Morning T and everyone else,
I have come accustomed to waking up to a lil hello from you Theresa....thank you for that. You are like a cup of coffee and the newspaper rolled into one. LOL!
Thanks for watching the video....they appear fast but they are safe. Cute uh? Can you believe those boys are only 7,8,&9???? I love it. When I was at the track watching my nephew for the first time I wasn't nervous. Either it is because I know he has the equipment on or because I grew up at a dirt track (cars) with my father and uncles all racin', I can't help it that is in my blood!!! I love racin'. My daughter is a lil gear head too...she prefers old chevys like vettes, and chevelles. HAHAHA!! That's my girl!!
Today our weather is, hold let me look outside...sunny, a couple of clouds....I hear a chance of thunderstorms. LOL!
Your Barrack Obama posable doll has me cracking up. I suspect Theresa, that if you and I had a real world friendship we would keep each other smilin and laughin, no doubt about it. Sounds like we may similar senses of humor...and we both know that is important.
No new news here....Today I may actually read your news....I did that a bit before I started posting alot, like you, I compared real estate.
The problem with the rain isn't the mud, the city owns all our ballfields and they decide to cancel...they don't want to ruin the fields. That is why the coaches, out of their own pockets, have brought the team to batting cages and the indoor field for the scrimmage the other night. We are all trying to figure out what to do with 12 girls and equipment...nobody has a big enough yard...for all of us really...I could get 4 girls playing pass in my back yard at the most....but then again we can't devide the team up...and never have them practice as a team...all will be fine though...I can't wait until her 1st game as an allstar. The kid has worked so hard...this was her 4th season, 1st allstar try-out...she has earned this. Alot of hard work from my 10 not quite 11 year old. Her bday is the 12th....she is getting older...all of 11, my baby!
You wait, si ko, your kids are young. Wait until you are going from a baseball/softball field to a lacrosse field to a band concert....fun, fun, fun!!! All worth it...but a bit of advice...one sport per child per season....that is more than enough.
Happy Fourth Everyone!!!
Stay safe,

Hi Care, KO, Pets, Brats, Sneaky and anyone else that is out there, how are you today? I am fine here, it looks like it is going to rain here today, my son will be happy he won’t have to work. Care I looked at the video, it was so fast. It made me feel like I was on a roller coaster, it was good. I would worry to death about kids going that fast, but I know the parents take all safety precautions. Biddeford is a great town to me, because it is Maine and you are close to the ocean. Does Maine have hurricanes? I think it is most likely too far up, but you most likely get the remnants do them.
Doing the usual Looky look at the Portland Herald Express, not much happening there. Again cold and rainy, we have the same weather almost every day. I see all the rain is destroying all your beaches, when is going to stop raining? It must really suck for your little girl, with softball, it is so hard to play in mud. Every day when I sign on to the Portland Press herald, the ad for Dunkin Donets come up, I can smell the coffee and chocolate cream donut right away. I can’t wait to go back to New York in a few weeks

KO I like your face book pages, thanks for being a new face book friend. I love looking at everyones pictures. I bought a Gumby yesterday on E-bay for my photo album, the new Adventures of Barack Obama. Gumby and pokey will add much to his adventures. I know you’re on Montana Ko, but I just wanted to check in. Have a great time!
PS- Pets I still want to know about all your animals.
I hope everyone has a great day, Theresa Reply...
this whole thing makes me sick. men and women whining about how everything is unfair. honestly. i agree with the men that women take advantage of child support and that laws need to be changed. i don't agree at the outrageous amounts that non-custodial parents have to pay. my mother got 770 a month from my father for 3 kids and like most women, she took advantage of it and paid for her rent and bills but when it came to feeding and clothing her children, we got crapped on sharing clothes and bologna sandwiches and ramen. and she worked full time. women today are getting things for them selves with the money and not taking care of the children. i am a single mother with a wonderful autistic son who recieves no child support and no welfare and not on any government programs. i work fulltime in retail but i make enough to get by and buy everything that my son needs. my son's father on the other hand thankfully comes and visits his son quite often but also has 3 other children who their mothers are withholding visitations against court orders. he makes 800 a month and is supposed to pay 1200 a month for the 3 of them. i have listened on the phone to his workers cuss him out and tell him that he is a deadbeat dad because he doesn't have three jobs to make his full payment, and they have missed notifying him of reviews to get them lowered. also denying dna testing is pathetic. the child support agencies shouldn't be a state to state thing, i belive that the states should have to answer to a federal agency and a national guidelines should be set. the amount per child should be based by age of the child and how many children there are. if each state had to answer to someone above them and a figure of how much it takes to care for a child of a certain age was cut in half and set to a payment guildline. i think things would be much better for all involved. i also believe that child support payments should be put on a type of child support card so that when the child support was recieved, the custodial parent would have to spend it on the childs needs and so that child support could moniter that the money was actually spent on the child and not am the custodial parents wants. i say this because my mother and a few of my friends mothers made us borrow from our child support and pay it back because it was their money, not ours. many people may not agree, but i think that it may be a way to restrict some of the ways that the custodial parents take advantage of their kids. also if i can raise my autistic son without the financial help, i think many others can do that also or maybe i'm just lucky to be able to do so. and no my family is not around me so they don't provide daycare, i pay just like others do.

