Bam,

I mean Sgt. Shriver (Eunice's husband and Maria's father).I don't remember his first name. He has alzheimer's. Or did he recently die? I heard a couple months ago that he was ill so if he died recently I didn't hear about it.

Thanks Beth. There are so many Kennedys, I had to think to make sure I had the right name. Joseph has been dead for some time now.

thanks for the info. i misread that, so i was confused on who.

Wow that's brilliant! who drew it?

friend of mine

Still sending me a copy?

Hit me up, stranger.

Be careful what you say on Facebook

I've heard that prospective employers and colleges are searching sites like Facebook and MySpace to see what they can dig up on someone before they accept them.

Viagra ice cream to go on sale at Selfridges - The Icecreamists will serve The Sex Pistol - an ice cream cocktail packed with libido-boosting ingredients and served with La Fee Absinthe

by: Serena Kutchinsky 10 August 2009

Londoners will be able to treat themselves to a new “vice cream” in autumn when pop-up ice cream boutique, The Icreamists opens in Selfridges .

Entitled The Sex Pistol, this bespoke creation is served as an ice cream cocktail and is packed with libido-boosting ingredients such as ginkgo, biloba, arginine and guarana. It’s served with a shot of the highly intoxicating La Fee Absinthe and is guaranteed to get your blood pumping. Customers are limited to one serving per person.

Matt O’Connor, founder of The Icecreamists, says: “This is the perfect après shopping treat. Just one Sex Pistol will leave you feeling energised and confident – but please, don’t pester the staff!”

The Sex Pistol costs £11.99 and is available to customers aged 18 and over.

That is good news, Olivant.

No more Mister Softee for you .

That facebook entry is a trip. That's why I'd never add a co-worker as a friend. No telling what you might vent on your homepage that they can see.

Any prospective or current employers can look for me all they want. My given name is not what is registered on facebook. I love having two identities.

Well aside from the fact that I hardly go to Facebook (I find it so confusing) . Both my daughers use it and use their real names. They have all their friends they communicate with and one just located a long lost high school friend. It sounds kind of nice, but I hesitate using my real name.

If I were to put in both my maiden/married name maybe I'd hear from old friends, but I too am afraid to do that. Yet, i've seen my neices/nephews from Michigan are using their real names and other people I know. I'm kind of concerned though about doing that.

TIS

The thing I find funny about finding old school friends on facebook is I'll get these "notifications", "Beth, one old friend wants to get in touch with you". Beth is not my real 1st name, and no one in school called me that. So how can they want to find me by Beth?

I don't know how any prospective employer could gather info from you on your facebook page since that person has to add you as a friend in order to read your page.

I have heard about things like that happening on Facebook!

People ringing in sick just because they want a day off and then going on Facebook to say what they have done even though people at work are on Facebook as well.

Folks should have more sense methinks

Don't think too hard, Yogi. You know what happened last time .

Yes,thinking too hard does give me a headache sometimes.....

Yogi, how's that Sex Pistol ice cream going over in England?

Perhaps some of you have heard about the following statement contained within a recent Investors Business Daily article about proposed health care reform in the US and its similarity to the health care system in the UK:

"People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless."

Of course, as legions of people have already pointed out, renowned 67 year old scientist Stephen Hawking who has ALS was born, raised, and has always lived in the UK.

Madonne!

I have just seen this story Oli. It's been an interesting day today, politically speaking anyway.


TIS

There is so much ridiculously misleading information on the healthcare plan. There's MISinformation circulating that all recipients of Social Security will have to attend mandatory euthanasia counseling sessions every five years.

There's MISinformation that this is modeled after the healthcare systems of Canada and the UK. And the point is made that actress Natasha Richardson was killed in Quebec because it took eight hours to get her treatment (mostly because she refused treatment at first). Then, anyone over 60 in the UK is refused stents and other cardiac treatments because the government would rather that they die.

Does anyone truly believe this bull???

Ok, I've been totally holding back on this and have other things currently on my mind, BUT in regards to the SS and senior citizen go, here's a very humorous tidbit:

Jon Stewart was talking about the "cash for clunkers" and went on to say (jokingly of course only as he can)about this "killing senior" thing, that the government now is planning a "Greenbacks for Granny" program.

TIS

The stories circulating are frightening. My mother hears plenty of them at her senior club. She said that they are often circulated by the same people who repeat the "not a US citizen" and "he's a Muslim" stories.

WTF?? I sent a wedding RSVP back 2 weeks ago (to arrive on the due date, of course ) and I get the mail today and guess what's in it? The RSVP I mailed 2 weeks ago!! "RETURN TO SENDER - INSUFFICIENT ADDRESS"!! The address, of course, is printed right on the envelope. And I must assume that since they live there, they know what the focking address is! The address comes right up on Google, too. Effing Brooklyn post office.

I sent my cousin an invitation to my daughter's graduation party. About 10 days after I mailed it out, I got it back in the mail with "Undeliverable As Addressed" stamped on it. I called my cousin and read her the address, figuring I had made a mistake with her zip code or something. Nope, it was right.

You and Geoff have stumbled onto a government program connected with health care reform. As part of the euthanasia component of Obamacare, people will suddenly disappear and returned mail will be one way to measure whether anyone noticed. Also, it's one way to "pre-select" those who will disappear. So, you might want to find out if anyone sent you mail that was returned.

Ridiculous. I think the Post Office wants us to buy more stamps or something. But invitations??

Remember this famous picture? It's from Woodstock and is on the cover of the album. This couple and the photographer were located and believe it or not are married and have been since 71. What a difference 40 years makes though.

For some reason I had to post the entire MSN page, and couldn't post only the video story, but you'll see this picture, click the video for the story. Hopefully the link won't expire.

Anyway, I never got to go to Woodstock, but anyone from my generation surely will remember the atmosphere of the "times" in which this huge event occurred.

Oh no! They sold out and joined the establishment!

Ha ha!!! Oh yes, and anyone over 30 was over the hill.

And to think, at that time, as long as they didn't do any bogarting, stayed clear of the narcs & pigs, and kept their bongs out of sight, everyone got along and they had a pretty far out time.

Far out, TIS!
