Reply to I am a second Class Citizen in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I know hearing "you are not alone" does little for morale, but it certainly is the case. Giving the details of my circumstances would do little, as they almost mirror yours, the major difference being I only have a son. The comment made that it's hard to win a case when the Judge has already made up his mind is quite true. The courts almost always side with the mother unless you have a huge amount of documentation showing she is unfit. B

Reply to Tiger Wins Masters, Rebuke from CAGW in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I certainly see your point, but I think one would have to be careful taking this path. I am no lawyer, but I would think you could get into trouble using money made as part of a salary, to repay a grant received for a separate venture. By doing this (I believe) you associate the two, and you loose your protection of each. For example, if someone sues the school because of a fall, then they could also go after him personally. As

Reply to Accidental shipment of 1957 Influenza virus in Current Events JoeUser Forums

LW, No, actually the idea that the lab in Canada just happened to be the first, not the only, never occurred to me. There are a few reasons for this; the first does not have much credence, as it came from the same media that brought the story in the first place. This being the afore mentioned media stating that the Canadian lab was the only one able to successfully subtype the virus. I have found that as a rule,

Accidental shipment of 1957 Influenza virus in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Either the media has deliberately sidestepped the real issue concerning the release of the 1957 Influenza virus, or just does not get the real impact. The virus was sent out in ID panels to labs around the world, as is done every year. The panels that are sent have a number of unknown viral samples, and the labs getting them are supposed to treat the samples just as i

Pope John Paul II in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I just wanted to extend my prayers to the Pope. He was certainly a visionary, and has done much not just for the Catholic faith, but for the world. He certainly was a Pope, a man, for all people, teaching that it is possable for all faiths to live together. He certainly will be missed by all.

They are praying for a miracle,but parking in my driveway in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I realize I have been posting on the Terri Schiavo issue with a certain amount of bias. This I have to own up to, as I have a strong opinion on this issue. I lost my Mother a few years ago after she fell, and was on life support for six months. After fighting the good fight, she started having problems that we, as a family knew she would not want to live with. So as a

Evaluating Terri Schiavo's condition in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I find myself more and more skeptical on comments made by Terri Schiavo’s parents. A week ago, they are telling everyone who would listen how bad Terri looks, her skin frail, and her lips bleeding. In fact, her brother said he would not allow his parents in to see Terri because of the condition she was in. Then overnight we find out that the 11th Court of Appea

Taking exception to comments made. in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I take exception to some of the comments made on my prior post. First, I am a very religious person. I go to church on a regular basis, volunteer for several groups,including the local Catholic food bank. I have cooked more food for the homeless than I want to remember. I am not looking for any "atta boys", but know I am anything but a hate monger,especiall

I take exception to some of these comments. First, I am a very religious person. I go to church on a regular basis, volunteer for several groups,including the local Catholic food bank. I have cooked more food for the homeless than I want to remember. I am not looking for any "atta boys", but know I am anything but a hate monger,especially when religion is involved. But maybe that's the point. I have no problem with anyone standing up for what they believe in. I have sent emails to ev

THe Religious Right are no better than hate groups in Current Events JoeUser Forums

The hypocrisy of the “Christian right” is astounding. I am still amazed by the Terri Schiavo case, partly because, as I said, I live within blocks of the Hospice where she is at., and I was never a fan of big Government. However, the on camera remarks made by the religious right, coming right out with threats against the Judges in this case, is unreal. Included

Terri's sister is dumb as a stump in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I have to laugh. The other day Terri Schiavo’s father is out in front of the cameras, trying to get people to actually believe him, saying things like” when I told Terri she smiled at me”. At that point, his daughter, Terri’s sister, looks at him and says Really! What did she say? What did she say! The woman has not spoke in 15 years, yet the sister still cannot figur

The Bush brothers like White Women more than Black Babies? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

How very strange it is~~ Last week in Texas an infant was allowed to die~actually the law is the Doctor is allowed to pull the tubes out of a patient if they will probably die, and they can't pay. This was signed by then Gov.Bush in 1999. Now fast forward to today~~now you have Gov. Bush-the other one- who want's a bill passed to make it illegal to pull the tubes

Arrest at Teri Schiavo's Hospice was a staged joke in Blogging JoeUser Forums

This whole Teri Schiavo case just keeps getting better & better. That "horrable" scene outside of the Hospice, when the police took the family away in cuffs, including children. All they wanted to do was give Teri water. What a laugh!! I live down the street from there,and that whole thing was staged to the point the could have used a director. OK, you stand there, t

Pres bush is ok with pulling the tube in black infants, in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I would like to know why Pres Bush passed a bill in his home state that allowed the feeding tube to be removed in anyone who could not pay the hospital bill, while he came out at the last second to sign this bill for Teri Shhiavo. That certainly seems close to being very hypocritical. Actually that's not true. last week a hospital in Texas pulled the tube fro

Teri Schiavo's dad & Congress tries to make her an actress in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Does everyone feel warm and fuzzy when they watch that 24 second (give or take) clip of Teri Schiavo? The tracking of the balloon, a few grunts here and there, and what looks kind of like a smile. Did you know that it took 10 hours of prep work, and another four and a half hours of filming in order to get that twenty-something second clip? That's right folks, the

Gotta start with the Schiavo circus in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I have to start with the insanity around the Teri Schiavo case. I happen to live within blocks of where Teri is existing,(there is no way anyone could call that living). It seems funny there is no one out front whining for Teri, willing to volunteer and wipe her ass when she craps herself, give her a bath, massage her limbs,(except her husband,of course).ut the second

As I said, "Welcome". The rest I borrowed from ELP, and they were quite cool, so I don't think they would mind.
