Hey...how did you get to be so smart? Seriously.

haha...I have to laugh because Yukon John is the author of that. I copied it and responded...lol....it is actually more understandable knowing it come from him way down there in Alaska. :)

or is it, up there?

What's good, Yacs?

LOL... sorry.... "I find your ideas intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter" is a internet meme apparently started from a Simpson's episode. I didn't actually know you had a newsletter.

Howdy do, Dan!

Hey... have you been slacking on your emails, or are mine being eaten by the spam monster? Hope you & the family are doing well.

Terri

Yacs, I rarely look at my own profile, ages ago you asked if I was "Patriot" from the early days of GOLO...I am. I had one too many report abuse violations, thus, the new name.

♥ Happy Valentine's Day ♥

blankity blank blank

Hey Dan - I hope you and your family are well.

Hey Dan, I have another commitment. If I was free, I would be at Smorgas' show in a heartbeat. It sounds delightful

agreed about imagine, i have a friend who hates it cuase shes a christian and the lyric says no religion, no heaven, im like give me a break, im a christian too and I LOVE the song, always have since i was a little girl and it came out

What it was about was the troll going totally off topic and endlessly posting irrelevant comments.

So, instead of giving him the attention he craves and responding to/criticizing him, I began posting totally irrelevant comments as well.

Confused the hell out of the poor bastid...

;-)

"When someone is so spineless that they have to create a new profile to say things they would be too skeered to say otherwise, I have a cure for that in my blogs. I delete their posts. But I can say one thing, you guys seem to have done a very good job of ignoring it, which seems to work very well too. And you kept it trapped here, which is giving someone else a break. Good job. Silverdakota Adventures Inc"

"True up! Also funny that you mentioned Elton John; he came up in the original discussion with my wife. The only reason I left him off the list is because he seemed like half of a genius duo. But I guess he was the musical half, so why not?"

Funny, because i had had that conversation with a girl a month or two ago who wanted to go to the elton john concert. I declined.

Yacs yes that is me

Good to see you are still poking around now and then *HUGS* Hope life is treating you well!!!

Are you still doing the act??? If so Please E mail me what times

*on knees begging* *LOL*

Lol, thanks!

I had forgotten that show til you mentioned but I watched it faithfully!

Today will be a good day, I know it will.

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

'Sup Yacs!

Hope you have been doing well!

I am on my once a month day of postings.

YACS!!!!!! how are ya?? Glad to see you out.

You gnawed your way out of the cage again, I see. I'll check email and get back to ya.

Thanks!

Morning Yacs! I don't know your trade, but the economy is OK here. It has been better (like last year) but, it is OK. There are jobs, housing is fairly INexpensive, groceries are kinda high, but trust me you get used to it, and wages are better than there. Check out the Newsminer classifieds or the Anchorage Daily News at:

newsminer.com

adn.com

Hope that helps. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will try my best to give you a good answer.

Not all the time but when he can get away with it. I'm not kidding. He's the reason Heinz hasn't gone under.

Good Friday morning! Just dropping in to say hello and see how things are. Have a good one!

Happy Hump Day!

Hey Dan!

Sorry its taken me forever.... you posted that blog link on my old profile! LOL

I really do need to ask Angela to delete it!

How are you ?

Hey Dan YES

I checked the blog but cant get to the link from work (UGH)

Thanks for sending it to me

How in the world have you been ?

Dan! Thank you sooo much! I just browsed through the blogs I missed today and saw my name. LOL How have you been? Give me a call sometimes and we'll get together for coffee. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

"And, without being one of the faithful you mentioned, I objectively say it's an apt description."

It's an apt description that could accurately be applied to virtually any modern American politician - certainly any of them that manage to keep their jobs.

NC, for example, is a shining beacon of socialism.

My gripe wasn't so much with the word as with the degree to which it, and words like it, are being regurgitated by hordes of folks who probably couldn't explain what it actually means if their lives depended on it.

In essence, the characterization doesn't bother me so much as the herd mentality behind it.

