Totally good. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 8:38 pm I am exhausted..I am an Administrative Assistant and do this all day. Whew that was totally different. Loved it thoug. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 8:37 pm Please, please everyone. Write, write to your own Senators, and any Senator who does not represent you…and more important http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact. As Macy’s says to its customers “Tell Us What You Think.” President Obama needs to hear it from us, regardless. If we do not speak up and out, he will never hear us. Other opportunities: letters to the editor, op eds, posts to Planet, HP or any other site. Letters to Rachel, Keith, and on and on. Someone close to our POTUS will and this is vitally important. If we do not tell him where we stand or how we feel, then it will our fault, not his. My heart tells me this man will listen…he wants to listen, and? If all else fails? Write to Michelle or JoeB (what a guy). Sorry, I’m partial…I love, love, love Joe Biden. Jill is soooo fortunate to have found such a guy. Sappy? Sure, but I have been around a long time and at some point one can see the real deal and not be seduced by the marketed persona. As I stated in an earlier post, I have sent more email in the last twelve months to http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact than any other time of my life. If one of my emails made a difference, then I consider my voice heard — for the first time since I have been able to vote and that was ages ago. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 7:10 pm Thoughts on the Bailout Reporting—FWIW Department Sorry, I was unclear. This is what I meant. I hope HE has a list of the TARP advisors, and that he has a BIG RED FLAG next to each and everyone who wrongly misled him. Does that make sense? » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 1:12 pm He was wrongly misled. At the time, all the cocks in the Wall Street barnyard were running around crowing, “the sky is falling, the sky is falling!” Sure it was, but only for the cocks in the Wall Street barnyard. They could have given a flying fig about anyone but themselves. IMHO, Bush signed off on TARP because it lined his pockets and the pockets of his cronies. Those guys are the real “evil-doers”, and nothing could be more evil than taking the American taxpayers to the cleaners. Personally, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise. Screw me over more than a couple of times and you become a red flag on my list. I believe President Obama’s list has many red flags by now. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 12:36 pm Friday Music Thread – Your Early Faves This was to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Oprah Winfrey Show. 2009 season premier. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 10:53 pm javaz… I’m with TRP. If you need an online ear, my email is I was in the same situation with one of my brothers about 18 months ago. No one came to tell me and I found out quite by accident. To this day, I do not know the who, what, when, or where. Completely dysfunctional family — regardless how it’s sliced. Anyway, if you need a cyber-ear or cyber-shoulder, please don’t hesitate. boomer1949 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 10:41 pm ha, ha furry, furry. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 6:08 pm Frampton…that foot pedal thing you know? ‘course I was married and had an infant at the time. Love my kids, but sorry I “followed” in my mother’s footsteps. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 5:32 pm All, Okay, I’m home from work now. My furry critters have been tended to. Jammies, fuzzy slippers, and a glass of Merlot. I have Perpetuum Jazzile cranked (because my downstairs neighbor moved out yesterday); it’s time t get to work. As a little kid, my first experiences with music were what my parents were listening to. Let’s see there was: Elvis Nat King Cole Big Band Swing and
As I got older the Beatles, Dave Clark Five, and the British Invasion. There was an Ed Sullivan Special on PBS the other night and I was amazed his program influenced the success or failure of any band…ah 1967 the year I graduated from HS…
I can identify with AdLib and Elton John — saw him here in Ohio long before he became a household word…I wore lavender, velvet hot-pants to the concert. Pretty scary. I apologize, I am so much older than the rest of you that my memories cover many more decades. So to cut it down, and as I’ve aged gracefully :-), my listening pleasures cover a wide range of genres: Perpetuum Jazzile — I love these kids (Africa, latest CD is phenomenal) Francis Cabrel (this guy could sing to me in French anywhere/anytime) Okay, I must stop…please one more?
