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

[chicagoshannon]

I just read the start of Blestmom's TR. Dolce, you promised an update, then didn't deliver How am I supposed to keep reading then?

Speaking of updates, I did some this morning on my Dining Report!

Going to check out the updates now.

Dolce- I've been lurking on your TR too. I'm a bit jealous you got to go on your 30th. Mine was last year and we didnt' do anything. Well I think dh took me out to dinner or something.

Obama better reign Clinton in. There was worries she'd be a lose cannon. I remember him on the campaign trail...

OBAMA: And you can't take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children and our grandchildren, and then say that you're cutting taxes, which is essentially what John McCain has been talking about.

Oh, you can't? So the stim includes tax cuts and who's going to pay for it???

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090222/wl_afp/usdiplomacyasiachina_20090222075127

"Because our economies are so intertwined the Chinese know that in order to start exporting again to its biggest market, the United States had to take some very drastic measures with this stimulus package," Clinton said.

"We have to incur more debt. It would not be in China's interest if we were unable to get our economy moving again."

Oh my goodness, your baby is adorable!

I'm in the middle of reading your Dining Report now. Thanks for making me crave things I can't have! Just kidding, about being mad, not the cravings!

Your pics are gorgeous. What camera are you using?

Thanks, I saw your comment over there

I'm using a Kodak M1033. I got it for Christmas, it's just a point and shoot, so nothing fancy. It helped that it was an absolutely gorgeous week!!

Going to check out the updates now.

Dolce- I've been lurking on your TR too. I'm a bit jealous you got to go on your 30th. Mine was last year and we didnt' do anything. Well I think dh took me out to dinner or something.

Hope you enjoy

I leave Thursday again for a long weekend (I have a busy season for work for the next three months when I get back, so I'm taking advantage of the "off" season!) I'm heading down and visiting my parents for the first two days, then Epcot on Saturday...for my birthday, DTD on Sunday, then home. The bf is coming with me. He's met my parents, but my Mom's parents are down there now, so he gets to meet them too Hopefully the weather forecast holds for our trip: 80, 82 at the parent's place, then 80 on Saturday for Epcot! and 79 on Sunday for DTD. Only rain is on Sunday, but I can deal with that

I'm so excited I need to do some laundry

I don't know if you guys have talked about this. I've been and hit and miss on the boards lately. (I know Soarin's seen it)

I just took Glenn Becks Survival quiz. I think it nailed me.

Your Survivor Type: Fighter
You attack adversity with determination and grit. Tough, resilient, and never a quitter, you keep going when others give up.

 

[honugirl]

Hey, Honu, where'd you go?? I have something for you.... something I just found that I know you'll like.

Hey, sorry! The bird had to go to bed, which meant that I had to turn the computer off. But for the next two weeks, the bird will sleep downstairs and I have all the computer time I want!!!!!!

when i first went to wdw, the rose and crown served afternoon tea. it was okay, but i didn't compare with the gf, so i suspect that is why they discontinued it. still the gf is my favorite tea.

I didn't know the GF had afternoon tea... hmm, might have to do that!

No, with the fact you share a birthday with my stupid sister.

Hm, the Small World song would be better... I'm just sayin'...

OH i would love that!!!

That would be a blast! I haven't been there in a few years. I'd love to go back to the Empress.

I just took Glenn Becks Survival quiz. I think it nailed me.

I'm a thinker:

Your Survivor Type: Thinker
You see problems clearly, using intelligence and creativity to overcome adversity, relying on your brain to meet challenges.

I took it again and I'm also a realist (changed one answer):

Your Survivor Type: Realist
You know that life is hard so you face facts and do whatever is efficient and effective to achieve your goals.

I'm a thinker too! It's pretty dead on. I can look at complex problems, especially mechanical ones and generally figure it out.

Nailed me, too!:

Your Survivor Type: Liberal
You show resistance to logic, refuse to prepare for the future and just hope that the government will take care of you with other peoples' tax dollars.

 

[Family Fun Mom]

Glenn gets it right again. I'm a connector. I get strength from friends and family. That could not be more right on.

Your Survivor Type: Connector

You are deeply devoted to family and friends and your social bonds give you the strength to overcome any adversity

Hey guys! I finally started my trip report...

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2099164

There's also a link in my signature. Come check it out...it seems so lonely over there.

I pulled it open on my home computer before work this morning and will read tonight. I did see enough to know that I'm never moving to Alaska!!!

Good morning everyone! Dolce, what do you mean no one is reading your trip report??? Of course we're reading it! We are just being patient and don't want to rush you. We all know artists can't be rushed.

"Artists?" I know you've been reading, Teresa. I just think that I took too long of a trip; I'm a bit burnt out on writing it and fighting with photobucket and have been pretty busy lately. When things got quiet I was just like 'eh? why continue?' But I'll finish. Esp. since I've now whined about it.

Dolce, you promised an update, then didn't deliver How am I supposed to keep reading then?

I know, I know. I had a rotten day Friday and went out to a wine bar after work with co-workers instead of home to update my TR. I'll try to update it tonight with what I had planned for last Friday.

I'm in the middle of reading your Dining Report now. Thanks for making me crave things I can't have! Just kidding, about being mad, not the cravings!

This is why I've yet to start her Dining TR. I'm on a diet. All dining TR's are on hold until I win the weight loss challenge at work (ends in April). So, onelilspark, please keep your link in your sig.

I wish, the "Survival Quiz" had allowed us to choose more than one option. It was difficult to pick "one or the other" on several questions.

I took the quiz again. I changed two answers and it changed the results. Now, I'm a "Connector".

 

[Dolce27]

I know, for most of the choices I'd be doing more than one thing. I'd be praying while taking action. Believe me, I could run from a bear while I'm praying - wouldn't be hard to do.

 

[Mr Man]

Hello fellow Conservatives. Just checking in to make sure our constitutionally guaranteed freedom of association is still valid.

No way I am going to read everything I missed in here......

Hope everyone is well.

I don't see how ANYBODY can not see the correlation between Obama and the market. It has consistently declined since he locked up the dem nomination.

Is he completely to blame? No....but, Wall Street doesn't like his policies or his agenda. They have no confidence in him and NEITHER DO I.

 

[chicagoshannon]

My survivor type is a Thinker. Apparently so is Steve Jobs, Hilary Clinton, and Chelsey Sullenburger (the pilot)

 

[SwedishMeatball]

That is the bottom line which the left will not recognize. Then again, in their world, WS is evil and not a necessary part of a socialist agenda.

I am literally feeling sick thinking about the market. I would think the national bank issue has them unhappy. DH today had more taken out for his 401 K . I didn't really want to do it but it seems like more financial planners are saying stay in and buy. I should just not watch the little ticker. No chance the pres is gonna bail us out if DS has no college fund in 2 years.

I'm sick about it too. I'm just thankful DH is only 32 and not close to retiring. DD doesn't have a college fund at the moment. We were going to start one but are glad we didn't at this point. We haven't changed our 401K at all, haven't lowered it or increased it. I don't open the 401K mail when it comes anymore.
