GOOD morning to all,
CurlyGirly posted this on Remembering the 80's, so guess what?
it's in here now!

Scooter gifted me 1 nickel in my stocking!
He told me he spent the rest of them betting on golf.

Ahh, the memories!! Nikki posted Kokomo in that thread, so I had to post this much loved parody!


Rump, thanks for the Slimjim. I find they make fabulous coffee stir sticks. I live in the Midwest and always go to our homecoming parade. Anyway, no lie, this year one of the local businesses threw out meat sticks to the kids instead of candy. We do love us some processed meats!

Anyone have any big end of the world plans today? Not sure if I should bother getting out of bed.

I keep telling myself I won't post in this thread anymore, but here I go again.

Anyway, I live in a rural town in the Midwest with less than 8000 people and have a child in high school. I received a recorded call from the Superintendent of schools for our town today saying there were "rumors of a threat." The message said the rumors were investigated and found to be just that, rumors.

However, this is what happened for my child and the other kids at the HS school today: They were told there is a rumor going around school that there is going to be a shooting tomorrow at their school, so they are setting up armed police in all the hallways for tomorrow. Also, they had drills today in the event of the a shooting where boys were taught to move cabinets in front of doors etc. I know several parents who are keeping their children home tomorrow.

I'm happy that the school is taking this seriously and taking precautions, but I can't tell you how sad this makes me for our children and our society. Instead of tornado and fire drills, we now have lockdowns and "armed gunman drills." I know someone pointed out the schools were not keeping up with the times as far as still having fire drills and not enough lockdowns or whatever. You win, the schools and children are waking up and trying to protect themselves from "you." Honestly, I can't believe you would rather have our children/ your children learn these new drills instead of giving up your automatic/assault weapons.

So when you gun advocates talk about "needing them for protection" and "feeling safe", who are we supposed to feel safe from? I certainly don't feel any safer and I know my children don't.

I absolutely LOVE this country and I am so tired of people from other countries bashing us (especially in this damn thread), but we can't defend our history/stance with this issue. Sorry, if you think you can, but it is indefensible. Interpret them any way you want, the numbers are there.

The further we get away from this horrible tragedy, the more questions I have.

- What happened to the second shooter that was found in the woods? One boy actually says on camera that he saw the man on the ground and handcuffed at the fire house.

-Other reports said that the day before the shooting, Lanza was at the school and had an "altercation" with four facutly members. Three of whom were later killed.

- Why are we not hearing any eyewitness accounts from teachers or adults?

We've all learned that there was a ton of incorrect information that was given out immediately after this happened (i.e., Ryan Lanza was the shooter, his mother was a teacher or a teacher's aide at the school and found dead in the classroom, and the brother was the dead body at the house), and I believe the second shooter in black is part of that misinformation. While watching the news the next day and the reporter was backtracking on some information, they pointed out several times that the information was very "fluid" to explain the inconsistencies. I've heard explained several times that the man in black led away in handcuffs was Ryan Lanza when he was taken into custody. We all saw him in his black coat and handcuffs being put in the car.

Also, if I were an "eyewitness" to that day, there is no f*ing way that I would be talking to reporters. It's less than a week later. I'm sure we will be learning more than we ever wanted to know in the days to come.

But - If my child needed to use a assault weapon she would at least have the knowledge to get it done. It is the media and people who enjoy and who bring their children up enjoying and idolizing people who kill people from cartoon up. No gun ban will change that. The good guys are the bad guys now-a-days and morals or even a story with morals is taboo to children and adult a like. You figure it out. In the meantime we reserve our rights and leave behind the crazy children of school teachers who mass murder and from whom we must defend our selves and children from in any way possible.

My mouth literally fell open when I read that statement. Why in the world would your child ever NEED to use an assault weapon (I assume you mean when she is an adult, but I'm beginning to wonder)? I am in my 40's and have never had a need to use an assault weapon or any gun for that matter. What's more, no one that I have ever known has ever needed to use one. Unless you're in the military/law enforcement (and I'm pretty sure they'll teach you), why would there ever be a need.

What you NEED to teach your child is to be kind, loving, and compassionate towards other people and not how to blow them into little pieces.

