Many thanks for the birthday greetings. While I was reading Emily's post about Charlie Wilson's War, I could not help but think of the advice George Washing gave in his farewell address, to avoid foreign entanglements. We made a mistake in Afghanistan trying to remake that country into a western style democracy and then we repeated the mistake in Pakistan and Iraq. People in foreign countries have to make those decisions for themselves. It is much different from stopping a dictator like Hitler who poses a real threat to your nation and perhaps there are times when humanitarian idealism requires intervention in some poor nation like Uganda, Bosnia or Sudan. But we have no more right to impose our system on Iraq than we would have imposing it on Venezuela. Beware of foreign entanglements. Those are my words of wisdom for today. Love, Dad
HI Dad! Happy Birthday. Sorry I didn't call. Time slipped away from me and with the time difference it got too late. I'm sure you enjoyed the ND victory over UCONN.
So, what did you all think of the debate last night? I liked Bill Richardson, but he repeated himself too much. John Edwards bothered me, though at times he was the most passionate. I thought Hilary was the smartest. Barack was good, but didn't stand out. I would find it acceptable with any of them as the nominee, really. p
Happy Birthday Grandpa and Bon Voyage to you both! We had a nice party at Sarah's last night w/ Grandpa & Grandma, Joe3 and Mike. We gave him a cabana shirt in *hopes* of warm days. Joe3 gave him a lightweight jacket needed for cool nights as Pat has been reporting and golf balls that promise an amazing game! Oh and Granny gave him a very cool Bears golf shirt...we wouldn't want him to start routing for the Jupiter Warriors! Have fun, enjoy awesome seafood and we'll see you soon! :-)
Hey, does anyone know what the price of the stock weas on the day that Mom and Dad gave it to us? I just want so I won't have to spend hours trying to figure it out in 2 years.
Ok you are right, however, when you sell the stock the basis is the price at which Dad and Mom received the stock at, not the price of the stock on the day we received it. So we dont' really need the price of the stock at Christmas at all.
So we need the price that Mom got it at. I think Dad mentioned something about getting that to us.
It's my understanding that you are taxed at the time of cashing it in and it's all figured out for you by the powers that be that issue you the check and then, you have that information to share with your accountant when she/he prepares your taxes. I think. :-)
Last night the long-time boyfriend of Brian's mom Patti died suddenly. He was a nice guy. Patti was concerned because she hadn't heard from him all day and he didn't show up for a family holiday dinner so she went over to his house and found him. He had Christmas cards for Brian and Molly and for Brian's brother Jay in his hand. Sad.
I feel bad for Patti...he was a real gentleman...we were just talking about them at dinner last night... about that dinner...Lisa and Randy hosted a birthday/goodbye party for Dad and Mom last night...the lamb was delicious (as was all the food!) and their house is very cool, congratulations!
I went down Sat. and had dinner with Caitlin, and Mike drove Mom and Dad down yesterday...they are on the plane right now!
Have you heard??? Tom Cruise believes that his baby girl Suri is a "vessel" for L. Ron Hubbard. Katie Holmes was artificially inseminated with Hubbard's you know what, and Suri was conceived!
Yes...chamber meeting in the EMS room at the hospital...weird place for a breakfast meeting, plus a 7a.m. start time (I was late)...so I had cold microwave breakfast pizza :-( I was in the right place 'cuz I felt sick! (I wonder what Vicky Mallory did with all the leftover pizza?)
"Have you heard??? Tom Cruise believes that his baby girl Suri is a "vessel" for L. Ron Hubbard. Katie Holmes was artificially inseminated with Hubbard's you know what, and Suri was conceived!
m.e."
MOM, WE ARE ALL VESSELS FOR L. RON HUBBARD. WELL, THOSE OF US WHO ARE DESCENDANTS OF ALIENS. MAYBE I GET IT FROM DAD.
Mom, how sad about Patti's boyfriend. How is Patti? And how are Catie and Mia taking it? And Molly and Brian, of course. My condolences to all of them. I guess I should call home more often.
Grace, and everyone, thanks for thinking of us. We're all still shocked. Catie seems unmoved yet curious, and Mia has no idea what's going on. Bill was a huge part of Patty's life, and her obvious best friend. We're very sad for her and will miss him too. There will be a private visitation on Saturday, then his ashes will be buried in Massechusettes (sp?) with his mother.
Saint Theresa's Prayer: May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
I was watching the cable news shows this AM and got sucked into a real P O S called the Glenn Beck Show that was just awful. Here, the day after Hillary rebounds, he's saying we can't have a crybaby for president. Did anyone see her cry? Talk about overblown. On a cynical note, remember when Romney got a big polling bump about 3 weeks ago when he got misty-eyed on camera a few weeks ago?
Here's an idea for a business: Get a hypnotist and, for $50 or so, offer to hypnotize people into thinking they're having a great time. A few hours later the hypnotist will wake you up and you'll have great fake memories.
She didn't even cry. She just got all teary-eyed and started blubbering about how politics gets in the way of the political process. I guess this won her the female vote in NH as all the women saw this an felt sorry for her and decided to vote for her.
I wonder if we are going to have a complete meltdown before Super Tuesday.
As you can tell - I have no love for the dragon lady.
Women polled as less sympathetic to Hillary's brief teary-eyed moment than men did. That's because women realize that tears are a totally natural reaction to stress and probably the reason women live longer than men. So the women weren't impressed either way by Hillary's moist eyes, while the men reacted with fear, hostility or misplaced sympathy. I don't really like Hillary, but I thought it was a natural moment and had no bearing on her strength, intelligence or smarts. She was disappointed, shocked and exhausted by the Iowa caucuses.
