this subject always has me very confused
some people great crazed about it
and yet some people could not care less
i am far from the person who knows
all the ins and outs of the political world
i do not follow as i should, i will freely
admit that, as for me honesty is what
i believe in
my thoughts however are clear on
what i want in an American President:
forthrightness
health care management
senior care
equality for all Americans
immigration boundaries
these are my top five, there are many
more, however these five stand out the most
i being a republican in todays world is
somewhat of a dirty word, as Mr Bush
has made some mistakes
but was he the only President to
make mistakes? was he the only one
to turn our country into a different
direction then it should have went?
i for one do not want to live in
a monarchy country, i want the
freedom to vote for who i please
just really don't know who yet
none of the candidates "floats my boat"
decision's decision's decision's ! ! !

First!!!!!!!!!!
YES, YES, YES!!!
Now you ask - WTF is she doing up this early, since she is exhausted from her week on a golf course.
DOGS were howling before 7a.m. - that's why!!!
GOOD MORNING
HAPPY MONDAY!!!
I'm off to read the blog...
HA HA HA HA
Sorry IBB!!!!!!!!!
Politics - that subject is something that my father always said was one of the "taboo" subjects at parties, etc.
SO - with that said - I will NOT be engaging in today's blog!!
I hope everyone has an excellent Monday!!! :-)
Look MEK is back and mowing over everyone in the way!!!
MEK NUMBER ONE!!!
IBBOLD..ALMOST!!!
I will have to consider today's topic. I will say that while I do scrutinize the person running for office, I REALLY scrutinize who they have around them. I remember the old saying "If you want to know what you are truly committed to, take a look around you."
Wishing all a wonderful Monday...hoping Whab and west coasters have plenty of sandbags and rain gear today.
EARLY BREAKFAST BAR:
HOMEMADE EGG "MCMUFFIN"
BAGELS
CREAM CHEESE
TO-GO SMOOTHIES
APPLES
ORANGES
BANANAS
GRAPEFRUIT
NANCY'S YOGURT W/FRUIT ON TOP
AMERICANO'S TO GO OR STAY
EARL GREY DOUBLE BERGAMOT
SWEETENERS, CREAM, MILK, SOY CREAMER
NAPKINS (BIBS FOR THOSE DRIVING)
Oh for God's sake MEK is back!!! LOL Congrats on first!!!
Good Morning IBB and NowMercy!
Oh boy Carol I think you may have opened a can of worms with this topic!!
Like you I want to see Health Care Reform and not enforced health care that the people have to pay for a policy no matter what or be fined. Hello if they are struggling how the heck will that help?
I also want Education reform. Our Education system is a mess. If we don't do something soon we will no longer be a country that can compete!
My feeling is that if we can run up a bill of 3 trillion for war than we sure as hell should be able to cover health care and higher education for our people! Somewhere along the way our priorites as a nation have gone way off course.
I always look at all of the candidates to see who closely covers the issues important to me and then make a decisicion.
I know who I want out of all of the current candidates at this time but will leave it at that.
Hope everyone has a great day! I am off to pay my super inflated utility bills!!
Nowmercy--
Thanks for breakfast...
I have really miised you...
Morning LynnD... Welcome back... I see your computer got fixed!!!!!
LYNND: Glad you are back! I agree that mandated insurance seems weird. I do think a compulsory system Could be good only if truly affordable. I am on the edge of feeling hopeless that big business will ever NOT be in control though and that includes insurance companies.
IBB: My heart warmed reading you missed me. I also missed you..specially last night in the Oscar party. Did you like or dislike any of the results?
ORGASM: The way biology tricks us into getting along at least 30-40 minutes, once in a while. A great way to get rid of period cramps..really! Okay..that's enough trouble makin for me.
CAROL: How are you doing? You were up late late late last night?
Too funny...the sisters battling it out for first! Congrats on first, second, third, fourth and fifth, MEK and IBB. Nice to see you both flying back to the nest....at the same time! Hope you are feeling muchly improved, IBB! And sounds like quite the Tigerlicious week you had, MEK...hope you have a chance to recuperate now!
Good morning, Nowmercy. What a blast to watch the Oscars with you and the other Owls last night!
Good Monday morning, Lynn_D!
A really interesting topic today, night.owls.sb! And since I am from another country and very opinionated about the political situation in the US, I think I will refrain from commenting, but would it be rude to say,it is definitely time for a change in the US...as it is in Canada as well!
This is for Area 51 and Whabby ... I just read your response (sorry, long day away from the computer yesterday) to my post and my eyes got a little leaky. You are a dear friend, Whab, and your outrage at my Dad's remarks touched my heart. Thanks for your kind words (see? words DO make a difference!). I will always be your number 1 hag!
As for politics, I am very interested in what is going on down there (that sounded dirty) even though I can't vote there (umm, still dirty?). All I can say is anything has to be better than what you have been putting up with for the past 8 years! I hope that a spirit of tolerance, particularly for gay rights, wins the day!
Good Morning Feathered Friends
MEK!!! Steamrolling over your baby sister, huh? LOL Congrats on 1st!
Welcome home!
IBB - How are you feeling? I hope you are doing better.
LYNN D - Welcome back! Glad your computer has made a full recovery.
NOWMERCY - Thanks for breakfast! That was fun last night watching the Oscars with you!
I am still on the fence about who my candidate of choice is. I like bits and pieces of all of them and dislike pieces of them as well. I am afraid it is going to come down to voting for the lesser of two evils. I do know that there has to be change and major change at that, but don't know who is going to really make the right changes to better my life.
I wish it were more clear cut.
Have a good day my friends.
