It rubs me the wrong way when someone moves to a state just so they can run for something. As a local - I wouldn't want someone representing me that's only lived there for a short time! Plus, didn't she say certain things regarding the shooting? Why she would be welcomed there is beyond me.
Anywho - my condolences Dew. And maybe I was seeing things but I thought for sure I saw her in the audience on last night's Dancing with the Stars. I watched the whole darn season and fell asleep the last 5 minutes. How dumb is that? I had to look online this morning to see who won.
I hate Palin as well.
This makes me rethink wanting moving to Arizona.
I know its a conservative state anyways but I wish she would just stay in Alaska.
I am headed back home on Friday.
My nose is healing quite well, I slept the whole night with no issues.
And we have been dodging the weather quite well, although my drive back home should be a challenge. I HAVE to get back home, there is no other option than to drive through it.
So txt, you're not going to stay and help your grandmother with her surgery?
Did she help you with YOUR procedure? I'm thinking she probably helped you in more ways than one if you get my drift.
And, yes. Palin was in the audience of DWTS last night.
She hasn't even decided if she is going to get it.
I have to go back home and take my books back to the college and see if I can get any money for them.
I have to return some things and try to get my verizon blackberry back from my friend so I can sell the phone.
I have bills to pay and I need to come up with money for them and I have to be back in colorado to do so.
If she chooses to do her surgery I will come back but for now I am going home and while I am grateful for her paying for everything, a simple procedure that took 20 minutes vs a major knee replacement happen to be two very different things. I walked out with a bandaid and 3 or 4 stitches. I will have to cook, clean, drive, everything if she were to get her knee surgery done.
But if she wants to get it done I will come back. I will call the guy about the job and set everything up and I will get into police academy here or back home, however long it takes her to recover.
I have to go back home and take my books back to the college and see if I can get any money for them.
Can you get more money for them if you sell them on craigslist or ebay? Someone (mm might know) with a child in college might be able to tell you. But I would think taking them back to the college will get you the least amount.
Glad you are willing to go back to help her when she does the surgery. She's been very, very supportive of you, so returning that support would be nice and I'm sure very appreciated on her part.
I am so dense. I actually went to the Baltimore FORUM looking for some topic I could relate to. a little embarrassed. i hope she doesn't let guilt mess her up. ( poster known as Baltimore Suburbs)
That was my fault for being lazy and not bothering to go back to see the thread title. My laziness is why I called it Baltimore Suburbs' thread.

I lived in Lexington when I was a child.

People from the midwest have that same problem when they come to Pittsburgh. It's not just the lush geenery from the trees, but the steep hills. They dont' like that you can't see the sky for miles and miles. Claustrophobic is the exact word they use to describe how they feel here.

It will be entertaining. For that reason alone, I hope she runs.
But what if she won?! Not likely. I can't see her getting past the primary. But WHAT IF?!?!?!
Waterfight over, soaked to the bone. I definitely had as much fun, if not more, than the kids. Summer begins, schools out! I'm channelling Alice Cooper!
