The Fundamentalists will be the ruin of America if they are not stopped...

(I got this from an email that a friend of mine sent me)

 

 

On Wednesday, March 1st, 2006, in Annapolis at a hearing on the proposed Constitutional Amendment to prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, professor of law at AU, was requested to  testify.

At the end of his  testimony, Republican Senator Nancy Jacobs said: "Mr. Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman.  What do you have to say about that?"

Raskin replied:  "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."

The room erupted into applause.

BA Room DRAMA

ChimeraMorph: I keep hearin' that you IM people and tell them they can't be your friends if they talk to someone you don't like....is that true?!
Sunny B Badd: Chim, nope, not one grain of truth in that
Sunny B Badd: Chim, I suggest you consider your "source" on that one
PuppyTherapy: Sunny - so you didn't tell Fred to do that with me???????
PuppyTherapy: liar
ChimeraMorph: huh.....I just kept hearing it.....from several different regs...that's why I asked ya
PuppyTherapy: totally
Sunny B Badd: Chimmy, I suggest you IM fred and ask him - he will back up what I say
PuppyTherapy: no he won't
STIGMATA6X3: and while you're IMing fred     talk dirty to him
ChimeraMorph: um....poor ol' Fred is only one of the roomies that told me that....
PuppyTherapy: Fred IM'd me immediately to tell me you were doing that to him
Lrcressida: Chimerapmorph:  I have experienced this by those that owuld c0ontrol to whom i communicate within chat.  Can we say anal retentive control freak.
PuppyTherapy: she did it to me twice
AnomicAgnostic: "dont talk to these people or you cant be my friend" lol.....hahahahaha
PuppyTherapy: and finally the second time, I told her I was finished being friends
AnomicAgnostic: thats awesome
ChimeraMorph: Lrc....we could say that...or we could say lots of other things as well
AnomicAgnostic: when it gets to that point, it is time to sign off aol for a month
ChimeraMorph: Sun..why would they tell me that if ya didn't really do that? is it some great conspiracy?
Sunny B Badd: Chim, again, I suggest you consider the source.  In fact, ask leeDeeBee, Babby, or Pool if I ever did that to them
PuppyTherapy: first with Buzz and then with MKelly - of course, she ONLY said all of that AFTER I met MK, Vex, and Fred while showing my dogs in florida
Electromgcn: Sunny,   this is a typical example of control freak behavior, I hope you expected it and are not harmed by it
Sunny B Badd: Chim, I have no idea, but I do suspect one very mentally ill woman is behind it.
PuppyTherapy: chim - half of the room is conspiring against her
PuppyTherapy: the point is: Chim's SEEN you do it
PuppyTherapy: Fast - did you see Sunny do that to anyone?
STIGMATA6X3: there are so many mentally ill people coming to BA  how will we ever know which one it is???
Electromgcn: best just to ignore tha control freak regs
Hobbit refugee: Im mentally ill
Sunny B Badd: Electro, I agree.
Hobbit refugee: ask my girlfriend

