Haha! I had that happen, once, and to this day, there is a contract out on me because I narced, big time. Any place in Las Vegas is out. Period. It has to be Henderson, or I will choose my own...which seems to be more appealing as time passes. At least if I pick my own, I can make sure there are washer hook-ups. Laundry is killing me.

I’ll be heading in to Vegas in a few minutes. I need to stop and get some water, I think. Or maybe I’ll get it for the drive home, since I will be facing the sun all the way.

So far, I am impressed with the Dell. Not as difficult to navigate and not such a contrary system.

I found out that most older folks like mothers (mine in particular) would rather have gift certificates. especially to their favorite restaurants or stores.

As I understand the rules they do this under, it has to be the current country name, not a past one, such as Indo-China, for Vietnam.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

It will take me a while to get to them, as I just swapped out computers, and don’t have all my URLs installed.

I’m looking forward to seeing them, though, as I have been so entranced with the ones you’ve sent so far!

We have one in the building just to the west, but he is an old man and deals strictly in pot. Quite a few people who live here visit him on a regular basis. He’s pretty paranoid!

LOL!

I wondered when someone would say that! I mean I’ll write down that a person (ancestor) was born in the United States. I’ll leave putting down the USA to Obamanation!

I feel a rant coming on, well, more of a question really as well as an observation.

My observation being that (and this is just my opinion of what I’ve seen and heard) Whenever I find someone, be they a politician, actor/actress or just about anyone else, that I admire and think highly of, it seems I am in the minority in my opinion of that person. I speak of Former President George W. Bush. now, I may be somewhat naïve about a lot of things, but I really had and still have good vibes about him and think he was, while not the greatest president we ever had, but he wasn’t the worst one either. he did his best, no better or worst than anyone else who’ve occupied the White House. Yet he’s looked upon as being the vilest and most evil thing since Satan! I don’t get it? I mean, here is an American citizen who did his duty fro eight years, for better or worst, for his country and when faced with bullies, thugs and terrorists and the like, he didn’t back down, yet I get folks still saying he did nothing after 9/11/2001.

I don’t get it. I think he was fantastic, I had this naïve notion that he was more popular than I find he really is. Reality really sucks!

I get the notion also that this little rant is going to be so flamed, LOL! well, I needed to vent my frustration about this and this tagline I have now will stay up longer than the others did. I may be an anglophile, and Part Canadian but I know what I think and it’s never stupid.

A lot of people go with what’s popular and don’t think beyond the moment. I’m not a fan of Bush’s “compassionate conservatism” or his profligate spending. But I don’t understand ANY attacks on his invasion of Afghanistan or Iraq. If anyone remembers, when his father stopped at the Iraqi border during the Gulf War the Democrats screamed at him for not finishing the job. The Democrats were screeming for Saddam Hussein to be removed because he was such a monster. He had violated sanctions, UN restrictions, a no-fly zone, and several other nasty things.

But the minute people from the U.S. started getting hurt Bush was the bad guy. It’s as if we thought we could just waltz in and tell them to behave and waltz out again. We lost fewer people in the entire Iraq war than we did in some training missions during WWII. But we tired of it too quickly and we didn’t like wounded warriors coming home.

I agree with you 100% about Bush’s soul and motives. I think he was doing what he thought was best for the country and the world at the time. And I think if he read your rant he’d say, “That’s OK, Pippin. The people need a scape goat and I’m available. They’re not hurting anyone but themselves. Save your upset for things that really matter.”

But I’ve never met him. It’s just my opinion.
