Wow! What has this to do with 'grow a heart?'..sm
Do you want to tell me that I should be 'merciful' in judging Michelle?
This your sentence shows me that you do not find her beautiful.
I would not say that she is ugly, but beautiful she is certainly not.

cyndiee obviously is the ultimate judge of any post here...all bow to cyndiee...

Cyndiee, why can't you just say

Oh, now I see.  I never thought of it that way.  What difference does it make about whether or not people should be eating at McDonald's??!.  Let's stay on point.


For another example, if you raise the minimum wage, that shampoo that you have to put off buying (and I applaud your use of a budget - more people need to practice self-restraint) will now go up in price because the people who stock the shelves where you buy that shampoo have now had a raise and that money has to come from somewhere.  The increased payroll cost will drive up prices everywhere. 


I think your earlier point about cracking down on welfare fraud is a great idea and I have been saying that myself for a number of years.


To Cyndiee:

Wow!  I can surely relate to you!  I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis three years ago and was hospitalized nine times for pancreatitis (caused by CF) since then.  I was just discharged from my TENTH hospitalization after having a very mild stroke last week.


I am prescribed a Duragesic patch (which costs almost $700 a month), other painkillers, and an array of other medications to treat associated problems with CF.  I obviously can't afford my medication.  (Unlike you, though, I did apply for SSDI when I realized that I just can't produce as I used to be able to do.  This is after working 40 consecutive years and paying into the system.  Like most applicants, I was denied and am awaiting a hearing which probably won't happen for another year or so.)  I can certainly relate to the difficulty in paying for medications, and I'm writing this post to you to inquire if you ever looked into the patient assistance programs offered by the manufacturer of the drug.


Right now, I am receiving my Duragesic and Lopid for free from the manufacturer.  After my most recent hospitalization, I've also been prescribed Plavix ($160 at Walmart) and Lipitor ($130 at Walmart).


Since I've already been approved by Pfizer (their "Connection to Care" program) for the Lopid, I am also automatically eligible to receive other products they manufacture (such as Xanax and the Lipitor) for free, as well.


It is very easy to apply, and it is based upon your income.  The income guidelines are very liberal, and if you don't qualify for free medication, you may very well qualify for the medication at a very reduced cost.


I found all of this on the internet by simply Googling to find the manufacturer of the drug and then seeing if they have a patient assistance program.


If it wasn't for these programs, I don't know how I would deal with my medical problems.  I have lived a pretty healthy life, so I can't complain even a little at being diagnosed with this horrible disease, especially when I consider how many babies and small children struggle with CF.


As far as the stroke, I THINK I'm supposed to have a CT scan next Wednesday (the 11th), and I have an appointment with my doc on the 18th of March.  (I just discovered the note about the CT scan and don't recall them talking to me about it before I was discharged, plus I had a CT scan when in the hospital, so I'm just not sure; I guess I'll have to call.  Guess my brain just isn't working -- not really anything new.  LOL)


Anyway, if you're having difficulty paying for your meds and don't have prescription drug insurance, PLEASE look into this option.  I can't begin to express how thankful I am that they exist and that they make applying so easy.


My best wishes to you!! 


Cyndiee, I think you need to read your own
post to God on the Gab board. You're not helping the division with comments like this.
BraVO, Cyndiee
The rest of you Christians, listen up & learn something.
They want it both ways, Cyndiee.
They don't want the lowest-paid workers to make a decent living wage, and they don't want social services to assist these people either. Their solution to the economic crisis is to have the government pay off their mortgage, so they can buy a big-screen television for their bedroom and put a new deck in the backyard. They talk about McDonald's but, in actuality, they are more like Burger King...they want it their way!
You are SO WRONG about Cyndiee
Just because you chose to accuse her of being such and such a way doesn't make it a fact.

Cyndiee is one of the most level-headed, INTELLIGENT posters on this board.

You, on the other hand, just seem to want to pick on her and call her names. She has been on this board a long, long time and some johnny-come-lately troll is not going to change who she is just by stating some misconstrued personal opinion.

You know nothing about this person you are slinging mud at.
Cyndiee, I am sorry, you are correct, we
do not know that Mr. Obama was ever addicted to the substance. He only admitted to having used it. We do not know for how long, how often, or even if maybe he still uses from time to time.

As I read back over some articles, most read as, like you say, he was young. And of course, like all of us, we do stupid things in our youth. This makes me even more angry! I was upset with the issue about Michael Phelps and this certainly doesn't help! He was chastised because he was someone special for our youth to look up to. Is this not a double standard?