CAROL, thanks for the lovely quotes!!! They were orgasmic, I guess even a multiple there, since there were more then one!!!
Hey ViG and CG...My daughter has just completed a three week unit on Canada in her 6th grade social studies class. She concludes that Canada's system of governing is better than the US. So interesting to learn more about your government's system.
MEK>>Sorry not to say this earlier- so very glad you are back in the nest, and that you had sooo much fun. Do you think the dogs were dishing up a bit of payback for your absence?
Please put up with one more comment. For me, what is upside down and confusing about the political scene is not the people running or the system. For me, there won't be change that will last until Americans begin thinking for themselves. That looks like critical thinking when listening to or reading news, and recognizing that corporations own the news media. That looks like letting go of the addiction to consumerism. That looks like admitting that television quite literally puts the mind into the beta level of hypnosis..so those images we see when we watch.. those big boobs, tight buns, perfectly dressed, nice houses, smart white people, criminal black people, illiterate or emotional latin people,evil middle east men, victim women, rescuing men, etc... are all being subtly programed into the mind.
Until we change the way we treat ourselves and each other, what are we pushing up toward our so called leaders? Until we let our money be a vote for what we believe in, it will be status quo. No amount of media, material items, prescription meds, sex, drugs or rock and roll will make the poor, disenfranchised, uninsured, opportunized, sick, crumbling infrastructures go away.
Anyway...I vote every single day with my choices for where I shop and that started with very small steps. That way I make a difference.
Wooa..I really went on and on.
CG-I have been catching up on the past week... and I can totally relate to your dad story... My father said some of the most hateful things to me... the cut me to the core... still do.. and he has been gone for 16 years... I never got to tell him how hurtful his words were...
That story would have been appropiate yesterday...
But know that you are special to me... and would be sad not to get to meet you in here!!!
Good morning, Maureen and anyone else that has recently flown in!
nowmercy...that is interesting that your daughter has come to that conclusion! Canada's system definitely has some good things about it(some socialized programs...eg. health care) but as in every country there are gaps and needs for reform!
Happy Monday everyone!
Morning Mo-
I am feeling better but not 100% yet...
but hey baby steps... thanks so much for asking...
Well Carol I appreciate your topic of the day, because it came from you.
I love all the different topics that are brought up at the nest and I love how it all makes me think.
In fact I am going to ponder about what important issues I would like to see addressed in our nation.
Hmmmm, I think education might be in the top five. :)
I am trying to catch up..
THANK YOU ALL!!!
For your wonderful get well wishes... I have missed the nest greatly...
Hilary Clinton gave a speach here last week. Obama flew in to meet the public several days ago. Two nights ago Bill Clinton showed up to praise his wife Hilary's capaign help.
Our country needs a lot of change including a new health care system, secure borders as promised and I am for the no child left behind in school. There are more issues that I hope to see. I also would like to see our troops home very soon.
MAUREEN AND ITEACH..GOOD MORNING!!
VIG: Yes it was interesting...
DREAMA: Do you feel a bit under a political siege in Texas?
Congrats Mek #1
Ibebold hope you are feeling better today.
Nowmercy thank you for the breakfast!
Maureen, LynnD, VIG, CG to all good morning.
Tinkatia hope your day is a better one today.
What is so wild is that we are one of the few states that can vote twice. We have early voting that starts today or we can wait, or we can vote today and then at the end which is March 4.
Maureen..I hope your week improves!!
Tink, DonnaJean, Amicus...prayers to you!
I see more owls have flown in this morning.
I read where I left off yesterday and I was LMAO at the Oscar chatter!
My take on last nite was I was sad that most of the movies nominated were so violence based. Hollywood formula movies.
I did not recognize half the people getting awards.
Why the heck was Miley Cyrus presenting?
Was Enchanted the only movie that had a music score???
Ummm Tilda was interesting but I loved her speech! Tho I did wonder why she was wearing a black sheet.
What does Jessica Alba do??? I noticed that they all just kept saying how pretty she always looks. Nothing about her acting!!! LOL
Loved the flashbacks to past Oscars and I have to say that what struck me was not only the talent that is gone but the fact that they looked like real people and not Hollywood dolls just off of the assembly line.
Did Cameron Diaz have a quickie in the limo??? She could have brushed her hair before she hit the red carpet.
All in all it was one of the most boring Oscars I think I have ever watched. JMHO
I loved Diablo Cody and hope she does not fall into the Hollywood trap! Same with Ellen Page!!
Good Morning Mo, Dreama,Vig,CG and Iteach!!!
LYNND: I could ditto your Oscar comments.. thanks. Also I did not understand the lack of surprise or enthusiasm by the Cohen brothers, they must be interesting... I didn't see any of the movies but will rent Rose and Michael Clayton.
Peace all..
Good Morning
I must say I had a blast last nite watching the Oscars with all of you. Such Fun! Thanks...
lynnd
I think it is good to get all opinions. I am very curious in what others have to say!
It is the way of the world!
mek
Congrats on First, You are back, Missed you!
We always talked politics in my house, and around our friends, it is a subject that can differ, However I always felt it was good to discuss..
Heck, I discuss everything..Chatty thats me!
ibb
Glad you are feeling better!
all
Have a great day!
:O)
Good morning everyone!
Mek, glad you enjoyed your week with Tiger. BTW, my dad said the same thing about politics and parties, but he also included religion as one of the topics. Congrats on being first.
Ibb, glad you're feeling better.
Nowmercy, thank you for the lovely breakfast, I had fun at the Oscars with ya.
lynn d, so glad Mr. lynn d got your puter all fixed up.
