Me, too.

That's a very cool service. We could use that in our work. In fact, we're in the process of conducting surveys now.

22693. wonkers2 - 10/14/2007 3:44:31 AM

Cap'n Dirty sez, "Me too. But the survey didn't even scratch the surface!"

22694. Ms. No - 10/14/2007 8:48:55 AM

Thanks so much everyone!

Can anyone else get into World Crossing? That place is so fouled up, it's sickening.

22696. betty jo - 10/17/2007 5:30:39 PM

I'm getting completely fed up with it. >:-(

Sloppy.

22697. betty jo - 10/17/2007 5:31:50 PM

I'm watchng Bush live. What an embarrassment.

22698. betty jo - 10/17/2007 5:33:11 PM

Turkey approved military incursion into N. Iraq.

22699. betty jo - 10/17/2007 5:34:23 PM

During Bush's press conference. The rest of America knew before Bush. He's about to find out right now because the press conference just ended.

How did you like his answer about Israel's attack on Iraq's nuclear facility in the 80's, Betty Jo?

"I was tryin' to make a livin' for my family in the 80s; I can't remember back that far....." and when the reporter asked him to consider it NOW in an historical context, he accused the reporter of trying to "use a ruse" on him to trap him into answering! Jeezus H. Christ.......

22701. betty jo - 10/17/2007 5:50:57 PM

I KNOW!

22702. betty jo - 10/17/2007 5:52:28 PM

Oh, and LOL at "trying to make a living".

22703. betty jo - 10/17/2007 5:57:14 PM

What a putz.

Yeah, I had just awakened...yes, I sleep in so sue me...and I was staggering around the kitchen looking for coffee and flipped on the radio which is always on NPR. I nearly went back to bed.

But it was comic relief, really...Magoseph called me while I was cracking up over that "1980s" comment. I wish now I could have seen the look of incredulity on the reporter's face as Bush grumbled off his bizarre answer...as though it hadn't happened to him personally in the 80s so he had no opinion whatsoever on it.

I wish the guy (was it David Gregory by any chance?) had asked him about the American Civil War...I can see it now: "Sir, I realize you weren't alive then but surely you've seen Ken Burn's excellent re-creation of....."

Hahahaha!

22705. arkymalarky - 10/17/2007 11:24:39 PM

Nothing wrong with sleeping in. I do it every chance I get. And Dad the Early Bird sleeps late now that he's retired.

I didn't even read about his conference, but I was trying to make a living when he gave it today.

Re Bush: wrt Turkey and Iran and Cheney/Bush, we're in danger of things becoming even more un-glued. I wonder what's holding the stock market up. I find it hard to be optimistic.

22707. Magoseph - 10/18/2007 2:42:42 AM

I wonder what's holding the stock market up.

I think the stock market has been going up, at least not down, because the economics of the world are no longer dictated by the United States. We, for the first time, have a true world economy. What happens in the US is still quite important, but definitely local. Investors find it just as easy to be long a Chinese or Russian stock and short the US dollar. It’s definitely a different game today.

22708. wonkers2 - 10/18/2007 6:08:09 PM

All true.

22709. jexster - 10/19/2007 5:34:33 PM

She's denied it before Cap'n but I suggest you get your de-pressed Michigan butt over to Mago


Oil 90 bucks a bbl.

She's rich as Croesus

I am so pissed: I thought the US Postal Service was supposed to deliver your mail to your house? Well, OURS has said they will not pick up mail OR deliver it until our village gets done with the road work they are involved in...resurfacing and putting in new curbs. There is always one lane open but the PO claims it is impossible for them to get to the individual streets.

However, WE are supposed to be able to drive through this "impossible" situation every single day to get to the Post Office.
