Mason... It was hard enough for most of us to see the images of the towers falling and the aftermath on t.v. day after day and come to grips with it....I can't even imagine what it must have been like for you to actually be there with all the rubble and know there were so many people missing. I applaud you for helping with the debris. Thanks for the input! Varoom

In reading and replying to Texas Wahine's post on places to visit on Oahu got me thinking about places I had visited that had had an impact on me. I had agreed with her that the Arizona Memorial was one of my fav's on Oahu. That got me thinking about other places that had affected me, either positively or negatively. I went on a month-long tour of Europe be

2. Visit the Arizona Memorial. I agree with this one! I saw this when I was a junior in college. It was very humbling. What really irked me though...and this is by no means a racist statement, but I was very annoyed with the large number of Japanese tourist groups which were standing in these long lines, being very noisy and rude. Everyone else was quiet, reflective, etc. while waiting to take the ferry across to the actual site.

This post really hit home with me. My Dad died just over a year ago at 65. He was always very quiet, not a typical Dad but was always good to me and I knew he loved me. My brother, on the other hand, was always treated differently. My Dad also was an alcoholic, quit drinking when he was 40 and secretly started again a few years before he died. He never did the "Dad" things with my brother, nor did have much patience for him. My brother is truly w

Little Whip.... Thanks for the insight on some of the reasons people were so angry about this character. As I said, I hadn't gone back and read past posts and was really only aware of the current saga of the love triangle. If I had, I would have been just as angry, especially about the month-old baby on death's door. Things like this just make it harder for those people that really do have life and death situations to be taken seriously....

Being fairly new to JoeUser, I haven't taken the time to go back and read past articles and responses unless the particular blogger peaks my interest. I am having a hard time understanding the responses being given to this character who seems to be angering everyone lately because of the lies and deceptions she has unleased. I understand the anger people have over i

I'm sure everyone has their favorite season of the year and for me.....it is Autumn. I have lived in many different places over the last 20 years and have had the opportunity to witness different climates but will always appreciate and come back to those areas that have the four seasons. In the last few weeks, as summer is winding down and the mornings and evenings

Hmmmm...such innocent words...."hoe"down (used to be a term used for a good ole' country gatherin' ) could it now be what a cop says when he sees a hoe doin' her john....:10/4, hoe down on Wanker street" The weird things you find funny when you got up too early and are too lazy to go buy more coffee ....

These were hilarous! Especially # 21 - Pop goes the hamster and other fun microwave games...reminds me of a time years ago when my little brother put his dead goldfish in the microwave to see if it would explode - amazing...it DID!

Sounds great so far....really made me stop and think about that morning...I was at work at helping a customer who was more concerned about her issues than knowing what was going on. You are really a great writer.

Read my very first article, Varoom...for a description of my previous marriage which was abusive..... So.....I read your very first article, and I still contend that if your new husband is beating, biting, cutting and choking you, that you can call it what you want, to me that is still abuse, whether yo

I don't know if this blog was a joke or not, but I don't understand the responses of the people who have responded so far....how can anyone make light of this blog? This sounds like emotional and physical abuse and made me sick to even read it. It starts out with getting upset over wanting dishes put one way or the other and physical abuse being administered....where will it escalate to when something more serious happens? I think you need t

Just have to wonder if Bush would have made this decision if it wasn't an election year because you are right, it would be a great boost to the Iraqi people to show that the U.S. stands behind it's word to make Iraq a place for the people again. '

The stress involved in not knowing can be more harmful than the disease itself. You are probably right Manopeace.

Yes, it's a very big story. I think they're capturing the world's attention. Guess it even took Bush by attention as I just heard a news flash during the Olympic coverage that there had been plans for George to visit a game in Greece of the Iraqi team. Their official response was for him NOT to use the
