That was very nice and made me very hungry for some meat balls!

Ya know, I have always heard that a good chef always taste the food while they prepare it and that is great. But, I didn’t know they licked the spoon they were working with and stuck it back in the pot.

ali good atss you looked realy great and like you were really enjoying the pasta i must say i make a great pasta gravy myself and its always fun to have your family around to enjoy it with you i will definitely try mamas recipe for meatballs

have a wonderful weekend and happy mothers day to you

Marshall honey….just don’t think about it. All good things coming from the kitchen have been tasted and poked with a finger, and stirred with a wooden spoon, no doubt, and sliced and diced on the wooden cutting board, and set aside for hours until time to add to said dish, probably on the counter top that the cat possibly has explored whilst one slumbered? all the while wiping everything off with that darn spong!!! Yikes!!!!!! You may never eat again. Them thar meat balls were rolled, you know, with “hands” possibley having been wiping off the baby five minutes ago, and/or, every kid in sight “gets” to enter in the fun of rolling the needed meat balls. You definitely need to chill..not to worry. Here I am, having survived it all. Yep! No fear, I say…..lol

Hello Pat….:)

Where is Chas…he sent me over here, as I was waxing into the oblivion that often is present when the gods and ghosts are lurking around and F5 and double click are not working! lol

Happy Mother’s Day Alysin and a wonderful weekend of rest while that family sees to you for a change!!!!! lol

I always have a piece of bread around to dunk it in the gravy. It gives me a better feel for how it will taste on the pasta.

chas

Well yes Chas…an important addition to every meal. The bread is the pusher, the scooper upper of anything left on the plate, and good for the left over of said gravy or anything good on the stove. Yes….bread, the staff of life for all those reasons and more! lol

Actually I was still hanging out at the open blog…lol

Make up your mind.

chas

Chas…I see that. My skills are getting a work out scurrying from one spot to the other!!! Geeezzzz! Would you guys pick a spot and stay put!!!! :):) It’s like shopping with my girlfriend, who just wonders off with no notice! I used to stand in the middle of the store and shout her name. Thankfully that most embarrassing event…you would have thought she would have knocked it off after the fifteenth time it happened…..cell phones came into our life, so she is never further away than a phone call. My other girlfriend went shopping with the missing one, lost her in the store, and went out to the car to wait for her, forgetting about her cell phone altogether which was off and tucked safely in her purse, and doing no one any good, as disappearing friend had called her multiple times, no doubt fearing she had been kidnapped by white slavers and was at that moment being put in the hold of the pirate ship, with the very, very, very, handsome Tobias rushing to her rescue…oh my……..it’s the hot water and the piggies. I lost my head again!!!! Geezzzzzzzzzzzz!! lol

Good afternoon Virginia and chas

i was over at the open blog reading everyones comments. Alis blog has really taken off. I
am really happy for her. i dont feel she gets the recognition she should.

chas your recipe for the meat roll sounds delicious and i will definitely try it and let you know how i like it. i try lots of new recipes and am always open to new tastes. one of my favorites as mentioned on the other blog is peanut butter and bacon sandwiches which i absolutely love. I was actually surprised to see how many people like it also I guess when you dont venture out into that great big world you dont see a lot of opinions

virginia your posts are always delightful to read and full of wit and humor i notice a few others on today that are very interesting also and poor will seems to be having not such a great day in fact he sounded kind of cranky maybe some time in his hammock away from all this madness will make him feel better

Hi Pat…I scurry from site to site searching for the group. I think you are right about Will…I am so jealous, still! Sounds sooooo nice for sure. My pedicure is complete and I can now view the piggies without disdain, as can everyone else, which could be why she gave me the pedicure to begin with???? Now, about the nails and hair!!!!!!! After four weeks in the wheely chair, some attention is also needed in those areas for sure…….lol

Oh Chaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssss!! Where are you??????? lol

Good afternoon bloggers:

Alyson did look as though she was enjoying her breakfast! Gretchen on the other hand wasn’t feeling the love I don’t think..LOL

We should suggest Fox open a chat area. It sure would be a lot easier than trying to carry on conversations in a blog. This forum makes people trying to converse look like rambling idiots, because of the delay and lost threads! LOL I guess it isn’t meant to be conducive to chats. Oh well!

I must go in search of the missing Chas…be right back..lol

I am back in the land of F5. Chas is over on open Friday spot..but, I am still fussing with the puter gods and ghosts….:( I will scurry back and see if it is better in the other spot. lol

OK, now I am here because of no post be added to the friday open blog.

I typed the same thing over 5 times and still don’t see it.

Hi Pat.

chas

Im having difficulty posting too. This type of forum makes one look like a looney toon! LOL Answering voices that aren’t there, or repeating oneself 15 times..LOL I prefer monitored chat areas. I guess this isn’t meant for “chatting”.

Chas….whew!!! I am here and you are right. Was it about this same time yesterday when things were a little funny re: things posting…I had just gotten back from doctors, and grandpa and the baby girl had just left for his…yes, I think so. Hummm…lol

Hi Lori….yes, I think it is something they are doing at this moment…or, Dog said something about a “band” of something being too big…I would have to look back and see what she said..but, I don’t want to go backwards again, so I think I’ll just stay right here! lol

Yes, bandwidth I think he said. We should Fox open a monitored chat room for the election season. LOL That would be a lot easier!

Lori…yes it is, and usually works just fine. Actually, this is a new program. It used to be comment….wait, go to the store, clean the bathroom, have your hair done…and maybe your comment would show. We were thrilled when it changed, so take heart. I went back and read…27 yrs marriage, not age! Geezz!!!! And a trip to China. I am so excited for you and your family. And at such a historical moment. This is just too nice. We will all be waiting anxiously to hear all about it. lol

Lori….have you checked out Dogs site yet? I think you would enjoy it…from your comments, you are smart and a quick wit. Yep, I betcha you would have a good time over there as well. I have looked, but, not commented yet…I will, however. It should be fun also. lol

Thanks Virginia,

I am not sure how many of us are going to go. It’s a busy time of year for us, so we will have to see. His business associates have been asking us for years to be their guests, and I keep declining, I am sure I’ve insulted them, but whatcha gonna do? To be honest I’m not that interested in going.

vIRGINIA

i think one of the most relaxing things is a pedicure it just seems so decadent to sit there and have your tootsies taken care of the whirlpool, the massage, ahhhhhhhhhhhh it is heavenly

you should try it chas it really is quite relaxing i went to your wifes site on the quilting tell her God bless her for what she is doing I will put in my two cents in one way or another to try and help out she is doing a wonderful thing and must be a special lady

my son was a career man in the air force and i remember when he was over in kuwait in the firs gulf war and he was hurt (not battle related) you feel so helpless and its wonderful to know there are people like your wife looking out for our fine young people

i like this type of forum rather than chatting because it is well monitored in chat rooms it can get really rough

I have read some of his site. There is a whole lotta passion there, I will say that! LOL

Oh, how impatient we have become. Remember when you had to wait for the weekend to call grandma and grandpa, and then after ten or so, and only could talk for a second? Then you rushed to your room, pen and paper in hand to write a letter with everything else you wanted to tell them? Now, we expect instant messaging and are just so sad :( when it fails. Yes…we are just not to be pleased at all.

Lori

are you concerned with all the unrest over there when your husband and if your kids would be going

my youngest son works for a company that makes military radios and goes to a lot of places that i make myself crazy over like republic of georgia and columbia but he tells me he deals mostly with the military and has never had a problem i thought once he got out of the air force i wouldnt be worrying as much but you know how this mom thing is they are your babies for ever and thank goodness he tolerates my worrying

I am thinking that once the post get over 200 it begins to interfere with posting furthe.

I suppose there is a size limit as far as bytes go that cause the trouble. I wish I could talk about this to someone there. Guess that will have until Monday and I can ask Ms. Alisyn.

Pat, the meat roll sounds a bit odd but it really is good and even kids like it even though it has spinich in it. BTW you can change the spinich for brocolli or califlower or anything else you can mash so it doesn’t poke holes in the meat when you roll it.

Hi Ms. Lori.

chas

Lori…that is exactly why I thought you would enjoy it. lol Dog is a woman, I believe and there are several people contributing to the site. That’s probably why I enjoyed it.

Pat…that and a really good bit of fluff and we are in heaven indeed. I ended up watching Burn Notice last nite, in the spare room…but, am still sending someone after the book you suggested. lol

I’m getting sloppy, Pat instead of Ms. Pat. Sorry, I did not mean to become so casual without permission.

My wife, Eileen, thanks you for your comments and says “you can always be a postal partner.”

She makes $11 an hour on her part time job, but spends $25 to have the final quilting done by a professional, and that’s the postage. The long arm quilter does the work pro bono.

Anyone can help with this one way or another.

Oh and yes she is a special person, she has to be to put up with me. I can be a handful.

chas

If that is correct Chas, then Alysin will have her work cut out for her, just about the time she thought she could relax a bit. Maybe that is what happened to Greta Wire~~~~oooooo~~~ scary place it has become, and probably due to the site growing so fast. We are not keeping a very good secret here. lol

Wait…WHAT? Dog is a girl?

I guess I should have read more…lol

chas

Any trip outside the US would have to be filled with a little trepidation, these days, I would think, however, this is a pretty historical event, and I might decide I could handle a little in this one instance. I encourage you to think about it Lori. Although, apparently showing up for class is just as dangerous??? Is Stanford (was it ) still on lock down from this mornings shooting? The baby girl has left, so I could turn FOX on now…and find out. lol

Friend is at the door….will catch up later. lol Don’t say anything important while I am gone!!!!!! :):)

chas

please pat is fine. ms pat makes me feel kind of old. i know it is a sign of respect and being on her for short a time i see you nothing but respectful to everyone. besides i am probably much older than you so dont wasnt to feel any older

dog id not a girl is he????? i think his profile said he is a 28 year old male from west virginia if i am not mistaken, which i well could be

Pedicures aren’t a guy thing, at least this guy.

I was telling Ms. Virginia that either Jewel or Kelly Pickler said they couldn’t stand getting a pedicure because it tickled too much.

I’m not ticklish myself, but really don’t think I’d enjoy someone doing things to my feet. That said the wife loves it when I take care of hers.

So I think it’s more of a ladies thing.

chas

i had the tv off all day exept this morning for fox and friends i saw that there was a shooter who ran didnt think anyone got shot i will have to check on that what is happening in our schools

i know lots of guys who get them you could get in touch with your feminine side LOL you sound manly enough and your wife is lucky to have you take casre of her as i am sure she takes care of you

and your little or big pink toes would look so cute in flip flops LOL

Pat it is then. It’s just the way I was raised. In fact the last time i saw my old neighbors I was still calling them Mr and Mrs. But until I have permission I try and stick to the non-casual and respectful.

BTW, I’m no spring chicken myself. I can retire from Federal Service with 30 years next March.

Perhaps you noticed when I was talking to Ms. Lori earlier I’ve been picking Presidential races since LBJ.

That might give you an idea of how old I am…lol

chas

Pat,

I wear either slippers around the house or Western Boots at all other times except when I have to wear steel toed shoes at work.

I also wear a Western Hat, though no one else around here does.

A picture of me is scary indeed…lol

chas

chas

i understnd the respect thing. i think its or generation. i worked for an internist for 25 years until my retirement six years ago and most are patients were geriatrics. they would tell me to call them by their given names but i could never do that and i would tell them i couldnt because i wasnt raised that way and they would constantly tell me to but i just couldnt

i did see that but i am not good at that age thing i will be 72 next month but still kicking

chas

like you told me its the inside that counts you cant be too scarey you got yourself a woman and all that cowboy stuff is pretty exciting (Blush) sorry Mrs chas

Bless you Ma’am, 72 God love ya. I am 55 and feel like I’m going on 90 since being sick last year. But I am certain it is just taking longer because I am not as young as I use to be.

I think it is great how us people of older generations have taken to this new fun tech stuff.

But it is about respect. My Grandfather mostly raised me and would be just over 102 were he still alive. I can’t be any other way that would lend disrespect to his memory.

One day when I get it I’ll give you the link to Eileen’s pictures of the quilts she’s been making. You would like them I am sure.

chas

Pat,

you are right they are my “babies”, and it could be dangerous. It has been one of my personal “goals” to not allow fear to rule my life. Id have them all in a padded room forever if I could! But that wouldn’t be much of a life would it? LOL So I just to stay focused on the here and now and have faith;-) MOST of the time..LOL

Hiya Chas how’s it going this evening?

chas

i know i would my kids as adults with children made me a qilt with sayings about moms signed by them handprints of the granchildren and dates it is my most cherished posession and i told them i want ir buried with me

Have you guys seen the Utube video titled “charlie bit my finger” ? It is adorable, Ellen just had it on.It really is a must see worth the search.

I have had to learn, as Toby Keith sang, “I’m not as good as I once was”. My new theme song BTW…lol

My fuse gets short at certain things. I almost got into a bar fight a couple of years ago when a guy and his girl started to argue. He talked like he was going to slap her.

I told Eileen if I got up she had better leave the room. Won’t take a man hitting a lady. Unless I hit him with a chair I think he would have hurt me…lol But I would sit and ignore that.

chas

Lori

i know the feeling i am so glad they are all grown and raised because we sure do live in a scarey world nowadays i worry more about my grandchildren than i ever did my own children

when mine were young you could let them go out during the day and play and not worry someone might run off with them of course 24 hour news coverage adds to these fears we
were not as aware of things as we are today

but my children tolerate my musings and even like me isnt that wonderful

Hi Ms. Lori,

So happy you have returned.

Fox had that vid on a couple of days ago. It is, for lack of a better phrase, cute.

Eileen made my kids a Picture Quilt a couple of years ago. I took pictures of them and me when they were young and printed them on special cloth treated so it wouldn’t run,

They both loved it.

Both of my girls are women now one almost 24 the other just turned 18.

chas

Pat, LOL Yes that’s lovely!

When cable first came to my Mom’s town, she was a huge news watcher, and for the first year she would call me daily to warn me about the latest scary thing out there just waiting to injure my children. LOL

Finally I said to her “Mom, you have got to either turn off CNN, or you will bankrupt yourself with these long distance calls!” She got the hint..;-)

I have to see these quilts you keep chatting about. I must have missed some posts cause I am lost. (and no wise cracks about how that isn’t unusual for a democrat..LOL)

Hi…I am back. Did I miss anything? I glanced quickly. I don’t know then re:Dog….I bet we’ll know in a minute tho. I don’t think I read the profile…I meant to go back and do that, however, one thing and another, I just did not. Just an impression, and prob not correct. Were is Sheila? She always scoots off and finds out these things, so I don’t have to get lost trying. lol

My oldest girl was raised like a son. I didn’t really worry about her too much…lol

chas

The quilts are beautiful and it is a worthy cause. Chas…and how many has your wife done? A bunch!!! lol

moms never stop being moms i have learned after many years to sometimes just sit and stew rather than drive them crazy with my worries it definitely is a different world i would never allow my kids to do most of the things my kids let my grandchildren do but i know i made mistakes along the way and my advice to them is “do the best youcasn with them and hope the good things get remembered” and so far thank God they are all good human beings no major problems

Chas the quilt sounds wonderful and my goodness i have grandchildren older than your children now i am really feeling old

Ms. Lori,

Just click on my name and it will take you to the Quilts Of Valor site.

Welcome back Ms. Virginia.

chas

But Pat, you sound so young at heart and that’s from where your beauty lies Ma’am.

No cracks Ms. Lori, though a few came to mind…lol

chas

YIKES WE HAVE A DEMOCRATR IN OUR MIDST LOL

have any of you ever watched dog whisperer. he is so amazing with these animals

Wow the quilts are beautiful, and such a wonderful cause. My congrats to you and your wife. My husband and I will most certainly donate to such a worthy cause.

Hi Chase and all…F5 in full motion! Geezzzz! I may be just impatient…again. Took a minute, tho, to scan so all is not lost as to catching up, that is.

i tried that yin yang thing will suggested and it really doesnt refresh gets hung up the F5 works much better i am very impatient also virginia

Pat: LOl we do, a life long, die hard, never vote for a republican in my life democrat..to boot! LOL Although I have a “mixed marriage” my husband is one of you guys, so he says, but really he is more of a democrat than I am he just doesn’t know it.

Pat……….oh yes. The dog whisperer is a favorite. So calming and fun and nice…much like here??? Yes, we all want to be reincarnated and go live with Cesar…yes we do!! lol

Virginia

i just finished another book by Catherine Anderson called Blue Skies of course its a very sweet love story so i dont know if thats the type of story you would enjoy
I

now lori is he really or is that just a dream of yours to be truthful i sometimes want to distance myself from any of them they are so shameful as of late

Ms. Lori,

All help is accepted gladly. I think that if more people knew about this more would be willing to help.

Eileen was sent a letter from one of the guys, via the nurse contact that would bring tears to you eyes for the quilt he received.

You wouldn’t think big tough fighting men could be so touched by such a simple act, but to a man they are.

I wish I could get FOX to highlight this cause. Even though my wife is only one person and not a spokesperson for the org, she talks with a real passion for this.

