Yup.

I had not seen him/her trolling and mistook him/her for just a newbie but I decided to lurk and see... and I saw.
3:57 am
nmyb

but he is only 9 yrs old, right? hasn't learned netiquette yet I assume
3:57 am
sprite

well, that is what she claims, and it might be true. But which 9 yo can be online practically all day?
3:58 am
nmyb

love the grid..lots of words but they are real which is nice sometimes
3:58 am
diem

9 going on 30 going by yesterday
3:58 am
MonkeyGames

Might actually be 9. Fair enough. BUt what I have heard is that netiquette has been repeatedly explained and it didn't help. That spells troll at any age.
3:59 am
sprite

and we have had a couple of very young players that were just young, but no trolls and no pain in the butt. This one keeps going and then starts whining when all are fed up with it. We have tried to be nice, believe me.

we didn't get a white Xmas, but at least it was freezing. Back to cloudy and a little above zero temp now, but they expect more freezing.
4:04 am

no you didn't tell, MonkeyG! That sounds like a lot of fun for him!

4:30 am
mab

good morning everybody. sprite, congratulations on your new washing machine - such a wonderful thing (i go to the laundrette -boo).
4:30 am
sprite

mine are 12 and 11 next month. Also sweet most of the time. Eldest is a son and eats all day through. Daughter is starting to eat more now, and to grow of course.
4:31 am
sprite

hi mab, we don't have laundrettes here. Some of the really big cities have a few, but that is all.
4:31 am
herinfernallady

Tim Tams are Aussie biscuits. Chocolate with choc stuff in it.
4:31 am
herinfernallady

NMYB what dessert?
4:32 am
nmyb

hey almost the same but both are boys and it's the eldest that likes to eat. thankfully he is tall so can pack it away somewhere
4:32 am
sprite

the dessert you made from the tim tams, lady!
4:33 am
sprite

while they grow, they seem to burn it up faster than they can eat it, lol. My son is a muscled na4 atm, no fat anywhere.
4:33 am
mab

I think here tim tams are litte matzah crackers...
4:34 am
herinfernallady

no
4:34 am
nmyb

the Japanese dessert is rice flour-based balls boiled till fluffy, rinsed in cold water then add sweet red bean paste, canned fruit & some powder made from nuts
4:34 am
herinfernallady

mmm Yummy
4:35 am
sprite

oh that sounds lovely, nmyb
4:35 am
herinfernallady

No Mab they are not crackers
4:35 am
mab

I suppose I am lucky to have laundrettes nearby, even though most apartment buildings have laundry rooms, and i rather don't like going out to do laundry.
4:35 am
nmyb

beats junk food and packaged cakes/cookies which we've eaten too much of over the holidays
4:36 am
herinfernallady

We don't eat a lot of junk in this house
4:37 am

mab, I can imagine that. Wouldn't like going out to do my laundry either! The idea of having a laundry room in an apartment building is strange to the netherlands, I learned about that through movies, lol.

Hi herin, sprite, nmyb. Why on earth isn't a squirrel's home, a drey, allowed in the grid? Doesn't make sense!
4:45 am

4:51 am

I had my thumb nearly amputated by a grey squirrel that got tame so I was feeding it with peanuts in the garden. For weeks afterwards I was praying I didn't develop rabies!

{{{HUGS}}} Sally - there's so many advances in this area of medicine, which can be comforting. My father suffered from the same, but back in the '60s when so much was still in experimental stages.

Yes, very pretty and shortly to come into lay I think. Will lay dark brown eggs (or else!).
5:44 am

I think I could if my kids were hungry.

To be honest, I could eat them, but think I personally would have trouble killing them. Wouldn't want to hurt them.

wow the biggies are weird words today
5:47 am

I have 16 hens and 2 roosters. My areaconnas lay green,blue and pink <easter>eggs. One hen lays white and the rest lay brown. I can't kill them I have a friend that does that for me.

