twerp13, I think what you're referring to is the Zanadoo home. That was made of foam or something. It was circular in shape and futuristic.
On Church visioning programs put focus on faith
Posted on October 8 at 7:16 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
I noticed in the survey, the congregation was asked what they wanted from their pastor and church. I believe an important "missing" part is what can the congregation do for their pastor and church. It takes everyone working together to make things work. Bless you for continuing on, searching souls and tending to the hearts of everyone. May God bless you and your congregation and community.

I belong to a church where everyone is welcomed. You can come in jeans, torn if you must, shorts, dirty clothes, whatever you have. You are excepted just the way you are. It's the heart that needs tending to. Our church doesn't "demand" payment. You give what and when you can. Many people have been turned off by churches because of the many "rules" and I certainly understand that. But, there are churches out there that don't demand these man-made rules. There is something to be said on tithing (10%) but that's between God and you. I think it's wonderful these people are meeting and are hearing the word of God. Yes, there are Christians that drink. There's nothing wrong with that, it's the drunkenness that's wrong. I hope that this church is a success and saves souls. God Bless.
On Families debate lawsuit against Whitewater schools
Posted on September 29 at 7:33 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
My children went to Whitewater schools. One of them had problems with some hispanic kids, but I'm not one of those parents who claim my child does no wrong. It came from both sides. I didn't agree with the way the school handled some situations (Mrs. Kindwall in particular - if anyone knows her) but I certainly never considered suing the school district. Racism goes both ways. I guess I could have screamed racism when the hispanic kids got away with some of their crap. Now, not all hispanics are bad, of course but the few that are, make a bad name for many.

Whatever happened to using a map?????
On To the man in front of me in the checkout line:

The post office in my city has a sign that tells people not to be on their cell phones when approaching the counter. Basically, no service until you get off the phone. Perhaps service people should just walk away or do something else and they might get the point. I don't own a cell phone but I do use my husbands. Also, people driving while talking, it annoys me! Sometimes they don't know the light changed or they think they are suppose to stop, etc. Stupid people. I really wish they would outlaw them for driving. I know regulating that would be difficult but it might help.
On Marine fighting Whitewater for repair costs

theone - is correct. If this had happened to an ordinary citizen, you wouldn't be hearing about it like this story. Also, to mymaro's comment about if it happened to a city employee, etc. It has and they are taking responsibility, not going after the city. That's how it works. And, it has nothing to do with possibly losing their job or whatever else anyone might come up with. This does happen, and unfortunately, citizens need to deal with it. So many people are sue happy.

I don't believe a sewer backup would cause foundation damage. Also, cities receives claims every year for different things and not too many of them pay out. It will be tough for him to prove the city is negligent. I do feel terrible for him. I would hope family or friends would help out with the clean up.
On Teddy Kennedy - REAL person!
Posted on August 30 at 2:33 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
No, Ted Kennedy wasn't perfect. But he did do something many of us won't or ever be able to do. And that was to fight for many of our rights/freedoms we have today. I'm sure he has always remembered his drunk driving accident. I'm sure God has forgiven him. If some haven't, that's their burden. Some call him a drunk, who knows. I believed he learned from his mistake. I can't imagine all the perfect people out there who point fingers at anyone that has made a mistake or two..... We all have our opinions and I think that's great, I really do. From what I have heard/read and watched about Ted Kennedy, though he may have been rich, not the perfect personn, he still fought for us to have a better life. Doesn't matter what anyone thinks, it's a fact. He didn't have to do it, he wanted to and loved to. God Bless Teddy!

On Korean War veterans recount time in service
Posted on November 12 at 1:09 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
My dad serviced a couple of years in the Korean War with his twin brother. They were from Delavan. I never talked to him about this war. Wished I did. He passed away in 2000. He was a Marine. I proudly display his picture with his uniform in my living room.
