guest_easterner : Some people are like slinkys: not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.
Guest_3672 : Happy 4th everybody!!!
tanuxazhid :
Marcus : I'd like to see some substantiation on that claim 2724. I have never been to a local fireworks stand that offered prohibited fireworks.
jythlkedl;rg :
Guest_2724 : Guest_64, it is legally permisable to buy the aerials and crackers in town, the display, and useage of them in state is not allowed.
Marcus : List of Independence Day activities. «link» Normally I wouldn't post up a link to my blog...but I know what the turnaround time on new posts is around here. Hopefully Joe(s) will understand!
Guest_398 : Guest_2886...See the post from the Post Register news on the post about reserving spaces this fourth.
Guest_2886 : DO> I meant how soon do folks start roping off spots. Eh-scuse me.
Guest_2886 : How soon to folks start roping off spots? I could use some new rope.
Marcus : No. If you try to, I'll pull your stakes up.
Guest_588 : can you reserve spots this year?
Guest_588 : can you reserve spots
Guest_588 : so can you reserve seats or not?
Guest_9 : agreed...we...al l races and gender...need to enjoy our differences...no t tear each other apart...Peace
Alice : I find the linked site hilarious (and yes, I'm white). I wish people would lighten up and quit worrying about so much political correctness. That would be a good article. Why can't we all just see the humor in people?
Guest_9 : I have not had the chance to read it all the way through...so, not sure if you will find anything that could be offensive...sorr y in advance if that may be the case
Guest_9 : «link» this is too funny/really
jhdgfuety :
Joe Plumber : New post this morning.
Guest_4318 : USE ALL CAPS TYPE TO HONOR BILLY MAYES
newru : nice
Joe Plumber : Newru, your post is now online.
Guest_2614 : A looooooooong freakin' time!
newru : how long does it take for a post to be approved?
Guest_3032 : Billy Mayes Family...Hurry, we now have casketts at only three easy payments of 19.95. But wait...If you call in the next five minutes, we will throw in flowers for free.
Guest_7334 : I'm going to miss Billy Mays trying to sell us worthless garbage at 2 or 3 in the morning. lol The Sham Wow guy will probably take over as the new pitch man.
Guest_3448 : Thanks. I had forgotten all about her. It took me a while to even remember who and what she played in.
Guest_4525 : gayle storm, the actress who died
Guest_3448 : who was the prominent actress from the 50/60's?
The Gadsden : So, guess that saying does work some times. Unfortunately, 2 groups of 3 in this case.
The Gadsden : 6th: Some prominent actress from the 50/60's.
The Gadsden : 5th: Billy Mays - the infomercial guy
The Gadsden : 4th: Michael Jackson
The Gadsden : 3rd: Farah Fawcett
The Gadsden : 2nd: Ed McMahon
The Gadsden : 1st, David Carradine - Kung Fu guy.
The Gadsden : You know the saying “it comes in three?” With Farah Fawcett and Jackson passing away, I’ve heard several asking who will be the third celebrity to die. Farah was the third and Jackson was the fourth.
Guest_64 : Thanks for the info. Strange they would ban those types of fireworks for the general public, but allow them for the large fireworks shows throughout the state. Their fireworks are more likely to start a fire than a bottle rocket or m-80 going off.
Marcus : And yes, they have things that go bang and fly (against the law in Idaho).
Marcus : Quicker to get to Alpine.
Guest_64 : on a lighter note; I've noticed the fireworks they sell here are quite lame. Does anyone know if you can get better fireworks in Wyoming? I was thinking of driving over to Jackson this Thursday. Would it be worth the drive for better fireworks?
Guest_64 : I think its kinda overkill considering he's in his mid 70s. But he deserves it imo
Guest_64 : Madoff gets 150 year sentence. Do you think thats too harsh, too light or just right?
Guest_64 : No more Billy Mays and his Oxy-Clean commercials.
Base : 9am according to the IF Chamber
Guest_2555 : Does anybody know when the IF parade officially starts this year? They keep tinkering with the start times.
Guest_3464 : Guest_76...I was just curious aboout the other site. I had no hidden agenda. If thats what you meant anyway.
