have.

she is an inspiration to us all - and a point of reference of how we can approach life if we are lucky with our health.

Peggy - I do not doubt that you found Chambers to be a ‘nice little boy, who played well with others’. One of the traits of a sociopath is the fact that they are “charming and likeable, with a disarming manner that easily wins friends. Typically, they have a good sense of humor and an optimistic outlook.” Ask anyone who knew Ted Bundy personally. You do not know what Chambers was doing when you were not with him. Killing the neighbor’s cat and never being found out? His drug abuse could have escalated his hidden antisocial behaviors which brought him to the point of this murder. Pscyhologists are still debating the reasoning behind this. I am sorry you were so personally involved. It is hard to see someone you know and care for being accused of this kind of vicious crime.

Diana - was just being silly. Just watched the starting of the convention and was overwhelmned. Have to admit that I am getting tired of these silly “he called me a bad name” tiffs that McCain and Obama seem to be going through though. Get to the issues, already. I want Obama to say, “McCain can make all the ugly ad campaigns he wants, I just want you to know that this is what I plan on doing when I get into the White House…………”

I think McCain should have let this one go. Why drag himself down to even reply to such silliness? And then to blame it on Obama was just as silly. I am sure that Madonna did not call Obama up and say ‘Hey, pal, I have this great idea for a back drop - what do you think?’ I am starting to think if a butcher put a pig’s butt in his shop window and labeled it McCain Ass - some how Obama would get blamed for it. Silly childness all the way around.

I don’t understand how it can be call a ‘clean’ source when we do not know how to dispose of the toxic waste. I never understood how the first ones were put into use when we didn’t know how to take care waste. So the alternative to raping the earth of expensive oil is using available engery that polutes it? Am I missing something here?

Frank - she brought me to tears. Not only gorgeous outside but inside too. She was all that and a bag of chips. And those kids - just the right thing to top if off. Wow and Wow

Will watch as much as possible. Want to see who’s crap impresses me the most - Obama, McCain, or twin two year old boys being potty trained.

The night I held my grandson in my arms when he came home from Iraq.

I really don’t keep up much on Hollywood hype so I am not sure what the stories are about Tom. Just know that I enjoy him as an actor and feel that is all I should do.

C O - I wouldn’t worry about your dog being around you more and more. Been told that they can tell when a person needs comfort. Maybe he is just letting you know that he is there if you need him.

I would sincerely hope that by the age of 21 a young girl has already found her favorite for of writing - and also been open enough to explore others. Asking to pick one book would be like asking what you would tell a young woman is the most important thing she needs to know for her future happiness. Life is like a candy store - she needs to try everything in the store to see what she likes, and then savor her favorites.
