Hey Shadow! Direct)

Just wanted to say g'nite to everyone..

Yes, I think the Pickens plan has a good outlook. As you can see up there, tho. I didn't say oil was the only answer. But I also don't agree with piling a ton of money into it until we get the economy on the right path. Green trucks are going to be of no use to us if the businesses leave the country in the meantime, like they're doing now. There's got to be balance between spending and providing for the country. I still have a very uneasy feeling about govt. growing to do it all. I see this historical pattern throughout the countries to our east who give govt. all the power and end up with less in the long run. Wish the philanthropists of our day could get together outside of government and somehow fund the project itself instead of candidates' campaign funds.

You're entitled to that opinion) have a great night Madison.. Think it's time for me to turn in..

Yep.. wish they would have let us drill more years ago while they search out other resources. Funny story.. The eskimos in Alaska.. this one certain tribe that still functions on tradition, still goes out once a year to a rough area of the river where the caribou cross each year. They wait until all the animals are barely making it through the deep waters and then they charge, killing as many as they can, all if they're lucky. Accidents happen all the time, just wish we wouldn't blow up and never take chances because of them.

Oh I know! Where did he go?! Oh, I hope you didn't run him off, too...

Hey buttons! *big smile

How are you tonight? I think I caught your bad weekend... lol.

So, we should have let Saudi Arabia fight its own battle against Iran? What do you envision being the answer to the problem, not just the problem itself? I'm honestly curious because sometimes it just looks like we're backed into a corner, and I sure the heck don't have the answers.

Zero (ok, do nicknames count?)

Oh wow, Etrain.. Those are pretty good! Romeo, I never knew)

I hope someone normal does.. :D

rofl.. well, not yet.. but that's all I can explain the being sad part with--especially when I have no real reason.. ;p

I did find out that the alternate route I was considering in my education can't really be done, and I had been happy about it for about a week. Now, I have to go ahead with what I'm doing anyway.

Was thinking of going ahead with the doctoral program instead of teaching Middle school until the boys get older, but it's intense to try to get into it. I'll still start it, tho. Take my GRE while I'm going for MS, apply while I'm teaching, and perhaps 4-5 yrs. down the road, someone will admit me, lol..

But that can't really be it. I love kids, too. And teaching MS will help me get into a program that takes care of my old school loans. So, that's a happy thought. omg.. I'm rambling.

(Thx Kewe.. it wouldn't let me put that other one in)

With what? midol? now that was funny Romeo, tyvm)

I've thought that about you all along!

Nooo! lol. I'm feeling hormonal tonight, and that means sad. No real reason for it, but don't antagonize the feeling!

lol.. Thx E) Knew you could do it if anyone could..

Hey Romeo) Hey Etrain) Tell me something happy.

Didn't mean to start a back and forth with you. But I never said Bush made the economy great. Sometimes there's more to life than money. At least for me, there is. In fact, for me, there is all the time. Life is so big and the principles that govern it so important that we can't keep thinking that success is measured by our pocketbooks. Not saying that you do, tho. Just blabbing to myself, really) Blessed are the poor.. I like that one.
