oh my yes. Just read any story on the internet and then read the comments. Steaming, firey, hang 'em high comments. Forget the trial, forget that accidents happen...someone is to blame and needs to pay for this.

One of my personal favorite experiences was driving down a busy highway and being passed by a big luxury car with a middle aged man in it. He blew his horn, pulled back in directly in front of me, and flashed me the bird. Mad as heck. He must have thought I was driving too slow or perhaps I cut him off unknowingly at an earlier point in time. I was oblivious to any such crime.

Then as he sped off I noticed his bumper sticker. "WWJD?" I don't know, but I doubt he would have done that!

Sounds like useful information. I don't know much about antiques, but I've been to enough antique malls to know that some spaces present much more nicely than others. Now I understand why.

I think I'll start with the Vampire Cocktail...

Encouraging and exposing a Local Business is a excellent idea, especially in an economy which lost his own wheels... LOL So I think this is one of a great opportunity to move on, be active, sometime pro-active, and a proud part of your community.
Thanks for a great idea.

Oh that would be fun! Do that sometime! are you nearby?

me too!!! and yes I screamed!! loudly!!!

bread is delicious no matter what!! I just cant make it twice a week anymore...the two adults in training aren't here with all their friends anymore
I sure miss them

the thing that may me so angry was finding out farmers are paid by the government to grow tobacco and that the money for it is more enticing than what they get for food!
and yes, kids smoke still but I know when I was young I was positive I was immortal...nothing could touch me...

I agree! but seems to me the ones we watched as kids were better than the ones today!

If I am ever down that way, I'll have to stop by...and stop by to see you too!

All I can do is scream, almost, this is my LEAST favorite creature to come across of all creatures, and I generally tolerate and like almost any living creature large and small. ICK!

I used to make my own bread at home years ago, then used a breadmaker to knead it, but still formed it by hand...lately we get it free from my husbands work...still there is nothing like the smell of bread baking.

So helpful as always, thank you, Bev. Sometimes I actually enjoy walking through old what appear to be run-down antique places, adds to the atmosphere for me. It depends upon what we're looking for, though, whether looking to keep or looking to resell...the less organized places can have better prices sometimes.

A great story as always, and I come from the time when spankings were acceptable, too. We always got talked to and told why first, then Dad would leave the room, then come back and give us a wack or two. I now know that taking the time to talk and leave and come back made sure that the punishment wasn't coming out of the anger of the moment. There was also lots of hugs and forgiveness. It didn't take many spankings to teach a lesson. I can see how the form of punishment can get out of hand, though, but that is true of anything.

I find it chilling that young people even today with all we know about the harmful effects are still choosing to smoke. I've noticed more and more kids and twenty-somethings smoking. Advertising, perhaps? I've been told that the cigarette companies are making their products more addictive -- all they need to do is hook them young and they'll have a greedy customer for life, albeit a short life.
Happynutritionist, don't you think there could be some help somewhere to transition tobacco farmers to a more health-conscious crop? I understand that few crops can compete economically with tobacco, but there must be something they could grow that would benefit rather than put a drain on society.
