Well that's exactly what I am trying to say. That instead of even being a party at all. We should eliminate parties and just simply vote on the issues. So many people just vote for the democrat or republican. I don't feel that way seeing as I am neither democrat or republican.

that'll never happen though, there's too much money and crap tied up in parties. sure things would probably be better that way, but I don't think it'll ever happen. something needs to change, I think changing redistricting laws and fixing gerrymandering would help fix some things, but you have to get these laws through the same people that benefit from things being how they are now. it just won't happen.

It really makes me sad things can't change. I wish they would, one specifically that gives candidates a lot of money, oil and pharmaceuticals. I wish we could use a renewable energy like the freakin sun instead of oil and if we did not have so many policies tied up in the pharmaceuticals I might be cured from my diabetes, seeing as several people have been cured in Canada and India. Politics ug XD How's your day going?

politics are a mess! it's all about making the best of a really bad situation. we'll eventually need to focus on renewables unless we just continue to refuse and we all die because there goes all of our energy. oil will run out, but I don't have faith that humankind will even live long enough to see that end.

my day is going okay! My mom bought me a dragon fruit cactus so I'm kinda excited to grow that!

Another 100 maybe 200 years mankind will probably be gone

That's cool :O What does it look like?

yeah if we're lucky we'll make it that long :P

it looks like a normal cactus pretty much. mine is much smaller than this one. they can apparently grow to 20 ft tall

link because I know the image won't work

That's really pretty :D

I'm excited, I hope mine eventually grows fruit. my parents got one too. theirs is going to have red fruit and mine is going to have pink fruit.

That's awesome! Can you eat the fruit?

Yeah dragon fruit is supposed to be very good for you

That's neat I don't think I have ever had dragon fruit

I don't think I have either. I have heard it doesn't have much taste and tastes similar to other cactus fruit I think?

Got busy setting up the garage sale. I'm so pooped already!! :-P I dread tomorrow and hope I get rid of everything so I don't have to do it Saturday!

Politics suck and I could never vote Republican because of the hate so many of them spew. I'm not really crazy about the Democratic party either, but seems the lesser of the 2 evils. My dad was a ticket Republican his whole life, but ended up voting for Obama! I'm probably just left of center. :-D

good luck with the garage sale! :)

Aaaaand food poisoning D: I'm having some bad luck

aw hope you feel better soon D:

I did ok considering I didn't have much stuff. $53.00 lol And I need to make a run to donate the little bit of junk I have left!

I hope your Dragon Fruit does well!! Let us know if you get any fruit on it!!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?! I'm so sorry you're sick ! I've had it twice and it's the worst!! :-(

better than nothing! :P

it's still a small plant so unless it grows quickly, I doubt we'll get fruit on it until next year at the earliest

Exactly! And I don't have to worry about tomorrow! :-)

So in a year I'll need pics! ;-)

I keep forgetting to ask you, how are the kitties and Pokey are doing?

they're fine, Pokey still isn't as cuddly as the other two but he fits in with everyone pretty well.
