9/11/2001- The Writers' Cafe: "Today too many of us live life like the flock. There is no sharing in the flock, and constant pushing and shoving. From the little research I have already done on Chekhov, he was greatly concerned about the rights of man, as mentioned in The Seagull.

My personal belief is that there is no shortage of wealth in this nation, as well as in the world. Political theorists would have us believe that the economy of our country has taken a major downturn simply because perhaps a handful of the wealthiest have lost a few poorly placed bets on the great economic roulette wheel of “high tech stocks”.

Our nation’s leader would now have you believe the same “voodoo economy” nonsense that his party predecessors have promoted. Many armchair critics have already sited the president’s agenda as nothing short of class war. I suppose I could go on with this thread but do not want alienate too many of my potential readers.

The First Good Meeting Place For Blogs!

The First Good Meeting Place For Blogs!: "The internet was a much smaller universe back then. However it was filled with so many “free” downloads. Often these free downloads would effect your computer in a negative way. For example I remember this one aligator icon would leap up and snap at your cursor every time you tried to close the icon in the tray!"

Ketosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ketosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Ketosis (pronounced /kiːˈtoʊsɪs/) is a state in metabolism occurring when the liver excessively converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies which can be used by the body for energy.
Adipose tissue consists of highly specialized cells which store energy in the form of a triglyceride and release it upon hydrolysis in a process known as lipolysis, yielding three fatty acids and one glycerol molecule.[1] These ketone bodies are a by-product of the lipid metabolic pathway after the fat is converted to energy.[2][3][4][5][6] Ketoacidosis, by contrast, is the accumulation of excessive keto acids in the blood stream (specifically acetoacetate and beta-hydroxy butyrate)."

One Frum Skeptic

One Frum Skeptic: "But today, we both took wings, cuz our families (mostly my super hungry sister) expect them. And then we went for a walk around coney island/astro land, where we had way to much fun playing arcade games for tickets. My friend won 101 tickets at the deal/no deal game so we got my sister a cute little stuffed doggy, and dice for my friends car.

Then we decided to play the water gun game. We played like 3 times to trade up to a penguin. My best friend is OBSESSED with penguins. So, yay!! she got a penguin.

And then we went to 7-11, got slurpees and scratch lotto tickets. :-D

How cute and creative are we?

Now, if only real dating was this fascinating!"
