We're not having snow and that's a darned good thing...with the amount of rain we've been having lately, we'd be completely buried in no time if it were snow! We had 4.5 inches of rain on Tuesday alone and I imagine close to that much yesterday als…

Whew, our gas prices have finally started to drop. Over the weekend it dropped 18 cents, to $4.17. Now I understand the excitement that prompted someone to start this thread to being with.....what are we going to do with the extra $9 a week that w…

Ours is high because we're in Alaska, and all the gas stations in my town are charging the same amount. Ours has always been higher, so we went up at about the same rate as everyone else in the country did, we were just paying a higher amount to st…

Gas is still at $4.35 here. It's been at that amount for quite a while now, and while it isn't going up, it hasn't dropped any, either.

I'm some kind of a masochist, I guess, because I've been looking at my 401k nearly every day lately. According to my balance today, I have lost all of the money that I've put in there in the past 4.5 years, plus whatever employer matches have gone …

I gotta agree with you Nae...I adore my grandkids and spend a lot of time with them, but I would be totally wiped out if I spent all day, every day taking care of them. One of the true pleasures of grandparenthood is being able to love on them and …

Congrats, Nae. What a pair of beautiful little girls!

Speaking of the "bridge to nowhere", I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I live in the town that's on the island right across from "nowhere" (in other words, it was supposed to be OUR bridge). When our airport was built 35 years ago, wit…

I guess I'm lucky, our network blocks certain things from running so all I see on the righthand side of the page is a message from our network administrator saying that it's been blocked. But from my experience on my home computer, ads like that dr…

Mad magazine got me into trouble in the 6th grade....some friends and I decided to put out a little newsletter for the kids in our class and the teacher thought that was an okay idea so he let us use class time to put it together. I ended up being …

I was born and raised in Alaska and am an extremely agreeable and conscientious person, but I'm not surprised that Alaskans overall ranked low. As a huge state with a low population and lots of room to get lost or not even have to have neighbors if…

I've never heard anything about Walt Monegan being part Eskimo (a great many of us born and raised in Alaska are not part Eskimo or Alaska Native) and I was unable to find anything that specifically said one way or another, but even if he is, I don'…

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-17-08 AT 01:57PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Just to make it clear, because some people seem to be confused about who was actually fired (see the post above referring to the "officer" being white, male and un…

This story has made a lot of headlines in most Alaska newspapers since it started several months ago. I was surprised at the lack of knowledge the media displayed about it when Gov. Palin was chosen as McCain's running mate, because all anybody wou…
-
One of the sad parts about the revelation of Bristol Palin's pregnancy was the fact that they felt they had to say something when they did (not that it isn't physically evident already anyhow) because of the rumors circulating in magazines and on th…

In HR terms - would I hire her? I think in many ways, yes, she has been a good employee for the state of Alaska. She seems to have the courage of her convictions in terms of what is good for our state. In some ways she's been a real breath of fres…
-
Yeah, she struck me as extremely high maintenance. I probably wouldn't be able to do most of the stuff they do on crabbers, either, but then I wouldn't be going on a show like that trying to do it and then whining about it, that's for darned sure. …
-
I watched part of the re-run of it on MSNBC last night, and I was kind of surprised that they kicked her off. I thought for sure it was going to be the blonde woman, she struck me as pretty inept at that particular job (not to mention whiny) but th…

All of those are good, although I have to take exception to the one about being engaged at least six months before getting married....the marriage to a man I'd been engaged to for 18 months turned out sooooooo badly, whereas the marriage I entered i…

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Boy, it's probably lucky she didn't use Renea for a middle name. I know to pronounce that as "Renee" because I've known people who have spelled it that way, but overall "Lyn" was probably safer. With my grandkid…
-
I hate to ask, but how do you pronounce Neveah? I've known of several little girls who have been named that (apparently it's become hugely popular in the last couple of years) but I've never heard it said out loud. When I try it either comes out a…

What a beautiful baby (and I say that as someone who knows what she's talking about, since I have four of the world's most beautiful grandchildren). She's so alert and wide-eyed and almost looks like she's ready to smile. Congratulations, Nae!

These are wonderful. My favorites are #15 & #16, and I also love #22. My husband and I joke about that all the time on our way through the fast food drive-through!
-
My favorite here is the one about Annapolis. I've heard the same thing about the town I live in, only here it's "a drinking town with a fishing problem."
-
I went to lunch with my husband, who's a truck driver, and told him that joke. He thought it was great!
-
Yikes....ours went up to $4.15 when I wasn't looking!
