Today is a very sad day for me. I just hope all you Dems are right about him...but, I will have to see it to believe it.

I heard a lady on the radio (I also heard this same quote on TV) this morning and she said..."YAY...now I don't have to work to put gas in my car or work to pay my rent anymore....he said you help me and I'll help you". Wow...that is sooo stupid. I just wonder how many people actually expect that. The check that people will be receiving is probably not even going to defray the "skyrocketing" electric bills that he promised. Sounds like there are going to be a lot of very dissapointed people.

Sorry if I sound bitter...but I can't help it.

Yeah, you do sound bitter. We all are allowed a day(or two or 10) to be that way so today is yours, k?

Seriously though, why not look at this as an opportunity to become a better, stronger nation? If my party had lost, I would probably feel exactly as you feel but since my party did win I cant help but feel full of hope.


Edited to add: If someone is stupid enough to think they will no longer have to pay for their bills or gas, they need to be nominated for a Darwin Award.

Lia,
Eight years?? Try three years. I don't think the democrats ever got over losing Florida to George W Bush. When the Iraq war began to drag on and no WMD's were found, the Dems found their excuse to turn on Bush and blame him for all of the country's ills.

:::sigh:::

Have a good afternoon, John.

Thanks for understanding, Bril. I do not begrudge you your hope...and I reallly hope you are not disappointed.

I really DID LOL when I heard that lady say that.

KK...butterstick???? I don't understand.

"It's natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again," McCain told his supporters. "Whatever our differences, we are fellow Americans, and please believe me when I say no association has meant more to me than that."

LOL. The man was definitely a mumbler.

Amen to that Shy. I just hope for the best, and definitely does not want to see the worse.

KK, I do not want to belabor the point- but technically, Obama is not African-American- he is an African, so really he was never a descendant of any enslaved Africans. But, no matter, the people definitely wanted change and here's hoping that those changes will be good ones.

Actually, all I thought about was- "Thank the good Lord it's over! Now it's time to do the work."

Hey Lea. if it gets too much for ya over here , we're having a party for Rady on the FO board (Fri). .Stop by and have some refreshments.

Rady is having her last radiation treatment on Friday morning.( it has been a long haul) We are having a big celebration.

I didn't just mean him or just slave descendants
Mrs. SP..I meant ALL the peeps who have been subject to racism....but specifically black peeps in this country.I was just watching BET and Busta Rhymes had me sobbing...He was so PROUD and P Diddy too...he was busting a move
In a country where a young black kid couldn't even DREAM..literally of becoming President...now
YES THEY CAN!!!
This is going to change the futures of so many kids.... it just will...So many times I have heard blacks say....we never saw ourselves on TV or in the political world and so on....We had no role models. We didn't think we could.
But now.......YES THEY CAN!!!!!

I am beside myself with happiness...Sorry but I just am..That man has made me excited again
to be an American....OK nuff Chris Matthews.lol

Anywhoooo

I don't blame ya' sweets.....Your guy lost and you believed in him.....BUT I am SO very happy my guy won.
So very.

I seriously hope that you will and we all will be proud of him.... But honestly ...many of us are diametrically opposed on some key issues and I don't know what to do about that.
How can we change that????
I don't think we can I guess you just godda' grin and bear it like we had to.

Sorry..but

But mostly it's raining tomox...I'm cursed!!!

No cart hot dogs for me.

My future heart attack will thank me later.


Good night and

(Fill in the blank)_____ BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!

KK..You are something else! LOL!!! I don't know how to spell it either.

That is true...I will deal with it. Now you are going to see how it feels to be on the other side... hearing all the Obama bashing that is sure to come...and you will have to grin and bear it like we had to...and believe me, it aint easy, I feel for you. Anyway....I am glad you are happy.

I just tried for 5 minutes to get my trunk open as
I had some stuff in there and I couldn't get the key to fit and it's cold and raining and dark I'm like WTF??? Then I saw I was trying to get into Justin's car!!
They moved the cars on me..I'm tired and stressed as my nice boss is begging me not to leave........oyyyy

I think I could do both maybe...I'll see..Now good night and it's BURQA!!!!

I look nice in it huh???

First off the implications of Jay's post were clear. "your guys" was the term he actually used. SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE. The meaning was almost identical.

The fact is that Jay would vote for someone because they have a D in front of theri name and irrationally despises all things right of center. That's his prerogative, but its a major reason why we are in the mess we are. All I want is some type of checks and balances so the rest of the country doesn't end up like the disaster that Massachusetts is. And You know what? People are stupid. People here Voted Obama in because they wanted "change" but re-elected Barney Frank, who singlehandedly cost us hundreds of Billions of dollars by pushing his lending agenda.

And here I thought you would be bitter because Obama won. From all your posts about him I gathered that when he won, if Rainbows, Stars and Unicorns didn't spontaniously start flying out of your ass, you would be dissapointed.

Oh, freakin' never mind. This is pointless.

"You guys had your turn.." What the implication there is that Bush and the Repulbican's were my guys. I thought it was pretty clear. And since the republicans lost the house and senate two years ago it was "his guys" running the legislature.

That's so wonderful about Rady having her last round of treatment on Friday! Thanks very much for the invitation, I'll definitely come by to share in the congrats and celebrations!

GO, RADY, GO!

Whatever you say.

You think It's bad here? Try living in Mass.

