Purlewe!

Just for those of my friends who love to find out what is up with my aunt's farm.

They had another bouncing baby cow this weekend. I've suggested the name Angus. (cos I am bad like that)

Dolly has slipped a disc and she isn't walking. But she is alert and eating. So they are taking a wait and see approach. (Dolly is the llama mama of Madison)

just an fyi to my lj addicted friends

this year my partner and I got married. If we lived in CA if would be legal.. unless they overturn in this November election. All it takes is a few states to get the ball rolling so that states like mine will make it legal too. You need to pass this around. Let your friends and family know that Proposition 8 on CA ballot should be a BIG NO!!! Make gay marriage legal. So that some day my sweety and I can have another party and tell people that we have the same rights that others do when they marry.

I need you to:
-talk about proposition 8.
-talk about how it would try to invalidate the legal standing of same-sex marriage - my marriage.
-and talk about how it would write discrimination into the california state constitution.
-register to vote.
-vote no on 8 in november.

When I hear the word "maverick" used I think of my high school. We were the McCutcheon Mavericks. And frankly, I don't like thinking about my high school when I think about the president.

Thank you naomi for pointing this one out.

If you hadn't heard.. here are some of the newest scams to get you to part with your personal info.

There are two relatively new phishing schemes that are starting to show up in this area. Please read the below, and use it as a reminder to NEVER provide personal information to solicitors, and to NEVER click on any links if you are not sure where the link is going or why you received it.

The first is a method called a "vishing" attack which is carried out over the phone. Victims will receive a call from a person claiming to be from the office that oversees jury duty. The person will tell you that you failed to show up for jury duty and now a warrant is out for your arrest. The caller expects you to protest that you never received the summons. After you protest, the caller will indicate that you can be rescheduled but you will have to verify your identification. The information requested usually includes your Social Security number, date of birth, driver's license number and address.

The second method is referred to as spear phishing. A spear phishing exploit is targeted towards specific persons, typically in highly visible positions. These attacks use publicly available information about potential victims to build an attack plan. The way this attack works is you will receive an official looking e-mail message (containing personal information about you) claiming that a federal investigation has turned up evidence of wrongdoing on your part and you are now being served a warrant. The email will request that you to click on a link for information about the warrant. Once you click on the link, a Trojan (virus) will be loaded onto your computer and used to capture information such as your passwords and personal data.

the new Chip Kidd book is out and well.. I just read a magnificent paragraph.

She was typing again. Now, obviously she was a stranger to me, but I already suspected that even if I were to lie on the floor in front of her with a meat axe growing out of my head, in a pool of my own hot homoglobin, the probability of Miss Preech calling an ambulance would be remote in the extreme- much less a cab, right now... I rang one for myself from the corner payphone.

This is as good as the Cheese Monekys. And yes Jackie, I brought it for you.

from the christian right afa:
Procter & Gamble has resumed using explicit, open-mouth homosexual kissing in their soap opera, "As the World Turns." P&G decided to include this type of content as a commitment to "diversity." P&G stopped showing such scenes some months ago, but has now decided to again help promote the homosexual agenda which includes homosexual marriage.

Gay activists are hopeful that the P&G effort will desensitize viewers to the homosexual lifestyle and help make the unhealthy and immoral lifestyle more acceptable to society, especially to children and youth.

View a scene [link removed] from the April 23, 2008 episode by P&G. WARNING – content is repulsive!

"As the World Turns" is owned and controlled completely by P&G. No network made this decision. P&G alone made the decision to support the homosexual agenda.
i could careless about as the world turns itself. but this crap by the afa needs to be stopped.

here's something simple you can do. please do it.
P&G is conducting a phone poll to see if people are for or against the Luke/Noah storyline on As The World Turns. Even if you don't watch the show, please a moment to thwart homophobic bigotry. The poll is completely automated. You don't have to talk to anyone. And it takes all of a second to register your opinion.

Call 1-800-331-3774. Press #1 to continue in English (or #2 for Spanish) (you may or may not get that question, so listen to the menu). Then select the option to answer the ATWT poll, please support the Luke/Noah storyline.