5:56 am
Sally-catlover

It's funny, I've read somewhere that in the UK we prefer brown eggs because we think they are "healthier", but in the USA they prefer white eggs because they think they are "cleaner". Strange.
5:57 am
herinfernallady

I like eggs that are free range. From the organic store
5:57 am
jjks

yet all the same inside (lol)
5:57 am
Sally-catlover

Free range definitely tastes better - and with your own, you know they are really really fresh.
5:57 am
chickieo8

If you study about them you find out they are all the same taste and health wise.
5:58 am
Eva

Good morning all. Re eggs in the US, it depends on the region. In Vermont brown eggs are the favorite. The explanation I have heard, but don't know re accuracy, is that brown eggs are likely to be local and thus fresher.
5:58 am
chickieo8

GM Eva
5:58 am

We have a neighbor whose hens lay very deep, dark chocolate coloured eggs which are just gorgeous!

Why should brown eggs be local only in Vermont, Eva?

I will proubly have a pouched egg on toast.
6:01 am
herinfernallady

I like free range the eggs are fresh and yellow. The cheap sh>> ones are yuk and you wonder if that is how they taste then how are the chickens treated
6:01 am
Eva

There are areas of the country more interested in local agriculture, more averse to buying stuff from mega-agricultural concerns than others. Buying and eating local is a pretty big thing here in Vermont
6:01 am
mab

personally, i prefer brown, but i can't say why - i think they are more esthetically pleasing maybe
6:01 am

funny...here brown eggs cost more... another misconception...that they are somehow more natural or healthier

hi herin...
6:02 am
herinfernallady

My favourite is ''Now with OMEGA 3'' um it already contains it
6:02 am

It does seem to be true around here that the brown eggs are always local, while the white eggs can have been shipped from anywhere, or local.
6:03 am
herinfernallady

THe other is Vegeggs. no animal products.Considering its um illegal to feed animal products to chickens
6:03 am
Eva

Our local guy sometimes brings these light green eggs into the store, but they don't sell so well....they look a bit alien.

no issue for me really... cuz i hate eggs - LOL... only use them in baking

now I am the opposite... if I saw green eggs, blue eggs, polka dot eggs...I would HAVE to buy them, just to see what they were like
6:05 am

I tried the green ones and couldn't tell any difference. They were a bit smaller and pointier.

When I was with my mum and dad they had farm eggs. I have never touched $2 eggs since
6:05 am

how come lady?
6:06 am

The battery farming thing is a big issue in the UK. If you saw the conditions they were kept in, you would not buy the eggs!

thanks for the laugh this morning... this one is a little too big for me today though considering all I have to do, so I will be off... but it is nice to know we in babble are talking about FOOD as usual - LOL
6:06 am
herinfernallady

You crack a battery egg its sloppy yellow and gross. Farm egg yellow yellow and so yummy
6:06 am
herinfernallady

Yes indeed Kje
6:06 am

a lot of la words today
6:07 am
Eva

Same here. Ever since I saw a film of how chickens for places like Perdu are raised in the US I have stopped buying commercial poutry.
6:07 am
kje

yay eva - I'm with you!
6:07 am
Sally-catlover

One of the reasons I wanted my own chickens, Eva. I so agree.
6:08 am
kje

granted, I can afford the higher prices that ethically raised local farming produces... that is a dilemma for some
6:08 am
chickieo8

your right Sally.My chickens are pampered! I even go to the store and buy them priced reduced veggies!
6:09 am
redturtlehead

morning!
6:09 am
herinfernallady

Morning red
6:09 am
chickieo8

hiya Red :)
6:09 am

hi red...and bye red.. I will poof
6:10 am
chickieo8

cu kje
6:10 am
Eva

a friend and I were talking about what would be the last discretionary items we would cut from our budgets, if things keep going as they are, and we are lucky that there's a lot we could let go of with little difficulty, but being able to buy organic produce and poultry would be a biggy for me.
6:10 am
redturtlehead

how is everyone?
6:10 am
jjks

bye kje
6:10 am
herinfernallady

Good
6:10 am
Eva

good red
6:10 am
herinfernallady

I will never let go of my organic foods
6:10 am
chickieo8

I agree Eva!
6:11 am
Sally-catlover

Eva, we are very lucky here that we are near Ludlow which is renowned for local produce and organic shops. It's a foodie place!
6:11 am
Sally-catlover

