I can't take credit for these; I received them in an e-mail message from a friend. Here goes Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day. I just couldn't help sending this along. Too funny.

Hi, I would like to share with you all something that I read recently. I read this article which explains some habits that accelerate the signs of aging, https://www.mcleanclinic.com/blog/skin-care/5-habits-accelerate-signs-aging/ . Most of these things are what we do unknowingly on a daily basis. Even though we cannot stop ourselves from aging, there are some things that we can keep in mind to reduce its speed. Smoking not only causes cancer, but even damages our skin beyond what we imagine. And so does excessive sugar consumption. Things like too much exposure to sun and neglecting our skin are also some factors that accelerates aging. We should alwa…

The following is from a letter written by Converge Orlando executive director, Mikael Audebert. He very eloquently laced his thanks to the Florida Family Association with a generous dose of sarcasm, and worded the irony produced by the situation with grace and diplomacy of the best kind... -Mike Zack Ford | Jun 4, 2013 9:00 am "Next year, why don’t you just write a check directly to Converge Orlando to further promote LGBT tourism to our region? While I doubt you will take me up on this suggestion, I nonetheless look forward to working with you again next year in supporting another successful Gay Days." --thinkprogress.org Florida ‘Family’ Group Thanked F…

In my humble opinion, EVERY member of Congress (and Senate for that matter) should be fired! They are an embarrasment to the constituencies they allegedly represent and rehensible to all Americans. Besides shutting the governement down, they want to get the US in a war with Syria. They do not talk about the 18 million children who go to bed hungry every night,the seniors (18-20 million) who really struggling, the one million homeless veterans, and the financial crises they and their cronies on Wall Street put us in. I could go on but it may take a lifetime to mention them all. I do have some solutions but telling them is like talking to the wall.

So I'm currently thinking about getting my first piercing, but I'm not totally sure yet. So... any votes? I'm leaning towards "1" but I also like the other two options. (I know, I've been doodling on pics of my ear all afternoon haha)

Florida’s School-to-Prison Pipeline is Largest in the Nation More than in any other state, students in Florida are being arrested for incidents that once would have merited a trip to the principal's office.

We’re going to Indiana tomorrow (10-8-21) to pick up my dream car on Saturday. 1987 Chevrolet Camaro Iroc-Z T-Top I’ve dreamed about this car since I was s little girl. I won’t accept an 86 or an 88. My car is an 87. And I will finally have her after this weekend. I’m trying to keep my head together but the excitement is about to erupt out of the top of my skull like a geyser. if there’s anyone in Indiana who is interested in meeting this big, fat, and ugly monstrosity let me know. Our destination is Kouts Indiana, so we have to figure our path back home. We’re hoping I-70 is close.

Decided it's time to eat a more healthy diet. Two things I would like to add are turmeric and cayenne. I know both have great health benefits. However, I am no chef. My greatest achievement in the kitchen thus far is....I can work the microwave. Yea, time to use the pots and pans. Anyone have any good recipes to share? Remember, I am a novice here.

She looked forward to a career helping others and a memorable final year of high school. At the beginning of the school year, Kaitlyn made friends with a 14-year-old freshmen girl in Seba…

I know I have said this before. For years my parents would not speak to me. I had many therapists tell me to let them go. glad I didn't listen. Even though my Mom will not allow me home, we have so much fun talking on the phone. And I am finding out so much family history. I had always heard about a woman called Sunshine. Found out today her name was Bell Ripley and she is the woman that named my Mom. I had also always heard about this man named Peter Gooseturd. Found out that he was a brother of my great grandmothers. He was a very big man and all the kids used to be scared of him. So he told all the kids his name was Peter Gooseturd so they wouldn't be afraid…

I think this would be a lot of fun to do!!

A Russian anti-gay group has asked prosecutors to investigate milk cartons that it claims promote homosexuality to children. The label of the Vesyoly Molochnik milk, owned by multinational dairy company Pepsi Co, is adorned with a jolly milkman and a rainbow in the sky. Anatoly Artukh from the People's Council, says the label is a violation of St Petersburg's anti-gay propaganda law. "A rainbow appeared on the cartons, a world-renowned symbol of the gay movement," he said. "That immediately put me on alert." State prosecutors are now investigating if the label is attempting to promote homosexuality to youth, as Mr Artukh claims. "I have no doubts about …

Violence is never a good thing, but this time, instead of an LGBT person being beaten by a hater, the hater was beaten by LGBT people. Hopefully, this will be one guy that will think twice before being disrespectful to someone again just because they are different than he is. Written by WiG, Oct 18, 2012 A group of apparently gay Atlanta Waffle House patrons fought back when a customer hurled the word “faggot” at them. A video of the scuffle posted on the site World Star Hip Hop on Oct. 16 shows a group of angry patrons punching, slapping and kicking the homophobe to the ground after he used the anti-gay slur. Meanwhile, onlookers cheer the attackers. “Get mad,…

Was it just for laughs? Did John Basedow make more out of it with his comments? What did Basedow mean by his opening comment, "ooooo, dude looks like a lady!" And halfway throught the vid, "granted, some sex-swappers came out a little more attractive than others." And then his closing comment, "after seeing the results of bending genders, one thing's clear to me - maybe we shouldn't mess with Mother Nature." Were there some personal biases slyly intertwined with what was intended as just fun? Gender-bender Photo Competition
