When I saw her live on the air, that little make-up in the screen capture was gone... sweated it off, maybe? Looked very washed out LOL
Like I said, she looked just like every other woman rolling out of bed in the morning :-)

Those usually have a manual override button. (As a mom with two little boys that I still bring into the ladies restroom with me, these things are very important!)
To: tscislaw
I heard one report that an airport closed their bathrooms because they needed electricity to power the infrared "eyes" that flush the toilets.And no one has a tool box to crack it open and rig it for manual? Pathetic.

Thank goodness Jenny is at the helm then. The Woodward Dream Cruise and Michigan State Fair are supposed to open Friday - woah & 4-way will be tested in ways never imagined!

Actually...most people DO need the concept of a 4-way stop explained to them. I moved to a more rural area with many 4 way stops last year. I really had no idea but I thought you took turns in a clock like direction. One day, I finally broke down and asked my husband and he explained the, much more logical, rules to me. Luckily, I didn't kill anyone.

Well, what others reported Hillary Clinton saying on LKL I am now hearing on MSNBC. She is being totally partisan (Of course) and blamed "this administration" for not addressing this problem before like "she and others tried). She also brought up Enron, as she evidently did on CNN.
I am sick listening to her.

The last place I want to be stumbling around in the dark a public toilet in JFK.

Very good point. Eeeeeew. (Of course, this is the reason I USED to carry a penlight on my keychain. Of course with the recent TSA rules I took it off so it wouldn't be confiscated.)
To: ChadGore
That must be the panic David Lee Miller was hyperventilating about.

Don't feel bad...at least you prolly know what to do when the stoplights are blinking red...you see alot of "Darwinian moments" then too.

Interesting photo..... When I was young and stupid living in Philly .. we use to do that in snow storms .. the guys would grab the bumper and ski down the street.
Now if you ever repeat that story to my kids .. I'll deny it .. *L*

Shepard Smith is reporting about airplanes landing in NYC after the power went out. Most of them from outside the USA w/ many people who don't speak English. They're confused and think they're going somewhere to find a hotel room.

Planes that are landing from foreign countries are getting off planes thinking they are going to a hotel.....
