Sun Queen, pretty soon they will be trying to dress like "Lady" Gaga. So maybe Bubble Guppies and Dora the Explorer aren't so bad after all. It would scare the H out of me to be a parent of a young child today.

Hey Chatteress, you get a badge of courage for enduring that forum. Any political forum you have to expect wacko's. Who needs the extra stress and temptation of throwing the computer. Mean, rude and nasty, wrapping themselves in the flag, then wouldn't help a stranger if they were on fire. I've seen all to many of that type.

I have told our kitties time and time again that there are two rules in this house by which they need to abide:

1) no shedding
2) no hairballs.

But do they listen??? Nnnnooooooooooooo. My big heavy quilt is now in the wash machine. It'll take half the day to dry.
Your "kiddies" have their own haven...it's obviously called the quilt. I miss not having pets so much. I was over at my son's today and the "non-shedding" little West Highland White terrier was jumping all over my black pants and leaving white hair everywhere.

Email add's are also copied from mass emails being sent. I suggest, if you send an email to more that one person, use BCC.
I had to completely delete my Yahoo and Yahoo Messenger account in order to stop my email address from being used.
No matter what they say, Yahoo is an unprotected site.
They will block a member from sending out before blocking a scammer from breaking in.

Just some friendly advise.

Yeah,,, I'm aware of this type of nonsense and it makes me mad to think that my email address is dispersed with junk emails like this. Why people do it is beyond me.

After digging deep enough, I found enough information about these sites, so I filed an IC3 complaint with the FTC. and the Internet Crime Commission.

I was part of the "illegal immiigration" forum for the first 6 years i've been with CDF.
Moving to OK from SoCal created a big change in my lifestyle.

I think being on that forum would be like hitting your head against the wall. Someone slamming my head into the wall and not being able to stop it, that's kinda how I feel about illegal immigration. It makes me very angry and I can't stop it. This next year all the politicians will be pandering, not wanting to offend any potential voters over the issue.
