Would Be Ghost Haunting

PeoplePC-News; "CHESTERTOWN,Md.- It turned out to be just a bug on the lens of a security camera. The would-be ghost haunting Kent County Court House is an anomaly that's happened. On July 29, for a little more than an hour, a courthouse security camera showed a round, translucent, white object that seemed to 'walk' up and down a set of stairs inside the newer wing of the courthouse. A security officer first saw the strange light on a delayed video and then live on the video system. 'I've seen it so many times, it's not funny. Part of the courthouse dates to 1860,newer half constructed in 1969 on top of a former cemetery. Some courthouse employees said the anomaly on the video confirmed what they believed - that the courthouse is haunted. Said they have heard strange noises such as doors opening and closing when they were alone in the building."
Sounds like a job for * Ghost - Busters *. This was cute, it's funny how our eye's can play tricks on us...

Why Kerry Is Fit to Be President

washingtonpost.com; "Kerry will do this difficult job. Knows what it's like to served under leaders who lacked the moral clarity or the political backbone to sustain an effort from beginning to end. Personal experience and practice thats strong and determined diplomacy. Nothing teaches you how to be a good leader better than having the opportunity to follow. In the military and out, Kerry has this experience. Knows how dependent you are on the person in charge and how essential it is for that person to speak clearly, forcefully and with moral conviction. He knows how terrible it is to follow someone who is lost -- morally and politically as well as geographically. He knows how vital it is that we sustain whatever it is we begin, and that we support our troops all the way to the end."
I feel I have to agree with what I have read above. As for Mr. Bush I have had about as much as I want to take anymore, with broken promises that never happen or help the working folks.

No Apologizes For Bush-Bashing

PeoplePC-News: "Disputed Headline Filmmaker Michael Moore makes no apologizes for his Bush-bashing documentary 'Fahrenheit 9/11, his lawyer says he'll make no apologies for its use of an Illinois-newspaper headline. The (Bloomington)headline, flashed briefly in the film, came from a letter to the editor about the 2000 presidential election The newspaper fired off a letter to Moore and his production company last month that it says was demanding an apology and $1 in compensatory damages."
Okay I can see their abit upset because of the high profile Movie it was shown in, but look at all the papers they probley sold now because of all the issues with -9/11 Book and Movie on the market. Or are they really upset because they feel they should of got a- $$ * fee * for the news-paper that was used with their name on it? Who Knows!!

Same Sex Marriages

PeoplePC - News: "SAN FRANCISCO - The California Supreme Court on Thursday voided the nearly 4,000 same-sex marriages sanctioned in San Francisco this year and ruled unanimously that the mayor overstepped his authority by issuing licenses to gay and lesbian couples. The court said the city illegally issued the certificates and performed the ceremonies, since state law defines marriage as a union between a man and woman. Must wait until courts resolve the constitutionality of state laws that restrict marriages to opposite-sex couples. 'Instead of helping his cause, Mayor Newsom has set back the same-sex marriage"

I have to say I really feel sorry for all the couples that now learn that they are not married anymore, Why because they were told it was okay to do this and they did. Some of them bought homes together,had children and all kinds odd different things.I personally feel that the ones who are already married should be allowed to stay that way, it's not their fault somebody passed a law then toke it away. Why should they be punished? p.s. - I am a straight female, but believe everyone has the right to choose how they want to live their own life.

Nude Boaters Stop Traffic

PeoplePC-News: "CHARLOTTE, N.C.- Motorists on Interstate 77 have complained about nude boaters, and others have stopped to watch. Attracted attention of drivers at times halting traffic. They get right up,and they take their clothes off, three calls the sheriff's office has gotten complaining of flashers, and he has heard of at least one accident blamed on flashers. When he heard the honking of tractor-trailers and saw stopped traffic. Then he saw three naked women in a boat near the causeway."

