WHY WASTE A POST ON REPUBLICAN BLOGGERS??
Can't make this stuff up folks--this is politics in 2012!!
"Former state Senate Democratic Majority Leader Malcolm Smith is considering running for mayor — as a Republican — in a move that could shake up the 2013 mayoral contest." Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/gop_eyeing_mayor_malcolm_SUprNv2u1ro3ap5g0yHgjK#ixzz22JYMIKAz
1) I was going to rant against Republican and/or Conservative bloggers who are a breed of their own but they don't know how to read just to copy and paste the party line and/or lie so on to other things . (Though I still might say something further down the list!)
2) Don't remember where I read this but it is smart: "To the optimist and to the pessimist--this is from the realist--while you were arguing whether the glass was half full or half empty, I drank it."
3) Former Senate leader Fist and 2 other Republicans said, "Stop wasting time and money and get with the Health Care program"--smart men.
4) I really enjoy watching "The Newsroom" and "Political Animals".
5) Chick-A-Fil spokesperson Donald Perry died last Friday. Karma? Payback? Coincidence? Mother always said, "If you can't say something nice about someone don't say anything" so I won't.
6) Get rid of negative people in your life and you will have a better life--they feed off you so ignore them.
7) When you get a compliment just say "Thank you"--don't add a 'but'.
8) Blogs are a funny thing--on 2 sites I get some responses, on 2 others I get more and on 3-4 I get a minimum of 10-12 comments. Unfortunately on 1 site the people are rude and crude, name callers, some not liking anyone who isn't like them with a majority of them being two faced.
9) A couple of people asked, regarding my "7 Decades" series--from 1972-1979 I paid 35-37% in taxes and still had everything I wanted and needed.
10) I wonder why people blog if they are going to disable all comments unless they are so alone they have no one to talk to and get things off their chest?
11) I fell for it--there is a blogger called myolympicjourney who caught me in her web--I thought she was really writing a journal regarding her first experience of participating in the Olympics when all the time she was a student doing a writing experience--I usually read a blogger's profile and first blog but I didn't in this case--that's okay as others fell into the trap also which makes me feel better! LOL
12) What makes Blu-Ray so much better than a regular DVD?
13) I never understood, still don't, about the 'friends' topic--I have over 250 'friends' on one of my blogging sites and I don't know most of them nor have I ever heard from them after they requested to be my friend and I said yes. And if people are going to do 'friends only' posts why not just e-mail them?
14) Strange--all we hear is about the 1% and higher taxes--meanwhile AT&T has raised their residential rates and cut back their lifeline by $4 and no one, including AARP or other organizations, have complained that poor people are paying an extra $6 a month.
15) Did the Right really think the British did the Health Care segment in the Olympics opening night ceremonies purposely against them and not because they are very proud of their system and part of their history?
16) We lost some great entertainers recently like Tony Martin, Gore Vidal 86 Sherman Hemsley 74 and Chad Everett 74 with the latter 2 younger than me but Tony made it to 98.
17) Though most TV commercials are as annoying as hell there are a few I enjoy each time I see them like Shaq in the Buick ad where he points his finger at the camera at the end and gives that 'cute kid' smile. Then there is John Cleese in the DirectTv commercial and I crack up each time I see the 'wooing my daughter' Toyota and one in the Subaru where the father and daughter chase the rainbow. And I won't get into the Ford ads with the hunk! LOL
18) Oh heck, I've been good up to this point so (if the shoe fits wear it) why are most Republican/Conservative bloggers homophobic but will die saying they aren't while posting anti-gay blogs? And why don't they ever answer a direct question with a direct answer? Why are they so quick to call people names and get uptight if you call them a name? And because Romney said something stupid in Britain why did Republicans have to write such horrible posts about Britain and the English knowing many bloggers are British?

