Ridiculous. They are plastic. Metal tubes. Fabric. We all have a skeleton inside of our bodies. My skeleton is similarly constructed to every human on this planet, regardless of skin color. Why do you think skeletons are scary? Might be a good time to teach your little people that they need not be afraid of a combination of metal, plastic and fabric. Side note: some kids are terrified of Santa. Should we make sure that the giant inflatable Santa that appears at the end of the Blvd never reappears?

That's where I saw the cycles with the skeletons on the back. One skeleton has a long wig and bikini on. And I saw them riding around DuBois this a.m. I had to laugh.

You posted your war. I posted my war.

Why?

Just goes to show you that some one is controlling her just like they have been controlling Joe. Get ready you are next. Wake up America , lock and load .

Don't drive down main street Falls Creek then.

We found out a reason. Since the last support increase, the cost of living has gone up and now it costs more to raise one kid than it did to raise two. At least that's the only excuse we've heard that sound even vaguely reasonable. My guess is that they're probably backed up with too few employees and don't want to take time to do the paperwork required to sort this out.

We did invest in a portable and we love it!! It is very quiet, no serious installation problems, and once it got our living area (kitchen, living room, entry way and dining room) down to a decent temperature at the end of the big heat wave, it is great! I have no wall space on which to install one mini-split let alone the two that would be the minimum to heat/cool our house. Then there's the electric bill. We're on Unilec and our bills already run higher than normal. The relative silence after the big window unit is a blessing. Anyone want to buy a great window unit?

The reason it can never be solved is because the Ishmaelites (radical historic Arabs) do not even want the land, they simply want every Jew and born again Christian in the world dead. Otherwise Satan cannot move himself above God. It is unsolvable till Jerusalem calls out for Messiah, and that's biblical. They will not do that till they are on their last legs.

Hey Kamala, they are CANABALS >>>

Fedup, with all due respect - I've read just about every post from Steve's Great Awakening Blog from the very beginning. I research on my own as well. I sooo appreciate all the work Steve does to educate us during these trying times. I don't understand why some people act as if they haven't got a clue. For a change of pace I enjoy reading the variety of subject matter from everyone. I thought mine was one of those. Bringing politics here is unnecessary. This war we are in is not about politics or anything else in the mainstream news. We are watching this play out just like in the movies. This war is about Good (God, Light, Beauty) vs. evil (satan, darkness, ugly). GOD WINS! PARTY COMING SOON!

Millions of people are going to vote for something worse than a holiday decoration. That scares me more than a skeleton. PARTY ON

I'm not a fan of the skeletons at all either. Hate to say it, but a lot of kiddos have worse decorations for Halloween at their very own homes. Wait til everyone sees the motorcycle in the area riding around with the fake skeleton sitting on the back passenger seat. I saw it the other day.

Oh, by the way ...
