This is what I feel like is happening a lot of times. Wacky group, good song, GREAT video effects!

Tsk Tsk
The state of the country we live in is not very good to say the least. McCain wants to talk about associations though. He wants to talk about abortion - which at any other time would be a hot-button topic. Right now, though, we are ALL concerned most with our pocketbook. Both candidates are playing to "Joe the Plumber" and those like him, but "Joe" isn't really a good representative of independent, undecided voters. He's not paid his taxes, is against social security, and there are rumors (which I haven't yet spent the time and don't really care to) he isn't registered to vote and doesn't have a plumber's license in the county in Ohio he lives in. I really don't care about "Joe" himself though. He's just another distraction being used - this time more by the media - from the real issue at hand. We need to get out of the hole we're in. I'm not whole-heartedly enthusiastic about Obama. I'm wary of all politicians. He seems a little TOO smooth sometimes. A part of me feels like he could be my generation's Kennedy, the other part fears he's the democrats' Bush. That's just my personality though. If there was a better VIABLE candidate out there, I'd happily switch my vote. But there's not. Hillary is a toxin to the party so long as she's the top dog, and therefore for that reason, I'm glad she lost the primary. Imagine the mud slinging we'd be going through right now if she was the democrats' candidate instead of Obama. Aye. We need a candidate with a plan.I need relief from the stress that this economy has brought upon me - and millions of others just like me. I've quit watching the stock market except for the curiousity at the end of the day, IF I catch it. I don't watch as much news as I used to. I have the television ON one of the cable news channels, but I'm actually not watching it. I can't even hear it barely. I have some music softly playing in the headphones on my pda as I write this. So all I hear is the music and my typing and the respective sound from my pda (I can turn it off but sometimes I like hearing the chink chink - reminds me of an old typewriter). I'm at what I call "my Mother-mode" stage. And it's not what it sounds like. My Mom quit watching the news years before she died. As she said, it was all so depressing and it only dragged her down. She quit voting after the Nixon resignation, completely disenfranchised by the political machinery. She never told me which way she leaned, and never gave any clues. She hated EVERYTHING politics. So when I get in that "stage" - I won't NOT vote, I promise - I just shut down. I turn off the tv, pass on the paper (except the comics lol), and pass the blogs too except headline reading. It's not that I don't care. It's that I can't care at the moment - it's dragging on me too much and I have to break away for my sanity's sake. It's not voter apathy either. I've made up my mind. I'm not changing it.Ok on with the blog.I was just reading on the scroller on the tv that oil prices are now the lowest they've been (crude) in 14 months - just under $70 a barrel. (Language alert) IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME. I understand inflation makes $1 a gallon impossible, but 2 is reasonable - 3 is not.I just found out some great news last night. The woman I call my adopted Mom because she's always been there from the time I was 7 is going to be a first-time grandma! (Tes, if you read this cuz, yes it's who you're thinking of!) She just found out recently herself, so she's so estatic. It's too early to tell if it's a boy or a girl, but right now who cares? I'm so happy for her! Her kids (lmao "kids" - the one who's wife is preggo is my age lol) were very good kids growing up and have grown into great young men - as anyone knew they would. I have started trying to give Nimbus and the other cats some liquid vitamins, but of course after the hairball medicine fiasco, Nimbus will have nothing to do with anything voluntarily that LOOKS like medicine. Curzon doesn't get it that it's good for him, he just likes the taste oddly enough. Jadzia's always wary, but I'm not as worried about her right now. Right now the focus is on Nimbus. Funniest thing is - the vitamin stuff smells nearly dead on like Frosted Flakes! LMAO. Only me would smell cereal in vitamin goop lmao. But it is what it is - er smells - right? LOLAnyways I am off for now, to rest after my first non-overtime day this week - which was spent totally on laundry lmao. But I now have clean work clothes (I was out lol) that'll surely be needing washed again by Monday lmao. But that's for later! Right now is rest time.... Ahhhhhh.

A Brief Post
During my brief news watching today, I saw a very interesting interview with "the Donald", aka Donald Trump.
I really don't have much respect for most multi-millionaires, as most seem to be greedy and selfish.
But I like the way he thinks. He's no typical rich man, he's not voting McCain, he's anti-Bush.
He agrees with yanking the golden parachutes away from bankrupt companies' CEO's. He agrees that the bailout was a necessary evil.
Most importantly, he knows too that, in the long term, we will recover, though the short term looks bleak right now.
I guess we'll have to add him to the list of GOOD millionaires, er billionaires. Boy what a short list...
Gates for all the money he donates to so many various foundations, and his own, ensuring that kids in school get to have computers in school.
Buffett for realizing he can never spend all of his money, therefore promising to give almost his entire fortune away, a good chunk to Gates' foundation. He also isn't a high-paid CEO (do the research, you'll be surprised how little his salary is).
And now Donald... for being rich AND smart. Though his position is tenuous right now, I do think being rich and smart deserves at least SOME kudos!