Vig, mornin' Sunshine! Did you put Oscar on your mantle?
Cg, good morning, nice to see you.
Mo, thanks again for teaching me how to spell something that I haven't ever written about before. I guess orgasm will be on my next spelling test, and I'm sure I'll make an A+, cuz I know how to spell lotz of 'bad' words.
iteach, good morning to you
dreamatexas, yeah they were here doing their little happy dance. I so agree with you about needing better boarder control.
Carol, really enjoyed last night and hope the sofa came clean.
Tink, Donnajean, Amicus, Thinking of you!
Ronnie
Just one thing, among many, that I so dislike during election time, is the incipient way the newscasters feel the need to put their personal spin, and opinions, on what I just heard a candidate say in their speech. I have a brain, I heard what was just said, and they don't need to tell me....I got it!
Hope Shirley is doing well at the doc's office this morning. Check in later, girl.
Ronnie
Hey RONNIE: So glad to hear from you this morning. I so agree about the newscasters. I too had a blast last night...fun stuff the nest.
CAROL: We discussed politics too..Mom was demo and Dad repub..so you can imagine. When daddy Bush bailed out jr for S&L mismanagements my Dad switched parties. I love really LISTENING to others points of view so I'll be reading today and hope to come away with new information and things to think about.
I tried to keep up with you Owls last night but you guys were way too fast and had downed way too much Red Bull for me to keep up.I never seen such quick little typing fingers!
DRAMA: Darn it...we were quick huh? Sorry you felt out typed...
nowmercy~~
What really ticks me is when a president, wether it's 'W' or anyone else, gives and hour long State Of The Union Address, the newscasters do an hour long dissertation with their critique.
That's when my television gets turned off.
Ronnie
Good morning!
Definitely fun last night during the Oscars. I didn't watch them but feel like I did with all the great commentary!
Politics, ugh. Not my fave subject. Will give it some thought before I decide whether to comment or not.
As I get older, just more and more turned off by it all.
Anyway, hope you all have a great day! The sun is out here, yay! So far, no rain.
Good morning!
Sharing the oscars with you guys last night was fun. I as more interested in what was being said here than the Oscars themselves.
Carol what a hot topic. Should make for good conversation.
Mek congrats on 1st.
IBB welcome back and feel better soon.
Nowmercy thanks for breakfast.
Lynn D good morning to you.
Canadiangirl and Vig I am from Canada too so my say on US politics will have a different slant than my US friends. It's interesting being on the outside looking in, don't you think.
Maureen what can I say...BITCH!!LOL!!
Iteach and Dreamatexas good morning to you gals too.
Ronniegirl I made it back from the doctor with more medication, information on a new Nova Scotia Pharmacare Program for low income starting soon (I would only have to pay 80% of my prescriptions)and thought about how to loose weight...which I won't get into on the blog(it's too personal for me and embarrassing). So that was my morning.
Oh, my unemployment insurance just ran out too...about 5 weeks before I thought it would. Not a great start to the week.BBL.
Shirley -- Thanks..
Hi East Bay J!
SHIRLEY: oh crap, you must be so disappointed. That really sucks. I am sending you caring warm thoughts and hopes for a better afternoon!!!
Okay,, gotta get going...I really hope I did not offend with my long winded post earlier. If my choices of words did offend I am certainly willing to hear about that.
Wishing all a great Monday..it is chilly ad snowy dreary here today.but as we say in Montana "oh well, we need the moisture". lol
hugs..
Thanks Nowmercy I hope so too. The day can't get any worse.
ebj~~Good morning! I agree with you about the getting older and being somewhat turned-off with politics. Sometimes, it seems like a bunch of kids in the school yard fuss fighting. At my age, and having been through many elections with broken promises made, I feel like I am, once again, trying to be made a victim. Anything it seems, can and will be said, just to get my vote. I guess we really just have to look at the history of these people, and not their speeches.
I'm off my soap-box now! lol
Ronnie
IBB: Thanks for the welcome back! I am so happy to see you posting too!
NowMercy: Thank you! Yes I keep asking why we would treat health insurance like car insurance?? To me Health care should be a right not a privilage. Where as owning a car is a privilage. Plus in our state we have mandatory car insurance and I can't tell you how many court appearences I read in the paper every week where people are being fined for no insurance. So obviously this does not work either!!! If people are poor or on a limited income what should they pay first??? Housing, food, Insurance??? I happen to think that Housing and food are not luxury items.
Vig: I would love to hear yours and fellow Canadians take on our political system!
Mo: I love ya!! I can type and annoy all of you again! LOL
Carol: I think getting different opinions is great too! I was not criticizing you! I hope you don't think I was. This year in our neck of the woods the election is a hot debate and a couple of my friends and I have decided not to discuss because is so heated!! Tho I have to say this is the first year in my marriage where Mr. Lynn D and I agree on the same candidate!!! A miracle! LOL
ronniegirl: I am happty to be back. I too get tired of the this is what they said. Now Let me tell you what you should have heard mentality of the media!!! Duh I have a brain. It also seems to me in the last 8 years that there seems to be no unbiased opinion coming out of the media anymore!
Hi Shirley!!! I am waving a wing at you and sending big feathery (((Hugs))) your way!
Hi EBJ! Also anyone one else I missed typing this!! Waving vigorously!
I'm going to the store for Red Bull. :0)
Shirley~~
Glad you're home. The new Pharmacare Program sounds great, and I'm sorry about your unemployment insurance running out. That's a bummer!
Enjoyed the Oscars with you last night....you're such a riot.
Everyone, have a good Monday, and I'll be back later.