You FOX are you reading this?…lol Didn’t think so.

chas

LOl well it was nice talking to you Pat..LOL

chas have you thought of bringing it up to ali like contacting her by e mail directly

I think you are right Chas, a little shout out would bring a lot of $ that way.

oh lori dont go away mad LOL we are tolerant on this blog thats what i like about it i used to go to greta but she doesnt monitor it and it has gotten completely out of hand she might get a lot of hits but a lot of them are downright rude and mean i am not into that i am a helf glass full kind of person

Yes we do Pat…however, she is smart and quick witted, so watch out. I am not sayin a word, as I am sure I would loose that right now!!! Now I, on the other hand, am described as a reg dem, closet republican, older citizen person. Whew…now, that is a mouthful, but keeps them all wondering!!!! lol

Have a lovely evening/weekend all. My life is calling. xoxoxoxo to all especially to Mom’s this weekend BFN

Virginia

you make me chuckle out loud

nite lori

~~~~~~~~~~ooooooooooo~~~~~~~~~Pat…Greta Wire is not nice at all anymore. There are some really nice people but one must wade thru soooo much, it isn’t worth it at all. It’s too bad, and I think it is because it has become so huge….a thing that could happen here since it is not a secret any more. We will hope we have Lori and other cool people and not the nuts on GW. collective prayer definitely called for!!!!!! lol

Good nite Lori…see you in the morning for a minute???? I’ll be looking. lol

Okay…you have all gone to the new blog!
What abouyt Obama’s comments on McCain’s age…the commercial with his 90+ years mother should put a stop to that…she was sharp and witty…what do you think?

Actually I’m not a Republican, I’m a republican.

I know you think I’m nuts and that’s ok. But that is what Jefferson consider his ideal of Government.

Small, controllable and subject to change, as long as it was slow and considered.

So I guess I am really a Constitutional Conservative or a Jefferson republican. He never used upper case with republican.

BTW, it is a myth that Jefferson was a liberal. He was a radical thinker with conservative values. He did not believe in parties, judges making laws and believed that the Constitution was made for change, but only after slow and thoughtful talks. He thought that the French moved way too fast and turns out he was correct as it gave them Nappy.

OOOpps, sorry got into that history thing again.

chas

i think the big problem is she has no rules and doesnt seem to mind the vitriol said on her site i can remember when she was covering the natalie hollaway story my goodness it got so nasty i just stopped going over there at all never participated much either and i like greta i watch her every night but her blog is uncensored and too much bitterness for me

Pat….I love the sweet love story. I suspect our reading likes are very similar. I don’t want to be attacked by the author. I want to be amused, intrigued, informed at times, smile and perhaps cry, and at times have to put the book down to laugh right out loud for several minutes…yes, I suspect we enjoy the same taste for sure. lol

Hi Mr. Adams. We came here because the friday blog got tired and wasn’t putting up post.

I think Greta is Fox’s other token liberal..lol I don’t watch her, don’t care for her and certain don’t like her blog. I mean why have one if you aren’t going to be part of it?

chas

Jimmy

good evening

the commercial with mc cains mother is great she is amazing for the age of what is it 96 i hold nothing what obama has to say he lies like all the rest no one can sit in a church for 20 something years (if he did attend) and not know how the man felt that will be a big problem i think that will dog him until the election

chas

i personaly (sp) like learning things and especially from well informed people I was not a good history student and have learned a lot in the last few years as my grandson just graduated from college with a history major and he is passionate about it so we have had some discussions

I agree Chas…good for you to point it out…maybe she will read the blog and get the idea of what it’s about

Mr. Adams is also a history guy, with a better education than I have to be sure.

AS so is your grandson. But I like talking history with people that have been taught it as opposed to me who just keeps a self-study course going.

Maybe I should give hime my e-mail addy.

chas

i am not usually one to write e mails to host but just recently when she was showing those girls beating up the other girls she showed the video EVERY night EVERY night i couldnt stand it anymore and wrote to her asking her what the purpose was for showing it over and over every night i never received as response but it hasnt been on since then

i like to think in my own little way i may have been responsible for that but then my brain gets in gear and i realize the story played itself out

Ya know this political race that is not supposed to about race sure seems to be about race……..

Chas…don’t sell yourself short….very often self study (and a more objective view) tell the real story of (his)tory…..or maybe it should be (her)story LOL

Hi Jimmy…..yes, I saw mom. The junior senator might want to be just a little careful with his remarks. McCain’s age and hateful remarks could get him in some hot water…much like the other hot button things we are not allowed to speak of except in whispers like everyone was blind!!! The uniter better be careful…we, after all are part of that group he wishes to unite, and actually the group with a penny and we will probably actually go vote regardless and not be persuaded to take off to part unknown instead of…willing to stand in line, I might also add, and very aware of the option to vote absentee. Yes…we are mighty and strong and “oooooooooolllllllllllllldddddddddddddd”, yes we are!!!! So deal with it young man!!! We still grapple with the President junior senator from Illinois??? That sounds really, really, weird. Now, that said, I am pretty sure that, knowing how uniformed people are, they will be much more apt to pull the lever for the Scottish/Irish boy sooner than for the boy with the “funny name” that makes them slightly uncomfortable as visions of sand and flapping robes come to mind….visions of kilts and bagpipes being much more familiar and less threatening, I think……could be wrong, but…..nope, I am pretty sure I am definitely NOT!!!!! Yeppers….lol

Mr. Adams,

I presented it to her, (in her defense it was before she knew me), but also did Bill O and a variety of FOX people to no avail.

Perhaps I will try again. It seems you have to get her attention early in the show because her comments generally stop around 8 to 8:30.

Besides, I’m pretty certain Ms. Alisyn doesn’t scan her blog for comments made by chas…lol

chas

chas

as the way of the young he likes european history rather than american he feels we dont have much of a history as of yet in comparison to world history which in a way is true I remember when he was in grade school and he had to interview the oldest person he knew and guess who that was he asked me what was invented in my lifetime and i said tv he almost fell off the chair and rolled on the floor with laughter

and as being only a study of it its great to get differnet aspects one might point out what another might miss

Marshall

if we ever thought there was no division between the races this election has shot that all to hell
black people will vote for him no matter what because he is black i lived in a kind of shell and didnt think the divide as this wide but it sure is and its kind of scarey

I think about the innovations in my lifetime…..TV!, Cable News! Personal Computers!
My son would have thought that I gre up in the Dark Ages….and I am amazed at the possibilities that will take place in his lifetime!

Oh I don’t know about that…..I think Alysin does glance to see who is there that might be always there? It would be very normal for her to wonder where Marshall was don’t you think? if he disappeared off the map. And you, Chas, as you are number two usually…yep…I think she scans and looks for. I do..lol

OK, this is an example. This letter was written to my wife. I have deleted the name because I did not ask permission to use them, otherwise it is without edit:

Dear Eileen,

I am writing to express my gratitude to you and your friend, Betty I, for the beautiful, patriotic quilt you sent to the 332 EMDG (Expeditionary Medical Group) in Iraq. I want you to know how much those quilts mean to us. Yesterday evening six of our Nation’s very finest soldiers were flown in by chopper after a suicide bomber attacked their foot patrol. I cared for one of those young men last night. (I’ll call him Sgt C.). Sgt C is a young American soldier from Utah with a wife and two small children at home. He is one of the lucky ones. His burns and bruises will heal. His ruptured eardrum will heal. Yesterday he earned his second Purple Heart.

As is customary, the Chaplain or his assistant bring the injured troops a quilt and we cover them with it, either in the ER or on the ward. If they are alert we read them the cards from wonderful Americans like you and tell them that someone from home made that quilt for them. We save them for very special days, like yesterday; for an occasion when a touch of kindness and love from home is exactly what is needed. As I write these words my eyes fill with tears. I have watched many young soldiers receive their quilts of valor and I want you to know that it touches them deeply. It touches all of us deeply. I couldn’t read your card out loud to Sgt C because I was crying as I read it. Trying to hold back tears, I held it for him and he read it himself. I can tell you that a strong soldier fought valiantly to hold back his own tears. I don’t know if he will ever write to thank you, though he says he plans to, but I wanted you to know how much your kindness means to these young troops, and to those of us who care for them. This is no exaggeration…everyone who passed by Sgt C’s litter last night commented on how beautiful your quilt was. It was truly one of the most beautiful quilts we’ve seen.

I firmly believe that the Lord puts us where he needs us. Right now I am needed in Iraq, caring for those in harms way. I was placed with Sgt C last night to tend his wounds and was blessed to read your message and admire your quilt with him. Of all the quilts that were given last night I was especially touched by yours. You see, I have left behind a husband and four beautiful children in Damascus, MD. As I read the inscription on your quilt I was even more moved by the fact that it was from one of my Maryland neighbors. I told Sgt C that I was planning to write to you and when I return I hope that we can meet for tea and chat. I will share my pictures of Sgt C and his quilt, adorned with his Purple Heart.

Thank you, again, for your kindness and patriotism. I guarantee you truly touched the lives of many last night….through one beautiful quilt of valor. I know that Sgt C is anxious to return home and show that quilt to his family. It will always serve as a reminder to him of his victory last night and of the love we share as Americans. God bless you and God bless America!

Sincerely,

Major Sarah

Pat you sure got that right! I guess I was in the same shell because I thought we had made a lot of progress over the past few decades. There has been something else going on in a culture most of us was unaware of. Hate is being taught on Sunday and a bunch of vindictive people turned loose on the country come Monday morning.

electronics have progressed so quickly its amazing is there a home in this country that doesnt have a pc or a cell phone and look how cell phones have evolved truly amazing

Marshall,
you are right…that is what the Wright segments proved to all conservative Americans….and that (I hope) will keep Obama out of the White House!

You can view Eileen’s Valor Quilts here.

what a beautiful letter brought tears to my eyes it must be one of your wifes most cherished possesions God has a special place for her God bless her

The only possible way he could loose some of the black vote would be if he got caught on tape saying something very negative about that side of his family. That kind of thinking is not good for this country. It is almost like voting for Sanyaja to win American Idol. lol

Okay…got to go for now…time to take my dogs out for their excerise again…playing ball…..and as I said before…..even being from Georgia….I am not a racist….I have a white Westie named Alfie, and a black Scottie named William…..Virginia….I hear those bagpipes playing!
Back around 8:00 I hope!

Good point Marshall! I wholeheartedly agree!
Back later!

Well, if BO keeps attacking McCain’s age he will get some senior rage going on and seniors go to the polls unlike college students.

See ya at eight….bye…lol

I try and stay out of the race thing, mostly because I always get in trouble for pointing out that the people that cry racist the most are the people that gain the most money for doing so.

So I will sit back and watch for a bit and stay out of this before the Sam Adams get me saying things that might make people angry.

And no Ms. Virginia, I am sure Ms. Alisyn has much better things to do and much smarter people to talk about things with than me. In fact I am certain of that. I get replys from her simply because I am there and there early. Not because I am anything special or worthy of note to her. Of that I am also certain.

chas

i agree marshall in my humble opinion that is one of the reasons hillary is staying in the fight i am sure they are searching despeerately to find some kind of misstep he has made or will make

his associations for positions that he wants is indicative of what we would have if God forbid he ever got into the white house hillary is no prize either

i also am not a rascist but facts are facts

This is about race because the junior senator is not comfortable in his own skin, and that is very apparent by his behavior, by anyone of any “age” anyway. lol

Too late to say good bye sya later to Mr. Adams. Oh well. That’s what I get for being so long winded…lol

chas

Pat….one miss step? Well, I don’t even think I will even try to make that list, as we are all too familiar with it already. Hillary is staying in it, because the delegates are still able to change their mind…up until they actually vote…so there is always the chance they might. lol

chas

has your wife or her group thought of contacting a group like treats for trooops and ask them how to spread the word i get a newsletter from someone who lost her son in iraq
she seems like she has a big organization I am going to e mail her and she is she has any ideas how to spread the word

There the junior senator goes again, talking about Bush. Hellooooo! He is not running. Pay attention boy!!! Your argument is with McCain and his foreign policy not President Bush and his. Oh my…I just must put the channel on Cesar Melan and the dog whisperer for a while so my blood pressure can stay ok. lol

I often miss the sign off, but hope they come back for one more glance before they actually go off to other parts of their life…lol

Chas…the letter was quite worth the delay, i think. lol

chas

shreks mom is the name of her site

Ah~~~~that’s better. National geographic has “The Missing Years Of Christ” on…that should be interesting and much more soothing to the ears…for sure. The news was getting to me. lol

i have to shut off fox now and then or i would have broken tvs throughout my house for flying objects hitting their screen so i watch a lot of national geographic, animal planet and the cooking channel

Chas….could be I guess, but Alysin would have to be looking for the familiar. It is human nature, much like wanting to go to the same place for that cup of coffee, or the same girl at the checkout, and the same gas station regardless of the price…like that. I wouldn’t agree that your views wouldn’t also be very interesting for her also. I look for them, so why wouldn’t she??? lol

It is about race because some people say if Obama doesn’t win then it is about race. They don’t mention the guy has NO experience and is very wishy washy on important issues. I am not a Hillary fan and don’t agree with her on most policy items, but she is a junior senator too and she has worked her a$$ off in the senate and has managed to cross party lines in order to get things done. As a sate senator Obama voted present 130 times so he could side-step issues. As a state senator he has spent the bulk of his time in that office running for president.

This whole thing seems incredible to thinking people, but the march goes on and on and on…..

As a U.S. Senator should be in there some where. That’s what I get for typeing and not reading what I type. lol

Pat….I was looking for the lovely Cesar and his doggies, but, as it happens they are doing this documentary and it is as always, interesting no matter what they choose to talk about, as a rule, anyway. lol

Marshallllllllllll!!!!! The key word being “thinking” people. Thinking people would not think he would do…on any day, for any reason. lol

I do realize they are both junior senators~~~~~~~I just use these terms of reference as a reminder to all of who he is, and I don’t like to write his name either…I am soooooooo bad I know, but, he is such a slick customer and has bamboozled those that refuse to THINK, listen, and discern. Drives me nuts! Oh well…we have Cesar and the ever TALL and handsome Tobias and the ravishing, petite red haired Levinia to escape to when all becomes just tooooooooooo much. lol

Marshall….we must type fast and furious to keep up, so there is not always time to proof, and then when we see it up, we laugh hysterically over things left out or miss spelled or whatever, that may change the whole meaning. We are sharp here tho, so fear not. We can usually determine what you might be saying. lol

Hellooooo!!! I am in the land of Virginia comments again! Sheesh! :) F5………..patience……..deep breath……:)

Pat, anything you or anyone can do to help the org would be great. We’ve hit everything from Oprah to Dr. Phil, FOX News but we are just people working in the org, (well she does all the work), not any official person like President or something.

BTW if you look you will see that the Mr. Bush just honored the President of QOV, it’s there on the site.

It’s not like no one knows about it, it just doesn’t get air time like so many others.

Ms. Virginia, in a respect you are correct, but I think you give me more credit than I deserve or warrant. She didn’t miss me the week work prevented me from posting until I returned. And this does not hurt my feelings. I come here because I enjoy it and the tone is not so vitrolic (sp?) as other places.

I like Ms. Alisyn and think enough of her to try and keep the site a nice place to be by example mostly, but I come mostly because of the people I have met here and like. You of course are one of those people.

But I have no illusion that Ms. Alisyn thinks any more of me than she does of Marshall, Will or you and Pat. I’m just another who takes up band space…lol

chas

I wonder what would happens if i hit F4???? I could try and see, after all, I am alllllllllll aloneeeeeeeeeee in the land of gods and ghosts and very scary quiet!!!! lol and the phone ringing constantly with…your car warranty is running out…your Medicare whatever….unknown name unknown number then silence when you answer. Ah! I love caller ID, a most wonderful thing after call waiting, yes!! lol

If you collect 90% of he black vote, over the wife of the first “black” President please don’t insult me by trying to tell me this race isn’t about race.

I know they think I stupid, and to a degree they are correct, but don’t pee on me and tell me it’s raining. I was born in the morning but not this morning.

chas

Well Chas…maybe, but, I don’t think so, really I don’t. She would walk around with a furrowed brow I think….yes I do. Might not say anything, but, she would wonder. She’s nice, so of course I think this would be part of her personality, in passing, as it fits into her very busy schedule. Yeppers, I do…:)

Well, she wouldn’t miss me, but I know I would miss you.

I’m thinking I will write you the process for cut and paste, (it can be done a couple of ways), while watching the weekend crew in the morning and e-mail it to you then. So watch for it tomorrow.

Trust me it is easier than reading a text msg…lol

chas

Chas, are you watching the news again?? Got your blood pressure up, huh? I turned it off before that happened. Nat’l Geographic..very soothing~~~~~~yes, soothing!! lol
I have good news…..the kids next door are expecting and due in August. Another baby in the neighborhood. It was my job for years, you know, and I hand over the job with a joyful heart and expectations of much fun with no responsibility!!!!!!! Yes I do..lol

my boss many years ago gave me a sage piece of advice and he was ten years younger than me but obviously wiser he told me we are only like a grain of sand on this great big earth and one day while sitting on a long island beach at seven in the morning in the freezing cold trying to soothe my soul i realized he was right i looked at the immense sky, the atlantic ocean and the beach and yes we are only just a little drop in this big universe