Guest_76 : funny how every few months someone has to pop on and put down ifz, then something is said "about that other site" - sounds like a purposeful "plant" to me - then other blogs start saying "oh, they're talking about us again" - duh, b/c one of you keeps "checking" on ifz to stir things up - nothing changes with some people.......
Guest_4245 : guest_612...What is the other site?
Guest_64 : The site always slows down in the summer. At least it has the past 4 summers.
Guest_2614 : well anything that's 1st is obviously better, lol (ummm, yeah).
Guest_612 : and im loyal to this site because it more user freindly and it was the 1st
Guest_612 : i think this site has a more diverse conversation
Guest_612 : i check the other site too..its worse. no comments for days and only 3 or 4 people write anything
Guest_612 : when u see last comment over 24 hrs you know is a slow site
Guest_4525 : i dont check it that much now, it's really not doing much
Guest_612 : and sometimes make a smart a** comment
Guest_612 : yup but fine by me i only check every once in a whiile to see if any thing interesting is happening
Guest_4525 : yes, but it's pretty boring, it's like watching paint dry
Guest_612 : the new owner has been a very hands off person
Guest_612 : it never had many contributors to begin with
Guest_4525 : this site is seriously losing contributors, i think the liberals have had enough of the tirades of a few of the hardened right wingers
kinoman : «link» −-−-- прямые ссылки на фильмы с отличным качеством. :):):)
Guest_2614 : I prefer FSM to Moroni or Brother Joseph.
dj : (continued) HERE....IN THIS NATION...TODAY! My thanks to the men and women to keep this ideal alive here in IF...
dj : WHO CARES if the "Title of Liberty" may have been suggested by Captain Moroni? For me, in this context, I am grateful for the five ideals that liberty DOES stand for....
Guest_76 : and you are arguing about this because.....?
Guest_778 : According to the Declaration of Independence, Our liberty is ENDOWED by our creator. We are not titled to it. A title is something else entirely. Look the words up in the dictionary.
Guest_2614 : Ah, so "Title of Liberty" is LDS based. Figures.
Guest_1945 : might suprise you. Here is a link to an article about title of liberty. «link»
Guest_612 : your post made no sense to me so i searched out you..this is what i found
Guest_612 : «link»
Guest_1289 : «link»
Guest_1289 : The name "Title of Liberty" made no sense to me. So I did a search and here is what I found. No big surprise I guess.
Guest_76 : 4994 - we know who you are... whew, slow day, time to all start commenting again!
idhyougjdsyhfr :
DEVIL : good...goood....
GOD : life sucks, that I know-
Guest_4994 : Beware some. This site is considered a risk site, as the owner is not identified. According to CA Web Checker.
Guest_4525 : and have some respect for the children
Guest_4525 : you are sick sick people, have some respect for the dead
Guest_76 : and will end up huge pop stars and write mulit million dollar tell all books about life with MJ as a dad....
dataxcentr :
Guest_612 : hopefully they are young enough that with years of intense counseling they might not end up being serial killers
Guest_612 : his kids will be scared for life, living with that freak
Guest_76 : 3 kids, hopefully he took care of them before all the legal and financial battles
Guest_64 : He'll always be the king of pop. Hopefully his children will be taken care of. Didn't he declare bankruptcy not too long ago, which is why he had to go back on tour.
Guest_76 : MJ was only 50, so young no matter what you think of him.
Guest_76 : ooh, that's 4 - maybe there are 2 more quicks ones on the way−-−
Guest_64 : Plus Ed McMahon.....Holl ywood stars are dropping like flys lately
Guest_64 : David Carradine already died so that makes 3.
Guest_76 : so they say these things happen in threes, which star is next?
Guest_64 : dunno...
Guest_76 : did he use drugs?
Guest_64 : wonder if the stress of his 50 show comeback tour got the best of him? I didn't think he was that old.
Guest_76 : hey, I love that site, great for my "trash" break during a hard day!
Guest_64 : What's scary is, you reading TMZ!! lol
Guest_76 : Ah, just read it on TMZ, I hate it that site has more up to date stories than CNN.
Guest_64 : Micheal Jackson died too. Local news sites don't update their news.
