One of you set up a senior chat room. I have it bookmarked on my work computer, but need the link for home. Can someone email it to me? Is it actually being used? Nobody was ever there when I'd check it. Thank you!

Hubby wrote LadyG in a card he hid in my suitcase when I went on vacation with a girlfriend. I liked it, so that's why I use it. I imagine Goldwing has something to do with a Harley, or some bird, but he'll have to tell us. What about the rest of you?

I've met some traditional catholics, and it seems to me that they're living in a completely different world. I'm talking about the catholics who don't follow the current hierarchy of the Catholic Church. They practice the catholic faith of how it was before the changes from the Second Vatican Council. To me they seem a bit looney and not with the times. (dress, fashion, way of talking, etc.) Some of these types of catholics don't even believe the current pope is a pope and elect their pope. And my god ... they have HUGE families! Families of 15 to 20! Why are these types of catholics so weird?

Yesterday, after my neighbour Boris, came over and asked if he could borrow a teaspoon of sugar to water his car with, I realized after he left.. Boris has been dead for 5 years. But that's not all... I found my pill bottles after years of them missing. My doctor told me I to look every where for them and I did. Well, after Boris appeared for sugar, they reappeared in the cupboards. What the hell is going on, Beth? Beth!? Are you there?

okay so I am mexican. im not proud of it but I am proud of being hispanic. now, I came here when I was three and love it here, since from what I heard it sucks on the other side. and based on the amount of people trying to get in the US, Im guessing its way better here.

No im not ashamed of being mexican but I would never wear anything with the word mexico in it, nor do I have a flag. So is it okay for me to love the US better or do I have to be proud of where I am originally from?

To all bloggers: I have been waiting for 2 1/2 years, for my Level 3 Request for Review, by Administrative Law Judge, with Social Security Disability. Has anyone else had this same problem, of having the federal government REFUSING to review cases, in a timely fashion. If so, how have other people handled the federal governments REFUSAL to handle its work, in a timely fashion?

I have to wonder why final disability claims are handled by bureaucrats, such as Administrative Law Judges. It may sound stupid but I believe that the question, of whether a person is disabled should be left to doctors, who work in cooperation with groups which work with disabled people, on a daily basis. It IS true that mental disabilities are harder to judge, than physical ones, but I have to believe that people, such as therapists, are much better qualified to judge disability than bureaucrats. So, I guess that the main question is: Why do we put up with this system?

how can i grow some balls, i cry off of stoopit stuff and i dont have balls,like, when im playing sports, people will do something like throw MY basketball somewhere and i cant get it back, and i wont do anything.

also, little kids from ages 6-12 taunt me, i could be walkin down the street and some kid will be like "lookit u you big bum, u aint shlt!" and i will say something like isnt it past his bedtime, and he will say isnt it my bedtime, and i will feel stoopid because i DO have a bedtime and i probably go to bed earlier than he does.
, its like ima joke, sorta like the movie "me. myself, and Irene"

just answer how i can get some backbone plz, dont say something like "dont let poeple push u around!" or, "tell those kids to kindly give u your ball back"

that doesnt help me at all

As if every one of us walks around flaunting our promiscuity.

I think I've seen and know about the same amount of homosexuals in serious loving relationships as heterosexuals. Well, I mean after the ratio is taken into consideration, so more like an average.

But this generalization seems to me incredibly hypocritical. How can they justify it, what are they using to back it up?

How do you guys feel about having the "LGBT" category grouped with the "senior citizens" and "people with disablities" category? Does it bother you at all?

when and how did you realize that you were attracted to white men?

for me it was from a first love from high school ten years ago, funny though also that my mom told me the nurse who helped deliver me at my birth was a black lady and i got a first kiss in the first grade from a little black girl, but i never realized my attraction until high school. I have dated a few other races but since my first love,(that i wasn't involved with sexually by the way) I can't let go of my attraction

Actually, to tell you the truth I don't like being American at all, maybe like 1 percent of me likes being American, but that' it. I mean I embrace my ethinicity more, and I call myself Southeast Asian/Filipina. I have never called myself American. I mean I like in the States and all, but just don't like being called an American. There's definitely not something wrong with me, right?

I am 5'7" tall female and often I am called as a short one. Where I am originally from I have never been considered as short, not really tall but not short at all. Am I really a short one? What is interesting who calls me short they all are shorter than I am, I have never been described as short by people who are taller than I am.

I used to love to watch the spooky shows (nowadays they don't have spooky shows, they have horror shows that are gory and gruesome).

I thought Boris Karloff made a very convincing "assembled" man; Bela Lugosi's eyes were piercing and hypnotic; and my favorite was the simple, plain-faced man who could be anybody, but usually a werewolf -- Lon Chaney.