Ronnie
Ronniegirl...yes, my Oscar has been replaced...just making room for my Tony, Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe, etc!!!
Shirley...I didn't know you were a fellow Canadian..I don't know why I thought were from North Carolina...I guess the NS got changed in my head to NC. Sounds like you have had quite the morning...so sorry to hear that..stay here..the Owlettes will cheer you up!
Lynn_D...LOVED your insightful post Oscar commentary. I agree...I couldn't get excited about the big awards going to the most violent movies....when there were really sweet hopeful movies like Juno in the running! And yay for Diablo Cody..I too hope she doesn't get sucked up into the Holywood vortex...what a story...from exotic dancer to Oscar winner! Wow...gotta love that!
Okay, I gotta work now! See you all a bit later!
BTW...You can call me Connie, or you can call me Donnie, but you don't have to call me Ronniegirl. (that's just too much typing) lol
If you like, just drop my "last" name and call me Ronnie....
Just a thought
Ronnie
Bye for now, again.
vig~~lol
Good Monday Morning Owls! It seems so funnyto have the kids back in school again, after a week off for mid-winter break. Did we ever have all of these breaks? I do not think so!
I grew up in a very politically involved family. We lived less than 2 hours from DC and were very active in campaigning. My best friend's father was a politician in MD, so we would help on his campaign and then end up campaigning for all the candidates in our party. It was a lot of fun, taught me a lot... and got me invited to a lot of interesting parties in some pretty prestegious places.
It also let me see some stuff that I think back on now and have a hard time with. SO MANY of those men would show up at the events and celebrations with girl friends, while we all knew and worked closely with their wives. We were just children, so we were afraid to say anything. But it scarred me. So when Bill had his fling with Monica and I saw all the finger pointing going on, it made me sick. Some of the people who were pointing their fingers were at those same parties when I was younger. And they were far from innocent!
All I know is that we are in very exciting times. And hopefully we will soon see our first female or minority president!
Well Lynn D (thanks for the wave by the way) since you asked for Canadian opinions I will give you mine. I hope no one kicks me out of the nest!lol!
Up front I want to say that I understand how very important this election is to the US people. Having said that, I don't understand why I have been hearing about this election for the past year, non-stop, and you don't even vote until November. WTH?
There have been numerous debates (which I admit I haven't watched only heard about after)on the same topics. Now debating is good, but wouldn't one big debate with everyone be better than all these other debates? The more the candidites bitch at each other the less credibility they have...IMHO.
Instead of saying "He said" "She said" tell the US people what you are going to do when you become president. Don't beat aroundthe bush.
Someone mentioned the analysing the media does. Yeah they need to give that a rest. If you watched a candidate speak you do not need someone explaining to you afterwards what they said. If you are intellegent enough to watch in the first place then I think you can understand what they said.
These are just my opinion, not those of my country. So don't yell at me too loud. I will be over trying to clean the chocolate sauce off the sofa cushion. Peace to everyone.
Vig you may have got mixed up cause my name here on the blog is Shirley (NCC-1701) which is the identification letters for the Enterprise from Star Trek. But I live here in good old Nova Scotia.
SHIRLEY,
You make many valid points. And I would never vote to kisk you out of the nest!!!
I agree with the length of the campaigning and the plethora of debates. Maybe take some of that money spent on spewing rhetoric and lies and name calling and finger pointing...donate it to causes that can really help the constituents that need help.
I understand in Canada, the election process is far more streamlined and quick...is that correct?
I can barely afford my insurance anymore. I am thinking of dropping it...food and mortgage are seeming to be the option I need more. The insurance business is just that...a business. It is not to protect me. I had a lapse a while ago and when I got my new insurance, I found out nothing was covered that I had to see the doc for, because it was a "pre-existing condition". What kind of bullshit is that? I am paying premiums AND then have to pay for my medical coverage TOO. WTF? The price of COBRA is outrageous and I still pay my doc...so I may just drop it and hope for the best. I don't know.
And I also heard from a dear friend that the veterans and their families have even worse insurance then civilians do. Another WTF? They are fighting in a senseless war, leaving their families behind for multiple tours and they get treated worse then the rest of the population. That is just wrong.
Now I am pissed off again.
Off to do errands.
Congrats on 1st MEK! Now lets see if you can be all the other march numbers today!
I have not gone through all of the posts from the last couple days, but I did see something about amicus. Did she lose a pet this weekend?
Thanks for checking on me Carol and Jodi.
hi gang.
Good Morning Owls!!!
Looks like everyone had a blast in the nest last night WoooHooo!!!
I didn't watch the whole show, but I sure did pop with excitement when I saw Harrison Ford.
Oh my stars, cream my jeans, that man drives me wild!!
I wasn't going to comment on today's blog because I am Canadian, but, I decided I'd take the leap.
Usually I can be found in debates at HuffPo when I want a lil political relief..haha.but since this is a safe zone I thought I'd leave my 2 cents.
I want my government in charge of the BIG THINGS~~
IE:Health insurance.
Some ppl think we are over taxed and pay up the butt for things that aren't necessary, well in MHO HEALTH INSURANCE is necessary and should be available to ALL THE PPL OF THE COUNTRY, not just the rich and famous.
Yes,we pay taxes,and for those taxes I can at any time walk into a hospital,doctors office,I can receive MRI'S CT's and anything that is ordered by the doctors~ WITHOUT FEAR~that I could end up homeless because I couldn't pay the bill for that medical attention.
That peace of mind is worth millions to me.
I am very interested in the American white house, because it seems when there is a republican party in power, we end up with a Tory in our house, and usually Canada goes down hill for the term.
