It loses my login every time I leave the site, even though I've been asking it to remember me.

I'm not crazy about the fact that it refuses to remember me, but I have many other programs that I use that I have to re-log onto every time so I'm kind of used to being forgotten!

Did anybody else wear leg warmers back in the 80's when they were in style? I had one pair of them, which I wore to walk to and from work every day when the weather was cold. My son was teasing me not too long ago about having worn leg warmers (an…

I know, even when we were wearing very low cut hip-huggers, somehow we managed to keep everything tucked inside, even if we weren't wearing a bodysuit. To have your tummy (or other regions) on display just because your pants were low-cut was just n…

I hadn't thought about "pedal pushers" in years! I wore those a lot as a child in the early 60's; around here our summers often don't get very warm so those were what we wore for summer instead of shorts. There was a phase around here when I was i…

Generation X sounds old?! I am a Baby Boomer who's the mother of a Gen X-er and the grandmother of two Millennials (although, at 10 & 12, they're very late millennials). Yikes, that makes me feel absolutely ancient!

It wasn't flip-flops, but I do remember almost falling down laughing when I watched a young woman leave work wearing very bare little sandals during the winter and step off the curb into about four inches of ice water where the snow was melting. Sh…

Those are great! I definitely agree with yours, Nae....we've had more than one employee recently who was terminated for constantly coming in late who have argued "I was ONLY five minutes late!" Yeah, but do you realize how much time that five minu…

I can't tell you how happy I was when I was watching the news before work this morning and the commentator referred to Bush as "ex-president". At least when I watch Obama speak I don't feel like he's smirking at me or being snide, which was how I a…

Happy New Year, everybody! I don't make resolutions because I know I won't keep them, but my goals for 2009 are to get healthier, both physically and financially. I figure if I stop eating at McDonald's and buying expensive beverages at Starbuck's…

I personally love #8...it's so true. Merry Christmas!

Good heavens, yes, that's working out well for her! I am one of those mothers-in-law that you never hear about....I'm pretty much always available at the drop of a hat to watch the kids (ages 14 months, 3.5 years, 9 years, and 11 years), and no, I …

We didn't have to run to the store for anything, we were remarkably efficient for once and got everything we needed the weekend before Thanksgiving. We made a turkey, several side dishes, cranberry sauce, and rolls to take to my son's house. Once …

I've been threatening for months now to make a lovely embroidered sampler to hang on the wall of my office that says "Just shut up and do your job!" Not a very sweet sentiment or motto, but that's the way it's been around here all this year. Jud…

Yeah, that was my take on it too. She's been so busy making t.v. appearances and fielding book offers, etc., not to mention the whole idea of running in 2012, that I don't see how she could possibly be governing the state!

Our gas only dropped 80 - 90 cents a gallon before it came to rest at $3.75. I know our prices have generally been at least a little bit more than what everyone in the lower 48 pays but this is the first time in my memory that there's been such a l…

We actually flew to Southern California on our vacation and drove a rental while we were down there, and enjoyed only having to pay $2.35 or so a gallon. Got back home and ours is STILL at $3.75! There was a letter to the editor in our local newsp…
-
Anybody heard what gas is going for in Southern California right now? I'm heading down there on vacation on Sunday so it'll be interesting to see...it's gotta be cheaper than it is up here, anyway!
-
We paid $3.75 this morning. I doubt if ours will ever get down below the $3 mark, but it was nice to only pay $84 to fill up, rather than $100 like we were paying not too long ago!
-
Nae, you're exactly right when you say Gov. Palin's actions may be more about the national spotlight than what is good for Alaska...that's a pretty big fear in this state now. As you say, hopefully she will understand that to keep a firm foothold i…

Wow, it would seem that no matter what, we just can't have a civil discussion with regard to politics, can we? For the first time in a long time, the candidate I voted for won, and he won fair and square. I was, however, just as impressed by …

I always vote by mail if I'm given the option, and I sent in my ballot last week. I took great pleasure in telling any live person that happened to call trying to get me to vote for their candidate "Sorry, I've already voted!"

>I'm dressed as all proper HR people should be dressed... as a referee! I wish I'd thought of that one, Frank. I'm sure DH still has his ref shirt & whistle from when he used to ref basketball games, so that would have been a quick &a…

I'm not in costume today but I did wear a Halloween-themed sweatshirt. I feel kind of out of place even wearing what I am because nobody else in my department dressed up at all. Last year quite a few of us did but for some reason nobody was really…

I wouldn't want to even try to read The Stand clear through in 12 hours, because when I'm really enjoying a book I tend to want to savor every moment and make it last as long as possible. I've re-read it a number of times and I enjoy it just as muc…

I've read everything Ann Rule has written except for the book she wrote on Ted Bundy; for some reason I've never gotten around to reading that one. Gotta agree with Paul, though, after you read enough true crime you start to think in kind of strang…

I really enjoyed "Duma Key". I've liked pretty much all of Stephen King's books, although I'd have to say my two favorites are "The Shining" and "The Stand". I haven't re-read either of them in a number of years so I'm thinking I'll need to do tha…

I've always got at least two or three books going. Currently I'm reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma", about where our food comes from, and for fiction, "The Stupidest Angel" by Christopher Moore, and "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson. …

plynnl - that is interesting. I know a lot of people who seem to consider Vancouver part of Oregon...I can't tell you how many times people have told me they're moving to Portland and it ended up they were actually moving to Vancouver. Maybe they …

We were just commenting this morning on how tired we are of political ads on t.v. Not only do we get the national stuff and our state stuff, the main NBC channel we watch is from Seattle so we're inundated with Washington State's political ads, too…