Part 2

PuppyTherapy: Elect - which ones are the control freaks
Electromgcn: Pup,   the  ones who act like control freaks
PuppyTherapy: elect - how about the ones who try to control the room but aren't even atheists?
Electromgcn: COntrol freaks tend to play the martyr, and victim a lot to sway  others
PuppyTherapy: those peoplare my favorites
Sunny B Badd: Electro, yep
ChimeraMorph: how odd......
Sunny B Badd: Electro, she has no idea you're talking about her
PuppyTherapy: Fast - you missed my question - scroll up
Electromgcn: lol Sun
PuppyTherapy: PuppyTherapy: Fast - did you see sunny telling people who to speak to and who not to speak to? thought you said something about that....
PuppyTherapy: It amazes me that so many people are actually AFRAID to say anything negative to sunny when she's here, but when she's not - it's another story
Smaptimillian: I'm not afraid to say anything negative about Sunny.
AnomicAgnostic: i ignore sunny...she speaks nonsense
Smaptimillian: She's a wanker.
Sunny B Badd: <~~~ very very scary person
PuppyTherapy: she really has a lot of control over many people - and for that she should be congratulated
AnnieInstead: Puppy Sunny is nothing but nice as far as I know
PuppyTherapy: Annie - stick around
atchmouser: <~~scared of Sunny
STIGMATA6X3: they dont call you badd  for nothing
Sunny B Badd: Stig, lol
Sunny B Badd: TY Annie
Sunny B Badd: Watch???
Sunny B Badd: BOO!!!!!!!
Sunny B Badd: hahahaha!!!
Watchmouser: lol
PuppyTherapy: but I'll give you this - Sunny is a master at chatting, absolutel master, which must be sooo nice to be good at at least ONE thing
ELDAVO12: Puppy IM
AnnieInstead: Puppy what is your problem?  Wake up on the wrong side of the galaxy?
Sunny B Badd: Is it just me, or is Puppy like that SmartNSassyGal used to be?
ChimeraMorph: Annie...she's just reponding to a question I asked Sun earlier....
PuppyTherapy: nope Annie, I finally WOKE up, is my point, I suppose
STIGMATA6X3: Like sand thru the hour glass  so are the days of BA
LeeDeeBee0: lol sTig
Sunny B Badd: Well I think that if someone doesn't like someone else, they should put that person on ignore and carry on, and NOT keep obsessing over said person, like Sassy always died.
Sunny B Badd: *did
Sunny B Badd: I think I shall now click all the mentally ill people :)
ChimeraMorph: *shakes head in confusion...* I just don't know why so many people would tell me something that wasn't true....oh well <shrug>
PuppyTherapy: chim - it IS true
PuppyTherapy: lol elect
Electromgcn: there are at least  3 more
Lrcressida: Sunny oh no i am about to be  clicked, Jesus help me.
PuppyTherapy: lmfao rc
Sunny B Badd: Electro, yep - I just put Puppy on ignore
STIGMATA6X3: this eyetalian  doesnt call it gravy
Sunny B Badd: so I have one less obsessive liar on ignore

Part 3

ChimeraMorph: Hey Benny
PuppyTherapy: it's called the Fear Factor
Sunny B Badd: (((Toofie))))
PuppyTherapy: and it's funnier than hell
PuppyTherapy: my point is this - most of us are here to have fun, real fun, but some have ulterior motives, and will go out of their way to DEMAND that people ignore this one or that or THEY will be ignored
PuppyTherapy: granted, most don't heed the master, but it's mean and grade school to ask people to do this - and it's basically enough, now
PuppyTherapy: it shouldn't be tolerated
STIGMATA6X3: puppy   that was done to me  by houd
AnnieInstead: <--- hops on slug's lap
OnlineHost: ELDAVO12 has left the room.
Blue666phoeenix: I see out pet Fudie is here.
Lrcressida: CHIM:  I was referring t GIAM regs who have disappeared also Ciberpuppie and Dougiekewl nd of course "ATHEIST"
PuppyTherapy: stig - and to me, twice, by sunny
PoolGodess: Back
PuppyTherapy: and it happened right after I got home from meeting MK - and MKelly was verbally brutalized
PoolGodess: Hey Bennykins :)
ChimeraMorph: wb Poolie
Sunny B Badd: Pool, Sassy Jr. is here
PoolGodess: Sassy Jr?
PuppyTherapy: RC - I'm PuppyByNature, JennDon'tBuyIt, Arfus Poeticus'
ChimeraMorph: whatever happened to MKelle? she used to come in here quite a bit? I always liked her
AnomicAgnostic: this is insane
PuppyTherapy: NOT puppy in a blender
Sunny B Badd: Pool, yeah, watch.  See who is going on and on and on about me for hours, without me even talking to or about it
PuppyTherapy: I've NEVER been in a blender!!!!!
AnomicAgnostic: THIS IS A CHATROOM - GROW UP
AnomicAgnostic: ugh
PuppyTherapy: see? THIS is why we are no longer friends
Lrcressida: PUPPY:  It is hard ot imagine one consistently talking to only those others tell you to listen to.  I think as a room we drop the ball and are overly mean to polite fundies.
Sunny B Badd: LOL Stiggy
LeeDeeBee0: lol stig good point
PuppyTherapy: it's the insults, and the back biting, and the obsession, and the name calling
AnomicAgnostic: discussing interesting things
PuppyTherapy: and it never stops
AnomicAgnostic: not chatroom factions
Lrcressida: Sunny is Puppy Sassy Jr.?
PuppyTherapy: and it's done, now
PuppyTherapy: RC - not quite
PoolGodess: I hate this.
Sunny B Badd: LrCress, Yes sir - can'tcha tell?
PuppyTherapy: but until she stops with the name calling and threatening MY friends.............................
Lrcressida: Sunny I know for a fact that the morning crowd of Malakas and meanies badmouth you regularly
Smaptimillian: Hobbit is right. We have to stop these outsiders from seducing our regs and dragging them away.
Sunny B Badd: LRcress, oh yeah
PuppyTherapy: RC --- I'm not a part of that group either

