Hey y'all - just dropped by before getting to bed, got a flu shot Monday and, for the first time, had a fluish reaction to the shot! Plus I gotta see my oncologist tomorrow morning so I'm kinda stressed over that. But I did want to say "hi" to y'all and hope you all have a great evening/early morning and that I get the chance to see you all down the road!
Good night, all. Oh, yeah, thanks Typepad - THIS IS REALWEST!!
Hey THANK YOU PBJ - just listened to that Helen Thomas video clip - no wonder Sage thinks she's hot! Also noticed a number of other clips there and have to see the Obama Puts Down Helen Thomas YouTube clip as well!
Hey Pi Guy - that was an impressive array of drinks you provided (although reading it didn't do my fluish stomach much good, but one question for ya big fella, shouldn't it be "Alexander the Grrreat = Gin, creme de cacao, and sweet cream over Wheaties" instead of Corn Flakes -I was raised to believe that Wheaties is the breakfast of Champions! LOL!
RW, I saw something about the Obama putting down Helen too but You Tube was kinda flashing videos in front of me like a slide show so didn't catch it. Will look for it.
I think I'll italicize it below her picture tomorrow! (Am I just being mean? Actually, PBJ showed me a side of Helen I didn't know existed up there - I almost liked her!)
PBJ, that is brutal, but I can't help laughing! I have tears in my eyes! That poor woman...oh my.
You know, I gotta say this for her - she's brave, in this world, being in such a high profile position. It can't be easy having your appearance ridiculed all the time. It really cannot.
But O. M. G. - that apple thing...LMAO (I hope no one ever does that to me! It won't be long before they can!)
OMG I am probably the oldest person on this blog. I just haven't seen my apple doll yet. LOL
Poor Helen, she didn't get any good genes in the looks department. Bless her heart, she really is brave. I really did like seeing her go against the new press secretary.
It does suck, having your appearance critiqued but I am not in to the plastic surgery for everything either, in fact I've never had anything. Grow old gracefully is what I say....I like my makeup, though.
You guys, I bought a pair of over-the-knee Stuart Weitzman boots at Nordstrom when they had triple points last week or so. THEY CAME TODAY. (These are flat - I have some S/W thigh high boots in suede, too, with a heel.)
The ones I got today are smooth black leather - buttery soft smooth, though. My suede Stuart Weitzman (with the heel) boots are black, and I have a black pair of knee-high S/W's in suede too.
I like boots. LOL
(I got a pair of Paul Green taupe sort of cowboy boots, too, recently...they have little embossed stars around the top. They are so comfortable and cool looking.)
Ugh. I could go on and on. I must have thirty pair. I am so bad.
Q3 Cable Ratings: FNC Shows Fill Top 10; #3 Network on Cable; Beck Grows Timeslot 136%
If you've been following the cable news ratings, and we know you have, you'll know Fox News has been dominating, even more than usual, in 2009. In the just-finished third quarter, Fox News beat CNN and MSNBC combined in Total Viewers and the A25-54 demo in both total day and primetime viewing. FNC is also the only cable news network to post across the board gains vs. Q3 '08.
• In Total Viewers, FNC was up 2% in primetime and up 8% in total day.
• In A25-54 viewers, FNC was up 5% in primetime and up 12% in total day.
• FNC was the third-ranked cable network behind ESPN and USA.
• FNC had the top 10 programs in cable news. "The O'Reilly Factor" has been the #1 cable news show for 106 consecutive months. From 4pmET to 11pmET, all of FNC's programs showed growth, most double digits:
And for the month of September, FNC claimed the Top 13 programs in cable news in Total Viewers, which hasn't happened since Nov. 2004. It was the network's best month for the year in today day with Total Viewers and A25-54 viewers. Also, "America's Newsroom" (9-11amET) with Megyn Kelly and Bill Hemmer had its highest rated month (and quarter) in A25-54 viewers.
Well you two, I think I might actually try to go to bed like a normal person tonight! Have a great fruit cup, and feel free to close this one down when you move up there.
I've always been under the impression that whenever US troops are in combat, that is the most important thing on the Commander-in-Chief's daily agenda.