Sadly, this sums up the 8 pages of this thread, and I'm sure the next 8 as well.

Hey!!! It's " remembers" Home boy! No?

I thought he was this guy's homeboy.

Some guys seem to like a light teeth scraping and some really. really don't.

Most are where they really belong -- on the other side of the border. The rest are scattered among our country sucking up our resources and living free off our government. Wait this isn't about illegal aliens?

It states in the bible that satan will try to deceive us in believing there are UFO's, aliens, bigfoot, and such. It's up to us as to what we actually believe, satan or God? The choice is yours..........

So, taking the Bible that literally, does that mean you're in Satan's camp? I'm honestly curious since you brought the Bible into this discussion.


I guess I'm "agnostic" about aliens; not believe it until I see it, although it would not surprise me if some type of life were found on another planet. There is so much yet to be discovered.

I read this "lovely" article .... it has a false title, as the story is of a woman who has a child that has mental illness that produces rage.

Talk about cashing in on using the name Lanza.

This story is NOT about Adam Lanza's mother or her situation with her son.

This is what is wrong with the US media! Disgusting. It' should have been titled "My Dealing with a Child with Mental Illness".



That's interesting. When I saw that 'I am Adam's Mother' was in quotes, I immediately knew it was NOT written by his mother. I guess everyone didn't read it that way. Because it was in quotes, I assumed it meant she wasn't his mother sort of how you put "lovely" in quotes when, I think, you were attempting to be ironic. Isn't that what they call a scare quote??

"Thank you for pointing out what is wrong with the US media."

After reading the article, I can't imagine going through life being afraid of my child and not being able to get him or her help and to have an escape plan to keep your other children safe. What a horrible situation. I can't imagine how helpless and hopeless she feels.

I have always wanted to get treated like a bad boy from a woman. Have you ladies ever wanted to take control of a man and degrade him? Ever wanted to spank a guy, be the boss, fuck him with a strap on, and force him to cum where ever you wish?

No. I wouldn't degrade my partner, and I'm not into being degraded.

The other stuff doesn't really interest me very much.

1st off the rifle was NEVER used to kill any of the victims in Conn. 2nd) FBI reports that 750,000 crimes were stopped by armed citizens in 2012. 3rd) Guns don't just jump off the shelf and say lets go shoot people,PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE!!! All the guns were registered legally!!The man was mentally disturbed and killed his own mother.STOP BLAMING THE GUNS and start blaming HUMANS!!!Just watch whats going on,and has gone on for centuries,around the world!!!Wake up and smell the coffee, when gang members buy guns off the street and break in your house and kills everyone in it but you ,you'll wish you had a gun! When the govt's jack booted thugs come to drag you away ,you'll want a gun handy!!Time to realise society is breaking down, PEOPLE are whacked out and everytime this happens,lets blame the guns!! I feel sad for those families,but if they had ARMED guards in their school it would've never gone that far!!

1st) Why wouldn't they kill me too?
2nd) Why are gov't jack-booted thugs coming to drag me away? I've lived in this country my whole life, and I've never known the govt to show up and drag people off. You said "when" not "if." You honestly believe this stuff?
3rd) After reading this, you have more than confirmed that PEOPLE are whacked out. I probably have more to fear from PEOPLE than gov't jack-booted thugs.

Honestly, after reading your post, it scares the shit out of me that you might (probably do) own weapons.



P.S. I'm sure you've learned by now that the Bushmaster was used to kill the majority if not all all those innocent people, so does that change your argument?

TURN OFF THE NEWS.......

Morgan Freeman's brilliant take on what happened yesterday :

"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."


It makes sense, but it's not a statement Morgan Freeman made. It's a hoax. I'm sure you can thank FB for that.

If we turn off the news and don't listen does that mean people will stop talking about it endlessly on FB and also here? Aren't we all doing the same thing, adding to his notoriety? I've posted on this thread, so I guess I'm guilty as well if this is part of the cause.

**Giggles.** I don't know why but DM's picture made me think of this and thought I'd share.. Such a sadface moment when this happens.

I was sooooo careful for years about this.

