I-yi-yi--now I'm being harrassed by my baby brother...

...on Facebook. I posted some stuff there last night about Pelousycare and abortion and the Dems. My brother responded with long-winded rants. So, now I'm getting it from my sister, my bro-in-law, and my bro. My entire family, except my 89-year-old dad, are far-left socialist whackjobs and quite passionate about it. Yipes!

My bro is the farthest left of the lot, but he's also (personally) the nicest, sweetest, and sanest. (My sister is off the chain.) But when my bro gets...

Speaking of gay marriage

I have two new, though somewhat long post on the issue on my blog. Any thoughts/discussion would be welcomed, either here at ABC or on my blog.

Anyone here familiar with lacrosse?

If you have the time and inclination, please tell me as much as you can about it. I am clueless.

I will check the wikipedia article, but it would be helpful to hear stuff from real people, too, especially WRT slang and common terms associated with the game.

(Yes, this is job-related.)

Thanks!!

This was prompted by another forum I am on at floridasportsman.com.

In my daughter's small town of Glennville, GA, the health department received a correspondingly small number of doses of H1N1 flu vaccine. Since Glennville is onion and blueberry territory, there are lots of illegal aliens there who pick onions and blueberries. Because of the season, they are not working right now, so when certain things happen, they have opportunity to jump in line ahead of actual Americans.

Somehow a bunch of these invaders got word that the flu vaccine had...

I was starting to read this but my knowledge of the various sub-characters in the initial reformation isn't strong enough to know all the connections the author is attempting to make. Anyone offer up any comments on this one?

Tomorrow my husband has a job interview.

It will be the first for a real job in a long time, at the VA hospital in Fort Wayne. It's for the VA police, and he is well-qualified as he has his BA in criminal justice, 10 point veterans' preference, and five years prior civil service (this is a civil service position), and since he had worked as a DoD police officer before working in airfield management as a civilian, he's got some experience under his belt, so we have every reason to expect that he will be offered the job....

Rome - Italians reacted with outrage on Tuesday after a European court ruled that displaying crucifixes in the country's schools violated the principle of secular education.

Instead of hiding behind any tainted views of separation and equal access, they just come out an...

In Italy, even the bars and cafes have Crucifixes, fer cryin' out loud.

The European Court, whatever the heck that is (connected with the EU, I presume) canNOT take the Crucifixes out of Italian public life. That would be just so un-Italian.

Join the EU; there goes sovereignty. Ack.

God help us.

I started praying for QB when I saw it. Before that, when the Yankee ran past second base and onto third because he saw nobody on third covering the bag why didn't the second base guy try and run him down and tag him? But I can't remember if there was a guy on first so maybe that was why he didn't leave second and chase the guy.

at the Reformation day services yesterday. His text was from Mark 13:4-23 - "See to it that no one misleads you" - and his message was against this age and its wisdom that is deceptive and misleads many by deceptive messages preached by deceptive messengers. His message even had fire it as they say. I was talking with a few of his members afterward and he was trained etc. in the Wisconsin Synod. I don't know very much about that part but his message was very good. The singing...

I love them both, but the Gabrieli version strikes a deeper chord.

Is anyone here following NY-23?