I suppose it could be slightly worse, the Great Zero could be pulling an LBJ. LBJ was no military man and had no business micro-managing, but at least he had some basic grasp of strategic fundamentals that he was screwing up.
The Great Zero is attempting to vote "present" on the war, or get somebody else to write a letter, term paper, or opinion piece to cover his lack of basic ability.
"Last week, US military and intelligence officials told me that an expansion of the US air campaign into Baluchistan would likely lead to an internal revolt in the Pakistani military. General Kiyani knows the impact a wide-reaching US air campaign would have on his military."
There is also the highly likely possibility of a seperatist internal revolution within Pakistan's Balochistan province (where Quetta is).
I wonder if any of that is part of the impending review of the committee finding forwarded by the select board from Tanzania, Qoraqalpogiston, and Iceland?
Just wait until they figure out that they cannot evacuate the way we did from Vietnam. The ocean is too far away. And there aren't enough carriers, helicopters, and/or transport aircraft available anyway. That budget cutting thing, ya'know?
A woman who truly earned the first 3 letters of her name.

Hi there Realwest. Best of luck tomorrow! Sweet dreams and thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteGreat drinks, Pi Man, LOL. I heard somewhere they have bacon flavored Vodka how, kid you not. We need to come up with a drink for that.
ReplyDeleteHey THANK YOU PBJ - just listened to that Helen Thomas video clip - no wonder Sage thinks she's hot!

Bacon-flavored vodka? How about we call it a Yeltsin?
Hey Pi Guy - that was an impressive array of drinks you provided (although reading it didn't do my fluish stomach much good, but one question for ya big fella, shouldn't it be
ReplyDelete"Alexander the Grrreat = Gin, creme de cacao, and sweet cream over Wheaties" instead of Corn Flakes -I was raised to believe that Wheaties is the breakfast of Champions! LOL!
Yeltsin, LOL, sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteRW, I saw something about the Obama putting down Helen too but You Tube was kinda flashing videos in front of me like a slide show so didn't catch it. Will look for it.
ReplyDeleteHahaha - Pi, we should have you tending bar in there!
ReplyDeleteWe have an opening for a barista, by the way, if you guys know anyone who can pull a mean shot. : )
Where is Desert Sage. I found another hot picture of Helen.
ReplyDeleteSame old link, sorry, meant to post this.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm going to head on out for the night.
ReplyDeleteGood night, all!
Night Vegas. Always good to see you.
ReplyDeleteBoy, we have really slowed to a crawl here. I stopped for a while to a couple of chores, and everybody is asleep!
ReplyDeleteNope. :-(
ReplyDelete/Insomnimaniacs 'R Us™
YAY!!!! It's lol!! (I love your 'initials'.)
ReplyDeleteSo...did that picture up there frighten you at all?
ReplyDeleteWhat's a few more gray hairs among friends? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey there Lol, I am fading fast here. Great to see you.
ReplyDeleteWe don't talk about grey hairs either. You are a "mere child" compared to me.
ReplyDeleteHowdy PBJ! :-)
ReplyDelete/...like sheeps in the night
I zonked early so I missed a lot last night.
I AM?! No way!
ReplyDeleteHey! I thought *I* was your ship in the night!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, if I'd known then what I know now...I would have invested in Clairol a LONG time ago! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am the "new" 41 but I am not a cougar.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone, I've been doing things too.
ReplyDeleteI think the picture of Helen scared everyone off.
You wanna be a ship? Be a ship!
ReplyDeletePINK! :-)
Too old to be a cougar. LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah, who knew 40 would be "the good old days"?!
ReplyDelete/although my mother warned me... ;-)
Our moms knew what was happening.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter thinks the whole concept of "cougar" is disgusting. LOL!
ReplyDelete/"ewww!"
I want to be the Eldridge.
ReplyDeleteEldridge?
ReplyDeletePinkie, if your theory about Helen's picture is right, I guess we can always whip this one out if we really want to slow things down.
ReplyDelete"The face that closed a thousand browsers."