And we are lucky as you say that we can afford it.
6:11 am
Eva

then there's the whole issue of only buying what can be raised locally, and in Vermont that would mean doing without most fresh veggies and fruits for about 8 months out of the year.
6:11 am
chickieo8

I bet that is awsum Sally :)
6:12 am
Sally-catlover

It's also much nicer to go into a small shop and get friendly with the owner than into a supermarket.
6:12 am
Eva

Although I suppose if we really decided, as a nation or a locality, to do away with long chain distribution, the money could be put into local greenhouses, hydroponic plants, etc
6:12 am
herinfernallady

Well if we all went with the seasons and farmed with the seasons there wouldn't be a problem. It seems most of society would like say Leek which is a 3 month vegie 12 months of the year
6:13 am
jjks

i love it when we have farmers market season here
6:13 am
redturtlehead

we have publix, a very friendly supermarket, with organic sections...and a lovely bakery.
6:13 am
jjks

i love locally grown fruits, nuts, veggies, etc.
6:13 am
Sally-catlover

We are surrounded by Welsh lamb, Hereford beef, orchards, local farms. The butchers have game hanging outside in season, and venison from the local forest.
6:13 am
chickieo8

me too jjks
6:13 am
herinfernallady

We have Macro foods and I shop locally at COS too
6:14 am

but not a lot of local meat....unless you count mickey muse and alligator!
6:14 am

Macro whole foods even
6:14 am
Sally-catlover

Have you eaten alligator? What is it like?
6:14 am

6:17 am
Eva

red-I couldn't resist. This is a poem I wrote after a shopping expedition, years ago, while visiting my in-laws who lived in Century Village (a retirement community for those who don't know)

Publix - West Palm Beach


It pays to move slowly in the Publix Market
Not a place, these aisles, for last minute dashes
Careless movements
Heedless gain against the tide

Clouded eyes peer at lists
As carts wander slowly, stopping here, then there
Past purpled cabbages, pimpled chickens, frosted cases
Choosing lovingly, one ripe banana.
Just enough for today.

It pays to move slowly in the Publix Market
Where getting it done
Getting it over with
Moving on
is no longer the point.
If it ever was.
In this underwater ballet of hunting and gathering,
patience and age

That's great Eva - almost surreal. hello all

Sad, Eva - esp the one banana.

Eva, that is hysterical...lucky me, I live in Clermont, so we have a younger than average population!!! but so true.

HI Lynxx

that's great eva!
6:21 am

I guess I dont find it sad, because I see it every day, and the one banana, well, they will come back for the other one the next day.
6:21 am

hi Lynxxx
6:21 am
bichon

Eva, my parents used to live in Century Village in Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach
6:21 am
Eva

I found that I had to learn to move much more slowly. And the first times I shopped there I didn't understand why I came home with so many bags = but the baggers there are trained, that since they are dealing with so many rather frail people, they have to make the bags very light.
6:21 am
Eva

Ah-the upscale version bichon(-:
6:22 am
redturtlehead

I am glad not to be working in The Villages anymore, the penultimate of upscale golf carts.
6:22 am
Eva

I also didn't find it sad, because shopping becomes a very social activity, a reason to get out of the house, and peopl go every day, as the do in more traditional cultures.
6:22 am
herinfernallady

HI Bichion
6:22 am
bichon

It wasn't that upscale. They found they outgrew cCentury Village and moved to a more upscale one in Boynton
6:22 am
chiley

Hey...I live in the W.P.B. area....work very close to Century Village....
6:22 am

Hi Herin

i'm taking a break - have a lovely day everyone - see you later!
6:23 am
BabbleRabble

keeping the bags light does little good if all are being carried by one.
6:23 am
bichon

My mother never liked the shopping in Florida. They didn't have the same kind of "bargains" they did in the NorthEast. And the matzah prices were out of sight
6:24 am
Eva

The one in West Palm could make a fascinating sociological study-because the ethnic make-up has changed so much over it's lifetime, mirroring different immigration patterns, etc.
6:24 am
Eva