Handy Info
Thanks Walter for the email! I edited it down slightly but didn't kill any content.
Ya'll know I'm not one for sharing emails, but this one called for it.
Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how the primates do it.
Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!
Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.
Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
To really make scrambled eggs or omelettes rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up.
For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt chocolate mint patties in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.
Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.
Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and... ta da!... static is gone.
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can'tdigest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!
The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something else; he took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material... I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. Well ...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit.You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free... that nice fragrance too. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box ..well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months.He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long!

Tick Tock, Tick Tock...
Just a thought...
If McCon wins next month - what will we do when he dies? Can he really handle the physical stresses of being President?
Can the USA SURVIVE a President Palin?
When will the stock market stop falling?
When will Treasury Secretary Paulson stop speaking mumbo jumbo and start speaking PLAIN American English? Or at least SOME variation of English...
And when will the first freeze come? Dang it, I hate the cold, but these fkn gnats are annoying the hell outta me too!

Wow - two blogs in as many days!
Hello again my friends.
Whew, what a week. We got a bailout - a piece of shit bailout, but a bailout. This is no fix. It's merely a band-aid to stop the bleeding so that we can fix the underlying problems. It is an evil we could've avoided, but now is a necessary one to keep us from digging ourselves into a hole we can't get out of. I can only hope that we begin to fix this from day 1 in 2009 when we get a new president sworn in. Sooner would be better, but I'm not hopeful.
I've finally found a program to replace the program that I used to use to snatch stuff from the PC onto the PDA, thanks to a msg board full of nerds 'n geeks lol. It's way more complicated than what I need, but it does the job free so I can't complain too much. Now to find a program that'll upload tv schedules free. Dang greedy bstrds!
Using my bank card paid off, finally. All those bills paid, all those work lunches - I cashed in my points for a measly $15... for THOUSANDS of dollars in bills paid and lunches bought... sheesh. But hey, I had to spend the money anyways, so I'll take the extra $15. I was thinking about buying the bigger CF card, but I don't want to waste it, and now that I have the USB sticks, I don't really need it as much either. I could buy some more undies, but I'm ok there too for now. So what should I spend it on? I think it's my treat fund lol. Or my peach tea addiction fund. But sadly, $15 is only gonna buy me tea for a couple weeks at best, the way I drink it. I think I have something even better in mind - a good surprise - but if I post it here, I'm going to spoil it. I'll let you guys know what I come up with - afterwards!
I've had a few people ask me if I'm worried about my bank collapsing. I'm actually more thankful that I switched when I did. My last bank getting "bought" makes me wonder how solvent they actually were. I think I made a good move, and it's turned out to be quite beneficial so far. I have had to get used to a couple changes though, but those should work themselves out. I am hopeful to say the least that my reluctance to switch to this bank will turn out better than I had expected.
I had someone else ask me at work last week if I thought coupons were the way to go. Here's my take on it, for all of you to know.
Generics are nearly as good as name-brand, and in some cases better. The store-brand soups are actually less salty than Campbell's, which my Mom - and I - swore by. Cereal is usually slightly less sugary, and WAY cheaper. The deal is with coupons is you usually get $1 off or whatever, but you have to buy so many to get to use that coupon, so by the time you ration it down, you're only saving a quarter each, if that. Take cereal. General Mills cereal coupons are usually $1 off of 2-4 boxes, depending. One box of a generic knock-off is usually anywhere between $1-3 cheaper (yes sometimes it's that dramatic). And in some cases, it's better too! Soups are a toss-up, if there's no generic knock-off available. But here's what I swear by. Use coupons when you have to, buy generic whenever you can, and use the store cards as much as possible. Yes they track what you buy, but so what. Let them. Maybe someday they'll give me a $2 off coupon for my cat food! hahaha... I've been known to leave a grocery store with a cart FULL of groceries - literally - and not even spent but $100. Be willing to cook - or live off of tv dinners. Some are quite the deal for the price. They just usually need a little seasoning, but that's not a big deal. Don't buy the expensive laundry detergents like Tide. Era is almost identical, works just as well, made by the same company, and costs A LOT less. But if you don't have as sensitive as skin as me, go cheaper. The money you save going cheaper will enable you to buy the things you CAN'T go cheap on - like cat food. I won't bargain there unless it's do or die. Luckily the best cat litter is my store-brand clumping litter. And on that note. Yes I know the other stuff is cheaper - but you go through it MANY times quicker. Trust me. Get the clumping. You'll thank me later. Yes you spend $4-6 instead of $1-2. But you're spending that $2 every week if not more often. That $6 clumping litter, if it's a good one, will last you a month if you only have one cat. And remember there are some of us who have to buy 28lb every week or two. Imagine if I used the non-clumping crap. Oh geez... 10lb twice a week - AT LEAST. And Tidy Cats stinks! And how many times would I have to replace the box itself?!?... *shudder* I've replaced my box THREE times since Nimbus has been alive. Once when we moved in with Mr. Cat, once when we moved up here, and just recently. The only reason they got replaced was because they'd nearly scratched a hole into the boxes, and the Ohio one I think actually did have tiny holes! I'm a firm believer in washing boxes now and then - you have to. Ammonia gets into those scratches and will not come out any other way. Besides, the amount of soap - and I just use dish soap - I use is just the same as a load of dishes. Beh, I can part with that.
Ok I got off on a LARGE tangent there, sorry folks!
Anyways...
Off I go to tinker with the PDA... I recently got re-addicted to one of my games and I also have a new one I'm trying to figure out - me and those logic games lol. Plus my fk u finger on my right hand is all bandaged up - one of Jadzia's back feet tree-sloth claws got me earlier today and it's still slightly oozing blood. Nothing serious but annoying nonetheless!