I really wish Sage was here. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have an idea for tomorrow's Official Desert Sage Late Night Helen Thomas Tribute Open Thread.
Well, I will say that opening up the site - sans coffee - was just a tad ....JARRING!
ReplyDelete[shudder!]
(It's the Philadelphia Experiment ship ...would be interesting.)
ReplyDelete"The face that closed a thousand browsers." ROFL!
Oh. What a memory, Pink!
ReplyDelete/ah, to be young again... ;-)
I just made that up! : )
ReplyDeleteI think I'll italicize it below her picture tomorrow! (Am I just being mean? Actually, PBJ showed me a side of Helen I didn't know existed up there - I almost liked her!)
I didn't even know she wore lipstick!
ReplyDeleteLOL CC, you did get the "hottest" picture of her. I even googled "Helen Thomas sexy" and all I got was that little hula dance picture.
ReplyDeleteThere's a hula dance picture? Do I want to see it?
ReplyDelete"Helen Thomas witch" gets a lot more google results.
ReplyDelete.....I was just thinking about possible Halloween costumes.
The hula thing is not that great.
ReplyDeleteOnly if you like animated .gifs ;-)
ReplyDeleteOMG, I love this one!
ReplyDeleteHere is an interesting doll
ReplyDeleteROTFL!
ReplyDelete/poor Helen!
ROTFL!
Okay, I found the hula thing. I think Sage might dig it. ; )
ReplyDeleteHe might like that Hula thing, who knows? ;-)
ReplyDeletePBJ, that is brutal, but I can't help laughing! I have tears in my eyes! That poor woman...oh my.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I gotta say this for her - she's brave, in this world, being in such a high profile position. It can't be easy having your appearance ridiculed all the time. It really cannot.
But O. M. G. - that apple thing...LMAO (I hope no one ever does that to me! It won't be long before they can!)
I was just thinking that it's a very good thing I keep a low profile!
ReplyDeleteOMG I am probably the oldest person on this blog. I just haven't seen my apple doll yet. LOL
ReplyDeletePoor Helen, she didn't get any good genes in the looks department. Bless her heart, she really is brave. I really did like seeing her go against the new press secretary.
It's no fun having your appearance critiqued constantly - my business sucks that way, but mostly for women. Guys can look like Quasimodo.
ReplyDeleteMe too, PBJ. For a second I forgot about all the obnoxious stuff she's done!
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to The Shrink? Did she fall asleep at her computer? : )
ReplyDeleteOh SHRRRRRRIIIIIIINK!!!! SHRINKY!!!
I don't WANT to see my apple doll! :-(
ReplyDeleteIt does suck, having your appearance critiqued but I am not in to the plastic surgery for everything either, in fact I've never had anything. Grow old gracefully is what I say....I like my makeup, though.
ReplyDeleteWhat what what! I was cleaning the kitchen! :-)
ReplyDeleteIf'n I had the money I would do the plastic surgery.
ReplyDelete/if'n I wasn't scared of surgery! ;-)
I should probably hit the hay, took a Benadryl about an hour ago for my allergies. Maybe I will sleep tonight. Love you all.
ReplyDeleteLoL, can you save me a couple of pieces of fruit with the antioxidants please?
I like makeup too!
ReplyDeleteYou guys, I bought a pair of over-the-knee Stuart Weitzman boots at Nordstrom when they had triple points last week or so. THEY CAME TODAY. (These are flat - I have some S/W thigh high boots in suede, too, with a heel.)
I am a bad, bad kitteh. : )
PBJ, good night!! We love you too!! You are so great.
ReplyDeleteWow, C2! Good for you! What color suede?
ReplyDeletegoodnight, PBJ!
ReplyDeleteGot to get some new boots.
ReplyDeleteNite!
Okay, Pinkie. You just went *poof* and I got scared. : )
ReplyDeleteGoodnight, PBJ! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll save you some blueberries...only because I like you so much! ;-)
Yeah...at our age *p00f*! IS scary! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe ones I got today are smooth black leather - buttery soft smooth, though. My suede Stuart Weitzman (with the heel) boots are black, and I have a black pair of knee-high S/W's in suede too.
