In the spirit of the holiday, let's all come up with something we're thankful for.

I'm thankful for ...

Healthy children.

Family (& friends that qualify).

Being born to parents with above-average intelligence.

Good food I don't have to cook.

A car that gets me where I wanna go.

A roof over my head that doesn't leak.

A dog that thinks I'm *all that* & more.

Living through the 80s.

Music.

Chocolate.

Teeth that don't hurt.

Soft pillows & flannel sheets.

Cap'n Crunch & Cocoa Krispies.

Chapstick.

A paycheck.

President-Elect ... anybody but Clinton. BAHAHAHAHAHA

LOL

ROSE said...

Oh, man ... settler beans are like baked beans on steroids. Lotsa different kinds of beans, molasses, sugar, bacon, hamburger ... onions ... they're like a meal within themselves.

Pies are in the oven, rolls are on to rise, turkey's all slathered with butter ... beats the heck out of trying to shop today!!

Cecil Underwood has been laid to rest. Well, laid to be researched, I guess. I don't mean to speak ill of the dead, but I don't remember everybody thinking he was all that great when he was actually in office.

LOL Or something like that.

I'm hearing a lot about how "safe" President Bush has kept us all for the past 7 years, since 9/11. "Safe." How he's kept us from being attacked again.

Does anybody remember anything like 9/11 *before* President Bush got into office?

September 11, 2001 wasn't an overnight whim. It's not like it was a bunch of frat boys who thought it'd be fun for kicks & giggles.

Why, then, will Bill Clinton be remembered more fondly than George W.?

Does WVs budget balance?

MORE BONBS, ANYONE,anyone anyone please anyone

ROSE said...

Anon @ 12:45, I believe you've selectively translated. I see that someone thinks he'll be remembered as an inspiration, I see my comment about how he entered us into the war Bill Clinton didn't have the cojones for, I see that someone sees him as a great man ... & then there's you, accusing us all of bad mouthing him.

See, this is why talking politics is always an amusing effort in futility.

There's a forecasted high of 50 today! Then more snow for the weekend. It's not coincidence that hurricane season in Florida ends just in time for snow to fly in WV.

If you turn back the clock a few years well more then 30 or there abouts. OPEC was formed and enhanced by Jimmy "the fag" Carter and so began the USA and its people being held hostage. 9/11 was not the first attack on the twin towers either although it was the worst in history I for the USA. But you can rest assured it will not be the last of its kind.

I to agree that NOBAMA will be our worst nightmare as long as he is in there which will not be long with Billary running the show. Some may think he is the Savior but will go down in history as the most destructive President to this nation after the Clinton Gore NAFTA which everyone has forgotten about already. Their North American Fair Trade Agreement set Bush up for the biggest downfall for a president and left him a trap none has seen the like since the Great Depression. The worst is yet to come and when the rest of the factories move to Mexico or China you will know the effects of NAFTA. Yes it was signed by the Democrats and Powers that be in office. Just remember Bush was put into office by Democrats not republicans so you can't blame the Republican Party for the mess.

I also am a Democrat but I am not a blind and deaf Democrat with Alzheimers as most seem to be.

Let's talk about something we could all use more of - manners.

It is no more polite to say to a slim person, "You're so skinny!" than it is to walk up to a fat person & say, "Lawd, yer FAT!"

Conversely, it's not really polite to say to someone, "You look tired. Have you been sick?" unless you know that person really, really well.

Anonymous said...

Bush looks tired, wonder if he's getting sick?

could it be that the income from the tax-exempt oil trusts falling might be the cause of Bushs current ailments.

it's my opinion that them who enjoy our freedom and way of life the most should pay the most.

ROSE said...

"them who enjoy our freedom and way of life the most should pay the most..."

Wouldn't that be the illegal immigrants & System Suckers who don't pay anything at all?

wonder what B. GATES and W. BUFFETS military records would show.

Anonymous said...

I for one would like to see the draft reinstated. Not to takes kids straight out of high schools but take them straight out of our prison systems and send them to the front lines of the two wars being fought now.
Our prisons are full of those who enjoy our freedom but are costing us the most to keep so why not let them give back to society. Just think they are trained killers already therefore saving us the trouble of training them. The thieves we could send over to steal all the oil we need while getting military pay to do it. Gas at $.12 cents a gallon. I think I could afford a vacation then. The jails are full of drug addicts so send them south of the border to take all the drugs they need for the same pay. The rapists and pedofiles we could also send to Iraq and set them free as I am sure they wouldn't last through more then one IED anyway. Now as for Bill Gates and Buffet their moneys and military records are non existant to the USA so ship them out also. I want Bill Gates Job for a week or two as that should give me an allowance big enough to last the rest of my life. To del do

Just heard on the news we could have $1.00 a gallon of gas come the first of 2009. I doubt the greedy people here will ever lower it as we are still higher then the national average. Of course it cost more to transport to Wv as they carry it on mules yet.

