We can't find him.

foreverserenity — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 07:41:33 -0400

My nephew has not returned home since last night. He left his girlfriend's house, she called his mom to say he was on his way home, he still hasn't gotten home. I got the call today and I pray he is alright.

My first thought is that they grabbed him, the police, because today was to be his day in court. If they can't prove his guilt, then they will be charged. Would they do something as dastardly as that, yes they would! Thank heavens his lawyer was able to d...

Yes, LW Really Did Shave Her Head

I don't WANT a Soap-box, thank you.

The Deleter — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 06:09:57 -0400

I've had a look at some of the other blogs on JoeUser, and I'm impressed. You people talk in a way I can barely grasp, about things I won't care about until actual maturity hits me and I buy my first washing-up bowl, or I get beaten up badly or something (I haven't yet, but give it time). I feel kind of small, intellectually, and I am doing well at school. At least, I hope I am.

But sometimes, I come across a blog that does make an outrageous statement, or comments on a controversial issue, a...

She Poured Lemonade Down the Toilet

Texas Wahine — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 02:31:41 -0400

It all started with an episode of How Clean is Your House.

The mean, fat old lady in too much make up cleaned a toilet with LEMONADE!! It worked. The toilet got cleaned and sanitized, and a kid can get into the pantry and drink as much lemonade as s/he wants and NOT DIE!

I have become interested in natural cleaning...cleaning using a lot of normal, non-toxic household products and essential oils. It's less expensive, works great, and is so much safer for a...

CNN Special Report - Black in America

foreverserenity — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:50:49 -0400

CNN is repeating a special report it aired a month or so ago, Black in America.

It will take a close look on some of the issues that affect black Americans. It will give an in depth look into the lives of some blacks who are doing the right thing, living their lives and who defy the stereo types of what being black in America is. Someone said it is not just a story about blacks in this country it is a story about Americans, (who happen to be black), because what happens to m...

Are Families Still Having Fun Despite the Economy?

foreverserenity — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:51:20 -0400

We all know the realities each of face each and every day. We have to take care of the basics first, rent or mortgage, utilities, food, other payments...and maybe fun?! Regardless of the difficulties that is going on in most people's lives, they are still making time for fun with the family!

If my neighborhood is anything to go by, I would say yes! Take us for example, we have managed to see a few movies this summer, have an eat out here and there, despite everything t...

Use of the word "Lesbian" insulted their identities

foreverserenity — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 10:38:37 -0400

And they lost!

Three residents of the Greek Aegean island of Lesbos doesn't like it that homosexual women are referred to as Lesbos or Lesbians! They feel that if someone were not born on their island, they are not a Lesbo or Lesbian and so the residents took this matter to the Greek Courts, to have the courts declare them right and give them justice in having those two words banned unless it was in referrence to a native Lesbo or Lesbian....their Courts didn't bite...

Happy Summer Holidays!

The Deleter — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 10:15:14 -0400

Yes, for us brits, it's the summer holidays. So if you're British, and are below 16 or have the summer holidays anyway, enjoy them! Or, just enjoy the summer. Unless you're in a different season. In which case have a good whatever season- Argh, now my head hurts.

I'm going to go lie down.

I Do Not Think Pansies Have A Place On JU

MasonM — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:47:43 -0400

I am so amused that I managed to upset our resident pantywaist while exposing him for the hypocrite and phony religious adherent that he truly is. He's a fucking waste of space and a complete moron. Not to mention a crybaby who needs to go suck on a tit (might do his wimpy ass some good).

Enough of that, let him cry in his Cheerios, he's a pathetic wimp.

I made delivery in IL today and then boogied up to the yard to see what I'm doing next. "R" gave me a choice of three loads. One was goin...

Digital Broadcast Television

MasonM — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:43:41 -0400

The other day I picked up a usb tv tuner unit for my laptop. I'm not a big television fan at all but I figured it would be nice to have that option when sitting around in the truck for an extended period of time, like today. Naturally since analog broadcasts are soon to be extinct the card is capable of both analog and HDTV digital broadcast reception.

As I expected, the picture quality of the digital broadcast is exceptional. With digital there's no such thing as a snowy picture. Either you ...

Want To Save Money On Gas?

MasonM — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:31:25 -0400

Pretty much everyone is complaining about the high fuel prices right now, but few are actually doing anything about it. It's pretty easy for most people to cut back on what they spend to fuel their vehicles but from what I see out here on the roads every day, in all parts of the country, very few people are actually doing it.

The single biggest impact one can have on their fuel cost, and the easiest one to do, is to simply slow down. The faster one drives the more fuel their vehicle is ...

We finally left that terrible apartment

CharlesCS — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 07:35:10 -0400

Well, the day finally came. We are now in our new apartment. After finding myself in a pickle when the landlord was being foreclosed on,I was desperate trying to figure out what to do before we were eventually evicted.

Thanks to my boss, and his wife who works for real estate, they were to help us find an apartment (though a bit more that I was paying) that gave us first months rent free and a small deposit. But it got better, although I had to wait a little over a week to get the place due t...