Don't forget Winn-Dixie red
6:24 am
lynxxx

hi Chick & BabRab
6:24 am
redturtlehead

Babble, one o fthe free services at Publix, is the carrying of your bags and putting them in the car, No tipping allowed.
6:24 am
chickieo8

i agree bichon!
6:24 am
redturtlehead

But Winn Dixie is sort of "Low Class" LOL.
6:24 am
chiley

Ah Eva, but the driving remains the same
6:25 am
Eva

babble-they get help putting them in the car and then make many trips carrying them into the house.
6:25 am
bichon

Yes, exactly how my mothe felt
6:25 am
chickieo8

Winn Dixie wasn't to bad you just had to really look at what you were buying.
6:25 am
bichon

One of the reasons my parents left Century Village is they bought a place on the second floor with their own personal elevator. Pretty fancy
6:26 am
Eva

The driving, in this case, was about two blocks. Two rather hair raising blocks when riding with my 94 year old father-in-law.
6:26 am
BabbleRabble

one of the free services here bagging the groceries yourself ... can tip if you like
6:26 am
chickieo8

I bet it was Eva :)
6:27 am
lynxxx

! I can imagine Eva
6:27 am
bichon

The driving in Florida is hair-raising
6:27 am
redturtlehead

oh babble these wizened souls cant bag....they are not of sturdy stock.
6:28 am
BabbleRabble

I give good tips
6:28 am
Eva

It was wonderful leaving frozen New England every winter to go and visit them, but that part of Florida is one huge miracle mile, and I think I'd have to have a lobotomy to live there.
6:28 am
chickieo8

We have a chain here called Sav-A-Lot and you bag your own which cuts the cost of the groceries!
6:28 am
redturtlehead

i looove it, but not wpb...never been there.
6:29 am
bichon

Exactly Eva. Me got my mother to leave Florida for an Assisted Living near us in CT. Then we cleared out her place and sold it.
6:29 am
chiley

I really like this area. It just depends on what you get accustomed to I guess
6:29 am
redturtlehead

In Oregon I used to belong to a grocery co-op where we bagged our own, it was nice. but not here in Fl. people are old and frail, except inClermont where we are triatheletes. I Love Fl.
6:29 am
Eva

very little but one chain store or fast food store after another, all connected by 8 lane roads, with everyone driving huge cars with their windows rolled up
6:30 am
chickieo8

I never liked Fla..
6:30 am
redturtlehead

Ahhh. Eva, Clermont is in the middle of the naturla bowls and Orange groves, we actually have hills.
6:30 am
Eva

sorry chiley-didn't mean to diss your home town.
6:31 am
redturtlehead

Parts of Orlando sure are hideous, however, and now I see exactly why Disney picks people up at the airport. they have no idea...
6:31 am
Eva

But this time of year the weather down there is very, very alluring.
6:31 am
chiley

No problem. I'm a native of Asheville NC and cannot for the life of me figure out why people like that area so much. I just hate visiting there.
6:32 am
chickieo8

My sister lives in Ocala and loves it because they have a change of seasons unlike the cost.
6:32 am
redturtlehead

I love it. SO much I am trying to sell out of NC. And I would agree with you Chiley, Asheville is pretty but I feel its just a bunch of NY transplants pretending to be artsy.
6:32 am

I was born & reared there. Didn't leave until I was married with children. I enjoy the cultural events in Fl. There just doesn't seem to be anythng to do there.
6:35 am

Eva! Move to Chapel Hill. I have a great Home for sale there, perfect for a couple, lots of cool University events, nice wooded area....warmish.
6:35 am
Eva

interesting. very different from how it gets written up. Although I would guess that like many place, once everyone starts heading there, what was attractive changes completely.
6:35 am
chiley

In the winter everything is brown and dead. The mountains make me feel closed in. I've gotten used to green grass and flowers year round.
6:35 am

I'll stay in Mich. even though we have snow up yo our A#@# !
6:35 am

we don't really want to move. Just want someplace warm and interesting to be for a few months in the winter and mud season