Boo!
Hello my dear friends.
Sorry I've been away so long.
I am well, I promise, just tired.
I hope all of you are well.
I am reading most of your blogs still, just not dropping in for visits as often.
I'm sitting here right now watching CSI Miami - something I haven't done in ages.
Another thing I haven't done in ages - made pancakes - and judging by Mr. Cat's reaction, it was a good thing ;-) hehe.
Nimbus is doing good, still having audible breathing issues, but not as bad. We both seem to believe he's just congested.
I am about to try to put Curzon on a diet, though how you put one - or two - on a diet and not the other, I don't know. Oddly enough, it's Nimbus that DON'T need a diet this time. Both of the twins could use it though. I think it was all the canned food I gave them though when I was trying to get Nimbus healthy.
It has been cool here lately. I really regretted not having my winter coat on Thursday morning - I didn't think I would need it yet - so needless to say it came out Friday morning. It will be worn Tuesday morning, ride or not - forecast low right now is 40! I am starting to think fall is not coming and we're going straight from summer to winter.
Did you guys hear that they found Steve Fossett's plane and possibly some of his bones? I am glad, though they won't be able to recover the rest of his remains and his plane for another 6 months or so because of the weather. But IF it is him - and in a way I hope it is - his family now has peace and a chance to move on properly.
And how much more stupid can Palin be? Now she's accusing Obama of befriending terrorists. And the Saudis are hosting peace negotiations between Afghanistan and the terrorists. They're THAT worried about Iranian influence that they think a peace deal has to be made. Pardon my language here. FUCK PEACE. Send in the whole army. Kill every last one of those bastards. I want Osama's head in DC. Ok maybe not literally, but you get my drift. They're mass murderers, and as such, should be treated accordingly. This is the nature of war - a war THEY declared.
Back to the cats.
This month will mark 7 years since I rescued the twins, starving, filthy, and probably a little dehydrated. Now they're big bears!
And one last thing before I go.
Watch for a small change to my blog. It will be QUITE fitting of me and where this blog has gone lately.
Again, sorry I haven't been on much, there just hasn't been much to say - much less time to say it!
Sorry I've been away so long.

Nimbus is doing good, still having audible breathing issues, but not as bad. We both seem to believe he's just congested.
I am about to try to put Curzon on a diet, though how you put one - or two - on a diet and not the other, I don't know. Oddly enough, it's Nimbus that DON'T need a diet this time. Both of the twins could use it though. I think it was all the canned food I gave them though when I was trying to get Nimbus healthy.
It has been cool here lately. I really regretted not having my winter coat on Thursday morning - I didn't think I would need it yet - so needless to say it came out Friday morning. It will be worn Tuesday morning, ride or not - forecast low right now is 40! I am starting to think fall is not coming and we're going straight from summer to winter.
Did you guys hear that they found Steve Fossett's plane and possibly some of his bones? I am glad, though they won't be able to recover the rest of his remains and his plane for another 6 months or so because of the weather. But IF it is him - and in a way I hope it is - his family now has peace and a chance to move on properly.
And how much more stupid can Palin be? Now she's accusing Obama of befriending terrorists. And the Saudis are hosting peace negotiations between Afghanistan and the terrorists. They're THAT worried about Iranian influence that they think a peace deal has to be made. Pardon my language here. FUCK PEACE. Send in the whole army. Kill every last one of those bastards. I want Osama's head in DC. Ok maybe not literally, but you get my drift. They're mass murderers, and as such, should be treated accordingly. This is the nature of war - a war THEY declared.
Back to the cats.
This month will mark 7 years since I rescued the twins, starving, filthy, and probably a little dehydrated. Now they're big bears!
And one last thing before I go.
Watch for a small change to my blog. It will be QUITE fitting of me and where this blog has gone lately.
Again, sorry I haven't been on much, there just hasn't been much to say - much less time to say it!
