Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

[wonderlanne]

My husband made me fall in love with him all over again today. I was telling him how much the kids and I enjoyed buying presents for two kids from the giving tree at the Y last week, and he asked me if the tree was empty (all the childrens' tags gone). I didn't know. He told me to go back and find out, and if it isn't empty, to make it empty and use his card. We are temporarily using separate checking accounts because it is easier than trying to manage a single checkbook when we are not in the same country. I have a debit card for his account, though, which is what he was referring to. My husband has eleven siblings. He knows what it is like to not have much, and knows that he was fortunate to have what they did just the same. I think he, like me, is just feeling really blessed to be able to help others this year. Anyhow, I thought it was so darn sweet of him.

magnificently thoughtful!

I know. *sigh* We're on the Left coast. No one comes out here.
Perhaps Dora can find what she's looking for by singing, "I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map I'm the map!"

Do you think we can send her a tape of that? That would be funny! I wish she would find a way to save our state from going in the toilet and lower taxes, but that's wishful thinking again!

Ooh, if he can bring up Rush I'll gladly meet him!

I think we need to have a write in campaign to Glen Beck, O'Reilly, whomever and tell them that there are conservatives on the left coast and we're desperately in need of some inspiration.

I'd love to go listen to Rush in person. And maybe I've got a little crush on the man.....

I keep telling him to tell Rush that there is a Rush baby that's out here that's going to be having brain surgery in the next few months and her pre-surgery wish is to meet the leader of the free world who battles the left with one half of his brain tied behind is back. Not sure if it's working or not. We'll see. This dumb tumor has to be good for something, right??????

That's so sweet! We do the Angel Tree at our Church too. Since we don't have kids it's the only chance we get to toy shop! I swear, I think DH likes it more than I do. He spent 20 minutes in the Transformer aisle at Walmart trying to decide which one to buy!!

Nobody comes here. Why would they? We're in looney liberal land! Led by Governor Dora the Explorer, she's still seeking something, we're not sure what.

Although, my friend goes to Antioch Bible Church in Kirkland and it's run by Pastor Ken Hutcherson and he is really good friends with my hero, Rush! So every time I go there I keep bugging him to get Rush up here and he's really trying. So we'll see. I'll keep y'all updated on that.

I don't know what it means, but I keep having dreams that I'm an intern for Rush. Sigh. Maybe it's just wishful thinking...

Glenn is from the Seattle area. He did his show there last night and broadcast his radio program this morning from Seattle.

Good morning! I hope you all don't mind my just popping in like this. I have been reading here for a long time, we live in Central Florida and we just LOVE the Magic Kingdom!!! I get a lot of great info, but have never posted before. I had to wait until my DH could take a look at the site first before I joined. He's really not all that into the internet, and has issues about the stuff that's out there-he thinks it's all porn! Anyway, he was kind of ok about this site because it's mostly Disney talk.

We both really liked this thread-hope ya don't mind that I've already stolen some of your great recipes?? He was also really glad to see so many good Christians here. We're both Baptists-I was born again at 14, he was a "late bloomer" at 17!!

Sadly, God has not seen fit to bless us with children. However, we've accepted that as His will and we volunteer our time with Sunday School.

Sorry for such a long post, but I do want to thank you for all your encouraging and helpful posts! There's so much to worry about these days, it's nice to find a place with prayerful folks!

Welcome welcome welcome!!!!

Welcome welcome welcome!!!!

Thanks! You guys are all so nice!!

Well we love having new people join us!!! The more the merrier!

Glenn is located in Seattle?!

 

[#1hockeymom]

Yep. He can't handle vomit. Other bodily fluids he can deal with, but not vomit (especially at 3 in the morning....)

Blah blah blah - geez Debbie - Obama does no wrong. You know that right?

Oh my gosh, your husband is the sweetest thing ever. Was the tree empty?

I wear glasses - I hate them. All of the frames are small, but that's the style now. Good luck in finding what you need - hope your headaches go away.

No biggie.

This has nothing to do with our thread, but you know how we're looking for a new vehicle? Yesterday I made DH come with me to talk with the sales guy. I am perfectly able to talk with him on my own, but I wanted DH there to actually look at the cars and help me decide on what I want. When it comes to the actual negotiations, I'd prefer DH to not be with me as he messes things up.

Anyway, he came and saw all of the great rebates that are out there on the 2008s. He just called me and told me that he wants to buy a new truck for him too because the deals are so good.

