I can see that you disapprove. I offer you NO apology. I find that once in a great while it does both the mind and spirit good to get away from anger, ugly name calling, and disagreeable conversations. If this is not to your liking, press on. You do not need to read or respond to postings that you find contemptible and beneath your intellect.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Or is that unworthy also?

Your game is still good....I don't smell anything YET! :lol: :lol:

Have you heard of GRACE? It is a satellite in orbit that measures many things such as ice caps, ground water, and atmosphere. Here is a link to the ground water. I found it interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu4cBM4m5gU
And this is a link to the home page. http://www.csr.utexas.edu/grace/gallery/animations/

:thumbup: :thumbup: Grandfathers are expected to play with the kids, mind games..... things that will cause them to react appropriately. The tad of ice cream, that is funny and I am sure they love the game! :lol:

First, welcome to OPP. Second, thank you for your service.

Regards to 911, I was at the Pentagon in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was not our government. There are many things that the public has not been made privy. I wish you well on your book.

You know that there is a difference; a fib is a childish lie that is not intended to cause grave harm. My son, who loves to tell stories, embellish his. Yes, technically a fib/lie, but his stories are intended to entertain and not cause harm.

I believe in calling things as they are. If a person is guilty of telling falsehoods then they lie. It is simple black and white; not a gray area, but simple did the person tell a lie? Yes....then the shoe fits! This is a far cry from judging an individual's heart as being full of h**e.....

I can not believe this, I just deleted three paragraphs because it was ranting!

Thanks, I am guilty of that one too!!! And then there is to and too.

I read the exchange and if you consider that as a tirade then you are indeed a sensitive woman, it was gentle but firm; your meaning was not distorted with name calling or profanity. I saw nothing wrong with your comments. However, the response to you was crude and erratum; simply broodiest. I responded to that individual my thoughts on his passing his anger of me off onto others and particular a lady of your dignity.

AuntiE, I am not sure about your comment. I replied to RetCWONavy or wh**ever their name is. You are always a lady and I have no criticism of you or any of your postings. Unless you are a double ganger and RetCWONavy is your alter, which I sincerely doubt. Please go back a page, right after a brief dialogue with Stattler49, she/he made a very uncalled for remark. I took offence. You may want to view the remarks that I posted to the attack on you. I think that I made it clear that you are a woman of quality.

Army War College considering confederate generals as enemies of the United States. Will history be rewritten to remove all accomplishments, generals, and gentle people of the south leaving only s***ery as a part of history?

I had an occasion to go back through my own posts and realized that the Grammar Police has gone easy on me. First, thank you! Now then, because I have made so many mistakes, I made a list of my most common errors. Please feel free to add to this list, I will not be offended. Or if you want to add mistakes you have noted in either yours or another poster; no names please, just add the mistake.

All Hail the Grammar Police!
1.Affect vs. effect. The easiest way to remember the difference between the two is affect means “to influence.” So if you’re going to influence something, you will have an affect. If it’s the result of something, it’s an effect.
2.The Oxford comma. In a series of three or more terms, you should use what’s referred to as the Oxford comma. This means you should have a comma before the word “and” in a list. For instance: The American f**g is red, white, and blue. Many people debate this, but I’m a believer in it because there are times when you don’t have the extra comma and the sentence doesn’t make sense. I prefer to err on the side of having the Oxford in there.
3.Commas, in general. And speaking of commas, slow down when you’re writing and read your copy out loud. You don’t want to make this mistake: Let’s eat grandma vs. let’s eat, grandma. Poor grandma will be eaten if you forget the comma.
4.Their, they’re, and there. You’d think everyone learned this rule in fourth grade, but it’s a very common mistake. Use “there” when referring to a location, “their” to indication possession, and “they’re” when you mean to say “they are.”
5.Care less. The dismissive “I could care less” you hear all the time is incorrect. If you could care less, that means there is more you could care less about the topic. Most people omit the “not” in that phrase. It should be, “I couldn’t care less.”
6.Irregardless. This word doesn’t exist. It should be regardless.
7.Nauseous. How many times have you said you felt nauseous? This is incorrect. You feel nauseated. Nauseous means something is sickening to contemplate.
8.Your and you’re. Another mistake you see in people’s social media profiles and in the content they create is not correctly using “your” and “you’re.” If you’re meaning to say “you are,” the correct word is “you’re” (like at the beginning of this sentence). Otherwise the word is “your.”
9.Fewer vs. less. Another common mistake, “less” refers to quantity and “fewer” to a number. For instance, Facebook has fewer than 5,000 employees.
10.Quotation marks. Among great debate, people ask all the time whether or not punctuation belongs inside or outside quotation marks. It belongs inside.
11.More than vs. over. I’m pretty sure the advertising agency created this grammatical error. Instead of saying, “We had more than 50 percent growth” in ad copy, “over” allows for more space. So they say, “We had over 50 percent growth.” Drives. Me. Crazy.
12.Me vs. I. I was reading something by a big muckety muck the other day and the copy read, “This year has brought a big personal development for my wife and I…” No, no, no! If you were going to say that without the mention of your wife, you wouldn’t say, “This year has brought a big personal development for I.” You would say “me.” So this year has brought a big personal development for my wife and me.

Yes, but it just may backfire on both parties. Americans are unique in that they side with the under dog. I am not sure about the younger generation, but the middle aged and older folks do not like bulling or bad talking a person or group that is perceived as trying to do the right thing. And regardless of your party, the Tea Party has been single scoped in that they are looking at America as a nation and not as a race or religion. I think all the posturing by Republicans and Democrats will come back to haunt them.

Just as I thought, you have no reply because you have confused me with someone else and you are not WOMAN/MAN enough to admit you made a mistake. Don't worry, I forgive you because everyone makes mistakes. I do hope that in the future you will be somewhat more careful about your remarks and insulting remarks.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! :!: :!: :!:

I too wonder. If this is Ohio, then what happened in the other states? Could v***r f***d be so widespread that Obama was the only outcome for president?