Anonymous said...

I drove through a small town in southwestern Virginia this morning and gas there was $1.48. We are getting closer to that dollar gas.

Anonymous said...

I read a news article that the cost of a barrel of oil has fallen 70% since the high of last summer. Do the math $4.19.9 a gallon of gas minus 70% would bring it down to about $1.27. Why are we still bending over?

Gas has been that low for over a month everywhere but good ole greedy Wv. Our GLUTTINS here have to get all that tax dollars so they can steal it out of the general fund. The last Manchin in office dissappeared with $80,000,000.00 and not a trace or a word has been mentioned about it since. Makes you wonder how much "Smokin Blow" will steal.

Anonymous said...

I am a little confused. Why would PEARL HARBOR day be a happy day?

Christmas means no one in particular although we've come to apply it to one special person.

my understanding is that Christ means the anointed addition of mas means a feast or fiesta.
The person being referred to was actually named Joshua[hebrew], in greek Jesus.

that is Jesus the anointed. now tell me , who anointed JOSHUA and what did being anointed mean in those days?

ROSE said...

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. That does, indeed, mean it applies to "one special person." Biblical scholars (which I'm not, so I tend to trust) agree that "Christ" means "annointed Messiah."

There is only One. There were many who were "anointed," but there's only one Messiah (no matter what the media says about Barrack Obama ...).

Guess they are still trying to prove its unconstitutional to test these druggy teachers in our school system. Makes absolutely no sense to me at all to not test them, after all they are the closet people to the kids.

Tax money comes from people who work and are randomly drug tested and they are the ones paying teachers salarys and all the rest in the school system. If its good to test them for drugs then its good to test the druggy teachers to make sure they to are clean.

You never hear of anyone complaining at the workplace about having to pee in a cup unless they have been using drugs. Does WVEA and Aclu think they have the perfect people all teaching school? Yes evidently they do they are still fileing lawsuits to prevent it. Who knows we might even have a mobile meth lab in the school buses with a deputy sheriff driving it. TEST them all let the test sort them out.

hey Rose whut you think of that new CLAY COUNTY economics authority that's trying to form. understand the authority fot CAEZ expired some three yrs. ago. never done much towards new jobs in CLAY co. no how. did keep the co. functioning through the acquisition of grant money for various purposes.

wonder who will inherit their DUNDON club house and camp ground if they re-form.

seems like they have established an org. for the acquisition of money for needy purposes and are able to pay their expenses by skimming 5% off each succesful grant that they acquire.

now FRAN has learned how to write grants. now if some one would learn how to get the CLAY co dumps EPA tested for and cleared, if possible, of discharging toxic waste. iT would be a miracle accomplishment worthy of an accolade from the rooftops.

ROSE said...

Personally, I think anything that would improve the economic conditions in Clay would be fantastic. Unfortunately, we always seem to get a lot of ... well, good ideas with very little follow-through. Compromise doesn't have to mean everybody loses.

Regarding the drug testing of teachers ... good grief. Teachers are about the only ones left on the planet who aren't subject to drug testing & they're always the ones that protest the loudest. Teachers unions aren't opposed to testing when there's "just cause" or adequate suspicion. That's kinda like trying to put your seatbelt on as the cop is chasing you at 100 miles per hour.

Honestly, it's not like you can fire a teacher, anyway, so what difference would it make? Also, if "adequate suspicion" led to a negative result, the offended teacher would just sue & make way more money than s/he would ever make as a teacher.

Actually we don't have to do anything. We vote, so therefore we can gripe. I for one didn't vote for her and never will. She is up next for re-election and she will be replaced. I have met a few that still like her, mostly desperate men, but anyone with any sense won't waste the vote on her again. She thinks she is "above" everyone else and that she is some sort of Queen with special powers. We don't need those kind of people in any office.

I like your way of thinking and I to will cast my vote for a rabid dog before voting for her. We have been denied the right to vote on issues that county's surrounding us have had the opportunity to vote on. Why were we denied that voting right? Because Pete and Fran would not allow it. You can bet your bottom dollar I will help her when the time comes. Queeny right out the door. Pete was a better man then Fran and he was booted out of the CCC.