I'm pleased that our Country has more than 2 parties.It gives a voice to all Canadians.
I have always thought it strange that the U.S has only 2 parties.
There must be Americans out there that have bits and pieces of REP and DEM political beliefs to make up a third party?
Ok, I'll :oX now.
Love n hugs xox
SIXTY..heehee
MEK!!! IB!! Welcome back to the nest, it's great seein ya's again.
Hope you're feeling better IB:o)WTG on 1st Mek :oP
NowMercy ty for breaky.
WTG on "This Owl Said", they were a HOOT!.
MO our elections seem a lot more streamlined then the US.
The hype here begins a few months prior to the offical voting.
There isn't 2 years of ongoing party BS and campaigns before the official vote for PM.
CG hehehe it did sound dirty, talk dirty to me hehe.
BARBinWA welcome back!!
Shout outs to everyone :o)
LOVEY - 5 minutes!!! LOL!!
CAROL - Great blog - I'll have to ponder on this a bit and get back to you.
MEK - Welcome back and congrats on first!!!
IBB - Sucks getting elbowed out of first by your big sis. ;)
ZONA - I think I just replenished some brain cells!! ;)
For those of you not sure who you want to vote for in the general election.........
Check out this website www.eenvandaag.nl/stemwijzerusa/en/
A quiz will ask you a series of questions regarding current political issues. Then, based on your answers, ranks the candidates that most match your political views.
MEK and IBB So good to see you both back in the nest.
Okay, I need to continue reading the posts.
Ohhhhh Jodi "afternoon delight" was it good for you, it sure was for me!!
hehehe, I need a smoke now.
Mek & IBB Congrats on 1st and 2nd.
I am feeling better, but still have some congestion. Unfortunately MrMary and Son are battling bad coughs and colds! I don't have to tell you having 2 males sick at one time can be trying!
Thank you to all who sent get well greetings to me on My Space. I got tired of my winter scene and changed it to a Beach Boy water land.
On todays topic~ I have no illusions of a candidate "saving"us from the so called dreaded republicans. As far as the over used word "change", come on folks we need more than words here! As we have read on this blog in the last few days "words" are powerful tools and can be used to mold minds in many good and bad ways. If we must use the word "change", use it in your own homes and communities to change the way we look at gays, indigents, minorities, illegal aliens, overweight people, Christians, Jews, Catholics, Republicans, Democrats,handicappers, etc. When you vote, vote for a well rounded man or woman, not some one who only speaks for your own agendas. OK, you can add me to the kicked out nesters list lol!!
LOVEY - It was great for me!!! Pass the cigs!!!
Jodi--

Lovey-

Mary/mi..
I just went to your my space page... I want summer so badly now...
and I see you have Dwight Yoakam as one of your top friends... He is my skinny man fantasy...
IBB~ I love 'em both, but they sure can be "needy". LOL!! I really don't mind. It's job security LOL!!!
IBB~ I love to watch Dwight do his "tight pants" dance! Should be used for foreplay LOL!!
Lovey~ I love your Irish myspace pg. I have your music playing in my background. Chain, Chain, Chains....lalala
Thanks Maureen.
Barbara yes Amicus lost Fantine(her cat) last week. It's been hard for her.

Hi Shirley!!!
Hi IBB, MARY/MI, SHIRLEY!!! Off to take a power nap - I'm pooped. I left some snacks on the counter:
Salami & cream cheese rolls
Taco dip
Fruit pizza
assorted teas, coffee, Diet Pepsi, water
ENJOY!!! I'll be back later.
Want2..
I didn't see you sneak in... are you feeling better... we were on the same sick train together...
hope you feel better...
Hi everyone! Hope Monday is treating you well.
I was always told that two things were not up for discussion at my parent's parties..politics and religion. I guess they thought that these were two subjects that brought out such strong opinions in people--and that didn't mix with booze. (yikes..booze sounds like such an old fashioned word--even to me.)
I just want everyone to get along and no one to want for food, healthcare or shelter. I want all children taken care of and loved. No one should be afraid to walk down their streets at night. A person's sexual orientation should not be an issue. I wish there were no wars and that everyone could live and let live in peace. I've been called a 'dreamhead' because of my Utopian vision of society. Well, I guess I'll accept that, because that's the way I wish things could be.
MEK: WELCOME BACK!!! And in fine form I see--congrats on #1!!!
IBB: Good to see you back too. Glad you are feeling a little better. Isn't that website for BB9 the best??
NOWMERCY: Your laughing owl just cracks me up!
LYNND: Our electric bills are in the $300 range in the summer. I know how you feel when you pay yours.
VIG: Thank you for the McD update last night. I think the message crashed my computer for the evening!
CGIRL: I think it's the politician's themselves that make politics a dirty word. But your innuendo was great! ;)
Again, going to break this into two posts..I sure am getting long winded lately.
aloha kakahiaka blog buds...
whew this not having internet access on the weekends is kinda like going thru detox...lol.
politics. I had this debate with a friend last night. I will vote for who I think can make the best choices for our country. No one candidate scores 100 on my concerns, but I will vote for whom I think can lead this country to a better place.
MEK: gratz on 1st.
jodi: saw your text last night...lol. thanks for the text out!
Can I just shout from the rooftops....
I LOVE THIS PLACE....
You all made me feel so welcomed back.. and all the love and get well wishes on my space...
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jodi~ I think I will "rest my eyes" too. My Grand Daughter used to say that when she would visit. She hated taking naps and would fall asleep on our couch. Her eyes would get heavy and she would say " I'm not sleeping! Just resting my eyes" LOL!!
