RE: Gift Registry for Obama

Looks like the D's won another funding battle (subsidized student loans).

Also appears that a showdown on the budget will occur prior to Jan 1, 2013, unless extended.

...fix the damn country, already.

He can't. He hasn't a clue. He's in waayyy over his head.

LOL. BD.

I got some tender points. All I saw was, ouch, and pass the bag balm. I wonder if bike chain lube works on bike seats (less friction).

I didn't see too much that was objectionable. Most were well painted and those that weren't well covered, you didn't want to dwell one's eyes too long on them.

The problem with looking at the bikes is that it's hard to ignore what's sitting on them. People, cover up already, jeez! Some things should be covered, not painted.

Probably won't get sun till after July 4th. We have to have a soggy Independence day. Grass is looking pretty green, though.

Burke Gilman is boring, and crowded. I live close to the trail and don't even like to run on it, too many people, too many bikes. Not bad during the week, though.

I actually had to change my Amtrak ticket inorder to catch the fair. evileye

DS works in Fremont and lives nearby. I biked. I was more interested in what bikes people were riding. A lot of Raleigh's, city/road bikes. Newer models are sleeker, faster, and or course have a firm ride. evileye I want to upgrade. evileye

when are we going to get some sun and get some warmth? Nothing was perky and things were kinda shunken.

Burke trail is boring.

You would think those potential voters that could swing to the other side of the president by watching it. The politicking is so obvious.

Should have known you'd end up at the Fremont parade, longprime!! Though what can I say, my husband went (though the rest of us refused). He had thought the naked bikers were merely a small sideshow to the festivities, but he said this year they were the main event. Did you join in? Every pervert in Seattle seems to end up in that parade, and then some from other states tend to find their way here too (not referring to you, of course).

It's more than a little embarassing. Stop trying to woo fundraisers and potential voters and fix the damn country, already.

catahoula · Guru

Hell, I don't even like Romney but at least he isn't embarassing the crap out of me:

And it's just late June -- what's next?

It just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser.

I originally thought this was a satirical piece on "The Onion" or something like that.

Sooner or later, nature will nudge him towards the bliss we're all enjoying, lp. And weirdly enough, he'll eventually thank you if there's no recollection you pushed him there even one single day before his time.

-------------------------------------

Along with the gift registry panhandling, there was also something Drudge ran about one of Michelles tweets or emails. I got creeped out before I finished but it included the recollection of Barrack shoveling her car out every morning in Chicago and then drifted off into musings about him caring for all of us just as deeply.

Barf.

Stayed in abode last week. No he does not have a GF (90% confidence). He's having too much fun as a single and without the nose ring. I was in Seattle, 25% mixed couples, 25% F-F. 25% M-M, 25% groups.

Fremont Bike show was interesting. evileye

"Parents needs a GF for DS. Gifts OPTIONAL"

Still trying to set up that son, ay? Maybe he has one and just isn't telling. They can be very private, you know, the parents get no information. Plus, I thought the GF was the gift.

You don't need no stinking gifts!

As the promo says "it's a gift that we can all appreciate".

Foodie and can cook. Parents needs a GF for DS. Gifts OPTIONAL and if desired, make check to [favorite charity, Mitt Romney (personal networth in excess of $250,000,0000)]*
