The Front Porch Swing

I confirm Great Idea

Yeah...I think that was rather staged, as no one props a gun like that where it could slide off and hit the floor, especially not a nice gun with a scope and all. It was probably a way to make a cultural statement against hillbilly families. We are not all that gun obsessed and guns are usually stored in a closet and ammo in a separate place. Anyone with a lot of guns and nice ones, will have them in a gun safe, as that is one of the number one thing stolen when people break into your house...guns.

I was thinking that bedroom was more likely found in a suburb than anywhere near a "hill." The whole thing looks like it was built by the Extreme Makeover people, or would show up in one of the bedrooms at The Street Of Dreams ... and the "girl" room would be America's Next Top Model themed.

Mick? As in Mick Jagger? Or even just Jagger?

Or Stephen Tyler....that's what his neck is starting to look like as he ages....

Could be. It was altogether too neat to be a boy's room anyway. In my boy's rooms you wouldn't be able to see the guns for all the clothing thrown around.....

This interesting...and I can see this idea spreading.... http://www.aol.com/article/2014/04/...rid7|customfirefox|dl33|sec1_lnk2&pLid=459800

Won't be long until other countries...even ours...adopt this as a method of controlling the populace.

Do you guys ever refuse when the cashier asks for your phone number...just so they can track your purchases for you? Like I need that? When do I get the report on that tracking? It's already started here in the states in an innocuous manner such as....store cards that offer money off and you can only get those sale prices if you have the card.

I always refuse to give my phone number, zip code, etc. when they ask because it's just training...conditioning us to just let them monitor our food and other purchases. Do you ever get a report of your tracked purchases?

There were three that had me concerned.... Argentina because there are sooo many street children there. The One whos room was three trundle beds and a closet and NO adornment whats o ever. And the Hunter Boy... But I feel some of those were staged.... as well as the pictures of the children.

Nope, you won't be asked to leave the porch...it's big enough for all opinions!

That's the beauty of the porch...it's a community, not a cult.

I tend to think a person should spend resources as the Holy Spirit leads them and I see those people in other lands as neighbors....if any of my money helps my neighbor have food, shelter, medicine and a safe place to sleep, I'll give it...it's not really my money but has been given to me by God and is to be used for His purposes. I'm inclined to spend money locally first because I don't have much to give, but if I had millions, I'd spread it out to include helping the poorest individuals in every country I could. I don't care what our government spends THEIR money on...it's none of my concern, I have to answer for my own actions and that's enough to keep track of.

You are right....some folks would look at those bedrooms and be appalled, but I grew up in a 2 room log cabin, sleeping on a bed made with logs, right next to my sister. I could reach out and touch my parent's bed and my brother slept on the bunk bed above us girls. We had cardboard on the floors and all my clothing fit into a cardboard box under the bed. I didn't feel deprived, our house was clean, we had food, shelter and enough clothing and if someone would have said we were needy I'd have been looking around for who they were talking about!

I care more about those kids getting fresh water, food, medical care, and safety from harm....the children of the world are the most preyed upon members of society for use in the sex trade and that is the most horrible injustice of all for these children.

x2 on all of it.

Quote: October is my fav.... My son was born in October but beyond that I love costume parties... Back when I was Thin enough to wear a little black dress I was heavily into face painting and dressing up for Halloween parties. Back in the late sixties and seventies I forege when Laughin was on TV but I would do the face painting like for Goldie Hawn on my girlfriends.

One time for my sons tenth Birthday I did a mad scientist Birthday party. I brought disposable lab coats from work.... Rubber gloves and Goggles too... I was soo bad. but that stuff was disposable... And we did Science experiments using vinegar and baking soda. We blew up baloons with Carbon Dioxide and floated a baloon on a layer of Carbon Dioxide in an aquarium... Put out candles and while this even sucked an egg into a milk jug... I had to do that one because it involved fire not carbon dioxide.
