Yep, bunco sounds better than bickering relatives.
I have that indecision paralysis too, Wabbit. I have all kinds of paralysis it seems. Let's see what I can do with a week and a half of sailing-widowdom. I have a ton of things I want to post on ebay. And a ton of things I should just throw out. It all looks so onerous. I'm thinking that watching sweaty young men play tennis is a better way to spend my time... Going out for margie night tonight. Although I guess I have to be fairly sober, since I will have to go back out and pick up DD at the h.s. dance at 11 PM. Sunday I'm going to a birthday party for a really oooooooooooooooooold guy: he's turning 65. What do you give an old guy with only 7 fingers? I was thinking maybe a bag of dirt. Any better suggestions? Kiwi, the nuts |
Went to see Sarah Harmer last night at the theatre---she is a well loved canadian folk singer---anyway-------she had this cute folksinger from Moscow {???} Idaho!! and he opened for her----BOY was he anti-Bush---he sang a song about it and said if Bushwacker gets re-elected he was moving to Mexico for the next four years-----------the poor Dixie Chicks got in so much trouble for bashing Bush,now it seems that no one minds at all!!!!-------------regarding the cleaning and throwing out of old stuff-----------i am the worst at it but i must say----I WILL JOIN YOU ALL CAUSE THIS DUMP IS MAKING ME SICK-------------------i need a margie for SURE :dizzy:
|
I think I'll be going out for several margies! We have a dinner date w/ some old friends that we haven't seen for a long time. DH will be my driver. He comes in handy that way sometimes.
Kiwi, now that DD has her license, she's supposed to drop you off for margies and pick you up after the dance. That way you can be an irresponsible parent and drink waaay too much. You've earned it. Dang, I wish you lived next door, DH is leaving monday for the rodeo and I'm going to be a rodeo widow all week. We could have lotsa fun. This was the last day of work for one of our guys who has worked for us for 11 years. He's starting his own business doing window retrofits and one man type glass work. He seems to think he won't have to work as much or as hard. I didn't tell him otherwise. He'll find out soon enough. Anyway, it was a bittersweet goodbye today. We wished him well. Are we really going to get our houses in shape, since we haven't been doing too :lol: well on shaping up ourselves??? Maybe it will just continue on to the rest of our lives. Our houses will shape up and miraculously our bodies will fall in line. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: |
Back from the Windy City---- sort of let down. Tons o' mail to sort and maybe even answer -- will throw out what ever I can. DH is conked out asleep.... (We only did about half as much stuff as I WANTED to do, but I'm not sure I had the stamina to do more... just the desire...) I should probably go lift weights or something to really get in shape.
Found lots of wonderful places to eat. (Deep Dish pizza must surely be in my top ten list of temptations!!)... but I think I did fairly well. Wrote everything down, even though i sometimes ate more than my "recommended daily allotment.) I have no interest in getting the house in shape. What does that mean? Am also despondent because I read an anti-Kerry piece (about his purple heart) that made enough sense that I might have to take it seriously... which means that BOTH candidates are big fat liars. I didn't want to vote for a liar this year... you know? I'm not sure I can stand another 4 years of Bush's malapropisms... let alone policies and unilateralism.... and I don't want to move to Mexico OR Canada, for that matter. (Maybe I'll just drink Margies or Canadian.... there's a great solution!! :dizzy: |
if you like the climate in texas Painty---you better head for Sol Country-----Canada makes a Chicago winter seem tropical----------------we do have good beer though if you like beer {i'm a mike's girl}ANYway-------------hey kiwonkers!!! it's a beautiful day up here in the north------SOON IT WILL BE TIME FOR THE FALL FOLIAGE TOUR!!!!!! are you heading for the White Mountains????

Painty, here is what I have to say about the purple heart controversy. Have you ever been shot at? I do not doubt that once there, he used the brains that got him into Yale to get out of Vietnam. If he was my son, that is what I would want him to do. Who cares about his metals. They are unimportant.
No one says this, but he was a schmuck to go to Vietnam. We all know that. He had the money and the connections to stay out, but he was probably idealistic and he went anyway, what a fool. Bush did was we all would have done given his circumstance and connections. People are such hypocrites about this that it makes me sick. But to put Kerry on the same plane with Bush in terms of intregity is, I think, a big mistake. The people who are running our country right now are evil. I'd love to see the real numbers on # of dead in Iraq and Afganistan. I'll bet that 10,000 people have been killed there. It gauls me when we talk about 1000 americans being killed, with no mention of how many were killed on the other side....not combatants.... unarmed citizens we were liberating. I can't understand how anyone can't see what 's going on here. Do you really think that the most powerful people in the world didn't know that there were no WMD in Iraq? I knew there were no WMD. They didn't have a plane that would fly, for God's sake. What is scariest is that it really doesn't matter who wins, because these people will do anything. They have the congress, they have the supreme court...they aren't afraid to use them to cheat. Maybe they will lose the White House, but if Kerry wins,they will do to him what they did to Clinton and anyone else who gets in their way. Argh...you got me started this morning! |
the singer from Idaho the other night said "too bad we don't have an exchange program for world leaders"-------------someone from the audience yelled "no thanks" but i was thinking maybe if you had our boring prime minister for awhile==== Paul Martin==== you could take a break===he is like someone's grandfather ----- nice but boring----Prime Minister Cretien ---the french PM who just left power---he had alot more spunk---that's why we fell out of favour with the Americans---he refused to join the 'colalition of the willing'--------------at the time i was worried that you guys would hate us forever,but that seems to have dissipated-ANYway----it is quite a dilemma---- too bad that the Democratic Nominee is kinda boring but that really is not the point-------i know Clinton was a skirt chaser,but I loved his speeches!!! :lol: :lol:
|
oh yeah!!! remember when everyone used to get all up in arms at Cybermom about politics and they were flaming each other and all that!!!----i miss the good ole days----i think Dusty was probably a Rebuplican!!!------------one of my girlfriends has it down to this-----kerry gets the better entertainment---all bush has are gospel singers~!!!!
|

Anyway, the pain of election season goes on. And on. I have swollen glands in my throat or something. I need to watch more tennis. Kiwi |
Oh yeah, and I agree wholeheartedly with Lushie.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in the ABBB camp (Any Body But Bush). I'd just hoped to be able to vote for someone who could think ahead more than 5 minutes and be HONEST.
Did you know there are more laws limiting what toy manufacturers can say about their toys than there are about whether political advertisers have to be honest? Maybe I'm just mad at myself because the spin Meisters have pulled the wool over my eyes a few times. 2 sites new to me: www.spinsanity.com and www.factcheck.org. What does it say about me that I can relate better to skirt-chasing Clinton than Fundamentalists of any stripe? |
like i was saying----the skirt chaser was better --the devil you KNOW!!--plus he seemed intelligent------being a Rhodes Scholar and all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!---is Peachy in Ivan's Path??? what's going on with the crazy hurricane season!!!------------scary stuff!
|
On the Clinton thing...at least he's honest....most men when given the choice of whether to be leader of the free world or get a bj would choose a bj. Don't you think?
It is impossible to get to the top of politics and be honest. They weed them out by that time. I"m cooking today. I don't have time to get a new avatar...and I forget where the link is...and I'm too lazy, anyway. bye |
