Just take it easy, okay?

The Tree: Wednesday, May 28/08, 8:04AM: Well hey Kris!

Glad to see you, darlin'!

Kris: Hey Holly! Thanks for always stopping by and cheering me on! I'm gonna come back out here and read up on you later. I've been up all night helping with the science project!!

Holly: Thanks, Hazel!

I'll have it up in the next couple of hours, then!

It was an awesome piece - man, are you talented!

Holly: Hi Krishna. I agree that's definitely part of the problem. You can post in the Comment section of the current post, if you'd like. Or, when I post again later, you can use that one. I'll try to broach the topic gently and with the idea of genuine discussion...

Krishna: Hi Holly, There are a few facts that I would like to share with you. I appreciate a lot of points that you bring out. The problem is not with the American President whose name is mentioned. The problem is with the System. Even if you are made the President, you may do worse than what you hate now. It is big TOPIC that will open a lot of "insights" for you. Let me know where I have to post my coments. Let us do at one post of yours and follow it up.

Hazel: Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Feel free to use the 'Coccoon' track! Best ~Haze

GAYCANUCK: Good Morning... Hope you are having a good week. I'm still packing. Shawno

mAi: thanks for dropping by my site, have a great day!

Marites: Wow! HOlly, you have beautifully magnificent pictures!

Marites: Hi! thanks for visiting :)

Krishna: Hi, Thanks for the visit. I have been following the US wars from the Vietnam war. There are far more than meets the eye. Your posts just remind me what I read in papers. Keep it up.

Hazel Quinn: Thanks for stopping by and commenting.I've added u 2 my links.Thanks 4 encouraging us newbies!

~Hazel

(from a country really sucked into America's 'battles')

Holly: Hi Holly! Thanks so much for your very kind message on my tag board! It's always fun to meet a fellow Holly. :) Have you done some renovation on your site in the last few months? I seem to remember seeing your site a while back, but it had a different look. (I'm guilty of lurking without saying hello - shame on me! :P ) Your site looks great, and it's got lots of cool links!

Aliens Among Us?

I was just surfing the journal community when I came across this new blog (link opens new window/tab). Now, as a rule, I try really hard not to be judgmental or make fun of what people believe, but this post was just too funny to me. I'm sure the blog author honestly believes what he's saying, but I can't help but laugh. The idea is just so ludicrous to me - and, it refers to something taught specifically by Jehovah's Witnesses - that we're all going to be sucked into a black hole, and I just can't stop laughing.

I'm not saying I don't believe in UFO's - as a matter of fact, I do believe in them. I'm also not saying that human beings don't have communication with extraterrestrial beings, because I believe some people do have contact. I've just never seen someone do what this particular blogger has done, is all. And honestly, I think more people are starting to understand that the Mayan prophecies about 2012 are not literal; they aren't saying the planet is going to be blown up or something, they're talking about a mass shift in consciousness that's going to change the world as we know it.

But, visit the blog for yourself, and form your own opinions. If nothing else, at least this blogger has gained some free publicity, so there ya go.

Have a great day and a great weekend, everyone, and watch out for flying saucers!
