Interesting

I find it interesting that sometimes the people that care are the ones you least expect it from.

The one bad thing about having internet friends...

When they fall off the face of the earth you have no way of finding out if they are okay.

You know who you are. If you are out there, at least let me know that you're okay.


Interesting how I have to post this the same time every year..... 8/27/07; 8/28/08 I'm beginning to see a pattern...

Puppies in Politics

Poll shows Obama should buy puppy

"Among pet-owners, McCain has clawed his way to a marginal advantage; 42 percent supporting the Republican, 37 percent the Democrat, according to the results of an AP-Yahoo News poll.."

I was thinking when I said that I wanted to discuss politics that it might be the economy, the environment... you know, something ... totally boring but important? LOL But turns out, it's more important for Obama to have a puppy. What makes me think his girls might have started this poll??? Sounds like something a certain 6 year old would do.....

Not political

Ducks causing major havoc.

Three-vehicle crash blamed on ducks

Associated Press

PALATINE, Ill. - Illinois State Police are blaming a small flock of ducks for a three-car accident that blocked a major highway near the Chicago suburb of Palatine.

Master Sergeant Rene Benavidez says the ducks walked onto Illinois Route 53 Friday afternoon, and a driver had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting them.

After the sudden stop, the first vehicle was rear-ended by two others.

Benavidez says three people suffered minor injuries from the crash and one of them had to be extricated from a van by the Palatine Fire Department.

The whole highway was shut down for about 15 minutes and traffic was diverted onto Northwest Highway.

The ducks were not injured.

I just had to laugh at "The ducks were not injured." It reminded me of the "________ were not hurt in the making of this film."

I have to say...

The hits on this blog come from some very unusual parts. All different countries. It's very odd, since I really don't say much. I'm sure Google is responsible for it, but it's just amazing to see where the hits come from.

Anyway, thought I'd post a little on here since it's been a while. And, you know, we have this election thing going on. I have to say, I didn't post during the democratic primary...wait...oh, there was a republican primary too?... sorry, must have missed that. The reasons for not posting during the democratic primary was because I literally cannot discuss HC without losing my mind and didn't want to turn the blog into a shouting match - although I know Libby would have backed me up!

So, I thought since I would like to have an intelligent conversation on Barack vs. McCain, here would be a good place - WHERE I CAN DELETE THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T AGREE WITH ME! MUUUHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, sorry, I didn't mean that. Unless stuff gets belligerent that of course I'll delete! But I don't see that happening. Unless it's me. And then I'll have to add Libby as an administrator so she can delete me.

There are already a couple issues that I need to look into further regarding Barack/McCain. One, oil - and I am happy to hear that McCain has decided it's okay to do drilling offshore. I have to see what his other plans are for other forms of energy. I heard that 67% of Americans are FOR off shore drilling. And 18% are opposed. Proving once more that America's school system needs some work since we can't even add up to 100. LOL Then, of course, there's the war. But I really need to read more on that.

Please feel free to add issues in the comments, I can turn them into posts later!

Super delegates

Could someone explain to me why we need these people? I don't get it, and it's making me a bit crazy. Can't we just get rid of these people and have the popular vote rule? I do try to make things simple sometimes, but I just don't understand the need for them.


And is it just me or has someone decided that Florida will just not be able to vote in any presidential elections. LOL I hope they get their act together by November.

Stupid Studies

I heard on a commercial for the news tonight that a study was done that showed anxiety affects pregnancy. Which led me to a rant, which my husband had to sit through in person, regarding just how stupid some studies really are. Have you ever wondered why on earth a particular study was done? Some just sound so obvious to me that I can't believe money was wasted on them.


We need more studies on the benefits of chocolate! Not ridiculous studies on things that are obvious to everyone to begin with.


Anyone got a good one for me?
