Gov. Dean will have to share firsties with calm weather! Hope y'all are getting plenty of it! Cooler and windy the past two days here. Reports of some little tornadoes in northern California. Here's an article about the connection between California weather and Midwest tornadoes:
Good about Vermont's health care advances; I gather there is still a good long way to go, but it sounds like a big step in the right direction, and builds on what HE WHO NEED NOT BE NAMED brought about.
Consulting work continues to pick up--two more jobs out of the blue today.
Granddaughter*in*VT overheard her Mom speaking to me by cell phone on Thursday. She said something and I heard her Mom reply, "No, Grammie has to go to work." I tell you it broke my heart to bits!! I wanted so much to go pick her up and take her to our house for awhile!! Later in the day (while I was at work) her Mom spotted Mah*Sweetie walking into the hardware store as she was driving by with Granddaughter. She beeped and waved. When Granddaughter heard that Grandad was nearby she was very upset about them not stopping! So her Mom had to say she must have been mistaken and it was someone else, so she wouldn't be so upset!
So we are MORE THAN READY to have Granddaughter here Friday afternoon and evening, so that her parents can go out for the evening and celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary!
Ended up pulling my car up the road: Flood warning and BIG storms on the radar. Water was sheeting over the bridge at one, and much more on the way. Down this morning, but more flood watch all day, so I'm leaving it there.
Was talking to my ex last night, and discovered that my former brother-in-law, Cholly, has just been accepted for hospice. He was always my favorite in the family: a truly good human being, huge soul -- the kind of man who gives Christianity a good name. . . .
I offered to drive him up to PA to see him before he goes. He said he'd been going to ask my son to drive him up for the funeral. He's thinking about my offer. Guess that's kinda of illustrative about the differences that prevented us from making it. For me, given the choice between a hug and funeral, no choice: hugs win every time.
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.
OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...
JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain. Alone.
JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the other side. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together…. in peace.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2010, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken2010. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ........ reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
AL GORE: I invented the chicken!
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?
DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?
AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
This is hysterical!! And obviously a bit dated. I don't know how I've missed it until now, except that maybe my friends have been taking me seriously about not sending me group spammy emails! LOL!
This is hilariousl!! And obviously a bit dated. I don't know how I've missed it until now, except that maybe my friends have been taking me seriously about not sending me group spammy emails! LOL!
Okay, I'm being bad grandma this weekend. We've had Grandboy every single weekend and I'm really tired. Feel so bad to tell them he can't sleep over, but I just need to recharge.

Excellent!
ReplyDeleteYes, he need not be named, but given what he did for Vermont to bring this day to reality,
ReplyDeleteI want to name him anyway!
Thank you, Dr. Howard Dean!! The doctor is so very IN!

Here come another impressive line of storms.
ReplyDeletePoor Barre, Vermont (next to the capitol of Montpelier) has a foot of rain on the town streets!
Just wanted everybody to know that I'm about to leave for Columbus. Will be back Monday evening.
ReplyDeleteBill, hoping you have a fine time, and stay safe!

ReplyDeleteI only have one friend who does that. And he can't quit, lol! I just sent it to him. (Got it from the joke board of another place I blog).
ReplyDeleteBTW, listener, love the pic. Bleeding Hearts are right close to being my favorite flower. And congrats to the kiddles.
