Sorry... I want to be more active in helping to TOP the end of America.... but with my work and all of my 3 part time jobs to add on..... I don't have the time toi keep up with all of the information that is flowing through here... or any other trustworthy blog... it is so frustrating...

My Brit friend made a comment on how my apartment went to a sty in the last 3 months... all I could tell him is that whenever I have free time (not at work), I am online, trying to catch up on what is going on.... also told him that my apt. would be clean enough to bring a date (female, of course) over after the elections were finished...

My floors are so bad that I've taken to keeping the shades down. Thought that I might bring the leaf blower in and blast it all out the door. That would be fast and I could get back to the work of stopping the traitor.

I think after the election is over and Dubya is reelected we will all need to sleep for a month. Then we will all need to grab a chisel and start cleaning our homes.

I think a lot of us are letting other things go, because this is so important. Other than UFC and Stolen Valor, I haven't read any books lately. I don't watch much TV any more. Forget the hobbies! I have managed to keep the lawn mowed, because I do need some physical activity. Only two more weeks until the election. Then, regardless of the outcome, though I certainly hope and believe JK won't make it, we can relax, catch up on sleep, and get the chores done. We're almost there! I've never gotten involved in politics before; now have two yard signs; two bumper stickers on my car; have made four large (for me) donations to the Swiftees; I'm mostly on the computer. Only two more weeks to go! Whew! Very Happy

I haven't even cleaned my bird's cages in a month or more. My web sites all need maintenance. I haven't called my mother but once in the last month. I haven't done anything in art or crafts design since about February.

To have a victory party, I will have to rent a hotel meeting room, because I sure as heqq don't want anyone to see my house! Chisel? HA! Rake and shovel is more like it. Very Happy

But, it's about to all be worth it.

I'm with ya guys, my house is dirty, but the kid is clean. Hubby is outside working and when I hear him coming I grab a broom. Actually went for groceries today and had my Bush/Cheney button on and a Hispanic lady came up to me and said she was voting for the first time. She told me her son is in Iraq and she wants Bush and wanted me to help her know where to go to the polls at. She told me that other man running is scary and can't trust him with my son. So I guess if you actually get to go somewhere good things happen. I have converted a couple people while tearing myself away. LANDSLIDE!

Today we had the carpets cleaned, became white tornados with every cleaning instrument known to mankind, and even did the windows.
In the interest of full disclosure the previous sentence does not apply to our entire home. We worked on a vacant 2x2 apartment on the second floor. And all that labor was because Bunny (wife) is hosting a group of women to “discuss politics” She is practicing her “talking points” like a pro. I attempted to help her by making a few points of my own but she said I shouldn't talk to women with that kind of language.

I don’t know if my role is Sergeant-at-Arms, look for a place to hide, or flee for my life. Bunny is a misnomer for such a bold woman.

Sam - For your own well-being, head for your nearest watering hole until the confab is over. Good luck!

Sheee-ewe....I have worn a 'mouse pad' callus on my right outer wrist from this election...

Headline Nov 3 2004:

Quote:
"Kerry Oval Office Hopes killed by 10,000 mice..."
Candidate had declared mice "only a nuisance".
States they "moved too Swiftly"....


Another headline:

November 3 2004

Quote:
"Kerry reported MIA. Believed held POW by 10,000 Mice"
Moving Swiftly, Mice Capture Presidential Hopeful
Negotiations with Mice for information stalled...
rumored to be resumed in 2036

The goldfish in my pond died yesterday (major kill). It was too cold outside. Funny, it's warm enough at my computer? When did fall arrive anyway?

Glad to be in good (if not clean) company. And I have an office to get open. I have also asked in prayer that they didn't finish this week so I could finish this. I will have to shift gears and get into professional life again. But at least now until the election I will be moving things and organizing rather than networking and seeing patients. see it all works out.
the house? Between total neglect and the delivery of rugs, furniture, computers, equipment, I am in a warehouse!
The most important thing is this election. Pray for President Bush tonight. CTW

Never Ever Kerry
