Starting to line up contractors. If any of them look like KC's guys, I'm just gonna start breaking sh*t around here. *note to self: go to Home Depot and buy a sledge hammer.

Everything. And just to be clear for those who may think Obama walks on Water, I don't just blame THIS administration. This type of thing has been coming down the pike for a long time. It's just that NOW, I believe this administration believes they can pass any turd sandwich under our noses that they want to and we'll just take it.

It's ironic that you bring up the "validity" of polls AND Bush/Kerry in the same post. If memory serves, nearly every poll out there had Kerry winning. Same with Gore. :biggrin: Polls are only as good as the organizations giving them, the crossection of the people they are polling, AND the honesty of those organizations' results. If you put more stock in polls than what people really SAY, well... :biggrin:

The nice thing about drunk posting is that, for every one person who will eventually regret it, there are about a dozen of us who are SO thankful for them. :biggrin::cool: On another note, GOOD LUCK, EBONY!!!!!

Very PC. :biggrin:

Erm, it was HER that posted it!

Cleosmom, obviously you put your stock in polls which can be skewed or outright lied about. I have talked to people and have seen where these things we're talking about don't work. So long as you believe what you hear and I believe what I see, we won't ever come to a meeting of the minds. Trust me, I'd LOVE to see life through rose-colored glasses. I simply choose to be faced with reality than some fluff I'd LIKE to believe.

HUMONGOUS luck, Fanny!

Sorry, hubby and I were over getting one of the gay neighbors drunk on our leftover mojitos. They, in turn, fixed us pork loin, corn on the cob, green onions (all done on the grill) and some fantastic potatoes. YUM!

You know what would make us more energy independent? Actually BECOMING energy independent!! Why are the pinheads on Capitol Hill against us drilling our own oil?? Not only would WE then be able to set our OWN price, we wouldn't be funding terrorists who hate us AND we would be putting Americans to work! But somehow, that's a stupid plan to too many because heaven help us if we upset the spotted three-legged long-snouted Alaskan caribou. :thumbdown: You know what would have helped the American auto industry? For the government to have stayed the hell out of it, let them restructure and rid themselves of the unions who dictate and run up the price of American autos, and for the government to quit demanding that they put out shit products that people not only don't want to buy but CAN'T AFFORD because of all the government specs put on them! Since the government took over, how successfully has the industry turned around? The government can't even run a food kitchen much less the auto industry. If you can't see yet how inept they are at it, give it time. ROTFLMAO!! How many military have YOU talked to? I have talked to plenty, besides seeing interviews on television and the internet, and they would beg to differ with you. ESPECIALLY if one is a vet. Walter Reed Hospital ring a bell? Trust me, that's just one of MANY. Says this survey which I think carries more weight than your anecdotal "survey". Meeting Enrollees' Needs: How Do Medicare and Employer Coverage Stack Up? - The Commonwealth Fund Whether or not the users like it is inconsequential. The fact is, many doctors will not accept Medicare because it takes them forever to get paid -- and when they DO get paid, they don't even get enough to break even. Many times they don't even make that much. And frankly, if the government would get the hell out of the way and quit dictating what insurance companies can and can't do, the insurance companies could combine efforts and save us all a hell of a lot more money. But as it is, they can't do that.

This is exactly what I'm railing against. If this doesn't scare the shit out of you, nothing will: The Cash for Clunkers website, if you use it, allows the government to tap into your computer. I'd love to hear from the Patriot Act haters.

NO, I also complained about using MY tax dollars -- yet AGAIN -- to help people purchase new cars. So... not only are we subsidizing the car industry via bailouts and/or outright takeovers, we are subsidizing them (and individuals) by giving them tax dollars to buy new cars which are predetermined by the government. Excuse me, but whatever happened to free will and being able to buy whatever the hell I want? This is just the tip of the iceburg.

Meh, used to be able to do much more when I was heavier. Went out with a group one night and did 13 drinks total and could still walk a fairly straight line. Seven of those were Long Island Iced Teas. I get much drunker much quicker these days after a few, so even five was pretty impressive. Granted, we started around 7:00ish and quit drinking sometime after 3:00. Even walked the neighborhood twice during that time. Was out like a light, though. Won't EVEN admit how many Xanex... :thumbdown: I'm not like this (neither is hubby), but I think I needed it. If that makes sense. I've been in a humongous funk for over a week now and I've never been a party girl, so...

Morning everybody. Yes, morning. DH and I decided to recreate our mojito party from Friday night and ended up having five of them. Didn't go to bed until about 4:00 or so and woke up at 1:45 this afternoon. Don't know if the Xanax we took along with the mojitos had anything to do with it. :scared2: Went for a store run about 9:30 (before drinking got going too far) and got fixins for queso and chips, and I also got salsa for me and my very favorite Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk. Now I have to not eat anything for probably the next three days. I was VERRRY bad. :thumbup: I'm STILL not awake and it's now 4:00. Holy blackout, Batman! :thumbdown:

For me, pineapple juice has NEVER helped the food go down, but it DOES bring it back up. So long as it dislodges, I guess this is a good thing, but so far I have never been lucky enough to have pineapple juice allow the food to go down.

Frankly I have no idea why MY tax dollars are going to pay for somebody else to get a car. Um, no, they're all about trying via this maneuver to dictate what types of cars we will be allowed to drive. Why do you think the government now OWNS much of the auto industry?? That's a very simple way of putting it. If ALL they were going to do was do chest x-rays, I MIGHT trust them not to screw it up. MIGHT. And I don't trust them to run the military, they simply have the job. I certainly have seen how they've SCREWED the military who came home and needed care. Just ask one. Illegals are treated with more dignity. Says WHO?? I have yet to talk to ANYbody -- user or doctor -- who even LIKES Medicare, much less loves it!

You say that as if there's any other reason!

I had no AM at all... lol

I'm sorry, Tap. And I hafta say, you must live just this side of hell. When it's not dropping miles and miles of snow for 10 months out of the year, it's raining. :sad:

I was drunk posting so bad last night I had to go back today to be sure that I didn't say or do something I'd regret. Like promise myself in marriage to some Sheik or something. I didn't even wake up until 12:40 this AFTERNOON! And hubby wants to do it again tonight. :blink:

Is 8/27 really too soon, or does it simply conflict with your dad's birthday? Girl, you can do it.

I think he's freakin' HILARIOUS!! He's my new hero! I love and and can relate to his sense of humor. And I'm officially drunk on mojitos. I blame Lulu. Just cuz. Kat, you made me smile, even through my mojito drunk.

Sorry... I don't get much attention over here. Read as much as you can tolerate. They are effin' hilarious!!

Okay, totally mojitoed and making popcorn and watching The Butterfly Effect.

When you get a chance, read more from his site. There aren't tons (yet) and many are freakin' hilarious! He has the twisted sense of hilarity that I LOVE and would love to emulate.
