Discussion of the Month
May already...What ever happened to April? Time waits for no man or woman. I read a quote from American author, Jack London that expresses a good rule to follow in living life. He says that life was meant to be experienced fully, to be enjoyed and lived to the fullest extent. That really hit a nerve with me. Many times I seem to be satisfied by living life in my simple way, not expecting too much, not giving too much and being relieved to live right below the radar, so not to "ruffle" feathers too much...more

Entertainment
Sin City  the name says it all - violence, nudity and down right inappropriate subject matter make up the current movie Sin City. I made it through the whole movie. Some people, about 2 or 3, walked out of the movie within an hour of it starting. I wasn't really enjoying the movie, but at the end I decided that it wasn't that bad. But I definitely would not pay to see it again...more

Health, Fitness and Lifestyle
McDonald's 50 years old. Mickey D's has been fattening-up Americans as well as people from all over the world for the past 50 years. I remember the first McDonald's in Sharon, PA. The hamburgers were so cheap that first couple of weeks. I think they were $0.05 or $0.25 each. There was no dining room in the 1050's, we had to go in and secure our order and then eat in the car...more

Politics
Today Saturday, April 30, 2005 is the end of the first 100 days of the second presidential term of President George W. Bush. What has he achieved?

All polls say that more than half of all Americans feel that he is "not" doing a good job as president...more

Religion and Spiritualism
We have a new pope, Pope Benedict XVI. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany was elected the new pope. I think it was a mistake. Strong words, but words from the heart. Pope Benedict XVI is a very conservative, traditional, non-tolerant person. He appeals to the John Paul II conservative branch of the Roman Catholic Church, however, he will not appeal to the American Catholic laity...more

Technology and Business
There has been a call for cell phone users to list their cell phone numbers on the infamous "Do Not Call List". Forget it. The Monday, April 25, Sun-Sentinel business insert says that a rumor was spreading saying that telemarketers were about to hit the jackpot by receiving scores of cellular phone numbers from the telecommunications companies. It was a hoax...more

Too Strange, Weird or Just Funny
Man in DuBois, PA loves his Burger King French Fries so much that without the fast food fat laden fries, the man goes berserk. A man at a drive-thru window became so mad at the clerk because the clerk had told the man that the restaurant was out of French fries and onion rings...more
