6 As soon as I get this pitcher of water back, I have to weed the garden, do laundry, clean the house, bake bread, and start dinner. Pick some strawberries and make jam. Collect up some cabbage heads and make sauerkraut. Chop some wood. Milk the cow. Feed the pigs. All that before dark while the husband is doing, what, exactly.

No wonder I'm exhausted.

17 Reminds me of a story. It's told about a lot of the early movie studios, but let's say this time it's Vitagraph:

They took a look at their books for the week, to see what profit their little nickelodeon pices made -

Black Mountain Express: 75 cents
At the World's Fair: one dollar
Girl Climbing Apple Tree: three dollars

"Boys," the Vitagraph chief said to his directors, "I think we need more of those "girl climbing apple tree" movies."

Well, maybe you had to be there.

22 I don't care of Conant mixed his own paints, manufactured his own brushes, and painted that thing in 26.07 seconds.

If he wore an objectionable shirt, that makes the painting completely worthless.

I wish you were right, but if Bibi were going to make the rubble bounce, he should have done it last time.

The fact is that too many, even in Israel, simply don't have the guts for the kind of punitive action necessary here.

And, also, expect lots of "warnings" from the West about "not over-reacting."

44 Houston (TX) NPR has been running a series of stories on redevelopment in the city's 2nd Ward (east end near part of the Houston Ship Channel). Today's story was somewhat charming.

A new pedestrian mall has been created as part of the redevelopment effort. Some resident groups are complaining about the soul of the new developments.

Complaints included:

1. Development is not respectful of the history of the community.
2. The new structures lack character. The colors are bland and not the vibrant colors typical of Mexico
3. Little Spanish is spoken in the re-developed areas
4. What was 'La corazon de la comunidad' has lost its carazon

OOOKAAAAAAY!

No This will NOT be War. They will not be able to track this attack back to the Hamas or PA Leadership. Yes it was incitement, but they are always inciting the ignorant arab masses to violence. That is in their mother's milk. This was just what will be many "lone Wolf" attacks. Now I am for killing all the wolves but there will no be a War and nor will Bibi bomb the Hamas Leadership in Gaza. Targeted killings of the Hamas Leadership in Gaza or overseas, maybe. And as I have said over and over and over again Netanyahu is no Sharon.

I wonder if my liberal friends on Facebook will correct their "Praise Obama and the Democrats, woe is us, the Republicans have taken the Senate" memes that state that there have been no attacks by AlQaeda on Americans since Prezy Putz has been in office.

Seriously. They believe that unless a timestamped business card from AlQaeda was left behind in a terror attack, then it wasn't a terror attack that counts.
Like Boston. That one didn't count because no AlQaeda leader was jumping up an down on the internet taking credit for it.

111 Guess I've always likes how Spock and Kirk complemented each other - Kirk uses his gut while Spock uses logic. What's the point of their partnership - how are they better when they're together - if they're both running around taking risks, kicking butt?
But whatever. Love Karl Urban as Bones.

Which brings to mind Eric Bana as the villain in the first film. Whiniest douche film villain in decades.

As a side note, it's interesting to me that Eric Bana played such a badass in Blackhawk Down and had the screen presence to rock the film world......and it sure looks like he pissed it away.

126 Just a personal observation:

Over the years I have noticed "Less" openly visible weapons on the Streets of Israel and less IDF personal. I think that trend is going to have to be reversed. Israeli society might be becoming more "civil" but the enemy certainly is NOT.

And Hey America: This goes DOUBLE for us

128 Chris Pine as the young Kirk was a good casting choice, I thought. I
didn't really dig Zachary Quinto as Spock, though. Karl Urban as McCoy
was genius.

All the casting was good, IMO. Benedict Cumberbatch even made a really good villain. He just wasn't Khan Noonian Singh.

I just wish JJ Abrams didn't think he had to be smarter than his fans. Is he even aware of how many people got into real science because of Star Trek? Many of Trekies (and the later Trekers) are real nerds- and they weren't fooled for a minute by "It's totally not Khan!!!" Why even tell the lie?

139 A BBC anchor instructed an Israeli politician on the air to put down a photo of one of the lifeless victims of Tuesdays deadly terror attack at a Jerusalem synagogue.

Israeli Economy Minister Naftali Bennett held up the photo to show the depth of the brutality of the attack, which left three Americans and one Briton dead.

Sorry, we dont want to actually see that picture, if you can take that down,

Of course! These attackers(won't say Palestinian either) are criminals who smear the good name of Islam with their cruel deeds. If both sides would simply come together, it would root out these individuals who simply seek attention for themselves and make their cause useless.

154 I'd be surprised if Obama deigns to say anything about the AMericans just killed in Israel. He didn't say anything about the three teens who were kidnapped and murdered. He didn't say anything about the 3 month old baby that was recently run over. It just doesn't register with him. Americans slaughtered by Palestinians? **crickets**