Please forgive me…there are hundreds more..but this to be expected from us older kids 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 3:35 pm kesmarn, Did you know all the guys in “Straight Know Chaser” I have a confession…I’m a closet OVC shopper. SKC was on a few weeks ago, and I gained what little knowledge I have of them from a home shopping channel. Eewww, shame on me! » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 1:00 pm Me, me, oh please pick me? For sure and then some I bet. Just wait until you see my entries. AdLib was 4 when he first heard the Beatles? A mere child. Thank goodness for the time difference — I’ll have plenty of time to put it together when I get home from work. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 12:45 pm Friday Night at The Planet – 12-11-09 If we’re going to discuss Lindsey Lohan — I suggest stripper and pole dancing music. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 11:07 am I forgot to show up last week…sigh…another learning curve. I’m getting too old for all this cerebral stimulation. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 11:05 am AdLib, Ponder this: perhaps President Obama’s reasoning for “letting Congress do all the work on the bill” has been far less about “his neck and thumbprint”, but far more about exposing the character of the folks we sent there to represent us. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 13, 2009 @ 3:48 am nellie… It’s the expectation thing — not his — but ours (figuratively not literally). » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 11:19 pm President Obama’s Nobel Speech I’m on EST except when we’re on EDT — then I’m really grumpy. I have a friend who travels internationally and rely on this link to keep track. Makes it easier, and I don’t have to think quite as much: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 10:55 am Darn…you caught me again. It’s that damn critical thinking — I’m definitely challenged 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 8:54 am When is Stupid O’Clock? I’ve probably been there, but it’s been awhile. However when I was? I thought it was just me. Just asking in case I need someone to talk to when I’m there. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 5:17 am K7, In a perfect world there would be perfect people. All of us would be running through the streets tossing flowers and giving warm & fuzzy hugs; a global nirvana as it were. Back to reality… None of us is perfect, including President Obama. I think he knows this. However, I believe he is the real deal, and with the exception of the RW yahoos, our expectations of another individual are just that — ours. I know I am not a mind reader; I doubt the President is either. Up until this year, I had never written to the White House or anyone in Congress. I have sent so many “Contact Us” emails in the last twelve months it would make your head swim. If at least one has made a difference, then I believe my voice is finally being heard. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 4:08 am Morning everyone! Seems like I was just here. Did I really get any sleep or did I just zone out at the keyboard? Thank you Nellie. There are many things I will learn from hanging out with everyone here; the first two are. 1. Critical thinking Okay, I lied…the first three are: 3. Technical “how tos” of posting. Heh, heh, I actually thought I posted the ENTIRE speech. Newbie alert, newbie alert!! 🙂 BTW – did I tell everyone how nice it is to be here and I’m soooo glad it’s Friday? » Posted By boomer1949 On December 11, 2009 @ 3:42 am Good for her. Astronomy? Pretty impressive. The dancer is all grown up, married, and is a dedicated Kindergarten teacher. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 10, 2009 @ 6:15 pm I mentioned earlier that I was a merchandiser for a national retailer. Go figure…it was the big M. Oh, the stories I could tell you. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 10, 2009 @ 6:12 pm That and a trip to the spa. My youngest was a tomboy until she was 8 or 9. Then she started dancing…ballet…tap…jazz. Girlie costumes, stage makeup, feather boas, and all that jazz (no pun intended). Pretty pricey, but it kept her off the streets at night. 🙂 » Posted By boomer1949 On December 10, 2009 @ 6:03 pm I worked as merchandiser for a national retailer following my TLBD epiphany. It was so much fun! Why? Because I merchandised TLBD — different styles — different vendors — different bodies to go in them. What amazed me the most were the number of women who did not see in the mirror what the rest of us saw away from the mirror. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 10, 2009 @ 2:58 pm A wonderful story and one with which I can identify. Been there, done that, bought (no not the tee shirt), but the little black dress. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 10, 2009 @ 2:19 pm It’s because THEY are poor losers and whiners. Oh, and did I mention greedy old men? Except for Boehner — he’s just a Crispy Critter in disguise. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 10, 2009 @ 7:46 pm Thank you and no I hadn’t. It’s a shame that many are so cynical, negative, and jaded. Things were so bad before — they wouldn’t recognize good if they tripped over it. Then there is the RW — nothing will ever please that group. They make a living from their meanness, selfishness, and their contrived self-importance. They want President Obama and all that he stands for to fail and fail miserably. They will try anything and everything to make it happen. It is our responsibility to have his back and make sure THEY fail. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 10, 2009 @ 7:27 pm Don’t know how you feel, but Bottum was not very impressive. He is the Editor of First Things. I’d never heard of it, so I checked out the website. It’s pretty self-explanatory: http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2009/12/10/media-alert-bottum-on-pbs-newshour/ Ohhh, I love the “edit” option. Woo Hoo!! » Posted By boomer1949 On December 10, 2009 @ 5:38 pm You poor thing. Sherrod Brown is one of mine, the other is “I’m Retiring and don’t give a damn what happens” Voinovich. 25 mph wind, 15 degrees and windchill 0 to 9. No snow, just darn cold. I was born in San Diego and will never forgive my parents for moving here. » Posted By boomer1949 On December 10, 2009 @ 5:33 pmComments Posted By boomer1949
