about stand_up

"We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." George Orwell

I love UNC. I love the quad in the spring and the arboretum in the fall. I love the Pit on a sunny day and Graham Memorial Lounge on a rainy one. I love Roy all the time. But what makes UNC truly special is not our beautiful campus, our distinguished reputation or even our basketball team. It's us - the student body - who make UNC what it is.

- Eve Carson 

I'm a proud Conservative, the daughter of a retired (and deceased) Lt. Colonel of the USMC, and a student. I support our President, our troops, and the current conflicts in which our country is engaged.  I make no apologies for who I am and the things in which I believe.  We may disagree, but I'll respect your opinions and I hope that you do the same for me.

Illegal immigration is driving this country into the ground as is the sense of entitlement that some people (of all races) have.

I think everyone, at their core, is just a bit prejudiced. I also think that people sometimes fail to recognize the difference between prejudice and racism.  

I think affirmative action is wrong and would prefer that people enter into college based on merit and not race. Yes, I also recognize the fact that affirmative action affects any minority, e.g. women and those from poor(er) counties.  I think reformation of the school system at the primary and secondary levels would remedy the "need" for affirmative action.  I recognize that this is never going to happen.

Race is a social construct.  There are more genetic differences between two people of the same race than there are between two people of different races. Outside of it all, we all bleed the same.  I say, treat others as you would like to be treated.  That said, as soon as they disrespect you, then it's time for them to go.

If I think you're looking for a fight, I'm not going to engage you.  I appreciate civil internet discourse, however.  

I'm a Tarheel born.  I'm a Tarheel bred; and, when I die, I'll be a Tarheel dead! 

I'm going to see Jeff Duhnam this May.  Yes, he is amazing!  Yes, I am excited!

Thank God for that! LOL! It's beautiful out. Hope you're having a good day. {{hugs}] Beth

" Just wait, she's gonna get that big and think she's a lap dog! haha =) "

LOL

Oh yeh.

I dont allow her on the couch BUT she sureeeeeeeee loves snugglin in bed with ya!

She sleeps in her crate thou :)

"Dogs are just so darn cute and I can't wait until I get my own!"

Indeed........ Jayda is like my shadow .... she is the BEST to snuggle with too!

Hey Girly!

Whatcha been up to? I never got the chance to look at the puppy..... WHEN you do get one, make SURE you blog a pic and introduce em to us!

Hope all is going GREAT your way! Have a great day!!

Hi Stand_up! Hope you're doing well and had a good Monday! Well, we got Monday down, thank goodness! Have a great week. :-) Beth

I totally understand! The only reason I am setting it up on the honor system is I don't have time to set up 'in person' weigh ins, and I live over an hour away! I can't afford to drive to Raleigh each week to coordinate this! If a more local person wants to take over, thats cool with me!

I guess I should talk to Angela about that, b/c I am in Williamston! (an hour and a half away!) and while I am not participating as a biggest loser in this round (I am a diet pill and have been losing like 7lbs a week, thats really not fair, is it?) I think we will go honor system, maybe post a (headless)before and after pic or something? I totally understand if you want to sit out this time, don't think I am trying to harass you into playing :o) But you are welcome to, regardless of location! Thanks!

Biggest Loser Challenge will be starting this Thursday! Open to the first 10 people who reply to me that they are IN! It will be a 4 week challenge to drop some pounds and inches! Keep a lookout for my blog I will post tomorrow AM about the details!

Hey, Stand_up, just wanted to wish you luck on exams. Fun week, I know.

LOL you like that!!

I bout died laughing when I seen it!

Hope all is great your way :)
