Couches can be hazardous!:rolleyes: Watch out so your back doesn't give out from sleeping on one once too often!! (believe me, it does happen!) I'm working on my 4th draft to Senator Kohl; how to whisper into Barack Obama's ear, and get him to balance his advisers, lest we wind up in more global entanglements...

Can anyone tell me what happened to my Aunt Violet's bell?:laugh3:

Greetings from a fellow midwesterner!:cowboy: Glad you could join in!!

Well, I like the changes in their music actually just as well! Their style has changed a bit, but variety is the spice of life, and there's always AROBTTH to turn to, if that's what one desires. Would the Beatles been as desirable, had they stuck to "She Loves You, Yah, Yah, Yah", and hadn't developed new, interesting styles of music?? Plus, let's put ourselves in their shoes. Constantly performing on stage, playing the same song set night after night. I'd be ready to try new music out as well!!:)

Only two terms??:stunned: That's hardly enough time to grab a martini off the tray as it passes by!:laugh3: Yes, Senator Saffire, I concur! It's too secure, and because of that, they can and often do loose touch with we citizens! ..and start to think insular thoughts, as though they can see it all from their island in the beltway.:book2:. McCain's little wormtongue? As in Wormtongue, from Lord of the Rings??:laugh3: Is his tongue long and forked?:P Lindsey Graham - I hear his name bantered about on the news quite a lot.. Is he McCain's pick for running-mate then?

:laugh3::laugh3: Ya, right! They're into power lunches and jazz or classical music (see flight of the Valkyries; starring Elmer Fudd and Buggs Bunny..);) Waltzes maybe. Rum and cokes? More like Martinis or Gin and Tonics. White wine or red, depending on the meal. This is Senate - think Roman Senate. Togas. Very Formal, with wreaths of olive branches in their hair, and plates of Hor'Derves being held aloft by waiters wearing topcoats and tails!:laugh3: Getting through to them is really tough, because they already think they have the answers. Hence, the mess we're in today!:P It's a long shot. Maybe just an exercise, but on rare occasion, if the planets align correctly, and the moon is in the southern sky...:laugh3: But one never knows unless one tries, so here goes!

:greedy::whip::whip::whip::karate::karate::karate: Jay, it's going to take a club, three whips, and an army of Samurai warriors to break that club:laugh3:;)! But I do agree, term limits are one way to curb the graft. Presidents are limited to 2-terms (whew!), but what would be reasonable for the House and Senate?

Hey kimchi, after 7.6 years of bad/awful "leadership", we're all wanting change at this point!:laugh3: But thanks - you've given me the strength to continue writing;). I like your way of seeing things - yes, citizens of the world unite!;);). Britain is basically a global place anyhow, so you're in the right location! ..& best wishes in your future travels.;) I'm very much in favor of Obama, but just trying to keep him balanced. Unfortunately, often times our future leaders seek "expert advice", and that means turning to those who have "experience", a militaristic background, or who have wild schemes - so they start out with a more balanced way of thinking, but often end up being heavily influenced by those who might otherwise be confined to a mental institution!:laugh3: (I shouldn't laugh, but there's real truth to this...) So, one letter goes to Kohl (LOL, I know!), one to Feingold, one to Barack, and one to Representative Kagen in the US House. Kagen's a big proponent of fair trade, and he's definitely anti-war in general (unless we're totally out of options), so at least he's got his marbles all lined up right. Well, anyhow, thanks again for the encouragement, and many happy travels!!:)

Our US Senate here - well, it's very clubby. How do I get through to them in a way that is effective? :thinking:

:sunny::curtain:Hello Czech Fans! Prague looks like a beautiful city! Keep hunting for those tickets...:hippy:

Hello Nick! Just chiming in here - hope you're morning is going well! Still composing letters to the Senate and House members, asking for a more sane policy regarding foreign policy, and tweaking their ears a bit..

:rolleyes::stunned: Now that's a surprise! When I'm really pissed, I hammer out a tune on the piano, chop wood, or occasionally I just yell at traffic.:laugh3:

Nice music to fall asleep to!:sleeping2::wacko:

When I was 4, it was Bambi!

You mean to tell me Ginger Spice's real name isn't Ginger?:bigcry:I'm just deva-stated!:laugh3: 1971 - Jonathan Greenwood, guitar, keyboards, and it says he's with some group by the name of Radiohead?? Who are they??:P Are they worth listening to?? 1959 - Bryan Adams:cool: 1947 Peter Noone, vocals, Herman's Hermits.:) 1956 Helen O'Hara Dexy's Midnight Runners.;)
