Effie went to Target a couple of months back and passed a lady with a child. Child says, "is that a cracker?" The mother said yes. WTF?
And no, they were not in the triscuit section.

Hi @Eban wondering why you are following http://friendfeed.com/gailhel... Just found her but can't find anything gravitating and maybe I just misunderstand.
- Roger Kondrat
To be honest, it was probably just a reciprocal follow. I don't recall actually following her. I used to reciprocate quite a bit, but have been more choosy lately.
- Eban Crawford
This is why I was asking - http://www.gailhelmer.com/worksho... She is going to shit in my back yard and I am worried it will smell. Fingers crossed that is not the case, but I have researched her today and I am not confident. Its why I tracked down some of her followers to see what they had to say. Thanks for replying by the way.

Another Faith Healing Death (let's just call it "faith-based murder" and be done) - http://friendlyatheist.com/2009...
Penguin, Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life) and Anika liked this
"17-year-old Zachery Swezey died of a ruptured appendix a few months ago… his body got warmer, he began vomiting, and he suffered from severe diarrhea. What did his parents do about all this? During those three days, aunts, uncles and grandparents came to his bedside to pray. On March 17, his father did not call a doctor or an ambulance. Instead, he called elders from their church. They came to the house and anointed Zakk with olive oil, and prayed for him as Zakk’s family waited outside in the hall. Members of the Church of the First Born, the Swezeys believe in faith healing. At midday on March 18, Zakk told his mother he loved her, and asked for his father to come to his bedside. Shortly before 1 p.m, his breathing slowed. His hands got cold and turned a bluish color. With both of his parents at his bedside, Zakk Swezey died."

No, just a fraction of America is. It was an inevitable part of the American experiment, if you think about it. Allow groups to naturally form sub-cultures in distinct geographical regions. Those who are uncomfortable with traditional ideas move to progressive regions while those uncomfortable with progressive ideas move to conservative regions. Then, with each generation, those values...

I know someone who had their appendix rupture while on a cruise and almost died. That is no way to go. My friend, she seriously suffered. Luckily, she did get to a hospital in time. I will never understand how people can just let someone suffer and die like this. Faith healing has less to do with faith than it does with insanity.
- Eban Crawford
Faith: believing something despite lack of evidence and contrary evidence that is old, believed by many, and traditional. Delusional: believing something despite lack of evidence and contrary evidence that is not old, believed by many, or traditional.

Sometimes the universe is self balancing: yesterday coming back from the truck stop we see a car crawl all over someone's rear bumper in the fast lane. They cut over 2 lanes of traffic and then speed past the car they were tailgating. That car, however, just happened to be an unmarked trooper. Blinky lights ensued.

Whenever someone is tailgating us, I always wish something like this would happen to them. That must have been fun to watch.
- Eban Crawford
Dave and I laughed way more than appropriate =D The best part is that the car made the worst pull over I've ever seen: instead of pulling straight into the emergency lane on the right he careened through it at at 30 degree angle or so, winding up with three wheels in the grassy area off the road. There's a chance he might have had to get a tow to get it out....

Eleventh Circuit: Repeatedly Tasering a Sobbing Man Sitting By the Road is Constitutional | JONATHAN TURLEY - http://jonathanturley.org/2009...

this is sad... kind of makes me want to go sit on the side of the road and cry, but after watching this i think i'll just go home and curl up in the fetal position
- Chris Heath
At first I thought I was being silly thinking like this, but who the hell got the bright idea to give tasers to cops? With guns, they know the repercussions of shooting. Not so with this, "non-lethal" torture device. Add to this the pregnant lady in Vermont, I think, that was hit in her backyard during a baptism party along with her elderly grandfather, and the 76 year old man driving a...

@Chris - I felt the same way. (Also: save yourself now and don't watch the Deacon Wiliams video in my feed) ... what a story.. and there are so many. I've been doing some research today on Taser and "less lethal" force. I'm really sick over it. No words. How did we get here?

Thanks Anthony. Yeah, this is pretty sad. The cop should have called an ambulance and Baker acted the guy. He's clearly in severe mental duress.

thanks for the heads up anthony

sure Chris - I expand a bit more on *why* on the Deacon Williams thread. it's stomach-turning to be sure. well, actually - no, it's not stomach-turning - it's soul-turning. :-/ @WoH: totally agree with you.

Peggy Noonan: ‘You Are Terrifying Us’ - WSJ.com - http://online.wsj.com/article...
"The passions of the protesters, on the other hand, are not a surprise. They hired a man to represent them in Washington. They give him a big office, a huge staff and the power to tell people what to do. They give him a car and a driver, sometimes a security detail, and a special pin showing he’s a congressman. And all they ask in return is that he see to their interests and not terrify them too much. Really, that’s all people ask. Expectations are very low. What the protesters are saying is, “You are terrifying us.”"