Anyway, I certainly did not mean to be slanderous, nor did I mean to change the subject. I do think Rush paid his price for his addiction, as have members of my own family. He is right about 1 thing, the pubs need a candidate!
Cyndiee, please read Matthew 28:18-20
That is the Great Comission. That is the command of Jesus to ALL of his followers. The only reason I am telling you this is because you ARE a Christian (which I rejoice in, by the way).
Cyndiee, you are a very wise woman.
I have been reading your posts here and on the Faith board, and I must say that you are a breath of fresh air. My hat is off to you!
Cyndiee, you hang in there girl, I am
beginning to enjoy your posts. You are really sounding like a real AMERICAN GIRL! Pooey on this hate between the dems and pubs. I had a boss one time that I just could barely tolerate and had to sit right next to him every day. But, I respected his position of leadership. Mr. Bush is no longer our president, and I also respected his position of leadership as I do Mr. Obamas. That is not to say I agree with either of their policies or beliefs. As long as our country is divided by such bitterness and hate for each other just because one is a dem and one is a pub, we will never heal. We have to remember that we are ALL AMERICANS!

And just remember, everyone may not have been effected by this economy yet, but I truly believe they will feel it. I certainly would not be bragging about great everything is right now! I have grandchildren in college and, due to the market crash, we don't have near as much to worry about leaving to children and grandchildren!!
I'll miss you Cyndiee!
As one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, nonpartisan posters on this board. It is a shame that someone who is obviously unhappy in their own lives has decided to make your their target. Believe me, I feel for you. This happened to me a while back on a different board and it was very unpleasant.

I have enjoyed reading your posts and agree with you 99.9% of the time. You are a very warm, witty, insightful person and I will miss reading your posts.

What a shame that the darn trolls are spoiling this board for all of us. I have a feeling they are foreign MTs or management, trying to create divisions.

Take care of yourself and your family and when you feel strong enough, I look forward to seeing you back here. You will be sadly missed.
I hate to see you leave, Cyndiee. (sm)

Maybe you should just take a break instead.  I left for about a month, and now that I'm back, I have a little different perspective and don't get as involved as I used to.


I have enjoyed reading your posts because you DO try to be polite and find a middle ground where people can hopefully agree and discuss, instead of bash and condemn. 


Unfortunately, this board may represent a microcosm of the entire country, where people are fed up and angry and maybe a little frightened of what their futures may hold.  If we met each other on the street, we'd probably be friendly; however, the internet offers an aspect of anonymity (sp?), maybe what we see are just raw, unadulterated feelings of anger -- normal feelings, but directed at the wrong people -- people who are basically just like them.


I hope you decide to return to the board, and I hope people on this board could show a little more tolerance when dealing with the people to whom they respond, because we all ARE PEOPLE, with human feelings.


I think there are some intelligent people on this board -- both Republican and Democratic -- and who knows?  Maybe a little intelligent conversation could help to solve some of the terrible problems we face or at least let us know most of us are in the same boat, regardless of our political leanings.


Maybe you just need a break.  I hope so, and I hope to be reading your posts again soon.  Take care.

I enjoy reading your posts, Cyndiee (sm)
All the juvenile name calling happens when they don't have an intelligent answer to give.  Those comments fail or succeed on their own merit.  Usually, not much merit given to kindergarten tantrums.
Aacks Cyndiee - I guess I should have been more specific
in my message because I've read a lot of your posts and I agree with you most of the time.

There are however other people who don't watch a variety and only listen to the words of Olberman and Matthews and don't even listen to O'Reilly or Limbaugh but put them down. Those are whom I was talking about.

You have always presented yourself very well versed in a lot of different topics and sometimes I wish I could articulate myself as well.
Take heart, MT ME -
...Maybe they will knock the comet into the earth on July 4th and we won't have to worry about SCOTUS anymore, LOL!

or hopefully not, heh...
Take heart, AG. sm
Not all Jews believe like this poster.  I was reading recently about a conference in Washington by conservative Jews, Ben Stein being among them, and a lot of others, including many Rabbis, who are distressed at the pro-abortion stance of some Jews, including the partial birth abortion stance.  Not all Jews believe the same, just as not all Christians do.    According to the Mishnah (Sanhedrin 4:5): Whoever destroys one life is as if he destroyed a whole world, and whoever preserves a life is as if he preserved the whole world.  This was quoted at the conference.  No one person speaks for all.  Thank God. 
ive got more heart than you ever will
you have no idea about my life so don't assume i haven't seen someone (MANY) with a lot less than me.

