Halloween 2008
Well Halloween 2008 has came and gone! It was great I got all dressed up and Rodney did to...here is the HALLOWEEN 2008 STORY...
It all started on beautiful autumn day I was getting ready for my wedding and thought it was going to be a wonderful start to the rest of my life with Rodney...if I had only knew...I slipped it to my wedding gown and walked out onto the front porch, just for some fresh air, before I was to be picked up to be taken to the ceremony...then it happen...I had heard on the evening news that Micheal Myers was back in town, but I didn't think about him being right here. It was such a beautiful night I was taking it all in and trying to relax then out of nowhere he had me! He beat me pretty bad I couldn't get away...he slit my throat and left me for dead...I am here now to forever haunt the house on cherokee lane...

The Associated Press takes a look at the details in Obama's prime-time ad
AP
Wednesday, October 29, 2008
WASHINGTON -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was less than upfront in his half-hour commercial Wednesday night about the costs of his programs and the crushing budget pressures he would face in office.
Obama's assertion that "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond" the expense of his promises is accepted only by his partisans. His vow to save money by "eliminating programs that don't work" masks his failure throughout the campaign to specify what those programs are -- beyond the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
A sampling of what voters heard in the ad, and what he didn't tell them:
THE SPIN: "That's why my health care plan includes improving information technology, requires coverage for preventive care and pre-existing conditions and lowers health care costs for the typical family by $2,500 a year."
THE FACTS: His plan does not lower premiums by $2,500, or any set amount. Obama hopes that by spending $50 billion over five years on electronic medical records and by improving access to proven disease management programs, among other steps, consumers will end up saving money. He uses an optimistic analysis to suggest cost reductions in national health care spending could amount to the equivalent of $2,500 for a family of four. Many economists are skeptical those savings can be achieved, but even if they are, it's not a certainty that every dollar would be passed on to consumers in the form of lower premiums.
THE SPIN: "I also believe every American has a right to affordable health care."
THE FACTS: That belief should not be confused with a guarantee of health coverage for all. He makes no such promise. Obama hinted as much in the ad when he said about the problem of the uninsured: "I want to start doing something about it." He would mandate coverage for children but not adults. His program is aimed at making insurance more affordable by offering the choice of government-subsidized coverage similar to that in a plan for federal employees and other steps, including requiring larger employers to share costs of insuring workers.
THE SPIN: "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond their cost."
THE FACTS: Independent analysts say both Obama and Republican John McCain would deepen the deficit. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates Obama's policy proposals would add a net $428 billion to the deficit over four years -- and that analysis accepts the savings he claims from spending cuts. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, whose other findings have been quoted approvingly by the Obama campaign, says: "Both John McCain and Barack Obama have proposed tax plans that would substantially increase the national debt over the next 10 years." The analysis goes on to say: "Neither candidate's plan would significantly increase economic growth unless offset by spending cuts or tax increases that the campaigns have not specified."
THE SPIN: "Here's what I'll do. Cut taxes for every working family making less than $200,000 a year. Give businesses a tax credit for every new employee that they hire right here in the U.S. over the next two years and eliminate tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. Help homeowners who are making a good faith effort to pay their mortgages, by freezing foreclosures for 90 days. And just like after 9-11, we'll provide low-cost loans to help small businesses pay their workers and keep their doors open. "
THE FACTS: His proposals -- the tax cuts, the low-cost loans, the $15 billion a year he promises for alternative energy, and more -- cost money, and the country could be facing a record $1 trillion deficit next year. Indeed, Obama recently acknowledged -- although not in his commercial -- that: "The next president will have to scale back his agenda and some of his proposals."

This TAPE thing!!!!
This is the Headline on Foxnews.com
Tale of the Tape
McCain calls out L.A. Times for refusing to release video of Obama toasting PLO activist Rashid Khalidi, saying, 'why that should not be made public is beyond me.'
It worries me if the media doesn't want to put something out there just how bad it really is!! Does that not bother you...I'm just curious - Let's Hear It and let us decide...
Another thing - So many things have been brought out on Obama yet so many people still think he is so great - why? Is it really just because he is a great speaker??
One More thing! Obama was so head strong on VOTE early - wonder why - I wonder if his people were worried about what else might come about him...just my thoughts...

