Like this one a lot:

Can somebody explain to me why the clothes these days are so ugly? I've been searching for a new dress for Easter Sunday and OMG!!! I can't find anything I like!

A new dress for Easter Sunday has always been a big deal around here. When I was a little girl I used to get the whole outfit, the dress, usually a coat that matched it, a hat, shoes and... [Read More]

Today in the 1 year anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing and tomorrow is the 7 year anniversary if the Virginia Tech shooting. The worse mass shooting in modern U.S. history. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families impacted by all of this. I'm sure it's a difficult couple of days.

I'm glad I don't nap!

Study Suggests Naps Could Be Hazardous To Your Health � CBS New York

Watched a TV programme about restorative justice last night.
It can make dramatic a difference to the lives of all involved in criminal acts.

Are we becoming more civilised?

Restorative Justice

I have seen similar images, but never realised the scale of what I was watching, amazing stuff.

I take this morning's text from the Independent:

The mayor said he accepted the panel’s findings, which agreed that while hearing evidence about the challenges faced by disabled adults in modern society, Mr Martin commented: “Are we still letting those mongols have sex with each other?”

Mr Martin said he had apologised to the council “for using a word I shouldn't have,” and added that he would say sorry publicly “as I have been asked to”. He later told BBC

Campaigning mother Doreen Lawrence is being tipped as Labour's candidate to fight the London mayoral elections.

I know the lady is now a life peer, an OBE and a long term campaigner, but Lard Mayor of London material?

Hi, Cassy from Padiham in Lancashire. Just came across the forum again.

What does this sort of program accomplish, other than entertain the public.

Watched "Noah."

Very, very boring and disappointing. In fact even the presence of one of my favourite earthlings Emma Watson, didn't make it any easier to watch. And to make matters worse it was in 3D so we had to wear those glasses.

It should easily win the Worst Movie on The Golden Raspberry Awards.

Did anyone watch this fly on the wall programme?

BBC One - Panorama, Don't Cap My Benefits, Trail: Don't Cap My Benefits

The former chairman of the Conservative Party has said he hopes a dissident republican terror group will shoot Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness for attending the banquet at Windsor Castle and toasting the Queen.

Although I can... [Read More]

I'd like to hear what you think about this.
I'll say I think it is inappropriate. From what
bits I've heard, I seem to be in the minority,
not that that bothers me so much as I'm just curious.

Stripper goes to nursing home, elderly resident's son goes to court - CNN.com

Have any of you ever had anything like this ?

It started last Friday with the first of 4 dentist appointments. First of all to remove some back teeth that were giving me a problem.
The first one's came out fine but the last was an ordeal to get out. In fact I heard part of It ping across the room. It broke In two and he had to dig It out. When he finally got the last bit out, the tip of the root was missing, still embedded In there. To be fair, I never felt a thing thanks to... [Read More]

Very interesting that it all changes when changing your point of view.

Like real issues and real points of view?

Zoomed out landmarks

I must have missed this first time around in the news.
Watched a disturbing, thought provoking programme last night.

Marine 'A': Criminal or Casualty of War?

The questions it raised about whether a soldier should be judged by the same yardstick as civilians, or considering the pressure of active duty understand that these sort of lines... [Read More]

Why else would you spend so much time on Face Book, Twitter and other sundry online social networking sites? Is it because you are bored, because you cannot interact with earthlings face to face, are you alone, do you have too much time on your hands, do you want to �show off�?

Why can�t you be satisfied just talking to your spouse, kids, and friends? Reading a good book, watching TV? Going out to eat, going to the cinema, walking along the promenade or the beach?
