Adalia- I would like to take the time to welcome you to JU. You sound like a very interesting person and I look forward to reading what it is you have to say. I hope that you feel at home here on JU and take the time to open up and reveal yourself like many of us have. Once again, welcome, and best wishes to you, hopefully from your new friend, SameOldRat.

This reminds me of times in life where I am going through a period of transition. One of those times when you think you have everything figured out and then, well, you realize everything is changing and all that you believe you have learned seems useless. These are probably the toughest times in life for me. Luckily though, when appearing on the other side of it, I'm stronger and am glad that I experienced what I have during that time. Life is a funny

My comment counter and home visits is messed up as well. Just so you know you are not alone. Maybe it will get fixed soon, I hope so anyway.

Parated- the quote thing isn't working so: We are not a great country because we shut each other up, we are great because people like you and David are willing to be friends no matter how loud the rhetoric gets. I commend you on this. I believe we live in the greatest country in the world, and to believe in something you have to question its ways. Questioning something is a very personal thing as well, and we all come to different con

I can't believe you remember my sister! it had been so long since I have been posting, I figured that nobody would even remember who I was. Leaping Lizard is doing absolutely wonderful. She has now finished college and graduated with her Masters in elementary education specialized in mathematics. I wish she would begin posting again, but we don't talk about our own virtual worlds, simply because it will always consume real life conversation, so she'll

Thanks Texas Wahine, I truly appreciate your support for my friend. Best wishes to you as well, and to whoever it is you love that is serving.

Reiki- I haven't necessarily tried to talk him out of joining. The initial shock of him telling me that he was joining was responded by me as a fuck that type of attitude, but he knows the way that I feel about things and I understand the way that he feels about things, so talking him out of it would never work. Would I rather see him not go, of course, but everybody has a different path in life and this is what he has chosen, and that is wh

Thank you much Reiki. I too hope things have calmed down by the time he arrives. It took alot for me to support his decision, but I would never let politics ruin a personal relationship. Once again, thanks for the support.

Reply to You're Gonna Be a Soldier? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I have to agree with LW. Just because I am not able to serve doesn't make my support for the war and our soldiers any less genuine. I agree completely, that was not the point I was making.

Reply to You're Gonna Be a Soldier? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I would never assert that anyone not unwilling to go, but just plain not able to go, as a bad thing. I support everyones opinion, and believe it is great that anyone can have an opinion. This article is plain personal, and I find it great that someone who believes in the war is actually going to fight in it. There was no harm meant to those who have limitations, and to those who have fought, I thank them from my heart. Any disrespect to you or anyone e

You're Gonna Be a Soldier? in Politics JoeUser Forums

It has been a while since I have written on JU, and my pact with myself for writing again was to not post anything political, but this is only semi-political, so here it goes. A friend of mine, a die hard Republican, has recently revealed to me that he is joining the Army. I am a Liberal, and don't agree with the war. After much deliberation and anger in m

So, You Drink and Drive? in Art JoeUser Forums

There is one basic rule when it comes to a Boozer's life, try not to drink and drive. It does happen from time to time, and at least for me, ends in a morning of regret, when a morning should be saved for nursing a hangover. The answer to this problem is simple, every boozer should own a mini-van. A typical mini-van seats appx. eight people at the most, bu

The Art of Blacking Out in Art JoeUser Forums

Blacking out! Just one of the finer parts of drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. To some it may be a problem, but I say embrace it. A wiser man that myself once said, "If it happens that you do blackout, it is probably better that you don't remember anyway. It doesn't really matter either, because your friends will always tell you what happened." Now if that isn't

Reply to The Left Today in Politics JoeUser Forums

I realized that you made that point in your article. As far as the loons not running the right, that is all just a personal observation. Someone who has a radically different view than mine may look like a loon to me, but if another guy has they exact view as him, then he doesn't look loony to that guy. There are loony people everywhere, both sides, and from every angle. That is what I believe makes it interesting.

Reply to The Left Today in Politics JoeUser Forums

This is true for both parties as well. I think the problem for the left though is people hopping on the bandwagon. You have hippy kids thinking it is the sixties, a time for revoultion and change, spouting off and not making sense because there to stoned to realize whats going on. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, I just believe they should tak a little time and be able to back up a claim that they make. But I do know Righties that are the same, mainly

Drinking With the Faerie in Art JoeUser Forums

For any true boozer out there, at one point or another, you have either dreamed of or have tried the wonderful elixir that goes by the name Absinthe. Me myself, have only had the opportunity to drink Absente, a cheap knock off made with Southern Wormwood instead of the real stuff. But anyway, for those that don't know about this Liquer, here is an overview. M

I have made the greatest discovery of all time! Okay, that may be an exageration, considering I have known about it for some time, so it really isn't a discovery anymore, but I think it is great and I am here to share it. This discovery is a magazine called Modern Drunkard. As far as I can tell, it is only available for print in Colorado and Minnesota, unless you deci

Brewery Tour For a Boozer in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

So I recently visited Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the Minnesota Twins and Brewers game which the Twins sadly lost. But with all that behind me, I finally had the opportunity to take a tour of a brewery. Of course, Milwaukee is famous for the Miller Brewery, but I decided to go on a fairly smaller tour. I decided on the Lakefront Brewery which only produces roughly 6,000
