that's a pretty ignorant thing to say. we don't feel sorry for the dead bodies, we feel sorry for the survivors. the families of the people who were lost, and now have to deal with disease and possibly famine. people who lost their homes and everything they owned. we can feel sympathy and still...

I don't know how easy it is to get on TV and the radio in Australia, but it's not that easy in Canada. It's also not easy to phone a government official. If someone wanted to get an urgent message on tv, it would take a lot longer than an hour. That's why we have advance warning systems in place...

it makes me sigh, like a dreamy school girl

my point was that sometimes it takes something like this in order to make things happen. because nothing like this had ever happened in the region before, a warning system had never been put in place. easy to say some seismologist at NOAA or wherever could have made a phone call to sumatra (or...

...Ask yourself my love whether you are not very cruel to have so entrammelled me, so destroyed my freedom -John Keats to Fanny Braune i like it because it sounds so beautiful

i mend and also sew some clothes. when i can't find an item i am looking for in a store, i just make it. when my hubby has worn the knees and bottoms of his pants out, then i turn them into shorts for him. i also made a pretty fantastic hallowe'en costume this year (if i do say so myself :o )...

you are so cheeky :D *groan*

i hear what you're saying Sun-SSS, but easier said than done. the harsh reality is that, sometimes, this is what it takes. not all the time, but sometimes - and, unfortunately, this time. and nothing wrong with feeling noble - sympathy and nobility are the feelings that compel people to give...

my hubby bought me "The Most Evil Women in History" by Shelley Klein for Christmas. He told me I would be in the next edition. HAHA. Anyway, I just started it and it's pretty interesting. I'd heard of most of the women in the book, but I didn't know any details. He also bought me "The Most Evil...

a friend of mine left for india on dec 24 and was staying on the southern end. we were all really worried about her until we did a bit more research and found she was staying on the west side (the east side, tamil nadu, was hit). i am making a donation to oxfam or the red cross today.

my hubby bought me a new sewing machine - it's fantastic - and some books. also rec'd from relations a couple of very pretty rings, a massager and some other misc items.

i have two. pay off my credit card and get my ass back to the gym

I just found this website: Canada: Where's Willy? Enter the serial numbers of the bills in your pocket to see where they've been. I didn't get any hits on the 4 I just entered, but I'll keep trying. Here are ones for other countries: Europe: Eurobilltracker United Kingdom: Dosh...

yeah, that guy is... WOW seriously, though, wouldn't it be cool if everyone on the planet had crazy hair colour? how cool would that be to walk down the streets and see them filled with people with heads of hair in shades of pink, blue, green, red, etc? normal hairstyles but wacky colours? i...

same here - and same for the bands you mention (we must be almost same age.) the Pixies absolutely defined my 16 year summer. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Beastie Boys, Jane's Addiction. I love them all and they may have their shortcomings but I don't care!

You have a Merry Christmas, too SillyWabbit. I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year also. Here comes 2005...

WOW! am i glad i found this thread! i have no one to play scrabble with because either no one wants to or i have to let people win and it's not fun that way. i'm going to check these links out. THANKS Fluffy!

well, i guess it depends on the crowd you hang with. i like to see people being different as long as they're not hurting others. i just hope that guy doesn't find he regrets it some day - he'd be screwed!!!

i made this julia fractal. i call it PODS

it's not computer editing. that person has their face tattooed and those whiskers implanted. i saw the guy on some tv special a long time back. he's a gutsy number
