Is anyone else on here snowed in due to the recent storm? I live on the east coast in the U.S. and we just had about 8 or 10 inches of snow dropped on us last night and this morning. Do you like snow? I positively cannot stand it....

Neo-Nazi Conference in My City Today

cblackink @cblackink (969) • United States 29 Aug 09

I am just flabbergasted, astonished. Yes, right here in my little city, and it's happened before, several years ago. That ended tragically when the KKK decided to arrive on the scene. There were shootings and some people were...

Why Are Some People Terrified Of Cats?

cblackink @cblackink (969) • United States 25 Oct 08

Does anyone understand the fear some people have of cats? I guess, being an avid cat lover, I just don't get it. Maybe someone could enlighten me on that.

Something To Think About

cblackink @cblackink (969) • United States 21 May 08

I thought about this yesterday. Between the two disasters that have recently occurred in Myanmar and China, close to two hundred thousand people have died (and it may exceed that after all body counts). That is just devastating....

Wars Over Water

cblackink @cblackink (969) • United States 4 Apr 08

I really believe this is coming, because the amount of clean, drinkable water on the planet seems to be diminishing. Historically, most villages and cities have sprung up near water sources. Water is the one thing that we can't...

cblackink @cblackink (969) • United States 14 Jan 08

OK, I feel like a downright klutz now. Don't ask how this happened, just trying to repair something. Normally, I'm much more careful with Super Glue. Long story short, it's on my left palm and thumb, my left nail on my forefinger...

People Who Are Dead Weight

Most of us have encountered people we love and try to help, but in the end are beyond helping. They just seem to be a constant drag on our time, energy, and resources. They don't really seem to want to change their circumstances...
