No pushing at the door please!
good first of October to yinz.
It would behoove Mr. Romney to bring up the Lyin’ King’s utter and abject failure in foreign policy in the coming debates.
Morning. No sunshine here, but no rain, either. I am looking for a new book to read. Any suggestions?
I scanned the headlines....Obama is whomping Romney in the polls, yet the Obama campaign claims Romney will win the first debate. ????
“No pushing at the door, please!”
Indeed.
It ill behooves us to act like cattle.
xsbaby worked at the Fairfax Co.kids festival at the Romney booth and said they had a great reaction from people. our neighbor actually showed up to the booth looking for a sign and to help out, and she told him that she's been trying to take one over to him, but they haven't been home. so that means three of us at the top of the culdesac with Romney signs. they also had some very cool HOKIES for Romney bumperstickers which she got to send to xsboy's friends down at VaTech. They are done in the schools colors so they are really eyecatching. They had George Mason U PATRIOTS for romney and WAHOOS [UVA] for Romney as well.
hopefully he will. A+++ i don’t know if i can possibly watch it, my nerves are so on edge over the election stuff!
A+++ and keep your hooves to yourself ; )
The book is not available to U.S. customers on kindle. Dang. Looks good.
I am glad the excitement is there for Romney. I am hopeful.
Moi aussi.
the girls and i are leaving for Italy in 10 days. xshub’s organization is having a conference there, he doesn’t want to go but is letting us go in his stead. There is a papal audience on tap too, that the partnering law firm has arranged. we are not sure of what gradation of audience it is, whether it’s just in the square or a more personal one, so we are preparing for the most stringent and have 3 chapel veils ready to go. i sent xshub a video of papal audience etiquette in the offchance it’s a small group deal, for him to share with his staff. The entire rest of the group will be non-Catholic, but i want them apprised of etiquette so they don’t embarrass me!
Also i had been using Rosetta Stone Italian, and suddenly a few weeks ago it just wouldn’t load. I spent numerous hours online with their tech people trying to troubleshoot it. Finally yesterday they did a remote access where they took over my computer and after 2 hours and a clean reinstall of the software it finally works again, though it lost all of my progress. i was SOOOOO glad they could do the remote access, i didn’t even know that was possible! the prior hours spent with me trying to interpret what they were asking was a total waste, so much more efficient for them to go in and do it. it literally it took so long that i had xsbaby and xsteen’s boyfriend sitting there for me for periods of time so i could make dinner etc. and they could relay the guy’s questions, comments to me. Of course i was dealing directly with Mumbai! names like rangath, mansoor, and ghouse, were the three diff techs i dealt with!
the heck it isn’t, since i read it on Kindle! let me go look at it.
Well, it's only the hind feet, so ...
It’s about setting expectations so you can claim a victory. Only before a debate do your flacks go out and claim your opponent is a golden tongued genius and your guy is hopelessly inarticulate.
It behooves me to mention that the countdown to the wedding is 19 days and counting!
I see WVU finally played their first game in their new league — the Arena Football League.
If I were a defensive coordinator and my team scored nine touchdowns and we still lost, I would resign in disgrace.
i do not get it, how could it have been available on Kindle in the US this past summer, but yet not be available now?
Fast & Furious, Benghazi behoove
That the voters, from office, remove
The mendacious commie
And his daughters’ smug mommy
To my lib friends: What more must we prove?
