Pardon me your royal highness if I miss spelled a word that upsets you. You seem to get upset rather easy. I am not going to ask forgiveness because as you say you miss spell words and unlike YOU, I do not correct posters. What about that stupid thread you started on misspelling? If you don't like it put me on ignore, it's as easy as that.
Thanks classic for helping I had a rather tough day....and thanks to Maggie she just added to it.

LOL.. Libra.. I knew you would pitch a fit.. that's why I apologized ahead of time for calling you on your spelling mistake..
I'm sorry that you have had a bad day and that my telling you that you misspelled the word Huge..made it worse..
Are you thanking Classic for his helping you by saying he has a huge penis!!!!!LOL
Sorry you are grumpy tonight.. but how difficult is it to click on that little box with the ABC and check mark right beside the message box to do a spell check?
Thank you for calling me "Your Royal Highness"
but it really isn't necessary.. you can just call me Maggie..
PS...I appreciate it when someone corrects my mistakes and brings it to my attention...like if you had a dryer fabric softener sheet sticking out of the leg of your pants...or if you were dragging toilet paper on your shoe..wouldn't you appreciate it if someone brought it to your attention..?

Now maggie you are comparing apples to oranges but of course why did I think otherwise.
Now to explain that little check box, I use it all the time and I will tell you that hugh is a word, name or what ever and that little spell checker would not correct me. Get it.
If you reread my post I did not pitch a fit but with your selective reading that is what you read it as. Get over yourself Maggie we all have the right to post here and I am not the only one who has an occasional missspelled word.......

magster-I gotta tell you this story.About 10 years ago there was this secretary who was just like you-we were always joking around.One day she was on her way to the lunch room,just coming out of the bathroom.She had on this very long dress that came down to almost her ankles.
As she passed by my desk I could see the whole back of her dress was stuck in her panty hose.I dont know how she did this,but her whole back side was showing all the up to her hips.I just burst out laughing,and she turned around asked what was so funny.I was laughing so hard tears were streaming down my face and I litterly couldnt say anything.She just shrugged her shoulders and went into the lunch room,which their was about 20 people in there.About 30 seconds later I hear this loud shreik, she stormed out of the lunch room back to my desk and said "ya son of #*!@ why the hell didnt ya tell me"???
Of course this made me laugh even harder,and I said "sorry Pat I was laughing so hard I couldnt speak" Then she burst out laughing and said "yea, I can see I can depend on you for help" She left about 5 years later,but every time that story was mentioned we both burst out laughing.

ROFLMAO..Classy..!! I'd have knocked you on your head first then rolled on the floor laughing... In my examples..the bounce hanging out of the leg of my pants actually happened to me.. I was on an escalator when the person behind and below me told me something was hanging out of my pants.. LOL..
But my most embarrassing moment ever in life was with husband number 2... we had just separated and things were a tad tense between us.. we made plans to meet at a local fast food restaurant to go over a few things before filing for a divorce...
well..
all was going smoothly until he said something hurtful and sarcastic... and of course my temper flared....and I called him every name in the book.. then picked up my 40 oz. drink and went to take a big gulp...forgetting that there were straws instead of an open cup....!!
I shoved both straws full force up my nostrils!!!!!!!!!
Oh.. the pain.. I can't describe...LOL...
I jerked my head back in shock and pain and the straws came out of the cup now impaled in my nose dripping coke from the ends...!
My x-husband looking on in utter horror and amazement then hysterics took over.. the entire room erupted in laughter... what could I do.. I pulled the straws out of my nose and joined in the laughter..
I still laugh out loud when I think about it!

The inauguration is expected to be one of the most expensive in history. Inaugural organizers initially estimated that the cost for three days of events would reach $50 million.
Last week, the committee said it would spend $30 million to $40 million, all of it paid for by private donations.
This is only partly true. The private donations cover the parties and such, all the other costs associated with the actual swearing in ceremony are paid by the taxpayers.

The increasing costs of these inaugurations reminds me of the salaries of professional athletes. They keep climbing and climbing while always trying out to do the last contract that was signed. In the end it the fans that end up paying their salary. In the case of the presidential inauguration, it is the taxpayer that gets screwed.