I just did the laundry,made a large pot of chili, grilled cheese sandwiches & hot toddies. I need to rest my eyes!
I miss Tina!!
IBB - where are my manners? Welcome back and sorry you weren't feeling well. Thanks, too, for the comments on myspace.
You, too MEK! Glad you had a good time with that golfing thing (SO not a sports person).
Lovey~ I am having trouble with your myspace. can't get the "email me" or even the "home" icons to work. I wanted to ask you a question.
Shirley~ I need to tell you, I am still in shock over yesterdays blog. I cannot in a million years imagine hearing such things from your own mother! It has really upset me that you had to go thru that.
If she ever said that to me, I would probably give her "the eye", look at her with "my look" and then tell her, "No mother... I am NOT stupid. I am forgiving and you are very lucky that I am!"
{{{HUGS}}}
MAUREEN: I agree with you 100%. Way too much money is spent on these campaigns.
SHIRLEY: Thanks again for yesterday's blog. Sorry to hear about the insurance situation.
LOVEY: Just seeing your red boa makes me smile!
MARY/MI: Glad you feel better! Why is it that men suffer soooo much when they are sick??
KGIRL: My computer crashed last night and I was lost! I can't imagine all weekend.
DREAMA: RED BULL should have helped you keep up last night! I bounce off the walls when I drink it...which is why Mr. Z brings it home. He calls me Tigger. ;)
JODI: I'm all for saving brain cells! And before you say anything, dreamhead is not an adverb! ;)
HUGS and prayers to AMICUS and TINKA!
WAVING HI to: ITEACH, CPGEM8, RGIRL, EBJ, GLYNIS, WANT2, BARB/WA, and Custard's dream JUST_LIN!!
TINA: Missing you.
DIANNE: The sex couple????
CG-
Hope you are feeling better...
MARY/MI & JODI: My dad said the same thing "I'm just resting my eyes.." and then he started to snore!
IBB: The race is starting!!
Zona and Mary My husband used to say he was checking the inside of his eyelids for leaks. LOL

Thanks for marching, Zona. See ya later.
MARY~~ I'm sorry hon, I was messin with my page, maybe that is why.. Thanks for your kind words.I'm glad you're enjoyin the music~~Hehe, chain chain chain.. chain of fools..sing it baby..
ZONA!! I love seein you, u always make me smile :o)
Mary I sent u mail in myspace.
Damn Customers... Made me miss the march!!!!
Congrats just_lin..!!!!
WOOOOHOOOO 100!!!!!!!
Well I need to go close out the registers and then the store... then off to Target....must return before my reciept expires!!!
See ya all later!!!
Ok, I'm back for a short bit. I went to get my Red Bull (Zonababy has it running through her veins):0)...just kidding Zona.
I went to the post office too. I'm standing in the long line waiting my turn. This elderly Hispanic lady at the front of the line mails her package and then turns to everyone and yells out go vote for Hilary. An elderly black lady across the room says oh no, I'm voting for Obama. The Hispanic lady yells back that he's too young. The elderly black lady says there's plenty of old people out there that aren't as smart as young people. Yadda, yadda, back and forth. Finally this huge black guy in front of me says ladies please, I just want to mail my package and get back to my job. The lady behind me starts yacking about politics to the big dude in front of me. I had to stick my fingers in my ears and sing the la la song. I think that freaked them all out. The line finally moved and I finally got to mail my package and get out of there. I think I am going to avoid public places until after March 4th when our voting is over. It's dangerous here in Texas right now.
Dreama:
You could look at it this way. At least folks are not complacent right now, and by their voices it is apparent they all want some changes to be made. I think at times talking politics in public can be for lack of a better word, dangerous. BUT, at least this time around people are talking, voting, and doing something about it. I am sorry that you felt ill at ease there, but I think it is great that so much is being said and done this time around.
Jus my two cents worth.......
lOVEY~ U got mail
We are suppose to get another big snow storm tonight!!
iteach~ We are getting rain which is supposed to turn to snow later. I live right on the line than can go either way on the snow band. I am so sick of this damp cold weather!
Checkin in :o)
Hiya again OWLS!!
ZONA~That would be the perfect world.There's nothing wrong with dreams with dreams comes HOPE and without hope IMHO there is nothing.
CONGRATS JUSTLIN!! wtg on the march.
Turtle~well said!!
Iteach we have a snow storm heading our way too.
I love snow, but I've had enough this year.
Mary,let me know how it goes :o)
Well crap I had a post typed and I got Server error!
I read all the posts with interest! I don't think Carol will kick any of us out of the nest! LOL
Turtle: I agree with you! I think it is fantastic that so many people are paying attention this election year! The turn outs have been very interesting to watch at each state caucus! People seem to be doing their homework too! I love that.
Dreama: Texas must be crazy right now!! LOL I say take your hose everywhere you go! LMAO
I ROCK!
I won my local papers Oscar Derby!
LMAO!!!
There was a 14 way tie with that many people missing one of the big categories. I missed Lead Actress. Then they went to the tie breaker of which movie would win Best Picture. That only dropped it to an 11 way tie. So they went to the next tie breaker of how many awards would the Best Picture win. That dropped it down to a 4 way tie. So then they went by who sent in their ballot the earliest. I filled mine out online in January. The other people didn't send theirs in until February!
**again** I ROCK! LOL!
Hi Owls!
Just skimmed the comments!!
lynnd
Oh gosh no, I did not think that at all..And No kicking out from me. I am thrilled we are all here!
My cousin David is in from CA (the actor) I am meeting him and other cousins for dinner tonite..
