In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue, which we celebrate with a day off and lost of sales ; )

ok blame proxy error for the double ping.
Obama wants me to believe that my bank account is empyreal, but to me it feels more like real empty.
Day off?
For real?
soother, have you seen Bridesmaids? saw it in the theater and literally belly laughed out loud repeatedly. xshub was channel surfing on Sat PM and we came across it and i made him watch it. he’s much more MATURE than i am, and even he thought it was hysterical. i laughed just as hard seeing it again. the actress that plays Megan cracks me the hell UP! yes, it does play to the sense of humor of adolescent boys, which is why i am sure that Explorer89 would enjoy it if she’s not seen it yet, since we share a penchant for juvenile humor!
oh we love us some Columbus in the DC area, no school cuz it’s a fed holiday. lots of non-feds get the fed holidays off, so xshub is going in, but his ofc is off as is xsteen’s.
he’s the magic man. A+++
And then we ate well. :-)
no need to keep living in the past ; ) LOL!
Empyreal
According to Mz. Bootstrap, our Local Historian and Graduated Teacher, I copied that right off her printed cards, she says,
“This empyreal is about Roman guys who were sorta like presidents but dressed like the the Statue of Liberty.
There was Empyreal Nero and Caesar but I think Caesar was killed while trying to seize something so he empyreal-ed out right fast on account of a no good woman named Ida March.”
Mz. Bootstrap also has a drive through denture window behind the garage.
Hmmmn.
But who are losing money in those “lost sales” .. the business who is not making as much, or the consumer who may not really knead all merchandise they are handling?
Speaking of the fiery word of the day, do you really think the streets (er, slums) will burn when Obama’s empyreality show gets cancelled in November?
There will be empyreal expecations for Obozo's comeback a week from Thursday at the Town Hall debate, while the Media continues to obfuscate and cover for Obozo's lack of knowledge for his own Presidency and attempt to set the table for his return to relavency in this election cycle.
The one flaw in all of this?
That Obozo's biggest mistake may be that he should have scheduled two Presidential debates, a week apart, and then the Veep debate because Obozo now must weather two weeks of Romney's momentum before he and media get a chance to stack the deck again.
And it makes it harder to catch up when people may already be tuning out and deciding for the other guy who turned out to not be the person the media was advertising him to be.
i don’t know how the law is written, but it seems ridiculous. Can’t see them ruling that way unless it’s the plain meaning of whatever the statute is.
A+++ i think that obams is just NOT GOOD period, and that it’s not that he didn’t have a good night. he sucks, we knew it, and now they know it!
that Ida, she’s a killer! A+++
yes, robt. i do believe the streets will burn if/when he’s defeated. his followers are THAT insane. A+++
