Just wonder if you all find this curious:
A girl I graduated from HS with died, and her obit was on-line today. I offered the following:
Never mind (it won'tload). I offered kind and respectful condolences. I really liked this person. Her funeral is in GA, and I just found out about it, so I won't be there tomorrow, but I digress.
Why in the hell won't the website (the funeral home's, her own, and my e-mail) accept my condolences? Is it that liberals aren't allowed to mourn?
I'm really fucking curious.

I started reading them a few years back when a reviewer (can't remember which one) said he was having a hard time finding something to read, and picked up his son's Harry Potter in desperation and loved it.

scientology. need i say more.
Armistead Maupin is the openly gay author of the 'Tales of the City' series of books and appeared at a book signing at the Bloomsbury in London last night.
During the Q&A from the audience, this little nugget arose...
Audience Member: "Do you get angry about the closeted gay actors in Hollywood?"
Maupin: "...of course the Church of Scientology comes in very handy. (huge laugh from audience) It's the biggest ex gay movement in America. They catch you when you're young and confused, tell you they'll look after you, even provide you with a wife and child... Then of course you have to do what they call an audit, where you confess everything you've ever done into a tape recorder, so they've got the tapes. So once you're famous and successful you have to go along with all their nonsense about people falling into volcanoes... (pause)... then you play a woman in a movie musical, a part created by a drag queen and written by a gay man..."
Unfortunately the rest of the speech was drowned out by the sound of cheering and
laughing.
Good on you son!

The three bodies were pulled from the water overnight where the bulk log carrier Hai Tong No. 7 went down Tuesday, 375 miles northwest of Guam, officials said Friday.
The number of survivors among the 22-member crew rose to 13, with eight receiving medical attention in the U.S. territory about 3,700 miles southwest of Hawaii.
The Coast Guard cutter Sequoia arrived on scene Friday to coordinate operations as the air and sea search continued for the remaining six crew missing members. About 100 square miles had been searched.

Today marked the 12-1/2 birthday of my granddaughter, who was born 1/13/95 - on a Fri the 13th. Her condition today took a severe downward turn, and hospice does not expect her to live beyond this coming Monday. We are on a 24-hour vigil, so she is not alone, ever. Mr Deere and I were there til about a half hour ago, and will return as soon as we can tomorrow. Think kind thoughts of her, send her peace.
It is tough. I love her so much, we all do. That she is surrounded by much love and has a wonderful hosice nurse is comforting to us all.
Love to you all, thank you for caring and for your unfailing support. You can't know how much it means.

China Claims U.S. Meat Imports Tainted
BEIJING (AP) - China has suspended imports from several major U.S. meat processors, the latest indication the government may be retaliating as its products are turned back from overseas because of safety concerns.
Frozen poultry products from Tyson Foods Inc. (TSN), the world's largest meat processor, were found to be contaminated with salmonella, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said on its Web site Friday.
The agency said other imports barred by China included frozen chicken feet from Sanderson Farms, Inc. found to tainted with residue of an anti-parasite drug, as well as frozen pork ribs from Cargill Meat Solutions Corp. containing a leanness-enhancing feed additive.

Sometimes I love these astronomical/physics articles where they discuss things as magic as any in a fantasy story.
"Is dark energy lurking in hidden spatial dimensions?
"The mysterious cosmic presence called dark energy, which is accelerating the expansion of the universe, might be lurking in hidden dimensions of space. The idea would explain how these dimensions remain stable – a big problem for the unified scheme of physics called string theory.
Ever since astronomers discovered in the mid-1990s that other galaxies are accelerating away from us, physicists have struggled to explain why. Their favourite suggestion is quantum vibrations in the vacuum of space (called vacuum energy or the cosmological constant) that could produce repulsive gravity.
According to the calculations, however, these vibrations should either possess a ridiculously high energy density – 122 orders of magnitude larger than are observed – or cancel out to exactly zero. To make them almost-but-not-quite cancel, in agreement with astronomical observations, means fudging the quantum field equations.
Unless, that is, the quantum vibrations are stuck in a small space..." http://space.newscientist.com/
