Life Stories: November 2004 Archives
I need to eat more fruits and vegetables, but I only go to the grocery store once a month. What should I do? Plus, I eat out too often. I like frozen veggies, but most fruits need to be bought fresh. Is there a way I can get a weekly delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables that I can tailor to my tastes but not have to think about too often?
Yes, I'm lazy. I want a subscription food service that bills me monthly and doesn't take any effort.
I'm super annoyed. When I get home from work I want to go inside and relax, I don't want to collect hundreds of papers from my front porch advertising products I could easily find for myself if I had any desire for them. If I want to buy a house, sell a house, install new windows, paint my house, order pizza, order chinese food, or vote for something I certainly don't need a door flyer to empower me. Normally I just leave the crap there and throw it away the next morning when I leave for work. I don't even like checking my mail when I get home, and most of that's crap too.
So when I got home tonight it was all dark (thanks a lot, winter) and my porch was littered with the typical garbage. I waded through it to my door and tried to stick the key in, but I couldn't. What the heck? Someone had the nerve to tape their ad to my door knob over the keyhole. I'm not even joking. Words cannot describe my irritation. Apparently some company is coming around painting address numbers on the curbs and they want me to pay them for it. Oh yeah? Well screw off.
Now that the election is over we can get to the real news of the day... Halloween 2004!
I've been out of the news loop for the past few days while working on my Halloween haunted house, and a few days feels like an eternity. I'll be posting pictures of the haunted house this evening, but meanwhile I'm trying to catch up. Anyone have any good links I should be sure to check out?
It seems significant (and insulting) that OBL would attempt to claim any portion of the American electorate as his own.
The statement in question is when bin Laden said on the tape: "Your security is up to you, and any state that does not toy with our security automatically guarantees its own security."As misguided as may be any person who votes for John Kerry, I won't consider them to be "at peace" with Osama Bin Laden absent further evidence.That sentence followed a lengthy passage in the video in which bin Laden launches personal attacks on the president.
Yigal Carmon, president of MEMRI, said bin Laden used the Arabic term "ay-wilaya" to refer to a "state" in that sentence. ...
"It means that any U.S. state that will choose to vote for the white thug Bush as president, it means that it chose to fight us and we will consider it an enemy to us, and any state that will vote against Bush, it means that it chose to make peace with us and we will not characterize it as an enemy," the Web site said, according to MEMRI's translation.
