WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 11

So when do you think this one will end?

I only wrote about what happened in 1933, the crash happened in 1929. A major problem was the lack of anything done at that time to get things back in control. A situation that lasted from 1929 to 1933. Hoover was of the mind that it was the the place of the government to intervene, and relief should be charity and private based.

The spooky part is that the financial collapsed in 1929 was due to a lack controls. Then, very tight financial controls started to be slapped back on, to rein in the financial markets.

Many of the controls, that were a reaction to the crash were removed or relaxed the the past 20 years or so.

Oh my gosh, I just found ANOTHER 50 inch TV for the price of the 42 I was considering! It's 720p rather than 1080p, but from the research I've been doing, for my purposes 720p is perfect. From what I understand, 1080 is better if you're planning on playing Blu-Ray discs or doing lots of gaming. What I've read says if you're doing neither, then 720p is fine and cuts the cost a bit too.

I'm SO non-technical oriented, so reading all this stuff has been as exciting as watching paint dry.

I'm going to go ahead and get the 50 inch! It's not possible to have a TV too big! I can't wait!

We're a 1080p family.

Back from my meeting today. It was a long meeting but got some good information. Our party President was there giving a speech and glad handing everyone. One of the organizers of the meeting made sure to bring him over to our table to say hello to me, and then he joined us for lunch. Think of him as the equivalent of the new GOP Chairman Michael Steele (I couldn't quickly find the Democratic equivalency).

So as far as the "insignificant cog in the expansive Canadian Parliamentary system", the cog just moved a few notches. Or at least his ego did! LOL

Now I get to drive for 9 hours to get to Prince George tomorrow, have another meeting on Monday and then Monday finally get home after about a week away.

Looking forward to finally getting home. Monday night can't come soon enough!!

Are you practicing your bows, or is it curtsies?

It must be a heady experience hobnobbing with the bigwigs.

Walmart has their own version of two buck chuck.

Oh, I figured so! You guys are who I thought of when I was reading about what the 1080p is good for.

Since I'm used to watching channels with lots of static, then I have to move the rabbit ears around until I can get less static, 720p will make me more than happy!

What's the use of having a child, if you can't make him stand out in the yard holding the antenna? Besides, the fresh air will do him good.

Brooke and I just got back from the skating rink. Before we left I wondered what the kids would be wearing and what music they would play. Well lets just say that nothing has changed. The girls were wearing striped leggings, baggy shirts with three belts on top of the shirts, leg warmers, and side ponytails that were all ratted out. While I was there they played Walk like an Egyptian, Pump up the Volume, Thriller and Madonna and many others that I can't remember. It was like I was in a time machine.

Trader Jo's has a wine, called Charles Shaw, that is $2.00 and it is frequently called Two buck Chuck. Anyway, Walmart has one that is $2.00. I was just trying to help out the recession I wouldn't want anyone to have to stop drinking.
