'CINDY ASHLEY MILLER's blog/

Last week i deleted my own account on FLICKR as a direct result of my friends disappearing before my very eyes, due to the FLICKR "POLICE" policy of deleting members' accounts WITHOUT WARNING and WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION....while i, myself, was NOT deleted, TOO MANY OTHERS WERE....and just think of all the time and effort friends had put into their sites....morale on FLICKR among members is at an ALL-TIME LOW, and many openly criticize this "NO QUESTIONS ASKED" DELETION POLICY right on the site....FLICKR HAS BECOME A VERY UNPLEASANT PLACE TO HANG OUT....SOOOOOOO, HERE I AM....i cannot wait to meet you all and share some FUN....XOXO, CINDY....

....I have been on this site for only 36 hours, and i find something that's hard to believe....you ALL have been so sweet to me since i joined....your emails and comments make me feel soooo welcome, that i feel like an "old-timer" here, already....i have always considered myself as "GOOFY, LITTLE CINDY"....but you see me as SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL....and i thank you all SO MUCH 4 THAT....XOXO, Cindy....

....Just wondering if u would be willing to pay $4000 MORE to purchase a hybrid car....EVEN if u KNEW that you could NEVER recoup the extra cost of the car, despite savings from lower gasoline consumption???....

....as a result of FOREIGN INVESTMENT???....the weak U.S. DOLLAR has put AMERICA'S assets on sale at BARGAIN PRICES....some say foreign investment makes America STRONGER, because the country receives a much-needed "infusion" of capital, required to maintain the economy....others, however, feel that foreign investment "DILUTES" America's strength and sense of "SELF-DETERMINATION"....HOW DO U FEEL???

While i do NOT consider myself to be a "NOSEY" person....and i do NOT enjoy treading into others' personal lives....and i DO believe that we all require our own personal space....nevertheless, i DO find it fascinating when others are willing to reveal personal "bits & pieces" about their personal lives, which allow us to gain a better understanding of their character and psyche....SO....without mentioning ANYTHING ILLEGAL or DISGUSTING....what are YOUR PERSONAL OBSESSIONS???

I have noticed much discussion regarding this topic....on TV, among my friends, etc....i absolutely feel that the media IS having a "LOVE AFFAIR" with Obama...after all, he is NEW on the scene, so he is a "FRESH FACE"....and the media ADORES FRESH FACES....CAN THE MEDIA BE OBJECTIVE IF IT IS "IN LOVE" WITH SOMEONE???....HOW DO U FEEL???

For many years now, i have had a total obsession with the world of stocks, bonds, and all things ECONOMIC....we all know what a "TERRIBLE" time we are going thru, in the midst of this US economic recession....i am very curious about how my friends and fellow IPERNITY MEMBERS are coping with this depressing situation....and what SPECIFIC THINGS we are doing to survive it....

....that is my conclusion regarding the Republican party in the upcoming US presidential election....and many elections in the past, as well....as a matter of fact, Republicans are the MASTERS of this exact strategy....and the uninformed public ALWAYS seems to fall for it....usually, though not always, the Republicans will use a diversionary tactic as a means of de-emphasizing the really IMPORTANT issues of the campaign....the ridiculous "lipstick on a pig" controversy is their current "diversionary tactic"....so as to de-emphasize the Iraq War, health care, the lousy econony, etc....all issues on which the Republicans are very vulnerable....

....please be considerate....i don't wish to delete any responses....Cindy

There is no disputing the fact that AMERICA'S image around the world has SERIOUSLY deteriorated over the past 8 years....What do you feel the US must do....under it's new, incoming president....to remedy this depressing situation??? I ask this, because i feel that ALL "THINKING" AMERICANS share my concern....OR SHOULD....

....Being a CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT (CPA) and a FUTURE ATTORNEY, it is painfully obvious to me that neither Obama nor McCain have a true understanding of how our economy really functions....their economic rehtoric is designed to win votes ONLY....their understanding of the economy is MUCH TOO SHALLOW to make either of them capable of providing solutions or designing improvements....the current FINANCIAL CRISIS is FAR FROM OVER....

IMPORTANT UPDATE....On September 17-18, the U.S. financial markets came within a "speck of dust" of COMPLETE and UTTER MELTDOWN and COLLAPSE....and ALL FOREIGN MARKETS followed....

BearStearns, IndyMac, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, AIG....WHO'S NEXT??? NOW WE KNOW THE ANSWER....WASHINGTON MUTUAL....WACHOVIA....

....and how important a factor do you believe she will be??? As much as i HATE to admit it....i believe the Republicans came up with a "stroke of genius" without even realizing it....We Democrats don't know how to effectively attack her....we don't know how to debate her....we don't know how to respond to her....and we dems seem to be setting ourselves up in that "circular firing squad" formation again....the Republicans MAY not even need to steal votes this time, in order to taste victory... ;-(

IMPORTANT UPDATE....THIS THREAD IS "INACTIVE"....THE FINANCIAL RESCUE PLAN IS NOW LAW....IT PASSED BY A MARGIN OF 263 TO 171 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND BY 74 TO 25 IN THE SENATE, AND WAS SIGNED INTO LAW BY THE PRESIDENT ON 10/3/08....THANK GOODNESS....

