Ruff times on the old busline!

Just another thread to bring out those who like to make lots of comments against the administration….the same comments over and over again…since before the election…the tone hasn’t changed and the words haven’t either.  But lots of posts bring advertising money to the owners because every hit means jingle jingle in the pocket.

Phyllis…..I was just thinking that perhaps I need my glasses changed.  I didn’t read the same numbers related to Obama’s disapproval numbers as stated in this thread. The 10-21-09 approval rating numbers I read indicate the overall numbers went up to 57% of those who still continue to support his general positions.  Sure there may be segments within the numbers which are lower, but the overall is what counts.   I think some might be pulling out the lower numbers without documenting this is one section of what makes up the total approval poll numbers.  

Relative to the economy and the lack of improvement… I sure know that when my bank account goes down, it takes me quite a while to build up the numbers.  If some people have ideas that will make the economy magically get better in a short period of time I hope they tell the administration their thoughts…and,  I wonder if the same people have magic ways of fixing/building up my bank account in a matter of a few short months. 

 I loved that Obama’s appearance on David Letterman drew the largest audience in 4 years.  As President Obama eluded to, you can’t please everyone on all things all the time.  Just like a marriage….ups and downs every step of the way.

A couple of days ago while watching the television, the newscaster indicated only 20% of republicans still claim to be republicans which is a 26 year low according to some other web sites commenting on this 20% figure.    That is just astounding.  From reading the posts, I thought the number would be more like 50 or 60%  would claim to be republicans. 

Thanks for doing such great posts.

Above all, be a professional when asking…you have to work up to it.  Prior to asking, get to be known as a person of expertise.  Excell at everything. 

Always do your tasks with ease and efficiency. Don’t always take the road with the least amount of resistance, but be firm in your convictions.    Once this professionalism is accomplished you will be ready to ask for a raise or a promotion like a professional.

The answer may be no, but the boss might be impressed with your ability to overcome the typical fear of asking.  And before long you might not have to ask…it will just come for you.

I’ve had a lot of obstacles in life with marriage, health and other things, so I think "Long Road Home" fits me. Life’s not always fair and sometimes it takes longer to get "home" to a comfortable place.

Whadda ya mean I look like Al Capone’s daughter!

It’s the flu if you get germs by kissing or touching each other. It’s AIDS/HIV or a baby if you have sex without a raincoat. It’s accusation of being a slut if you do "it" on the first date.   Is it all right to ride in the same car on a date these days?

When I wear white, I’m the proverbial slob on wheels.

Only one has the right to judge Letterman. That’s God.  If Letterman did anything wrong, it won’t go unpunished. 

People who call him a deviate, a harrasser, a civil rights violator, scum, one who exercised his "power", or any other name posters used, this is wrong.  It’s none of your business.   I haven’t seen his current wife post a tirade of accusations anywhere with the media like some posters have done here nor has she called him names in the media.  And, he’s still working, so his employer must not think he did anything to violate laws.  Taking the liberty of judgement, when you don’t have the right to make the judgement, is certainly telling. 

These same posters re-phrased Margo’s words and made them into something they were not.  Accusations against Margo were made in some posts.  What in the world is wrong with people nowdays??

Oldsmobile….we have a 1970 442 oldsmobile which we bought in 1982.  It’s now worth thousands.  I loved the oldsmobile cars and I loved my Pontiac Bonneville.   I thought Eastern Airlines used to have the best coach class food.

Some more of my favorites, now gone:

L’eggs pantyhose

TAB cola (original diet coke)

Breeze

McDonald’s McRib Sandwiches

Bab-o cleanser

Vel and Fels Naptha Laundry detergents (I remember my mom shaving Fels Naptha from the bar)

Woolthworth’s Dime Store/Woolco

Ipana toothpaste

 

 

 

 

Is that pink shirt for me??? Did you forget, I’m a BOY!!!

That is one big nipple.  Ya mean I have to put it in my mouth?

#1…When you buy a bushel of apples, there are bound to be some rotten ones.  People automatically want to throw each rotten apple out and reach for the next one.  But because it’s a blood linked dad we’re talking about, it’s hard to toss him out.  He will be your dad forever whether you like it or not like it.

Most times it’s better to make applesauce with the good side of the apple, rather than toss it out completely.

I forgot to mention that the arrest and the foiled attempt to blow up the Springfield Illinois federal building wasn’t the working of Bush’s policies in Springfield.  It was an effort of the IBI, FBI, Springfield police and ISP.   I actually know some after-the-fact inside info on this living right in the heartland of Springfield Illinois.  Bush might have done a good job when 9-11 occurred, but he has left the building and left his papers, and, as computers need updating, so do procedures in curtailing terrorist actions.