 

ALL THE DRAMA IN BA HAS ONE PERSON IN COMMON...

 

 

 

(David and I am being quiet no longer)

 

 

 

It's Super Bowl Sunday!

 

 

 

                                                   bleh...

 

 

 

 

(and AholeL reset my journal again for the second time without me asking, I guess they can only count as high as the number of fingers and toes they have working for them in Bopal India...)

 

Seriousily, if you don't already have AOL (Not Responding), then don't get it, it's the WORST internet service available...

 

 

David the patient...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

an update on dear ol' David

1)     Princess is back home safe and sound.  I hadn't seen the stupid dog in quite a while and I was worried that my neighbors had lost their dog.  I felt guilty because I wasn't able to catch Princess that first day she ran off.  Anywho...I saw her in the backyard a couple of days ago, she's A-Ok.

 

2)     Dobbs called me back the very next day and I had the Store Manager lecture me on how everything was my fault for about 30 minutes.  I didn't say a thing, I just let him stumble over his poor attempt at customer service.  Finally he admitted that his guys might have broken my windshield wiper fluid reservoir and he would pay to replace it in my vehicle.  I told him to jump in the lake.  I also told him to NEVER contact me again, I was serious when I told him that DOBBS blew it.  Dobbs is a crappy business with crappy people working there and I don't want anything to do with them anymore.  I will PAY for the replacement of my windshield wiper fluid reservoir myself and consider myself lucky not to have to set foot inside a DOBBS ever again...

 

3)     I am still sick, and it sucks.  I am calling in sick to work today.

 

4)     Ray lost at RISK.  I didn't win, I barly made it past the point that Ray was gobbled up.  But the funny part is...RAY LOST!  And he didn't take it so well...

 

5)     I am still very good looking and smart (just for the record)

 

 

(David all bundled up coughing and sneezing with a runny nose)

Minor Bureaucrats in India have an overdeveloped sense of their own importance.  If I didn't have this journal on AOL I would cancel my subscription, AOL (Not Responding) is a screwed up company...

 

                     (and I'm sick too... ::pouts:: ...)

 

 

 

 

 

Do NOT trust Dobbs Automotive...

Dobbs cheats their customers!

 

Please allow me to elaborate...

 