i found cutting and pasting so difficult for so many years and one day my son sat down beside me and showed me how and a DUH moment happened and now its second nasture

and you know what else he really isnt even black he is mixed black and white amazes me

Wife’s son, (one of 3) got married just before I went into the hospital last year. She’s wanting a grand kid, I couldn’t care less one way or the other…lol

I’m not a big kid person, but kids seem to like me for some reason. Kids are like cats, I don’t like cats, but they seem to like me.

Strange hoe those things work.

chas

Well…you may try to hide from me, but I am getting so good at this, you will not succeed. Much like my dentist, who went off without a word~~~~~~but was found after much gnashing of teeth and loud screaming on my part. Oh stupid me…when they leave a practice they are not allowed to send out notices to their particular patients…and he did leave and open his own office. So when I found him, finally!! Sheesh! I ran over and told him he was found so that little trick didn’t work. He acted like he was glad to see me. Oh hell!!! He was glad to see me I am sure…I am at the crashing part of my life, so every tooth is in jeopardy, therefore he lights up like a Christmas tree every time I show up! Yep! For sure. He is a great guy thought. Sent the baby girl over to him as she had a loose bottom tooth and had been told it would have to be pulled. Well…you can imagine the fit I had…all that money on her mouth!! Excuse me, I just don’t think that is happening. She had no insurance, so I wrote the check for a thou…i.e. reference to having a penny???….but, he never cashed it. Nope, he didn’t. She’s a doll anyway, but, he is nice and we are good buds…as much as one would be with their dentist anyway. I had the same relationship with my mechanic…hummmm! So, of course I think Alysin would miss you Chas. I miss my mechanic for goodness sake, and I wasn’t seeing him every day!!! lol

what was your hospitalization for chas was it your heart??

But Obama can’t play the I’m almost white card.

Perhaps you missed it when blacks were saying that he might not be black enough.

chas

no i didnt miss that

everyone is now screaming that the arabs will not help the burmese people surprise surprise guess who will be doing it they all come to us when they need us then stab us in the back you think we would learn after a while if it was up to me i would build a wall around us and tell them all to get lost but of course i know thats silly but thats how angry i get

No Pat, I had pnomonia and empymia, sorry about the spelling.

The fluid in my right lung spilled into my chest cavity, got infected.

The rest is a gross and nasty story.

Obviously I lived through it and wouldn’t want to put you to sleep with the whole sorted tale.

chas

Well yes Pat…i.e. not comfortable in his own skin?…..He should have called me to run his campaign. He really should have. He would not be having these issues with people IF he had hired me on the spot. Well….I wouldn’t have been available..but, he should have anyway!!!! :):):)
Chas….I think you are going to be really surprised when the event happens. I can tell you that as a positive. I had all these kids, and didn’t think I would be overly moved by more, by anybody. Boy, was I wrong big time. It is amazing, and unexpected, even for those who think they are not the children type. In fact, they make the best grandpa/grandma, sometimes. Yep…I am right about this one for sure. I insist I am…no arguments from the peanut gallery either!!!!! :)

well i am glad to hear you are on the road to recovery that sure must have left you weakened

US foreign policy reminds me of the nature of a moron. You define a moron by someone who does the same thing, the same way, over and over again and keeps expecting a diferent result.

Sort of like many Democrats.

chas

my youngest son got married and did not want any children always aggravated my girls about their kids well he finally married a german girl ten years youndger then himself and somehow she talked him into a baby he is the most devoted father i have ever seen he has a little girl now six years old she adores him and he adores her in fact she wants to grow up to be a daddy

good thing lori said goodnight already chas

Pat you have no idea of how little I feel like my old cowboy self.

Either I just old there in bed for 7 weeks or I was just to ornery to acknowledge that I was old and shouldn’t be out working people half my age.

I hate it in words I can’t use here…lol

chas

You guys are going so fast I am having a hard time keeping up, what with the necessity to lite up (cough, cough) and then monitor the cig, as it is not allowed to just burn in the ashtray, so I must hold it or hang it out my mouth like a trollop and with the condition of the aforementioned hair and nails I am looking pretty scary…other than my beautiuuuuusssss piggies, of course….I forgot what I was going to say!! Sheesh….lol

Pat….point and match! Ditto…lol

The hunta won’t help their own, and are black mailing the rest of the world, much like the mayor of New Orleans, so are we surprised when despicable people behave despicably? NO, not really. lol

actually i havent experienced what you did but i can slightly understand your frustration the aging process alone is trying there are so many things i used to be able to do that would be foolish for me to even try now yup its tough and it only gets tougher but as long as we have our minds intact thats important i make it a practice to do crossword and jigsaw puzzles to keep the mind active and of course talking to people like you , virginia, marshall, will and others helps also

I acctually didn’t know she was gone…lol

Looks like my mind went with the rest of my health, just kidding.

chas

Oh Chas….you are in trooooublllle now. We will hope that the very smart and quick witted Lori doesn’t scan back tooooooooo far!!! lol Or not! I love it when you two spar. It is fun, and smart and very good reading. Yes…that would be what I like about that. lol

Not a thing wrong with your mind Pat. I read a lot of history, watch things like CSI and try to solve it before they do.

And my job requires me to invent ways to fix things and make things work, so I keep both of my brain cells busy as all get out.

chas

We are a bit puzzled by all this for sure. I am just positive that I am the lovely age of forty, but, alas the chiluns are approaching that…well, one of them is there…so, I cannot but accept my plight of the body isn’t staying as young as the mind thinks it is. And this darn ankle has just made that alllllll tooooo clear, if I was wondering for a minute. lol

what type of work do you do

I like Ms. Lori, she is very smart and unlike many partisans she is willing to listen and not attack logic and fact. She is, even if she won’t admit it, a moderate, and wouldn’t be surprised if she at times considered voting for a republican.

But I am not so tied to party as she and as such have a more objective view of politics.

I am sure she would disagree, but I don’t like either party at this point, but have none of my own.

chas

i said exactly the same thing aabout not liking either party a few posts back when she was here
they act shamefully and have not interest in the whats good for the people they are all self serving hypocrits

Now wait a minute Pat. I mentioned nothing about mind being in tact. This could be an issue for me for sure (((()))) we know I am just a little insane, and the mind in tact could be a problem if that would be the measuring stick for anything!!! :) Geezzz! toll free ringing again. I wonder if there is something I forgot to pay? Time and space has become a relative thing for me now. I have much more respect for that and the stairs going up to a bed, then I had four week ago, when funny stories were attached to the adventures in the wheely chair, that has now put permanent button marks in the now rather sore tush!!!

I work for the DoD as an Aircraft Engine Mechanic. Though I was mostly a fuel filtration tech for the last 7 years. They took me out of that job after I returned because of the fumes concerned about my lungs.

Next March combining my 13 years of military time with my DoD time I can retire.

chas
ps, since I work with shall we say new tech stuff, that’s about as much detail I can go into in public. Sorry

Sorry about the typ 0’s. I am trying to eat and smoke and type and read all at once while talking to hubby who just brought my dinner…….:)

understood chas

and virginia everything is relative i am sure if you asked my kids about me they would have plenty to say about my intact brain so you are in good company

Ms. Virginia, nothing wrong with your mind either. In fact you are willing to learn new things, as a prime example cut and paste.

You Ma’am are a treasure and I so enjoy your company.

chas

That is true Chas…re: info…although you are prob in safe enough country as we DON’T KNOW HOW TO PASTE AND CUT…or is it the other way around!!! :) Dad was high clearance and to this day doesn’t say a word, even though it wouldn’t matter. A good man as well as a good soldier for sure. :) Well….I could retire if the kids hadn’t spent all my money!!!!! :)

HI Mr. Virginia…lol

Thanks for feeding my buddy.

chas

My kids didn’t get to spend my money, I didn’t have any…lol

chas

my son has top level clearance he is just below the highest he tells me when i ask because his wife is not a citzen keeps him from the highest

A DUI can keep you from a clearance. Funny that people that admit they did drugs, have out of marriage sex can see things the rest of us can’t but make the rules that keep others from having one.

So am I crazy, or is the rest of humanity moving on and just left me behind?

chas

chas the world is definitely topsy turvy there is no respect in this world today for others for authority i think you can best do unto others as you want done to yourself and hope just maybe there are enough decent people in the world becuase when i look at things in the news it sure is enough to make you cringe and wonder what God thinks when he looks down here and sees what has been done to what he has given us

Hubby says hi to you Chas, with a whimsical smile and~~~~~~~~aha!! I have the remote and I am a happy man so keep talking to her buddy. You are my new best friend and I love my new power of the remote and t.v. We still haven’t figured out how I am going to get the power back, once i can walk again. I must continue to ponder this, as I watch the events of the day! lol

I am not so sure the world is any more topsy turvy than it has had a tendency to be always. Wellllll, more so, of course, as is written it would be, however, we also get to hear about it almost before it happens. We have become a bit desensitized along the way, I suspect. Yesterday we heard the captured the big old bad guy in Iraq only to discover that it was someone with a similar name. Not too long ago, that news would have waited for confirmation. Now, we must sort out the truth from the folly, and that is just insane!! lol

yes virginia 24 hour news is a little too much i watch fox constantly until i get so aggravated i change the channel and since these elections i am so politced (i am sure that is not a word) out that animal planet, food channel and national geographic is what i watch

i am going to sign off for tonight and grab me another book and escape into fluff land with tobias and lavinia by the way dog whisperer is now on again if you are interested good night to you and to chas and all my other blogger friends sleep peacefully and well talk to you tomorrow

Pattttttttttttttttttt!!! Cesar is on…right this minute. Turn it on and listen. You are not allowed to leave, but, you may dash madly over to see what is going on while you are F5ing!! lol

See Pat…I told you we were of like mind in many areas!!! Good nite and sweet dreams! lol

Chas…it is getting late for you too, so I must chat very fast. Pat is smart. She gets off and starts that sleep time process. No wonder her mind is fresh and awake. I bet she doesn’t have a cig (cough, cough) hanging from her mouth either….very nice lady and fun to chat with.

Well, if Alysin wanted to look see right now, there would be just us it seems. lol Or maybe just me? helloooooo…i am whispering so as not to wake anyone up, lest they drifted off in front of their monitor, as hubby often does…..:)

Sorry, a co-worker called. Thought it was work stuff but he just got concert tickets and invited me. Didn’t have 2 so I had to refuse.

It is a week end Ms. Virginia, I stay up later then…loll I sleep late some times as late as 7 AM.

Glad to hear I have a new best friend…lol

chas

Message…this connection has timed out??? What is that? My connection or their connection. Usually goes until at least 10p. Hummmm….

Yes!! He is smiling bigggggggggg. One happy camper for sure. I wonder what that message is at the top? lol

So here you all are….I found you. You can run, but you can’t hide. The stress got to be too much earlier trying to post and getting kicked, so as you know I headed back to the flower shop. Ended up buying four tomato plants, six pepper plants, six perenials, and two hanging plants. It’s always good therapy to go there. When they close up for the season in June I will be very sad. The hubby and kids got a me a beautiful double knock out rose bush for my flower garden. I can’t wait to plant it tomorrow.

So many thoughts, where do I begin? I paid a visit to the Greta blog and I am back without too many scrapes. It was very strange over there indeed and I thank Virginia for her specific warnings so that I wasn’t too shocked. They are a strange breed perhaps. When I found this place, it was very easy to read and enjoyable. I read your posts for many days before ever posting. So when I began posting it seemed as thought I already sort of knew you and your opinions.

Lori, It has been great to see you posting. You may be democrat and that’s ok, you can stay. ha ha. AFter all, this is a fair and balanced news channel. It’s so interesting to read your posts as I am learning lots of things. We are opposites politically as I have never voted for a democrat. But even I know that even our republicans are more democratic than republican…in my opinion. They get closer and closer to the left and then everyone gets comfortable there along with them.

The fact that Obama is black and Hillary is a woman is absolutely NOT my reasons for voting for someone else. I’m just simply a conservative and don’t support the liberal agenda. McCain is going to be my only choice in the November election and that makes me so ILL !!!! It really slucks.

Chas: Thank you for sharing that letter of your wife. That was very heartfelt and so refreshing to read. No wonder she continues to make those quilts. We need more kindness in this world.

Virginia: I cannot believe all the trouble I’ve had this afternoon. Great news about the pedicure. I”ve had ONE of them and won’t go back. My feet are so ticklish that I laughed the whole time. The Vietnamese woman finally gave up on me and quit. lol

Will: I don’t remember what you were supposed to respond to today? I’m thinking that it was regarding my posts getting kicked for at least an hour. I tried so hard to reword things to no avail.

I’m sure I forgot to say something.

Virginia, I would not, unless the cyber gods force it, would not leave without saying good night.

Just basic respect.

chas

Sheila…..yes, right where you left us!!!! How are the flowers? Chas and I were lonesome for some company. Were you somewhere else having fun without us??? lol

Chas…I do know that. The land of scary quiet came upon the puter….gods and ghosts, you know lol

Let’s write-in Huckabee!

HI Sheila, we had to come here for the same reason, no posting. I am certain it is a bandwidth problem/

You seem to share a problem with either Kelly Pickler or Jewel, I can’t remember which who also couldn’t stand for a pedicure. I guess you find it a quite a ticklish situation…lol

Some spy you’d make.

Thank you for the kind words. Mt wife is very committed to this project. Each quilt averages 100 hours of work for completion.

chas

Yes, I had to actually get off the computer and get into my world. Hubby had the day off and was growing tired of me being on here, coupled with the fox kick problems. Went took off to the flower shops, yes two of them .. lol so much fun. then we headed to my parents house who just got home from a long trip to CA. Then the kids came home and it’s always high drama for a couple of hours. Apparently no one thought we had any food in the cabinets, go figure, so I hauled my buttocks to the grocery store. HHHHmmm… then I had to feed the family. Feed the animals.

We have eight barn cats, four of them being just three weeks old. One isn’t doing good at all, might not make it through the night. She doesn’t seem to be getting enough nourishment, but the other three kittens are chubby. She seems to be nursing ok. Maybe she’s just sick, mama keeps going out into the wet grass and comes back to the kittens soaked (it’s raining here). So the kittens end of being wet and I think the poor thing is just getting sick.

What’s the topic in this blog? I have not even looked LOL

Hey Marshall, glad you are back. I was tired of being out numbered by the ladies. NOT…lol

chas

Doesn’t matter what the topic was, we took it over for the weekend…lol

chas

chas, it was probably kelly pickler, she’s a riot. I love to see her interviewed. She had some major work done I think? guess she’s making a lot of money now, but she’s still cute and innocent. hopefully she’ll stay that way.

Lori mentioned earlier about seeing a video on the “Ellen” show. Oh my, how I love her show. My hubby finds that so bizzare because she is so liberal. But her show rocks. It is so much fun and she has great guests. She shows a bunch of funny videos.

So should we combine our posts and make them huge like my first one in here? Because by Monday morning, this topic blog could get huge….and start to kick out posts. then what ? anyone have a plan B? LOL

Make dinner for my mom?? nah, I bought her a beautiful hanging basket of geraniums. Good’nuff.

Oh Sheila….you are marveluuuuuuuuussssssss child!! The pedicure is wonderful, wonderful…take a pill for the tickling and go back. I bet you scared that poor girl to death. And speaking of pedicures…Chas..they are not an only female thing I assure you. Older men come in all the time. It is cheaper than the podiatrist, and they get all trimmed and soaked and massaged and rough skin off…no, it is not for woman only. Not by a long shot. Now, that said, I can’t get the hubby to go either, but, you guys are missing out big time. And it last a really long time, so it is well worth the thirty or so it costs…believe me!!!!
That would be the reason the parties are having such a hard time, and the Independent movement is surging. If you ask a “younger” person, they will say nothing or they will tell you they are an Independent, so will vote “for the man and nothing else matters”. Well, that is why we think they should be at least thirty before they can do anything, much less help elect the president!!!!! Yep!!! That’s a fact for sure….:):)
Lori is awesome and fearless!!!! She must return or we will go on a search for her…she cannot hide, now that I am becoming o accomplished on the puter!!!!!
Whew!!! The color is not the issue. It is that the junior senator is not comfortable in his own skin, so it has become an issue.
Let me think…what else did you say….oh yes. I love the flowers and the planting too…and am sad when the cold and dark of winter descends on Ohio. I want to run back to the deserts of Texas very very fast, but, alas, the primary earner lives here as well as all the children, who, spent all my money, therefore I can’t wiggle out of my spot anyway, so it matters not??
Now…let me think. I told you Sheila. You have challenged my feeble short term memory big time. This is probably a good excersise (there’s that word again) that is very good for me I am sure!!!! lol

OK, then you and Kelly share the same sensitivity. Actually a common thing I seem to recall that they estimate that between 85-95% of the population is ticklish somewhere.

Why do I know that? Dang if I know, I just seem to remember things that most people find useless and pointless. But I have to look in my underwear to remember my name at time…lol

chas

It would appear the gang is all here, almost. Hi Marshall…:)

Actually I had a plan to use the Brian party tomorrow and this one on Sunday, but I guess we shall have to reverse that idea. But that is ok too.

chas

Was there a subject??? I have forgotten if there was…oh!! food I think. Food and yummy combos of everything and anything. Very fun. Made me starving.

The poor pedicure girl, I really did scare her…and she got soaked in the process because I kept kicking water everywhere. She was very limited in her English speaking and kept saying…WEWAX ! NO KICK !

