Conservative Thread: U.S. Steele - Back In Business

[DisneyMomOK]

We still have this Ronald Reagan:

There is nothing more impressive!

 

[DisneyMomOK]

SD - I am sorry to hear about all that. Good grief! But it is a good thing you kept persisting....I would have been too intimidated. I'll keep praying...



How could I have forgotten PB! Not to mention the Williams Sonoma outlet next door [that is where I can really spend some money].



Hey, TL - thanks for the ribs recommendations. I'm a pulled pork girl myself so I don't know much about ribs.

And, more about old movies, TCM is showing "The Great Escape" right now. young James Garner in a turtleneck

I agree, pulled pork is better than ribs!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RONNIE!

We miss you, we really really really miss you...

Thanks for posting this, Debbie!

Hey, Lib's! We got the message: you're stalking Wonder.

She might be able to report you for that.




OK. So, they want to put us in debt to create new jobs. BUT, that's a short-term solution. If our economy is still tanked - and putting us further in debt vs. stimulating the economy to actually drive us out of the recession - which is the only thing this bill will do - will not create the money to keep these jobs long-term. Eventually there will have to be mass lay-offs once again when the companies run out of the hand-out from the Gov. for the created job positions.



Head’s up PR – it’s not alllll about you. One comment, out of everything I said in that post was about you – but none of it was directed towards you. But, since you brought it up, and everything I posted apparently hit a nerve, now I’ll tell you: stop lurking. Oh, wait, you can’t help yourself. Eh, then you and your friends need to learn to deal with it if you’re going to lurk over here. I disagree with 99.99999% of the stuff on your thread and I’ve seen several of you post things that I find very vile; but I don’t invade your thread. I just deal with it. Like a big girl.

…now about that hanging. You want Obama hung? Because when did I ever say that I wanted Obama hung? I was just agreeing that Obama is showing more sympathy towards terrorist right now with how he’s handling Gitmo and giving the prisoners American rights they don’t deserve. You’re the one brining up hanging.

But, seriously, these are prisoners of war – not American citizens. The don’t get any citizen rights from our country anymore than any of our US Soldiers ever captured and taken as prisoner overseas get from the countries that capture them. That’s why there are military courts. But you – and your Obama – want these men brought on US soil and given American rights. They don’t deserve American rights. They’ve tried to kill us; once free they’ll still try to kill us. You too. Voting for Obama doesn’t give you a free pass from not getting killed by a terrorist that hates America. They hate Obama too. Every one of them that has been released has returned to a terrorist cell that wants us dead.

Now I’ll have to worry about them being my neighbor. Now I’ll have to worry about them having legal rights to live on US soil as they continue to plot and attempt to destroy this country. Because if they’re brought on US soil, and if they are given citizens rights for a trial, and if my taxpayer money goes to pay for the trail and if they get off on a technicality – or whatever – they will have legal right to stay in the US if their country will not accept them back.

You may want to rethink moving back to the United States now that Bush is out of the White House. (Or are you staying in PR and you consider that the US?) Bush made this country safe. You can hate him all you darn well want; but he kept this country safe. Obama, in two weeks, is already making this country vulnerable for attack again. Mark my words; there will be another terrorist attack on US soil under an Obama reign because Obama is making it easy for one to occur.

Now – my post here; it not open for a debate. You invaded a click thread and not one of the debate threads on the main CB. Take it out onto the main CB and if I feel like arguing with you; I'll find you.





Like the sig.







I'm sorry for your husband.

It sounds like there are some folks taking your message to heart, Dolce!

 

[DisneyMomOK]

yeah...a mite sounds about right. the bee thing is pretty serious.

we're also in yet another year of drought here, and things are getting pretty tough. i even saw on the news that people are starting to use divining rods to find underground water sources.

I have always worried that limited water resources will be a crisis for which there is no easy solution.

And, another reason to celebrate....

Move over Detroit and Chicago, my hometown was just given the dubious honor of being the second most miserable [yes, Forbes used that word] place to live in the US. The most miserable? Stockton, CA....

http://www.forbes.com/2009/02/06/mo...usiness-washington_0206_miserable_cities.html

Forbes used factors such as crime, corruption, tax rate, pollution, sports teams[?], and weather [????]...

Ironically that the likes of a Daley, Blago, and Granholm weren't enough to unseat good ole Memphis....

This will be exciting to our hockey fans -- the success of MI's pro teams was what propelled them [Flint and Detroit] to a respectable 6 and 7 in the miserable factor. Chicago, alas, is only 3rd.

Sooooo, this great news allows me bragging rights to one-up anybody who complains about their own city, at least until Forbes comes out with another list next year.

And, it is interesting -- government corruption and taxation - the two big factors in determining misery....from these first two weeks, it sounds as if we have a good long four years of just that coming up....

I'm glad to do my part to keep hockey in the greater Flint area! *Forbes is deeply hated around here. They've put Flint #1 too many times! But, our 12.3 unemployment rate is soooo nice along with snow, corruption in gov and police, and general murder and mayhem! As They say in Semi Pro..

