People who side with Japan over that bombing have no real understanding of WWII history.

Look. I cant look at those pictures of those kids running after the bomb was dropped without feeling sorry for them.

But it was THEIR government who set those events in motion. Not the other way around.

Yes there are always civilian casualties in war. That is part of the package.

The difference is that most of the time the ones initiating the attacks that cause the retaliations don't care about the damage they are doing. The Japanese government did not care about the civilians they killed. They struck first.

They didn't care about Hiroshima, either.

SS's big Christmas present, the expensive one, came to a house three streets over. The man brought it over to us. It is clearly labeled with my name and address. WTH? I'm so glad he was nice enough to do that.

I merely feel sorry for so many innocent civilians. This was the FIRST time an atomic bomb was used...the destruction was on a whole new scale.

Yes, LL, They rarely care for their own as well.

We routinely get out neighbors mail. it's as if our mail person does it on purpose. Each person will have the next person's mail. But we do get to know our neighbors more.

He's great. I took a pic of him in a little elf suit and hat, and it's just too adorable. Sending it out with our Christmas cards.

He was six months Thursday. Such a fun age.

Oh, how cute! They are so fun right now.. well, I think they are always fun, but each age has different sweet things.

She will be 6 months on the 21st. They are only a few weeks apart.

Yeah, they have all kinds of exotic animals. Hedgehogs, pigs, foxes, and stuff. I think they even have a deskunked skunk. They bring them out one at a time and let the kids pet them and tell them all about them. It always stinks to high heaven in that store. Then they let the kids go to the break room for cake and ice cream.

I WAS looking forward to it until DH decided to invite DN and Sparkly over to decorate the Christmas tree at the same time. Now he thinks we are going to take SS, stay half an hour, and leave the party early. I'm waiting to see how this plays out. I DO NOT like overbooking. It stresses me out.

If you're going to Wal-Mart you don't even have to get dressed. Just go in your pajama's and don't even bother brushing your hair.

I feel sorry for the civilians too, just as Truman did and every politician that voted to drop the bomb did. It was done to stop the war and it achieved that goal. Millions more would have died in that war, including civilians, had the war not been ended. Japan is a far different country today, a much more tolerant one and friendly one. I don't think that would have happened if not for the bomb. Unexpected results often happen after disasters.

Those are adorable! We've finished all our shopping except for clothes for DS. DN is taking him to Kohl's one day to do that. She has good taste and a lot of patience. All that's left is candy for the stockings and little things to fill them. It's weird because usually at this time we have tons of stocking stuffers and are rushing around trying to get the presents done. This year we have all the presents and no stocking stuffers.

I bought cowboy boots for DGS #1 today. He's 12 years old and wears a sized 8 1/2 men's already. Cost me $178.00 for one pair of Ariel boots. That was WITH the discount.

Gosh, I spend way to much on that kid for Christmas.

Hope you have a little fun at the party, IKWTDS.

Blankie and NAOW, wow, I had forgotten your two special little ones were so close in age. One grandma and one momma. One gets sleep the other doesn't. wink

I will get to see our new little one tomorrow. DD has surgery on Tuesday, so going down a day early to enjoy a visit.

Anyone here know about the Cricut machine? I just ordered the expression 2 from Hobby Lobby for $250. There is a similar one on walmart's website for less then $200. I don't know the difference, so I don't know if I paid to much.

Any help geeks??