Politics issues: You’re right about the younger crowd. I can certainly understand at times. Our daughter’s boyfriend just registered to vote. He was going to register as an Independent, says he considers himself to be a “moderate”. Hubby talked to him a long time. He ended up registering democrat because he likes Obama. It’s all he’s hearing on the college campus, so we weren’t surprised. Hubby wasn’t trying to turn him into a republican, rather, just tried to explain how everything works.

Yeah, Lori stays, like it or not I say. ) YES I DID NOTICE she left for the evening unlike some others…cough..cough..cough.. Her opinion is refreshing, which is crazy for me to say because I’m usually so defensive. Guess I am really trying to be FAIR and learn something. It’s been a good exercise for me.

Marshall, write in huckabee…now that’s a thought. lol

In your underwear?? ok, I am SO going to just leave that comment alone… LOL

Ms. Sheila,

I had a “friend” many. many years ago that kicked the attendant in the face for the same reason…lol

Obviously Ms/ Virginia has either more control or isn’t as touchy.

And when you get CRS, you do what you can to remember things Ma’am.

chas

I have faith that Chas or Marshall or Will or Jimmy will come up with a plan. Orrrrrrr, you Sheila are smart, and Lori is also smart so it could be a woooooooman who would come up with a solution for the “wideband” problem. Is that correct??? Much like the election we are now watching unfold. Will it be the very talented but not with much expertise, Sheila who will get the job of fixing the puter blog, or the smart and quick wit of Lori who will win the ominous job in front of us? Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr, will the boys cheat! Look on google, and figure the whole thing out because they know about all things electrical and have a secret agent embedded (it’s Chas girls..) as we found out when spying, without permission from fisa, on their web site, known as THE GREEN ROOM…not THE BLUE ROOM, OR THE RED ROOM…altho, we had to search frantically for the spot, but, we put quiet Elaine in charge of that so as not to raise any suspicion you see..very nice, walking from the nail shop after a long calm pedicure and her fluff book..one of our best agents..totally wouldn’t’ suspect her cunning ability to infiltrate the enemy camp…carrying her handy blackberry innocently watching Cesar Melan..who would even suspect?? We keep them off guard with long messages from our other cunning agent Sheila…talking of flowers and everything beautiful, so as to keep them in the dark…it is working…they are in the dark, when the blog shuts down and we are all F5ing madly over and over, gnashing our teeth and crying mournfully until the neighbors call the squad and we are rushed to the psych ward at OSU, where you are a frequent escape and they are very glad to have you found, at last!!!!!!! :):) I’m definitley voting in November….does it scare you to death??????????? :) Yep, the crazy have their one vote too dontcha know….and a cig will buy mine and if you provide a glass on Merlot (I still don’t have a bottle) I will vote twice for the candidate of your choice, in the true spirit of Chicago politics that we all know soooooo well!!!! lol

I’m 40 and already having trouble remembering things, so I am very scared for the other ages in my future.

Lori, don’t lurk…ask your question here,too, let us have some fun with it ! please…

Oh! Not me…I just explained…escapee from the psych ward?? name in the underwear so as not to get lost, there by having a size 32 put on you even tho you wear a size 38? causing some pain and not discovered until Elaine shows up and is hysterical as he is purple by this time cause he can’t get a breath!!!! And you thought I didn’t know Sheila…think girl. You are one of our very best agents…oppps..I forgot, you are under cover..that’s right. This short term memory thing is affecting my long term memory thing, and I am going blind as well as mad..from my new addiction blogging!!! Ah!!!!! and a wonderful place to be..did I mention that???? lol

Sheila…the most perfect age….relax and enjoy. You are not forgetting dear. You are now old enough to know it just couldn’t matter less..if you forgot it, it JUST ISN’T THAT IMPORTANTTTTT! Yes…a marvelous, marvelous, age. I should have recognized tha about you immediately..well, I think I did as a matter of fact!!

LOL Virginia, you’re on a roll tonight. 32 instead of a 38…too funny. I’m thinking that perhaps this agent is getting ready to get a demotion as she can’t figure out the problem, try as she might.

Come on Lori, do you not trust we can handle the question? Give us a chance… (I’m not losing my mind, I found a question posted on the Gretawire by Lori at 8:30, it’s a good one.)

Did you hear today that Hillary is coming to Kentucky? Bring her on I say. Do what you can do while you can. She’s free to be here in our bluegrass state, although I will not be inviting her over to see my new flowers.

What’s up with Kennedy supporting Obama? He’s so weird. Why do they keep voting him into office?

Let’s play nice and give Alisyn some numbers this weekend. She is our blogging sweetie pie and high numbers impress her bosses.

But, I won’t be around much this weekend, because I will be spending it with my mom.

I’m alone again :( The gods and ghosts are here…I think they might be..the light on the puter cabinet keeps going off and on~~~~~~~~~~~~~~scary, I say!!! Yse…opps, the light you know!! Yes, that would be..there it is. On again. Let me hit F5 while I can see!!!! lol

Marshall, I’ll be around and try to keep things nice…lol a greenroom ranger!! Spending time with you mom…way to go. that is sweet.
I’ll keep asking my stupid questions and try to get some answers to help my feeble mind.

Alisyn…hope you’re having a good weekend. May we all cook something with LOVE this weekend.

Since Virginia brought it up I am going to say that it really bothers me that my underwear is now speaking Spanish to me. I used to wear a simple size medium and now that label says Mucho Grande You Lard A$$. Wuzup wit dat?

Well Marshall….then the “lets” part is our job without our best to help? But, as a mom, I approve, of course. I forgot it was Mother’s day!!!!! It would have gone right past me if not for the blog. I have lost all touch……..blah, blah..lol Explains the call from the daughter that never calls. Ah! I know what I am getting. The boy just called and they are having a bucket sale…can have the bucket for five and fill it up with every cleaning supple that will fit for ten percent off. Well, now, aren’t I just sooooooooooo excited!!!!! lol I wasn’t supposed to hear that, you see, but, with my cunning skills I was able to hear despite the fact I am deaf in one ear and have lost my hearing aid, which I think I had insurance on, but, I can’t remember where I put the paper, or the doctor’s name. Oh well…tha’t life. Who need to hear anyway now that I have found this delightful place…did I mention I love this spot??? lol

Aw Chas….the size mean naught anymore. I have everything from an eight to el grandeousssssss, and I wear it all. It depends on my mood you see. Sometimes I want to be tucked and tailered, and sometimes I want to be in jams, but must go to work, and they just INSIST I be dressed in something other than my jammys…thus el grandeousssssss works just greaaaatttt! As Tony the tiger used to say. Matters not…they have also messed with the shoe sizes. I used to wear an eight and a half, and now I wear a seven??? That makes sense…well, my right foot may forever a size five hundred!!!! Sheesh!! lol

OK, I was locked out for a bit and a half dozen post lost forever, oh well…lol

I sent you an e-mail Ms. Virginia, but you can ignore the good night part because I am back, maybe.

Kennedy hates and I mean hates, Hillary. That is what that is all about. That and Dean, who has decided he is in charge of the world, cause he is realllllyyyyy mad he didn’t get to run for pres! Betcha thought I didn’t know the answer to that, huh? Yeppers, that is it, and he is an absolute sot, of course, and probably doesn’t even know what he is doing as well as he has more money that god so he really could care less about anything but his ugleeeeeee large personage.!!!! Yep…it must be so, I am sure..yep, yep, yep.
There is also a Chas over there, but, it is not our Chas. It is clear it is not, as the typing and style do not match. He is thankfully not and evil blogger, but, not as smart, so for a moment you think it is a friend, but..alas, not. A strangggeeerrrr, with the same name. Lori could be that..so unless you recognize her style, it is prob not her. Oh dear…I hope she is not one of those I may have bee politely telling off?? in my moment in Greta Land?? Surely not…I only presumed to schoole the dumb, and she is definitley NOT. lol

Marshall, one of the post I lost was about how glad you were here as I was out-numbered and the conversation had sunke to pedicures…lol

chas

The first thing I noticed about Chas is that he doesn’t call himself chas. The difference being that I do not use upper case c.

I also don’t think he is as nice, if you can consider me nice, as I try to be.

I just avoid the place.

chas

Actually Sheila, that really happened. I had clean clothes in the drawers and closet for my dad when he was in rehab after pneumonia at Christmas….so, I went everyday, as did the children, at various times, so he wouldn’t be alone too much. WELL…I got there first that day, before the baby girl, and that was exactly what had happened. They had stuffed him, and I mean stuffed…into a 32 pair of jockeys. Sheesh and geezzz! I was furious, of course, and they were very apologetic…it was a very good story, after I got over being so very angry at such incompetence…and at those prices.

Last thoughts before bed.

What’s the last thing that goes through a bugs brain as he hits the windshield?

The answer, (if you don’t get it), will follow my walking the 4 legged kids,

Another skill finely honned as one of our best undercover agents. Sheila…shhhhhhhhhh!! You are undercover. re: sheriff… Did you forget?? lol

Kennedy just looks evil…something about that family has never set well with me. Probably the fact that we would disagree over all topics.

I will take note about Lori. It may not be here, you’re right. This girl wasn’t out of control or anything. She was asking something about Obama…what the heck he would bring to the White house. This girl posting is a Clinton supporter.
OK I am done lurking over there. They have some very interesting opinions….

Heading to bed. G’night all.

Now Chas…I thought we established I don’t get the jokes. They fly right over this red (with a little grey, now that it has been FOUR WKS) head. lol

Oh sheila…be careful my cunning agent person. good nite. I don’t think it is our lori. Ask her…but, don’t mention The Green Room and Alysin. That really is a secret, for real!!!! lol

P.S. He is evil…see? I told you 40 was awesome. There are things you just know that you didn’t before!! Yes!!! bye..I will worry about you over in evil land. It used to call to me…but, not anymore. lol

I’d never post over there…I was just surveying. LOL

Chas…I get the joke.. four letter word…rhymes with spit.

If it was Lori, it’s OK… she’s not mentioned the Green room. Even if she did, I don’t think they would feel comfortable here. We are too mellow? We have strong emotions…strong opinions…but we don’t need to get ugly to get our point across. am i wrong?

Gretawire had over 400 posts today… we can’t have that. I think it’s because the subject was Kennedy. figures.

now my pillow is calling. my blood pressure is up for some reason. hopefully i’ll be able to sleep.

My four legged beast needs to go outside in the rain, she’ll just love that.

Nite Ms. Sheila.

Ms. Virginia, the answer should be easy.

The last thing that would go through a bugs mind as he hits the windshield would be his arsehole…lol

chas

I’m liking the Ms, Sheila lady, she’s ok for a youngster…lol

chas

GRIEF .. what am I thinking? I can’t go to bed yet, my teenager is still out. See..i am losing my mind .. ever so slowly.

So what could Obama bring to the white house if he were elected? hhmm, I am thinking but getting nothing…

still…

nothing…

blank as a check…

What do you want him to bring, a foot rub, world peace a real good back rub?

I’m sure he will promises you will get it.

He just won’t tell you a plan as how to accomplish it.

“I’d like to teach the world to sing”…except I can’t sing. All shirt no starch that Obama/

Poor Lori she’s backing the same horse that Hillary did and they shot her. Sad very sad.

Well, I didn’t get it Chas…nope, slow as they come!! Sheila, I am so glad the kid is out. I know…not nice, a bit selfish, but…lol
Answer to the question…nothing but his baby self, and his strange controlling wife, who has no table manners, and altho Bill might not do any better, I think he does have table manners. I am sure she has not a skill we could be proud of despite the wish to compare her with jackie O, as most startling thing I thought. Jackie is laughing hard for many reasons, I am sure, but this one has to be at the top!!!! Oh my, the thought is just, well, just not ok. at all…at all. After Laura B…oh! I am just mortified at the thought poor baby that she is. So, he is not bringing dignity..no brains, cannot chose nice people to help him, is apt to be in the bathroom when the red phone rings? I don’t know…many reasons, those being only a few! lol

And yes Chas….she is that for sure! lol (re:Sheila..i am whispering so she doesn’t blush…secret agents do blush, you know). lol

*blush* thanks chas…i know i haven’t been here very long.. and probably posting too much. you guys are fun though and make me feel so young. lol

Now about our Lori…whom I like..in fact, I have to say that she’s my favorite on-line democrat. how’s that for honesty? that obama question came from a Lori in the Greta room, i just found it interesting. Greenroom Lori will no doubt vote for whichever democrat is on the ticket, just as I will vote for McCain [with much pain]. I’ll have to go back and review her posts from yesterday, but I think she sounds like a Clinton supporter. Especially with her being married 24 years and all. Poor Lori, she’s been talked about so much this evening and isn’t even here.

Now Chas…he does have a plan for his plan. He is going to take alllllllll the profit from corporations and give it to “the people” who will be joyous beyond belief, until the nation fails, and he must nationalize everything…again, for the good of the people, who are still swooning at the sight of Pres junior senator fr Illinois. At this point, when Sharpton, Jackson, Ayers, Frank…whatever, HAMAS, and his cousin in Kenya, whatever his foolish name is…are in charge, the ‘PEOPLE’ will gasp, as he sends the teacher to plow the fields and the farmer to write the books. Yes? No? I think so…yep..That is how it is done…according to the history we know so well. lol

Ms. Sheila,

I was given a pass on my girls teens mostly, due to divorce, but you have to have faith that you taught them well.

Watching a lot of news today tends to make you think that no parent does well, but that is so not the case.

A girl I once knew once said “I’d rather be tied and tickled to tears than have kids”. She had 4 and everyone of them turned out to be wonderful people.

Sheila…we do genuinely like Lori. I wasn’t kidding when I said she was smart and quick witted. We like her for all the reasons you do, and I think she is a Hillary person, and my best friends are all voting for her, true Irish dems, through and through. No discussion and it wouldn’t occur to me that I could persuade them ever and i love them dearly, so wouldn’t even try. I surely hope she does come play with us. It is great fun to have her here. And, she is, after all, one of my best agents!!!!! lol

And Sheila….that is the reason one does not miss card club….if you aren’t there they WILL talk about you!!!! Old joke and so true and we laugh all the time about that…it is the joke. If you don’t come we will talk about you. Yes!!! A girl thing more so I think. But, you need not fear. YOU are marvelous I say!!!!! Yep, and must come or we will sent Elaine to find you, my other best agent! lol

The oldest will be 18 in nine short months. She’s a good kid and to be honest we’ve basically finished raising her. It’s to the point now that you just guide where you can ..and be a good listener. There are still a lot a great parents out there, the media always focuses on the negative stories, that’s for sure. My kids though have some friends that wish their parents were more strict. It’s very interesting to listen to them talk about it all. It comes down to the parents being too busy with their own lives to deal with the kid’s issues. The one girl told our daughter, that we were good parents because when we ground our kids, the grounding fits the crime. Well, we try… I mean why take away their cell phone for coming in past curfew? Or why take the car away from them for back talking? The best thing that we have done here is having them come up with their own groundings. I can’t take all the credit as it’s what my dad did with me and my two sisters. If we didn’t pick a hard enough grounding, my dad would double it. IF you made it too hard, well, stinks for you. We don’t double the grounding if we don’t think it’s hard enough, but we say … nah, try again…harder this time.

For us it has come down to lots of love… compassion…and consistency.

The basic argument of policy is this:

Dems say you are free and should take care of yourself, but we will regulate how you are able and what you must do to care for yourself.

Republicans believe that the Government might help take of you, but it is mostly you who should take of you.

I believe that the Government should protect out borders, people should stop whining about life and get a job and stop, by most means available, keep idiots from blowing up Americans with jet planes or dirty bombs. They should also do this within the limits of the income they collect since I have to live on the income I make.

I had a budget at 15 years old, why can’t DC do that?

Children…well, they are so nice to have. It is a bit scary from time to time. I really do think, more so today than before, perhaps? But, diligence and guarding and letting them know that you are both diligent and guarding, is usually the best way. You have taught them, so now they will chose. It is they way it is and has always been. I think nothing will happen you cannot handle, I suspect. And then, it’s been twenty years or so and it is time for a new mattresssssss, and you can’t believe that the “new mattress” you have is not new anymore, and the kids are grown and fine, and coming home to tell you how really great you are and were. It’s going to be just fine…yes, it will and is. Enjoy the journey for sure….it just gets better. lol

As much as I enjoy talking to you ladies, and have great company even if yours isn’t as good, I fear that I must call it a night.

It is a same that 4am comes so early here in southern MD, which leaves me longing for bed and the comfort of the wife at times I would have in my younger days would have stayed with you wonderful ladies.

I thank you for hanging around. I have been on the plus end of exchange this evening.

Who knew that I would find such attractive people to have fun with.

I agree Chas…and I think that is what the original concept was? You are the student, but, I believe that is what I was taught. It has gotten to be sooooo big and cumbersome and the reps are not doing their job, so the presidency is scarier than it should be. But, we will prevail, I think. McCain will win…but, it is bound to be contentious however it goes.
Sheila….that is how I did it. That is how I was raised also. Having them enter into the punishment faice (sp) always works. Sometimes, they were harder on themselves than I might have been. Hubby and I worked as a team, another essential as you already know. Then guard, pray a lot, love, safety of kith and kin (an essential and includes close friends)…yep, you’ve got it locked up for sure.
I agree that the t.v. is not a good way to see the kids. Another plan of mine that got no notice. Every time they show a utube thing, people should send pictures and stories to go with this to show the many many good kids out there going to school and contributing to their communities…now, that would be a flood of stuff they would need recognize for shear bulk! lol

Good nite Chas…you have stayed longer than I expected..go to bed…sweet dreams..lol

Trouble brewing thinks I. Off then I be and hope, no in fact I know we will meet in the ‘morrow on one of the three post left to us by Ms. Alisyn.

Nite to all.

chas

Sheila…when is curfew….how long do you have to stay awake?

Daughter got home 20 minutes early and chatty as ever. I have no clue where she gets THAT from…

Chas…some great insight as always. The government has enough control as it is…and I don’t need them taking care of me.

