Sorry for the late start to the weekend thread....I was to do this earlier......but had a senior moment. I just plum forgot to be honest.
So lets get this started.
Big week ahead the Socialist in Chief has scheduled another speech this time to sell another socialist program....health care....how many will fall for the snake oil sales pitch?
Over here....need to ping list please.
Hey there. You’re just in time for the game. I thought I had the connections all prepared but right now I’m not so sure. Kick off in a little more than half-an-hour.
We’re over here and just in time for the game.
If God forbid any major thing happens, then it's I have a bad feeling that people are going to say it was manufactured. There is just too much, “We need a crisis” to pass whatever government is trying to seize.
I saw that..
I tell you what... We live in some very scary times right now.
Want a good read...
The Yankees won.
Chase Utley is out for the Phils....he took a foul ball off his foot last night... and it is swollen.
I wonder if anyone of the Mets got hurt today.
HAHAHAHA
From here on out, the only thing the Yankees will do is kick a$$. Pity the fool who has to meet the Bronx Bombers in the World Series.

Thanks, Jim.
Thanks, Jem.
We are getting ready to get pounded by a t-storm...
Paradise is wonderful. Me and the cat are going to watch it from the lanai...

You’re welcome. It is half-time now. We’re winning 13 - 10. It has been scrappy. We gave up 60 yards in 4 personal foul penalties. I would like to know what’s up with that.
Watching the game didn’t work. So, I purchased the Auburn Access. At least I now have the AU announcers. (I wish I could watch the game.)
I love to watch t-storms.
Hi, Mike. I love to watch thunderstorms. It is thoroughly exciting.
That’s a lot of fouls and yardage.
Syracuse U lost to Minnesota in overtime. Darn! Still, they look good this year with the new q’back and coach.
I saw. I did not like last night’s game at all!
Oh last night’s game was the pits. But Boston lost also so it was a wash anyway.
I really wish they wouldn’t play such early games on the weekends. I miss watching night games.
Hope you slept better than I did last night.
My little buddy decided he wanted to sleep with me last night and I can’t rest well because I am always afraid he is going to fall out of the bed (which he usually does).

I woke up a few times, but it didn't take me long to fall back to sleep like it used to.
What did you cook today?
It's amazing how the young ones fall out of bed no matter what precautions.
Do they play the Gators this year?

Must be in the genes.

I will be happy when Bosux are totally eliminated. I wish they weren’t wild Card contenders.
I hope by the time the season is over they have NOTHING to brag about.
I am overjoyed your sleeping is better.
I haven’t cooked all weekend.
I went out to dinner thurs and friday evenings and i gained a quick 3lbs from those evenings of over indulgence.
no one is really around to fix a big meal for this weekend, so I did easy hot dogs tonite, and left overs last evening for my mother.
No, we don’t play them this season. Our game isn’t over yet. We have the fourth quarter to go.
But right now, we’re winning 23 - 10.
They do have one thing to brag about. Ted Kennedy is no longer driving pregnant mistresses over bridges.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.

LOL it’s ok.
Now I can relax a little. It is 37 - 13 with 5:27 left in the fourth. Auburn had something to prove today. We did well.
I never count a victory until after the time has run out. But it is looking good.
One down, how many left to go?
I still feel good.
Good evening. Glad you still feel good.

Very good!
I have about an inch of papers to grade. Most of them are essays. I loathe grading essays. There are both mechanics and content to grade. Essays are also very subjective when you evaluate them. Content can be argued and disagreed. What makes a sentence better than another sentence? Sometimes, to be honest about it, one appears great one day, but the next day it seems trite and pedantic.
An open question: what does “giving props” mean?
Oh, yes! One more thing. When does the shuttle return?
Were you asking me personally what 'giving props' means?
I do have mixed philosophies about Hussein being forced, so to speak, to fire one of his precious czars and the accompanying humiliation for Hussein that it was triggered by a movement led by the hated-by-the-left, Glenn Beck.
I would venture a guess that Hussein threw a temper tantrum in private. I would, in some respect, have rather he left the communist czar in to thumb his nose, showing his obscene arrogance, at the American people, further damaging his (and the CRAT party's) popularity going into 2010.
Were you asking me personally what 'giving props' means? No. That's why I put "All" in the "to" box. But if you know, feel free to enlighten me.
You do have a point about Jones. It is good to know, however, that Caligula was caused some difficulty and that he has just been shown that he is vulnerable. You know that must cause him no end of irritation. I'm hoping it will goad him into further arrogance and continue his downward slide in the polls. It is just small victory in a long war.
I didn't see 'All' in the 'to' box until after I posted. 'Giving props' to me means, via word or deed, endorsing someone or something.
Thank you for that explanation. I wonder how it got started being used that way.
Personally, I think it will show in his speeches. The new chip on his shoulder will be quite noticaeable.
Dog, thanks for getting us started...as for the memory thing...the club is growing & I extend a welcome to you for joining. LOL
The new chip on his shoulder will be quite noticaeable. And THAT will be a good thing.
