Good evening.

This weekend, the Senate voted to go ahead on debate of the Reid Health Care Scam, Rs and Dems split completely along party lines.

There's still life in the patient, but not much, for no matter how much the Senate alters the bill, it'll still be horrific and I'm not optimistic that it can be stopped.

Still, life goes on & there is much sweetness and delight in our everyday activities and loves.

[Molly Pitcher]

Thanks, LB...thank you very much.

lysie, and thank you for the sweet card!

Bit, did you see this fascinating article last spring?

My Manhattan Project

It's about a computer program developer...

[Molly Pitcher]

Thanks, lysie...again...:))

[Neets]

NONE!!! LOL..maybe this weekend. We'll see how I am feeling. My sister is trying to talk me into taking the kitten that she brought back to VA that Carlos found in his driveway a few months ago. She took him home, named him Buster Kahn. Mom has been enjoying him while she has been down there, Here is a picture of Buster Going to my bro's tomorrow for dinner. Hoping everyone here has a great Thanksgiving.

To all my friends at ATRW:

Wishing you safe travels & a great day of giving thanks tomorrow. I know many have had painful loses this past year & SOME are facing medical situations and other life bumps that are "rough". Prayers for strength & peace for you in this journey.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

oh too funny :)
I think it a lovely name....that & Genevieve

Yes! I did read that article when it came out. The thing I love about it is that his software was used in ways never intended for it nor called for by the underlying 'theory', and then he was hired to go back and make it easier to misuse the software even more.

The ironic thing is (and I wish I could find the article) that this kind of thing is not new. It was outlawed in the 30's but the restriction was lifted in the 90's for non-commercial banks only.

And I still want to know why AIG, and insurance company, can sell Credit Default Swaps, essentially an insurance product, without the prior review and approval of NY state insurance regulators...;-))

[LBKQ]

Ha!

Just heard Obama say........”We have either created or saved more turkeys.”

No kidding!

[Bitwhacker]

Hey, I had a thought yesterday (yes! I actually have them sometimes!).

In what is indisputably an otherwise sucky year, we are now experiencing in this 4th quarter a steady stream of encouraging good news for which to give Thanks. To wit:

1. Global Warming and Algore have taken a major broadside below the waterline with the revelation that the global warming crowd not only faked their data but embarked on a campaign to actively suppress debate and criminally resist FOIA requests in several countries (with plans to destroy data rather than release it to researchers).

2. Nobama's making a fool of hinself on a global scale and even his admirers are noticing, to the point that his approval numbers are tanking big-time (-15 and dropping).

3. NJ and VA have elected GOP governors, and, lo and behold, NJ polling shows that the populace is in favor of -- gasp -- freezing state employee wages and benefits and -- OMG -- even laying off an appropriate amount to balance budgets!!!

4. Sarah Palin (who, realistically, still needs a lot of work on getting her message down and her presentation right but nevertheless has huge potential) sold 700,000 books on the first day of release -- already trouncing Hitlery and a lot of others.

5. ACORN!!! After years of looking the other way at ACORN's criminality, authorities are now seeing RICO-like behavior with the 'document dumpster dumps' at not one but several offices, exposing the true extent of their duplicity in undermining the electoral process.

6. Van Jones and Anita Dunn have been unceremoniously booted because of their open Communist and Marxist views, with more to come.

7. David Letterman, the devoted husband who made it fashionable to go after the Palin family, has been shown publicly to be the cad and worm that he really is, and it would be fitting if he were prosecuted serially for workplace sexual harrassment of subordinates.

Yes, a lot of bad came along with the good, but there is every reason to expect more good news on a regular basis. Not a bad way to usher in this Thanksgiving 2009...;-))

[Molly Pitcher]

You have lots of thoughts, and that's why when I read something interesting, you come to mind!

The thing about the Manhattan project article which is so appealing is that the author both stood within his career experience, and outside it - it seems all along - observant and critical. That's not all that common.....plus the oyster business...business...:-))

[Molly Pitcher]

The One is coming to your AO. Oh, good grief...my sincerest sympathies. Hope the impact on you is minimal, Nita.

[LBKQ]

You’re not going to work on Tuesday, are you, Neets?

[Molly Pitcher]

Excellent idea....Stay home.

[Molly Pitcher]

Has anyone around here joined the conservative group for older Americans? I’ve heard it advertised a lot lately: Generation America....

[Guenevere]

You make an excellent point...points!

We can find things....many things...to be thankful for!!!!

[Guenevere]

Sincerest sympathies ditto!

[lysie]

Buster is a cutie!!

[lysie]

You are welcome, Molly.

[DallasSun]

Happy Thanksgiving to all

[DallasSun]

Oh Neets! What a magnificent cat! Beautiful. And looks soooooo sweet.

[Geee]

Everyone have a very very Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your friends and family. Despite the many things that have happened in the last year, we still have many many things to be thankful for.

[Jemian]

Thank you for the Thanksgiving greetings. It is Thanksgiving Day here. Meal prep is almost finished. Dinner will be around 1730.

CHICKEN is not on the menu.

[Neets]

Got the news this morning about “the visit”...don’t know the particulars yet because today was crazy being the day before T’giving.

I telecommute on tues so impact on tues is zero. LOL no pun intended.

[lysie]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones, DS.

[Neets]

He is adorable but I just have to say no. I already have a full plate and having to clean/empty kitty liter every other day and keep the guinea pigs just isn’t another task I am ready to take on.

[lysie]

Thank you, Dolly.

[lysie]

Greg will be home tomorrow. Yippee! I’m not sure what time, but that doesn’t matter.

[LBKQ]

Yay!!!
;o)
;o)
;o)

[lysie]

Good evening.

He told me he may have drilled his last hole....(retirement soon). After 31 years of hard physical labor he's looking forward to it.

[LBKQ]

And, does he ever deserve it!

[Geee]

That’s wonderful Lysie!!!! Have a great day!

[DallasSun]

thank you so much lysie

[DallasSun]

I understand that Neets. We have a house full of rescues. It is so time consuming and so expensive. There is not one I would give up, but no more.

[DallasSun]

I hope you and yours are having a wonderful day.

[Jemian]

We are. Hubby and cohorts are at work. He’ll be teaching up to about 1700 so he’ll get here just in time. I need to run out and grab some salt and cornstarch. Otherwise, all systems are go!

[kassie]

Ohhhhh she looks just like our Annie!

[kassie]

[lysie]

Thank you kassie. Blessings for you and your family.

[prairiebreeze]

Thanks for the link on the Manhattan Declaration, I’ve read bits and pieces, will try for the entire thing tomorrow morning early.

Great news that Greg will soon be home.

[prairiebreeze]

Happy Thanksgiving, dear FRiends!
