Imagine that.
I agree though, hard for others to live around the "sign drama" regardless of what side of the fence you are on.
Nice chatting with you tonight, Mary.

I used to have bumper stickers that read "Eve was framed" and "Happy Naked Pagan Dance." One day my son and I were walking towards our car and there was a couple putting their groceries in their car parked next to mine. The husband (I assume husband but who knows) looked at my bumper and said in disgust, "Angry women." Then he looked up and saw me.

I smiled big. "Hi there!" I said. He put his head down and scurried to his car door.

Silly people.

Couldn't help but responding to this post after a long hiatus from reading any blogs, much less posting on mine.

I'm kind of out of shape, but here goes...

We proudly display our "No on Prop 8" and Obama/Biden signs in our front yard.

For the non-California readers (and if I missed a comment explaining this elsewhere, skip the rest of this sentence), Prop 8 is the measure that, if passed, will amend the state constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman.

AS IF this issue belongs in the state constitution!!!! POR FAVOR!!!!! I mean, for heaven's sake, if you think gay marriage is a sin (as most,if not all, of the proponents of this proposition believe), leave it to God to handle that.

Today, we came home and our "No on Prop 8" sign was turned around so the only people who could see it were those sitting out on our front porch. Odd. Most of the folks I know who have something happen to their lawn signs have found them missing.

So........ Tonight, I walked around the corner and down the street to my in-laws' house for a visit. One of the houses on the way sported a McCain/Palin and "Yes on Prop 8" sign in the front yard.

I had always enjoyed being on a quiet street in the very back of our neighborhood. For once, I envied the folks in this house on the main drag into the neighborhood. More people see their signs than ours.

Now bear with me on the rest of this, as it may not seem relevant. Just hang in until the end. I just think what leads up to it is cool.

On the way home, I met for the first time a family on that main drag. They were getting out of a brand new van specially equipped for it's owner with a wheelchair ramp and hand controls. She and her young daughter (probably 5 years old) were listening intently to the social worker's instructions about how to use the automatic ramp.

The ramp was blocking the sidewalk, so it was a great opportunity for me and my son to introduce ourselves to the family. We chatted a bit, and then parted ways.

As they walked/rode to the house next door to where the van was parked, I heard a male voice from inside their house yell, "I hope you parked in front of the 'Yes on 8' sign!"

I smiled and felt a little better - as if somewhere out there in karmaland, the scales were balanced.

I wonder if she can be sure her van is parked in front of the lawn signs there every day until the election.......

I always wonder when I see those "Marriage=One man+One woman" signs, if the people banging them into Mother Earth's skin realize how much hatred they have within them. It's kind of sad. I understand fiscal conservative Republicans, that's different. I don't always agree with their priorities, but I see their POV; social conservatives, however, ...give me a break.

It's so funny how they run around yelling "Get the government off of my property and out of my life. I'll do a better job on my own." UNTIL two people fall in love and *gasp* they don't look exactly like the Republican couple, or a woman accidentally gets pregnant despite her best efforts not to while still being in a committed intimate relationship,and THEN we hear "GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION!!", "AMEND THE CONSTITUTION!", "These people are ruining my life and they are going to ruin yours, too. They're dangerous."

The hateful, self-righteous hypocrisy makes me sick to my stomach. So I put up my own signs for love, hope, and acceptance and the candidates that I think hold the same perspectives, and put rainbow diversity stickers on my car and hope someone out there feels the love and that it balances out the hate from the other side of the street. That's kind of all one can do. Spread the love and vote.

What am I like? Well let’s just say I LOVE skinny dipping in your pool when you’re not home. Remember last week how you found those pink thong Speedos next to the filter? -MINE! I would tell you more but I don’t want to incriminate myself.

Anytime you want to stop by let me know. I’m usually home on Fridays shaving... my back & chest.

See you soon. (leave Mark home)

Hey, if Republican'ts can make all sorts of nasty assumptions about Democrats, I can do it too.
