Excuse me while I stick my head in the toilet
Seeded on Mon Aug 17, 2009 9:01 PM EDT (Salon.com)
I clean strangers' toilets for money. I have two college degrees, and I sold a book to an overseas division of Random House. The money hasn't come rolling in (though I pray to Oprah on a regular basis), so I clean houses as a way to pay the bills between royalty checks.

Former Youth Services Board Member Gets Probation For Sexually Assaulting 4 Year Old
Seeded on Fri Mar 20, 2009 6:27 AM EDT (Nebraska State Paper)
How is this possible? People who get convicted of posession of pot get more severe sentences than probation. This guy sexually assaulted a 4 year old CHILD! I hope everyone who reads this writes the Douglas County Court and demands this judge be removed from the bench.

DNA Proves Man Not Father, But Still Has To Pay.....and pay.....and pay.....and
Seeded on Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:06 AM EDT (Nebraska State Paper)
This just goes to show how UNJUST the legal system can be. This guy has been paying child support for a child that DNA proves at 100% is not his, in fact the guy is sterile. And even the Nebraska Supreme Court will not overturn the case.

Most Influential Women
Seeded on Mon Mar 2, 2009 10:38 PM EST (realclearworld.com)
As the world faces an increasingly dire economic crisis, and as much of the west remains embedded in two wars, the spotlight is shining brighter on a select few women wielding power in 2009.
What's OK, and what's "too wrong?"
Mon Mar 2, 2009 11:01 AM EST
I have been looking around the Vine for the last few days, and a topic that suddenly seems to be on the minds of a lot of people is illegal aliens and the problems that are caused by the porous borders that we have, and the lack of enforcement of our immigration laws.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
— psykhe
A ravishing dainty of exquistie wisdom and charm, a pride of the badlands, a sought partner for a "hog" ride up to Sturgis for annual revelations via night ride through her guidance via astrologic observance and yet, one having sense enough to stay on the periphery of politic tongue dribbling, which to no end delves into the alcoves of sheer madness. She brings a smile, most frequently!
Thank you Tumbleweed for your friendship. I enjoy reading articles you've written and Good News Wednesday. David
Hi Tumbleweed,
I am just getting used to the Vine now, even though I stayed away about six weeks before the election. I burned out. I am glad to be your friend and I look forward to sharing your ups and downs in this electronic jungle. As I read your headline I could not help but remember what my Mom always used to say, "Small things amuse small minds." When people are being petty that seems to surface quite easily. Good luck in your writing. I am trying to do some of the same, write!

Just wanted to thank you for the friendship. I have enjoyed your company here on the vine. Thanks for the wonderful articles ( hey I have a extra few loose screws if you ever need them) and thanks for the laughs ! Looking forward to many more wonderful years on the vine with you.
Kimmie
Thank you for the invite. Sometimes feel like I have been blowing in the wind for ever also... we have lots in common. I am SWF born & breed in Schenectady, NY. Saved and Baptized a Baptist, than disillusioned around 13 by that. I believe in God, religion concerns me.... 41 (never married) and still have nothing really figured out. Live with and take care of my mom, 3 cats, brothers (sometimes myself....LOL =}). Newsvine is the 1st place I ever blogged, and thought I knew so much.... Not! See you around the vine chick....
Wow, The Serpeant and Rainbow. I love that movie too, creepy as hell though, I heard a story about the producer, I will post it tomorrow, make sure you check it out.