My kids will learn to stand on their own 2 feet or get a second job if they must…..they have never seen us rely on the government to wipe our butts for us…so why should they?

Virginia…yep, now it’s time to choose..

My doggie says it’s time to take her to the mattress for some R&R.

Out .. in . peace…

Isn’t Chas nice. He is the first person to say anything to me. I was like you, Sheila, a little shy to intrude. But, this is a wonderful place to be. Greta wire was ok four weeks ago. I was over there more than here, in that this was little bitty at that time. Greta grew by leaps and bounds…she couldn’t keep track either. The same complaint was prevalent…where is Greta and why is she not on with us? So, I fear for this site…I really do. But! Forward we go, and hopefully it will stay ok. lol

normally curfew is midnight… but tonight it was 11 because the weather was really bad and she was driving home from a shopping mall pretty far out.
She typically does something with her friends on Friday nights and goes out with the boyfriend on Saturday nights. They are pretty good though, they’ll go out for most of the evening, come back here about 10, watch a movie together…then he has to be gone and her back inside the house by midnight. I’m pretty strict eh? lol

chas…g’night. it’s been a TRUE pleasure today chatting with you

and I bid you goodnight too Virginia.

Good nite Sheila…and God bless you for sure and your precious family…sleep tight!!! I’m off too, I guess, as it is late here also. lol

This place has kept calm for a long time I think….maybe that is how gretawire started out. I don’t know.

Alisyn…good night. We will strive to keep this place nice. Scouts honor.

Well, you are the sheriff afterall…I’m gone! lol good nite Alysin..

Marshall, to the first response, didn’t you know that it adds flavor?! Yuk!

Good morning….Alysin! It is Sat and the day is upon us….Where is everyone? I have been up since 5:30a, apparently way later than Marshall and Elanie, who I think I saw at a very early hour also. It’s prob the gods and ghosts again….there should be some comments? lol

Good morning all,

I never get out of bed before 7 on the weekend even if I am up before that.

Good morning Ms. Virginia.

chas

Good morning Alysin and fellow bloggers!

How did the bacon and P-nut butter sammies turn out?

I had to make a biscuit run and now I am slurpping on my first cup-o-joe for the morning. What is new in the world?

Good Morning Chas and Virginia rest well I hope?

Marshal,

l Momma always said if you don’t have enough for the whole class you couldn’t have it..LOL

Whew!! I e-mail you Chas…so just delete, as I was lost and couldn’t find anyone…impatience again!!! lol
Good morning again…and a beautiful morning it is..especially now that I have found everyone! lol

Good morning Lori…we missed you last evening!!!!!!! lol

LOL I see you guys did.. LOL mmmmm I’m flattered, I guess? LOL

I see some of my secret agents? Yes, but, where is the ranger sheriff this morning? Prob with her beautiful flowers, betcha! lol

Sorry Lori, that biscuit was half gone before I even got back home. Micky D’s is not offering chocolate covered bacon……yet! lol

Oh…my smart, of quick wit fellow blogger…yes, you were sorely missed. We sent Sheila, the ranger sheriff, undercover agent, to search for you!!! lol

There is a corner type store not far from my house. I stop there on most mornings because I like their coffee. Must be the brand and the fact each pot is fresh ground. Anyway, went up there this morning and it was closed and had cops crawling all over it. Someone said it had been robbed, but didn’t know any details. That is too d@mn close to home!

LOL Marshall, that is a likely story!

I see you did Virginia, I can assure I am not the same person who is on the other blog, and for the record, I will be perfectly happy whomever gets the nomination. LOL

Chas, is right I do consider myself a moderate, actaully I am probably a libertarian.

So now all the bloggers don’t have to wonder anymore..LOL

Lori….we got so silly last nite. We all finally went to bed, with sweet thoughts of all dancing in our heads, worried about you over in the Greta space. But, I knew you would survive!!!! lol Well..the screen is going berserk this morning!!! I waited up with Sheila for the child to get home, and then went to bed, so I was up early, to hubby’s chagrin, prob. Chatting away, you know, while he was trying to have a quiet morning, before he left on his appointed errand. lol

Morning guys,

A pleasure to see you one and all.

I am going to be a bit slow for a bit here. I am typing a computer lesson and it requires me to think about something I do without thinking…lol

chas

Marshall, Isn’t that scarey, when we lived in Dallas my husband and my children went to our “corner story” for some Sunday doughnuts and coffee, and ended up in the middle of a gang shoot out in the parking lot! That is one thing I sure don’t miss!

LOL Virginia that isn’t me, I have never posted in any room other than this.. It’s another Lori.

* corner STORE.. good heavens need more coffee…

Lori…I think you and I have the same political history, and I am sure I am prob leaning more libertarian also, in theory. I am all over the map, and am furious with the dems for the antics and have been so saaaaadddd while I have watched it all. It appears they did not vet the junior senator. If that were me, I would be on a list somewhere as a person of interest I would think? Wellllll, could be I am on a list, for all I know??? lol Hillary does not scare me a bit, and altho I disagree with her, I do think she can do the job. I would stay in the race too, as no one has that illusive crystal ball, so why not? There is still room for the supers to change their mind and so no wonder Dean wants that issue settled right now. I think he is wrong headed, but, I do not like or trust him and am so relieved he is not president!!!

Lori that is terrible! Thank God I think this was just a robbery and no one was hurt. You really have to get off the beaten path to target this store and I doubt they got much cash. I don’t like these drugged out whack-o’s coming into my hood to rob people!

I am glad I do not have to worry about you anymore in the land of strange and not always very smart or witty comments!! We are selfish, and we want you alllllll to ourselves!!!!!!!!! lol

When you get the chance Ms. Virginia check your mail. Your lesson has been sent.

I hope the instructions are clear and easy to follow.

chas

No Marshall….the drive way is way closer!!!! And they were right there, waiting on me. Yep!!! They were. Oh wellllll, life is dangerous, yes it is!!! lol

Good morning Alisyn and everybody! Did you see the McCain commercial with his mom for Mother’s day? How cute!

Oh thanks Chas…I will read carefully. I have pictures I have wanted to send, and have been unable to do so. My daughter in law knows how but I have been unable to snag her…busy lady that she is! This is great!!!!! I will check later…lol

Morning elaine, yep I just saw it on the weekend show.

chas

Elaine…the best of my agents! What were you doing up at the wee hours???? Reading I bet! lol

OK, I guess the next lesson will attachments and sending them via e-mail.

chas

Virginia, no not reading, watching fox news as usual, I just saw on there that Japan just came up with ice balls, instead of ice cubes they are balls and they melt slower, (Great for your experiment!)

Marshall…when do you leave to see mom today? I don’t know what the kiddies are doing here. The oldest is coming today I think, as she has an open house tomorrow for a client, and will be busy. The other baby girl, that comes every day, is coming this a.m., but I don’t think that is my “mother’s day visit”. The boys? Well, I don’t know. Haven’t really heard. The one is in Atlanta on business, so he won’t be here, but, will prob call as he always attends, such a well raised young man that he is :). lol

Makes you made Marshall! We also had our car stolen out of our driveway on a saturday morning! LOL My husband had just come back from the store again, and he was unloading the groceries..LOl He went to the door and said hey our car is gone..LOL I can still see his face.. Poor guy..LOl Im sure someone followed him home from the store.

Virginia, I kinda doubt we have the same political view, after reading last nights posts…. LOL But thats ok..lol I forgive ya and still xoxoxo ya.

Elaine…. I still have not gotten the illusive Merlot that I need for this experiment, which sounds, as we decided it prob was, a yuk thing!!! I am determined to fix a little bitty glass, however, and will let everyone know!!!!! I am also watching FOX, but, have not been paying attention. Leave it to the Japanese however, for invention most interesting. We were there for four years back in the dark ages of my youth, and the toys and different things out were just amazing, not many in the states, when we go back. They are here now, tho, aren’t they…for sure!!! Grandpa is up, and dressed and pouring his own milk into his cereal, which hubby got ready for him. He can do it all, so I guess I have learned that along this path of the ankle!!!! To whoever mentioned orange juice on the cereal…..yes, we have done that in days of yore when the milk mysteriously disappeared! and it is good, but, again…no surprise. lol

good heavens all I am so sorry for my crazy spelling errors this morning… LOl I think I should sit and be still till my coffee kicks in..LOl I sound like a dang fool! <<<<<<<<< Being still

NO Lori…I said history. I am a life time dem and have only left as a result of the far left getting the power of the most precious party, The whole household is dem…moving away, for the same reason. The girls will definitely vote for Hill, if she gets the nod, but, I do not think they will vote for the junior senator. The boys are Independent or republican, along the lines of the dem persuasion that has become a part of their platform…so, altho we part ways, the history is the same. lol

Don’t worry about the spelling Lori. We all do it and are still able to understand what you are saying.

chas

I can never type in the morning before my fifteenth cupa…but, we manage to read what comes up anyway, as we are all in the same shape? Yep, I think so. lol

Now…the hubby..who knows what he will do, but, he has the best time pushing alllllllllllll my buttons!!! Yes, he does. lol

Orange Juice and cereal! Now that really is yuk! Whenever I was out of milk I just used water.

Virginia, gotcha, LOL well I do understand how you could have come to your present day outlook, present day politics isn’t the same as it use to be thats for sure.

I have grown up in that climate. My uncle was a Congressman for 26 years so I know politics isn’t for the weak, but this is off the charts I agree.

And if you needed proof of the leftward Ho movement Alex Baldwin is talking about a run for office…lol

Though in CA he might be considered a moderate. Yea right.

chas

Time for me to get off my lazy butt and straighten up this house before family start to arrive! Have a great weekend one and all and Ali.

I saw Alex’s interview, but I missed what he was contemplating running for? Congress I assume?

If one answers the phone and they cannot say your name correctly, are you allowed to say……you have called the wrong number??? Geezzz…and from India, no doubt. Again, I ponder, what on earth didn’t I pay??? Or are these weird calls to sell something? If they won’t identify themselves, I guess I don’t care. Send me a notice and get off my phone with these darned calls that just interfere with my life…well, I don’t really have a life right this minute, but, if I did, it would be interfering!!!!! lol

Bye Marshall

It will be on 60 minutes tomorrow.

The clip I saw didn’t provide the information on which office.

chas

chas? Are you serious? Alex Baldwin? Is he a republican or democrat? I would vote for him on his look alone! LOL

Virginia my house is kind of at a mid-point between where my mom lives and where my sis lives so they are coming here today driving from opposite directions.

Okay, gone this time…………

I believe the proper political term is socialist.

chas

Alec Baldwin is left of Karl Marx and he is a complete drunken nut that beats his wives and ridicules his daughter. Scum on the bottom of my shoe would have a better chance of winning a political office.

okay, stop making me read here!!!!!!! lol

No…Alex is contemplating the presidents job. I think he is qualified as he has made all these documentaries? Something about a sub and the Russians I think? Maybe he will run for governor first, so as to get some experience? He is a total nut, for sure. Good looking, as far as it goes…or was..haven’t seen him for a while, so he may have gotten fat and old?
Grandpa can’t remember mother, God bless his heart, so I paused to talk to him. He ask me again what her name was…:( I feel so bad for him. This is indeed a wicked disease. But, I am really blessed to the max that he is here and my hubby loves him as much as I do. Yes, God is very good!!! lol

Im sorry about your father Virginia, must be very difficult to witness. xoxoox

Did anyone see the camping outside of fox? That looks so good right now! I want to put all that stuff in my backyard so that I could go camping anytime.

Bye Marshall…a house full he is having and a fine fellow to boot!

Elaine…in that case I am writing in Pierce Brosnan~~~~sigh~~~~he is soooooooooooooooo purty!!! lol

Good Morning Alisyn and friends
Sal

Virginia, your father is very blessed to have a daughter like you who steps up and takes care of him and is also very blessed that your husband adores him aswell, I hear horror stories out their where the children leave their parents to other means of care, our parents sacrificed many years during our upbringing and when they are of age I believe that it is our obligation to care for them, our way of saying thankyou mom and dad for all of what you have done for us, and this goes for the spouses also, if you love your husband or wife then you love their family aswell.

Morning Sal.

good morning Sal.

Some times it gets too bad to keep them at home. They become a danger to themself and to the house.

This is what happened to my wifes mother. She had to be put in a home for her own good.

g-morning Sal

Well even though I don’t have much good to say about our sitting president, one good thing I can say is he sure loves his girls. I wish them a happy day today.

I was lucky in that respect chas, my parents went quickly, they didn’t have to be hospitalized or move from their home. if you can call that lucky? LOL

chas, of course in extreme cases, if it is to keep them away from harm.

Virginia, my favorite was Dick Van Dyke!

Nice thought Ms. Lori. If anything should be free of politics todays event should be.

Dad is waxing nostalgic…can’t remember how many kids he has or grandkids. I think this is going to be a very melancholy day. lol

Hmmmm seeee this is why I dislike this kind of forum for chatting, I am pretty sure I have some missing posts.LOl Either that or people are answering questions from the voices they hear in their head..LOL

I am pretty sure that is why some blogs get so nasty, a lot of miscommunication due to some posts not showing on individual screens.

Ms Lori,

It helps if you refresh your screen every now and then. That is why Ms. Virginia is always talking about F5…lol You can refresh by hitting that key.

chas

Sorry about your father Virginia, Lori, I know Pres Bush loves his girls, Hi Chas,elaine, got up late this Morning, got home late last night.
Sal

chas,

I do refresh but still there are missing posts. For example, Elaine addressed a posts of Virginia’s saying Dick Van Dyke is her favorite. I have no posts showing any reason Elaine would say that.. LOL That is just one example, it happens often.

My husbands theory is because I am on a Y FY laptop.. LOl But I don’t trust his answer..LOL

When I watched this blog for weeks before i posted, I thought you guys were all hearing voices in your heads..LOL Much didn’t make sense to me..LOL Now I am understanding why..

OK Friends and Bloggers,

My life is calling loudly.

Be kind to your democrat friend today in her absence, we have feelings too ya know.. LOL I promise I am not cheating on you with “other blogs”..LOL

xoxoxoxox to all

I am also on a laptop with WiFi. And it is possible that I miss things or people miss things I post, but I just try not to get worked up about it.

I wouldn’t think being a laptop or WiFi could have any effect on the viewing of the web page.

But then again what do I know?…lol

chas

By Ms. Lore, enjoy your day.

Chas

it isn’t things I POST, it’s things others post… Very odd … My curiosity is getting the best of me, I will put that on my to do list.. Note to self..lol find out reason posts are missing.. lol

lol Ms. Lori perhaps they are falling into the digital divide.

chas

I know what you mean Lori I was wondering about that.
Sal

Okay….Dad thinks I am working on a book of my experiences, so he is watching t.v. now, and I can play in my most favorite place. He is just talky today..:) I must scan to see what I have missed!! I will scan and come back…………lol

Oh…Lori is gone?? Bye!!! lol

This is too funny really. I am not missing very many posts..some but not many. I have mozella firefox I think, and I go to google I think? and then do the fox and friends, which is on my thingy…now, how’ that for an explanation??? Yep…sounds girl direction mode to me!

Yes, she heard the calling of real life…lol

chas

Elaine…Dick Van Dyke can definitely be on the tic with Pierce…yes, they would make a great team I think….lol I am wadding thru what I misssed….the short term being not very good, must scamper to look…maybe I need to take notes? old fashioned tech with new? lol

Hi Sal…you are here too. I think? You are still here? Distractions can be sooooooooooooo annoying even when it is the very precious daddy person.

Lori, my comment about Dick Van Dyke stems from the Alec Baldwin comment and then on to then next comment about puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurty, I totally am reading things right and understand pretty much what everyone is saying.

Pierce can be President? I think not, you have to be born here to qualify.

chas

Now, you must understand that I do the recognition type of directing so telling someone how to get to my house, can be very complicated, if they move something that I consider a land mark..put there strictly for my convenience, of course. Soooooooooo, when they moved the public library from the corner where I turn to get home, I was lost for weeks on end…I cannot tell you how many times I ended up at the mall!!! instead of home, which, of course, was not a tragedy, as I am sure I thought I needed whatever, as I was there anyway??? Yes, that must be it!!!! Unfortunately, I found my way home quite nicely the day I was robbed in my driveway. Does God have a sense of humor? I just think he does!!!!!! And where was the boy, who pulled up right behind me every Thursday without fail, which is why I was paying attention and landed at home instead of the mall? Well! so be it, the little thugs. Weren’t they surprised when there was no money in the wallet and all the cards were maxed???? Yeppers…you bet! lol

chas, not president! puuuuuuuuuuuuuuurty!

jAh Chas….a detail, and he is purty to the total max, and will be, like Sean, no matter how old he gets!!! Yes!!! Purty, purty. purty. Is that not a good enough reason? Welllllll, perhaps not..I guess

Oh Elaine…we are saying the same thing at the same time. We posted Cesar at the same time last nite. I laughed my head off. We are definitely on the same page, my most cunning of secret agents!!! Yes, we are!!! lol

Dont it sound like the media wants Clinton out, I do have to say she is tougher then Obama, I still think she will get the nomintion, dont get me wrong I like McCain, but she is tough.
Sal

If purty is a major qualification for office it’s a good thing I don’t want the job…lol

chas

Viginia, yes we are! LOL

Of course Sal. Most of the media had been pulling for Obama from the start.

Now they have good reason to want her gone.

But I believe she isn’t going anywhere as long as she can afford to stay in.

chas

Good morning everyone all of you are such early risers this blog is going to be huge before the end of the day hate waking up to ali not being there she just lights up the screen when she is on but then i have all of you bloggers to brighten up my day

virginia wasnt that show great last night with the dog whisperer

Sal, I know, this whole thing baffles me, Hillary is most definately very strong, I am still trying to figure out why so many are endorcing Obama?

Pat….cunning agents are not supposed to sleep late!!! But, me thinks you were in heaven with your flowers whilst you sipped on your morning coffee? Yes…that must be it! lol

chas, you would probrably make a wonderful candidate.

I think Hillary is staying in for that reason. She is strong, albeit, out of favor by all, apparently. I must think she thinks she will be able to sway supers to her, even tho they may have already committed? It isn’t written in stone until they actually vote, I think, or so I understand. lol geezzz, I can’t hit the keys!!!