I just heard a funny story on NPR about some Irish bookies who were taking bets on the outcome of the whole primary season and, based on the reports after Iowa, just paid off some bettors who bet on Obama to take the whole thing. Boy, do they feel stupid. Although, that's who is going to win anyway, so no harm done.
Catie told me that when Brian told her about Bill, she felt numb but her legs were shaking.
I think it's degrading to think that people are willing to say that just because Hillary got just a bit of haze in her eyes women were willing to vote for her. Degrading to Hillary, degrading to all women. Degrading to those who think it.
Lisa, Monica...Cathy?...someone else??? Say, last Spring you donated some very nice items to be auctioned off at the food pantry fund raiser...which we never had. Those items are in the corner of our bedroom...whatcha want me to do with them? I would like to either give them back to y'all or use them as they are collecting a lot-o-dust just sitting there. Please, let me know...thanks!
Joe Biden did get teary eyed when talking about flying back from Iraq with dead marines on board. I don't think Hillary's tears were fake, I think she was just really tired.
Regarding Ms. Rodham, "The moment we moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls."
I think Hillary does pay close attention to polls and critically structures almost every word that comes from her mouth to sound intelligent and forceful, but I also think that is just in her nature. I am sure she has always been like that, and I know we all know people like that, too. They think a lot before they say something, and are very serious when they say it. The misty eyes weren't scripted though, that's jsut stupid. And with a woman like Hillary, you can probably bet she would be pretty embarrassed to cry or show that much emotion in public if she thought it made her look weak. It was a pure moment and real emotions she's showing as she becomes more comfortable (and tired) campaigning.
Hey, is everyone finished moving for a while? Maybe it's time for a new address/phone/email list. I have new numbers scattered on little scraps all over the place and can never find them. If people would post them (or email them to me at cathy52@cox.net) I'll make a new list. But don't send "it's the same as before," just write it out, lazybones.
It's eerily quiet at our house in the evenings now - no five or six phone calls a night, polling for political opinions, no young eager beavers knocking at the door...Iowa has gone off the radar.
Heard on the new: an Iowa couple, one Democrat other Republican, saved ALL their campaign brochures, etc, and put them on e-bay (package deal) and sold it for $220. (approx) !!!
Bill Richardson just dropped out. Now the democrats are left with nothing but losers. I'm taking any bets that the republicans will keep the White House.
Everyone~ Please, pray for my Mom. She went to the Doctor, today, to see about her rise in blood sugar, unexplained 5 pound weight loss and mild dizziness. Tomorrow, she will be having a catscan (sp?) to check for pancreatic (sp?) cancer. Thank you.
"Mia, what kind of birthday cake do you want?" Pause "I want a purple cake on a red square with roses, the little Mermaid, Dora, a picture of me in the middle of the side, a wedding bride and a flag."
Tomorrow our baby boy (Eli) is going, on a school field trip, to Okoboji at the Bridge Bay Resort Water Park...or, something like that. He'll leave at 8:30am and return at 3pm...on a school bus. Of course, there will be chaperones...but, he and all the other children will be left to run about...all day. We're sending him with $15 in a ziplock baggie, 3 bottles-o-Gatorade, plastic bag for wet clothes, change of clothes, cool swim trunks and a beach towel. Check, ckeck, check...I'm nervous. Bus. Water Park. Running amuck. Will he have fun w/ friends? Will he be safe? Will he miss the bus? Will he forget to go potty before they leave the resort? Sigh. I'm certain that we could fast forward two years and when Liam goes...I'll be cool...I hope. Hmm...this parenting gig can be weird.
Hey-that's the field trip I'm going on in 15 minutes! Hope it's fun. I'll prolly have to take $5 of Eli's money for protection. I've gotta lotta mazagines to read and also packed some work (ugh). I wonder what the lifeguards look like at an indoor water park in January? Nancy, you forgot the, oh well, too late now anyway.
Ohhhhhhh I'm glad that Joe3 is going...I knew he was trying to make it (Betty)...glad he'll be there...well worth the $5! Hope he makes sure that Eli goes potty...ha, ha. :-)
This may not be interesting...thought I would share...feel free to continue on to the next posting. Update on my Mom: My mother takes many meds/day for her diabetes, arthritis, cholestrol, blood pressure, fibromalaysia, thyroid...more? Anywhoot twice a day she takes a med called glyberide. Last night, while she was taking inventory of all her meds...she discovered that she hadn't been taking her glyberide for quite a while and unsure for how long. She phoned her internist, this morning, and they cancelled the catscan (sp?) and said they should wait a few weeks to see if that was the cause for her sugar numbers, suddenly, going crazy-high. My Mom takes 7 oral diabetic meds/day in addition to her insulin once a day. Sounds like my Mom's a wreck! Actually, she's quite healthy in many ways. Healthy weight. Never been a big drinker. Quit smoking 20 years ago. Takes two-2 mile walks/day. Maintains a high activity level. She takes very good care of herself and cannot believe that she has missed this med...oh well, not again I am sure. :-)
The coolest cake I ever had was one that my Aunt Barb made me. It was in the shape of a dome with a Barbie stuck in the top. She created the cake to look like a long, ruffly, soft green, flowing gown. It was perfect. :-)