What in the heck is his problem? The only reason why we are buying me a car is because we have to turn our car in. I wanted to just buy the car we've been leasing, but DH insisted that we get a new car so we don't have anyone else's problems (um, honey, we're the only people who have been driving it). His truck is a 2004 and has about 100,000 miles on it. His tackometer is acting up and his gas mileage has gone down. We are two payments from his truck being paid off and now he wants to buy another one? Let's just fix the darn thing. With this kind of thinking, no wonder we are in debt. He just doesn't get it. I need to put him in charge of the bills for a few months so he will get it, but the last time I did that, he screwed everything up. We weren't late or anything, but he threw everything away - including tax paperwork that said "keep." Gah.

He's a great husband, a great dad and a great doc. I need to keep saying this when he does things like this. Oh, and when I told him that I didn't think it was a good idea, he got all huffy with me. Gah.

Okay, rant over.

I can totally relate. Remember, I married my auto tech. He gets calls from Ford Engineers about future problems, he won the top place for Michigan/ohio/indiana/PA. I got a lecture about used cars last night. I'm still trying to cut corners and considering preowned.. he's flipping out! LOL WHY? Doesn't want to mess with our cars when he's not at work. I guess it makes sense, in a weird kinda way.

It's snowing in south Louisiana and we're going cuckoo. We have a mayor singing "Let it Snow" on the news. He needs to stick to government. My husband said keep our daughter home because people don't know how to drive in icy conditions.

MM and I are laughing at you, but we know Blestmom probably laughs at all of us! Enjoy your snow!

JB--That's beautiful!
Maybe a red border?

Ditto!

Welcome, mkingdomlvr!



I believe the PC term is climate change. The truthful name is bullspit.

Glenn is located in Seattle?!

Welcome Mkingdomlvr!
Laughing on the truthful name

Glenn is in Seattle? I always figured him for the East Coast.

 

[JB111107]

Glenn is located in Seattle?!

no he lives in Connecticut now and does his show in Manhattan, but he's on the road with his Christmas show, and it was in Seattle last night so he did his show from a radio station in Seattle this morning. He'll be HERE in Texas tonight for a book signing. 65 cities in 5 weeks--that has GOT to suck big time, but I wouldn't miss his show for the world.

 

[mkingdomlvr]

You guys all know Glenn Beck is a Mormon, right?

 

[Soarin08]

You guys all know Glenn Beck is a Mormon, right?

Yeah but he talks in The Christmas Sweater about redemption and salvation. Mormons are Christians too.

 

[blestmom]

Well, not exactly laughing, but maybe...snickering a little...

We've gotten a lot of snow in the past few days, but it's light and fluffy, and very pretty. And it's fairly warm, at least for here. This is the kind of winter wonderland I love!

 

[Tink & Goofy]

You guys all know Glenn Beck is a Mormon, right?

I didn't know but it won't change the fact that he's a smart conservative.

 

[mkingdomlvr]

I've never read any of his writings or watched the show so I didn't know that. I just heard at my Church that he's Mormon and his beliefs are a little different than ours. There's a lot of Christians out there whose beliefs are very different. For example, DH works with a Methodist and and Episcopalian and they got into some pretty testy exchanges over Amendment 2 because their churches weren't voting against gay marriage. They're Christians too, but they think it's ok and we definately don't. I don't harbor any ill feelings towards them, but I'm not sure I'd use them as examples to follow.

 

[JB111107]

That is the one thing that confuses me about him. (Glenn) The things he says are very strong Christian, and biblical-based ideals for the most part, which don't always jive with Mormonism. They'd be more in line with something you'd hear from a Baptist, Methodist, etc.

Either way, I love listening to his show. I can't wait till his debut on Fox News.

 

[#1hockeymom]

I knew he was a Mormon (I think someone here clued me in; didn't know before that!) We're a pretty mixed bunch on this thread.

I just got a phone call. My car is no longer "Hockeymom tough". WOOO HOO! I will be having a class later today about garbage cans and driving backwards down a long driveway when you're 15, if anyone is interested in adding their children to my presentation. It will include driving on ice and snow, which is respresented well in my driveway. Afterwards they can join in:

1. Ditches, closer than you think when its snowing
or
2. Grocery carts are the enemy.

I'm contemplating buying the thing[my car, not the dent]. It does have my hockey decals on it. We're even getting a decent interest rate which is amazing for the way our summer and fall has gone!

 

[#1hockeymom]

I feel like I need a G. Beck countdown! I can't wait till he starts. I miss him!

Well, if he's on Fox, he'll be on in our house since that's pretty much all DH watches-that and sports. I'm sure I'll get to see him then.

He was on the Communist News Network for the past 3 years, and was the sole voice of sanity over there...Fox News will be much more his style. If you've never heard his show, check out some of the clips on his website. His telling of the Christmas Story is one of the best around. The Easter one is great as well as Telltale Heart that he does at Halloween.



oh...and if your DH loves sports, he should listen in on Fridays during Football Season...Moron Trivia is the best!