Well, yes…Chas would, however, his is not crazy!!!! just smart:):) I wonder who else we have missed, because of the hateful nature of the whole play of the Captains and the Kings???

Hey Chas if Clinton doesnt get the nomintion she should run as an Independent, that would shake things up, dont you think.
Sal

i am not a good morning person worked 4-12 shift in my younger days and never got out of that mode i wander around for two hours or so before my brain cells start to function properly or lay in bed and watch tv hoping something will stimulate that said brain

and sins of all sins i dont drink coffee i have a glass of pepsi that gives me some of the caffeiene

i am sure the clintons have some sordid something up there sleeve as much as i dont like her politics, i have to say she is tough and she is smart and surely no one can call her a wimp she will stand up and fight to the end no way is she going away a much lesser person would have taken their marbles and gone home a long time ago

Ms. elaine,

The answer to the Obama thing is easy and I have said it before, race trumps gender in politics.

I wouldn’t be electable Ma’am. I actually know and understand what the Constitution says.

chas

And….of course, the ever present power thing. The junior senator is the one they think can take the white house back. They think the nation is “ready” for this. I would agree, but, why him? There are good men out there, so why this man at this time? His youth, lack of experience, friends, wife!!!! are a very curious bunch of radical leanings. I think they think he can be controlled easier than the Hillary! Yes, I do, however, whereas that may be true of him, they have another think coming if they think they can control the very strange and no lady person, Michelle. Yep, they would have their hands full with her. lol And won’t they be suurrprriisseedd!!! Because, they are just a bit stupid, it would seem, by all accounts? Yes, again, I think that must be so! lol

Aw geezz Chas…the Constitution is an after thought these days, so no worries. lol or so the ACLU and some judges would have us believe???

I know what you mean elaine, I just dont get it.
Sal

They are talking about the gas again on Fox, I am so happy that someone is speaking up on the issue.

Sal,

It might, but she can’t raise money now, she couldn’t as an Ind either.

I still can’t figure out what she was thinking when she started to run. No sane person can believe they could win with a 50% negative rating.

chas

Ah!!! Yes, I love pepsi, altho I don’t drink it anymore…don’t know why exactly. Watching weight, cost and it being here and keeping people out of it, coffee is easier and free at work??? That must be it…the free part at work. lol

Goooood morning Alisyn !! Good morning ALIbloggers!! A personal good morning to Virginia, since she’s the lovely blogger that stayed up with me last night while being a strict mommy. Marshall, chas, Sal, elaine, and Pat .. good morning! Oh wait, I forgot someone…. LORI !! My demi-blog-friend…yay! I’m so very relieved that Gretawire Lori was not you. Of course, deep inside I knew better.

Keeping on subject: I’m not fixing dinner for my mother tomorrow, although I am going to visit and take her a hanging flower pot.

Politics: Where am I politically this morning? The same place I was yesterday. Voting for McCain in November, but not happy about that fact. I honestly think McCain could beat either Clinton or Obama, however, I think the DNC is more concerned about it being easier for McCain to beat Clinton, which is why they will push for her to drop-out. If they put Obama on the ticket, they will have a “better” chance. Why? Heck I don’t know, I’d never ever vote for him even if you paid me to do so and I mean that from the bottom of my toes. Even if you paid me one million dollars to vote for Obama, I could not and would not do it. You say, oh sheila, you so would. If you really knew me, you’d know I wouldn’t. I want to be able to SLEEP at night for goodness sakes!! This man has nothing to offer except FALSE HOPE. NO thanks, I’ll pass.

Off-subject: Wow, am I organized this morning or what ?? I’m shocking myself. If you must know, I slept until 9:15 and it really felt great. Now I’m working on my second cup of coffee. I”m not going to be around as much as I thought today as I have a kitten that is trying to die. I’m heading to the store to get kitten formula and a bottle, she’s all bones and it’s happened really fast.

I really should get a part-time job…..

This is interesting as we watch Bill, yet again, gaff after gaff. I don’t think he wants her to win. That is so clear! He doesn’t want to be “first man” and he doesn’t want to share the spot light with her….of that I am pretty certain. She should have sent him away to stay with his probable new girlfriend(s) until this was all over. Talk about a yukky person!! Well…let’s not! lol

O’Reilly put it boldly, she has a polarizing personality, I believe that’s whats hurting her, you either love her or hate her.

Good morning Ms. Sheila. It is a pleasure to see you again.

chas

what obama has going for him is his speaking when he got up at the democatic convention last time around he wowed everyone he definitely is a mesmerizing speaker but thank goodness there are lots of intelligent people around who can see past that butttttttttttttttttttttttt there are lots of people who are taken in by it.

where hillary is concerned we have been listening to her for so long we all know where she is coming from and all her dirty linen is out there

but obama who knows what is real and what is not i hate slicksters and that is my impression of him

Yeah Sheila, that’s what you need, a part time job!! :) I went to bed like a good girl after your baby girl got home. Lori had to go, but might come back we hope. Sal is here, but Marshall is getting ready for company, so he is off. Elaine and you and Pat and Chas….we wait for others to pop in as they have their coffee. Of course, that is all I see? The gods and ghosts may have snatched some into cyber space and they watch but cannot participate? lol

I’m getting so tired of hearing about Hillary and her lack of funds. Maybe she’d have to actually tap into more of her investments…you either want this or you don’t.
Bill looks so incredibly stupid standing behind her…I thought the same thing though about Elizabeth Dole. This is where my upbringing comes out I suppose. I really don’t think a woman should be president. It just doesn’t feel right to me. I mean would I want to be head of this household? Heck no, I love the fact that my husband is head of this house, although he respects me greatly and we work as a great team. But when a tough decision comes, he gets final say, but it’s not a control thing. Hard to explain, eh.
So I guess in my mind, when you’re talking about the presidency, it’s similar somehow. Hillary or any woman as our president just doesn’t “feel right” to me. I’m just an old fashioned girl.

Good morning Sheila.
Virginia, why wouldn’t Bill want her to be president, if she was to be president she would go down in history as the first woman president and he would be part of that history.

Morning Pat.

Right now I”m watching about the cyclone food rationing. Makes me feel really bad actually because we have a whole shelf of such types of food. We’ve really reduced how many starches we’re eating each day.

HHmmm YOu know what??? I’m going into my pantry right now and I’m pulling 75% of my rice, potato and pasta boxes out and bagging it up. We have a huge benevolence program at church, so I’m going to drop it off over there today.

Not trying to toot my own horn here… not looking for praise… I was just thinking out-loud. I do that alot if you haven’t noticed yet. Maybe my out-loud thoughts can encourage others.

morning chas

hope you slept well

Pat…I agree in that he is a very charismatic speaker. I believe also there are many uninformed who will believe the promises with no inspection of what it really is. I think, however, there are just as many who are really just clueless i.e. celebs and chats on the sidewalk…..that group is just as apt to vote name recognition. So, I think that group is an NA, in so far as they will push the button for their party, regardless, and the others will not vote for the junior senator because of his name…and then there is the group who won’t bother to vote at all. We are about to find out. I think McCain will win, altho the most unexpected candidate, for sure, and not the one I would have plucked out of the group. He may be just the man, to our collective surprise, that is exactly the one with the character and credentials to beat this socialist/marxist agenda which is being thrust upon us as an American new idea. Not, not, not. We do recognize this evil for what it is, and hopefully will prevail. Well…we will prevail I am sure. lol

Sheila, I used to think like that too, but look at other countries where women rule and what about Queens?

Slept fine Ma’am, thank you.

That’s a nice thought sheila, too bad those knuckleheads aren’t allowing much relief to get through.

Toot away Sheila. As we stumble along trying to address everything sad, the church is an excellent place to make these programs work. We have one, and I will do just that, in concert with and support of your effort! Good reminder, as I sit here trapped. I am sure hubby as already contributed at church, where I am sure they are actively addressing this, as they alway do at every major, and minor as a matter of fact, event. A good reminder to stay focused. There are other things going on than pedicures, elections, fluff books, and cunning secret agents!!! lol

I don’t like Queens either. lol I think it’s easier for people that were born and raised in those countries because it’s all they’ve ever known, it’s been their countries culture for who knows how long. So if I was born in one of those countries, I’d probably have a different feel about the whole thing.
Times have changed though, I am seeing that through my daughter. She’s very respectful, yes, she’s very independent. She let’s her boyfriend pay for most dates, but then insist to pay for some herself. Difference here though is that he has a job and she doesn’t. When she pays for a date, he’s really appreciative because he knows that she had to save for a couple of weeks to be able to do that.

Well Chas…knuckheads is a bit complimentary for that group. I mention again…why are we surprised when despicable people do despicable things? Nope…no surprise. The hunta doesn’t care about “those” people who may have perished..good riddance I think is their point of view. Further, we can’t get in there, so we don’t even know how many casualties there are. Wicked business for sure. Blackmail, much like the Katrina and the mayor of New Orleans…yes, I think so, another despicable man, who didn’t care and does not care about “those” people. lol

although i think mc cain is not the strongest in some areas in the area that is most important to me (it might be a woman thing) is his love for this country which i dont think even is a clue to the two democrats i beleive he will protect us with his whole being just as president bush has

9-11 is never out of my mind i can still feel the anger i felt at that date and it drives me cloee to insane to think people have so put that way out of their minds

Mc cain would make me feel safe in that respect as to his other policies no matter who is elected they cant get anything done without that do nothing congress we have who coud care less about us because they are so wrooied about their re elections

immigration is a problem that gets talked to death and every once in a while some little band aid is put on it until some other elction comes along and then it is dragged out and talked to death again i have always believed that bush idea of giving them cards was a good idea at least we could maybe keep track of them its not only those coming across our mexican border there are many people who come here with work or school visas and just never leav and no one knows where any of then are

I agree with you sheila you, I just dont trust him or his friends, he has not been honest with us he makes us dig things up, thats not what I want in a person that is running for President.
Sal

It sickens me how this relief effort is possibly going to work now. They are trying something today apparently…putting a picture of the government rulers on the relief boxes, covering up the part that says Relief Aid from Tailand. They are also saying that the government is “deciding” themselves who gets those boxes. The worry is that the food still won’t be permitted to go into the villages that need it.
You know what I’d like to do with bad people like that ??? Starve them all.

Well my friends it is time for me to return to the real world. I have things that need to get done.

So good-bye my friends for the time being.

chas

talk to you later chas

Bye Chas, enjoy your Saturday. It’s been fun. Although we have really been talking politics this morning, what’s up with that???

I have to get dressed and go to the store. Be back later everyone.

OH Elaine….Bill isn’t interested in anybody but Bill. His behavior reflect that, so that is not a question at all. I am not a psychiatrist, but, the man has issues. Her presidency would not reflect on him, except badly maybe. He is the “first black president” and does not want her to share an anything “first” with him. I believe that, and it is pretty apparent as he continues to make one gaff right after another. I don’t believe it for one minute, unless he has had a stroke, or early onset of dementia or Alzheimer’s…part of the list of dementia, with other on a list of things age related, actually. lol

See ya later Chas…..lol

By Sheila also….:( See ya later…lol

bye sheila

Pat…so are your flowers calling you yet? It is a beautiful day here in Ohio. My girlfriend left on her cruise today, and my nephew left for Iraq yesterday, and dad is having a moment!! Hubby is off to church for the festivities related to may and mothers day and all things Christian that may apply. Toll free keeps ringing on my phone!!! Geezzz!!! lol

Virginia, I have questioned the fact myself, wondering why would he behave certain ways and say certain things, it’s not like he never has run for president before. LOL Out of all he is the most likely to know how to behave during a campigne for presidency. I do admire Chelsea though, the way she looks at her mom with such admiration, I’m touched every time I see that.

Who is still here? Elaine, Pat and me? Is that all…or is my puter in the land of gods and ghosts???

sal is here also virginia off topic are all your children close by you mine are spread all over this glorious land

See you later Chas
Sal

I have to run to the store, I’ll catch up with you guys later. It is a beautiful day!

I think Chelsea is amazing too. She has survived, so far anyway, unscathed by that horrible father who had no consideration for his position as both president and a father. I am hardly a prude, nor am I naive, but his behavior, in this time of instant pictures and messaging was just stupid, as well as morally decadent! Oh yes..I think I am absolutely right about this one. Another really hateful part of his personage as well. He loves Bill, and only Bill period. lol I think…lol

By Elaine…later…it’s just Sal and Pat? Everyone has a life but me???????? :(

virginia

the weather here is gloriously sunny i am a translant down her for the last year and a half from long island and silly as this sounds its just a little too mufh sunshine for me i need a cold rainy day once in a while as an excuse to cuddle to with a quilt and a book. its just not the same with all that sun shining up in long island had lots of big oak trees here we have big tall palm trees i guess i will always be a new yorker at heart

but my life is good i am healthy and loved so who could ask for more than that

I am very lucky so far. They are all here, and I am surprised by that. They have been all over, but, always come back home..again, I say, much to my surprise. We live in the capital of Ohio, so it should be no surprise. Lots going on here all the time. Surrounded by colleges and universities as well, hospitals, junior college, oh gee…there is lots going on. Active German and Irish communities, as well as Italian, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. The one boy is in Atlanta right now for a few weeks with his job, and then will be off with a friend for parts south of the border when he gets back. I hate these trips too…south of the border does not hold the charm it did when we lived down there and went frequently across to Nuevo Laredo. Oh well….life is dangerous, so the angels must be called upon daily!!! Yes, they must. I found cookies in the kitchen when I went to get a cupa…yummm!! I hope they weren’t supposed to be a surrrprissse!!!! :)

Virginia, Pat, Sheila, Elaine,
I have to go for now,
see you later,
have a great day.
Sal

later sal

Sal…jump in anywhere, tho you think you may not be able to get a word in edgewise?!!!
We haven’t contemplated a move to Fl. Have friends that are snow birds, and a few who have moved actually, and friends who are living there because it is their home. I love to go visit, but, I bet you do miss the comfort of a rainy day and chilly fall walks and all that goes with a climate that changes, and you think you will die, just about the time the sun comes out again, and it is time to plant the flowers, and summer is upon us, yet again. Yep, I bet you do miss it from time to time. We lived everywhere, but I did miss the southwest and the sun when we moved to yankee country. lol

I have a boy in colorado, one in upstate new york, a daughter in rhode island, one in long island and a daughter here its hard to get them all together at once since they all have families of their own but when we do its just wonderful i do speak to them pretty often but dont want to make a pest of myself (which i am told is only in my head)

so life is good

Aw geezzz! Bye Sal…later. lol

i miss spring most of all its the time evrything is new little tulips and hyacinths peeping their tiny heads through the earth it was always a special time to walk along the property and see what new thing met me on that day

It is all in your head, however, it is a good thing to presume that rather than be into every little thing they are doing and then they would have to run fast in the other direction? Yep, I think you have it nailed. And it sounds like you are pretty busy anyway, so they prob just get to enjoy with no fear of~~~~(((monster mom)))~~~~ lurking in the shadows ready to eat the young!!!! Yes…I think that is so!!! :):

I could have guessed that Pat. i see your beautiful flowers in my head and it is a pleasing picture I have of you and where you abide, in peace and harmony. Very nice for sure….lol So, I worry not about the world so much, as I think you and I are still in the majority and our lovely children will carry forth all that is necessary for the survival of the world as we think it should be. Yep, I do!!!

yes thank goodness we have made these splendid human beings

I don’t think we are going to be able to really do as Marshall wished….make the blog big for Alysin on Sat…..whew! I am windy, but, i will need some help…it is sunny and pretty here also, but, I will not be able to get out. lol

i hate to do this but i am going to go for a while also have to do some chore type things be back shortly stay happy

do you have a yard you sit out in

The comments regarding the taking care of the old. We have been very lucky in that mom died quite suddenly, in fact, we couldn’t get there in time. Dad is still here, of course, and did spend a little time in the nursing home, as the move was traumatic to the max…..and very unnerving for all concerned. I think it is always best to leave people in place if possible. Dad was an independent soul, with his airplanes and missionary projects, and friends around him, both those that took gross advantage, and those that were better stewards to their friendship. With mom gone, it just didn’t matter…he is retired military, so he has his pension and he was free to do as he pleased. He was still teaching when he was 80yrs old, so he is pretty amazing. Having him here is great fun and we are having a ball, but, the moment could come when that is not so. We just take it one day at a time. lol My daughter is a skilled care taker, and so that has been an amazing gift…the “Hand” is ever present I think…..He’s always there, as promised…yep!! lol

You are off, but, yes I do. A deck with a patio attached and a pool we put on said patio every summer for all to enjoy. We spend the whole time out there from the moment we can until the snow falls and drives us in doors, and the dark of winter descends to all things sunny and wonderful.
The baby girl just got here, and altho we have established I am a bit confined, she does pop in to check on her grandfather and her mama!!!! Good kids all…yes, I agree. Don’t work too hard, and I will check back in to see who has a free moment…don’t want anyone talking about me!!!!!!!!!!!! I (((( willllllllll rrrreeeettttuuurrrnnn))))……lol

