You know when a child dies, someone would say he was really loved by God and God missed him and wanted him back. Well, I'm middle-aged so God must not like me very much. My grandma is 103 so God must really hate her.

Does anyone remember the Saturday Night Live sketch with Rachel Dratch (back when she was still on the show) called "Debbie Downer"?

Nay, congratulations on your upcoming trip! Really sounds like a life changing experience for sure.

Donna, you were still at work at nearly 8:00 at night? Ugh, sorry. I know what you mean about being fried at the end of the day. And that's just a normal work day!

proud of you, nay!

Not quite 8pm, but it was about 6:30 before I got home last night, and again tonight. The inspection is supposed to last through Friday of NEXT week, which means I'll pretty much be living at work the next week or so. Early mornings, late nights and working lunches. I can't leave while they're there and I always have to stay after. Basically, it sucks.

Apparently, just thought you might like to know, the world is due to end apocalypically this weekend according to some weird American cult.

I'm off to do my short bucket list.

Nice knowing y'all.

I'm missing one of my bucket list things this week. Money always gets in the way.

But....since the world is ending at 6pm tomorrow anyway, I suppose it doesn't matter.

Got plans to go see Pirates of the Caribbean tonight...in 3D, even! I've never been to a 3D movie before.

You've been to 3D rides. It's a lot like the rides. The main difference is your seat doesn't move. There shouldn't be wind or water effects. If you feel wind or water, it's from your neighbors in the theater.

Hum----it's after 7:00 pm here. I just looked out of the window and the world was still there. What time zone was that suppose to be for zero hour?

One of the worst things about being alone is not having a shoulder to cry on.

It was supposed to start in New Zealand at 6pm NZ time, then each timezone will start at it's 6pm local time.

It's almost 11pm my time. I guess I'm not part of that rapture.

Guess we don't get to see what heaven looks like yet.

I know how ya feel about having no shoulder to cry on, Shar. Not easy sometimes. HUGS!

Hugs to everyone who needs it and to those who don't too!

This last Pirates wasn't as good as the other three in my opinion. The mermaid effects were neat (especially in 3D) but the movie seemed to be lacking the "spark" it once had. I wasn't overly impressed with the chemistry between Captain Sparrow and Penelope Cruz's character, and I think the movie suffered by not haviing Bloom and Knieghtly on it.

It was entertaining, but a bit disappointing given how much I love POTC.

Random: I just had leftover nachos for breakfast.

Hugs back and to all.

24 hours vomiting bugs are the worst. Feel better, Nay.

Thanks, Sami. You have a kind heart.

Random:

Hello from Bud.

i want to hug and kiss bud.

Nay, I also hope you're feeling better too. And I want to cuddle Bud.

I hope all you girls are alright. I have alot of catching up to do.

Awww, sweet Bud!

Missed you, PJ!!!!

Awwwwww How cute. Bud has a look-a-like doll.

Good to be back, Nay and Em. I'll still be popping in and out, just like my brain!

Still lot's of family events these next two months.

It was an embarrassing incident, but I don't get the impression it was done to be deliberately disrespectful. Obviously, you would never deliberately speak during another country's national anthem out of respect, but he had already started toasting. The orchestra started playing the anthem during his toast. He was cutoff midsentence. Yes, what he should have done was pause and wait for the anthem to finish and then resume after, but he seemed to have been faced with an awkward, unexpected moment and made the call to keep going. In hindsight, I'm sure he regretted that. I think this was just a mistake all around. The orchestra cutting in during the toast because they thought he was done, and then the Pres. making an on the spot decision that it would be less awkward to keep going rather than stop mid-sentence. Obviously, his judgement call was wrong, and I'm sure he'd have done it differently if he'd had time to think about it. I don't want to presume to know what he or anyone else was thinking, but from what I've seen and read, this was just an embarrassing mistake, and not a deliberate action to be disrespectful of his host country's national anthem.

I don't think he thought this was all about him. On the countrary, he was paying tribute to the Queen and the wonderful alliance the U.S. shares with England.

Interestingly, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg was quoted in the article I read as saying, "I thought you did exactly the right thing." Now I wouldn't go that far. I think the Pres. did make an embarrassing error in judgement. I just think it was fluke incidient and not a deliberately disrespectful act. At least from what I have seen and read regarding it. That may or may not be the full story.
