The fur is fine as long as it is not from endangered animals. I would wear mink in a heart beat if I could afford it. I was reared on a farm and I am not a big fan of mink. They are mean and nasty animals. You should see what one little fur clad mink can do to a hundred baby chicks. It is not a pretty site.

Oops forgot a couple of comments. The spitters need to stop spitting and the gum chewers should dispose of their gum properly. The street pictured looks good.

Funny photo. I am impressed with the cleanliness of the streets. Toddlers on leashes are much safer than toddlers running free. I am not a dog lover but I am happy to see the woman cleaning up the mess. I see many people in my neighborhood walking their doggies carrying little bags of doggie doo. Now if only the cigarette smokers would clean up their act.

Posted in: The trouble with Harry: He's nearly all grown up See in context
Harry was not on my preferred reading list. I did not like the series however since I am a librarian I had to become familiar with it so I could answer questions. My most dreaded question about Harry was "Did you like it?" Thank goodness I did not have to answer that question often. I have always given an honest opinion about books I have read but I have never been condemned for giving my opinion but with Harry it was different. It was as if I had committed a crime for not loving Harry. Harry seems to have become an addiction for some.

"I don't see how this differs from a bunch of people praying for something in church. These ladies have a common goal, so why not pray together?" I have never thought of doing this at church because there are more important needs (illness, unemployment etc) than a husband. But I will pass the suggestion to my ladies prayer group as we have several single ladies.

This is just plain weird. I know many women who pray for husbands but not in a group setting.

Children are amazing. I was sitting in a Chinese restaurant and overheard the owner's young son and niece talking. At times they would be speaking English but would lapse into Chinese with ease. Sometimes they would speak both languages in the same sentence. They appeared to be about 5-6 years old. Beautiful, I wish I could do that.

Posted in: Malaysia arrests 9 Christians for trying to convert Muslims See in context
If you wish to convert then you go to a Mosque and study.
I beg to differ with that comment. Muslims have been known to try to convert outside of the Mosque. Maybe its a new thing.
I just do not believe that anyone should be arrested for trying to convert another whatever their religion may be. I say this even though I have been bombarded by those wishing to convert me to their religion. I would never jeopardize my religious freedom by denying others.

Posted in: Pushy French are world's worst tourists; Japanese are top: study See in context
There are quite a fews surveys that would disagree with this one. There are some that acutally rank the Japanese as the worst not because they are impolite but because of the obessessive photo taking. The Japanese tourits have been reported to be quite pushy when it comes to getting a good photo. I was also with a tour group once when the guide announced several times that photos would not be allowed and that cameras should be put away. Guess which group sneaked a few photos? However I would not judge other Japanese tourists by the actions of this one group. We were on a boat and I was afraid to take pictures because we were touring a naval base. I bought postcards. By the way, I do not put much faith in surveys.

I love mono-histories. I have read the history of the pencil, the toilet and most recently one about chewing gum. There are mono-histories for almost anything in the world. They are fun reads.

Modesty is a virtue that few possess. I totally agree with the comment about the mules and might I add flip-flops. I workd in a public place and the clacking and flapping is almost too much on somes days.

Resting? When I rest, I do nothing. I do not talk on the phone or read. I love the foiliage and the area appears to be very clean. It does look like a good place to take a break.

Posted in: Michael Jackson dies of reported cardiac arrest at 50 See in context
I am sorry that he has died. He was a pathetic individual who never seemed happy with himself. Even though he was found not guilty of the pedophilia I was never comfortable with the verdict. In fact, for some reason I was never comfortable with him and his music. I never permitted my son to listen to his music. He was banned from my home way before all the stuff about the boys became public. Again, I am sorry that he has died and my condolences to the family. I can only imagine their grief.

He is what he is, a socialist. The US has been inching into a Socialistic form of government for a long time. I am not too happy but there is not much I can do about it. I have emailed the White House expressing my opinion and that is about all I can do.

Skinny with big feet and an even bigger hair bow. When I first saw the thumbnail photo, I thought she was doing the 'chicken dance'. She is pretty but her outfit is ridiculous. She would have looked better in the team uniform. What is with that big bow on her head. If she had left that thing where she found it she would have looked much better in the photo.