hi virginia

well enough of that chore stuff for a while my neighbor across the oad feeds stray cats well one of the mamas has just brought some of kittens along with her they are too cute for words

Sun just peeked out here in Southern MD, but more rain on the way. It is also well below the normal temp. Grass is too wet to cut.

So no sitting out and no yard work. I’ll have to take care of the grass after work on day this week.

How’s everyone this afternoon?

chas

hi chas

gosh i havent seen a rain cloud in ages sun sun sun thats florida and no trees to keep some of the brightness away i know it sounds like i am complaining, well yeah i guess i am
everyone needs a rainy day now and then

i emailed two places asking for some advice for getting your wifes organizaion out one is Families United Mission you might like to go to their sit and the other is band of mothers both very impressive sights in my estimation

Hi Pat,

As I remember it rained everyday in FL when I was stationed there. Of course it only lasted an hour and 15 minutes later you couldn’t tell it rained.

chas

where were you stationed my son was stationed at fort walton beach when he was an instuctor there

Pat,

I just need to correct the site thing. The site isn’t hers, she is just one of the quilters. But it is great that you are willing to spend your time to help out the org. My thanks to you Ma’am.

One of the most effective things I found to use is a copy of that letter. It tends to move people. Please feel free to copy it, since I’ve already removed the names.

chas

I was at a Nike Hercules site in Coral Gables, just on the Dade/Broward line.

i realized it was not hers i will try to paste the letter i sent here so you can see what i wrote and let me know how it sounds. here it is

hi i have a requeat i hope you might be able to help me
with i talk to a gentleman on alyson cammeratas blog from
fox and friends. his wife makes quilts and ias associated
with a group called quilts of valor. QOV is their website
if you might find the time to visit it their purpose is to
make quilts for our young men and women in iraq who have been
injured and as they are brought to a facility are given these
handmade quilts. the group needs more exposure.
could you direct me to a place that might help them
or contact them directly everything is done by volunteers
if you could help in

WOW, you can cut and paste…lol

What a nice letter. I hope there are some results that help the org out.

I’ve tried many but have hit a no response every time.

Well hello again Alisyn and the Ali-Bloggers.

Picked up a birthday card for my dad and some kitten food for the sick one. She’s not doing good at all away from her bros and sis, so I am dropper feeding her and then putting her back in the box. Mama hasn’t been back for a while.
I think we’re going to put all of them in the garage tonight with a litter box for mama. She can’t seem to keep herself out of the wet grass enough for these kittens to ever get dry. None of them are looking great.

Jenna Bush is getting married today, good for her. It’s great that they are locking out the media and keeping the wedding attendance low. My goodness i think we had more people at our wedding and we are no bodies.

Town was a zoo, especially the garden store. The line was so long that it caused me to walk all the way through to the other end to go to the registered less visited. A good walk never hurt anyone.

Hi Ms. Sheila,

It’s nice to have you back.

chas

Thanks chas… it’s very nice to BE back.

Anyone keeping up with Sat. news? much going on we can talk about?

I haven’t except this mornings. I try and keep my news at a smaller amount on the weekends…lol

But at least earlier we got to change from Pedicures to policy. Changed from thicklish to talking points…lol

chas

Right now I’m watching a crossroads with Sara Evans and someone I don’t know, Maroon 5 or something like that.

chas

Hi all…we have been watching cowboy movies…grandpa and I, that is. Hubby is mowing the lawn, went to fine the weed wacker only to discover that one of the kids had walked off with it. He was just a teeeeeennnnyyyy angry, but, I told him to call and chill. Obviously it was time for him to rest…don’t rail..go with the flow!! It’s back and he is out to finish the job….pizza for dinner, so all is well, and cowboys are still on…haven’t watched the news, so I don’t have a clue what disaster has happened…and it is very pleasant I might add. Soooooooo, all is well????

Looks like I am not the only one who has had a nice afternoon..of no news. They are not putting the wedding on t.v. I don’t think, but, I hope we get to see some pictures. And yes, it is small…I have more than that just for coffee sometimes!!! Good for her….lol geezzzz…I can’t type!!! lol

Well…I will practice while I get ready for the F5 event…:):) Unless, of course, everyone took a break at the same time??? lol

All is well. The media is all over this delegate issue though about obama taking the lead. Like I care? I’d love to get Lori’s take on it all this afternoon.

Well….my son is sitting here watching a war movie, it’s pretty violent.

I believe we are going out for the evening after I fix us some supper. We’ve already gone out to eat twice this week, so I must cook us something this afternoon.

It’s going to rain tomorrow, so hubby is getting ready to mow a bit outside. I’m cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry. Sure wish I had a steamer as I have way too much ironing to do.

I am in the mood for some cards. Anyone play on-line somewhere? I like euchre!!

Well, finally!!! I was getting ready to go all the way out and come back. Tall T with Randolph Scott!!!!! He was also purty!! Must be lawn day due to rain tomorrow. That is why he is doing it today also. lol

Sheila…so where are you going? Or did you say and I didn’t find that…..or is it just out for the pure enjoyment. I also like euchre, but haven’t played for a long time. There was a table at Christmas and some were playing, but, I didn’t. Was busy with other guests. Was fun listening to them. Oh course, we have a card club, but, that has also not been active for several years. Everyone just got busy in the middle. We keep threatening to start up again, but it seems that things just keep happening, so we continue to wait. Maybe I will gather everyone up after I am healed!

Sorry, it got quiet so I watched the cartoon Spider Man. Yep I still watch some cartoons.

chas

Where is Lori? She hasn’t checked in today yet? She is prob just as frustrated as everyone else, I would think. I haven’t heard today, and that is fine. You will have to tell me if anything “new” happens as grandpa has the remote now!!!! :) And he may, for sure…:)
It is posting Virginia comments again……..gods and ghosts…lol

Lori was in this morning. I think she plans to return this evening.

chas

Spider Man is one of my favorites, so I am inclined to also watch the good ones. Bat Man is a favorite in fact :) I think they do a good job with it and it is fun to watch. I also like the movie versions they have done as well. I haven’t seen Iron Man yet…but, I will…:)

hi sheila

yes its nice they are keeping jennas wedding closed to the press that is one of the things i like about george and laura bush family and country are important to them remember when he first became president and the girls were doing things college girls werer doing and the press just grabbed onto that

My mind is going for sure. I hope she comes back and checks in. It has been beautiful today…rain tomorrow, or so they say. Since I am not leaving the house, I don’t care. Steaks for dinner, I understand for Mother’s day, so that will be nice. It would be nice if it was nice and we could go on the deck…the back yard is still a bit of a winter mess, but, it is still nice to be outside.

hi sheila

yes its nice they are keeping jennas wedding closed to the press that is one of the things i like about george and laura bush family and country are important to them remember when he first became president and the girls were doing things college girls werer doing and the press just grabbed onto that

Chas…it’s so nice out people are busy with the outside. I would be too probably if I wasn’t doing the ankle thingy. It has been a nice quiet day, actually, other than the weed waker incident and the irritation factor. He’s happy now, and the job is done, and they didn’t hang out after they brought it back…skedaddled out like a scaled cat for sure.
Are you there Sheila? Is the kitty doing ok…holding it’s own, so to speak. The mama won’t take care of it if she thinks it won’t live anyway. We had a pup die because mama take care of her. Lots of tears…but, it happens sometimes. He was so new, there was no saving him.

Hi Pat…yes they did. The Bush girls were not off limits like Chelsea was, and I thought that was too bad. But, they can take it and people were not too hard on them. I think the country was in tune with the kids being off limits mostly. One good thing that came out of the Clinton years anyway…:):)

my neighbor across the way feeds cats and one had kittens not too long ago and has just brought them here they are so darn cute and the mama must feel they are safe as she brought one at a time and then leaves them and goes back to wherever she was staying

So you have kittens in your front yard to see to Pat? They are adorable for sure. Is there a shelter for cats? We have one, and it is wonderful. They find homes for them…no destroying of kittys going on. We have a cat, and he is fixed…no kittens running around from Buddy for sure. Ahhhhh!!!! Randolph Scott is saving the girl from the evil bandits that want her father’s money. Yes! I love westerns!!!

IM was great. Sorry, littlr girl is on the phone.

chas

i think daddy must have told the girls, now look you are going to be watched very carefully and that was enough to make them behave jenna is so much like her mom she even sounds like her when she talks isnt this so much better than talking about hillary and obama

This is really slow today….but, Randolph Scott killed Richard Boone the evil bandit, and walked into the sunset with the rich widow, saved to our great relief!!!!!! Now, John Wayne…purty for sure!!! In Three Faces West. That will be fun. I think hubby is back to church for something else that is going on. I have lost track of everything. At least my fingers are working now!!! I was getting a little worried there for a minute.

I’m in and out today. Hubby is working on the weed wacker and being very vocal about the whole event. Then we have a loud war movie here in the family room. My son is a real history buff, I think I have shared, and he can sit and watch war movies for days. He will tape stuff off the history channel and watch it after school. My grandpa used to tape movies off of cable before we ever had dvr or tivo. He’s gone now, but son will still sit and watch them. One day he was watching a Navy Seal documentary. He says he wants to go into Criminal justice on the federal level. He’ll do it to, smart boy that he is and nothing stops him from learning as much as he can.. always been like a sponge. He’d be a good history teacher, too, but he says that doesn’t pay enough unless he became like a college professor. He’s very good at Bible too, so he’s considered going to one of the Christian colleges and teaching Bible history. Oh who knows what the future hold for this boy? Yeah, did I mention that he’s only 15? Even when he was eight years old, you’d think you were talking to a 30 year old. He can sit on the floor with a two year old and do a puzzle, then sit on the couch with an old man and talk about D-Day for hours.
I’m very proud of who he’s become, can you tell? He recently convinced his guitar teacher to NOT vote for Obama and why. LOL

So I wonder if people who work for Fox follow any of these webpages on their day off or do they make a promise to their families to stay off? If I were Alisyn, I would stay away. She has a big family to take care of and tends to work some stinky hours, that’s for sure. But I’m sure they are very proud of their momma.

The kitten isn’t going to live long. Only so much I can do. Momma cat is just sitting outside of the box waiting.

Oh yes, I think so. A wedding is always nice, and I happen to think they deserve a moment of peace from this hateful atmosphere. The ranch was a perfect place. Good for her!!!! But, I would really like to see her and the dress and some of the festivities…nosy? Yes…for sure. We’ll see what they decide to do. And of course, I would like to see Laura and what mama wore. Is everyone having to do F5 a lot, or is it just me? Maybe I will go out and come back in….hummm, I must ponder.

Oh..where are we going tonight? I don’t know yet. Probably just for a drive, maybe for some ice cream and a movie from the Redbox.

Maybe the daughter and boyfriend will come home early enough this evening to play euchre with hubby and I. Otherwise, I may play on pogo games. That’s a great gaming site.

As I mentioned yesterday I believe, even though I am conservative I really enjoy the “Ellen” daytime talk show. A few months ago Jenna Bush was on her show and Ellen picked up the phone and called Bush 43. It was hilarious ! Can we post web addresses in here?? seems like I tried and it kicked my post. I will try it.

http://ellen.warnerbros.com/2008/01/ellen_and_jenna_bush_call_the.php

Guess you’ll have to copy and paste it into your browser.

It’s a great clip !! She’s so natural.

IT WORKED >>> LOL YAY !!! I love to see her facial expressions the whole time.

the blog is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy slow today i am sure there will be pictures i am sure her gown will be beautiful amd laura always looks perfect she is such a

sheila your son sounds like a treasure makes you so proud when they turn out well you know you have done a good job

such aady about laura in the previos post

oops once more LADY

i think the ellen show is a good show also i happened to watch it the time jenna was on have you ever seen it when ellen speaks to the old woman some priceless stuff

Hi Sheila….I think maybe President??? Why not, I say…the heck with criminal justice. :) Sounds like he is going to have a lot of choices, and I think you have every right to just be thrilled to death. It is just nice!!!! So, where are you going tonight??? I am watching westerns I guess, and hubby is out the door for a while. Grandpa has settled down a bit, watching the movies. He really likes them…but, not Gene Autry…don’t know why??? Very curious. He ask me how many movies John Wayne had made, and I told him…a lot!!!!
I have a history, theology kid too. He is bumping forty now, and it is fun to listen to all the kids when they get together. Informed and fun…yep! Makes a mom smile biggggggg!!!! After all the sleep deprivation that is a nice reward? Yes, I think so. It’s really nice with a little life experience sprinkled in. I just sit and listen…toooooooooooo fun!!!! I am with ya Sheila, for sure.
I am guessing no one sees to these sites?? Maybe Alysin might peek…maybe??? I don’t know when she would have time, actually…but, maybe.

Yuck, no use for Ellen. Sorry.

Even with a hands free I can’t be here and on the phone to my chatter box daughter.

But I am glad she likes to talk to her dad, even if she hates my jokes…lol

Cooking fish and chips for dinner, so I will be in and out.

Geez, here I thought we made progress from Pedicures to policy, from tickles to talking points and I find the talk about Ellen.

Dang, maybe the guys should just stay home…lol

chas

GLAYDS .. I love her. That first phone call was absolutely priceless. I’m trying to find it.

I always wonder if others, not just Ms. Alisyn might peek in also.

BTW did you notice that she never did actually answer the number of hits question Friday?

chas

oh chas dont get upset we need your input here to keep us informed yes its nice when your children can communicate with you and each other in a civilized manner i too virginia love to sit and just listen to them when they are all together it sometimes amazes me that i produced these wonderful human beings

I think Ellen is a natural and absolutely hilarious! I love her show, however, don’t get to watch it often. I don’t know what I am doing….well, I have been right here actually, lately!!! Yes, you can put things on the site for people to see…for sure. Or no one said it couldn’t be done, so go for it. Of course, I love the whole Bush group. I think public service is a great thing, and one would have to love it to do it…and I definitley always thought he would be happier on his ranch. It’s almost like his mama said, get in their child and save the country. His legacy, if not corrupted by evil people, should show that. I am sure he made mistakes, but, his agenda was never “evil” I don’t think, or self serving, obviously! Just my opinion. I did hear there is a new movie coming out on himself and Laura…coming out in Oct just before the elections. I wish they would leave them alone! I think they think he is running again??? Anyway…it has been a nice day…we love John Wayne too, so this should be fun!!!! And Sheila…we used to take drives on Sat night and listen to Prairie Home Companion, with Garrison Keeler (sp)…now, there is a lib with a great show, and he is funny no matter who he is targeting…lately we haven’t done that either..well, grandpa is the reason. I don’t like to leave him very long…just in case :) I have never played games on the puter, but hubby does all the time….:)

yes she did say it was a lot of hits but never actually a number

Now Chas….you simply must be patient. Ellen is fine. She put her agenda back in her pocket, so it is fun to see her. She is genuinely funny…and unlike Rosey, she decided to to her comedy and leave the other personal life decisions for another place…private…that makes it all ok. She seems to be healthy of mind and spirit, and everything else is ok. Yep, I like her, tho I don’t watch her.
Sooooo, fish and chips? Now that sounds delicious for sure. And the baby girl is always fun to talk to I am sure, even if she only politely giggles at dad’s jokes. If we are doing bug jokes, however, I might understand???? Yep! And we know I didn’t even get that one. Had to be explained! Sheesh…I am verrryyy slow from time to time…well, maybe more often than that? Yep…oh, this is better. I am telling you guys..I couldn’t get my fingers to type! Too crazy…prob having a stroke along with the ankle..let’s have every event all at once. My boss would freak out then!!!!! :)

Found it on YouTube. This is funny. worth watching is you’re looking for something to do.

Ok, Sheila…be right back and let you know………pause….

poor texas they are getting hit with so much bad weather

Chas…. so sorry that I changed the subject to Ellen. I have something else to say and then I won’t mention her again, K? I do not support such a life style as she chooses. She never used to bring it up which is why i loved her show… she was so unlike Rosie. But this year she did change and even she said it would be an “In Your Face” season…and she wasn’t kidding either. She speaks of her significant often, which does annoy me. Which is why I tape it on the DVR and fast forward to anything I do not like, that way my time isn’t wasted watching her talk of trashy stuff.
I guess she figures now that she has a big enough fan base to be safe from getting kicked off the network.

Now…since I messed up the afternoon for Chas… I will sit quietly and not say the “E” word again. LOL

Oh my God…that was hilarious. I need to go get a kleenex!!! She is such a good comedian…absolutely. I guess I should find her and make a better effort to watch. I don’t know what I am doing? Probably fixing dinner when she comes on…it’s about four or so, I think. I will have to look and see. After all, one could listen as well, even if busy cooking….thanks Sheila..that was excellent for the smiley lines for sure. Just what the doctor ordered!! lol

Actually she moans and calls me lame or something like that…lol

And I work so I never see her and most likely wouldn’t watch if I could.

chas

S’OK Ms. Sheila, not a big thing, it’s better than pedicures…lol

chas

Well, thanks a lot!!!! That is why I stopped watching to begin with, so I guess I will just wait for you to put on the funny stuff. I don’t want it in my face..please! That is too bad. It matters not, it is personal, so just stick to what you do best.
Pizza is here, and hubby is getting ready to leave. He is such a nice guy!!
Chassssssss!!! Are you there??? We will behave, I promise. Where is Will? Did he take the weekend off? or is he on and not talking. He is prob in his hammock relaxing with the fire pit. I am sooooo jealous!!!!!!

i really never watch her show i will be on a fox overload and surfing through the channels when neil cavuto comes on and might catch something

chas is tough sheila he can deal with us

Pat….Texas..where? The nephew is there, and my sis is there to help as he had heart bypass, so things are a little dicey right this minute…he is fine. One day at a time. I should turn on the weather and see if I have to worry too much.

