The Conservative Thread: Back to Basics. Pass the Lasagna and Have a Flower!!

That is even worse!!! Just driving off when they knew someone was in the car and could have been hurt.

We have been telling DS that the person will have to answer for what they have done, just not to us. We also have told him that he doesn't know what he is being protected from by not having his car right now. We have asked him to pray before he turns the key and ask for protection. Of course you can guess who doesn't have a car tonight? Yes, it is me! Good excuse to Dis all night!

Now, now, Blestmom. bo has experience, just not experience in anything relevant unless it's surrounding yourself with...let me just stop right there.

You're right!...

OH my gosh - I forgot to tell you all this....

Today I was reading our local paper and one of the headlines was "Norovirus confirmed as cause of Hope outbreak."

I found that to be so funny as I was thinking "Hope and Change" and the Obama campaign, not a college here in Michigan (Hope College).

And you all know what the norovirus causes....(if not - tummy aches and well....lots of #2). LOL!!! Perfect!

 

[debbieandroo]

I cannot decide if I should find comfort in BO having Clinton people around him. They do know way more then he does. If I were Hilary right now I would be so angry. He wins and then uses all the experience from her husband.

Yeah, I've felt the same way about the Clintonistas -- kinda like, well, we did make it through the 90, I guess we can do the same now. It is a little entertaining to think of all the factions - the Chicago thugs versus the Clinton thugs. If HC gets in the mix- woo-hoo!!!!

(36-43 points) You are Charlie Brown: You are tender, you fall in love quickly but you are also very serious about all relationships. You are a family person. You call your Mom every Sunday. You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few Birthdays. Don't let your passion confuse you with reality.

I'm a Charlie Brown - I knew I always identified with him for a reason...

As I said, I know it's "just a hotel." There are many more important things to be upset about in life, and I'm sorry if y'all took it as I'm some spoiled brat. Y'all will have to please excuse my brief pity party on the matter. I used to love CBR, but it has been ruined for me now that it's been Nemo-ified. We all spend a lot of time in our Resort. Theme is very important to me, and they screwed that up completely for me at CBR (i.e. Australia is not in the Caribbean). A very unpleasant time in my life is associated with the last time I went to Riverside, and I do not want those memories to hit me in the face again. My family hates Coronado Springs and refuse to return there, and my dad does not like French Quarter at all. So that leaves Nemo rooms or bad memories. Neither are appealing to me.

We as a family are very tight with money. We give more money to charity and churches than we spend on our annual main vacation, which is how we think it should be. We spend next to nothing on ourselves the entire year, except during vacation. Even during vacation, we eat breakfast in the room all but 2 days, we split CS meals, and we usually just order an appetizer and dessert on the rare occasions we eat at a TS. We could not in any way shape or form afford a Deluxe again for the forseeable future, but with the 7 for 4 deal, even staying in WL we'd have paid roughly $1400 less than what we paid this year for our trip. That would put us right at the amount we almost always pay for our WDW vacation. So, I was let down that they don't want to go there.

And beyond that, this is likely to be my last Disney trip for the forseeable future. As long as I stay in the job I should be placed in next year around April-May, I will only get vacation time during part of July, and a couple days here and there for major holidays. I will get zero vacation days during the year otherwise. I cannot go to the World in July because I can't handle the heat. So, my family can continue going if they want to, but I cannot. This was my last chance indefinitely to either return to WL or try out AKL or even my dad's 30+ year pipe dream of the Poly. I'm lucky to have ever gone to WDW even once, but as I'm watching my vacation dreams fly out the window for 10 or more years, yes, I'm a bit down in the dumps.

awwww

I'd love to know more about this. I thought Berg lost his case.

Hey, MM - congrats getting a new dresser -- what a deal!

And I think Berg appealed to the SC.

About all this BC stuff, I don't even want to get my hopes up about it. And, what if H's presidency was revoked or whatever they do, what WOULD happen??!?!?!

I was charlie brown... but they had no questions about wild rumpus dancing, which I DO do!

you do do??!?!? From one Charlie Brown to another, I like to keep my do dos to myself

I forgot to tell you about DS car. He got hit last Sunday at Jack in the Box. They didn't stop. Exactly 1 week after he got the car for his 16th birthday. But I already complained about that part.

