Pepe, Wow, during Nam we had to show our draft card to cash a check and get into dance clubs!

My father was good at these calls. I think his record was 45+ minutes. He wold string them along and sound so interested in their spiel. He would just ask them some outlandish but serious sounding questions. He would be so agreeable sounding. Just as they thought they were ready to set the hook on him, he would come out with “well, I’ll have to ask the wife, she handles all the money.”
We wold sit there just trying to not laugh out loud, tears in our eyes.
He would say “well, that’s 10 other people he didn’t get to call!”
lol

My brother had his motor scooter stolen on Christmas-Eve morning. Good Christmas for some people.

I’m OK, just need my bone morrow to do a better job some days 😐

Good day Kalima, So sorry to hear about your theft, Dear One. There is a special place in hell for thieves. Or reincarnated in a really low life form.
Hope you dragons are behaving to today. We need to find you a dragon slayer.

Kalima. manners, what are manners? It sometimes amazes me the lack of simple manners. I don’t think it is just there. I hear more cursing than I do “thank you, your welcome hello. And can’t people put down their phone?
Steroids. For me, sometimes they worked, sometimes not. but the salt and fluid intake always worked to give me the round face and bloated look. πŸ™‚ Gain10 pounds per shot if not careful.

A good morning Kalima, hope they treated our friend kindly at the “horsepital.”

Hope, the thought I had was on the heat/cool collars that you guys made. The sellers for many cancer patient needs is:
http://www.choosehope.com/

They do dot have anything like that product for sale. Speaking from experience I would have purchased that item (maybe 2) when going through chemo. Lots of sweats and chills. They are a small group and they donate monies to many cancer causes. I have spoken to them on the phone and they are very pleasant. Thought you may be able to sell them some.

Cher, If HP keeps this up it is going to find itself on Rightwing Watch. πŸ˜‰

Nellie, Like I said, I was amazed. And those are the ones they know are existing. The list of the ones that they need to investigate is also pretty long. You’re right, how does anything close to progressive even get to the floor for a vote, with all those groups fighting every step of the way?

Bernard, you are fine, you are home. There may be half the people here that go “not another comment from that …”. I keep doing it. Good people here, I hadn’t heard of many of the people here when I got here. You be cool!

Nellie, et al I am going to post this link here, hoping you will see it.

I was amazed to see so many front groups that have been looked at. Also how many that there are that they still need info on. Wonder how many spring up daily.
My new reference when I see a anti health care commercial. It’s a keeper for me

E’cat, No kidding, I saw some highschool girls with them on with their “club” name on them. That was in Tucson. 50’s retro?

Just who is that admin character I get email form? Is he the guy behind the curtain? Maybe that is who you need to email, Ad’Lib.

I would like to tell all of you “Happy Holidays”, but I guess if the Repugs get their way I can’t do that.

Whereas Christmas is a national holiday celebrated on December 25; and

Whereas the Framers intended that the First Amendment of the Constitution, in prohibiting the establishment of religion, would not prohibit any mention of religion or reference to God in civic dialog: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the House of Representatives

Am I in a clique here? Which one? Can I join another?
Can I join 2-3-4 of them at one time? Do we get satin jackets with our names on them? No pony, No horse, Now NO STINKING jacket? πŸ™‚

Having lost more than a few friends and family— the words are never there. I am sorry for your loss.

I have a sister who has decided to cut herself off a few times. Twice before I have sort of brought her back into the fold. I would tell her that we all have times when we don’t get along with someone, but we are family, damn it!Took a good year before I could get my mother and her to speak.

Now, she is gone again.

Looks like the U.K. is going to do something about the bankers bonus system. They are going to impose a 50% tax on any payment over $40,800. What do you think the U.S. will do?

What is it with the financial sector? They were the major cause of this recession, we bailed them out and now they think they need a bonus while the taxpayer and our government suffers!!

Just thought that this may be of interest:

The People Speak/Voices of a People’s History
Sunday, December 13, The History Channel
This Sunday, Howard Zinn’s “The People Speak”-the documentary inspired by his legendary book A People’s History of the United States will be broadcast on the History Channel at 8:00pm EST. The History Channel is best-known for WWII documentaries, which has earned it the nickname “the Hitler channel.” “The People Speak” made it onto this unlikely site apparently because of the irresistible actors who appear in the documentary, including Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Danny Glover, Marisa Tomei, Morgan Freeman, and Sandra Oh, along with music by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Eddie Vedder, among many others.

Might be worth watching, I might have to miss my PBS/BBC mystery.

» Posted By bito On December 5, 2009 @ 12:45 pm

Read my mind. I will email Ad’Lib and see what he thinks. I don’t feel it has to be much. like you say just an
invite.
I am still reading your last post on the news. I keep getting waylaid on the links. πŸ™‚

Who wants to do that? I don’t think I will be up that early and I have to go get my Meds early tomorrow. Nellie, do you live east of AZ?
g’day nellie!

J’avaz, What do you think of a post for Sunday morning, where people can write a summery of their local papers editorials? We might be able to see what is going on around the country -locally?

So I spent years fighting for Union representation, workers rights, social justice and now I am selfish? What age are “gen-Xers”?