A while ago I spent over $700.00 at Dobbs Automotive having work done on my car.  I had a door handle fixed and new belts put on too.  A little while later an annoying screeching noise started coming out from underneath the hood of my car.  Worrying that I had a cat caught in my engine I opened the hood to find out that the noise was coming from the belts that Dobbs had put on.  Either one was loose or some bearings were going bad.  I also noticed that my previousily A-OK Wind Shield Wiper Fluid Reservoir had been broken from both of it's moorings to the car frame.  The top mooring had been broken as if someone was prying the Reservoir upwards (maybe trying to make more room for installing belts...Hmmmm?), the bottom mooring had been snapped off (as if the Reservoir was pried upwards in an attempt to make more room to work on the belts of my car...Hmmmm?).  When I finally took my car back in to have it looked at, Dobbs declared that one of the belts needed tightening and that my Reservoir was broken from age...::shakes head::  That is why I was dreading taking my car back in.  I knew they would lie and try to weasel out of fixing what they had broken.  The guy offered to throw in labor for free but I was going to have to pay for a new Reservoir.  Why offer to throw in labor for free if Dobbs had done nothing wrong?  My old Reservoir is working fine, it has just been snapped off of it's mooring to the car frame.  They slide a paper at me and wanted me to sign it for "picking up the car", so of course I read it, and it said that the Reservoir was broken because of age.  Very deceitful on Dobbs part.  Dobbs Automotive employs liars and cheats.  I admit I am not much of a "Car Guy".  Think about the most handy guy you know, the guy that always knows what is wrong with your car and offers to help you fix your car whenever it breaks down.  Imagine that guy standing next to you.  I'm the guy waving "Hello" to you from across the County line...  So now I'm writing an entry into my journal so everyone that reads this will know how Dobbs treats their customers (remember I have been going to them for 8 yrs now: tires, tune-ups, repair work, etc).  And I'm contacting Dobbs Corporate and letting them know what their guys are doing.  And I'm contacting the Better Business Bureau and filing a complaint.  And I'm going to tell EVERYONE I know this story for the rest of my life...what is that taste?  Allum?  Yes I am bitter, Dobbs made a BIG customer service mistake...

 

BIG MISTAKE DOBBS... BIG!

David and I'm grinning like a Great White Shark

                          ::big toothy grin::

 

 

I bought a new board game...

I bought a new board game... : hmmmmmmmmm I didn't know you could do this, very interesting... DAS

I bought a new board game...

I BOUGHT 'SETTLERS OF CATAN' (PLUS THE EXPANSION PACK) ON SATURDAY.  NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY...boo hoo boo hoo...

 

I'm taking my car in today to get the whiney noise fixed.  I hope I don't have to argue with them, they broke the mountings on my wind shield wiper fluid container the last time I took it in.  The whiney noise is coming from the same area that they worked on last time so I don't know if it's a new problem or if there is a new issue with my belts.  ::SIGH::

 

i also need to buy some meeces for Mr. Grinch.  he is out, so that means in his mind he is hunting...silly frog!

 

                 DAVID on Monday at 10:48am and I will never give up...

 

 

::feeling sorry for myself::

 

Q:  What is worse than having a crappy sex life for 23 years?

A:  Having NO sex life for the rest of your life...

 

 

David, and I feel the same, but I'm not...

 

 

 

"All you ever do is Ride Around Sally... Ride... Sally... Ride..."

::dances::

 

Last night I closed at my store.  Things went pretty good and I stopped at Micky Dee's on the way home and picked up some Chicken McNuggets for din din.  When I get home I'm emptying out my pockets onto the bookshelf:  Keys, Store Keys, Change, Pocketknife, Wallet, Cell Phone, Business Card Holder, Cash Pull Envelope with $300 dollars in it... Whoops..........................................

 

                                      (to quote Astro...RUT ROH!)

 

Fill my pockets back up like some OCD Kangeroo and drive back to the store to put the mula into the safe where it belongs, and I finally get back home at 12:30 am...

 

                                           ::sigh::

 

I never said I was smart, just really good looking...

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's 8:22pm and I have the next 5 days off from work...What kind of mischief can I get into?

 

David all day long...

 

 

(I walked 7.25 miles at work today)

Using my Movie Gift Card...

I saw Hostel tonight.  It was disturbing.  The funny thing is that one of the extras in the film I recognized from a... ummm... site I go to.  Her pic is the one posted above.  "It's a small world after all..."

 

David on Sunday January 15th, and I should be doing my laundry...

 

 

Marsha Marsha Marsha...::stomps foot::

I was mad about a long overdue expense check that I was owed, so my Boss came to the store to take me out to lunch.  We ate at the Chili's in the parking lot of my store.  On the walk back to the store, a girl calls out "HEY guy!"  I'm thinking NO ONE I know would call to me like that, but it might be one of my employees...  So I look over at the car pulling out from between Chili's and the Bank.  And the girl in the passenger seat flashes my Boss and I.  It was Friday the 13th with full moon that night...

