'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I wish my nephews were still small enough to delight with that sort of thing, but there are two in high school and two in college, and even the niece is getting too old for dolls.
(I looked into black market drugs to slow their aging but no luck, damn it.)
Our local snow plower dude (he's the local jack-of-all-trades) saw me floundering in the driveway with the snow thrower. He told me he noticed Christopher's truck wasn't here and our driveway wasn't plowed so he offered to do it for me for $15. Gave him $20. Worth every penny.
WOOT! Gotta love that, Cash.
My feet are COLD. I do not want.
And apparently, he withdrew funding for a new Cubs stadium when the Trib refused to go along.
There's going to be a news conference at 11 central.
brenda, those shenanigans are amusing me to no end, although it should make me sad that people are so dumb.
Worth every penny.
When I lived in Buffalo, the housemates and I always contracted with a local guy, and waking to the sound of the plow scraping the driveway clean at 5 a.m. was a small bit of heaven knowing we didn't have to get out of bed to shovel ourselves out to get to an 8 a.m. class.
msbelle, thanks so much for the book advice. I'm passing it all along today.
I have to say -- how stupid is the Illinois governor? Assuming the charges are true, of course. Conspiring to profit from appointing someone to Obama's senate seat? Sure, no one will be watching *that* closely.
And it's not like the guy hasn't been under investigation for yonks as it is. Sriously, Sarah Palin would have backed away from this one.
Oh, and it's true - they've got some crazy tape recordings.
I was listening to the "Breaking News" on WGN radio this morning. Blagoyevich was really stupid, since the wiretapping was put in place on October 29th, and he's been under open investigation for long before then on other issues. The idea that he was openly soliciting bribes for the Senate seat, and saying on the wired phone that if he didn't get what he wanted, he'd put himself in as Senator, just burns me to no end.
Also, he actually thought that he had a chance at a presidential run in 2016!!!