2 things i lack? you're one class act i can tell. again, you have no idea about my life so to make a personal attack is ridiculous, ruthless, and sad
Please take this old saying to heart - sm.
"If one person tells you you're dead, seek a second opinion.

If 50 people tell you you're dead, lie down."

Do you think maybe there's a reason the overwhelming majority of people on here think JTBB is a douche? So, when "ONE" (gee, I guess that would be YOU) person starts stroking her monkey and kissing her a$$, don't be surprised that the "MOB" calls you on it.
heart of darkness?
Heart of darkness?  Because I want all to have their share in life and not suffer?  Heart of darkness?  WOW.  I would call the super rich who give nothing back to society the heart of darkness.  And to me Kruschev saying that was a dark mark on America that he was questioning how we, the richest country on earth, can have homeless when, Russia doesnt.  Yes, I believe in socialism.  Capitalism never has survived, it has always destroyed itself and from the way the world and America is going, Capitalism isnt gonna be around too much longer..It cant.  It is an ideology for the few, the rich few, not for the working masses.  No other industrialized country has capitalism like we do.  they meet the basic needs for their citizens..Do you know what some super rich call the working class..**the unwashed masses**.  I have a quite well off friend and he actually calls them that.  I was shocked when he said it in front of me..So you go ahead and defend the capitalist fat cats who think of us as **unwashed masses**.  I will defend the people.
Crushes my heart, actually
Doesnt it just crush your heart to think there are people out there that no matter how bad the country is being run, no matter that thousand are dying for a lie, no matter that hundreds died because FEMA just couldnt do the job, that senior administration officials outed a CIA operative, which endangered the United States and all who worked undercover with this operative, that Cheney met with oil officials, no doubt to create an energy policy favorable to the oil industry, on and on and on and on..they still defend this administration when the FACTS are in and more are coming in day in and day out.  An upright person would see what is going on and even though they are die-hard republicans, they would realize it is time to bring this administration to task because it is THIS administration not the whole republican party..but no, instead of attacking and questioning this administration, they choose to attack us, *little people* on numerous political boards throughout the internet..
Yes I have a heart and a brain
which are 2 things you lack.  If you were raped by your father would you have the baby?  Take a walk (not a ride) through the homeless or less than privledged areas in your community.  Get a grip lady - deal with reality and stop turning away every time you see someone who has alot less than you.  It's not murder you jack a-hole!
and she has a beautiful heart
to go along with her beautiful self
murderous heart
sounds to me as if you have the heart of a true American -NOT.  How fitting for you to say such a thing on 9/11- typical democrat?   I hope not.  shame on you for wishing someone's death.
Well, bless your heart.
Don't you talk pretty, now? Did I mess in your post toasties?

Townhall meetings = can't prepare because you don't know what the questions will be. Obama will NEVER agree to that. If he has nothing to hide and he is prepared, why won't he do it?

ACK! HEART ATTACK!
Did someone just apologize on this board?!?!??!


By golly I think we are gettin somewhere! Maybe we ain't all rurnt!

(South Georgia :-D )
Bless your heart! nm

Government take God....either he's in your heart
$$
Thank you from the bottom of my heart ...sm
for posting this, though I feel that it falls on deaf ears. Sadly the bigots and racists are still in denial. I am old and white and it is hard to pull the wool over my eyes too. I voted today for Obama/Biden. The going will be rough for whoever wins, but I have hope with Obama and I have not had this much hope in a long time.
This is so heart-wrenching. I know there is nothing I can say (sm)
to change your feelings on this. I am sure in many ways you are a very good person.  But this is just so sad.  Because I know there are many who agree with you....and the babies cannot speak up for themselves.   But earlier you did say that the baby moving around inside a mother is alive, just doesn't have a soul, just like you feel your cat is alive but doesn't have a soul.  Which would make abortion killing a human being who is alive.  The law doesn't know when a person gets their soul and neither do you or I.  God forbid we should kill a child and be wrong.
here's a girl after my own heart. I have
done my share of camping in the winter inside the house, too. We will probably have a cold winter, we usually do after a hurricane. I had whiskey barrel planters outside that had filled with water and never got any plants put in them and they froze solid that winter; I am 20 miles off the coast. My girlfriend went "skating" on the stock pond that winter and broke through the ice. She says her feet have been cold ever since. Looks like I will be spot heating again this winter, just where I happen to be in sweats and sweaters and an electric blanket or small heater. My son is a train engineer and he tried to tell the boys at the coal plant what would happen, but they were dems and their daddies were dems, etc., and oh, the ripple effect that is coming.
be still my pounding heart
Obama's personal habits are really no one's business but his own.  He is honest about the difficulty of giving up an addictive habit especially during the most stressful part of his life so far.  Your gripe tells us way more about your values than it does about Obama's.  Camel, needle, stone.
MAYBE it was just the heart of a much better woman!!
nm
A socialist's heart revealed. sm
No socialist society has ever flourished. You must know that.  Kruschev.  My God. I can't believe you said that.  Well, I am but a passing visitor and I just saw into the heart of darkness.  Woweee.
Dick at the Heart of Darkness
Dick at the Heart of Darkness
    By Maureen Dowd
    The New York Times

