CHRISTMAS WITH LOUISE (no, not me, lol) - 1/2/2011 As a joke, my brother used to hang a pair of pantyhose over his fireplace before Christmas. He said all he wanted was for Santa to fill them. What they say about Santa checking the list twice must be true because every Christmas morning, although Jay's ' stockings were overflowed, his poor pantyhose hung sadly empty. One year I decided to make his dream come true. I put on ... 9 response(s), 7 votes |

Oh what a wonderful thing, a Congressman shutup - 12/29/2010 On December 18 2010 I saw a Congressman at a loss for words. It happened on the Huckabee t v show. Governor Huckabee was discussing the recent tax legislation with New York Congressman Anthony Weiner(D). Of course the Congressman was attempting to spin the normal Democrat spin about giving tax breaks to the "rich". The Congressman used the analogy of a construction worker working a lot of hours ... 3 response(s), 6 votes |

why are there so few paying members in this site? - 12/26/2010 Interesting how difficult it is to connect personally with a person. I searched men looking for women in age bracket 67-80 and I have to wonder how interested these men are or how cheap they might be as out of the entire group there was only two paying members. I, of course, not having joined monetarily as yet am also unable to contact even the one gentleman who is a gold member. I wonder if ... 7 response(s), 5 votes |

GOING BACK 28 - 12/22/2010 My father and I left three days later, my mother chose not to accompany us, maybe if I had seen the plane before we were going to fly in I might have changed my mind too…It was a very bumpy ride, no sooner had we left the tarmac before I was sick, but my father was smarter this time and came prepared for inevitable. The trip to Cuzco took about six hours of a hellish ride, but finely we were ... 2 response(s), 5 votes |

Where do you hang your mistletoe? - 12/22/2010 Under the mistletoe wasn't always a place to be kissed. In Roman times, this white-berried plant was more a symbol of peace than romance. When people warring with each other met beneath a mistletoe-covered tree, they would throw down their weapons - at least temporarily. Later on, in England and Scandinavia the plant was hung over entryways; anyone passing under it was supposed to come in peace ... 4 response(s), 2 votes |

Do you hang up your Christmas stocking in hope Santa Claus will visit? - 12/21/2010 Santa Claus wasn't always the round, cheerful figure we know today. He was first pictured as a rather dignified person in long robes. That's because the idea of this gift-bringer is based on St. Nicholas, a real 4th century bishop. One of the stories about him is this: Hearing of a nobleman who had no money for his 's dowries, St. Nicholas rode by their house and tossed three bags of gold. One ... 8 response(s), 6 votes |

Dang, and I thought it was Wencles - 12/21/2010 Good King Wenceslaus, back in the 10th century, brought a feast to a poor family and started one of our most cherished Christmas traditions - sharing food with others.

Moved by the sight of the poor man trying to find firewood, ... 2 response(s), 4 votes |

Are you decking your halls? - 12/16/2010 Decking the halls with boughs of holly (and other evergreens) did not start off as a Christmas ritual at all. Indeed, this custom goes back to a Roman festival honoring Saturn, the God of Agriculture. During this celebration, which was held around December 25, Romans would fill their homes with greens and give each other holly wreaths as symbols of friendship. In later years, the first Christians ... 4 response(s), 6 votes |

Straight up or down vote - 12/16/2010 As most have heard the Anointed one Obama came up with a deal on tax rates. Well if this thing is passed now with all the add-ons it turns into a Christmas tree. I wonder just why they can not have a straight up or down vote. The "problem" that they have is not a revenue problem as they preside over the largest pile of money in the world. They just mismanage it and then have the nerve to complain ... 5 response(s), 8 votes |

The first Christmas tree - 12/15/2010 The first Christmas tree, legend has it, was an evergreen that sprang from the center of an oak cut down by St. Boniface in Germany, in the 8th century. The oak was sacred to the pagan religion practiced then, and chopping it down symbolized that the old beliefs were no more. As the new tree reached up to the sky, St. Boniface told the crowd: " This... shall be your Holy tree. It is the sign of ... 2 response(s), 3 votes |

MY ANSWER TO 'CYJLIZER' ON IS MARRIAGE OBSOLETE - 12/7/2010 To paint a part of the population of this country with one stoke horrifies me. I just wonder how it is possible to put such a stigma on thousands of and their parents. I understand that maybe of religious reasons, and maybe you feel it morally wrong, and maybe you are afraid it would happen to somebody you know and love.

A Bum? - 12/4/2010 If the government were a person, we would consider it a bum, a failure, a troll living underneath a bridge-somebody who can't get a job, can't hold a job, can't live within its means. All it can do is ask for another handout. The government is a bum. 3 response(s), 13 votes |

GOING BACK 26 - 12/2/2010 It was about a couple of days before I had to return to Lima and back to school, I woke up with high temperature and chills, the local doctor/vet was called in and his diagnosis was Malaria, a little pesky mosquito had left its mark. I was severely ill for a couple of weeks, was made to drink quinine, over and over again, it is the bitterest taste imaginable. I don’t remember much about those ... 6 response(s), 5 votes |
