I think I prefer the ice dancing to the figure skating. The ice dancing is prettier and there are no jumps. There are too many jumps and they are too hard in the figure skating. They should change the name to "ice jumping." The focus anymore is just on the jumps. The men do much better in the jumps. Their legs are more muscled.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-32101389339399133912012-01-28T18:53:48.056-06:002012-01-28T18:53:48.056-06:00I sympathize with your plumbing problems.

I don't want to get another one..get it put in..and still have it flip the breaker. <br /><br />I've consulted many different people and half say it's the HWH and half say it might be the wiring. Everything that could be a problem on either sides of the wires has been changed. None of my problems are ever simple ones. <br /><br />If it ends up being neither..I'll have to hire a ghost buster. There are other strange things going on over there.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-2276283370075721282012-01-28T18:46:57.099-06:002012-01-28T18:46:57.099-06:00I took care of the extra post Jan.

He's not as rich..is that better? <br /><br />Obama and Romney are both hypocritical. Obama is not quite as obvious about it as Romney is but you do have to look at Obama's actions..not his words. He's financed by the same people..they are going to finance both sides..cover all their bases.<br /><br />Obama has said one thing then did the other. He picked advisers from the wolf pack. Now he promises to take care of that. Yeah..do we really believe that? I'm not so quick to. <br /><br />So far..Obama does have Romney beat in the.. be humane to dogs.. department. I don't think Obama would strap Bo on the roof of his vehicle but we really don't know that?? <br /><br />Bo gets to fly when they go on vacation and there's plenty of room in the plane. And I'm sure Romney did think that Seamus was having a blast up on the roof of his station wagon.. in all that fresh air. At least they stopped and gave him a bath when he pooped himself. Small gesture even though he was now on the roof..in the wind..and wet. God..it's amazing how stupid humans are.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-79880230725537190752012-01-28T10:23:50.979-06:002012-01-28T10:23:50.979-06:00Short article but sums it up..

He's way too good of a choice to ever become a reality even though if people actually knew about him and his ideas..he'd very likely be very popular. Especially in this day and age. Even though it would be a long shot..it could be possible. <br /><br />Roemer calls himself a Republican but I can't figure out why. Obama calls himself a Democrat and I often wonder why. Those party labels are too deceiving. <br /><br />Roemer is as socially liberal as Obama is but his best issue is getting the corrupt money out of politics and I believe that is our biggest problem and there is no hope for ANY change until we do. We are just wasting lip service on the other issues. <br /><br />Even if that may be almost impossible to do..you have to start with a strong stance on that issue. And Roemer lives by his stance on that issue which none of the current candidates do. <br /><br />Roemer even might be a safer bet for the environment. In the SOTU speech..Obama was bragging about the technology used to get natural gas out of shale. He didn't mention fracking but I got the impression that that is what he was talking about. Roemer doesn't like fracking he prefers deep drilling. I don't like fracking. I think it's dangerous to the earth. <br /><br />I don't think that healthcare reform really even came close to fixing that problem. Roemer liked the parts that were good but thinks it needs to be much better. Many of the people who were in a bind before.. still are. I know several of them.. personally.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-72637114834032828112012-01-28T02:09:40.642-06:002012-01-28T02:09:40.642-06:00I have a few more recommendations for that lunar c...I have a few more recommendations for that lunar colony.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-7719535291141091432012-01-28T02:06:54.876-06:002012-01-28T02:06:54.876-06:00Erin Burnett on CNN just said that SuperPacs will ...Erin Burnett on CNN just said that SuperPacs will spend close to 1 billion on this campaign. <br /><br />And I noticed that Obama made no mention of SuperPacs in his SOTU address.

Her kids said she was already on some diabetes med that was working fine but she changed when she made that endorsement deal. <br /><br />I told you it was expensive.. her kids said it was $500/months. Those hot off the press drugs are usually very expensive and often not any better than what they already have available on the market. <br /><br />After reading about it I wasn't impressed. It's also an injection so factor in the cost of supplies needed there.<br /><br />And I guess they have to charge more because besides being new.. with all those scary potential side effects..they may need the money to pay for the class action lawsuits. <br /><br />What's sad is that because Paula Deen is peddling it..people might think you can eat like she cooks and take the drug she takes and be A-OK. <br /><br />Victoza is in a fairly new classes of drugs used to treat diabetes called GLP-1 agonists. I'd certainly wait until they worked the kinks out. Here's an article from your newspaper about them.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/28/health/bydureon-a-diabetes-drug-from-amylin-wins-fda-approval.html" rel="nofollow">Diabetes Drug Injected Weekly Wins F.D.A.
