I just love my Dick. I hope he has many more years to enjoy his good fortune, his grandchildren and life in general. Very happy for him.

I did the same, laughed out loud and the dog gave me a funny look like I was not all there or something.

I remember that word from my childhood...

I bought some gas yesterday
To fund work and errands too-
When I saw the price of it
I hardly believed it was true

It is only a skosh more money
Than last week, truth be told-
But for now, every penny counts
And each dollar is like gold

Carter #Deux says drilling won’t work-
Like the first one, he won’t budge
He should just shut up and do it
Then let our wallets be the judge...

She keeps proving my theory that her stylists hate her.

I’d call her average-nothing more-but her conceit is off the scale.

this was enjoyable.. i did have to laugh at the freeper who commented on the FR thread on this story that he found her "uppity and arrogant, not attractive in a woman." Bless his heart!

I just got a call from the contractor I do work for, and he wants me to help him with a job that would provide both of us with a regular weekly check for a couple of months, at least, if he gets the bid. He won’t know until after Easter, but-I’m sending prayers to St. Jude, and lighting plenty of extra candles starting tonight...

I forgot to tell you: during arena football game, they gave away some prize to some fans. The lucky winners were these Asians wearing Obama 2012 t shirts. When they showed them on the big screen, there were quite a few boos.

good sign! the paralegal in my ofc, whom i have mentioned as being orig from Pgh, was telling me that her elderly aunt [in Pittsburgh] who voted for him the first go-round, cannot stand him and will not vote for him again. She has convinced the aunt that sitting home isn’t good enough she has to go and vote for the Repub nominee. The aunt says she doesn’t care for Romney and Eva said, hey, i don’t either, but we cannot leave this to chance, we have GOT to go and vote against Obama.

Thank you both! We were saying how great it would be to be able to not ration every dollar, trip to the grocery store, etc, even for a little while. And you may rest assured that we’re telling everyone we see to get their asses in gear to vote the idiot in chief out of office so we are not in this mess any more.

We were talking about how wretched our lives were with Carter in office-as young people with small children, etc. He said too many people have forgotten the misery index, gas lines, high food costs, etc-and he is absolutely right.

If the 5th is this pissed off can you imagine SCOTUS’s reaction? Game on.

Thank you! MrT5 and I were friends with that guy and his wife for over 15 years. He and I worked for the same company, and were both left unpaid and in the worst way by the owner when it went under.

Every time I’ve worked with/for him then and since, we have both always made decent money on the jobs we did and the customers were happy, probably because he is an honest and decent person, and we watch out for one another because of our friendship.

I saw something about the 5th circuit on Fox-does their challenge mean they are pissed, or is it just a point of law?

The fact that the judges are demanding a written statement on something that should be a given is very telling.
