No Room at the Inn
Whoopie Goldberg told this story on "The View" a couple of years ago and it just made me go ferclempt.
Seems there was a young gentlemen with Down's Syndrom who attended church regularly with his family. Christmas was coming up and with it their annual Christmas Play wherein the children re-enact Joseph and Mary searching for a place to rest. Everyone was cast, including this young man who was to play the part of the innkeeper. He had one line: "There's no room at the inn." They rehearsed him and rehearsed him until everyone felt he was ready to play his big role. It got to the part in the play in which he is to speak his line and, sure enough, he says, on cue, "There's no room at the inn" and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At that point, "Mary" and "Joseph" began walking away across the stage when the same young man says, "But you can stay at my house!" At which point the reverend said, "Amen."

Ation Alert: Tell President Obama to Veto the Monsanto Protection Act
We regret to inform you, but late last week Congress succeeded in passing Section 735, aka the Monsanto Protection Act, in the Continuing Resolution spending bill - HR 933. Once again, Monsanto and the biotech industry have used their lobbying power to undermine your basic rights.
We need you to sign a petition to President Obama and tell him to veto HR 933 and the Monsanto Protection Act. With the Senate passage of the Monsanto Protection Act, biotech lobbyists are one step closer to making sure that their new GMO crops can evade any serious scientific or regulatory review.
This dangerous provision, the Monsanto Protection Act, strips judges of their constitutional mandate to protect consumer and farmer rights and the environment, while opening up the floodgates for the planting of new untested genetically engineered crops, endangering farmers, citizens and the environment.
We are asking that you sign the petition here and then call President Obama and demand that he veto HR 933. Join us in putting a stop to the Monsanto Protection Act!

Jimmy Smits returning to "Sons of Anarchy"
Earlier this week, it was announced two stars are heading back to FX's Sons of Anarchy next season after turning in two memorable performances and creator Kurt Sutter is working on a new show for the network.
According to Deadline, Jimmy Smits will reprise his role as Neron "Nero" Padilla, a former gangbanger who gets pulled back into the life thanks to his partnership with main character Jax (Charlie Hunnam). In a separate report, Donal Logue will return as former U.S. Marshall Lee Toric.

There was some doubt as to whether or not he would return. I'm so glad they were able to work something out. The Nero character was absolutely compelling last season.
Whatever happened to Peace Patriot?
She used to post in the CA Group all the time and I've not seen her in awhile. Her last journal entry was November 27, 2011.
Action Alert: Stop the Monsanto Protection Act
I just got a notice from the www.fooddemocracynow.org organization and wanted to give everyone a head up. Monsanto is trying to sneak this into the Continuing Resolution Bills being debated now. Please consider writing your Congresscritter TODAY (see link below -- the vote is expected Friday) and let them know you are paying attention and that you care about Monsanto taking over our seed supply, thereby controlling our ability to grow frankenfood-free food.
Here's the communication:
Stop the Monsanto Protection Act!
Once again, Monsanto and the biotech industry are working behind closed doors to undermine your basic rights. This time they’ve gone too far! As your Senators debate the Continuing Resolution spending bill, biotech lobbyists have desperately snuck provisions into the spending bill to make sure their new GMO crops can evade any serious scientific or regulatory review.
In the past, legal advocates have successfully won in court the right to halt the sale and planting of unapproved GMO crops while the approval of those crops is under review by a federal judge. This dangerous new House provision, which we're calling the Monsanto Protection Act, would strip judges of their constitutional mandate to protect consumer rights and the environment, while opening up the floodgates for the planting of new untested genetically engineered crops, endangering farmers, consumers and the environment.
Join us in putting a stop to the Monsanto Protection Act!

Out-of-the-box iPhone4 for $1.00
Since the iPhone5 is out now, A.T.& T. is selling the "old" iPhone4's for $1.00. The Espoused One and I went to get HIM a Smart Phone (a MUST for his work) and I happened to ask the sales clerk if there were any deals to be had on a new smart phone for me. That's when he told me about the iPhone4 for $1.00. I bought it and it works great! Anyway, for those looking to upgrade cheaply this might be possibility.
If you PM someone who has you on Ignore
are you, as the sender, notified or are you just left to guess? Just curious.