Dan,

One year ago today, you posted on my profile: "Thanks! Btw, I was in the grocery store last night and noticed something interesting among the discounted Easter candy -- chocolate pigs. What the?"

I'll be curious to see if they're available this year - with all of the PORK in the news.

Hope you're doing well!

Terri

Good Evening to ya Dan

my 4 yr daughter told me she was going to marry GOD ! lol isnt it great

bones bought into the Huffpo and DailyKos pieces that Bristol was the baby's mother, that Palin had not been pregnant. I had to produce about 10 different photos of her when she was pregnant, before she woudl admit that she was wrong...told her she should ashamed and should apologize about how wrong and nasty she was about it. She left.

you sure can put in a request. shes a holy terror too,lol

"What happened to Slayer?"

He/I got his/my posting privelages revoked over a picture that was on MY profile.

Thank you, now if I can just not get banned again. LOL

Hi, Dan! Thanks! The only other author I ever really read is Sparks, given I love a good romance. (Yeah, there's still a die-hard romantic in there, somewhere!)

Thank you for the friend request. I thought we had already done that once before, but I could be wrong. :)

Do you watch any of King's movies? Holy cow! Some of them are edge of your seat! We just watched "The Mist" a couple of weeks ago, and that was kind of a mind-bender.

Oh! And your secret is safe with me. My husband watched the movie with me, and he got as teary eyed as I did.. :)

I only caught bits and pieces of Kingdom Hospital. :( I can't remember if I was working when it was on, or in school, but didn't have DVR at that point.

Dan, I didn't realize you are a columnist! You lucky dog, you! I really enjoyed reading about the chocolate chicken and the bunnies yesterday. I read it to one of the girls at work and she was laughing through it as much as I was. We loved it! :) Have an AWESOME weekend!

I apologize, Mentor -- I shouldn't have said "all the atheists." I should have specified "confrontational." - YACS

Please! No apology necessary...you gave me a perfectly good opportunity to grandstand in a blog I would have otherwise placed in the "read only" category! :-)

Hope you enjoy your weekend.

Hi, Dan! :) Hope you and your family are having a great Easter! :) Yes, I really enjoyed that story, and am going to subscribe to BainWaves. :) I love to write, but it takes a far second place to my love of photography. I can't tell you how many novels I've started and never finished, LOL...But I do love to read, and try to get as much in as I can. :)

Well, it is gorgeous outside today, and I may have to grab the camera and go shoot some blooms or bugs, or something. :)

Have a great rest of your weekend! :)

Yacs,

No, the analogy is fine. No one (not even us nasty Libs) want Socialism here. It wouldn't work here, just as it hasn't worked in other countries. Socialism is something conservations whine about when they have nothing else to fuss about, but I don't know anyone who wants it here. :)

Have a good one! Gucci

Hi yacs,

I'm usually courteous unless I'm talking to someone who bashes our current president for no reason. :)

Everyone is b*tChin and moanin' about Obama but they fail to see the big picture. If you bought a run down "fixer upper" home, you're going to have to put some money into it. To me, that is what Obama is doing. He inherited a house that the previous owner didn't keep up. Now we get to pay for that.

Lame tea parties and carp like that aren't going to fix this country. Putting money back into the economy WILL. I work in an industry that has been directly affected by the stimulus package. That combined with interest rate cuts have made my desk overflow with work. Of course, the people whining about spending don't want to hear that. I can remember to the MONTH when my work load lessened. Now I see it turning around.

Anyway, enough of that. I have coffee to drink. Fondly, Gucci

"Don't get me wrong -- I'm not saying everyone in those categories is undeserving of a better life. But in the long run, socialism would remove incentive from those who'd worked hard in the past, but were no longer being rewarded in an equitable manner."

I get what you are saying, but my entire point is that there won't ever be a time in the U.S. where people who are living off of the government, via welfare, food stamps, etc, actually have more than the majority of those who are working. Sure there will always be someone who works for min wage and has less than the welfare queen down the street, but in general, it won't happen.

ok. Sorry. Maybe it's too late for me to be reading and/or interpreting lol.

Thanks! We'll muddle through. Best of luck to you as well!

Your welcome...:)