11:29 am
redturtlehead

Met, someone gave you a gift card and labeled the amt on it?
11:29 am
MetFan

But I got SUCH BARGAINS!!!!
11:29 am
lil*monkey

metfan, you should ask them to check the receipt
11:29 am
pugmama763

after the holidays everythings on clearance
11:29 am
dcseain

oh very rude, met. maybe they mixed up the sleeves? oh good, point, lil!
11:29 am
redturtlehead

I always let gift card recipients discover how much is on there when they go.
11:30 am
hurshy

i thought the gift cards had the numbers preprinted on there
11:30 am
MetFan

Yes, red, it was written by the person that it was worth $75, but it was only $50 !!!
11:30 am
lil*monkey

i would let them know, met
11:30 am
KristineNas

OK I GIVE UP May I please have a clue for the Ac 8 ??
11:30 am
pugmama763

false advertising
11:30 am
lil*monkey

the store could have screwed that up
11:30 am
dcseain

most don't hurshy, you tel them how much to put on them, and tehy activate them at the store at time of purchase.
11:30 am
hurshy

sounds like an ingenious scam for a store...
11:30 am
MetFan

I'll do that, Monkey - VERY rude.
11:30 am
redturtlehead

Nope Hursh, you can get one at wal mart and put whatever you want on it.
11:31 am
pam

hi, all
11:31 am
hurshy

well, the store wouldn't, but the employee
11:31 am

hi, kristine
11:31 am
lil*monkey

seain, thanks for putting up our pic! It's so cute!
11:31 am
hurshy

you regularly do that for all the gift cards and pocket the extra, and most people will just figure their friend messed it up...
11:31 am
MetFan

Hi Pam
11:31 am
redturtlehead

A lot of people use it again until its gone, I got my sister 100.00 for Wal Mart. Sadly she shops a lot there.
11:32 am
pam

Hi, met!
11:32 am
dcseain

i just had to share :)
11:32 am
MetFan

Why sadly, Red?
11:32 am
hurshy

and even if the occasional person complains they probably don't keep track of who sold the gift cards...
11:32 am
KristineNas

They don't give cash back on gift cards
11:32 am
JBV

hi again - lots of people here to greet - hello to all!
11:32 am
lil*monkey

all the pix came out great, they're on my profile on Facebook
11:32 am
hurshy

if they do you would have to stop after one catch so it could just look like a mistake.
11:32 am
redturtlehead

For that reason Yes Kristine.
11:32 am

Hiya JBV
11:32 am

11:33 am
jacq

hey JBV
11:33 am
hurshy

this is a brilliant nefarious plot
11:33 am
JBV

just reading about your gift card, MetFan - that sounds like a possible scam at time of purchase - very disturbing because how would we know if we are buying the card
11:33 am
KristineNas

It is quite a pain if you dont use the whole thing at once , I went to 4 different stores and had to figure out myself how much was on the card. Just very time consuming !
11:33 am
lil*monkey

it's worth it to check on it, Met... you might get another $25 out of it!!!!
11:33 am
redturtlehead

It is most likely that the giver either mixed up cards, or switched them by accident, or simply forgot.
11:34 am
KristineNas

May I please have a clue for the Ac 8 ?
11:34 am
MetFan

Well, you tell them how much to put on the card at time of purchase, but if you're not watching (like I do), they could put ANYTHING on it, and you wouldn't know unless you go over your receipt. I always make sure I get what I pay for when I buy gift cards.
11:35 am
redturtlehead

I have not had any problems giving them from Target and Walmart, but maybe the recipients were just too polite.
11:35 am
BabbleRabble

ac 8 -- add a drum or dinner: ***l and when not alone we are w*** someone
11:35 am
KristineNas

The Visa gift cards I received were pre-printed , but Walmart ones were not !
11:35 am
MetFan

I agree, Red - she probably mixed them up, and gave someone else my card in error.
11:35 am
pam

I tend to look carefully, too,met....
11:35 am
KristineNas

with the value***
11:35 am
JBV

i had a frustrating shopping experience yesterday - had to return a beautiful sweater (size was wrong) and found out my sister spent $100 on it - that's the good part -
11:36 am
BabbleRabble

caveat emptor
11:36 am
dcseain

ah, ty, babrab, i had not tried that ending.
11:36 am
pam

I had a debacle of a time with Sears trying to e-gift my nephew. Target was a dream!
11:36 am
JBV

but the store was practically out of any merchandise in my style or color, so i ended up getting a cashmere turtleneck on sale for $69 and ended up with about $23 left on the card
11:36 am
KristineNas

