'WOW, now I have heard it all. You are complaining about a reverend PRAYING TOO MUCH??? Seriously?? There are way too many other things to stress yourself out over that are much more of a travesty than a reverend praying too much!!!"

LOL...good one!..Oh, good afternoon, hope you are having a good day.

I dont mind prayer, I need all the prayer I can get. This is a real cruel world so if someone wants to pray for all of Gods creations then so be it. Some people only see the negative in everything. It is easier that way. I mean really, who on this earth truly wants to be happy? lol..8-)

Happy Friday, T-man! I look forward to reading your thoughts on the hot GOLO issues!

Good afternoon T-Man, thanks for the advice. I have some money in stock that if need be can be used towards a down payment. I got a couple of extensions on my car pymt and I didnt know that the extensions didnt extend the repay term of my car loan and that it would be added towards my last car pymt which is to be made this September. I either pay an eight hundred and something dollar payment then OR pay the differ subtracting my six hundred stimulus check from that amount come Septemeber. I hope that made sense.

Yeah, I have several credit cards and my goal is by 10/1/08 to have everything zeroed out on my credit. I will only have one credit card and from that point I will try to save or pay off my last card which has the highest balance. I am trying to get my credit score up too. I would feel more comfortable knowing that I paid all my credit cards off before talking to a lender about what I am elgible for. I need to be doing my research. I dont know anything about buying a home. Not sure if I want a house, townhouse or condo. Really dont want yard work. Dont know where I want to live but I do know where I DONT want to live..LOL..and all this other stuff. I get a headache just thinking about it. Thanks for the input. When I make my final car payment I will be so glad...that is money that can be saved or money that can go to my final credit card. I got a lot of goals within the next couple of months. One credit card a month until they are all 0. Wish me luck! Hope you are having a good day!

I don't know if Obama sees eye-to-eye with Ayers. That's the problem, it's an unknown. But Ayers is bad news - even today. I've seen video of him justifying his bombings in the 60's and 70's, and he even said that while that what he did before was a long time ago, he can't be certain that he wouldn't condone it today! Far worse than I thought... I'm sitting in front of my computer absolutely shocked at what I have found.

Hey, T-Man, never realized until today that you are a vegetarian too. There seem to be quite a few on golo...good to know! It never ceases to amaze me how offended people get by something others are NOT doing (but I think it is their guilt speaking). Anyway, have a great day.

Check out my "Race for the Cure" blog! Have a good day!

My newest blog has sources listed (but only because it's from a liberal website) Check it out - even liberals want some answers!

so how do we get everyone to go buy a bike or moped????

I think I would be satisified if the questions could be asked, and he would give some direct answers...By the way, I would love to see Hillary's version of a debate with him - no moderators...I think the moderators have kept us from being able to see true pictures of all the candidates, from the beginning of last year's initial campaigning

"Gotcha wonder, just referencing slayers post, "We usually go to the one in Moorehead in October."

I understand what you are saying , but I didn't want others getting confused to where the seafood festival was this month.

I'll get it fixed right now, Thanks.

"My wife does all of the cooking, as I am terrible at it, but we do have a ton of veggie cookbooks. I will check with her and let you know which ones she likes.

T"

Thanks! I'd be interested in hearing if she has a favorite.

hehe...don't forget to vote for McCain...(lol)

well..I guess the tape that I placed with you with the subliminal message...McCain, McCain...didnt work...dont be surprised if you are getting ready to fill out the ballot and your hand goes to the right...hahahaha

"Jason was happy to go home because he can finally go smoke some dope."

LOL...I wouldn't doubt it. Have a great day.

Ugh...you just dashed my dreams. My last two digits are 94. I was thinking mine might go out today. I filed but it wasn't turbo tax but I did have them take the cost of the filing out of my refund. PFFT!

T, Thanks for the comments. I agree that no one is going to get elected proposing higher fuel standards and lower speed limits but those are both reasonable proposals. The American public is as culpable in this as the government. In may just take out of control oil costs to make anything happen.

we filed april 13th, shouldnt we be getting our soon ?

Hi, T-man - thanks for the back-up yesterday. I'm still new at this, but I learn pretty fast. :-) I just get a little peeved at some folks who seem to think they have the monopoly on basic human decency. Looks like you do, too. Have a great weekend!

