Good evening everyone, and welcome to the new week's thread.
Our new president will treat us to another exhorting, scolding speech Monday night as the Senate prepares to vote on the Depression and Mind-Boggling Deficit Act of 2009.
Meanwhile Sec Treasury Timothy Geithner, AKA The Treasury's Own Tax Cheat, will unveil yet another bank bailout Tuesday...but that could change...stay tuned.
Bookmarked. Thank you, Geee!
Thinking of you..hoping you are feeling better.
I wonder if the long winter and the depressing DC constant drumbeat isn’t wearing us all down a bit physically. As you say, as soon as you wake up, there it is again even if we don’t watch the news. Get well....Spring is almost here! : )
Oh, yeah, I remember the seat belt start. Our small California town had little traffic and I was darned if I was going to let Big Brother dictate to me! HaHa...traffic and congestion picked up, and I joined the crowd in buckling up for self preservation. Now I feel uneasy if I’m not buckled up. Frog-in-the-boiling-water syndrome. Degree by degree, and you don’t notice it.
It is a lot to ask for and all of a sudden. I ordinarily do not have that much money ever. I’m thinking that if she were depending on me, she must have missed the boat yesterday. She’s coming to work in about half-an-hour, or maybe her niece is.
Or not.
I like Jeopardy! and it is a fun way, as you noted, to help the kids become active learners instead of passive receivers. Just as we don’t like to eat the same food at every sitting, so students get bored with the lessons delivered in the same fashion week after week.
I’m thinking that an interview with Caleb, the Master Spy, might be the next presentation. I’m mulling things over right now.
Did your visit to the doctor today bring any relief from the shingles misery?
If I feel like eating, I’ll fix that tomorrow for Roomey and me.
Today my little Dr did his magic and I do feel better, the spasms are not as bad, but the “chicken pox” are kind of itching and I still have a sore spot on my back. Thank you all for helping me feel better. LUV U All.
What’s a few trillion dollars to the mess-I-aih? Just a drop in the government that he wants to set up.
We’d better start waking this nation up to what these communists have in store for us. Begin with R. Emmenaul.(?) He really wants to control this country.
OH MY STARS!!!! How can that telepromter reader cut into a REAL story? All he has are platitudes and scolding us for now bowing down to his every wish.
I hope you’re feeling a bit better today and even better tomorrow. Don’t watch that teleprompter reader...he only exazzerbates the illnes. Turn onto the comics.
I have worn seat belts all my life. One of my earliest memories is my dad at the car sales place in Greensburg, PA ordering that the car must have seat belts installed throughout. This was pre-1962.
We all thought he was weird and we protested mightily against it. But he would not start the car until everyone had their belt buckled and the “frosty buttons” (door locks) were down.
But I still protest against the law requiring seat belts. Yes, they are necessary, but I should have that responsibility NOT THE STATE DADGUMIT !@#$%^&*()_++_)(*&^%$#@#$%^&*()_+_)(*&^%$##$%^&*(!!!!
We got an inch today, kassie. Much needed rain. Hopefully we’ll bet at least another inch or two tonight and tomorrow.
And another thing from the Canadian Nationalized Healthcare.
Cancer patients are put on a “waiting” list. Some come to the US and live.....
I have too. I prefer the the longer cooking grits, so does Roomey. He loves grits...eats them every which way. I’m thinking of using one of Paula Deen’s recipes, creamed grits with shrimp. Roomey will fall off his chair. lol
Mozie you and Mr. Mozie raised one fine fellow. Thank you.
Then there’s hope for us Toby.
I’m right there beside you protesting the law requiring seat belts. But slowly, slowly the socialist-lites have added more nanny care until some gullible citizens think it’s comfortable to never make their own decisions.
I have to chuckle thinking of your dad sitting patiently until you all buckled up and locked the doors. : )
Hmmm....creamed grits with shrimp. What flavoring would you use? Garlic, I guess? Could be goooood.
Patience is not really the characteristic exhibited by Dad. LOL! But he did enforce that law. Ouch!
Another rule that he and Mom had concerned resting our elbows on the window sill when the window was rolled down. That was a huge no-no. One, or both, of them would say something like, “I knew a friend who was resting his arm on the window and wham! a car came by and ripped it right off near the elbow.”
My brother and I kept waiting to meet my parents’ one-armed friend. We knew there must be several.
If we were participating in a drinking game, where by every time 0bama said, "uh," during his press conference, we'd be drunk.
We can't watch it anymore. Too distracting.