11:37 am
pugmama763

yahooo Kris !!!
11:37 am
hurshy

but if the individual employee was scamming, they might be able print the amount you paid on the receipt even though they did not give it to you
11:37 am
dcseain

congrats, kristine!!!
11:37 am
redturtlehead

JBV that sounds actually like you got a good deal.
11:37 am
JBV

the turtleneck is very nice, but now that $23 dollars will result in my having to go back and of course spend a lot more next time
11:37 am
KristineNas

ty ty time to eat I'M STARVING
11:37 am
pam

that can be frustrating, jbv! Maybe they'll get someting in next season that you like and you'll have found money to spend on it...
11:37 am
hurshy

of course i spose then they have to give it to you though
11:37 am
dcseain

A hungry African lion came across two men. One was sitting under a tree and reading a book; the other was typing away on his typewriter. The lion pounced on the man reading the book and devoured him. Even the king of the jungle knows that readers digest and writers cramp.

11:41 am
pam

it will be fun to watch nonetheless, red...
11:42 am
JBV

I leave the shopping cart at the head of each aisle, so I can run (walk fast) up and down, rather than inching along with the cart
11:42 am
redturtlehead

pam you could be happy about the outcome either way?
11:42 am
pugmama763

3 phone batteries , 4 bottles of vitamins, a "Tweeze" (but I did get a toy too)
11:42 am
pam

don't know, red... possibly, I prefer Baltimore
11:42 am
pam

that is a good idea, jbv.
11:43 am
phaeton

JBV...so you're the one leaving their cart in the middle blocking the aisle!
11:43 am
MetFan

I did that, too, but you shoulda gotten something frivolous along with the practical. I did, got an iPod charger so if I run out of juice at ork I can charge up in a wall socket.
11:43 am
JBV

i try anything to get out of the store faster, pam -
11:43 am

There is a Chess Tournament taking place at a hotel. All the players are in the hotel lobby bragging and arguing that they are the best. After enduring it for some time, the hotel manager orders them all to leave. When asked why, his response is.... (get ready to groan)... I hate Chess Nuts Boasting in an Open Foyer!
11:44 am

i have a friend who i just found out had a thing happen to her two years ago where she went into anaphylactic shock and got ambulanced to the ER, and it was like, two weeks before she was starting a job and she didn't have insurance yet, so she wound up with these huge bills. two weeks later, no problem, but that day, and she's in debt for years. does this not seem bizarre?

I really don't understand how or why some people see Obama as some sort of messiah. The dude hasn't even so much as flicked a light switch in the White House. As with all elected officials, he has to prove himself. Until then, I expect the economy to get a little worse, job losses to increase and taxes to increase. Reality is going to keep thudding along for quite some time yet.

when Meg was dehydrated in hopital they made her constantly sip weak ribena with dioralyte mixed in even if she wasn't keeping it down
2:51 pm

pedialyte, sprite, koolaide... in small sips... can try an OTC drug called emetrol which comes in cherry flavor and sometimes works
2:51 pm
nrkii

feather, I think you have to keep giving him the jello and popsicles even though he might throw them up tho
2:51 pm
gramma

dilute the jello and give it liquid or coke syrup
2:51 pm
featherbee

i got to doing a half teaspoon of pedialyte every 5 minutes. he did that three times, then laid down on the couch, then threw it up after about 15-20 minutes

otherwise, if he really is not keeping ANYTHING down, i would call his doc and get a suppositry of an antiemetic so you don't end up in the ED with dehydration

he went a huge time yesterday without throwing up. he was sick all friday night, then went from 12noon to 6am this morning keeping stuff down.

Can you put the pedialyte in the freezer? Not as pops but as ice cubes. He can suck them slowly.