Your total LACK of objectivity and ability to judge others is showing once again when you make a statement to Libra like this but so easily ignore worse from crow ... who holds the record here for being the most miserable.

And yes, logansdad, those costs are ALWAYS paid for by the taxpayers....not one bit different, nor more expensive than they've ever been. You guys are just very sore losers.

Then we have the laughable....at it again. Newdow thinks he's going to keep this President from placing his hand on the Bible when he's sworn in. ---
By Jon Ward
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The California lawyer who tried to have the phrase "under God" removed from the Pledge of Allegiance now wants to legally prevent President Bush from placing his hand on a Bible while being sworn in at his inauguration.
Michael Newdow, an atheist doctor and lawyer from Sacramento, has filed a complaint and a motion for preliminary injunction in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, seeking to remove prayer and all "Christian religious acts" from the Jan. 20 inauguration.
Mr. Newdow, 50, asserts that the presence of Christian ministers who pray publicly at the inauguration, Christian songs and the swearing of the oath of office while a president places a hand on the Bible violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment.
Such practices turn people "into second-class citizens and create division on the basis of religion," he said yesterday.
"It is an offense of the highest magnitude that the leader of our nation while swearing to uphold the Constitution publicly violates that very document upon taking his oath of office," Mr. Newdow wrote in his Dec. 17 filing. "The demands of strict scrutiny have not been met, and defendants must be enjoined from their planned religious activities."
The Constitution does not require the new president to place his hand on a Bible while repeating the oath. The tradition has been kept since George Washington with the exception of Theodore Roosevelt, who did not use a Bible when he took the oath after President William McKinley's 1901 assassination.
The Revs. Franklin Graham and Kirbyjon Caldwell delivered Christian invocations at President Bush's 2001 inauguration. Inaugural organizers have yet to announce who will pray this year, but they confirmed there will be an invocation and a benediction by ministers chosen by the president. The White House and the Presidential Inaugural Committee, which is one of three inaugural organizational bodies, declined to comment on Mr. Newdow's actions but a response to his filing was due yesterday.
A hearing in the case is scheduled for Thursday, Mr. Newdow said.
Mr. Newdow's efforts are "part of a march toward removing every vestige of religion from American public life," said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, a D.C.-based public interest law firm.
"There is a progressive move toward secularism that we've got to combat pretty aggressively," he said.
The center is filing an amicus brief in support of the defendants in this case..
The legal debate centers on two Supreme Court cases Marsh v. Chambers in 1983 and Lee v. Weisman in 1992.
The argument in favor of prayer at the inauguration is based on the establishment of chaplains in Congress at its inception, before the Bill of Rights was passed prohibiting any "law respecting an establishment of religion."
When the presence of chaplains in the Nebraska state legislature was legally challenged in 1983 by Ernest Chambers, a Nebraska lawmaker, the Supreme Court ruled against him, saying the practice had a "special nook" because it was a long-standing practice to have government-paid chaplains.
"The Supreme Court has given its constitutional blessing, so to speak," said Mr. Sekulow. "We should not lose our history and the religious underpinnings it is founded on."
However, Mr. Newdow makes a distinction between prayer in government chambers and prayer at a presidential inauguration.
"This is the most important public ceremony we have in our public existence, the inauguration," he said. "This is public, not just for" lawmakers.
The presence of Christian influence and prayer, Mr. Newdow said, have forced him to contemplate not using his ticket to the inauguration because he does not want to feel like "an outsider." [he IS an outsider]
Mr. Newdow filed a similar suit in the San-Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year. The court threw out the suit, calling it "futile" and said that Mr. Newdow had not suffered "a sufficiently concrete and specific injury," the Associated Press reported.
Mr. Newdow first became a national figure when he argued before the Supreme Court last March to remove the phrase "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. The court dismissed his case on the grounds that he could not represent his 10-year-old daughter, who is in the custody of his ex-wife and believes in God.
In addition to his quest to remove Christian activities from the inauguration, Mr. Newdow has renewed his quest to remove "under God" from the pledge by filing a new suit in California federal court on behalf of eight other parents.
Mr. Newdow is a licensed minister of atheism, though he says he and members of his Internet church worship nobody. He says church members instead encourage a way of thinking.
"Question everything," said Mr. Newdow, summing up his worldview. "Be honest. Do what's right. Stand up for principle."
When asked how to determine what is right, Mr. Newdow said, "I use my brain."
Mr. Newdow states in his complaint that he "sincerely believes that there is no such thing as god, or God, or any supernatural force." On the contrary, he believes "supernatural" is an oxymoron. "Thus, plaintiff denies the existence of God."
The Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition, said Mr. Newdow's filing marks "the day we have been warning America would come."
"Mr. Newdow should be ashamed for seeking this injunction against his fellow citizens," he said. "We, as Americans, need to awaken and deal with these threats to religious liberty, cynically disguised as 'civil liberties' defense."