    Wednesday 26 October 2005

    After W. was elected, he sometimes gave visitors a tour of the love alcove off the Oval Office where Bill trysted with Monica - the notorious spot where his predecessor had dishonored the White House.

    At least it was only a little pantry - and a little panting.

    If W. wants to show people now where the White House has been dishonored in far more astounding and deadly ways, he'll have to haul them around every nook and cranny of his vice president's office, then go across the river for a walk of shame through the Rummy empire at the Pentagon.

    The shocking thing about the trellis of revelations showing Dick Cheney, the self-styled Mr. Strong America, as the central figure in dark conspiracies to juice up a case for war and demonize those who tried to tell the public the truth is how un-shocking it all is.

    It's exactly what we thought was going on, but we never thought we'd actually hear the lurid details: Cheney and Rummy, the two old compadres from the Nixon and Ford days, in a cabal running the country and the world into the ground, driven by their poisonous obsession with Iraq, while Junior is out of the loop, playing in the gym or on his mountain bike.

    Mr. Cheney has been so well protected by his Praetorian guard all these years that it's been hard for the public to see his dastardly deeds and petty schemes. But now, because of Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation and candid talk from Brent Scowcroft and Lawrence Wilkerson, he's been flushed out as the heart of darkness: all sulfurous strands lead back to the man W. aptly nicknamed Vice.

    According to a Times story yesterday, Scooter Libby first learned about Joseph Wilson's C.I.A. wife from his boss, Mr. Cheney, not from reporters, as he'd originally suggested. And Mr. Cheney learned it from George Tenet, according to Mr. Libby's notes.

    The Bush hawks presented themselves as protectors and exporters of American values. But they were so feverish about projecting the alternate reality they had constructed to link Saddam and Al Qaeda - and fulfilling their idée fixe about invading Iraq - they perverted American values.

    Whether or not it turns out to be illegal, outing a C.I.A. agent - undercover or not - simply to undermine her husband's story is Rove-ishly sleazy. This no-leak administration was perfectly willing to leak to hurt anyone who got in its way.

    Vice also pressed for a loophole so the C.I.A. could do torture-light on prisoners in U.S. custody, but John McCain rebuffed His Tortureness. Senator McCain has sponsored a measure to bar the cruel treatment of prisoners because he knows that this is not who we are. (Remember the days when the only torture was listening to politicians reciting their best TV lines at dinner parties?)

    Colonel Wilkerson, the former chief of staff for Colin Powell, broke the code and denounced Vice's vortex, calling his own involvement in Mr. Powell's U.N. speech, infected with bogus Cheney and Scooter malarkey, the lowest point in his life.

    He followed that with a blast of blunt talk in a speech and an op-ed piece in The Los Angeles Times, saying that foreign policy had been hijacked by a secretive, little-known cabal that hated dissent. He said the cabal was headed by Mr. Cheney, a vice president who speaks only to Rush Limbaugh and assembled military forces, and Donald Rumsfeld, a secretary of defense presiding over the death by a thousand cuts of our overstretched armed forces.

    I believe that the decisions of this cabal were sometimes made with the full and witting support of the president and sometimes with something less, Colonel Wilkerson wrote. More often than not, then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice was simply steamrolled by this cabal.

    Brent Scowcroft, Bush Senior's close friend, let out a shriek this week to Jeffrey Goldberg in The New Yorker, revealing his estrangement from W. and his old protégé Condi. He disdained Paul Wolfowitz as a naïve utopian and said he didn't know his old friend Dick Cheney anymore. Vice's alliance with the neocons, who were determined to finish in Iraq what Mr. Scowcroft and Poppy had declared finished, led him to lead the nation into a morass. Troop deaths are now around 2,000, a gruesome milestone.

