What you think does matter

HANDBAGS... I never gave it a thought. Who would have thought? Have you ever noticed gals who sit their handbags on public toilet floors - then go directly to their dining tables and set it on the table? Happens a lot! It's not always the 'restaurant food' that causes stomach distress. Sometimes "what you don't know 'will' hurt you"! Read on: It's something just about every woman carries with them. While we may know what's inside our handbags, do you have any idea what's on the outside? Women carry handbags everywhere; from the office to public toilets to the floor of the car. Most women won't be caught without their handbags, but did you ever stop to think about where your handbag goes during the day? "I drive a school bus, so my handbag has been on the floor of the bus a lot," says one woman. "On the floor of my car, and in toilets." "I put my handbag in grocery shopping carts, on the floor of the toilet whil...

True Hobbits apparently existed in history. Now considering how scientist view the world - I don’t know if the existence of “Hobbits” mean that evolution is a proven fact - or weather the Trilogy of “Lord of the Rings” is an actual tail of historical facts? It amazes me how science works today - you can find a piece of a bone fragment and scientist some how know what this bone was - a hobbit who wore green cloths and knew a friend called “Bill Bogget” from wilshire ave…….LoL. Did hobbits exist? Does it some how prove that Evolution is correct and not a theory that can not be proven or disproved? Someone call hollywood - we may have some copyright infringement law issues.

Could it be true - what do you think? Scientists have found the fossilised claw of a 2.5 metre long sea scorpion, a nighmarish creature living before the age of dinosaurs. German scientist Markus Poschmann, who found the claw in a quarry around 15 years ago, says scientists didn't previously know that these prehistoric animals were so big. Joanna Partridge reports Soundbite: Markus Poschmann, scientist who discovered fossilised sea scorpion claw.

I need my next fix – Am I addicted? Well here I am in the library trying to write my post on my blog when I realized I have a serious addiction. And I didn’t even know it! What happened? Well, my computer crashed and it’s in the repair shop – it’s been 6 days and I’ve spent all my time thinking about my computer, finding and using other computers with internet access in order to log on to my sites and blogs. Then it hit me, I’m like a junkie running all over town looking for my fix? I can’t believe it. I didn’t realize how needy I am. How much I obsess with my online activities. Yea I thought I spent too much time online – but, when you have to go cold turkey… you start to crave it even more. You know you’ve hit rock bottom when your at the library ready to push some elderly woman out from in front of the computer you want……… Boy I have it bad. Oh how I miss my computer. Nice clean, slick, set up with all my list of fav’s and ready to guide me in this online world ....... Oh God help m...

Nov. 9 - A Japanese designer has come up with a novel way to address personal safety in the face of street crime - use urban camouflage. Aya Tsukioka's Coke-machine dress allows the wearer to quickly change appearance to that of a vending machine - blending into the urban landscape. As a female designer, she had been contemplating how to make clothes that also protect women. Toshi Maeda reports. **** I can only say this.... Couldn't a criminal use the same tactic? And did I hear him correctly - that most Japanese just run when scared? And dang, I thought america was litered with ads and vending machines - .......

Somewhere along the line, some people with questionable ethics decided spreading the Gospel was a great way to get rich and live a lavish lifestyle. That kind of thing has been around for a long time, but never has it reached the levels we see now. Something's starting to happen, though, that we hope puts the skids to this kind of evangelistic fakery. Of course, until the people sending in the money quit doing so, this will continue. The U.S. Senate also has taken notice of these televangelists who beg for money in the name of God, saying it will bring the givers riches. The only people getting rich, though, are the hucksters separating good folks from their money. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has sent letters to several top tv-evangelists asking for financial doc­uments pertaining to their supposedly "non-profit" operations. According to The Tampa Tribune, televangelists such as Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, the Whites from Without Walls in Tampa and other...

New Immigrants From: "David LaBonte" My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the OC Register which, of course, was not printed. So, I decided to "print" it myself by sending it out on the Internet. Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register: Dear Editor: So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren't being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry. Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would eve...

Disclosure: New Orleans Went Under--An African American's Comments -- Carefully read the whole article. These comments an opinion are soly of Rev. Jesse L Peterson and not of "What you think does matter" or "eblogger and/or affiliates". ___________________________________________ By Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson Say a hurricane is about to destroy the city you live in. Two questions: What would you do? What would you do if you were black? Sadly, the two questions don't have the same answer. To the first: Most of us would take our families out of that city quickly to protect them from danger. Then, able-bodied men would return to help others in need, as wives and others cared for children, elderly, infirm and the like. For better or worse, Hurricane Katrina has told us the answer to the second question. If you're black and a hurricane is about to destroy your city, you'll probably wait for the government to save you. This was not always the case. Prior to ...

Here is a subject probably none of the candidates would touch. It amazes me that people leave their country to come to a better place and want to convert America into the place they left. I am proud of my heritage - but i am also proud of the country i live in and that provides me my precious freedoms we all enjoy - America.
