Here's how it works - download and print the sign, take a digital pic of you with the sign, and email it to the ACLU.  They will use it in an upcoming advertising campaign.

 *  I can't help looking at Hillary Clinton as a spoiled sport for not squelching an attempt to put her name in nomination at the convention.  I am assuming this means she isn't the VP pick (and I'm glad of late - she disappointed me these past couple of months).  

* I listened with great interest and even a bit of awe to Billy Graham give a Ted Talk (old talk from 1998 - retrieved from the archives).  I'm not religious in the way most people are, but I do agree that we, the human race, lack the glue that binds us - and don't seem to have a clue, as a world society, how to find it.  I enjoyed this talk very much - I enjoy listening to him - even when I don't agree with  his specific religious beliefs.

*  Poof! Next `Harry Potter' flick moves to NEXT summer  
    Ouch - there's going to be a few upset peeps out there I think.

*  I spent yesterday with my friend Alexis and her friend - we went to see the new Mummy movie and eat Mongolian BBQ.  I stopped off at SunHarvest Farms and found Organic soybeans on sale for 89 cents a pound - very good deal these days.  I stocked up.  We also stopped by the co-op and we both couldn't resist an old fashioned manual crank "coffee" mill (made in China) for $25.99.  It said on the box it would grind grains and beans which sold me since I've been trying to find something to crack grains for me for making Tempeh and hot cereals.  I tested it and - yes, it works (though it only does a small quantity at a time - it's a good task while watching TV or a DVD).  I will post a picture this weekend.

*  Is there ANYBODY who didn't see this coming?...... US, Poland agree to missile defense deal

* Every day this week I got my heiny up at 7am and walked 30 minutes before I was awake enough to talk myself out of it.  A few of those days I also did the warmup portion of the Inhale yoga show.  W00t - I'm on a roll :-)

* Finally - Sweden shows that, not only are they are poor losers, but they can throw one heck of a temper tantrum..... LoL

Swedish fans booed loudly as the judges filed out of the arena. Abrahamian said nothing to waiting reporters but whacked an aluminium barricade with his fist as he left the hall.......Swedish coach Leo Myllari said: “It’s all politics.”

  

Yes, it's still slightly negative - but at least it's funny..... ;-)

Enlightening, but it made me crave a glass of vanilla soymilk......

My mother and I were having a Mother's Day conversation on the phone - it turned to politics.  She mentioned how it looks like Obama will get the nomination.  My mom isn't thrilled with Obama - but I think she prefers him to the alternative.  We chat about it a little and when she gets tired of talking politics she says. "Well, at least he can't do too much damage since there's the senate and congress to create checks & balances"  Hehehehe  Yep, they sure kept things on the straight and narrow for the last eight years, they did :-) 

This is no surprise - I wish Dennis Kucinich would get elected, but we all know that will never happen.
