McCain Age is it a factor?

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 22 Sep 08

I just received an email form a friend who asked if it was fair to consider Senator McCain's age when we do not consider that Senator Obama is a smoker and both his parents died at an early age, making him more likely to die at an...

kyellis Hi Bob, Are you sure Obama smokes? I had read that he is really health conscious and won't eat anything fried. Anyway, I feel the same way as you. It is pretty scary, but especailly so with Biden and McCain as they are really getting up their in years....

kyellis Wow, I love English muffins, but didn't ever think about them with these ingredients. I saw a recipe for them a while back, but never got around to trying to make them - they didn't look too hard. Now that I see the kind that you are making, I'm thinking...

kyellis It's a very sweet poem. However, what if we have more than one life. Many religions believe this and I have for most of my life. It never made sense to me that God only gave us one chance to be "good" - that's what I was taught in Catholic church. So you...

Have You Ever Though About This.....

punkin1803 @punkin1803 (526) • United States 17 Sep 08

kyellis Probably the first thing I do in the morning is go to the bathroom, but that is probably pretty common. The thing I do before going to sleep is tell myself, "I love myself" over and over. Most of what we cannot accomplish in life is because we can't forgive...

kyellis I believe you have to walk 10,000 steps a day to lose any weight. Once you start counting your steps you realize how much walking this really entails. I am thinking of getting a pedometer that you attach to your pants that tells you how many steps you've...

kyellis Hi Mnflower, Yes, I agree the world just keeps getting scarier. I don't think China has cared about people for a very, very long time. Any comunist country generally sees their citizens as well as other individuals are like ants that are only to be used,...

kyellis Yes, it does scare the crap out of me, especially because Bush also says that our economy is strong. These two guys are in outerspace someplace. They haven't a clue about real life with the rest of us down here on earth. McCain says he's for change. Now he has...

kyellis "The Sound of Music"I know it's old, but some of the best movies are the older ones where they really have to tell the story and not rely on s'x and violence to interest their audience. I learned all of the songs in school when I was very young, so that also...