Nice quotes

yanilkr — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 19:49:47 -0400

A ship is safe in the harbor, but thats not what it is made for.
A reasonable man adapts to the world, an unreasonable man adapts the world to him. so all the progress depends on the unreasonable men.

Hot Water or Sex?

KFC Kickin For Christ — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:27:28 -0400

Ok, I know this isn't like my usual blog entry but thought what the heck.....I'll go out on a limb and ask the question.

If you had to give up sex or hot water for a week which would you give up?

Friday Five

Locamama — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:24:54 -0400

Friday Five - Started by Miguna, carried on by LittleWhip. Now I've decided to throw in because I think it's so much fun. This weeks questions come from tabletopics - conversations starters - linked.

1. If you could have any view from your backporch, what would it be?

2. What would be the menu of your ultimate birthday dinner?

3. What was the worst hairstyle you ever had?

4. What's the best barbecue you have eaten?

5. What would be a reall...

Some Like It Hot

KFC Kickin For Christ — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:29:23 -0400

Well it's July and the hot weather is here and I still like living here. Many back home said, "wait until the summer" thinking I'd hightail it right back after some oppresive steamy weather.

Nope. Loving every bit of it. Well maybe I wouldn't if I was a roof worker or landscaper but since I don't have to do these sorts of jobs the heat really doesn't bother me much.

Actually we've been watching the weather back home and they've had some days hotter than ...

Who wants to see another slide show?

Part one here

Part two here

This will probably be the last slide show for this town. Maybe.

Enjoy....

Home Sweet Home...again

KellyW0498 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:44:16 -0400

The other day my son and I went on one of our bike rides. He always likes to go see the "castle houses" first. Then it's where ever we end up. This time I took my camera.

One thing I have always been fascinated in are homes. I love to see how other people live.

The first picture is the bikes that took us around. Our first stop, the castle house street.

Their is some amazing brick work in these houses. I don't think I captured the magnitude of the detail. As it ...

My Fat Ass and Other Things

Texas Wahine — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:32:04 -0400

This slideshow, if I can get it to post, is kind of Isabella-centric. She is obsessed with having pictures taken of herself and FORCES me to take pics of her so she can say "CHEEEEEESSEEE!!"

Fried Green Lasers

stubbyfinger — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 14:25:03 -0400

I’ve been trying to justify buying one of these high power laser pointers. I’ve hovered over the checkout button several times now unable to pull the trigger. Truth is I go through this struggle with my inner child often. I have a wide range of interest so there’s an endless list of toys that I could make full use of. I’m a capably person and I quickly outgrow less capable toys when exploring my interest so if I decide to go down a road I know it’s going to hurt financially. I need to be very pi...

I do not think personal attacks have a place on JU.

erathoniel — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 00:34:52 -0400

I do not believe that personal attacks have a place on JoeUser. I feel that it is detrimental for the service of everyone if people cannot work past their differences, or take it elsewhere, assuming that the other party agrees. I have a place to go to attack me, so it's not necessary to ruin other people's days by making them read attacks here. If they care, they can go there.

When you attack somebody on JU, not only do you violate the Terms of Service (which you did read, didn't you?), you a...

One of my heroes has fallen

Daiwa — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 22:53:00 -0400

I attended the funeral of one of my patients this morning, one of my all-time heroes, one of the most inspiring people I've ever met. Dead at only 33. I was honored that the family asked me to be one of the speakers at her funeral and I am sharing my remarks about her because more of the world should know about this special human being, and about the unbounded capacity of the human spirit. And because I'm in the mood to sing her praises; the opportunity may not come again...

Homeschooling Freedom

KFC Kickin For Christ — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:22:39 -0400

A few months ago I wrote about California outlawing homeschooling and the scrambling that went on after that bomb hit the public square.

This decision which I believe has been rescinded or at least stayed for a period of time reminded me about another case in 1983 not to mention Hitler's outlawing homeschooling in, I believe, 1938.

Back in 1983 homeschooling was outlawed in about 45 states because it was mandated that the parents would have to have a four year teaching certific...

Um... yeah, I got nothing.

The Deleter — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:13:27 -0400

Seriously. I don't have anything to blog. I just had a weird compulsion to write somethig, but I had nothing to write about. Weird. Am I ill or something?

Oh, right, Super Smash Bros Brawl. It's out in the U.K. It's good, but a bit too easy and anyone that's not Sonic or Snake is too easy to unlock via a non-campaign unlock.

Shake my Sphere

The Deleter — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 03:07:09 -0400

So, I went on a school trip to the Globe Theatre yesterday to see The Merry Wives of Windsor. We went at about 9 in the morning, and came back at about 10 past 9 at night. Was it worth it?

Yes - the performance was brilliant. The "ye olde" language is easy to vaguely understand, and you will at least know all of the main characters by Act 2, but that pervious set of words sounds trite and pessimistic. The play was done with such energy and charisma, I thought one or two might explode. There w...