I think I'll do fine - I'm a process development scientist, and years ago I was a computer programmer, so logical thinking comes pretty natural. Funny, though, how she tried to shift my focus, was unsuccessful but still accused me of it. Mutual respect? I applaud you for it, but I'm so sick of the juvenile panties-in-a-wad trivialization tactics. Oh well, there are lots of good people on Golo - I'm glad I'm meeting a few. :-)

Good Monday morning to you! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and an awesome day ahead!

Good Morning T! Happy Humperz Day!

Thanks for the backup!

Oh, not a problem. You and I seemed to be on the same page. I hated to leave, but I had to take my girls to the park. Have a great afternoon.

Good evening T-Man and thanks for the birthday wishes! Hope you had a wonderful day and awesome evening. Looks like a storm is a brewing..grab the umbrella!

got it, T-Man!

Hey, the Wailers concert was FREE and hosted by 96 Rock at Moore Square Station. Man it was awesome, I danced so much, but unfortunately I wore Stilletos so my feet were aching on Sunday morning. It was a mixed crowd with all races and ages and you could purchase alcohol. Man it was the bomb! The lead singer, I forgot his name, voice was perfect and the band rocked!

No he wasn't there. All the members of the band were black but the lead singer looked as if he may be black and white. That dude can sing and the guitarist was fabolous, he did a few solos!

Unfortunately no, I didn't recognize any of those guys, it was all men. But they did really great!

These guys were around 35-50 years of age.

I do wonder if they have rights to the name???

Thanks, I understand that, I was just addressing another situation for Grogers and comparing it to my own blog as a joke{;o)

You smert.

Hey fellow UNCWite --- How are you this fine June day??

Good morning T-Man and happy Tuesday to you! I laughed so hard reading your post. I have yet to find a black vegetarian male. I am going to subscribe to some dating services and create a profile and list that I am searching for a black vegetarian male to share many beans and veggies with in my profile and see if I get any takers. I will keep you posted..LOL..but until then, pray for me..LOL..Stay cool in this heat! Drink plenty of fluids..

ps..I am reading the book called Home Buying for Dummies and it is scaring me to death! LOL..

LOLOLOL..I have been thinking it was Tuesday all day..LOL. I wish you would have told me that ten comments earlier. That is too funny. Yeah, I am getting my courage up and getting by debts down. I am ready..it is just scary but I am ready. I do believe there are black vegetarian men out there, not sure where. But he does exist. I dont have the woman-power or energy to search for him. The universe will bring him my way and when it does, YOU will be the first to know of his existence..LOL..Have a wonderful day!

I grad in 2000 -- majored in Spanish and Education. What about you?

Hey, T-man!

On the "Butterball" post about the obese toddlers, you mentioned your off-the-charts son's growth. I'm raising one of those, too. She's 14 & already 5'11." To make sure your son is okay, you can check with your pediatrician, who should have been charting his growth. He'll be fine if he's following the same general pattern.

My parents' pediatrician joked that there were 4 growth patterns for kids: small, medium, large and Smith (ie, my maiden name)

Here's the url for info on growth charts at KidsHealth, a website by the Nemours Foundation, which runs one of the leading childrens' hospitals in the country. http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/general/body/growth_charts.html

If I'm reading their boys' weight-for-stature chart right, your son is right about the 50th percentile for his height, although it only goes to 48".

Hope this is helpful

yup! I knew quite a few. i think I was in SGA with a few. What else you get involved with??

haha! I do miss the beach. I never pledged any fraternity -- but I went to an awful lot of Fraternal outings --- it seemed they all wanted me -- I just couldn't really afford to join. But I digress -- what is your real name? Mine's Joe.

Hey, you. Are you behaving???

I have been de-addicting myself of the constant urge to stay chained to my computer...lol. I have got that under control now.

Thanks for the Cary comment today.

T - see the link to insurance costs - http://statehealthplan.state.nc.us/pdf/emp_rate_sheet.pdf

Morning T

I created a blog on the greenies group about CFLs - its kind of long though. Thanks for starting the group!

No problem - I am kind of at a slow point at work and trying to get in my golo fix. Will probably be changing jobs in the next few weeks and then all bets are off... I probably should be trying to ease out of golo... Naw - just have to quit cold-turkey later.

Yes. Go to "edit profile" and look for a box about that. You need to un-check that box. -Angela
