Quagga? Why didn’t I get to see this? ;_;
(So I have a thing for striped horses… bet you couldn’t tell.)

Doesn’t sound good to me sounds messy!!!That is a very inappropriate statement. And somewhat uncalled for.
And yes, I would much rather have Collin run the country than Hillary. Collin, when even compared to that particular piece of anatomy is still cleaner than most of the politicians up for choosing, including Hillary.
He won’t run for president, I know, but I can wish, right? That’s actually one of the better reasons why I think he’d make a good president. The reluctant leader is always better than the leader that has to pander in order to get you to vote for them.
Please don’t get upset, everyone is just making comments. I really am interested in what others have to say and if we start fighting between outselves the thread will get pulled.
I love Collin Powell, but knew he would never run. As for oil and prices..I live in South Louisiana and our economy is dependant on oil. People here complain, but anyone can get a job, if they want to work. So high oil prices are good and bad. They support many people who might be on welfare if they couldn’t get a good job on an offshore rig. But they unfairly put financial stress on people in other states.
I can see both sides of the oil prices. Most people can’t, but I lived through the 80’s when many people here lost jobs and houses and filed for bankruptcy because the bottom fell out of the oilfield. My family lived in a 28 foot travel trailer for a year because we were basically homeless for a year.
We all have our experiences and prejudices…but please don’t take anything to seriously on this thread, we need to keep it nice 🙂 Merry Christmas !
I did not get upset. I can be quite, quite verbose, and very succinct when I do get angry, and/or upset, and I am not afraid to call someone when they make me either. I was however, making a statement that if you wanted mature, and interesting conversation about people’s politics, then making the crude, and immature pun upon Collin’s name being close to the word ‘colon’ is not on the conversation menu. Additionally, I was stating my irritation at the fact that all political parties (regardless of stance, candidate, or affiliation) must seemingly pander and sell their views to us, the “audience” in order to win not only the money, but the leadership of this country. It’s a sad situation, no matter what frame of mind you take on it.
And I can see the other side of the fence regarding oil. Oil can be either a boon or a curse, depending upon how it is handled. It has the capacity to not only help out third world countries that have oil as a natural resource when managed properly (In other words… when huge American oil corporations or OPEC does not get involved) but be an enviornmentally safe, and organized business.

Personally, Hillary would be the very LAST person I would vote for EVER. I will vote for a republican before I vote for her.
(Just for reference, I affiliate with no political party. If you want to classify me into “something”, I am a gun-toting, foaming at the mouth libertarian. A redneck, in other words)
Personally, if we had to have a woman president, I’d much rather see Condy Rice. But, If I could pick anyone for president (aside from myself, obviously), it would have to be Collin Powell hands down. In spite of some actions by him during the Bush administration, I really do admire the man. One of the (few to nonexistant) politician these days with some sense of the word “moraliaty”.
In all honesty, I don’t trust any one of the candidates, be them republican, democrat, or other. Politicians in general are low-life scum – particularly those destined for the presidency.

Some of us locusts that Melody refers to are easily tempted by chinese food. >.>

P.S. – The food everyone has been sending is really yummy! We are noticing a trend – sugar (In some form or another) and coffee to keep us up all night painting and casting!

I’m sorry but I’m really getting tired of wasting the forum time talking about poeople that have more money and can out bid people.
We have all had losses like this and have to just pick up the pieces and move on. I lost the 1st 23KT Gold Leaf Hatching Empress and I had a bid of $1950 and got out bid at the last second.
I’m sorry but I’m hoping that we can stop worrying about who has the ability to get what*eyebrow raise*
‘Scuse me, but I had to put my two cents in here.
Talking about a subject like this is a very good way to let off bad feelings and ruffled feathers in a way that is both constructive, and non-harmful to everyone in the community. Mainly because I think at some point, we are all disappointed by being snipered, or having something we really, really wanted taken from us. This is part of the community spirit here, and one of the reasons why this community is great, because we can talk about things that bother us without it turning into a huge drama fest. If you really do dislike it that much, you may always close the window.
For my bit – I was very much in love with the black violet peacock old warriors, and I could never afford one, nor is it likely I will ever get one. Best to let it slide than dwell on it. Windstone is not going to run out of pretty things for us to buy anytime soon.