I will check back later!
mo
Glad somebody was orgamsic today!
mo
Forgot!!
Our Health Insurance issue pisses me off too!
Another Plea...
Need some daily blogs, Please....
Barbara that is very exciting!
lynnd
I don't think I have your e-mail addy. I wanted to e-mail you today and I could not find it!
My e-mail
cpgem88@gmail.com
Good Evening -
My day of rest was not to be today.
Here's some really exciting news:
The Easter candy is out now!! YEAH, I just LOVE those Russell Stover's Vanilla Cream eggs - I remember that Barb in WA likes the milky way ones..
WHY do they only make those at Easter??
Carol~~
Remembering what your jammies looked like last night, it's no wonder you can't spell ORGASM either. lol Guess it's not just me!
I sure Mo will be showing up again soon with another spelling lesson.
Good evening everyone.
Ronnie
Barbara in WA That is exciting. That's a great way to start the week.
Hey MEK!
I do love me some Milky Way eggs! Pamela was so fantastic last year when she sent me an entire box! LOL!
Waving hi to Mek, Lovey, iteach, barb, k-gir, lynnd, and Mary.
BTW Lovey, love your plume and boa. Did you go to Eltons Auction too? Sooo fetching!
Ronnie
OK guys.....
sucky thing about winning the Oscar Derby. I have to have my pic taken tomorrow morning. They want a color one. I have been sending them black and whites and ♥lovey♥ bless her heart, tried to fix my antiqued one to black and white, and they won't take it. They want color. Damn. I change those from color for a reason! LOL! Ugh. So now I have to go down there at 8am and have my pic taken. I hate not having control over what they use. Maybe the photographer will be a trooper and let me take a looksie. I hope it's not something cheesy where they make me hold a large bucket of popcorn and a sodie!
**waving back at ronnie, that is if i'm the barb she's waving too!**
Yes, it's you i'm waving to, and congrats on your Derby win. What is the prize going to be?
About the picture, just walk in there, smile real big and say "Show me the money!!".
Ronnie
Waves a fin back at RG!
K-girl~~
Thanks for the wave. Waving back at you.
Good night everyone.
Ronnie
Barb in WA - you better get used to having your picture taken!!! LOL Congrats on your WIN!!! and yes, I remember Pam sent you that whole box - I was afraid to ask for your address back then - oh what a difference a year makes!! LOL...
Waving hi to EVERYONE!!! my brain is STILL not functioning properly.
Whabby - did you have to wear a tux to your party last night..
OH - and most important - WHO won the best dressed in the Nest last night???!!!
I had to chuckle at the "what are you wearing?" - it started to sound like a 1-900 number!!!
;-)
Is Ronnie going to bed? Good nite.
I have a week's worth of newspapers, mail and comments to read..........
MEK LOL @ 1-900 number!!
Ronnie Good night. Sleep well.
going home for the evening.
1-900 # now that's funny!
See you owls tomorrow.
Do you know what is on the top of my mind right now?
Bras
I can never find one I like.
Is there a owl in the nest who is so in love with their bra that they would like to share the name of it for me.
I would so deeply appreciate it!
Seriously, I am no trying to make a pass on anyone.
I just hate my bras!
Iteach - I'm a bit of a lingerie whore (careful people ....) and the best suggestion I can make is to go to a specialty store (something OTHER than Victoria's Secret) and get a proper fitting. You'd be surprised how many of us wear the wrong size and style for our bodies. If you are a larger woman, I know that Lane Bryant does it (they did it for my daughter and it was an amazing change), otherwise save your pennies and go to someplace like Nordstroms or one of the higher end stores. Once you know the proper size and style, you can shop around for a cheaper one. Good luck!
Where's Whabby?
cg ~~whabby's on a biz trip in Denver.
iTeach~~one word on bras...WACOAL!!
I sent you the link to their site by email, and a logo photo.
iteach~ I have trouble buying bras too. Usually once a year I spend the whole day just trying different ones on. It's amazing how many bras claim to be one size, but fit differently! Mu favorite is Vanity Fair. I am well endowed and need all the "lifting" I can get! LOL!!
as long as I'm here, HI OWLS !!
I've been a 'lurker' today. Must have gone a little crazy at the after Oscar party last night....feelin' a bit yucky.
BonO~ I was just looking though my bra labels, a couple were Wacoal. I couldn't remember where I bought them. Thought they may be off brands so I didn't mention them. They are comfortable!
i am whispering in case some owls don't want to know this..and i totally understand and support the reasons why...but the intern is on leno tonight...doing an oscar after party show
I knew I could find some owls that were not bashful! :)
Thanks ladies!
VIG-You are too funny! You made me smile and laugh. I liked that whispering part.
Oh my I had a great dinner, it was so good I am going to share what I had.
The place I went to is a local bar/restaurant that has been in my
neighborhood for what seems a lifetime...
Tossed Salad w/fresh Escarole
Clams Oregano
Shrimp Peeps (Fra Diablo)
Cavatelli and Pot Cheese
Chicken Savoy
It does not get any better than that!
Delish
Burp, Excuse me!
VIG (whispering) Thank you for the heads up on the intern thing.
iteach...thanks...still whispering. just didn't want to say it too loud...so the owls that did not want to hear the name of the one who remains unmentioned, wouldn't have to hear it! okay,you've got me thinking about my bra now too! I just googled wacoal bras...and did you know you could buy them on-line from amazon?!!! I thought amazon only sold books!!!!
Iteach - I wear Victoria Secret bras - I know they are expensive - I have two different ones - but I will have to go check the labels to tell you their "exact" names.
VIG - LOL at whispering.