I wore the Pedometer for the first time on Sunday and again today on Monday.  I left work early both days.  I walked 4.48 miles on Sunday while at work, and 5.75 miles today...

That explains why after I increased my calorie intake I still maintained my weight at the plateau of around 262 to 264...  I am doing a Marathon every day at work...

 

Sitting here contemplating my navel... Anyone want to knit a sweater?  David the Barbarian at 6pm on Monday evening...

 

 

Another day, another dollar...

I was supposed to go play wargames with Geoff last Friday, but I was bushed after work so I just went home.  Tomorrow after work we might go over to Doug's house and get in some Gaming.  Geoff and Doug are starting up some WWII miniatures wargaming, and I am always up for gaming... David<~~~~~Nerd!

Mr. Grinch has a full belly....FULL OF BABY MICE!  lol I am SUCH an evil bastage...

I need a girlfriend, I guess I prolly should get a divorce first... ::sigh:: Women are such sticklers on little details like that...

 

10 pm and it's time for me to hit the sheets...

update:  The cute little barber is STILL cute...

Thursday Update

Yesterday was an interesting day...That is a Chinese curse..."May you have an interesting life"...LOL.  I goofed off till 3pm and then hopped into the nerd car to drive to work.  I drove around my neighborhood to look at a house for rent and I noticed a tan pitbull running loose.   "Hey, that's my neighbor's dog."  So of course I give chase.  'Precious' is a year old and a goofy stupid dog that I throw cookies to over the fence and I worry that she will get run over in the streets.  After about 5 minutes I catch up to her and get her attention and she recognizes me but won't come near the car.  An amused Arab man watches from his yard and a female jogger stops to help.  Precious LOVES the attention but won't get in the car, and keeps doing the "Chase Me Game".  I give up and drive to my neighbor to let them know their dog is loose.  No one home.  So I go raid the cookie jar and start back to find Precious.  After driving around for another 10 minutes I find her again.  I feed her the cookies and she calms down a lot.  She still won't get in the car.  I'm almost out of cookies and I turn to get the last two sitting in my coin tray and as my back it turned...Precious jumps into my car.  Cool.  I climb in after her and shut the door.  She devours the remaining two cookies and goes on a galloping tour of my car stepping on everything and everyone (and by everyone I mean me).  I attempt to drive her home and almost miss the turn because Precious insists on standing in my lap and licking me square in the face.  And for a short hair dog in the dead of Winter, she sheds a lot.  I pull into her driveway and I'm thinking, "cool, I can take her around back and hook her onto her chain and all will be right in the world.  Precious has a different plan.  As soon as her paws hit her own lawn she drops limp to the ground and starts whining like I'm killing her.  I'm holding onto the collar of a scared pitbull laying on her back with her tail between her legs.  Not good.  I kneel down on the wet lawn and try to pick her up to carry her and she twists out of my hands and runs off like Hell is on her tail.  This sucks.  Twenty minutes gone, and so is Precious.  I can't spend anymore time in the "Precious Hunt" so I jump back into my car and head out to work.  I still have time to get a flat top before I go in to close.  I arrive at the Barber shop and the guy that cut my hair last time is no where in sight.  I wait and a cute little girl comes back from lunch and PRESTO I'm her next client.  I think, 'she's as good as any other choice in the shop.'  She cuts my hair.  She is obviously new to the shop and takes a lot of teasing from the other barbers.  When she's done I look into the mirror.  NOT a flat top.  Kind of a crew cut, kind of.  She asks me how it looks.  What should I do?  Tell her it's not a flat top?  Tell her she screwed up in front of all the other male barbers so they have something else to tease her about?  I gave her a tip and left.  I will go to the barber in Arnold on Saturday and get it fixed.  David<~~~~~sucker!  So I finally arrive at work smelling like a wet dog with a mud stain on the knee of my pants and sporting a brand new bad haircut.  "A Pirate's Life for Me!"  ::dances a jig::

 

I am sitting here at 11:23am Thursday morning laughing at myself...

::shrugs:: She was a cute barber... ::grins::

 

 

::grins::

 

I dreamed about three baby elephants swimming in the pool at the tropical resort I was staying at...

 

Analyze that!