We are right next to the town of Shuafat, Chizma is just over the hill below my house and there is another village at the top of Neve Yaakov where the road turns.

hard to get to peace when factions have been at it for decades . . . or centuries even
3:45 pm
Dorens

no, sadly that is all true, but I still can hope
3:45 pm
mkg

if there were arab leaders who really wanted peace and their own nation, they would have succeeded. the israelis dont want to be in charge of these people. they truly dont.
3:45 pm
Dorens

cr6 is what ii was cluing
3:46 pm
Michnick

You're right Judi. The problem is whether both sides actually want a peaceful resolution.
3:46 pm

You're right Judi. The problem is whether both sides actually want a peaceful resolution.
3:46 pm

well mich, i hope that your location will mean safety for you.
3:46 pm
pam

exactly, mich, and unfortunately, both sides seem wedded to the status quo. Dayenu.
3:46 pm
Judi

Agreed, Michnick. Prayers for Israel, its troops and innocents on both sides.
3:47 pm
Michnick

You said it. Pam and Book Dr. I am most depressed by the hopelessness of it.
3:48 pm
mkg

i remember in 1974 when i was in israel that all was very peaceful and we drove everywhere and went everywhere that now i would be killed in like hevron(hebron) and schem(nablus)........and the arabs were so happy and said how things were so much better under israel than they had been under jordan! they were richer, they paid no taxes, they got better medical care and the electricity worked and the tourists bought lots of stuff and they were doing great. then terror struck. arafat came back and the big cheese and all was lost.
3:48 pm
bichon

If only the Arabs loved their own children as much as they hate Israel, there would be a solution
3:48 pm
pam

I will NEVER understand why violence is a first choice, why peace isn't the imperative...
3:48 pm
mkg

amen bichon. i remember that saying well.
3:48 pm
pam

there are plenty of arabs who want peace. there is no unity, no "place" for peace in much of their leadership, but arab individuals want peace
3:49 pm
mkg

when the arab mothers love their children more than they hate israel, there will be peace indeed.
3:49 pm
mkg

but do the arab mothers have a say? who is really ruling these minds? not the mothers! i am told UNRWA is terrible and allows leaders to keep all the money from the u.n. and the EU and that is an issue as well.
3:50 pm
Michnick

I cannot imagine raising children on hate and blood. Even with what is going on now I keep telling my children that we cannot be happy when we hear that the Palestinians have been killed, and then they see on the news that they are cheering in the Muslim world that one of our soldiers is killed!
3:50 pm
Judi

Unfortunately, most Arab mothers aren't allowed much say in anything.
3:51 pm
Michnick

It isn't just the Arab mothers, it is anyone with a moderate outlook. They are almost as quick to kill their own if they disagree.
3:51 pm
pam

I see Israelis and American Jews cheering, too. It's a mentality I have long longed to be changed
3:51 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

people cheer at all sorts of sick things. like football games (joke!)
3:51 pm
bichon

I think most American Jews, like myself, very sad that innocent Arab children and their families are dying
3:52 pm
Michnick

That sickens me, it is so against our belief system. We were told not to cheer when the Egyptians chasing after us after leaving Egypt were drowned after the sea split. It's in the Torah (Bible)
3:53 pm
Michnick

I meant that Jews could cheer about Arab deaths. Of course we should be sad, but that doesn't mean we were left with a choice.
3:53 pm
pam

for years and years I have been called an anti-semitic jew because I support peace above all, mich. I read like-minded people writing in the Jerusalem Post, but here, many think I am anti-Israel. It is a long road to peace
3:54 pm
Michnick

It's hard to find that golden line, Pam. I am pro-Israel and pro-humanity. Every arab killed is a loss of human life and saddens me, but like any nation I feel we must defend ourselves. Peace at any cost is a death sentence to Jews and Israel.
3:54 pm
mkg

no one wants innocent children to die. no one. even israel does all it can so that doesnt happen. thus they dont carpet bomb like the u.s. but hamas on purpose plants itself in the midsst of citizens so that they can scream that innocent people died. they sometimes send these missles to israel from hospitals! and schools!
3:55 pm
mkg

pam, what upsets me is when i hear people say that israel is to blame for it all, that they caused it. that is not true. and that is when i am shocked. it is like saying the u.s. deserved 9-11.
3:55 pm
pam