Now- here's a first - I just got finished typing out the LONGEST damn blog for myspace page about my last three days at the golf course and got FOADED!!! now, that sucks to get internet interuption on your OWN postings... SO - I lost the whole thing and just don't have the brain power to try to do it again tonight!!!!
AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH...
I hope everyone had an excellent day!!! :-)
vig
So funny you are whispering!
iteach
I wear Body by Victoria from Victoria Secret, Underwire. I have been wearing this type bra ever since my breast reduction (which is years now) and love them, they come in all colors as well!
Very comfy, and decent support...
Hi mek
:O)
Carol that sounds absolutely devine!
You would freak out what my small town offers for food.
It is a sad story.
Hey, favorite meals or resturants (spelling) could be an idea for a posting for someone.
I'm tired and lazy to backspace and fix that word above.
In fact it is time to rest my eyes.
Have a good night everyone.
I enjoyed reading everyones comments.
I love learning new information daily and I love learning other peoples views, it makes me a better person.
I always say if I learn something new each day, then it was a good day!
Thanks everyone for sharing...
Hi Cpgem8 - glad you enjoyed your dinner - do I need to provide the pepcid again??!!
Hey everyone - Medium is new tonight - I'm sure it's already been on the east coast - sorry..
Good Nite, Iteach..
ronnie
I guess mo has to teach me how to spell better as well :O)
nowmercy
I had the best time last nite, and I am fine today, I had a good nites sleep...
I don't think Victoria Secret has "humongous" sizes!
MEK!~ I have to break the news to MrMary that he has to wait for your blog! Bummer! Try again tomorrow.
UM..That humongous size comment was for me LOL!!
I found out tonite that my cousin David will be on the last season
of "The Shield" (he was on last season as well) He thinks it will be starting in June (after dirt). He taped all the episodes over the summer and they are all done!
My cousin plays "Shawn Ryan"
It was fun seeing him, I will be with him tomorrow nite as well, as we are going to a Autism Fundraiser Event (his son as Autism).
We are going to the Arena which is right next to Giants Stadium.
Gosh - my internet just shut me down - so glad to see that the post it hung up on, actually DID post..
Mary - so sorry to disappoint Mr. Mary!!
burp! (garlic) pee u....
Yes mek pass the pepcid!
Thanks
Mary - I had scrolled back to see if Iteach had asked for "humungous"
cpgem - that is fun about your cousin..
OH - the one thing I keep forgetting to tell you guys - one of the shuttle drivers is the cousin of David Hernandez on Idol this year..... on the last day, he closed the shuttle doors on me as a joke just as I approached to get on - when he opened them - I told him - he better be nice to me or I wouldn't vote for David!!!
:-)
mary
humongous size...lol
cpgem - it's been passed - hope it helps - I could smell that ALL the way over here!!!
I am sorry that I missed the Oscar party last night - I tried to watch the show, but since I really hadn't seen any of the movies or heard of half the names that were nominated - I chose to go to bed. AND, I didn't find the host to be very funny at all.... guess the ratings were very bad.....
want2sleep
Glad you poked your head in, hope that means you are feeling better!
:O)
LOL - I spelled the "huge" word wrong - oh well.......
Does anyone know how tina is feeling? Last I heard she was not feeling well...
mek
I always spell the word huge wrong, I sometimes write "hugh" don't know why
tho, just do...
mek
Sorry for the smell ;o(
I did not enjoy Jon Stewart either!
iteach
I love the idea, go for it :O)
cpgem - at least you didn't FART on me!! LOL
OH - speaking of that - why do people standing in a crowd right in front of you think that it's okay to let one rip and then smile about it..... I would be SO embarassed...... I can't tell you how many times that happened this week.......
Carol Read your mail lately?
MEK I have NEVER had that happen!
Just Lin - howdy!! let me get this straight - you have NEVER let one rip in public or you have never had it happen to YOU??!! LOL
barb
Congrats on the win! Did you actually win something?
bono
I hope the yuckiness goes away soon
:O)
mek
The reason I can control my farts is good ole "gas x" twice a day, if not
you would have to move to the next page really quick :O)
just_lin
I will go check now! I am excited, such a goof is me...
speaking of "goofs" birdee has not checked in the nest today...
cp - too funny!!!
MEK Neither. Certainly not while I was standing in line for something.
And where is SacBarb? Haven't seen her here in a while.
Carol, what are shrimp peeps? We LOVE shrimp, have never heard of peeps tho.
Hi MEK good to see you again. Hope you are recovering from your busy week.
We were stylin here in the nest last night, you shoulda been here.
It was sunny and warm here today, quite the contrast from the stormy weekend.
TN VIG you are too funny!
Mary you made me laugh with "humongouse".
Til tomorrow, sleep well everyone!
Sacbarb's son got married over the weekend, so she is still away -
Hey, EBJ -
Just Lin - these were people standing in my golf gallery waiting for Tiger to tee off -
Geesh! I toot every time I move! I better invest in some gas-x!
I have left Tina myspace messages and text messages. She hasn't answered any of them. So not like her! I have noticed she has been checking in on her myspace, so she is still alive! :+]
MEK Thanks for reminding me about SacBarb's son's wedding. I had totally spaced it out.
I get it about the gallery. Nobody wants to lose their place I guess, no matter what.
Good night EB
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
I just received three daily blogs...
I will get them ready, and let you know which day yours will be posted.
Whichever one comes in first I post first and so on.
So excited!!!
Hey - i bet i can guess WHO sent them in!!! LOL...
I'm sure Tina will show up in a few minutes!! LOL
EBJ - did you vote on best dressed in the nest last night.