I need to write a blog post. Complaining about AT&T's inadequacies as a company is hard at 140 characters. Too many damned flaws.
"ATT = teh suks (plus it's the original monopoly)." Finally, something I can get to under 140 chars!
- FFing Enigma
You actually summed up everything I have to say in one phrase. Tina = win!
- Eban Crawford
LOL! My very first blog post on a site since deleted was a rant about AT&T when the iPhone first came out, specifically about how odd it was for Apple (the "innovation and not a monopoly" company when compared to MS) to team up with the original monopoly. Made me lose some respect for the fanbois who trot out the "Apple's not a monopoly" line but still ponied up for their iPhone.
- FFing Enigma
Finally got someone to help with the problem. Turns out I am not signed up for a 2 year agreement that I did not agree to. They sent out an auto respond email that is out of date. They no longer even offer 2 year agreements on DSL. That is a fail, sending out an email that is no longer valid that ruins my Saturday and takes hours to straighten out. Nice job AT&T.

Our 5th anniversary is next year & we're halfway considering a vow renewal and party for a pretty selfish reason: we didn't have a wedding and as a result got shafted out of wedding presents </kinda greedy> OTOH I didn't want a wedding because I didn't want the headaches that come with one; can't help but think a renewal would be full of 'em too.

Vegas won't give us presents, Johnny, she's just a little puppy dog! ;-) Plus we're going next month, not to mention none of our family would go with us.
- FFing Enigma
Your Right. I got Married in Vegas and it didn't give me any presents.
- Brent - Yes I am
We got a ton of stuff at our wedding. If you can swing a second chance at it, I would recommend it.
- Alex Scrivener
Me an my wife renew our wedding every year - keeps the marriage nice and flexible without having to deal with the rules we started out with 16 years ago. Good choice on your part, well the prezzies are always fun - but this also gives you a chance to really take a look at your relationship and work out what's next.
- Dan owns Comicsforge.com
We also got a ton of stuff (including a dart board). and our 5 year is also next year (we however, will not be renewing - we'll be going to Vegas!)
- Nathalie
Gee, what some people will do for a toaster. ;-) I say get it while the getting is good. Toast rules.
- Eban Crawford
Yup, that's the deal. You plan everything, hire the hall and the band, feed us, and we bring the presents!
- Edward Zwart
Knocking up = not an option. Wonder if we can register for a vasectomy? Honestly, that's about the only thing we could actually use now: we've got all the other "present-y" stuff. I think we may have missed our opportunity =(
- FFing Enigma
As I understand it presents are neither required nor should be expected at a vow renewal ceremony. You might find most people don't show up with gifts, Tina.
- Soup in a TARDIS
It's more the two of us joking around more than anything, Soup. Several of our family members were displeased with how we chose to marry and the lack of gifts felt like a 'punishment' of sorts for not having an actual wedding. We were tossing around the idea of a vow renewal to try and appease those family members but realize that we'll have all the headaches of an actual wedding but none of the "payoff" so to speak.
- FFing Enigma
Your family registered displeasure with how you chose to marry? WTH? How rude of them. I'm sorry they did that - they should have just been happy for you.
- Soup in a TARDIS
It's because we got married without telling anyone or having a ceremony, essentially we eloped without leaving town. I was leaving the country for a month for work and we realized he'd have no rights to visit me in a hospital if something happened: we'd talked about getting married at length already so it just seemed like the right thing to do. Apparently everyone else felt like they missed out, though...

I just did some online window shopping, piling everything I could want from this site into my shopping cart. I will now proceed to pare everything down as much as possible, and then I'll just stare at the cart and talk myself into NOT checking out. Please confirm that I'm not the only crazy person who does this.

I do find that if I force myself to not checkout online immediately, I start to develop spending guilt and usually don't make purchases. I save a lot of money that way.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the world, desperate site admins pour over their logs trying to determine what, exactly, they are doing wrong which causes people to abandon such large and profitable orders...

I do that, too. It's also how I shop offline, especially at Target.

I often do online shopping that way. Especially if I have a coupon or there is a sale.

http://www.emarketer.com/Article...: "According to an e-tailing group survey, nearly 60% of US online retailers survey are seeing cart abandonment rates of over 20% this year. A study by PayPal and comScore found 45% of US online shoppers had abandoned shopping carts multiple times in just three weeks. Most importantly from the merchants’ point of view, the average cost of abandoned goods in those shopping carts was $109."

Yep, do this all the time. Do it regular-shopping, too, if I have a shopping cart. Drives Shawn nuts, but it gives me time to decide what I really want.
