Ok...first off Isabella is sick-having the runs. Hourly runs outside all night (Suz voluntarily took the night shift). Then in the morning when we weren't outside squirting, she laid on my chest on the couch and slept.
Then find out someone hacked my EQ account. I've lost all my equipment but my bank contents are still there...this is wierd and I intend to find out what the hell happened.
UPDATE: I was wrong-it was just eqplayers.com screwing up...suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
HAVE TO SAY HI TO OLD COLLEGE FRIENDS MIKE & TINA!!!
the Rick Chris & Zach podcast.
I made my Podcasting debut as a Special Guest on their show Saturday night and we had a good time. This blog was promoted heavily :)
Chris & I intend to have a political podcast upcoming down the road
Pretty sad...blah blah blah same thing....Ted Kennedy this, Hillary this...Jeezus, can't you get on a different topic for once?? You say your program is the "hardest hitting news..." yet I hear very little news and a whole lot of Dem-bashing.
In the vein of the old Wendy's commercial I say, "WHERE'S THE NEWS?"
We found a new house I could've purchased immediately...
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 dining room, 1 great room...ranch but the Great Room stands over the garage. Garage even has an elevator to the main floor!
Looks out the back over our local golf course!! They want $195k for it and are willing to go lower...because it needs $50k of renovations to update the kitchen and bathrooms which haven't been touched since it was built in the 50's.
*sigh*
The search continues.
**I ENCOURAGE RESPONSES TO THIS**
I listen to our news/talk Radio station 1180 WHAM on the way to/from work to catch the late News Update. I usually get stuck with listening to Sean Hannity who is an ultra-conservative in the vein of Rush Limbaugh.
When I listen to it, there is a tape delay (it's originally broadcast in the morning in most communities) so I am unable to call in.
I am starting a new category where (on occassion) I will respond to what he says on his show.
I INVITE SEAN TO GET INVOLVED AND RESPOND TO WHAT I HAVE POSTED ON HERE. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR ANY AIRTIME ON HIS RADIO/TV SHOW.
Now for the past endless string of nights, he has blathered about Ted Kennedy's treatment of Samuel Alito during the confirmation hearings. Now I've already said I disagree with how Alito was confronted...it was wrong and innappropriate.
However to spotlight the Kennedy issues of the past (Mary Jo Kopechne's drowning) and the fact that Senator Byrd was a former Klan leader-- is wrong, unless you're going to spotlight some Republican miscreants as well.
Let's bring all the facts to that table and lay them out....a simple bit of research should do the trick. Please note I refer to published material in every case-on the web or otherwise.
We'll start with David Duke who happens to have been (shock) a former KKK Grand Wizard as well!!!!
Next on deck we have Newt Gingrich who has a documented history of divorce/ethical issues according to this article.
Then we have Lt. Colonel Oliver North (retired) who is well documented as being at the head of the Iran-Contra weapons scandal (under Republican President Ronald Reagan).
(I do applaud Mr. North on his recent work with children of armed forces members killed in action)
Bill Bennett-former Reagan/Bush (daddy) cabinet member who, while extolling his writings on Virtues, was addicted to gambling and makes some extremely disgusting racial comments in this article.
Rudy Giuliani-According to this article he was married to his 2nd cousin, before marrying an actress, and allegedly cheating on her with a staff member, before marrying his current wife.
Tom Delay needs no further introduction other than this link.
Let's not forget about Vice-President Dick Cheney and George W. Bush.
It seems like there is plenty of "Ethical Stew" to be passed around between all..clearly the Democrats are not the harborers of the sudden ethics problem that Hannity and others seem to claim.
I do not agree in any manner about how Samuel Alito was treated by Democrats in his confirmation hearings. I do believe it was wrong and borderline abusive...HOWEVER Matt Drudge posted this "story" about Ted Kennedy.
They accuse Democrats of all sorts of things and then trumpet an ENQUIRER article of all things....PUH-LEEZE!!!
in some time....summarily beat him until he does so please. Once in a while, he actually DOESN'T enjoy a good beating.
The NFL divisional playoff games were not bad games this weekend but the Refs got so many calls wrong such as this one.
I can't count the number of times I saw BLATANT Defensive Pass Interference on so many calls. The commentators would say "Gee, I guess the refs are just letting them play". Then they'd make a call such as the one above and completely blow it. Of course the NFL just goes "Oh well...we screwed up". There should be a way to reward teams in the next season when playoff games are screwed up like this--extra draft pick or a roster exemption for a few weeks for an extra player.
Won't happen but it'd be the right thing to do.
Nothing like feeling like you have a rock in your ear canal....
This hearing aid is a wonderful device but it will take some getting used to. I still can't use it at work until I make some alterations to my work headset. For $1700 I will definitely work at it.
Friend at work just gave me Batman Begins. Isabella & I will watch it this Saturday when Suz is scrapbooking all day.
As for work this is our hard time of year...wall-to-wall calls. Lots of frustrated people..the holiday charm has sadly passed by and routine grumpiness has returned.
Had our annual New Year's Eve Bash with the Fran Clan-a good time as always. Watched Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.
Wierd movie, but very well done. Visually impressive.
Oreo Cookie & Cream Ice Cream + Creme DeMenthe...makes me sweat bullets but it tastes great...I got a wee bit tipsy.
I had Tuesday/Wednesday off so I mainly focussed on relaxing. Got back into my EverQuest a bit and got some accomplished.
Going to be a good year.
