I'll talk to ya'll later, I still have to go check on my parents and it was a long night. I'm pooped out, ready for some groceries, and a good sleep. This 'puter caught some kind of bug again so the wife is going to take it to someone to erase whatever, re-install whatever, and get the damn thing working right again. I may be off for a couple of days but as soon as I get this flu ridden piece of junk back I'll holler at everyone. Everyone have a great day and be carefull if you have to get out.

We only got about a half inch but it is wet and all the highways on the east side of the state are skating rinks right now. I hope the highway department gets them salted and cleared before I go go work tonight or I will have to leave about 8 to get there on time. (1 hr ago | post #6955)
A football team, like any other sports team, with one more game to play is like a tired old farmer with one more hog to slop. You just gotta get out and do it. (1 hr ago | post #6954)
Good morning everyone, we got snow!! And we got "lighting snow" this about 7 this morning. Pretty weird watching the snow come down with lightning and thunder in the sky. Then it turned to ice, it took me and hour and 45 minutes to get home from work this morning and normally it is a 40 minute drive. Highway 84 south of Santa Rosa is slicker than the inside of a pretty womans thigh right now<G>. We also had the freezing fog last night and now we got wind. I mean 30, 40 mph winds so what snow we have is now heading southeast at a high rate of speed. Or is it due east, maybe a little northeast, it's hard to tell! (1 hr ago | post #6952)
Can you believe the Vikings game? I have been thinking the Saints and Vikings in the post season, they do not play in the regular season, may be the game of the year. It may still be but I could not believe the Vikings lost so bad yesterday. Oh, and I think the Who Dats, dem New Orleans Saints is who, are Superbowl contenders this year! At least I can wear my Saints jacket around town with a little pride this year<G>. (Yesterday | post #6938)
Lol....I didn't hear a word from my Cowgirl or Steeler buddies this morning. They usually come by the store for coffee and bragging rights on Monday morning and not one showed up today<G>. (Yesterday | post #6937)
I gotta disagree with you on the blown call Daniel. DVR is a wonderfull thing, go, stop, slow, over and over again, and I really think it was the right call. What amazed me was Suisham missing a 23 yard fieldgoal. That was an easy chip-shot for him and I bet he has been catching all kinds of crap since. I kinda feel sorry for the guy.

I won't say the Saints played a bad game. I will say the Redskins played better than anyone expected them to. How else do you explain them holding a team known for such a balanced offence to less than 60 yards rushing? I kept screaming at the boobtube, QUIT trying to run the ball, the 'Skins got your number! Like the commentators said, Washington knew they had to keep Brees off of the field and they did a good job of it because the Saints kept trying to balance the running and passing game when it clearly was not working. Minus one yard rushing at the end of the first quarter and they still tried running instead of letting Brees do what he does best? My boys pulled the win out of their a** and I'll take it. Like Brees said after the game, it had to be karma or something because they should have lost. And, I won't be calling your guys the "Redskinnies " anymore this year. They played a hell of a game yesterday. (Yesterday | post #6933)
My name is Jeromimo and if you had read all my post you would have noticed that I also included Mohammed and Abdul ben-Amad, or whatever. And THAT is the problem with letting people that are not American citizens have a drivers license. Since only AMERICAN CITIZENS can get a passport it helps insure our safety if we have to fly anywhere because you don't know who you are flying with if you have an Oregon or New Mexico drivers license anymore.

You are about as uneducated as fmer505. Now you are talking about MY heritage and we did not come from Mexico, we came from Spain. We may have come through Mexico to get here, and maybe a few stayed. But that is like saying my cousin, fifth removed, has a right to be here illegally because I am here legally. Which is nonsense. (Yesterday | post #36)
Are you really that blind? They pay the minimum possible to get an insurance card so they can register their vehicle then let it drop. If they don't get stopped for the next year, no problemo. If they do get into a serious wreck they haul buns back to Mexico and come back with a different name within a month. (Yesterday | post #35)
Debate grows over Hispanic Education Act (1:59 p.m.)
I am glad you found a good life in America and I praise your efforts in teaching your children the importance of being an American and remembering their roots at the same time. I was raised in norther New Mexico and the Spanish spoken there closely resembles Castellano more than anything you hear anywhere south of Taos. You can imagine my suprise when we left the mountains and moved to Albuquerque as a young teen when I could not understand half of the "Spanish " being used there. (Sunday | post #61)
I'll see ya'll after the game. Go Saints!! 12 and 0 baby!!! (Sunday | post #6922)
I appreciate the recipe and will pass it on. The next time I make it I will try the extra citrus, let you know how much extra, and how it comes out. (Sunday | post #6921)
Amen to that CD. When I went in I was young, full of vinegar and pride, and did not like taking orders from anyone. During bootcamp and training afterward I learned the value of following orders immediately, without question. If we didn't, someone may get killed, or all of our team would. I then spent my career after the service doing the same thing. You look at the problem, then do something about it. Overthinking or talking about what may or may not go wrong does not get anything done. You have to think fast, think on your feet, then move. Hesitation back then could get you or your buddies killed, hesitation in my career slows things down, costing money, and could get you fired. (Sunday | post #6920)