Laughed when I read this, wonder how long the lines was backed up guess we all like abit of naughty once in awhile.Look at the bright-side of this.Those Nudists, didn't have to worry about any Tan-lines..LOL

Embrarassing For Bush

The Times-News Online-Twin Falls;"cannot wait for Shrub to speak. This deer-in-the-headlights, C-student can't recite his name without cue cards. Plan? What is Bush's plan? Kill, kill, kill, with no idea how to leave Iraq. This is no war -- it was an invasion. Cannot wait for the debates. Hey, how about a Scrabble contest. Winner is president."
I also feel that if Mr. Bush was so concerned about the American children and how the people felt, All the things he promised would of already been taken care of. I know kids leaving High-school and can't even fill out a Job. Appt. Right. All Bush cares about right now if if he gets to keep his job Come on people wake-up and smell the coffee, it's time to sent this good-ole-boy Back To The Ranch..

FDA Study Confirms antidepressants Risks

washingtonpost.com:"Drugs Linked to More Suicides Among Children,that antidepressants medications were associated with an increased risk of suicide among children,officials say they do not plan to discuss the data. Authorities warned physicians not to prescribe Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa and similar drugs to depressed children. Given the risks,some may want to officially discouraging the use of antidepressants for children. Found the risk of suicidal behavior varied widely among the drugs and between different trials of the same drug."
What is the most frightening about all this talk on depression drugs, beside a lot of Adults are taking these pills too!! We don't know how its going to effect our children, because we put them on it to help make their life's better for them and us.. So if these pills are effecting them in a negative way we sometimes never know. Unless they do something to make us see. Usually by this time its really bad or to late!! The hardest part as a parent myself, is what if its was to late? Scares me because I have children with mental-health Problems, the Doctors are always changing their Meds. For one reason or another at times, I feel what good are these pills? Then remember, life was hell before they went on them,. Now their zombies or just a bit better... But not much. As a parent you get to the point of wanting to just taking them off all Pills. Because you feel guilty making your child take a pill for the rest of their life. I told a Doctor this once, still feel this way and wonder why I even make my children take pills.. But I keep giving them those *Damn pills * Hoping.....

avn.com; "Be all that you can be - and no more. That's the message the owner of an adult video company wants to give women serving in the nation's armed forces, where they can receive free breast augmentation, liposuction and other cosmetic surgery from surgeons honing their battlefield skills. Employs only "all natural" actresses in his films, said he will give $500 in lingerie and a day at a spa to any woman honorably discharged from the military with her natural breasts intact. Military should be spending its money on bullets, not boobs."
I know this post is abit off in taste ,but thought a few would enjoy reading this if nothing else. Sure is nice the government has so much money to pay for bigger boobs, to get women to in-list! This is so Stupid!! If you as a women are only enlisting to get your boobs bigger then you have some really personal problems, war is not about looking sexy, it's about fighting for a cause and bringing peace to all infield. My lord what next ?? * stomach by-past * to help you lose weight !! LOL...At least this would be a good thing, for over weight people. Look at the bright side of this one, if they got this surgey. They would at least be in better shape to endure the boot-camp training. This would be better then having big boobies. What are women suppose to do with them out on the war- front any way? Use them to flash the enemy....Sorry STUPID!!

Poor Verses Rich In Idaho

The Times-News presents: Idaho-The economic gap between jet-set millionaires and working stiffs grew further apart
The disparity between rich and (poor increased in 25 of the state's) 44 counties, according to U.S. Census Bureau calculations
the theory that Idaho's middle class is shrinking, incomes become more unevenly,government will have to step in and fill the gap for living necessities with programs such as Medicaid, food stamps and housing subsidies. If there are more poor people, then the state will spend more on poverty programs.Clark County along the Montana boarder, has the highest level of income.
Well I sure am living in the wrong part of the state according this this report,No wonder my pay-check falls short every month. And why our Homeless Shelters are always full. People can't make it if the miss one pay-check they become homeless. Never mind thinking about getting sick ...Remember Bush don't think we have a health care problem, least that's what he claims. Said he's giving us afford-able health care.. Ya I got some magic beans too wants buy them!! As far as I am concerned Removing Bush in November can't happen fast enough. Sooner we get Mr. Bush out of office, the better. Then maybe things will start to turn around for the poor work class. I know it won't happen over night but we have to start some where. I hope soon because the only thing we seem to be building in Idaho anymore are; Prisons & homeless shelters, do we really want that kind of world to live in? Take Bush out of office come November Go !! Cast your vote. Or your next home may be at one of these place above, Only you can change things with your vote.