I am here. Just finished the fish and chips.

What kind of Pizza? I love a good junk pie, thin crust. Yummmmmm

chas

pat…shhhhhhh…i am whispering so chas won’t hear..click over and watch the clip. it is truly hilarious, i promise.

Chas…he usually makes his own, but, this is Degerno (sp) and actually is good…just pep and cheese..nothing fancy. It does tast good, but, not as good as his home made. The fish and chips sounded wonderful…yum! Thin crust is my favorite, but, this was not as it happens…:)

Huh? Did someone say something?…lol

chas

i have already seen it virginia and it is hilarious

i tell you chas there is no pizza like a new york pizza i sure do miss that down here and new york bagels those my daughter sends me sometimes

chas needs some manly men in here with him to keep him awake

oh my gosh i am watching fox they have on these amazing computers

I am like we all seem to be, watching FOX anyway, but, especially right now. This election has got everyone on their toes waiting for the next thing to happen. I am sure that is what is on, unless I have switched over to sci-fi for Star Trek, or something else fun and not of this world (as far as we know, anyway)…or Dog Whisperer…just depends on what the pundits are talking about and who they have on. In the summer it doesn’t come up as we are all outside. AND, now I will be rushing home to see what is going on here!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes….so between this, and my forwarder e-mailing girlfriend, I may continue to have button marks on the tush, even after I am healed!!!!!!

Philly has some pretty good Pizza too Pat.

With the added attraction of cheesesteaks.

chas

I’m watching Gray’s with the wife from whenever it was on…lol

chas

philly cheesesteaks cant be beat

WAKE UP Chas…….no sleeping after eating whilst listening to us!!! Pat, I am just getting so I can use this, and they have something out that is going to replace, in fact, have to replace as this will be obsolete??? Pleasssseee nooooooo!!!!! I simply must look into the DVR thing or tivo. It must be done, so I can learn how to use it and too much fun when nothing is on…yes! I have plenty of time, so I should call my cable company Monday and ask about it. Prob not expensive either…yes, I must remember to do that. And make the mortg paymt, so they won’t be talking about me on the news!!!!

Ms. Virginia,

I have TiVo and it is true, it changes the way you watch TV.

The only time I see an AD is when I watch the News on FOX or a football game.

I can’t even tell you when my favorites shows are on. I watch them from the now playing selection.

Hey, have you tried your computer lesson yet?

chas

This is not affecting me as I am now full, or I would have to have a hungry manic event!!! I don’t think one thing has been mentioned yet that I don’t like or would like. Yunmmmy…Gray’s Anatomy is one that we like also. With the news, again, I haven’t seen a lot of what I do watch normally. I liked Life, the one about the detective that was wrongfully imprisoned and when he got out they had to pay him a fortune, but, he went back to the job, and is trying to find out who really committed the crime. Now, this excellent show was on for five seconds, and the strike happened and I haven’t seen it come back on. Did anyone get into the Heroe’s show? It’s gone too, so we will never know if the world gets saved or not…strike, again bumped it off. Now, Burn Notice is just plain old fashioned fun to watch and it is coming back on..except I keep forgetting about it. They are showing re-runs right now, and will premier with new shows in June sometime..now, I love that one, and am glad to see it come back. I am not going to proof, so figure it out if I leave something out!!! I am so windy sometimes, if I proof it takes forever. Did I say sometimes???? geezzz!! :)

what’s going on ?

chas….I knew you could handle it or I wouldn’t have brought it up. You’ve shown your thick skinned when we talk about those foot massages.

On a sad note, the kitten has passed on. For the best I think as it was beginning to be miserable. The other three have perked up now and I have cleaned out their box, given them new food and water. Now I have to watch and make sure the stupid mama comes back. She was here earlier and stays just close enough to see them. So mean. This is going to be her last litter as this is her third and she isn’t being responsible like normal.

I’m glad Fox news isn’t on right now. It is a refreshing change. lol I get too caught up in it all. The boy’s movie is over and now he wants to watch Schindler’s List. We haven’t let him see that yet, but he’s done so much research about it all that he may as well. It’s pretty a pretty rough movie. BUT, it’s good that we don’t ever forget. It’s really nice outside though, he needs to go outside for a long while.

What should I fix for supper? Tomorrow I do nothing for the family, which will be a refreshing change. lol So I guess I will get off my buttocks and fix something to eat. Smoked sausage, pork n beans .. and maybe some fried red potatoes.

My son says that Mama cat is back ! yay! She’s actually laying in the box with them. Maybe she did sense that the kitten was dying and didn’t know what to do so she stayed away.
We have people that want these kittens so I am really hoping they live… they are really pretty. Four cats is enough…barn or no barn.

virginia you sometimes make my head spin you have a wonderful imagination and spout out the words so charmingly

Chas….I have not but will. It has just been that kind of day…nothing going on actually, but, everything going on. I am positive I will need to be able to concentrate :) if I am going to do this…so, dad has been waxing nostalgic, lots of questions, and hubby has been in and out, and the kids zoomed in with the weed whacker and flew out before he had a chance to chastis them…one of those kind of days.
That’s what everyone says. I think part of the hesitation was the learning of, so I think that is a pretty dumb reason not to take advantage of this new technology. I am getting so brave, now that I have moved out of the just e-mail part of my electronic experience. Work stuff, is like e-mailing….and pre-set programs, so no real experience with new anything. Nice, as one is comfortable with the puter, but, that is all work is. So, yes tivo or DVR….and, no, I haven’t done my lesson yet. It should be quiet in the morning for a couple of hours, and I thought I would emplement the instructions then so as not to be disturbed.
The hubby is going to a ball game, not to church. I was wondering what on earht was going on there. He’s already been once today…I really should pay better attention!!!!!

sheila my neighbor who feeds the cats gives the mama and the babies evaporated milk these are all feral cats ands they all do remakably well

sorry about the baby kitty isnt nature intriguing

We used to watch Survivor, but haven’t gotten into it this time. We like American Idol and I am voting for David Cook to win it all. We used to watch 24, that was an awesome show..hope they bring it back, but we started watching it from someone’s complete season DVD set. So we do NOT watch it live, we DVR it and flip through the commercials. Let’s see, we watch House and Bones… and Hell’s Kitchen.
We have season dvd packs of Alias and X-files..Stargate SG. We’re also MASH people, still don’t have all the seasons yet though.

I’m not sure about Cable, Virginia, if they have a DVR type system or if you have to purchase a TiVo, but it’s good money spent. We have Dish network as our provider.

Totally agree with chas, you will never watch Tv the same again. I can’t stand watching commercials now and even refuse at times. lol

Pat…I am glad to have company in the head spinning land. It was pretty lonesome and (((scary))) spinning out there all by myself. Yikes!!! I told you we were a lot alike!!!!!! Yep, for sure!

Ms. Sheila, if I didn’t like it I could always leave.

The massage thing didn’t really bother me. Fact is I can’t recall a single lady I went with in my single days that didn’t like them. So it’s not like I don’t know you ladies like certain kinds of special care.

I never quite understood that, but hey what the heck it worked well for me…lol

The other thing I didn’t understand I won’t bring up because I don’t want to go back to yesterdays topic…lol

chas

hhhmm….what could chas be referring to? this is going to drive me crazy. waxing? LOL

I have Direc TV Ms. Sheila and the same dish does my internet.

Out where I live the phone system was old so I got the dish mostly because of the computer.

The TiVo came shortly there after.

chas

my dvr is in the cable box its part of the package but different companies do different things

virginia you might have it and not even know it my granddaughter was the one who showed me how to use it

Geezzzzzzzzz!! No wonder we all get along! I like all those shows, and I miss a lot. Then, I may be up too late to watch a re-run. I guess this is pretty dumb! We will implement this immediately. I actually think WOW does the DVR? Well, I will call and find out. You are absolutely correct and dumb to not get this done. The I can go on my merry way and never have to worry about being on the couch poised again???? Well, maybe poised, but not for my favorite show, only to find out they have canceled it for an emergency special of the junior senator throttling Hillary in a moment of madness, and Michelle has blocked Bill, effectively I might add, and he has been permanently injured…….well, perhaps I should stop there, as there are potential children peaking over Sheila’s shoulder?????? Yep..betcha there are….:)

come on chas share you will have the three of us going crazy all night thinking about it

Watching last nights O’Reilly now, (as he tries to change the subject)…lol

chas

its 3 against 1 chas give it up

Oh Pat…that would be hilarious if I did…and I absolutely would not know, nope!!! I will definitely let everyone know if I was that incredibly….well, dumb!!! It wouldn’t be exactly my fault however, as it is a gene thing and I AM DUMB!!!! geezzzz! lol

Nope Pat. Actually I already made reference to it today.

Ha Ha Ha. No that will keep you busy looking for the clue…lol

chas

dont worry i had it a good 6 months and didnt know it

Chas~~~~ooo, that’s too cool. hummm@@@@@@@@ooo,yes. Well anyway, I guess I don’t have to play with all the buttons. I watched a little of O last nite when I went to bed, and then again when I got up at the crack of dawn thismornig, so I don’t think I am going to watch it one more time. Was it very good? I kept getting distracted by one thing or another…oh! Hubby had the remote, so I did watch part of it late, but, went to sleep. That’s right. The McCain interview…I am not interested. I did watch Hill because I was curious. Not curious about the boy. Waiting to see if the junior senator is going to come on. Are we taking bets??? NO..he will not go one. Doesn’t have to. He’s got the nod, so why take the chance. NO…he won’t come on….:)

PLEDGED Delegates… that’s where they are getting this numbers from? you have to be kidding me !!!

The boy is gone… I get the TV back for now.

Here is a good question on the tv .. are the press trying to get hillary to quit ???

Chas…i will leave you alone about it. but I am still thinking about what it could be..

be back .. time to work in the kitchen.. a woman’s job is never done.

Oh boy, politics instead of pedicures…lol

I think you are wrong Ms. Virginia. Obama will come on, maybe not for the primary but he will because FOX reaches so many independents he simply has to or McMedia will get them.

chas

I await your return Ma’am and look forward to the reunion.

chas

cooking… but had to say something…I found it.

“ticklish points ”

LOL

See…a wise man is Chas. What subject??? yesterday….humm? I seem to remember being just a leeetttttllllle silly, myself…I may have needed another pill? Oh dear…I can’t remember if I took my pill to begin with…and what about today????? geezzzz!!!!! Welllllll…..hum…I must ponder yet again,,,,(pondering..) Could that be why I CAN’T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO TYPE??????? wELL..SEE? Where is that stuuupid cap button anywayssssss!!!!! Ah.. ok…i’m ok everybody…really, just fine. I am sure I don’t need my pill anyway. In fact, after pondering, I think indeed it is NOT the pill, but the nails!!!! Yes. I do think that is it. The hair has grown and the grey is peeking out arond the face, and so you can imagine what the nails look like. I can practically pick my fork up from the kitchen table whilst at the puter table. Yes, Chas, something must be done immediately…no wonder I can’t type..geezzz!!!
Ok…enough about nails and things. Whatsup Chas???? lol

You have way too much time on your hands Ms. Sheila…lol You should be tickled to tears for that, *chuckle*

chas

i like to watch o reilly intil he gets too full of himself then i flip over to food channel, national geographic or animal planet no brain power needed there

I grew back my Goatee and found about half my chin is gray. Still dark on top though.

chas

do you have a moustache too

I like the Miller Time and Pinhead parts…lol

chas

It use to be a Fu Man Chu (sp?). Think John Rich, older, uglier and with a lot less music talent…lol

I just filled in the gap.

chas

Sheila…yes delegates. What have they said. The pledged is just that…until they vote they matter not. That is why Dean wants the vote now, and that is why Hillary is trying to delay. Ahheehaahee! See what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive Dean, you dumb jerk! I don’t have a clue what you are talking about. I am watching…well, listening to Greyfeather, again, so was something on the news about delegates!! Oh shut up!!! NOT really???? I find that hard to believe…again…and again..!! Yep! That’s what she is after….lol

i like when martha mc callum and steve doocy do the trivia thing i think martha is just too cute

i like the trivia quiz with steve and martha i think she is too cute

I think Hillary hopes for a surprise, or another surprise against Obama. Something close to the end thaqt she can use to show he can’t win. Neither of them can, but that is beside the point.

chas

Hello chas, Virginia, Pat and Sheila, I hope that I didn’t leave anyone out, who else is here? WOW!!! The posts are over 500! You guys have been busy! LOL

You are growing your go tee and I am trying to make sure I don’t have one…now, God does have a sense of humor for sure, only that one thing I do consider He could have rethought…I mean, really dear Lord…not funny!!!

i like the trivia quiz with mm and sd she is too cute

hi elaine

how was your day

Welcome back Ms. elaine. I am so pleased to see you once again.

chas

Good evening fellow bloggers,

I trust your day/s has been wonderful?

Did someone mention euchre????? I am an euchre addict! LOl When yahoo wasn’t so mmmmmm “raw” I use to play daily… Haven’t found anywhere to play online. Any suggestions?

Seeeeeee I knew I would find something in common with you guys.. LOL

Pat, busy, busy, busy! How was yours, it looks like I missed out on a lot of fun here today.

uh oh obama has more super delegates the press just about has him as the winner i agree with you though chas she is not going away she is either waiting for something to hsppen or cook something up

Hi Elaine…we are back.
I like Bill O, and especially when he has Miller or Ann Coulter or Laura Ingraham and I like the old nespaper guy and the gal..he wrote the book? What is his name…on the tip of my brain, slipping off..there it goes!!! Can’t remember, darn it. But, anyway…his regular group is fun, and he does a good job, I think. In a minute I will be able to tape it and skip the parts I don’t want to watch. Yes! I like this a lot.
Are you sure Hillary isn’t planning a surprise, as apposed to hoping for one???? Chas….???? lol

hi lori welcome back

oh my missouri amd oklahoma having more tornados

Thanks chas!
Lori, what is euchre?

Elaine, euchre is a card game. Some fellow bloggers were talking of it earlier

Thank you Pat, how are you this evening?

I also like the quiz. Great segments…lol

chas

Hi Lori…we have been waiting for you. Have you had a great day? It has been beautiful in Ohio. And yes I and Sheila likes euchre anyway, however, I haven’t played for a while.

very good thanks we kind of have been apolitical today

Hi Ms. Lori. So very nice to also have you back.

chas

LOL what Pat????? A-political????? Hang on Im just checking out my window for flying pigs! LOl

Thank you chas, its nice to be back in such good company

Virginia, Hiya! Yes thank you my day has been lovely, its a beautiful day in Michigan.. How is your father this evening?

Geezzzz! Brother and nephews and babies, are in Missouri, and sis is in Tex this weekend with her boy and family, I think, but lives in Okla. Do I need to turn the news on? It will scare dad to death…he remembers some times, and will worry a little…it is that time of year you know, and common really. One just holds their breath, and try to make sure your house is built where the Indians used to camp…no worries. And that is the truth, told to me by my grandmother as I sat terrified as there was no basement or cellar…..as she calmly told me not to worry. So, I didn’t, as her house was sitting right in the smack of the middle of said spot! Here I am…must be true..:):)

Well Ms. Lori I am in good company to be certain. Not sure I bring a six-pack to the party though.

chas

LOL Chas you may not bring a six pack but your six shooter keeps all the ladies happy I think… LOl

I think I have been shooting blanks for years dear…lol

chas

Hi Lori..dad has been fine. Has ask a lot of questions, and he can’t remember, but, he is alright. I can usually make him laugh and snap out of the periodic melancholy that comes with the confusions. He’s a sweety and a pleasure. Sooooooo, we have been watching cowboy movies all day…second round with Greyeagle..but, he slept through part of it earlier so he is happy as a clam…there’s been handsome Randolph Scott, and John Wayne, and…well…the boys who made cowboy movies what they are!!! Not a very busy day, but, busy sort of….with this and that.

LOL don’t sell yourself “short” chas..LMAO

Oh Im pleased Virginia I have had him and you on my mind all afternon.. Glad all is well..

Chas….Merlot please….I still don’t have any. I need to call the girls and tell them that is what I want for my birthday…wow, I sat back and seem to be able to type better…hummmm…this is a mystery which i simply must ponder some more……….:)

Not doing the short jokes. I’d get bounced, but I have a load of them. All of them one liners…lol

chas

Ms. Virginia, tell the kids to buy you a case for Mother’s day.

chas

i am watching house hunters some woman is buying a house in honolulu

Thanks Lori…he is a great man and a very nice father…lucky girl that I am. I always tell him I am his favorite…when he asks me how many kids does he have…that is…so I start out with me, and I tell him, of course, I am his favorite, but, there is of course, the sis, and he isn’t to tell her, because she thinks she is his favorite, and of course, there is the baby brother, and being the only boy he is positive he is the only one and the favorite, so we have to keep this a secret so as to not hurt anyones feelings…by the time I am done with this, he is laughing and smiling. He probably thinks I am a crazy person and doesn’t have a clue who I am, but, thinks he better smile and act ok, as he is definitely in the house with someone who has escaped from the nut house!!!!…Hubby came down today, looked at dad, and said bye..she’s all yours grandpa!!! Dad just laughed hard..they are surrounding me!! If you push F12 nothing happens…just thought I would tell everyone just in case..pushed it trying to backspace…..:):):)

Pat, I’ll take one of those please! LOL

chas, you made me throw my head back and laugh…not once…but twice. thank you for that. LOL
I’ll leave you guessing which times.

LORI ! Yay, you’re back. Euchre, what a great card game. I have a membership at Club Pogo, but you can play there for free, too, even with club members. They have member and non-member rooms. Members can play in any of the rooms, but non-members can only play in free rooms. We should have a card party !! ON-line of course !! They have dozens of great card games. You can chat and play….and have visitors watching who can chat, too. It’s a blast.

Elaine! welcome back to the party. We missed you.

So Lori, what do you think ???? about this pledging of delegates???? what do you think about them saying Obama has a lead? I’ve been waiting for you to get here and discuss.

But…is the weekend blog supposed to be NON-political??? If so, I have broken the rules a bundle today.

FYI…to whomever cares, we are having chef salads for supper. totally changed my mind on the menu.

Pat…I saw that one..isn’t it beautiful??? I am sure it is a repeat. I am listening to Indians right now, as Greyeagle is rescuing the beautiful girl…so, I can’t look, but, I betcha it is. I love that show too.