    The reason I part with the neocons is that I don't think in any reasonable time frame the objective of democratizing the Middle East can be successful, Mr. Scowcroft said. If you can do it, fine, but I don't think you can, and in the process of trying to do it you can make the Middle East a lot worse.

    W. should take the Medal of Freedom away from Mr. Tenet and give medals to Colonel Wilkerson and Mr. Scowcroft


Let's get to the heart of what I originally posted...
CBS, the same network that trotted her back out on Sunday, filed a brief with the US District Court stating emphatically that she was not covert at the time of the incident, therefore the reporters in question should not have to reveal their sources. CBS, like the good liberal mouthpiece it is, was trying to defend the first amendment...freedom of speech and the right of reporters to keep their sources anonymous...you know, to PROTECT whistle-blowers. Any other time, you would be FOR that.

I was pointing out the hypocrisy...CBS filed a brief stating they did not believe she was covert. And then they bring her on their network, supporting her statement that she was.

You cannot have it both ways.
Both of those are facts.

And, logically speaking...if a person goes to the CIA every day, sits at a desk in the CIA offices, gets a check from the CIA, chances are that person works for the CIA. And since when do covert operatives get a desk job and walk in and out of Langley every day? Surely common sense should win out here. While she was covert at one time, she was not at the time of the incident.

There is much more common sense evidence on the side of that than on the side that she was still covert.

What about Richard Armitage? Is he a liar too?
I was only taught to put my hand over my heart for

I think his dad died of a heart attack at 70? nm

Well, duh. But she's only a heart attack or a stroke

Bless your heart.....I know you're trying
he said NONE of that stuff about any of his other opponents ability. 'nuf said.
You talk about not for the faint-at-heart,
www.100abortionpictures.com/Aborted_Baby_Pictures_Abortion_Photos/

And you are worried about legal wild game?
Oh, no...... those bleeding heart liberals
than we all sit around a campfire with them holding hands and singing Kum Ba Ya, all the while their plotting to slit your throat. No doubt there may be a few innocents in the bunch, but even then, one cannot be too careful. Even the innocents are being used by the terrorists to do their ugly deeds and they will do them just to keep their families safe or they use the mentally retarded to do their sick deeds!
Well, guess he has had a change of heart because
was not talking about last week, I was talking about seeing him yesterday and it is surprising how Obama is bringing everyone together!
I'd like to see some of the bleeding heart Bush haters sm
stick flowers in the Islamic terrorist's guns.  They would certainly get a chance.  They will kill them first. 
Let's not. Divert, bas, name-call to ur heart's content.
Seems like you are the only one who is allowed to dominate this board. This is what democracy looks like. Deal.
If it is moving and a heart is beating its alive.
Your denial does not change that.
You need to check your facts, dear heart.
Abortion is not a Christian issue. It is a humanity issue. So...

If you have personal bitterness over being molested by a priest, or if (more likely) you just like to jeer and flap around in a desperate attempt to put people off of religion because you have personally chosen to reject it, GET OVER IT.

Were your foolish comments meant to hurt my iddie biddie feewings? You failed. Miserably. You obviously have not even a minescule glimmer of a glimps of an idea about what 'the idea of christianity' is.

Oh, and by the way, I was adopted at the age of 6 moths.

And I have 5 adopted children.

Your comments like 'a large majority grow up bouncing around ... yadda ... yadda' show your glaring ignorance of the true situation.

Are you living on Romania or Bangladesh or something? Or are you just living in the State of Delusion? The need/want for adoptable babies OVERWHELMINGLY OUTNUMBERS the availability.

As an adoption advocate at my church, I fly to Russia twice a year to help desperate AMERICAN couples find children because THEY CANNOT find them in America.

Because irresponsible, shallow-mined, self-serving women choose to DISMEMBER their infants rather than let someone else have them. It's selfish. It's abhorrent. And it's wrong.

Too bad if that makes you uncomfortable. I could care less if you are offended by the truth. Even Jesus called a fool a fool. He had righteous indignation when it was required of Him.

Please, please tell me where all these orphanges and halfway houses full of unwanted babies are. I have a 17-page list of adoptive families desperately searching for them.

Well? I'm waiting...
Hey, don't lose heart....look what he has done in 3 short weeks with...
the power you folks gave him. He has a LONG time left to do his O magic. When we are all lining up for the checks (well, that is if you lose your job and don't have to pay taxes as those are the folks who are going to get the biggest handout), just remember who put the great benefactor in Washington there and gave him carte blanche. Uh...that would be you. :)
Oh it's so sweet you're concerned, you do have a heart!...nm
