can't watch that show.


anything that is related to EX Governor Blago, i stay away from.

due to his corruption, the state of illinois is in dire straits.

Ummmm....being from STL, I think I can safely say that IL has had political corruption long before Blago showed up on the scene.

According to my mother, six ex-govs of Illinois have either been thrown out of office, impeached, investigated and/or indicted since she was born in 1945. Corruption runs deep in this state.

Mac - if you want some good ice cream, I have a new one for ya. Last weekend, I went to Cold Stone Creamery to buy a cake to take to a friend's house. Once I got there, I realized these cakes are $25 for a small cake. Good, but not worth that even with a coupon. I found they had cupcakes. Something new. They are TO DIE FOR!!!! I got the Double Decadent Chocolate. Dark Belgian Chocolate cup filled with a small amount of Devil's Food cake and ice cream, topped with whipped cream icing and half an oreo. Yummy.

Nope, nothing sweet in the house except a bag of sugar. And I don't feel like driving to get anything. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some cookies from Subway or ice cream from 7-11 while at work (since they're both right next to my store).

Speaking of my store....the A/C has gone out again. It went out last year and the A/C people our corporate office uses fixed it, but said we deserately need a new unit. Well, not the condenser motor has gone out, which is $500 to fix, but the A/C people are waiting to see if someone is going to spring for a new unit, cause it would be pointless to spend $500 then have the unit go out and have to be replaced. Our corporate office doesn't really want to pay for it since we're only leasing and may not be there forever, but haven't been able to find out if its in our lease agreement. I mean I understand that a new unit would be about $5000 (from what I heard)....but I'm gonna melt from all this heat! It was 90 degrees all day today! And all I have are 2 box fans blowing around the same air all day. I'm a very sad panda.

You can both come to my house.

A diabetic's cupboards are always overflowing with CANDYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

 

[keishashadow]

morning all

do frozen vodka slushes count as dessert, always good to have gallon container in freezer in case of emergency

mac mrs B (here-to-for very stoic, still water running deep sort) was a-whining fiercely last night re the injustice of the mr not being allowed to have his day in court (she references a couple of years before trial?). Said their security was yanked 3 minutes after he got booted & how their family has been ravaged by the papazarri. Also states she's driving a 21 year old car & in danger of losing their house & kiddos might not be able to attend their private schools. I find it hard to believe that if he was doing payola for long time there isn't money stuffed in the mattress

last day of skool here

 

[marciemi]

last day of skool here

Ditto here! Off to Eric's 8th grade graduation! All my babies are now officially high-schoolers!

 

[tlinus]

half day today and half day tomorrow.

Kait doesn't have an 8th grade graduation......they just move on up to the High School. My oldest is going into 9th, Court will be going into 5th and Frank will be in 2nd come 9/1/09.

WICKED storm blew through here about an hour and a half ago.....I was stuck at the ACME because the lightning and rain were intense. Yes, I cried. I am not afraid to admit it

Hope its done now.

Cleaning time all - be back later to chit chat!!

 

[tlinus]

Ditto here! Off to Eric's 8th grade graduation! All my babies are now officially high-schoolers!

Congrats to Eric!!

im hooked on the stoopid im a celebrity show - get me out of here; least i've taken to taping it so as not to waste an entire hour of my life. Anybody else watching?

Yes Roids made me very thristy ((hugs)) and I too am hooked on I am a Poser and Have nothing better to do show In fact here is meh thread on it...

I want Bees for Sanjaya!!!! The Official 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!'

can't watch that show.


anything that is related to EX Governor Blago, i stay away from.

due to his corruption, the state of illinois is in dire straits.

they state is trying to pass the state income tax from 3 to 5%.
that's a 67% increase.

and they also want to raise the exemptions ....

which means anyone that makes $50,000 gross a year or less, pays no state taxes.

that is so wrong.

i'll get off my soap box now.


back to your question, Patty the wife of the ex governor, is on that show.
she claims she is doing it to raise money to pay their bills ....

I have to say I am so happy Patty is on the show and not Blago, but I can just imagine Blago and Spencer... omg way way too funny

I know some girls here who would DIE to have a studio like that closeby. There is so little culture in my neck of the woods.

Glad you survived! Maybe you should treat yourself to a few hours in a jacuzzi somewhere and a nice long massage.

Thanks, we really are very lucky with such great support of all the performing arts in this area. This July, our high school is scheduled to begin construction of the new multimillion performing arts center. It will be fantastic.

dang!

i'm having a very blonde day today.

i have water boiling on the stove as i am making chicken marsala for dinner.

the timer just went off.
it was then i noticed i forgot to put the linguine pasta in that pan of boiling water.



dinner will be delayed now.

Oh my gosh, me too!! The orthodontist's office just called to get DS in for a loose wire at 2 pm. I told her sure, no problem. Then I promptly hung up the phone and forgot to take him.

yes, i am one with the Jigglypuffthanks, im just a big baby scared the tar out of me. Im drinking gallons of water, must be side effect of the meds? 'roids & antihistimines?

I had something very important to tell you that I quoted you, but I'm still having a blonde moment.

Has anyone tried Wine Cellar Sorbet in Champagne flavor? It sounds delicious, I'm afraid to buy it from my food co-op without knowing what it tastes like (I'd have to buy 8 pts. at over $6 a pt.) Could be a very nice treat to celebrate our 17th anniversary coming up.

I'm thinking you could make those cookies from awhile back without the chocolate chips if you had peanut butter. Trust me. They're easy.

 

[macraven]

minnie jack, you and him are gonna eat 8 pts of ice cream???





i'll bring my spoon and help ya........