Good morning, Rumpkids. Goodness, is this what happens over here when I'm sleeping???

I come bringing good cheer (well, there is half a bottle of good cheer left). Since I only drink coffee in the am, you'll need to start drinking quick if you wanna catch up.

Going Christmas shopping today in the rain. Fa la la la la la la la la la (I think that was enough la's??)

Dedicating this to a Lush friend.

I guess we all have a bit of that in us, which is why we're here.

Sure, make guns illegal just like drugs, because that's worked out so well for this country. No need to mention that whole prohibition mess.

I'm not a fan of guns and won't allow a gun in my home. I *wish* that tighter gun control laws were the answer, but they're not. That being said, I can't even pretend to know the answer to all this senseless violence.

Culver's Butterburger with cheese and fried cheese curds. *oink* *oink* No dinner for me tonight.


Oh wait, I'll be having beer for dinner.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club . A friend just texted me to ask if I wanted to go see them and I'd never heard of them.

Love them thanks to Pandora putting them in my listening queue awhile back. Thanks, Pandora!


On Amazon, I looked up "The Onion Book of Known Knowledge" and the 1940 movie "Rebecca." Ordered both for Christmas presents. Also, threw a "Dead mark squashed flat book mark" into my cart. You know those impulse buys when you're waiting to check out.

Mistletoe (Viscum album) is from the Anglo-Saxon word misteltan, which means “little dung twig” because the plant spreads though bird droppings.

Goose Island IPA

The irony is priceless.

First they spend all their efforts campaigning about the principles of democracy, urging Americans to vote and exercise their democratic rights, and do what is in their power to prevent tyranny and socialism.

Then when democracy speaks and the vote is cast, and democracy prevails, they are unhappy with the results. Suddenly nothing more clever comes into their mind than to create their own nation where they may errect a totalitarian government, thus proving that the demcracy they held so dear is essentially worthless.

How can anyone with common sense take these people seriously? This sounds like something Muammar al-Gaddafi would have done.



We don't.

Hot. I'd pick a warmer climate over a cooler one anyday of the week. I hate cold weather.

Aha! Something I disagree with you on. Shall we move this to the Think Tank???


I have to go with cool weather. Hot and humid makes me ornery as hell. This past summer just about sent me over the edge. In and out of my car for appointments. Cold, hot, cold, hot, etc. YECH!! I can always bundle up, but can't unsweat. I was taking 3 showers a day over the summer. The friggin CA couldn't keep up on the top floor of my house. Sleeping sucked. Clothes sticking, boob sweat. OK, you get the idea. I'll stop now.


Plus, I really love, love, love boots!!

Eddie Nailed It!!!

I agree. He really did. Thanks for telling me about this, Nikki. I had to YouTube it because, Fuse had already blocked the video you posted. Bastards!

OK, now I'll let you get back to your Hall of Fame tirade!

I attempt to send thank you messages to everyone who comments on my stories, so is it possible to have a drop down box from the person's name on the actual story comment? It would open up right to the message box and have their name autopopulated . Just seems like it would save a few steps.

I guess it could have the other normal dropdown options as well for add a friend and send online message, but I'm not really interested in those. I thought this used to happen, but maybe had to change for some reason.

ThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyou!!!

Used it a few times this morning and it worked perfectly!

Edit : I have another request/suggestion as far as activity feed. Is it possible to bold or in some other way highlight when a friend publishes a new story? They seem to get lost in my activity feed among forum threads and other things. Maybe give it a book icon that's really dark? I think it would be great if they stood out a bit more. I know I can click on that header to see who has posted what, but I never do. It would just be nice to see them at a glance when I look at my activity feed or visit a friend's page.

Who turned off the sun?! I mean hell! This is Florida and it's windy, chilly and rainy. Some nice hot toddy for the body please barkeep.
I need to get to cleaning this house soon. The Marines land a week from Friday and I've got baking, cleaning and wrapping to do. But I love it.

That's got to be so exciting. I'm sure you'll have a blast getting everything ready.

I moved on to Diet Coke at about 10 am, since I need to be amped up to *start* my Christmas shopping!! Maybe a little baking of Christmas cookies this weekend along with some homemade English toffee.
