We do,thinking this one may be on its last legs. Getting a bit older now.
I am *SO* over this bullsh*t with ISIS and beheadings and Sunni v. Shi'ite v. Sufi v. western infidels. I want to nuke the entire region to hell and back and start over, but I don't want civilians harmed and I don't want a war and I don't want anyone's boots on the ground. I am torntorntorn between righteous indignation and outrage, and remaining peaceable and serene, placid and stoic.
I just want this horror to be over and to live my life without another extremist religious-based coup or invasion anywhere in the world. I want humans to start treating each other as humans and not as enemies, as dictated by religious zealots.

Something I'm struggling with a bit and not understanding why NOW we are upset about beheadings -- What about Daniel Pearl? He was beheaded in 2002. Where was the outrage then? Where was the call to action then?
Daniel Pearl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'll never forget Daniel Pearl and the despicable cowards who murdered him. I ask myself the same questions as you, Dana Jean.
I haven't forgotten about Daniel Pearl. I'm just too angry right now to cite his awful end.
I wasn't directing that at you Lily, but to the world who is all up in arms about these beheadings, now.

You know... maybe, just maybe if another species (from somewhere 'out there') came along and decided to f'k us up, I'll just bet the human race would (finally!) manage to get its sh1t together and work as a fricken team. One love.
Hey kingricefan you'll appreciate this! I was at the Dollar Tree the other day and while the cashier was ringing up my stuff, I took my basket (and all the other ones left behind at the checkout) and put them away in their place at the front door. The cashier says, "You've worked retail. " I asked, "Is it that obvious? " She said, "Yes." 
At my local Fred Meyers, as I walk into the building, I will round up carts in my path and take them in with me. It drives me up a wall to watch people walk by carts in the lot or on the sidwalk (not the ones in the cart corrals) but the loose ones, anyway, they walk right by them and walk in the store and grab a cart. Really? You just walked by 10 carts you could've done a random act of kindness and brought in and used.Hey kingricefan you'll appreciate this!

I try to do things like this whenever I can. At department stores, I hang up garments in dressing rooms others have piled on the floor. I know what it feels like to be the "employee" responsible for picking up after everyone else. But as you said, it's a random act of kindness. These types of small gestures could make a huge difference if more people joined in the movement!

I pick stuff up off the floor and put it back where it belongs, too. Maybe I need to get a retail job when I retire so I can work part time. I was thinking Shopper's Drug Mart would be a great choice (love getting a discount!)I try to do things like this whenever I can.

I think it is crazy when I find a cold food product in the cereal aisle. Everyone can use a little exercise, just go put it back in the cooler.
If Northern Lights are seen in the Northern hemisphere as lights in the sky, would Southern lights, if seen in the Southern Hemisphere, be seen as lights emitting from the ground??
I'm just dreading the 3 year old that was snatched by ISIS to be next.
3 year old? If the kid was female then she's probably a bride by now.
Remember how the 50's were all about secret communists infiltrators and they came out with Invasion of the Body Snatchers? I think todays emphasis on zombies is really about extremist Islam. They are remorseless, unrelenting, unreachable, unreasoning, destroyers of civilization and they absolutly will not quit until everyone is just like them. Also they can both be cured only by the same process.
See? I was nice. I never mentioned how much they smell the same.

Are people getting tired of me doing the birthday threads??
No way... I'm happy that you are. (& thank you...)
Oh hell no. From experience, I can say that is really lovely having a thread dedicated to your birthday.
