What is a right?
What about these new so-called “rights” the government should be giving us: food, health care, home ownership - being born is coming with more and more perks. We saw where the home ownership idea went. What do you think?
Post Turtle & Candidates
~While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, whose hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to one of the political candidates.
~The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, that candidate is a 'Post Turtle'".
~Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.
~The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'".
~The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain.
~"You know they didn't get up there by themselves, they don't belong up there, and they don't know what to do while they're up there, and you just wonder what kind of dummy put them up there to begin with".

Instead of an Amazing Race…
Let’s have The Florida Amazing Experience
1. All stops are in Florida.
2. All sites must be of significance and no stopping at mile markers or in the middle of nowhere.
3. You may crisscross the state but you cannot revisit a place that we have already been.
4. Let’s see if we can visit every county.
5. Post pictures if you know how.

Facts about the month of October
October is the tenth month of the year. October was the 8th month in the early Roman calendar. October has had 31 days since the time of the Roman emperor Augustus.
The first frost usually happens in October in the North Temperate Zone. Leaves change to their brilliant colors, and begin to fall, making the ground a beautiful haven of color. The farmers have to finish harvesting of the crops, but winter isn't here yet. The cold won't stay. In fact, we will still have warm days ahead.
Most birds have left for the south by the first frost, but the sparrows love the weather. They are seed eaters, and eat many weed seeds that would otherwise damage the next field crops.
Farmers bring in the last of the fall crops and either store or ship them to other parts of the world. In some parts, apples and grapes are still on the trees and vines. Many apples are harvested at the end of October.

What do you want from 40+?
I posted this as a reply to another thread. I decided to do it as a stand alone also. Now is the time to speak up. The members need to decide the future of the group. Here is what I wrote.
I'd like to see us agree to two things this group was founded upon, and make Blaz's life much easier. (She is serious about wanting to pass on the wand guys and I don't want to see the group disappear.)
When we were started I thought there were two things understood. One, that no one would be banned (booted) unless they violated the TOU's. Two if you post it you own it on 40+--no deletions or requests for deletions again unless it violates the TOU's.
If that is still what this group favors (and I believe it's still in our group message) lets try to stick to it. A moderators life will be far less stressful and we might just be able to keep her and keep the group.
Thanks MB, I like reading everyone's viewpoints here too. I can't say I change my mind very often (old and stubborn maybe?) but there have been times I've switched sides when someone "showed me the light". Let's please keep that light shining.