Japan suffered an economic crisis in 1991 very similar to what the U.S. is suffering now, with collapsing stock and housing bubbles. They turned to old-fashioned Keynesian economics, increasing government spending by the equivalent of $900 billion in the U.S. today. As a result, Japan fell backwards during the 1990s just as the U.S. fell backwards in the 1930s. Japan's per capita national income fell from 86% of the U.S. level in 1991 to 74% in 2000.
Obama has repeatedly told us in recent days that he will not return to the old, failed, tired ideas of the past to address America's economic problems. But that is exactly what he is doing in subjecting America to the outdated, failed theories of Keynesian economics from the 1930s. Reply...

CALIFORNIA TAXPAYER PROTECTION ACT Sponsored by Taxpayer Revolution
PLEASE MAIL PETITIONS TO: POB 9985 SAN DIEGO, CA 92169
Petitions from Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties can be mailed to: Taxpayer Revolution, 6 Gumwood, Irvine, CA 92612
RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIGNING PETITIONS:
Only a registered voter can sign as registered with their street address, NO POB. Zip codes must be used. All voters on one petition must be from the same county. Signatures can be gathered at home improvement, grocery or other stores. Gun shows will be publicized later. You can request petitions to be mailed by emailing from "contact us" on the main menu.
The Initiative’s Laws Will:
- STOP 18 years of WELFARE payments to illegal aliens with U.S. born children.
- REQUIRE all those who are not citizens or permanent legal residents to submit ID documents, provided to Homeland Security, before receiving a birth certificate.
- ALLOW only CITIZENS AND PERMANENT LEGAL RESIDENTS eligibility for all public benefits including non-emergency and pre-natal care.
- ALLOWS Homeland Security to review approved applications for federal, state or local benefits that illegal aliens are permitted to receive due to a U.S. born child. (Please see the initiative summary.)
An article in the Sacramento Bee on September 10, 2007 by Washington correspondent David Whitney summed up automatic citizenship: "Although Congress has never passed a law saying so, no president has ever ordered it, and no court has ever ruled on the issue, each of these babies automatically becomes a U.S. citizen when it takes its first breath." This is a taxpayer injustice.
Our citizen’s movement will launch the national debate we need to bring an END to "birth tourism" and AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP in the United States of America. The movement will uphold the recorded words and real intent of the authors of our Constitution. To the authors and the states which passed the 14th Amendment "subject to the jurisdiction" is to mean that citizens are born to parents who are "NOT subjects of a foreign power." The 14th Amendment is meant to confer citizenship on children whose parents are under the exclusive power, protection and obedience of the United States.
The goal to stop automatic citizenship is critical toward reducing the crime problem. A major reason deported criminal illegal aliens return immediately to the United States after deportation is because they have left behind children born here. Former Homeland Security Director, Michael Chertoff, reported there are two million criminal illegal aliens.
- There will never be "BORDER SECURITY" without ending automatic citizenship. Birth tourism is stealing billions from the United States taxpayers.
Please DONATE by credit card on-line now at "Contribute" or "Donate" to help make this critically important political movement a success.
The initiative petitions will be circulating in 2009 to qualify for the JUNE 2010 ballot and can be downloaded at this site. Please volunteer to obtain signatures.
PLEASE DONATE NOW AND MAIL YOUR CHECK TO:
TAXPAYER REVOLUTION c/o Treasurer P.O. BOX 9985 SAN DIEGO, CA 92169 State Committee ID no. 1297837

I don't disagree with you on several of the points you've made. Previous policy toward N Korea could have, and should have, been more effective. Enforcement of sanctions would certainly have helped. But we're here , and it's now. Monday Morning quarterbacking would be fun over a few beers, but we've got a more serious problem on our hands, should N Korea manage to get Nuke technology into the hands of those (well financed) groups that would pay dearly for it. Oh Yeah.. That verse was from the U.S. Blues, by the Grateful Dead Reply...
If you go back and re-read my statements on Iraq, I believe that we could have solved the problems by enforcing sanctions we already had in place. Still they posed no immediate danger to America proper. They did to our allies and assests however. I also think the strategy we went in with was flawed. It was only set up to take down a gov't not set one up. Which is why it prolonged because there was no immediate power exchange. If you can't find those from previous discussions you have them now. My arguements about terrorists and WMD's are meerily made because of broad generalized statements. I want to point the fallacy, and in such prove a point. I agree we could have all together skipped the war and even had run it better. Especially considering the fact we should have had our focus on Afghanistan.
North Korea is a threat, but only in the short term, like I have said. I don't believe that they will nuke us, but it does show weakness when you let them do whatever they want. You don't let you kid get away with stuff without punishment. As their bad behavior escalates so does your punishment. This is more of show of force do the transistion inside the country.
So my cup is always half full, and Rye, Happy Fourth to you too. Reply...
Joe, Ye of little Faith... Enjoy the week end.... Wave that flag Wave it wide and high Summertime done Come and gone My oh my Guess where that came from Reply...
N.Korea has had nukes for quite some time..and You've been aware of it. We're on the case..and we have been for as long as they've had them In fact the threat posed by N. Korea is not so much that they'd use them...a picture one gets from reading all these posts, but that they might sell them. And that"s the reason for the sanction, and for the recent confrontation between the US and N Korea re; that ship bound for Myanamar... Nevertheless, Sicko, after reading your take on this issue, and your take on the WMD issue, the picture you paint of the world is a whole lot more negative than reality dictates... i.e. the ineffective biological remanents or 80s biological weapons, the imminent threat of Nukes from N. Korea... The glass is always half empty with you Sicko....Roll yourself a fatty, pour yourself a cold one, and sit back and enjoy the holiday week end... Reply...
