I think the stress is getting to us...
CALM DOWN EVERYONE!
The anticipation of the leak case indictments is stressing everyone out and putting people on edge. Stay calm and be patient.


Here is a pretty, calming picture:

7. ya. I'm freaking out.
i go to bed at like 3AM. I'm getting nothing done. I listened to Hannity just to see how they were spinning it on my way to get coffee just now. It's screwed. They are making it look tiny. I don't know how many more last second losses i can take.

Actually, i can take a lot...

I'm a Charger fan.

15. do you know french?
Je travaille à .Montréal, j'habite à Sainte-Adèle. Cent-cinquante kilomètres par jours, 5 jours semaines; mais heureusement je fais du co-voiturage. Deux heures de trafic, parfois plus, pour avoir le plaisir de ne pas habiter Laval, Montréal ou Brossard. Quand je dis que j'habite les Laurentides les gens me regarde d'un drôle d'air, comme si j'étais un peu cinglé...Mais moi quand je regarde la belle nature c'est eux que je trouve cinglé....

53. Well, I guess
it's possible that Fitzgerald is only planning on issueing parking tickets ....

Everything is fine. There may be some things going on below the surface, but they are not things people on the democratic left need worry about. Things are good. Very good.

50. Makes me think of a scripture passage!
I will flee into the mountains from where cometh my help, or something to that affect? I'm going to look it up, because I can't really remember the entire text.

51. Damn!
I quoted scripture? Now that would be a surprise. Flashbacks?

To qualify..I have nothing against religion but choose not to participate in traditional religious services but I was raised as a Christian. I would be surprised if it came close to a scripture. Let me know!

56. Ready? Do you have a Bible?
It's from the Old Testament Psalms 121 " I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help"....... Well mountains , hills whatever. Your picture looked like a "high hill" I can't help it if I've been feeling very spiritual lately. It's what is keeping me sane (along with DU) Mountains and water and fire are very spiritual things, in many religions, yes?

57. I do have one
somewhere. Everything is spiritual to me, especially mountains and water and fire. Add everything else and that is where I get me sanity plus DU of course.

Thanks. Very nice, I always liked reading the Psalms.

33.  This is an easy-to-do stress reduction technique
Here is a stress management technique recommended in all the latest psychological texts:

Picture yourself near a stream.

Birds are softly chirping in the crisp, cool, mountain air.

No one knows your secret place.

You are in total seclusion from that hectic place
called "the world".

The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the
air with a cascade of serenity.

The water is clear.



You can easily make out the face of the person you're holding under the water...

There now.....

feeling better?

Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 04:06 PM by the_spectator
Because the ANTS ARE MARCHING! Fitzgerald's ants! ...

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one,
The little one stopped to indict someone,
And they all went marching down
Into the ground
Just to get out
of the rain
BOOM BOOM BOOM

The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah!
The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah!
The ants go marching two by two
The little one stopped to tell us who
Will so soon be marching locked,
through the cell block
5 to 10
DOOM DOOM DOOM

The ants go marching three by three ...
.. Then Scooter stopped to "finger Cheney" (ackk)

The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah!
The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah!
The ants go marching four by four,
The little one stopped to open the door
To impeachment hearings now
i-in the House,
on Network TV
in America's family ROOMS ROOMS ROOMS ROOMS....