Well Today is Thursday and it is almost over and that only means one thing tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!! (yeah) We are so Ready for the weekend I don't care what we do just for it to be the weekend!!!
But anyway...I have a BAT story to tell!!
Rodney and I have started back Walking and a the day before yesterday we walked our Circle through town and when we were walking by the pastures there was a BAT hanging on the fence there on the side of the road. We first thought it was dead and and we walked up to it and it turned its little head and I took off ;) that is all I needed to know everythign was just fine...
Well Yesterday we walked the same road and the same Bat was still there but this time it was throwing a little fit when we walked by. It was stuck!!! it had been stuck there for a full 24 hours and could have been much longer than that??? but Rodney got a stick and worked with the Bat and finally got him unstuck but man he was mad because I know it had to be hurting his little foot...but the wings on this thing was a good 10 inches wide! But when Rodney finally got him loose this bat took off and flew away so hopefully he now has a chance...otherwise he would have died right there...MY HUSBAND THE BAT SAVER!!!;)

Well...is it time to write?
I think so...I have been quite long enough! ;)
Below is a really good link that compares each Canidate:
http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2008/news/0806/gallery.election_issues/index.html
Yesterday I went to the Revenue Office and got my Voters Registration Form - I am Registered, but It had me listed as my name before I was married and at the wrong address so I couldn't have voted if I tried...I don't even know if when I voted last year it counted ;) they didn't know heads or tails when I tried to explain it to them they just finally said we know you go vote...I tried really hard to stay awake and watch Odama speech last night but I fell asleep - PLEASE give me your view - did I miss anything????
I saw that McCain announced his VP choice - the part of the speech today from her was nice but I will have to do some reserch on her before I can give you my 2 cent on her ;)
Enough of that I get so wrapped up in it that is all I think about...
So I'll move on to something that is just as important (ha) Big Brother - How about it I can't believe that Ollie actually thought for one minute Dan was going to follow the agreement they had but I guess he was going to try it...but he will be in the house that get to chose the winner...I really hope that Jerry gets to the end. He has done alot better than I ever thought he would - YEAH Jerry!!
I am so HAPPY it is Friday - 3 day weekend - BUT Rodney is at home with a pulled muscle in his back...it happened yesterday loading something in the back of the truck - it is the same muscle that he pulled a year or two ago and the next day when he got out of bed I guess he blacked out and fell and busted his face on floor...not pretty!!! Hopefully it won't be that bad this time - he is doped up on muscle relaxers taking it easy - or at least he is suppose to be ;)
Ankle Update: I am doing great with my ankle - I still have a pretty little limp, but I have started walking around the block trying to get some muscle built back up in the leg...still got a scar but after it heals some more it won't be bad at all!
Below is a pic I just had to share - Harley we seen over the weekend!!!!

Change my Mind...
I have the choice to decide to go down in a big ball of fire or rise up and spread my wings. I have been under a bunch of stress at work and it has mainly been with the the office/house remodel that is going on. It makes it very hard just to do my job just like today I walk up to my office and the roof next to my office is completely gone! They are raising the roof ;)!! ANyway between that and the new dog and now the grandkids because it is summer break I just want to scream! But I have decided that I have a choice here...my life is the most important to me and yes I have a job and it is important but I need to be at my best to do the best job I can do!!! So I am going to quit downing the world and look on the bright side of all of this and know that there is an end to it all!
I went to the Doctor yesterday due to some numbing headaches etc. and they told me that it looks like Miagrains as soon as the appt was over they sent me to the hospital for an MRI just to be sure...they should call me today on that...I was kinda well not kinda I was worried about MS b/c there are family members that have it but he said from my last MRI that it wasn't MS but he would check again on this one just for certain...He put me on a medication for the Miagrains that I will be taking everyday and then I go back in 3 months to see if it helped.
I wake up this morning with a really bad sore throat so just what I need strep or an ulcer...bring it on!!!!

Wow weeee! I am back in town after a much needed weekend getaway with Rodney. After 2 full weeks and only seeing him 3 times it was so needed! So we went to Branson saw a show and shopped and ate way to much! Then went to Eureka where we stayed in the Basin Park for the first time (very neat) just like the Cresent...we both love it there and the storms moved through on Saturday night so it just made it for a better stay. We ate way way to much there but is was so worth it...I ate a Black and Blue Burger (Bacon & Blue Cheese) man it was great acutally had it twice it was soo good! Anyway we walked the streets and only found 2 things to buy but I was really excited...it was two bowls hand made pottery - they were for cleo and water and food bowl - just perfect...now he is high class no more mis-matched bowls for him ;)
Above are some pics...enjoy :)
