KOEB Meeting 5/4/10: What? No Terra Terra Terra? Edition

Edited on Tue May-04-10 07:14 PM by SeattleGirl

How nice is it that the Obama Admin, unlike Bushco, isn't running around like a bunch of Chicken Little's after the NYC attempted car bombing? I find it quite refreshing myself.

being tortured! Hey, where's Darth Cheney? Haven't heard him ponticating about this latest one.

5. I think he's in hiding because

he knows deep down that the oil leak is his fault.

6. I think you're right!

He's probably laying low in that underground bunker of his.

19. Normally I would say, anything that keeps Dick Cheney quiet and off my TV is good.

However, in this case I think we have to make a major exception. :-(

11. RIP, Ernie Harwell

Just heard long-time Tigers announcer died at the age of 92. He'd been ill with cancer for a while, so it's not unexpected, but it's sad all the same. Hearing Ernie's voice on the radio always meant summer to me.

No one since he retired has ever sounded quite right to me. Ernie was Tigers baseball to many of us.

22. OT, but here's where I'm staying when I'm in Detroit:

http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p176851

It's about 6 blocks north of Comerica on John R Street.

If I'm not working full-time for Nancy yet, maybe we can have a pj party (not that I want to invite myself over, but it could be fun).

36. Not to sleep over -- only two bedrooms

But I know you talked about dinner one night. That would be fun and my hubby would come for dinner.

That place is seriously amazing. You did a great job finding it. If I'm not working, I may just want to move in with you for the week! Of course I will have just gotten back from Vegas, so hubby may not be wild about that idea.

39. We could always have a PJ dinner with them, and the rest

of you could stay over!

I was blown away when I found it, and am so glad I did. I might not want to come home!

who manages it for her brother; she knows I'm going to rent it, so it's not a problem.

52. Nope, others have rented it the weeks before and after my week.

It's spendier than a hotel room, but since I can cook and store food while I'm there, I won't have to eat out for every single meal, which I really hate. I like eating out, but not every meal for an entire week! Plus it allows me to cook for you and the others, which I'm also looking forward to!

I hope you like chicken!

58. I will be making my husband's receipe for honey dijon chicken

Edited on Tue May-04-10 08:02 PM by SeattleGirl

It has a thin slice of black forest ham on top (that okay with you? if not, I can leave it off your piece), and is served with wild rice (harvested by my Chippewa father in law in upper Minnesota), and asparagus. For dessert, I'm going to make creme brulee.

Damn, I'm hungry now!

I don't eat it.

Are you renting a car? It's not easy to get around without one if you want to leave that area at all.

Now there's a name for a baseball announcer--Score.

30. I missed that line

I just caught that Theresa's sister or whoever was married to a Jew and that Jewish men worshipped their wives and bowed down to them. Quite the generalization that was.

I hate Danielle even more than I remember. Thank goodness her daughters are smarter than she is and wouldn't let her crash Caroline's party.

51. She made some gestures around her ears & nose

then Teresa shut her up. And she gets pissed when someone says they're in the mob? :eyes:

I don't know, I came late to this party, but it looks to me like Danielle's getting dog-piled by a bunch of small-minded control freaks more jealous that their sister-in-law has friends outside *their* family than "concerned" for their safety.

But yeah, I was one with her kids "Don't go there." :)

But the flooding is unbelievable. Terrible that they're not getting the media attention they should, either. They are going to need a LOT of help.

People who think wind turbines are "bird blenders" have never seen how slow they are when actually in action. They imagine the blades whirling around like box fans! They don't!
