I know that's true for me too Mama_Bear. I'd feel better if McCain picks an acceptable running mate, but I'm not holding my breath.
Dolly, thanks for the pings to this thread, I hope to be able to contribute more here in the future as currently I'm traveling which allows little time for posting anywhere.
Good morning everybody!
Oh, wow..Isn’t that lovely!
Good Morning, jaycee.
Good Morning, PrairieBreeze! I checked your home page and I truly love it! I sure loved your tagline too!
Do you think Romney would be the best running mate for McCain? I prefer him but don’t know about my FRiends!
Oesy, this reminded me of something you would post. I figured you would enjoy it!
You know you’re from Las Vegas if...
Lifted and modified from elsewhere online, and mostly true.
1. You have no idea what a scarf does but think it looks good.
2. You know how to get to any casino on the strip without taking Las Vegas Blvd.
3. You can now predict where construction signs will be misleadingly placed.
4. You accept the fact that stop signs and red lights mean very little to tourists.
5. You become nocturnal between the months of April to October.
6. You know the seasons: Really hot, 2 weeks of nice, not so hot, 2 weeks of nice.
7. When you go to different cities, you’re amazed things aren’t open after 9 pm.
8. It doesn’t faze you to see slot machines in grocery stores.

11. Your most prized possession as a Nevadan is your blue and white license plate.
12. You know the spaghetti bowl has nothing to do with food and you want nothing to do with it.
13. You know never to merge right when driving north on I-15; it’ll just end anyway.
14. You think a well-organized pile of rocks can be a nice lawn.
15. Snowfall only happens on TV.
16. The term Lake Las Vegas doesn’t seem problematic in the slightest.

34. You get bored in the Entertainment Capital of the World.
35. You’ve never had to pay for parking.
36. You are outraged to pay more than 9.99 for prime rib and a lobster tail.
37. You’ve forgotten what rain looks like.
SOooooo Lovely!
Well, I got on early because some days, I get swallowed up with ‘stuff to do’. Know what I mean?
I started to yell awhile ago “Wake up, Sleepyheads”. LOL!
I woke up with a stomach ache in the middle of the night. Burger King was advertising a new item, a ‘hot dog’, so I had to be out about 2:00, stopped and got one with curly fries.
The hot dog wasn’t good (ate half) and the curly fries were cold as the hot dog. I warmed each in Microwave. Half of the curly fries were in the brown bag instead of their container. My hot dog experience was not good. Maybe I was looking for trouble~~LOL~~and didn’t heed the warning signs.
When I have a bad experience like that, I don’t want to hit the fast food places.
Thank you for your compliment, Meg! Wish I was at that beach this morning....I need it.

That’s bad the meal was such a loser! Hope you are feeling better..I need to run, too..(((HUGS)))
Beautiful!
2. You know you live in Las Vegas when (you've HAD breast implants and) everyone still has bigger boobs than you, and that includes the mannequins, the 17 year olds, the transgenders, and the drag queens.
3. You know you live in Las Vegas when it never goes below 90 degrees for 4 months out of the year.
4. You know you live in Las Vegas when most of your friends have had some sort of “work” done (or plan to in the near future).
5. You know you live in Las Vegas when the biggest talk of the town is the new casino going up.
6. You know you live in Las Vegas when your friends come to see “you” but disappear on the strip for 3 days. Then they call 2 hours before they're supposed to leave town for a shower and a meal.
7. You know you live in Las Vegas when all the kids you know go to private school.
8. You know you live in Las Vegas when you go to a buffet for Thanksgiving dinner.

10. You know you live in Las Vegas when you do everything possible to stay off of the strip.

12. You know you live in Las Vegas when driving in LA traffic no longer scares you.

Wow, you’re loaded for bear this morning. I loved that. My friend sent me one about Floridians and one for Vegas! She lives in Florida. There’s one of these for every state...I got one the other day about Tennessee girls, but I couldn’t post it becaue I didn’t want to go to Siberia!
Good morning, prairiebreeze!
We'd love to have you come by whenever you can! Safe travels to you!
Here is one I made yesterday in my moments of free time. I spent most of my day making a Chicken/Veggie soup. ;) I am just getting ready to take a Peach Cobbler out of the oven now. Mmmmm...it will be hot for lunch. :)
Good Morning, everyone. Here's hoping you all have a terrific day! I love all the beautiful posts and all the laughs.
I Hope Everyone has a Good Day!
I took the day off yesterday, so reading through yesterday's comments today, looks like the poem and graphic reminded everyone of their own grandmothers. :)
The invention of the radio dates back to the late 1800s. A number of inventors played a role in creating this important medium. A number of inventions and discoveries were required to make the radio a reality. This included both transmission and reception methods and technology. The radio somewhat evolved from the telegraph and the telephone, with wireless telegraph directly contributing to its invention.
Established in 1892, the World’s Only Corn Palace was conceived as a gathering place for city and rural residents to enjoy a fall festival. The palace, located in Mitchell, was also meant to showcase the area harvest and prove the fertility of the South Dakota prairie.
The current building is the third since 1892, completed at the present location in 1921. The murals on the building’s exterior are designed by local artists, one of which was renowned artist Oscar Howe, who designed the murals from 1948 through 1971. The Corn Palace is redecorated each year with a variety of South Dakota grains and grasses
