If the Palestinians keep it up they won't need to worry about forming a unity government-- there won't be anyone left if they keep killing each other!

At least they are killing each other, better for the rest of us.

I like the folks here. I like learning, and I've learned a few things despite reading no links but doing my own searches. I am stubborn, but I do like finding my own info because I'm afraid links are biased. Still, doing like twenty projects and the husband told me to pace myself. I told him that I was, running. So going to have focus on a few now because of the Masters and my son's college graduation stuff. I hope everyone continues to write, and I will some, and remain open. We need solutions, not hate.

The car bomb, I am so sad for the Palestinian person killed. It is a deep sadness because everyone is a contributing person. People kidnapped are sad too, and happily one bomb was stopped. My plan tomorrow is to go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy or put out my spring flowers, so I feel a little guilty. Also it's still gets cold, so I need to wait a week or two. I wish all the missiles and bombs would stop. As a higher being, a human person, we should be able to accomplish it.
