The unemployment rate (the real one) has been freaking me out for a while, but it's really been freaking me for the past 4 months.

76. I have to be rather careful about what I post here,
so as not to get the Mr. in trouble, but the cut out rates at our electrical cooperative have jumped 200% in the past 2 months, and he won't have meters pulled if the temps. are going to be 32 or below. :hug:

17. Hi, Truthseekers!
The family and the Maat Menagerie are doing fine. Last Saturday, we got a new bearded dragon lizard, and this guy is just thriving (a totally opposite situation from the we-now-know-sickly one from before). The furry ones are also doing well.

Hope all is well with you guys!

:grouphug:

I love all of Ralps' graphics except the one of the kitty tossing the little doggie up; that's just sad!

:cry:

HeeHee.

She named him "Merlin;" but we can nickname him Puff!

:hi: :hug:

We're doing OK thanks! How are you and the NJ gang? Smooches to Edie and the Boyz and great big kisses from the CA cuzzes. :hug: :hug:

Not quite outside yet..... argh..... my handyman couldn't come Saturday or Sunday to help with the netting. Hopefully Wednesday! We're almost there.

How are your client critters? Do you have doggies this week?

47. We're all hanging in there, thanks!
Edie and the boyz thank the cuzzes for the smooches and send them sniffs and head butts in return. The client critters are doing well. I have doggies and kitties this week and next week. This week's kitties are the 2x a day assignment and I'm already worn out. My sister loaned me her car. Tomorrow I'll probably be taking public transportation because it's supposed to snow (not much, but I don't like to drive in it). The good news is my new funky boots came today and they fit great!

I hope your handyman can come on Wednesday so the kitties can get their outside time! They've been very patient.

A friend of ours is selling us their 2002 Hyundai Sonata. We test drove it on Saturday and should probably have it in a couple of weeks. My schedule this week is slowing down the process a bit.

I hope that you thaw out soon. It snowed HARD here for 3 hrs. today, and it was freezing on the deck, the roads were slush, but it is clear now. We're supposed to be around 18 overnight. Enough! :hi: :hug: :fistbump:

41. Hey smokey nj!!
We had a great time, and Lucas and my MIL (now 82) had a good time. Charlie will be away on the day of his birthday, but he chose Valentine's Day (between his birthday and mine) to have his dinner, so we'll have everyone together then, and again on the 22nd for Cory. :bounce:

I hope that your weekend and weekend job went well. :hi: :hug:

The weekend job went ok. I couldn't find a parking space last night, I think every person who lives in Hoboken invited their out of town friends over for Super Bowl parties because there wasn't a legal spot to be found. I had to park in illegaly and make it a very quick visit.

I was watching the Puppy Bowl after everyone left, and waiting for Charlie to call to let me know that he'd arrived at MTSU safely, but I did take a break from the kitten halftime to watch The Boss in real time. Loved him and The E Street Band. :hug:

54. Cheney Dunk Tank Raises $800 Billion For Nation
WASHINGTON—Organizers reported Sunday that the 44th White House Carnival was a rousing success, raising a record $800,000,066,845 for the federal government—$800 billion of which came from a dunk tank featuring former vice president Dick Cheney. <snip>


"We expected a big turn out, but this is unbelievable," said Geithner, adding that it's tradition for the outgoing vice president to work the dunk tank. "More than half the country has already gone, and there's still about 20 million people stretching all the way to Maryland waiting for their chance to sink Cheney. We'll be leaving this booth open for as long as it takes for everyone to get a turn." <snip>

"All right, you candy arms, let's go," Cheney shouted at the line of people, which consisted of Americans, non-Americans, out-of-work autoworkers, teachers, luminaries from the science community, gays, lesbians, military personnel, members of Congress, children, and the entire Arab-American population. "Hey Blair. I see you back there. Think you'll be able to stop crying long enough to throw the ball?" <snip>

One contestant who struggled to hit the target was Sen. John Kerry (D-MA). After nearly 20 unsuccessful tries, several of which involved Kerry standing well ahead of the thrower's line, carnival officials finally allowed Kerry to just walk up and press the button with his hand. <snip>

79. Hi Truthseekers- interesting last caller- but I think Mike

didn't handled it quite well. He sounded like he could have been

Mike's show has been pretty good. I think more are coming
over to our side with the realities they face.
