  1. For many years I've used a product called Bag Balm :D . . . it's for Cows udders :D BUT works great on my feet! :D

    Take care, precious!

    5.5" Stilettoes RULE!

    Ciao!

    Bag Balm is great stuff. It's available at Brookstone, at least it was. My mother worked at The Food and Drug Law Instutute in D.C. for many years. She asked the director of the place, a Dr. - Lawyer, about it and he checked the ingredients. It's both safe and effective. Ask any Dr.

  2. Yes, those who contribute to candidates election funds (and other funds) are privy to more attention from that candidate should they get elected

    D U H ! :D NEWSFLASH! It's the same everywhere.

    The Electoral College has always been a puzzlement to me BECAUSE it has the power to make a loser a winner through a confusing and contrived process.

    This is why we need to do away with the College of Electorates and get back to "For the People and by the People". . . People being the active word here.

    Is our Government perfect? No.

    Whose government is?

    Ciao,

    Dear Anita C.

    I have to point out the, being a lawyer and all, you bought into the system.

    If we do away with the E.C., then we would have many more political parties, like the UK and Canada. I don't know if that would be good or bad.

  3. About 30 years or more ago, the US Govt. decided that Washington, DC needed a modern airport. Where to put it. They chose a large chunk of rural farmland, miles out in "plum nearly" and constructed Dulles Internal Airport. The reason they chose such an isolated and unpopulated area was because there wasn't many people around to complain about the noise jet aircraft make. Well, like I said, that was more than 30 years ago. And now, the area has boomed and there's a tremendous number of people living all around DIA. Guess what? Depite the fact that these people were forewarned that it got noisy around there, they chose to build their houses close to the airport and directly under the flight paths. Now, these people have banned together and sued the government because they don't like the noise.

    I say, since they were forewarned about the noise, and chose to build nearby anyway, it's too bad they don't like it. They paid their money and, knowing full well in advance the conditions that prevailed prior to their taking a decision, screw-em! :D

    About 9 years ago, my wife went house hunting. She told me she found a great house and she wanted me to look at it. Guess what? It was north of Dulles and in the flight path. I've lived in the area for many years and I know where the planes fly and where the airports are. I said no way! Several years later, there was an article in the paper about people who had bought in that area and the noise caused by the planes. They looked at the house during the day but the planes take off at night for Europe and elsewhere.
