My laptop has been OOC (out of commission) for several weeks now.  I think it was just before Christmas when the heat sink & fan died.  I bought one off eBay, but the frelling seller sent me something other than I ordered and I can no longer get a response from him… when I got [...]

This song is on a serious subject, but I find it funny.  Let me know what you think.  I found it on the Natural News website at http://www.naturalnews.com/I_Want_My_Bailout_Money.html I Want My Bailout Money by Michael Adams – The Health Ranger I’ll put it in a player tomorrow.  Hubby has already started watching In the Name [...]

Just a few notes tonight while I’m trying to wind down.  I haven’t been posting much, but that’s partially the joy and pain of having a newborn around.  I’ve also been swamped between writing assignments for the company I write for and going back to work.  And my laptop has been down for the count, [...]

Just a note before I start with today’s entry, I’m aware that thewoodedglen.com is down.  I should be able to get it fixed tomorrow.   So when I opened my Yahoo! email last night, I saw that the Fed (namely Paulson) is against a bailout for the automakers.  Honestly, this makes me crabby.  It was so [...]

Email from OK Senator Coburn (Opens in a new window) Well, after several weeks, I got an answer from OK Senator Tom Coburn about the bailout bill.  Jim Inhofe, who is the Republican incumbent for the senate has a political ad saying that he voted against the bill (of course the ad is attacking the guy [...]

 A dear friend of mine asked me to post again because he didn’t like the story about breastmilk in Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Hehe  So it looks like they may have passed a bailout bill finally.  They only had to work on it for about 1.5 weeks.  That’s not bad for our Congress, where everything has to be [...]

Ok, so my ex would have a fit about this one.  My son sent me the following link to a website that has excerpts from the Colbert Report.  http://www.hulu.com/watch/34640/the-colbert-report-the-word—how-dare-you His comment was that if he could vote, he’d vote democrat (he’s 17, so another year yet).  Considering his father is a die hard republican, I [...]

We’ve been seeing it coming.  All of the mortgage issues have compounded to where we don’t know what company is going to have problems next.  One of the political candidates finally admitted what the rest of us has known for awhile, our economy is in trouble.  But this isn’t really a political post.  McCain is [...]
