The "Totally Off Topic" Thread

[Taximom]

Oh please don't bring this up again - I just about died - I stopped watching when things other than the red hankie started disappearing - Scandi was innocent about this though, she got the link sent to her, thought as you it was a magic thing and did not view it before she posted it - she had no idea what it was. So go easy on her about it pretty please?

What I hate about the internet is that tone is often misconstrued. I was smiling the whole time I typed that. I'm not giving her a hard time, at least I didn't think so! I know Scandi is sweet and loveable, and know she wouldn't harm a fly. We love to watch magic here, and I was just surprised by this particular show, that's all!

Scandi/raisincharlie, please don't take my words the wrong way!:blowkiss:

I have to run so don't take my absence as anything other than I've got to do stuff with the kids and get some stuff done around the house!

Any star watchers here.


Tomorrow 10 December a rare event will occur. Planets Jupiter, Mercury, and Mars will appear in the eastern sky so close together that you can see all three of them. At approximately 6:46 am EST is the best time to view this - due east. Jupiter will be in the middle with Mercurt and Mars to either side. I saw this this morning while hacking out a horse. It will also be visible on Monday morning at approximately the same time just not as bright. None of these will twinkle as they are not stars. Enjoy.

For those in other time zones - back track 5:46 am CST, 4:46 MST. and 3:46am PST.

I'll take your word for it RC! 1. The time and 2. It's probably going to be very overcast here. It must be quite a sight! How often does this occur, do you know?

This is interesting! Wonder when we'll be lined up for this (that's if the clouds disappear!). This might sound DUMB ... as I know very little about Stars ... but I wonder if, when Jesus was bord, these stars were lined up then and that's why everyone saw a Bright Star above Bethlehem?....

Another date on December 10th is that is it that HIDEOUS Chris Porco's sentencing date :razz: ... so let's see what he gets for bludgeoning his father to death and for injuring his mother so badly! Must go dig up that thread tonight.

There's a great "thinking" poster very much into this Porco's case, SheerLuck ... will be interesting if anyone was watching over there!

Husband and Girlfriend charged in relation to death of murdered woman (not Michelle, which is why this is here...but good news for her case).

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. -- A Rocky Mount man and his alleged girlfriend were arrested Saturday in connection with the shooting death of his wife.


Mark Bowling, 35, and Rose Parker Vincent, 27, of Middlesex, were charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of 45-year-old Julie Bowling, who was found dead inside the garage of the Bowlings' home Friday morning.

Since when did it become more trendy to kill your spouse rather than divorce? What are these idiots after? Free Rent?

 

[PolkSaladAnnie]

Morning Sami! Whhoo ... I read that article earlier - disgustin, eh?

This is getting freaky. Gosh, I mean is there some kind of lunatic mindet reaching epidemic levels that some people engage "get out of the marriage" as "get rid of the wife permanently"?

Is it about money? Ego? Hatred? Cowardice? Beggars belief.