Good to see linduh isn't fishing for sympathy with the "pain in ribs" theme......hey linduh....see my post about Alberto Gonzales saying a little pain never hurt anybody ???
Oh, that's right , you quit posting right after that.
Ha! YOU, Mrs...er.. Ms. Desade should be able to understand it though
You said , "Yea, you along with crowfarm have done an excellent job of running off most of the posters"
Too bad you can't do a google search and C&P your PROOF of that!
But it's good to know you're still your narrow-minded , tunnel vision, bigoted self...wouldn't want you to have an original or sensible thought ...you might hurt yourself.

Honesty compells me to admit that it wasn't Crowfarm or Maggie that made me visit this board less often, Linda. That was brought about by the NeoCons on the board who make this a much less pleasant & welcoming place than it used to be.

Well bunni....the biggest drop in postings I noticed was immediately following this President being re-elected. Guess that's just too hard for some to accept. Not to much to do now except complain about everything he does.
But I would never believe you would support a poster like crowfarm who you KNOW lies continually just because you two are against the positions of those here on the right.
Sad day for me it that's true. His/her nastiness has been nothing but extreme here and for you to say it's the 'right's' postings is something I surely won't ever understand. It's not the individuals positions....it's the way they can't be civil in disagreement.

Pleezze...Linda, your snide, condescending, superior, holier than thou attitude, here on the RT is worse than any potty language I have ever used here! But then, you sprinkle your insults with smiley faces.. to try and hide the viciousness of your attacks.... It must be a shock to you to realize that people see right through you..
posted on January 14, 2005 12:41:32 PM new
I agree Linda.
For myself when I put crowfarm on ignore was the best day of my life. I have never been sworn at more than I have from crowfarm. I can't understand why posters can't post without profanity but it must be a way of life for them, and all everyone does it pat her on the back. I think in Minnesota they call them Jack Pine Savages. All maggie talks about is all her past marriages, who gives a darn, not me.
I don't understand why they can't understand that there will be 4 years more of a Republican president and if they don't get onto the democratic platform and help them there will be 4 more years after that. It's going to be a long wait for them. Moral values are gone from that party and even Ted Kennedy said that.
So Bush is having an inaugural whopp dee do, so did all the last presidents and guess what the next one will have one also. It's a way of life. So get over it.
"Well.. obviously, we haven't done a good enough job.. since your nasty ass is still here! LOL
Geesh, you sure are miserable.. maybe you should consider another few days in bed, with a good book and a buzz toy,ya think?"
How insulting of you Maggie. But then people from Louisana or Mississippi or where ever in the bayou your from have no smarts.
Just stupid alligator hunters.

Shock, maggie? LOL don't think so. There ARE those on the left who can disagree without making statements like they'd like to see my son killed or tortured because they don't agree with my political positions. Continually making false statements about my beliefs, actions, thoughts. That's pretty sick ...and you appear to me to think everything crowfarm says is appropriate and 'seeing though me'? LOL Speaks volumes about your own level of what's right and wrong....appropriate and inappropriate.
Guess both you and crowfarm missed the thread where everyone voted on just what they thought of cf. That shows me just how easy it is for you to think spelling/typing mistakes are so important but hateful, vile comments to other posters are okay with you.

I agree, Libra. Imo, they're just frustrated and have trouble accepting that this President is in power again. It's going to be a long four years. My point was how 'small' it was of maggie to pick on a typing error....guess it's because they can't debate/argue/support their positions....so much easier to resort to personal insults.
