where can I find a Springsteen forum that's comparable to this one in quality?thanks

After a month of tests and anxiety I know for sure. Multiple Sclerosis. I'm alternately terrified and cautiously optimistic. Is there anyone else on the board who has MS? I'd love to talk with someone else walking the walk...

MSNBC brings on a liberal morning show Feel free to move this thread if it would fit better in a different forum. The Stephanie Miller Show will broadcast in the old Imus time slot (6 - 9 am) on MSNBC the first three days this week. Anyone who has listened to their radio show will be eager...

With the crucial mid-term elections so close, I'd like to hear what other people think about what will happen. Where will we end up? What can we accomplish when we get there?

Woodward's third book about the Bush administration has a very different tone than the previous two, and the White House must be grasping for ways to spin it other than to calling it 'old news'. How do you think this will affect the coming election?

Yes, the good Dr. Frist lied about having fulfilled his CME, continuing medical education. This is something my seventy three year old Dad (small town GPs don't retire early, they don't make that much money, and their communities NEED them) had to sweat over this last year, grumbling about...

The CIA has closed it's special unit devoted to finding Osama bin Laden, citing the need to "address changes in terrorist organizations". To my cynical eye 9/11 was the best thing that ever happened to Bush, the war in Iraq the best thing that ever happened to Osama. Why end a great relationship?

What are the processes BushCo needs to go through before they can proceed with their plans to start another war? I look to the shining intellectuals on this board for enlightenment, and hope that there are ways that the administation can be stopped before thay make this tragic mistake..

A poster, with whom I had done a successful B & P exchange, for some reason did not come through for me a second time. I'm not out that much, but I'd still like to have the DVD I had expected to recieve, and am willing to try again. Would someone be willing to burn a copy of Chicago 4 for me...

On November third, Republican Gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi was ahead of Democrat Christine Gregiore by 261 votes. An automatic machine recount took his lead down to 42 votes. The Democrats paid for a second, hand recount, and Gregiore is now in the lead by 130 votes. The Republican party...

My sister got the job I thought would be mine. She walked into the bookshop (my dream job!) looking for something to take her mind off the fact that she'd just been layed off. She cried while she paid for it, and BAM- the job was hers. I'd made the mistake of thinking that since I'd been told I...

Really, I salt already salty foods. I've craved it since I can remember. My doctor says that my blood work shows low sodium, so he figures I don't process it like normal people. My blood pressure is fine, kidneys work great, so... I use as much as I want, and hope I don't gross people out when I...

I never thought I'd see the day when we'd consider having to impose the draft to force our young people into combat again. How many of us know kids who would have to go, should this take place? Are your children safe?

I don't know about you, but I think it's high time that the airwaves had an answer to Rush Limbaugh and the like. With Al Franken at the mike, it promises to be as caustic as it is funny. I'd rather listen to a funny man than a bombastic blowhard any day. Will you listen? Do you think that a...

My sister's boss, Pete, recently broke up with his live-in girlfriend, Jean. He owns a local nursery, she does botanical drawing for a living. I wrote this in honor of their relationship. The Ballad of Pete and Jean he drew it...

After giving us over ten years of remarkable photographs, the Hubble Space Telescope will be allowed to deteriorate unchecked. Bush's space mission has sounded the death knell for this fabulous piece of machinery.

Today I found a beautiful black wool overcoat from Nordstrom at my local shop. There was a half-off sale, so this coat that easily cost three hundred dollars new, is now mine... for four dollars. Recycle your clothing, it's a good thing. :yes:

How is it we can euthanize our pets and call ourselves merciful, but allow our fellow human beings to suffer needlessly? Suicide is considered shameful, assisted suicide a crime. The real crime is not giving people the option of a peaceful, painless death on their own terms. Who has a better...

I'm getting my prescription from Canada now, a three month supply through the mail for two thirds of what I'd pay here. I'd like to but American, but I'd rather not support the commercial enterprises that make drugs so expensive that the people who need them can't afford them. Commercials on TV...

I'm getting my prescription from Canada now, a three month supply for thirds the cost of what I'd pay here. I'd like to buy American, but I'd rather not support the commercial enterprises that make so many drugs too expensive to afford. Commercials on TV, for instance. :mad:

If you could check out anything from the library of books that haven't been written, what would they be? 1. 'Why I Want to Help the Poor' by George W. Bush 2. 'Nuclear Fission for Dummies' 3. 'The Answers' by God What about you?

I lost too much weight too fast when I changed medications and it really affected my appetite. It was so easy! I just went with it, and now I'm losing great gobs of hair everyday. I didn't get enough protein then, and now I'm paying the price. Brushing my hair is bad enough, washing it a...

I heard a lecture on Ancient Rome recently, and the Professor mentioned that before 67 B.C. the Roman Empire- as mighty as it was- was helpless against two things... terrorism (pirates) and third-rate dictators (Mithridates). Sound familiar? Only after...

I just got a new puppy last week and the crate training has me up four or five times a night. Last night I finally gave in and tried the 'hand of God' method that the breeder told me about, a hearty thump on top of the crate when the whining won't stop. She told me the puppy wouldn't know where...

how about a summer beauty tip thread? One of my favorite tricks is to swish hydrogen peroxide and water (half and half) around in my mouth for at least a minute after I brush my teeth. It tastes awful- but it's safe, good oral hygiene, it brightens your teeth and it's dirt cheap. Have some...
