LET'S ROLL!!!
Been a little while since I've had a chance to do any posting.
And Strom Thurmond has turned 100 today.
Happy Birthday Senator and thank you for years of dedicated service!!
I heard some great commercials on a radio station out of New Orleans for soon-to-be Senator Suzie Terrell yesterday. It really sounds like they are pulling out all the stops.
The news commentators were talking about how "negative" most of the ads from both canidates have been and will continue to be. Funny thing is, the only "negative" ads I've heard have been from hitlery's mini-me, lil' mary landruie. Terrell's ads focus more on what she can do for LA. There have been some PAC issue ads that endorsing Terrell that have been critical of mary's voting record, especially on abortion, but even these are not very "negative".
Here's hoping that all of our LA friends send yet another message to the RATs on 7 Dec, something like....."Yer outta here!!!"
Molly...so glad your lamb was delicious. Did William and Allison help with the dinner?
My new hearing aid is NOT fitted as well as my first. Normally, I don't complain about things, but this new aid is annoyingly noticeable to me. It feels as though is could fall out any moment.
The sounds I hear are quite different than what I have been accustomed to....glassware clinking against each other as I walk by the china cabinet...aquarium pumps humming, etc. Not sure if it's worth it. LOL
The plus side is I can actually hear our parakeet talk....pretty, pretty Snicky Doody.That's our cat's name. LOL
Kayak called me a couple of hours ago. She's safe and sound and warm and snug as a bug in a rug....in a hotel, that is.
Here's the skinny....there's NO power in her area, it went out about 10:30 last night. Her house, inside, was about 50 degrees. They had a high of 36 today. 1-1/2 million people are without power, and could be for a couple of weeks yet.
They DO have power in Charlotte, in their office, so they weren't stuck in the hotel for ALL the time. She said about 1/4 of a million are w/o power in Charlotte.
She said it was an ice storm, trees down all over, looks like a hurricane came through.
I THINK that's it! I was taking notes while she was talking and my students had just arrived so it was kinda noisy here...but that looks like it's all. She DID say that Howlin and carolinamom are probably in the same boat she's in!!!!
Please, if this doesn't go to the whole ATRW ping list, someone put it on? THANKS!!!!!