There is no way to peace, peace is the way. It's time to talk. To really talk. To cede what must be ceded, by all parties. Hamas bombs, israeli bombs--they are all bombs.
3:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

mkg, actually, i once found myself in a conversation with a guy who did want children to die. he was defending the bulldozing of homes even in families were in them (totally nuts, IMO)
3:56 pm
Michnick

My cousins live in Sderot but sent their 14 year old son to Jerusalem to learn in Yeshiva. What happened? A terrorist infiltrated his Yeshiva when preparing for a big party and shot in cold blood over a dozen 14 and 15 year old boys. I cannot say they care about our children.
3:56 pm
mkg

i do not believe the arab world teaches tolerance. they dont tolerate each sect, nor do they allow churches or synagogues or any other religious.
3:57 pm
Madi95

i think we shouldn't mess with the Israelis. Most are Jews, and they're the chosen ones. let's be peaceful so WE don't die... but, don't listen to my two cents.
3:57 pm
Madi95

i just don't want to be in a situation of war
3:57 pm
Michnick

Pam, the problem is that we talk, we come to an "agreement" but ultimately they really do want us all dead. How many died on 9/11/01?
3:58 pm
pam

Chosen? to do what? I don't mean to be sarcastic, but Israelis are world citizens, and should be held to the same standards. There is a war, a ground war and an air war. I
3:58 pm
Michnick

No one ever wants to be in a war Madi. Keep praying for peace.
3:58 pm
mkg

those who i call themselves terrorists dont value life period. not their own, not their families and not anyones. so of course they could care less about whom they kill. certainly the targets are merely any person who is from the western world. they bombed subways in england. now what did the brits ever do to them?
3:58 pm
pam

Close to 4000 people died on 9.11. So the current US president used it as an excuse to bomb Iraq. Sinful.
3:59 pm
Michnick

If anyone would look at History, the Brits always came out on the side of the Arab world.
3:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

pam, the current american prez would have used anything as an excuse. he is a war criminal at least 600,000 times over
4:00 pm
mkg

hamas and fatah have NEVER ONCE said that israel can exist. they only say israel must NOT exist. that they want 100% of the land and they want 100% of the israelis gone. and the land was never 100% theirs anyway! jews always lived there from the biblical times. jews were always in hebron, jerusalem, haifa, tel aviv area, safat, etc. always.
4:00 pm
pam

agreed, bdg
4:00 pm
Michnick

Pam, I agree with you that the Israeli government should be held to the same standards as any other nation. But it is not and never has been. Would any other nation sit back for so long and allow their citizens to be killed because they are afraid of world opinion?
4:01 pm
mkg

no nation in the world conquers land and gives it back for peace and then doesnt get the peace.
4:01 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

there is no solving the middle east question unless one side (or both) is willing to be forgiven. so said a longtime negotiator interviewed on tv years ago
4:01 pm
mkg

no other nation allows missles to come over their borders for years with no response.
4:01 pm
pam

There is a double standard everywhere, mich. People on all sides afraid of sounding anti-Israeli or anti-arab. Israel is hamstrung, to a point. Arab leaders are hamstrung, to a point. So terrorism thrives.
4:02 pm
mkg

no other nation uses such restraint and tries not to kill citizens as much as israel. the u.s. carpet bombs as does all other nations. only israel doesnt.
4:02 pm
NonnieLight

I have a song stuck in my head
...all we are saying is give peace a chance...
4:02 pm
Michnick

Ahh I don't think we will solve the Mid East Crisis here tonight.
4:02 pm
pam

forgiveness is indeed the first step.
4:03 pm
mkg

well if israel is held by the same standard as the palestinians, they can then send missles daily over the borders over and over again. it has been 8 yrs of missles comeing from gaza and wounding and killiing israeli's.
4:03 pm
Michnick

Yes Pam, but who exactly should forgive whom? The Israelis are always first to forgive, usually before the other side asks for forgiveness. They never will because they are so sure they are right.
4:03 pm

TeaNCrackers

depends on your state rules, jellen, but most likely
7:47 pm

I actually fear dealing with the irs.....