WE'RE NUMBER FOUR! LET'S GET TROPICAL!

 

[DisneyMomOK]

Thanks! She is cute, isn't she?

My DD reproduced a painting by Hieronymus Bosch with "food items" so I know that must have been a difficult task.

glenn was talking about that man whose daughter disappeared in mexico...he interviewed the guy, but it seemed as though he was crying because the law(or whoever) has given up. glenn promised that his network would not give up. her father, who glenn interviewed, thinks she was given as a "gift" to a drug cartel. heinous.

We had a thread on that. It got pretty nasty.

but we do have

Uhhh, excuse you, missy, but he was born in Tupelo!!!! So he's ours in MS!!

Hey, Elvis belongs to everybody.

Hey, Elvis belongs to everybody.

Ok, ok....

Yesterday.... ugh. Let's not even discuss it. It wasn't work-related. It was something else. Though work was a bit , but I love it. I'll just remember to start bringing a jacket on days when I work stocking the cooler.

Hi all, happy Saturday. Bit of an update on the $4,000 test front...

After speaking with additional folks in these offices, something is rotten in Denmark IMO. My mom talked to a person in the company itself about the cost, and they're who got the financial info from her. I thought it was to make sure she could pay since insurance likely would not cover it. Remember also I found that odd because we have good insurance. It was explained as they don't think it's necessary. Well, I'm a questioner by nature and something didn't seem right to me. So, some further chatting and we find out that the financial info was asked for because if insurance won't pay, as long as our household total income was under a certain number and we had a house payment, the company would eat the entire $4,000 cost for the test. And that's when I knew something was not quite right here. What company just says "If your insurance doesn't pay, we won't make you pay. We'll eat the cost!" A company is going to absorb a $4,000 bill like that? Hmm. Being a Psych. major in college myself, my mind immediately turned to "They want it for research purposes."

Well, turns out this is the only lab in the entire COUNTRY that does this specific test. It's still very new and, ding ding ding, We have a winner!, they eat the cost because they want as much data as they can get while they try this new test out. So I don't particularly find comfort in the fact that whether or not she gets chemo will be based on the results of a test NO ONE ELSE in the U.S. does that's still in the "new" stages. Apparently this chemo doctor is in with this lab company on this new testing for research purposes, so he recommends most of his patients have this test done because he's excited about its promise.

I'm just very bothered by this. If it's that new, and this lab in this city is the only one that does that test, and a handful of doctors in this area (possibly only him) are the only ones who use it, who's to say these results will mean anything or even be accurate? Again, they already knew the cause, already knew the % chance of it coming back, and yet the chemo decision will be made based on this data? From this new test no one else in the country does?

I ain't happy. At all.


I said a prayer, and will continue to do so.


Prayer said.


Prayer said.


everyone.

Prayers being said.

Debbie, you forgot that wonderful mayor of yours....

I love St. Jude. Several of my wish kids have been there and it is really impressive.

Mphs does have a ton of great places to eat, too.

As for entertainment, we still like the zoo and the Red Birds. Everyone should go to Graceland at least once, don't you think?

 

[wonderlanne]

I'm sure many agree with you

 

[Soarin08]

Have you guys seen this?? I'm working on an email right now-

http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/21018/

I think Glenn has the right idea. Wait, he always has the right idea, never mind....

 

[MeghansMommy]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least we'll be rid of her here.

Those two quotes above refer to Granholm going to the SC.

Oh please God in Heaven, if you have ANY MERCY on this dear country of ours, PLEASE don't let this happen. I'll take Granholm here in Michigan for the rest of eternity if you can just keep her away from the SC.

I need a valium. Where can I get a valium? Anyone got one? Gah.

 

[Soarin08]

I need a case of 'em. Let me know if you find some.

I have always worried that limited water resources will be a crisis for which there is no easy solution.

we've had an official drought before, but it didn't last for long. i guess it's been two noticeable years that we haven't had a lot of rain. we're already metered and we have assigned water days; my lot is the california version of "oversized" so i pay a premium for the extra water i allegedly use. i went out and purchased a siphon last year to save water from the bathtub, and i have watering cans in the shower to catch shower run off. anything to save that water.

SD, from my perspective, and this is coming from someone with a rare disease who fights every day for better and more accurate tests for diagnosis...

Don't discount new tests. Give it a shot. Even if it is for research purposes. Someone had to test all the tests that we have nowadays, a long time ago, even things as simple as a blood count were unreliable tests.

Several of my tests are only processed at one lab in the country and only a handful of doctors use, but that's just protocol for my disease.

I honestly would give the whole left side of my body to be involved in something like that for my disease. New things come out everyday and it just may be the thing that saves your mom's life.

But remember, this is coming from someone who's diagnosis is going to take a year + to get and is very rare (I knew I was special, just never knew how special...)
