SneakerNet, you may be thinking of the shooting in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Two boys took their grandfather's guns: 2 semi-automatic rifles, a bolt-action rifle and 4 handguns. Waiting outside the school, 1 boy pulled the fire alarm. They killed 4 kids and 1 adult. I am not sure that "Americans...

I don't quite understand your #3. It is my understanding that an uprising in 2011 resulted in the replacement of Saleh. Somalia is a failed state without any real central government. Yes, I am sure that there are lots of guns in Somalia. TXgolfer, my father's family were in this country before...

Let me quote the UK Guardian: "US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world - an average of 88 per 100 people. That puts it first in the world for gun ownership - and even the number two country, Yemen, has significantly fewer - 54.8 per 100 people." Is this Yemen? Do you want it to be...

My guess is that our national trauma over mass murders will always evolve into a polite, decline to discuss. Some will say that rural dwellers need guns because they are at a distance from law enforcement, etc. Some will say that urban dwellers need guns because they are in high crime areas. It...

If we have 88 guns for every 100 Americans, how many more guns would we need to have a safe country? Anti-tank rifles and landmines cannot be sold. Why assault rifles? I guess I have 2 hands so 2 semi-automatic handguns each firing 17 rounds in 10 seconds, or so. Or, 30 rounds . . .

Easier to buy a gun in Florida than to vote.

I listened to Silent Night today. It was unrecognizable for the 1st minute or so. Whether it sounded pleasant or not, it would be hard for me to say. It was an instrumental and wasn't offensive. No, I think that some music is really too subtle for me to appreciate. I tried to focus on something...

It was a different "King" :) in the link. A lot of people covered the song. B.B. King did too :) Grooveshark tells me.

Of course, the demand for fuel decreases with decreased travel miles by the trucking industry and those who transport natural resources and deliver our consumer products. Lower demand that isn't matched by lower supply should result in lower prices. Has anyone used the word "speculators" in...

Does this work? (It doesn't sound anything like what I remember but . . . that's okay): Click and if it works, put your headphones on :) .

Merry Christmas! . . . from a new alldeaf forum member. We used to make eggnog from eggs and cream and spices. No one trusts a raw egg anymore and I can certainly understand that. Drinking eggnog continued with the store-bought and, as a kid, I was completely happy to drink it without bourbon...

Something warm . . . and, something that I need . . . like socks, a new hat, a hug . . . wrapped, of course.

It snowed . . . . thinking about . . . eating too much!

Welcome, Defdeafgirl! Is that a Green Man as your avatar? Maybe I should have a Green Girl leaning on my fencepost! I'm semi-retired, married and at last check - severely hard of hearing. My son is shoveling snow for me this morning so . . . it isn't all bad ;).

Wow. No! I've never had surgery in my life. I had an IV in my arm once and nearly had a seizure . . . well, I was really sick. They'd have to sneak up and grab me . . . :Ohno: and, give me the drugs that would make me happy to have been grabbed. I've been compensating for 60 years!

Weeellll, Rockin'Robin - You certainly are a source for news from the states with legalized marijuana :). When do you think the people in Florida will be taking that big next step? I hope that Thomas, Dick and Mary there have better sense than to give it to people who weren't expecting to find...

Music was fairly important to me at one time, Kelsey. Then, I started wearing hearing aids. That just ruined if for me! It isn't as tho' I benefited much listening to it with the aids out. I thought I was just done with music about that time. Songs that I thought I knew and enjoyed, I no longer...

That would be a very quick loss of hearing, Joel. Of course, some folks have lost their hearing overnight. It must be a very difficult adjustment to make. I have been losing my hearing not over 11 months nor even 11 years. It seems like it's been about 10 times that long ;) . Adjusting to loss...

:) Oh, Baby! Switzerland. :wave:
