I'm right there with him! I never thought I'd ever see an XXX-Rated trial live on t.v. Some of the things that have been said - unreal!!! Of course I think that Jodi is an obsessed, stalking, nympho, but I seriously doubt that she'll get a death sentence. IMO - she deserves what she did to Travis. Self defense??? - sure - and pigs fly too! And kudos to Juan Martinez for being the pitbull that he is. I can't believe that some felt he was too hard on Jodi and other defense witnesses.

What does your hubby think?

I heard on the news that the U.S. Postal Service has decided not to suspend Saturday deliveries for now.

[Karen]

Yes, I saw that as well. It's all wrapped up in Congressional decision-making ...

[Lady's Human]

After the GAO tells an agency what they're doing is illegal, there's not much to support their move.

NOw if Congress would just get off their collective butts and do something.....but there's already a thread about this.

On a lighter note:


You know it's time to clean out the leftovers in the fridge when you can't tell if the container of red sauce is duck sauce or taco sauce. (Looks like meat, smells like cake. It's MEATCAKE!)

Now they want to suspend house-to-house deliveries and have everyone use a cluster box.

[phesina]

That's going to drive it out of business for sure.

^ I'll reply to those in the morning, the postal service wouldn't want me posting my thoughts from a postal computter.

I've been seeing commercials on t.v. lately about the USPS not being funded by anyone's tax dollar, and only thru the sale of postage. It seems to me that they will be crying ever poorer if they try to get house-to-house deliveries eliminated. They're already in a deep hole, so I guess now all we have to do is shovel the dirt in on top of them.

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING???????????

[Lady's Human]

Pom, those adverts you see aren't from the Postal Service, they're from the Union(s) trying to fight decades of misinformation about postal funding and solvency. The truth of the postal problem is that without postal participation in certain insurance and retirement programs for Federal employees, they would have to budget far more than they currently do to pay for those. They raid the Postal Service to make the budgetary loss look more manageable.

As to the cluster box cluster, those are in a bill sponsored by Rep. Darrell Issa, (C) California, which on the whole makes about as much sense as anything coming from Capitol hill. Yeah, CBUs are going to work wonderfully at the end of a street in New Hampshire in January. The Postal Service mismanages delivery just fine all by itself, it doesn't need help from Issa (who has stated that he wants to destroy the Postal Unions) and certain other members of the house and Senate......one of whom's husband has sole rights to dispose of excess postal real estate on commission.......no conflict of interest there, just move along.

When I get home from work I ask him how his girlfriend is, (that is Jodi hehe) he has a few words that he calls her that I can't repeat here. I can't believe how many mock juries find her innocent, do you know how much work it would be to stab someone 27 times

[pomtzu]

he do you know how much work it would be to stab someone 27 times

Correction - 29 times. And don't forget that she slit his throat from ear to ear and nearly beheaded him, and then shot him in the head, too - just to make sure he was really dead, I guess! All this after an all day session of kinky sex - complete with pictures too. Then she got in her car and drove to Utah and had an "escapade" with another guy. Yup - she's a real sweetheart, for sure.

I didn't know all that, my hubby said yep when I asked him if he knew.

I don't know about anybody else, but I am extremely happy for the Alexander Family and with the verdict!

There's a comic strip called "Mutts" by Patrick O'Donnell. I love it but at the same time it makes me very sad. The past few days have been "Shelter Stories". The characters talk about being adopted. There was one a few days ago about waking up, drinking coffee and then going to the shelter and bringing home a kitty - A perfect day. I did that with Cassie... I actually met her on a Saturday and then went back the next day, had my screening interview and brought her home. The first few days were scary because she was frightened and hiding. But she came out and made herself at home . But I'm torn about this comic because it touches my heart. I want to bring ALL the kitties home. Perfect day after day after day... But I can't
