November

From Yahoo News....

 

For the second time in just over a week, Fox News is coming under fire for misusing old news footage. The latest flap is leading some people to charge that the cable news network is intentionally misleading its audience, while Fox claims a "production error."

Wednesday's incident occurred when Fox News host Gregg Jarrett mentioned that a Sarah Palin appearance and book signing in Grand Rapids, Michigan had a massive turnout. As footage rolled of a smiling and waving Palin amidst a throng of fans, Jarrett noted that the former Republican vice-presidential candidate is "continuing to draw huge crowds while she's promoting her brand-new book,'' adding that the images being shown were "some of the pictures just coming in to us.... The lines earlier had formed this morning."

However, the video used in the segment was from a 2008 McCain/Palin campaign rally. In response to the minor uproar that arose after clips of Jarrett's report hit the Internet, Fox senior vice-president of news Michael Clemente issued an initial statement saying, "This was a production error in which the copy editor changed a script and didn't alert the control room to update the video."

The sore throat has toned down to an ugly scratching, and the sinuses are at a dull roar. I am drugged up, so I guess I can make it to work today.

I just wanted to say that I am here on the computer this morning, but like a good little addict I am not even going to LOOK at Facebarf.

My brain feels better already. :D

I got away from Facebook before my surgery. Then after I was home a couple of weeks the magnetism of the computer lured me over and I started FBing just to see what my kids and family were up to. THEN those damn farm games started giving out Halloween decorations.....well...everyone KNOWS I can't resist HalloWEEN decorations!!!

THEN I started my own island on Paradise Island. Wait, I think it's called Island Paradise. Whatever. You get the idea. You plow land and plant seeds on a tiny island while you hear the sound of waves and the cry of seagulls. It's so peaceful. And the aminals are so cute.......

But.....the great Time Suck of Facebook is pulling me in again. I am trying to keep up my farm on Farm Town, in Farmville and my island.

It's SO ridiculous!!!

I mean, a little of it is fine....relaxation in front of the tv or computer....whichever....no difference....but, I can feel Facebook's greedy claws in my back and I need to ration myself or it's going to swallow my SOUL!!!

I left work three hours early today cuz I had a horrible sore throat and chills and felt like crap. I came home and slept like a rock for hours and hours. I am feeling better tonight and I sure hope I still feel good tomorrow cuz I have to work the next four days. Bleeeeergh!!!

Anyhoo....I mees you guys when I am working a ton and then wasting my life on Facebook.

I comed back naow to get some friendship and peace and clear my mind!!!!!   

I did it! I did it!
I got great seats at the U2 concert at Spartan Stadium June 30, 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.....is it June yet?

.....how about now?

I SO screwed up that post. I had it all set and then I deleted it. Pooh.

Well, let me summarize. We had a great weekend. Family got together for dinner to celebrate mom's 76th birthday. Nephew and nieces played in our leaves in the front yard. Heap big fun!

I have to get online to buy U2 tickets for their concert in Spartan Stadium next June 30th!!! Presale starts tonight!! Nothing like planning ahead! ;)

Leaf monsteres emerge from the pile....

It looks like a perfect day! Starting out at 50 degrees and sunny! November has turned out to be just lovely!
I'm off to physical therapy...can't wait til this is done. It's not difficult or painful or anything...just an hour three times a week that is rather inconvenient and intrusive. But, all for a good cause....Mobile Toes R Us!

I am having Mom, Dad, sis and three kids, brother and nephew, over tomorrow for Mom's birthday dinner.

So after PT it's to the grocery store. Then a quick clean up of the house. Hopefully I'll see sis and kids tonight...depends on how long it takes them to get here from Chicago!

Ok...time to get a move on! Y'all have a nice weekend!

Oh my....here are some videos of dogs greeting their masters who have been gone for months in Iraq or Afghanistan.

I am sobbing by the time I see this last one. Don't tell me that animals don't have "opinions" or "emotions". WOW.

I'm putting it out here now...even though it's only November...
I mean if you can listen to Christmas music in Walmart in October...you will LOVE this!

Silent Monks "sing" the Hallelujah Chorus....

Just when I needed it! LOL!

Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns....

"Dear John

I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching TV.
My car started stalling and then it broke down about a mile down the road and I had to walk back to get my husband's help. When I got home, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor's daughter!

I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor's daughter is 19. We have been married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I am a wreck and need advice urgently. Can you please help?

Sincerely, Sheila

Dear Sheila:

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine.  Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.

I hope this helps,
John

My first day back at work went just fine. My foot and leg got tired...but that was all. No pain....it was like falling off a bike....you never forget how.
Then I had an appointment with foot doc. All is perfect. Yay.
NOW  I am waiting for some dewd to come clean my furnace. I hate having strangers in the house and I hate waiting for them to show up. Oh well....at least the furnace will be clean after tonight. Gaaaaah. The dogs are going insane.

Ok, Hubby is home now, so he can feed the dogs and I can deal with furnace cleaner.

It's been really dark all day...warm...but I never got outside so all I saw was gray and dark. Blah!

I am super grumpy, my jeans are too tight.

I think I should go to bed ASAP tonight! :)