What Makes People Cheat ??

WebMD;"Are you a cheater? You may not think so. Sure, you may not be perfect, but you probably consider yourself a reasonably honest citizen. But think harder. In high school or college,Ever padded your resume with a misleading or outright false job description? Have you taken an extra deduction or two on your taxes,maybe writing off a dinner with friends as a business expense? Do you really pay for that deluxe cable line-up, or is your hook-up not quite legit? If you're guilty of any of these sins, you're not alone.If cheating is more common, the question is, why are we more likely to cheat than previous generations? And what does cheating do to us? How does it harm our society, our families, and ourselves?"
You may ask why did I post this?.. Well because of all the lieing going on in the News-Today... I don't understand a lot of whats happening in the world today, anymore the next person does, but I remember when growing up you just didn't think about telling a lie unless it was going to save you from a-butt whipping, then you prayed they never would find out. But today people roll a lie off their tongues like its nothing. It's sad ..we need all to start a change to this some-where, they only place I know is in your own homes. I tell my children I would rather know the truth and be a little mad, then to know they didn't have enough faith in me to tell me the truth. I also tell others I don't care if it hurts my feelings, at least... I know how they really feel. So-this is what I'm trying to doing in my life to change things. What do you do and how do you handle it when it happens to you? Leave me a comment and tell me what you do, or how you feel about this article.

Interesting Olympic Facts

about.com;"Created by Pierre de in 1914, the flag contains five interconnected rings on a white background. The five rings symbolize the five significant continents and are interconnected to symbolize the friendship to be gained from these international competitions. The rings, from left to right, are blue, yellow, black, green, and red. The colors were chosen because at least one of them appeared on the flag of every country in the world. The Olympic flag was first flown during the 1920."
I hope everyone watching at least some of the Games on TV this week I watched the opening day and it was so breath-taking to watch everything they did. My fav. Thing was the man who balanced himself on the giant cube in the air while it turned.

Ancient History of the Olympics

about.com; "Olympics were held every four years at Olympia,where all free Greek men were entitled to compete.The first Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C. and the last in A.D. 393,One Olympic origins story, mentioned in Greek Tragedy and the House of Atreus, tells of how Pelops won the hand of his bride, Hippodamia, by competing in a chariot race against her father, King Oinomaos of Pisa. Pelops conspired to win the race by replacing the king's chariot's lynchpins with ones made of wax which melted on the course, throwing the king from his chariot and killing him"
I put posted this because I thought these facts were interesting to read , they helped me to understand the back-ground of the Olympics and why we have them today.

Five Now Dead From West Nile Virus

About 500 people have been infected so far this year. California Department of Health Services said: One of the primary breeding sources of mosquitos is stagnant, standing water."
This is really a scarey thing for me, because I am fair-skinned and they seem to really love my blood, I've tryed just about everything on the market to keep them off!! nothing works %100 for me... So far I have been lucky.