You have been here how long??? All you have to do is read 'the latest blogs' subjects on the homepage. Most Republicans ASSUME I am a Democrat because I am Gay and Jewish and from New York but they don't know how I vote and haven't bothered to ask me--one person might know because they kept ALL my posts from day 1----awwwww--what can I say? They want me!!! LOL |
|
Saving all your posts is slightly on the creepy stalker side? I was only teasing, I know how political people can get. It seems the whole world is constantly trying to sort people into nice neat little boxes. I don't really fit in any of their assigned boxes so I get to wander around outside the boxes and admire the wildflowers |
|
It's not creepy--one claims they do it because of their job and keep all the posts but I have always wondered if they have a tape of the call they made to me one night...and another kept all my psost and comments because they didn't like me and was out to see if the could blackmail me--yes, we are in cyber space! LOL People have always put me in boxes but only 2 out of the thousands I have known know me and that's in the real world. |
|
I think it's creepy no matter what the reason is. I know it's the way of the web but it still seems 'off' to me. However it's sort of pitiful of them too. Ah well, "peoples is peoples" I suppose |
|
In 10 years of being on the Internet I have only saved 2 e-mails--and I don't remember what I wrote 2 weeks ago LOL |
|
I don't remember what I wrote yesterday, so you're doing better than I am. I save work emails for legal/logistical reasons but all my other stuff gets deleted. |
|
I have an excuse--I'm old---you don't and aren't!!!! There are a lot of good things about being old (okay and a few bad) and saying "I don't remember" is a great one!! |
|
I'm not young, not really old either at 47 I think I'm somewhere in the middle muddle. I'd guess you're not much older than I am if not younger |
|
Bless you--I am old enough to be your father and if I started younger your grandfather!!! |
|
Well, I never would have guessed it. You wear it well |
|
I think it was all the years I drank--perserved me well! LOL Thank you. |
|
I'll never ask about your political party, it's not how I see people |
|
Ah but do you see ghosts??? Sorry, I know it was a lame joke but I just had to--now if you never saw "The 6th Sense" that was a wasted joke!!! LOL |
|
No, but I've seen one or three dead people, does that count? |
|
Ghosts--dead people--all the same. |
|
As long as you don't help a blind man IN the bathroom! LOL |
|
I've done that too but only when the need is dire |
|
You mean he couldn't find his own???? The 2 blind men I know said that is the first thing they 'learn'! How to go to the men's room :O) |
|
It was more about navigating the maze of our clubs restroom and helping with clothing issues than it was about aim ;) |
|
As Ricky (one of my blind friends) said, "I don't need anyone to hold it or aim it--just get me to the door!" |
|
I work in a health club and I get called upon to do the darnedest things now and then but hey, the job's never boring |
|
Blu Ray is for watching the blu movies, isn't it? |
|
I don't know--I'm just in them, I don't watch them! |
|
|
|
Oh, oh--another one of my brilliant 'moments'????? LOL |
 |
I really enjoyed that.you write so well and love your humor too |
|
Thank you--not too many people get my humor!!! LOL |
|
I have a strange sense of humour...so I am told!It seems natural to me. |
|
We are the good guys--not them!!!! LOL |
|
I think so..how can we be happy when thousands are struggling to pay for medical help or medication not to mention food...we are all one. |

Well...I'm trying REALLY REALLY hard these days to think positive - be positive - and live positive - and tryig really hard to just stay away from religion and politics, so I'll respond to a few of your items... I think new people think by "friending" you, they are subscribing to you - or maybe just letting you know they like reading your posts. The only reason or use I see for the friend button is if you want to write posts to only people you have friended, which means you have to be very careful who you accept as friends which might be taken personally by newcomers...which is when the friend thing is usually used. So I've told a few of the migrating group about the subscribe button. I never use the friend one, but still almost always accept people's gesture of friendship to me. There is only one person I run into here who has disabled comments. I keep forgetting it - read their post - and almost always am surprised to get to the end of it and see I can't respond. So I've taken, on a number of occasions, to writing him/her a pm comment about their post - and get a reply!! |
|
I really wish blogster had a sign/signal if a blog is friends only or not post them on front page besides I would think friends only would be subscribed. I am really being nice to the new people--be proud of me!!!! Well, so far. |

cute avatar! |

Have you gone to picmonkey.com yet--it is fun. How is the Ipad??? |
|
I've hardly had time to study the iPad much. Been a busy week. Dana is playing all day long tomorrow, so I'm gonna be home waiting for Lowes to come install my new washing machine. I'm hoping to spend a good part of the day tomorrow and Sunday fiddling with it. I'm just scared to death I'm going to purchased something I don't want. I've learned how and started putting my contacts in it - names, addresses, emails, etc and I've learned about how to work the calendar and put things in there. But I want to get the movies, books, and games all figured out so mom can do that when passing time at her chemo the next few months or if she ends up bedridden. But I DON'T want to buy something just testing it out. So maybe I'll find ONE book/magazine and ONE movie I WOULD love to have always and purchase them to see how well it works. I also want to learn how to move a few picture from this laptop to the iPad. Ugh - my brain hurts..Getting too old to even want to learn this stuff. But once it's done, I think it will be fun. Once I get a little larger pocketbook, it slips right in there and it also takes pictures and ............VIDEOS!! |
|
And wait until you try to see how the new washing machine works!!! LOL I don't believe I have spent 2 hours--2 hours!!!!---answering notifications!! No more--I am going off the Internet!!! See if you can buy a carrot cake on the new Ipad!!!!!! :O) |
I had no idea that bloggers were politically divided. Jeeeeez I guess that makes me independent in the blogosphere too. Sighhhhh
