Good morning.

[prairiebreeze]

get the United States out of the UNnecessary organization.

Agreed, too bad it won't happen.

Good morning everybody. Mr. Prairie and I have been spending time rehearsing with our friends for a show we are performing this weekend. It's a fund-raiser and so far they've sold over 200 tickets. This year we're doing it gratis, next year if they want us back, it'll cost them.

It's been a chilly and rainy January in S. Texas too, much more than normal. Golfing, shuffleboarding and other outdoor activities have suffered.

I keep remembering how it was 90 degrees on March 12th last year though, and think that things are going to be warming up here soon.

Good morning.

The weathermen can't tell me with any accuracy whether it's going to rain tomorrow so I have no reason to believe them when they try and tell me what's going to happen in 10 years.

Yesterday, some meteorologists and scientists accused the WH of try to cover up global warming reports. And I've seen a new book that is being used in kindergarden to teach kids the "facts" about global warming.

GOOD A.M. CHAIR, ALL, FROM THE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST, USA, BRUISED, BRUISED, BRUISED BUT THINGS ARE STARTING TO HAPPEN!!!!

Instead of us griping about our situation with the storm aftermath, we do, not gripe (like New Orleans).

Speaking of New Orleans, did any of you who saw the feed in to a press conference the other day showing Nagin SLEEPING in the crowd???? Typical.

'Baby, it's cold outside' here this morning, took garbage can to street and like to have frozen to death, course D fussed at me cause I was wearing short pants, however, I DID have a jacket on, guess you can say I was 'half warm'.

I have started planning my garden out on paper and plan to put my first seeds in it, greens. I am going to make my tomato thingie out of metal fence posts, SIL said he could secure the bucket between them and I have all the stuff necessary to put it together. I think someone said putting the Big Boy tomatoe in the upside down bucket goes not work? Tomatoes to heavy? I am going to try some being they will be tied to the fence post, maybe have to use three of them on these plants. I will get you pictures when we get them up, hope it works as I always plant 18 plants each year (supply the neighbors) and two rows of Okra for the same reason, long rows too.

We go grocery shopping today, can sneak a few extra goodies out before D catches me. Told D last night we needed to get a cow as much milk Jason drinks, course you KNOW who would be the official milker, yep, ME!

House, er Shack cleaning time, I am going to have to pour some concrete just off the porch and a walkway to the house, I douse this place with crude when I make that walk to and from. D did get me new vacuum cleaner and that helps.

All have a good day, a pleasant one, a happy one.

Good Morning. I haven't read the end of yesterday's thread or the beginning of today's thread, but I wanted to put a couple of links in here for you. This is just a glimpse of what Iowa Republicans must endure:

State House Democrats are really feeling their oats after winning the trifecta. They haven't controled the Governor's Office and both Chambers of the Legislature in 40 years. But they control it all. And this is what we get:

An Anti-Bullying Bill written to exclude 'regular' kids. It clearly is designed to put protection of gays in the Iowa Code. To he!! with fat kids, to he!! with smart kids, and to he!! with just plain different kids.

But by golly you'd better not make fun of a Gay kid.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think ANY kid should be bullied. And if Iowa's school administrators were doing their jobs we wouldn't need this bill.

Thank you for allow me to vent about this. My frustration level is Code Red this morning.

Here's a link to a story about it.