Hey, does anyone know what the price of the stock weas on the day that Mom and Dad gave it to us? I just want so I won't have to spend hours trying to figure it out in 2 years.
I meant 20 years not two. I have no plans for it. I know it was in the mid 40's.
you can always look on wyeths website and find that info.

Happy birthday, Dad!
Mom and Dad are off to Florida today! Enjoy that weather!

Aren't we all going to need the prince of Wyeth on x-mas in order to declare it on our taxes?
So does anybody have it?
I don't think yah gotta declare it on your taxes...if you don't cash it in. Do yah?
Ok you are right, however, when you sell the stock the basis is the price at which Dad and Mom received the stock at, not the price of the stock on the day we received it. So we dont' really need the price of the stock at Christmas at all.

It's because they're weaker and have less endurance and you know it.
P.S. The warmer weather, this week, has me Spring cleaning. :-)
OK, I'm off to lead people to Jesus. Jesus wept, you know.
When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer.
But then, he was kind of a fancy-lad, and you know how emotional they get.
So did Mitt.
I still think the tears were planned...Hillary's (and maybe Jesus).
m.e.
"TEARS FOR FEARS" I just checked out their website...they look macho enough...what are they crying about? I mean they should just phone Dr.Phil!
m.e.
scratch that, the name of the band will be DegraNation. awesome. now i just have to learn to play an instrument.

I think Hillary does pay close attention to polls and critically structures almost every word that comes from her mouth to sound intelligent and forceful, but I also think that is just in her nature. I am sure she has always been like that, and I know we all know people like that, too. They think a lot before they say something, and are very serious when they say it.

And happy belated Birthday Gramps!
Frank you don't need an insrument, you're totally the front-man singer type, just hang some scarves from the mic stand, and you're set.
Hey, is everyone finished moving for a while? Maybe it's time for a new address/phone/email list. I have new numbers scattered on little scraps all over the place and can never find them. If people would post them (or email them to me at cathy52@cox.net) I'll make a new list. But don't send "it's the same as before," just write it out, lazybones.
thanks Cathy. i've sent my info to you.
Cathy...Emily and I will be buying in the next couple of months (maybe Ed, too)...just thought I'd mention it.
m.e.
Oh, I forgot about that. I will start a list and complete it when everyone's done moving around. So send your stuff, whoever's settled.
It's eerily quiet at our house in the evenings now - no five or six phone calls a night, polling for political opinions, no young eager beavers knocking at the door...Iowa has gone off the radar.

