o_a, you can send him the snopes link if you think it will do any good.
I sent a note to all on the list that said:
Howdy gang, I hardly doubt multi-millions of dollars would be raised and spent if this wasn't probed first! Let's keep the false allegations, whisper campaigns, fear mongering to a minimum. It doesn't take long to research these items. One quick look on Snopes.com is the easiest. The political season is bad enough. Let's focus on truth, and things that bring us together. Anyhow, here is the link from snopes.com:
Yadda yadda yadda. I doubt it will work. Crazy Uncle will keep sending me BS right wing crazy crap.
Thanks for the snopes link. I wasn't at my desk, so I didn't feel like doing the research yet.
Last minute happy birthday to you, Deena.
Fay, no, I probably wouldn't pay $16 for it either but I wouldn't pitch a fit if Jilli came home with one for $16. Any raising of the decimal point however... NSM.
But even then, it would still be useless unless you have $15 high ceilings and could manage to look at it daily without feeling like you'd been robbed.
Happy birthday, Deena!
but I wouldn't pitch a fit if Jilli came home with one for $16. Any raising of the decimal point however... NSM.
Gnnng. I doubt even my mad thrifting skills would be able to turn up the batty lamp for $16.
Yup, I know, so I never have to see it in our house.
Bloody ugly thing.
(am suddenly struck with the urge to build a batty lamp).
Thanks Pete and Jilli.
I should be in bed, but the dog needed to go out and tomorrow is garbage pick-up day and my meds were on my desk... temptingly near the keyboard.
Edit: really going to bed now, but Jilli, look at this! [link]
Oh, now
that's
adorable. And not pricey!
(pssst...HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, DEENA!)
Happy Belated Birthday, Deena!
Happy Belated Birthday, Deena!
The internet is
extremely
expensive on this ship, so I will only be popping in briefly each day to check my email. ND and I will be dark gray all week. We're having a good time so far, though we're both working (I've had to dart online, download the online class forums for one student, log off, read and respond to that student, log on, send feedback email, download the next student, log off, lather, rinse repeat). Hugs and hairpats to all.
