Another tip for newbies,wanting exercise
| Tue, 08-31-2004 - 6:03pm |
Today is Primary Election Day and the polls are open 7-7 in Florida. If it's election day in your state, get out there and vote. Take a walk to the polls (it's good physical exercise) and perform that other "exercise" of your right to vote as you best see fit. Our polling places, some of them anyway, also have an area where people can *elect* to give blood afterwards. Now I can't promise that it uses up massive amounts of calories, will cause any weight loss, but it sure will make you feel good (and it will help someone else) if you can see your way clear to do both: vote AND give blood. A two-fer! What a deal.

(no offense everyone - just humor)
LOL, I enjoyed that too! I have some more humor to share too. Sorry Bush supporters! I couldn't resist either!
Letterman Top Ten
Letterman's Top Ten List: Top Ten George W. Bush Complaints About "Fahrenheit 9/11":
10. That actor who played the President was totally unconvincing
9. It oversimplified the way I stole the election
8. Too many of them fancy college-boy words
7. If Michael Moore had waited a few months, he could have included the part where I get him deported
6. Didn't have one of them hilarious monkeys who smoke cigarettes and gives people the finger
5. Of all Michael Moore's accusations, only 97% are true
4. Not sure - - I passed out after a piece of popcorn lodged in my windpipe
3. Where the hell was Spider-man?
2. Couldn't hear most of the movie over Cheney's foul mouth
1. I thought this was supposed to be about dodgeball

If Hurricane Frances makes landfall in Florida (and all the models show it will) it would be the worst double strike hurricane on a state in at least a century.
So you respond, in advance of that hurricane, by taking this opportunity to attack the state of Florida and all Floridians.
I started the thread, to suggest posters take an opportunity to walk to their polls to vote in Primaries (of whatever state, for whatever candidates and issues). Exercising one's right to vote, after all, burns calories (this is a 100 lbs board), and it's important to fulfill civic duty. As another civic duty (or opportunity), I also said that in Florida (and likely your states too) there was an emergency blood drive taking place at the polls yesterday. I suggested this would be a good way to **help** people who could really need blood right now, or who would need it in the next few days(and yes, that includes Florida victims of the coming hurricane Frances, and the past hurricane Charlie, as well as tropical storm hermine, etc which devastated W. VA a couple days ago).
I hope there **really and truly IS ** a God, and that ** each of you** posting these slams at Florida get to explain that to Him. That brand of meanness doesn't start overnight, and as Lucy Ricardo (a good comedian) use to say...." you got some 'spla'nin to do."
And I hope the newbies reading our board did have a chance to get out there and vote, and maybe give blood too, yesterday. Both are important exercise, and part of being good Americans.
In the meantime, as we await the inevitable, FLORIDA LOCALS, please STAY SAFE. My prayers and positive thoughts are with my fellow ***FLORIDIANS*** who live here in Florida right now.

So scold and point fingers all you want Forte. You are NO better. And go ahead, bring up the post where I said "Oh the weather drama!" and try to twist those words around once more. So to beat you off at the path, it was you and only you/your "friends" who thought I was making fun of the severity of Hurricane Charley.
I also notice: "In the meantime, as we await the inevitable, FLORIDA LOCALS, please STAY SAFE. My prayers and positive thoughts are with my fellow ***FLORIDIANS*** who live here in Florida right now."
Well I will be the bigger person and say...I hope that you and your fellow Floridians DO stay safe, that includes my parents.