My company just hired Tony Blair to work for them. Can't wait to see him at the next employee meeting.
I'll ask him if Jack Staw is from Wichita.
Bill Richardson just dropped out. Now the democrats are left with nothing but losers. I'm taking any bets that the republicans will keep the White House.
Tom
You couldn't be more wrong, TOm. I'll take that bet. Obama is no loser, neither is HIllary for that matter.
Everyone~
Please, pray for my Mom. She went to the Doctor, today, to see about her rise in blood sugar, unexplained 5 pound weight loss and mild dizziness. Tomorrow, she will be having a catscan (sp?) to check for pancreatic (sp?) cancer.
Thank you.
So sorry Nance. Hope everything comes out OK. We'll pray for her tonite.
Monica
Nance, we're hoping for good news for your family!
"Mia, what kind of birthday cake do you want?"
Pause
"I want a purple cake on a red square with roses, the little Mermaid, Dora, a picture of me in the middle of the side, a wedding bride and a flag."
Why is it acceptable to list natural and artificial flavors as a food ingredient?
The undeniable question:
"Will she have what she desires?"
P.S. Thank you for your prayers.
Tomorrow our baby boy (Eli) is going, on a school field trip, to Okoboji at the Bridge Bay Resort Water Park...or, something like that. He'll leave at 8:30am and return at 3pm...on a school bus. Of course, there will be chaperones...but, he and all the other children will be left to run about...all day. We're sending him with $15 in a ziplock baggie, 3 bottles-o-Gatorade, plastic bag for wet clothes, change of clothes, cool swim trunks and a beach towel. Check, ckeck, check...I'm nervous. Bus. Water Park. Running amuck. Will he have fun w/ friends? Will he be safe? Will he miss the bus? Will he forget to go potty before they leave the resort? Sigh.
I'm certain that we could fast forward two years and when Liam goes...I'll be cool...I hope.
Hmm...this parenting gig can be weird.
I think I must make this cake just to see it for myself, but could such a cake ever be as good in person as in a two-year-old's imagination?
Also, that's the greatest field trip I've ever heard of.
you'll have to take a picture of that cake and post it for all to see its mighty splendor.
and i want to go on a field trip like that....
Hey-that's the field trip I'm going on in 15 minutes! Hope it's fun. I'll prolly have to take $5 of Eli's money for protection. I've gotta lotta mazagines to read and also packed some work (ugh). I wonder what the lifeguards look like at an indoor water park in January?
Nancy, you forgot the, oh well, too late now anyway.
Ohhhhhhh I'm glad that Joe3 is going...I knew he was trying to make it (Betty)...glad he'll be there...well worth the $5! Hope he makes sure that Eli goes potty...ha, ha. :-)
how old is Mia going to be?
Let us know what your mom's results are, nance.
p
This may not be interesting...thought I would share...feel free to continue on to the next posting.
Update on my Mom:
My mother takes many meds/day for her diabetes, arthritis, cholestrol, blood pressure, fibromalaysia, thyroid...more? Anywhoot twice a day she takes a med called glyberide. Last night, while she was taking inventory of all her meds...she discovered that she hadn't been taking her glyberide for quite a while and unsure for how long. She phoned her internist, this morning, and they cancelled the catscan (sp?) and said they should wait a few weeks to see if that was the cause for her sugar numbers, suddenly, going crazy-high. My Mom takes 7 oral diabetic meds/day in addition to her insulin once a day.
Sounds like my Mom's a wreck! Actually, she's quite healthy in many ways. Healthy weight. Never been a big drinker. Quit smoking 20 years ago. Takes two-2 mile walks/day. Maintains a high activity level. She takes very good care of herself and cannot believe that she has missed this med...oh well, not again I am sure. :-)
Well, that is the best possible diagnosis. Good, good.
P
Oh yes! I am so relieved and hopeful that this is, truly, the cause. Thank you, all, for your prayers and concern...I really appreciate it. :-)
Mia and Jude will be 3 on Febraury 17 and 18. So I guess we'll have to wait a while to see that cake.
The coolest cake I ever had was one that my Aunt Barb made me. It was in the shape of a dome with a Barbie stuck in the top. She created the cake to look like a long, ruffly, soft green, flowing gown. It was perfect. :-)
The coolest cake I ever had was my rice krispie wedding cake.
