Every so often you get an ‘urban legend’ e-mail. This is NOT the case here!
I’m getting a lot of hits about Rebekah Tauber, so anyone interested in this TRUE story should take a look here for more information:

While you’re stopping by here, leave a comment, and tell us where you’re from and how you originally received information on Rebekah.
Bob Congdon beats me to the punch in this blog entry about Tim Burton’s remake of ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. The original movie was called ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’ but the book was called ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. It is supposed to be closer to the book than the first movie. Based on this movie poster, it looks that way.
Many of you have downloaded the Beta 2 release of ND7 by now. Some of you might even be using it on their servers, blogs, etc.. So, with that being said, “Riddle me this, Batman…”:
What features do you like in ND7? What items make you go, “Ohhhhh” and “Ahhhhh” like you’re watching fireworks?
This is a call out to all of the friends of the Pridelands:
Rebekah Tauber is a 15 year old from Houston who is presently undergoing cancer treatment. She is a fierce Christian who attends Memorial High School. Rebekah is wearing a “prayer pager” (1-800-250-6939) that is being sponsored by Second Baptist Church in Houston.
Please take a minute out of your busy day to say a quick prayer for Rebekah, her family and her doctors asking for God’s guiding hand to be with them through this ordeal and then call the toll free number (1-800-250-6939). It will vibrate letting Rebekah know that someone has prayed on her behalf.
Feel free to pass this email on and thanks for your support and prayers.
Call…. it just takes a second or two!
This has been verified by Snopes, plus I actually did this. I don’t know this girl, but if my prayers can help her, and a toll-free call to a pager will make her feel loved (and maybe better), then I’m in!
Take a moment out of your day and let this girl know that we care in the Pridelands! Thanks!
Once again, thanks to Greyhawk68 for bringing this to my attention:
| You Are a “Don’t Tread On Me” Libertarian |
 You distrust the government, are fiercely independent, and don’t belong in either party. Religion and politics should never mix, in your opinion… and you feel opressed by both. You don’t want the government to cramp your self made style. Or anyone else’s for that matter. You’re proud to say that you’re pro-choice on absolutely everything! |
Oh, and in case you haven’t tried this one yet, here’s The World’s Smallest Political Quiz!

It looks like I will NOT be one of the many attendees to Lotusphere 2005. I’m pretty bummed out about it. It looks like the only way I’ll make it is if one of the abstracts I wrote gets picked.
I have much more to say about this, but the public nature of my site prevents me from saying more.
Oh well, I guess I’m learning everything secondhand….
I took something called ‘The World’s Smallest Political Quiz’ and discovered that I was a Libertarian. Last night, I went to a meeting of the Libertarian Party of Wayne County and was welcomed with open arms. They are a wonderful group of men and women who want to get government off of our backs and out of our pockets. I will be joining the party officially next week. If you want to know more about the Libertarian Party, check out their site at lp.org.
To my Libertarian brethren, thank you for welcoming me. I look forward to working with you all!
OK, John Kerry fought a hard battle with President George W. Bush. The people have decided. Kerry conceded. Time to move on.
Let’s start to work together. Enough ‘Doom and Gloom’ for me. Time to look forward to a positive future.
I purposely did NOT make any sort of indication on how I voted in this election. Many people who know me believe they know how I voted, and to them I say this… I never like to be predictable, so if you think I voted Republican or Democrat or Libertarian, you’re right! Just keep thinking what you do about me. Keep thinking you know how I think. Now that we have that solved…
…LET’S MOVE ON!!!
My nephew is in Spain for school, and missed probably the best game between Michigan and Michigan State in the world…last Saturday, October 30, 2004! If anyone has it taped, I would be extremely grateful if I could get a copy. Leave me a reply if you can hook me up.
