This list has been created as a means to boycott those who stood up for their rights/beliefs. I'm using it to support those listed. I've written letters (read: emails. What is this, the Pony Express?) to many of those listed in my community telling them Thank You.

It's only taken me two months. We hiked Mount Timpanogos, all 11,749 feet of it. A neighbor invited us and took his GPS unit. It seemed like we had been hiking for ages, and he'd pipe up, "We're a quarter of a mile up!" I hated that GPS unit.

When we reached the saddle, I threw my arms up in the air at the amazing view and yelled, "AWESOME!!!" to which my sweet hubby said, "This isn't the top." Rats. Shortly after, I turned around to see two men carrying a prototype rescue stretcher. Atop sat an 11 year old girl named Emma who had been wheelchair bound for several years. I shouted "Welcome to the top!" and started clapping. Soon, everyone up there was clapping and cheering. She started crying, and there were very few dry eyes after that.

Near the bottom, we saw 2 rangers; a burly fella with a rifle, and a skinny chap with a tranquilizer gun. An enormous moose had just charged people off the trail, sending one woman to the hospital with a shoulder injury, and pushing another into the raspberry bushes along the trail. Although being charged by a moose isn't on my to-do list, I hoped the skinny chap would win.

By the end, I felt every inch of that 16 mile trip. As I sat on my inviting sofa, gazing up at the rocky peak, the beauty and grandeur of the mount had new meaning for me, and I thought to myself, "BOOYAH!"

This is merely because my friend Greg said I wouldn't. You don't have to read this if you don't want to. On a side note, my Dad recently emailed me one of those "about you" things I never do, and this cracked me up:

11. Greatest Fear? Widths

So, on with my lame thing:

8 things
TV Shows: The Office and Lost (We don't have TV, so I watch these online sometimes)

1. Health: regular meat eaters die an average of 12 years earlier than veg's. Occurrence of cancers and a myriad of other diseases are significantly higher in our omniverous counterparts. When I made Dylan eat vegetarian for a summer, he lost 20 lbs without any other lifestyle changes. And he commented that he felt better after eating - not heavy and weighed down.

President Bush keeps telling us that if this financial bailout isn't passed our country will go to ruins. He's wrong. If it does pass, then our country is one step closer to mega ultra hard times.

There are three reasons why we should REJECT the bailout.
