IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 ACRES PER PERSON.

WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 4.5 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE ACRES PER PERSON.


IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 2.5 PLANETS.

Thank you for providing the link to this. I thought I was doing pretty well, but 2.5 planets! Yikes! I am in the process of potty training my 2 year old (I hate thinking of all the diapers I have thrown away, although I do spend most of his day as diaper free as possible. And I am praying for a good hybrid or pure electric mini-van to tote my 3 kids back and forth to school (I get nervous every time I wave good bye to them on the school bus, those things and polluting monsters and they just aren't safe without seatbelts).

Hi Viv-

I chose this nickname a long time ago when I was living in Maui. The street that my daughter's daycare was on was Kaiwahine (mermaid) and I just really liked the way that word sounded. I am crazy about the water, I had to be in the ocean everyday (or at least the pool) so I thought that lolo-crazy, kai-salt water, wahine-girl just kind of fit me ;)

Hi Pam and Viv!!!!

It's nice to meet you, Viv. My name is lolo, I am a mother of 3 (aged 9, 7 and 2) and  I have gained and lost over 180 pounds due to pregnancies, PPD treatments and an experiemental birth control injection.  I was raised in a Catholic church, went thru the New Age thing in my 20's and am currently very involved in my gospel church, which I love. I find that every minute I am getting closer to God and I am a certified Jesus Freak !!!

I hope that this thread will become more active like it used to be and you will find some of the most wonderful, lovely, kind, spirited women and men in the world right here!

According to Snopes.com (my favorite reference for urban legends) the bugjuice is true.

And as far as the Vitamin D goes, here is an article from Vegetarian Journal That states that Tropicana's juice comes from a purely synthetic Vitamin D whilst Florida Grower's comes from a base of lanolin (sheep) and is concocted synthetically from there.

 Anyway you look at it, it's not vegetarian. It's eeeeewwwwy! I think I'll stick with good old sunshine and an orange ;)

Shannon-

I live in the Southeast Valley of Arizona, in Chandler. Let me know if there is anything that I can do for you. If the lead pans out and he is here, I will contact the local news and see if they can run some sort of story about him. Channel 3 (www.azfamily.com) has a wonderful caring morning show and they might be able to help get the word out to look for him. My 7 y.o. daughter asked about Christopher this afternoon and I let her light her own candle for him as she said a prayer.

Take care and God bless-

Lolo 

*********************Joke of the Day***************************8

A man riding his Harley was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish." 
 
The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking: the supports required reaching the bottom of the Pacific and the concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that could possibly help mankind."
 
The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally, he said, "Lord, I wish that I and all men could understand women. I want to know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she really means when she says nothing's wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy."
 
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

Hello everyone!

This week Sedona saved a Gecko from being eaten by my neighbor's cat and we tried to nurse it back to health. It survived for 3 days but on the Saturday night it passed away. Sedona has always said that she either wanted to be a farmer or a vet so I was hoping that this would be a "life" experience for her. She took it pretty hard and carried "Baby Gater" in his coffin to church, but as soon as her friend came over to pick her up for an impromptu sleepover, she perked right up. I haven't seen her since yesterday so I think she will be alright. I have been waiting to have his funeral until she gets back home. 

Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail

The Fifth Element

Indian Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark

Robin Hood (I know, embarrassing but I love the soundtrack)

Armageddon

Independence Day

The Breakfast Club

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Beauty and the Beast

The Little Mermaid

Logan's Run

I have an idea (don't go running away screaming, it's a good idea, really)!

It sounds as though we all miss it when we were all on here at similar times so that we had more of a chat room than a bulletin board type atmosphere, so.........how about we try to have a chat night once a week. Let's try to make it at the same night and time every week so that we (meaning me) don't forget . I like Tuesday's at 6pm. Chime in with your preferences (it's currently 11:34 am on Saturday at my house).

Solomon will be 2 on October 10th. Did I tell you he puts his hands together and places them right under his nose and against his mouth! My littlest angel

When does everything change? I can, thankfully, still look at my children and think that they will never turn on me and they won't be like other teenagers, but I know that they are going to be whatever they want to be. It won't/doesn't seem to matter what you try to teach/show them, they have to figure it out for themselves.