Q,
That was John McCain, a class act, who for the most part ran an honest campaign, stuck to his pledge to use public funding, did not complain about ACORN, and even refused to run the Wright video that Hillary used as he mistakenly thought it would be perceived as racist. It was an independent group that raised the money to air the video in the last week prior to Election Day.

I woke this morning with this song on my mind. I still get chill bumps when I hear this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFmu1eUouaA My Redeemer Lives - Nicole Mullin

The first time I heard this, I was in my car and just started sobbing. Lifted my hands up to God and let Jesus take the wheel!

For those of us in pain. or just need uplifting. Enjoy!

This is my song for the day!

And I know I said I wasn't going to be political, but I made a mistake yesterday I want to correct. Issue 5 in Ohio passed. I voted for this issue.
It was about those cash advance places who charge up to 164% in interest. The issue was to put a cap at 28%. Well, already one of the largest have closed their stores and moved out. Probably to prey on other states and take advantage of poor people who have to use them. I'd say they're needed by some but at a fair an reasonable interest rate. Also, since there were no dems on the ballet for local offices, I voted republican and they all won!!
Yipee. Gotta love the county I live in.

Good morning......Ohio peeps ROCK!!!!

Ummmmm I don't think Jesus ever passed the paralell parking test...Be careful even with
Jesus at the wheel....OK Another great country title for a

song.........
*Be Careful Darlin' Even With Jesus At The Wheel*..... Matthew 3:15

I'm making cawwffee....I'm still torn about whether or not to go with Justin and I godda' decide reet quick.
Maybe I'll ask Jesus to drive me

Ruuuuunning...actually slowly walking.
I
REALLY ain't 29 again and my body keeps rudely reminding me.

How dare it??????

Hubbby said he'd try and find you one in Pink!

Yea, I've decided to let Jesus take the wheel, cause I ain't been too good drivin myself around lately.

Go with Justin, have fun cause it's back to the work doldrums next week! Don't ever, ever miss an opputunity to have fun!

Did I tell you I might be moving to TX for awhile? GE is openning a new plant in McGowan (right across from the Mexican boarder) and hubby might have to go there to help set up the plant. I'm thinking it might be an adventure. At least it's IN the US.

Well he done left me....He said Mom it's raining.
He don't want me to go with him.lol.
I drive him nuts....Oh excuse me for liking to talk to the person I'm next to.
I tell him if I didn't drive him nuts
I wouldn't be a good mom...If your kids like you...you ain't doon' it right.
He thinks he's so independant till he needs something.
Just like ALL men....he's still 12

You know what they say 'bout Texans.

Oww I better not wth TT and AI around

I'm cracking up thinking about my father and his favorite song in his high school year book
*Yellow Rose Of Texas*
I know I've said it before but Daaaaaaad
A guy from the Bronx?????
What the hell did he know from Texas????
He was in a pick a song crunch under pressure methinks.
He's laughing right now.
We were merciless when we found that.
We teased him ALL the time.

Yellow Rose Of [expletive deleted] Texas????

He had to turn in his goombah card.

I 'm sorry to bring up dad's but I miss him sumpthin' awful sometimes.

If he was here I'd be ready to kill him after an hour

Here's for you dad.

Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaa

Oh my God Mitch Miller....I loved him.

I never even heard it for real..I thought it
was a state flower song

Kinda' catchy..lol



YouTube - Yellow rose of Texas

I love that song that Shy posted and the one you posted is great too.
I found the one Shy posted by accident one day and didn't know it was a Christian song and I do like some Christian singers and bands muchly.
I would hear them in FL. all the time and not even know...Good music is good music

Bebo I love....Especially this song

Big sigh.

This is a GREAT song.

YouTube - Drifting - Bebo Norman



He reminds me of Rufus Wainright a bit.

I ain't even gonna' do the on my knees jokes.

I just talked to A and he said it's McAllen. So I looked it up and it just across the border from Monterey Mexico. He says probably sage brush and such. Uhhh, maybe not an adventure.

Ooooh, like that one too! I've got a t-shirt that says Home is where my grandkids are!

You know I think I read a story, that the yellow rose of TX really isn't talking about the flower. I'm sure Qwacker, TT, AI know the story. Having one of those, I can't access brain things this morning.

Here's a song for my daddy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shNXmlcGuUg The Greatest Man I never knew. Sing it Reba. Sorry chuc about the country!

That one screwed up Here it is again with Reba and kelly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME5LTv1aNOY

Mornin' Shy. I've never been to McAllen. It is in South Tx....they call that The Valley. They raise a lot of fruit in that area. I don't know about the sage brush though...I would think it would be more like mesquite. I love the sage in bloom....its like perfume. To me it is beautiful...I love West Texas, it is so wild and barren and not as humid as my part of Tx. Sorry I can't tell you more about S. Texas. There are lots of Mexicans there....before someone jumps on me, I like Mexicans ...just stating a fact.

Yeah it's about a little Texas darlin'... I just watched Elvis do it.lol

Here's some stuff and I am SO not a typical leftie....BUT I am shy around guys I have crushes on for sure..othe than that...NOT!!!

Dell....Oy Big fat CEO NOT taking a pay cut.. and lol to the guy who hacked his ex place of biz and..Justin called and forgot his directions and I had to read them to him.
He still needs mum the brat..I'm going to get my oil changed soon...Godda' find a deal and then come back to the torture of algebra and fractions and then go mow down all the McCain/ Palin signs still standing. Wheeeeeeeeee
