I had respect for GWB until we(my family) lost too many friends and family to this "war". You see, I have family and a lot of friends working on Ft. Bragg and enlisted in the military. I have heard too much disillusion from families of soldiers. I've seen too many families torn apart by the...

The Shrub invaded Iraq to avenge daddy and to leave a legacy. Funny thing is, Bush Sr. left things as they were in Iraq at the urging of his advisors because they knew that Iraq would fall into civil war(the same situation his son has created). To use a quote my great grandma used...

Born in Lumberton, NC. Lived in White Oak, NC then Cedar Creek NC. Back to White Oak until 1984 when we were hit by a tornado. Moved a mile down the road into the neighboring county(still counted as White Oak). Married in 1995, moved to Fayetteville, NC. Moved to Ft. Hood/Killeen TX for 2...

I sent you a PM, too!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has the "snore monster" hubby. I have a couch that I refer to as the "sleepy couch". That's where I end up when hubby gets to snoring too loud and I can't get him to stop. It's really bad during allergy season and when he's really tired. We have central...

Not a fan of tornadoes here either. I was 10 years old when my family went through a tornado. My mother, father, younger brother and I all ended up in the hospital with various injuries(some pretty severe like my mother having a 6 inch piece of flesh cut out of her hip). It took me years to...

I'm so jealous! I want snow! All we got today was cold rain......mind you, we NEEDED the rain. I was just so hopeful that we'd get an inch or 2 of snow.

Having been born and raised about 30 minutes from Fayetteville, NC I can honestly say it's not as bad as many say. Hubby is a former paratrooper(I had to date outside my county because of so many relatives) who hated Ft. Bragg til he met me and got out into the country. I've only ever lived...

Please send me the list at [email protected].

I do apologize if I have offended anyone on this thread. I read the thread, interested in what movie was causing such controversy. I was not aware that we were not supposed to express any opposing viewpoints(going on the theory of the Bill of Rights.....ie. freedom of speech, freedom of...

The Bible was written by man and therefore fallable. As I said before, if you eat shellfish, wear any fabric blends, eat pork then you have committed an abomination according to the Bible. The Bible is inspired by God but written down by man(and has been changed/rearranged/added to/taken away...

Perhaps we should stick to the "live and let live" idea. Not everyone follows the Bible, not everyone follows the same path(even among Christians not all follow the exact same path). I grew up in a Southern Baptist church. In college, I studied the Bible and comparitive religions(helped when...

Great ideas and suggestions! Thanks!

I've got a few extra crocks, packs of Twix-it clips, a box a various small items, a dozen Season's Best. I figured I'd take alot of small items(mini whips, can strainers, corn butters, etc.) before I restock for my November-December parties. What about stoneware items? Is it worth taking...
