Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

[studentmom]

Wow, that thread is already at ten pages? When I left it was at three. They must be really bored.

I'm over on that Sarah-bashing thread. Honestly, when anything that I'm involved with wins (sports, politics, etc.) as soon as the contest is done, I am done with the other side. I'm just loving being the winner. The opponent goes off the radar for a time. I seriously don't get their obsession. Now, how crazy is it that our guy lost, and WE have to tell THEM "Quit living in the past-move on!"?!?!?!?!?!

Word. I totally agree.

It's just not worth it to me to have all the angst and frustration over on the other thread. Let them go ahead and bash Gov. Palin. I don't really care what they think. Their minds are already set, so anything anyone else says isn't going to change that. Why bother?

I don't like Obama's stands on the issues. That is why I didn't vote for him.

I'd rather hang out here with you guys, and also get off the computer and do stuff with my family and other fun things.

Besides, knowing members of the family here, those Palin family bashing threads just really get to me. I just have to stay 100% away. I feel like they are attacking friends of mine...because they are.

Well, I finally changed my Dis background to the Christmas one . I was kinda thinking the webmasters would automatically change it over as in years past, but they didn't.

Well I see the thread just got locked. WMAlex summed it up nicely. I usually feel compelled to go read locked threads, but I think that I'll pass on this one. Besides, I'm sure they're plotting their next one.

it always felt like it actually scrubbed my skin off. i guess that'd be clean.

i read that you must wash your hands twice, with the hottest water you can stand. each time, you aren't finished until you have sung "happy birthday" all the way through.

so yes, i'm the idiot burning her hands at the sink while singing happy birthday.

Hey guys, it's getting time to start discussing our next thread title.

I went Edit Options and then go to the very last option-I think it's called Forum Skin. They have a couple of Christmas options. I just picked the first one.

I would like a request to make it Christmas themed. I know we're not all Christian here, but it is one week before Christmas!

I still think we need the batsignal in the title, but I'm easy. I don't care what it says as long as we have a thread.

I have that on my Facebook.

New thread title? Hmmm.... I have no idea. Let me think.

Just finished reading the Palin locked thread. I'm glad I had no comcast connection this afternoon!

I just read the rest of it, too. I won't say what my first thought was, but, sheeeesh. Must. not. say. what. I. really. think. I've never gotten points, so I hope to remain a point virgin, too .

I'm surprised I didn't get any, not that I think I really said anything point-worthy in the thread.... but who knows. I just kept waiting for the PM to pop up saying I was in trouble.

Hey Soarin, just had to say I like your avatar! Of course I like anything that is Glenn Beckish.

I had to tell you that we took my In-laws to see the encore showing of The Christmas Sweater last night. My MIL has some emotional problems related to family Christmases past and we thought it would help her to see it. Actually I fell that we were meant to take them because we had some things happen that pointed us in that direction.

I ordered a signed copy of the book, but got two extra copies two weeks later. When I called the company they had no record of them being sent and told us to keep them. We gave them to two people that were having some problems in their life right now and they told us how reading it helped them. Then when we went to the live show, the only empty seats in the theater were the two directly in front of us. It turns out that both my wife and I came to the same conclusion that we were supposed to take her Mom and Dad to the movie showing.

We were so glad that we did as my MIL actually cried and afterward hugged my wife and told her that she was her joy! This is from a lovely woman who turns into the Grinch at Christmas time every year. I even joked during the film "that her heart grew three sizes that day". I have never seen her open up like she did. I think it really helped her deal with some of the baggage she has been carrying. She now loves Glenn! Of course I don't dare tell her that Glenn is a Conservative!

Maybe I just was reading too much into it, but it sure seemed like God wanted us to help her, and knowing that we couldn't do it alone, we could help her through Glenn.