....DO YOU HAVE A 401K PLAN???........DO YOU HAVE AN IRA???........DO YOU WANT TO SEND YOUR KIDS TO COLLEGE???.......DO YOU EVER HOPE TO GET A MORTGAGE, CREDIT CARD, HOME IMPROVEMENT LOAN.....OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF LOAN???....I COULD GO ON AND ON....IF YOU ANSWERED "YES" TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS, YOU WOULD BE COMMITTING "ECONOMIC SUICIDE" BY OPPOSING THE CURRENT ECONOMIC RESCUE PLAN.....THIS IS NOT A WALL STREET BAIL-OUT PLAN....IT IS A MAIN STREET BAIL-OUT PLAN....

....YOU WOULD BE "CRYING"....AND BLAMING CONGRESS....IF YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN'S CURRENT VALUE DECLINED BY 75 TO 90 PER CENT....THAT IS JUST ONE CONSEQUENCE OF NOT PASSING THIS CURRENT PLAN....WHAT IF THE U.S. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE ROSE FROM THE CURRENT 6.1 PER CENT TO 20 OR 25 PER CENT....DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD ENJOY THAT???....TOTAL ECONOMIC COLLAPSE IS NOT PRETTY....JUST ASK ANYONE WHO WAS AROUND DURING THE 1930'S....

....IN 2007, AS A COLLEGE UNDERGRADUATE IN CONJUNCTION WITH MY GRADUATION THESIS, I SPENT 4 MONTHS INTERVIEWING PEOPLE IN THEIR 90'S, WHO HAD ACTUALLY LIVED THRU "THE GREAT DEPRESSION" OF THE 1930's....THEIR REAL-LIFE, DAY-TO-DAY EXPERIENCES AND MEMORIES OF THIS ERA WOULD SEND SHIVERS DOWN YOUR SPINE....IT DID MINE....

....Over the past few weeks, i have been judiciously questioned by at least 2 older male contacts, as to a young, single woman's reasons and motivations for sharing pics with others, on this site....i sincerely do not feel that ANY young, single woman owes an explanation to ANY older male, regarding this topic....i would think that the ANSWER is SELF-EXPLANATORY....I AM SORRY THAT I MUST BE SO EMPHATIC, but i sincerely am growing tired of this apparent new "trend" in questioning....BTW....here's a question for "THOSE FEW" older males....WHY ARE YOU HERE???....is it to SEE the BARE TITS and PU**IES of those SAME YOUNG, SINGLE WOMEN, who you BADGER WITH YOUR IDIOTIC, RHETORICAL, PSYCHO-ANALYTICAL QUESTIONS???....seems to me the answer to THAT question is SELF-EXPLANATORY, AS WELL ...."SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS" SUCKSSSSS....

....BUT SHE'LL NEED TO ADD U AS A "FRIEND" FIRST....SHE IS SOOOOOO COOOOOOOL....HERE'S THE LINK....

....LET'S HAVE SOME FUN....FOR A CHANGE....

PALIN IS SOOOOO HOT.... 9.7 .... SHE HAS GORGEOUS EYES, AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SKIN....NOTICE HOW "OPEN-MINDED" THIS DEMOCRAT CAN BE???

,,,,even REPUBLICANS cannot justify this....IMHO....McCain's choice of PALIN illustrates his LACK OF SOUND JUDGMENT....as a man with over 25 years of political experience, McCAIN SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER....POOR JUDGMENT, i say....EXTREMELY "RISKY" CHOICE....

....I received the following email from Body of Nature....and it scares me....for an obvious reason....PALIN....

Cindy,

Friday in the New York Times Page A7 is a full page ad from 2,768 physicians calling on Senator McCain to issue a full, public release of his medical records. McCain has been diagnosed with invasive melanoma, which could recurr at any time, and be debilitating or fatal. An open letter from doctors across the country:

"John McCain has not released his medical records to the public. McCain is 72 years old, and has been diagnosed with invasive melanoma. In May of this year a small group of selected reporters were allowed to review 1,173 pages of McCain's medical records and were allowed only three hours to do so. John McCain's health is an issue of profound importance. We call on John McCain to issue a full, public disclosure of all of all his medical records, available for the media and members of the general public to review."

Cindy... a scary issue... especially considering an incompetent Palin is the VP candidate.

YOUR COMMENTS ARE WELCOME....Cindy....

I HAVE MANY OTHER INSTANCES I COULD HAVE HIGHLIGHTED IN THIS THREAD....I WONDER IF SOME PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO "SNAP" DUE TO THE FINANCIAL STRESS THEY ARE FEELING....THAT MAY EXPLAIN A LARGE PORTION OF THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR....

....Watching the debate this evening, as i compose this blog, i wonder....why does McCain ASSUME that i am one of his "FRIENDS" ???....if he REALLY considered me to be his FRIEND, he would not have nominated an unqualified candidate as his VICE-PRESIDENT, potentially placing this country at even GREATER RISK than it currently faces....

....and WHY does McCain "lovingly" mention the name of the #1 Democratic Party "turn-coat"....Senator Joseph Lieberman (Independent-Connecticut) ???....

....and WHY did McCain give President Bush that infamous KISS ON THE CHEEK???....and vote "along with Bush" over 90 per cent of the time ???

....A "FRIEND" OF MINE WOULD NOT DARE DO THOSE THINGS....SO, PLEASE DO NOT CALL ME "FRIEND"....
