It is time to get things underway.
A very wet Texas is digging out from the damage left from Hurrican Ike. Ike is now over the northeast and is still a very wet storm. Best wishes and prayers to those in Ike's path. As far as I know, we are enjoying a reprieve from tropical storms at the moment.
The NYTs has put out at least 4 stories smearing Sarah Palin. Have they covered the Ayers-Obama relationship? Have they investigated as to whether Nobama is even eligible to run for President? I don't think so. In a non-related matter, stock in the NYTs is at an all-time lo.
Speaking of stock and financial problems, Lehman Brothers has declared bancruptcy and Merrill-Lynch is facing a probable buyout by Bank of America.
We cannot ignore the IRS problems that Rangel is having. Not reporting income from a vacation home seems to be tax-fraud. Is he still active in Congress? Is he a demoncRAT?
There is 49 days left until the national elections. We have some work to do.
An interesting read. Thanks
I can usually hear a pin drop. I still can’t believe we all slept through it. What a blessing!!
Thanks for the prayers! I’m a little nervous- I just hate being laid up for any length of time. The first 48 I have to stay off of my foot. After that,I can walk short distances at a time. I should be ok.
Good to hear that you slept through it. Most of my friends back home were up all night during the onslaught.
I'm like you. I have very sensitive hearing, but once I'm asleep, I don't hear a thing. I have slept through some amazing noises and even shaking that I've heard about the next day from everyone else who was awakened.
Good Morning Dawn Patrol. Since we had no power and was somewhat busy the past week, I have lost touch with the televised news. However we received our local 12 page Katy Times yesterday with a ‘wail’ in it. (I think that is the word I am wanting)
It seems as though a school bus driver is campaigning while driving the kids to and from school. The grandpa is the one that walks the grandkids to the bus stop and saw the bus driver wearing a bright eye catching Obama 08 shirt.
He thought it highly inappropriate. Which is true, it’s no different than a teacher wearing a shirt or button endorsing a candidate. Or him wearing an obscene shirt with profanity.
He said he was complaining to KISD to have him stop it at once.
Great to hear that you are OK, and getting back to normal kassie. That experience your neighbor had / heard, sounded scarey.
Good morning all, reporting in from the music festival which will get started with shows tonight. Lots of great jamming has kept me busy and I’m taking a break from the news.....a very welcome relief.
kassie, the Walnut Valley festival is going to happen but only with the stage shows. NO camping on fairgrounds this year and everybody attending is camping in other areas and making the best of it. I’d imagine this festival that I’m at will pick up some folks who might’ve gone to Walnut Valley but opted not to this year. However, many people buy tickets in advance for that festival so they might be out their investment if they don’t attend.
Jemian, I don’t like to read that you are in pain....were you able to see a specialist? Do take good care.
Well, guess that’s about it, will check back as time allows.
Wake up America!
How long will you be in that area?
I’m on my son’s lap top and can’t figure out how to ‘copy’ and ‘paste’. But I AMEN your “Wake up America!”.
until Sunday
I know it will be difficult, but do you know what I’d give to have an excuse to stay off my feet for 48 hours? Not to mention a week or 2 off of work? That would be pure heaven.
LOL
It is amazing, we all can can see what ObamaWhama is all about yet folks flock to him, messed up world right? As we say down here in the south ‘the truth ain't in him’
Then there is Biden, nothing else needs saying here.
Finding myself getting up early every morning and do my house cleaning, wonder why it gets so messed up just overnight, must be a little ghost slipping in and you KNOW I am ‘the excellent house cleaner’ as we men folk are of course, you ladies make it sound so demanding, well, gotta admit, my ‘shack in the back’ ain't all that big so must say ‘just kidding’ and do NOT want t get ya’ll over me...
Take ANY emergency, storms and the like, all the Flem flamers nationwide just flocks in and the rip off contractors taking advantages of the older folks, they need to be put under the jail.
Oh, speaking of jails, the book collections are going extremely well, lots of Bibles and religious novels, got two big boxes collected so far and am going to take boxes to several more churches. If it changes just one life it is all worth it. In fact, if YOU have any extra bibles and books, take them by YOUR local county or local jail, they will be read believe me, captive readers you know.
On my way to ‘haul’ the trash can out to the side of the road (no curbs where I live), the trash truck runs today.
Toby
Morning lady.
Prayers offered, kassie.
Good morning, Toby.
good morning.
good to see your post Kassie.. but my oh my.. what a bad few days you had! surgery upcoming too.. sigh. All the bad stuff is done for you I hope for a LONG TIME. I followed the FR Hurricane thread over the weekend & streamed KHOU almost non stop. great coverage and a terrible event.
We were without power less than 24 hours when Ike whipped thru Ohio. Not bad & surely will NOT complain. Some trees /big limbs & big mess in yard to address eventually
Jemian. glad you are feeling well enough for the trip. I know in general you don’t like trips & being sick just makes it much worse
Bev..great Scot.. you & that computer..! I have always had wonderful luck with my Dells & really did love them. hope it wont be too long until this is all behind you.
Just have a new Notebook now.. Vista - jury still out. Will use my other for photo work though & not worry about the software conflicts other’s mention.
The new one has 3 gig memory & is an Intel dual processor..so should be fast. 180 gig hard drive not bad for small unit but most of my things are on numerous external hard drives
Freeper Family Friend Wheelbarrow & I attended the Palin/McCain rally in ohio Tuesday. A great outing on a beautiful September day here in Ohio. I posted a thread here at FR & found out a few other FReepers were there. wish we could have joined up. I dont know these particular people.
The libs wrote the book on double standards.
>> who get all jazzed up because we might be listening in on terrorists’ phone conversations,
GOOD POINT !!!
Actually, I always thought they get bent out of shape on the wiretaps since somebody may listen to their illegal anti-American antics. I don’t think the Dems in the background abide by laws.
