..ok do i want to take a nap? or go rent inception,case 39 or salt at redbox? what sounds better? im a bit tired, and going to red box would require me to get out of my lounging clothes and put real clothes on, and maybe even do my hair... orrrr i can just stay in my lounge wear and take a nap...


ok so this is what i thought i do, stay home in my sweatpants and tshirt(lounge wear) curl up with my big green comforter and watch "Antoment"..been dying to watch it, and i forgot that i came in the mail the other day from netflix.


hope everyone else is having a fab day!

Who is in Atonement?

 

[alaskagirlchrissie]

Honestly do you think people live there for the oil money? In your opinion how many move there for that versus the lax drug laws?

I know for a fact people do. Every man, woman and child gets a check every single year. They have been as low as $300 and as high as $2,500. This is money given to you for just being a resident of Alaska. A few years back we got over $3,000 a piece. Just for my family alone we got over $13,000. So yeah, people really do move here for it. But like i said, I wish they would just stay away, they are entitled to nothing.

What lax drug laws are you speaking of???

Who is in Atonement?

The possesion laws are really relaxed in AK. It's almost like an extension of BC in a sense. You can have way more marijuana on you than a single person would need to carry. So in other states you could be also accused of trafficing for holding the amount which is allowed in AK.

 

[Funball]

uhh omg,. oh yeah so my parents got home, i did not watch the rest of antoment, not yet at least, they want to watch it tonight so i turned it off at 3pm, started then to watch We were solders... umm i started it at 3pm, it's 6pm now. the movie just ended. i been on the couch for that long today....it was a good war movie, kinda intense, but i think i liked the hurt locker better..

Well, first off, you just can't carry it around with you. You can have i believe less than an ounce in your home for personal use. You cannot grow it, sell it or have any other form of drug in your possesion. We don't have bar's where you smoke it and such.

 

[Funball]

oh we don't have bars where you can smoke that stuff either....

 

[Funball]

ok..well going to eat dinner.. talk to u all later!

 

[TheColtonsMom]

umm i didn't have any cake to eat that make me smaller... , I had churro and that did not make me smaller

ohh speaking of eating. I had TPG last night for dinner, i had the veggie cheese burger with fries.. oh man, so good!!

Maybe you should try the mini churros at Mickey's surfs up?

 

[alaskagirlchrissie]

oh we don't have bars where you can smoke that stuff either....

Oh I know you don't in California. I was speaking about BC.

 

[Funball]

oooooooooohhh got it..you guys start talking politics and my brain starts to check out

 

[Funball]

if iam going to have churros coltonsmom, i am having the full size ones, those mini things aren't enough for me!

 

[alaskagirlchrissie]

oooooooooohhh got it..you guys start talking politics and my brain starts to check out

I know politics and such can be boring. But you really do need to learn your rights if you want to protect them. The way this country is headed is pretty scary. We are heading right into a Dictatorship. And that is bad.

 

[Funball]

I do know my rights, and yeah politics can be boring.....anyhow soo i watched a long movie today... very long movie

Was it Atonement? Is that the movie about the guy who gets accused of rape and goes to war and the girl finds him in a hospital?

 

[Funball]

yes... but its set in 1935. interesting movie

 

[Princess Row]

Honestly Democratic or Republican president in office our country is just as bad as it was during the great Depression. The amount of people out of work is insane! The gas prices and inflation are just absolutely ridiculous. Even the stock market isnt holding up well. I fear for our country for the future.

I thought the movie was not very good. I've seen it a couple times and wondered why it won academy awards. The plot was terribly simple.

What do you think about the new Health Care Reform Row??

 

[Princess Row]

Well at first the health care thing sounded okay but it seems as though things have gone from bad to worse. The people who actually need and deserve health care cant get it but the people who sit around all day flipping channels on the remote control can get anything they want.

For instance: My grandfather who is now retired and was in the military long ago worked all his life. Never had goverment help ect. Four years ago he had an aortic dissection (emergency), they later found a second one and had surgery which he then had a stroke and luckily only lost his vision. He who worked all his life and has serious medical conditions cannot get god health insurance. It makes me so frustrated. My mom pays a ton of money for health insurance and each time we go to the doctor she has to pay out of pocket. It all just doesnt make sense.
