Have you voted in all the elections, and/or referendums, for which you were eligible? Those of you that still drive, have the option of voting by absentee ballot, so there are really no excuses for not participating. BTW, I mean ALL elections: local, state and federal. If you didn't vote...

I doubt that local results can be extended beyond our city/county borders, but... 24,000 voted early 5% more than '08 51%-Democrat 32%-Republican 17%-Unaffiliated (figures from Charlotte Observer and Board of Elections)

Will truck stops become strangely quiet, since their patrons won't be able to spout their vitriol, that they consider "humor"? We all know a coworker that slips inappropriate jokes into the conversation here and there. So now that President Obama has signed an updated hate crime bill...

Anyone have an opinion on this new OS?

Picture?..........

A census worker was found in KY, the victim of a hanging. The letters FED scrawled on his chest. So, I guess all of the retoric(sp) regarding the upcoming census has claimed it's first victim.

I can't do links, but AP is reporting that Calley has apologized, before a Kiwanis group, for his participation in the infamous Mi Lai massacre. No matter what your feelings are/were, regarding Viet Nam, this had to be a horrible burden to bear for over forty years. Mike

My famiily, and I, were supposed to leave for the SC coast tomorrow morning. But, as you know, I've been in the hospital since Monday. My pulmonologist now says it will probably be Tuesday before I get out. I'm starting to think I might be sick!! You folks have a good and prosperous...

Sorry guys, I've got to call time out. Went to the Pulmo this morning and he is sending to the hospital for a few days with "a nasty bronchial infection". IV antibiotics, IV steroids & breathing treatments every 4 hrs. Be back soon. No wonder I was so "ill" this week-end? Mike

As most of you know, I have Emphysema, a progressive lung disease, that will eventually result in my death. From what I am reading here, and seeing from the anti-health care reform folks, is that at some point in the not to distant future, my Pulmonologist will be "forced" to discontinue my...

Tomorrow afternoon, I will be working on the paperwork, with a geneaologist, in order to become a member of the SAR. I am fortunate to have ancestors on both my parents sides that fought in the American Revolution. A source of pride, in my family. This apple didn't fall far from the tree...

So much for the Michigan State rescue plan. They were dismantled by the Tar Heels from the opening tip-off. "I'm a Tar Heel born, I'm a Tar Heel bred. And when I die, I'll be a Tar Heel dead!". Sell your snow blowers, snow mobiles, and snow shovels and come on down to Gods' country. Mike

I request that my thread, Stop Smoking Now, be locked. I meant for it to lead to a discuusion about pros/cons of smoking/not smoking. It was not meant as a forum for property rights advocates to argue. I was trying to share what some of you have to look forward too, should you choose to...

Last Thanksgiving week I posted about being hospitalized with complications from COPD; a lung disease caused by smoking(90%). At that time, I suggested that stopping smoking might be a ggod idea(Ya' think?). Well, here we go again!! Went to my pulmonolgist yesterday(Tuesday), &, just like...
