        are you a taurus? do we just attract these people? -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 14:18 5
        
        Yup. Funny isn't it? Also, to continue the theme. My mother is March 24, my daughter April 12 and me April 26 so we also do another mass birthday - pmb Dec 2, 14:24 4
        
        In my extended family, Feb 13 is my cousin's birthday. Feb 14 is my sister's birthday. Feb 15 is another cousin's birthday. Feb 18 is yet another... - Roger More Dec 2, 14:31
        
        that's weird, -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 14:27 2
        
        i forgot our birthdays are only one day apart... - El Fandie Dec 2, 14:29 1
        
        I dated a March, but never another April as far as I can remember, but I've always had a ton of friends and family with birthdays in April. - pmb Dec 2, 14:32

        i know, right? -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 14:08 3
        
        March is a boring month -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 14:16 2
        
        i don't think anyone i know is born in March. No-one. I have a slew of friends in Aug=Sept though. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 14:20 1

        cute. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 14:11 1
        
        i'm just not sure if it's smart to link his bday and xmas at all. then again, i am probably overthinking - kare Dec 2, 14:12

      - I cancelled my birthday this year, except for copious, copious cake. mmm, delicious, confectionary friend. how I love you. -- nm - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 14:06 2

  - attending. work, family, friends, whatever. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 14:00 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - thought you didn't have a bf. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:03
- (don't forget work functions) -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 14:00
- Logan's birthday... one. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 13:59
- babysitting for two, attending two, possibly throwing one. -- nm - kare Dec 2, 13:59 1
  - on, are we including family thingies too? add three. -- nm - kare Dec 2, 13:59
- 7, i think. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 13:59
I'm surprised Bery you haven't put up several themes and attached them to our accounts like Gmail. -- nm - Qale Dec 2, 13:57 7
- I am impressed that he changed the featured search as I requested in less than 30 seconds. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 13:58 1
  - When it's a good call, it's a good call. :) That one just required changing a little string, whereas skins would require a rebuild of portions -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 14:49
- yeah, what a slacker. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 2, 13:58 1
  - Well it's not that it's just that seems just like the type of thing he'd do. -- nm - Qale Dec 2, 13:59
- Too much work at the moment. I'm just manually changing the header jpg. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 13:58 1

Active deployment of US Army soldiers to expand to 20,000 troops within US borders by 2011 -- (link) - znufrii Dec 2, 13:56 22
- We get more security and more troops get to see their families. Win-win. -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 14:01 18
  - and you have active military troops performing domestic law enforcement duties. - znufrii Dec 2, 14:02 17
    - Hm. The opponents say it's for law enforcement, but the stated purpose is to be trained to respond to terrorist attack/catastrophe -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 14:06 8
      - and "to help with civil unrest and crowd control" -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 14:09 6
        
        Would it be correct to say, IYO, that this is what the National Guard is for? (that might be the better solution) -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 14:15 5
        
        no, the National Guard operates under the same legal restrictions. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:17
        
        exactly - znufrii Dec 2, 14:16 3
        
        trained? that's what I did for 3.5 years and they're better trained than the Army, which gets zero training for natural disasters. - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:19 2
        
        then is doesn't make much sense for the Army to be suddenly jumping into this role on a full time basis then, does it? - znufrii Dec 2, 14:21 1
        
        I don't know what they're up to. Our training program moved to NORTHCOM a year ago so this is not a new push by a long shot. - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:23
      - ok, that's night and day. the latter is what I did for 3.5 years and it is not law enforcement. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:07
    - you'd better buy more guns or they'll oppress you. -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 14:04
    - well, the article actually doesn't say that's what they'll be doing. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:03 6
      - From an earlier article -- (link) - znufrii Dec 2, 14:07 5
        
        that can be done legally. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:15 4
        
        doesn't mean I have to like it. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 14:17 3
        
        nor do I like the precedent of establishing a military command to deal with it, when a properly trained civil defense force would be just as capable -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 14:18 1
        
        Welcome to 2002. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:20
        
        it's what the NG did in New Orleans. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:18
- so much for Posse Comitatus. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 14:00
- Hawt was right! It's Obama's secret army! Except it's Bush's, and it ain't secret. -- nm - Mop Dec 2, 13:59 1
  - I bet they will actually be terminators, loyal to Dubya. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 14:00
Mara, have you heard from any of the rescues yet? -- nm - kelly Dec 2, 13:55 11
- I've heard from all but one of them. They said they don't have space for problem dogs at this time. (I truly believe it makes more sense to spend - mara Dec 2, 14:01 3
  - I agree with you -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 14:07
  - Hmmm... - kelly Dec 2, 14:05 1
    - we should link this during the next pro-breeding conversation. :( -- nm - kare Dec 2, 14:10
- I thought the decision had been made. I don't mean to be mean - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 13:58 6
  - i actually felt bad suggesting best friends on her facebook note, but i thought it may be worth it just in case she didn't know - kare Dec 2, 14:03 2
    - I was glad you made that suggestion. Coincidentally, my ex sent me a list of organizations, including that one, the next day. -- nm - mara Dec 2, 14:04 1
      - glad. and hugs and good thoughts. - kare Dec 2, 14:06
  - Considering that mara herself mentioned yesterday that she had been in contact with some rescue orgs, I think asking her here is fine. - kelly Dec 2, 14:01 2
    - I don't read every post. sorry. it just seemed very stark to me. perhaps I was reacting on a personal level - I wouldn't want to see a post like this - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 14:04 1
      - It's okay. No need to apologize. I do appreciate your consideration. My feelings are so ... in and out about this. Sometimes I'm really detached and - mara Dec 2, 14:09
I think I might nub off my office hours on friday. not tell anyone, not ask permission. just a full-on nub. your thoughts? -- nm - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 13:55 3