Haunted Barbie Doll

about.comparanormal;"This happened my freshmen year of high school. My best friend, Red, and I had planned a sleep-over at my house, which later turned out to be a weekly ritual. After school she came home with me,and we started our homework. As we were doing our homework we noticed a slight rustling sound around the room. Being as my little brother had a mouse we let it go as his mouse got loose, and went back to our homework. When we were done with our homework, we went down to my room to watch a little television. To give you the layout of my room, it was very small. It had a shelf that ran the length and width of the room. Started at one wall and followed the wall around the room to the closet. I had books, movies and a Happy Birthday Barbie that I had received from my grandmother for my birthday sitting on this shelf. We were watching a movie, and we heard the rustling sound again. Pushing the sound again as being my brothers mouse we went back to the movie. It wasn't until my little brother walked into my room with his mouse in his hands that we realized the rustling had to be something else. Red and I started looking around the room and at the same time our eyes fixed on the Happy Birthday Barbie that happened to be gliding along the shelf her dress brushing the top of the shelf. Freaked out I asked Red if she saw the barbie moving. She said,"Yes." Being the coward that I am I left the room as quick as I could, Red not far behind me. This is where it gets weird, and I promise this is the truth. Red and I were upstairs sitting on the couch finishing the movie we were watching on television. When we heard the rustling again. We both looked toward the kitchen where the sound was coming from and there sitting on the kitchen floor was the Happy Birthday Barbie that we had left sitting on the shelf in my room. The next morning the barbie found herself in the local garage sale. After that the rustling stopped and Red and I have never heard it again."
Will be Posting: A different strange-story each week that I find, so if you have one you would like to share please send it to me.As for this story, think I willbe keeping a closer eye on my daughters * Barbie's * from now on..lol

Kerry Supporters Worry

PeoplePC-News: "WASHINGTON - Sen. John Kerry has opened narrow leads in Florida, Michigan, New Hampshire and a handful of other battleground state Buoyed by the polls, Kerry's team is growing confident - maybe too confident for some Democrats. Several supporters worry that rising expectations are setting the party up for disappointment should the race tighten after Bush's convention in New York, which begins Aug. 30. You never want to point to your best poll numbers or your worst poll numbers, because neither hold, states appear to tilt toward Kerry."
I agree to some point on this we are always told never let the others side know everything your doing,leave something for a surprise. I hope Bush...Wait!! I pray Bush don't get re-elected!

Second Teen Convicted in Egging

Washington Post: "Second Teen Convicted in Egging Son of Alexandria City Council Member Sentenced The teenage son of an Alexandria City Council member was found guilty yesterday of destruction of property for his role in an egging incident at the home of a parent-activist who was trying to have a School Board member removed from her position. After an hour-long trial, General District Court Chief Judge R.E. Giammittorio found Samuel Howard Woodson IV, 18, guilty of the misdemeanors and ordered him to pay a $250 fine, which was suspended upon completion of 25 hours of community service. While Giammittorio said there was no evidence that Woodson threw eggs at the house, he determined that Woodson aided and abetted the July 2 incident, an attorney for Woodson, argued that there was no evidence that his client had tossed any eggs."

I remember when I was a teenager, and a few kids I knew did that to someone and it was a mess,what's even worse is if its done to a car. Because it will ruin the paint on the car if you don't get it off right away.

Twinfalls Idaho Jail Dishonest about inmate Health

The Times-News Online; "Employee of the Twin Falls County jail, has raised my dander with his response blatantly false information Prisoners are denied medication. The reason given was The Twin Falls Idaho County commissioners did not want to pay for it. Regarding a tantrum that resulted in solitary confinement for one prisoner because they refused to buy his medication , which was the outcome of the total frustration of being unheard and ignored by those in authority."
I guess we don't really know what goes on when someone goes to jail or prison do we? Figured they are giving 3-meals a day and a warm bed, and if they had medical needs the state takes care of it, till their time is up. But it seems from this article, a lot more happens behind those steel doors than the public really knows. I have a friend who's daughter got the pleasure of spending some time in this jail and she claims: At the door where the prisoners enter to go to their cells their is this good size-sign, supposely on the wall, for all in-mates to read and it says...GOD STOPS HERE.... Well I guess human kindness does too!!