Thankfully we had put full coverage on it and our insurance is fixing it minus the $500 deductible. What I thought was just a bad scratch turns out to be a damaged tire, rim, side panel and door. The estimate was about $1500 in damage. (so much labor) I am just sick over it but we want DS to have the nice car he got for his birthday and he cannot drive it without the new tire and rim at all. Poor kid. State Farm says more and more people are leaving with out a note or anything. He is having as much trouble with the lesson about how people behave as he is that his car is damaged.

poor guy - that's a tough lesson to learn at any age. I hate that people are like that. And stuff like hit/run garbage just drives OUR insurance rates up.

Okay, I haven't been paying attention to the news, and I skipped about 30 pages of this thread (no time to catch up), but exactly who has BO chosen for his cabinet? I've heard Hillary as SoS, but has she accepted?

I don't think she'd be wise to do so if she ever plans to run for Pres again.

What was the meeting with McCain about the other day? I've kind of been in a vacuum lately with all of the home repairs and I haven't been keeping up.

Thanks!

Short version: 1. Hillary has supposedly been offered the SoS position, but her people are saying she's torn over what to do. The AG will be the man who was Deputy AG under Reno (yippee ). Health & Human Services is Tom Daschle (double yippee ). 2. The meeting with McCain, Obama, Emanuel, and Lindsey Grahamnesty... ahem, sorry, Lindsey Graham, was supposed to be about how they could all work together and be merry. Rumors flying around was they were going to focus on immigration "reform." Good ole McCain and Graham... American people told you overwhelmingly via calls and letters that they didn't want your plan that you cooked up with Teddy Kennedy, but by all means, try and go for it again! Please, stab us conservatives in the back yet again! It's been far too long! (/sarcasm)

Once a RINO, always a RINO.

Praying before driving is a very good idea. I think I did that when I was learning to drive. It definitely couldn't hurt to pick this back up.

You're right!...

OT, but blestmom, I melt every time I look at your avatar! Jack is so adorable. I wish I could reach through my monitor and give him a hug! The little cutie! I most dogs.

I just had that last week. We've had it going around. Now that you mention that one vital symptom.... That explains soooo much. I was beyond sick all last Wednesday with it. But now I'm because one of our very own DISboard members is my CP roommate and I'm on .

 

[blestmom]

We better tell sorcerordonald she needs a bigger room!

and cheese soup in Canada... and margaritas in Mexico.. and..

Oh man...that cheese soup is the best!

I'm sorry to hear about his car. I hope he gets it back next week all fixed up.

I like that...good advice.

LOL except Hope College is a Christian school. THEY won't want anything to do with that.

You'd be surprised. A friend of mine graduated this year from an Evangelical Christian school and he is die-hard BO (he's African American though, so that might be why, but still...).

I thought the same thing but said, "I'm keeping that comment to myself!"

 

[MeghansMommy]

Oh absolutely! I just found it funny that rather than think of the college when I read that headline, I think of the Obama campaign and all of the "crap" they have spun for "Hope" for this country. It wasn't until I actually read the article that I realized that it was talking about the College.

Think that I'm a little too wrapped up in this previous election? Maybe I need to talk with someone about this.....

All of those in favor of the Fiesta Margherita over a singular flavor...raise their hands or bow in worship. November 30 I will race over to Mexico and get mine so that I am schnockered by the time I get to Germany and start to polka.

I hadn't seen this before --

I don't drink, so I will ask you if you can endure it to order either School Bread from Norway or something yummy from the France bakery for me. If anyone asks why, you can say I twisted your arm.

I hadn't seen this before --

heeee....

Sad but true that we will likely need a plumber to clean out the garbage plans that will be crammed down our collective throats for the next 2 years, minimum.

I don't drink either, so I'll take one of everything from the French bakery...

You got that right...

I feel like he's looking at me through the computer screen and thinking "Give me a doggie treat! I look so adorable, you know you want to!"

Dogs are great. Like y'all were talking about last night, the furry children are great at weeding out human baddies for you before you even know it. I may go to the SPCA tomorrow just to look around. Can't adopt, but I can look.
