What's that thing between her legs? If it's what I think it is...how did it get there? Poor woman.

It's mostly the older people, with deep Scots Irish roots, who say "ya all".

...because it used to be "ye all?"

full of a bunch of religious freaks who think they can pray their way out of trouble. I've got lots of relatives like that.

It is amazing to watch ATHIESTS deal with terminal diseases. First they research the disease exhaustively. Then they get second, third and fourth opinions. Then the beg to be included in experimental protocols. Then they take the special "de-tox diet" route. Then they go to another country for highly controversial treatment. By the time they die, it is too late for the only thing that would have made them comfortable as they slipped away into the next life -- prayer.

Sigh.

Read all my posts on this thread.

I wondered what it was too, until I looked closer and saw her navel. Actually made me think that she might have lost a lot of weight for the belly to be hanging down that low. Frightening thought at the very least.

Brazilian Subdued On Plane At DullesSep 13, 2006 -- The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and the FBI arrested a Brazil man after he tried to open an exit door of a United Airlines 890 jet traveling from Los Angeles to Dulles.

The jet landed at 8:35 p.m. Tuesday at Dulles Airport. MWAA spokeswoman Courtney Prebich said no one was injured. As the plane landed, police and FBI agents subdued Carlos De Oliveira, 43, from Brazil, who is charged with interfering with an aircraft, a felony. He is expected to be arraigned Thursday and is being held in the Loudoun Adult Detention Center without bond.

A passenger, Ken Wolfenberger, of Whittier, California, told The Associated Press that the man wore military fatigues and patches with special forces and jujitsu champion logos. He said the man sat up, wrapped belts around his hands and threw punches into the air, before a flight attendant yelled for help and ordered him to take his hands off the handle of the door.

Wolfenbarger told the Associated Press that before police arrived, the man was held down and punched by other passengers as he grabbed a man's leg.

Wasn't Hugh. He was with me all day. ;-)

We are all going to die. Are you suggesting prayer is a reasonable response to all disease?

Why is it unreasonable to volunteer for research that might help future generations?

Makes it easier to keep an eye on them if they are sitting in front of me though. So, yes, for me it does make a difference.
