Vacation time is nearly upon us! Here in Florida, business is dwindling. Most of the snowbirds are headed north and the economy is in a downturn. Luckily for us, people are always looking for a good lawsuit. The insurance companies will always be an easy target that iI love to get even with. Anyway, I am still deciding on a vacation plan. I was thinking of going to the Great Smoky Mountains and eventually out to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
It sure has been a long time since I was in high school. Most of my friends from high school are long gone, married with kids of their own. I can remember distinctly as I was in law school always getting these invitations to go to my girlfriend’s baby showers. I never really had any intentions of having kids for myself so I was always clueless as to what constitutes baby gifts. That is why I’m thankful they have gift registries so I know what they can use.
I keep getting these letters in the mail from various life insurance policies I hold, telling me about how I can get increased coverage if I pay a little more every month. Maybe this is a good idea for some, but I already have half a million dollars on my life, so I think my funeral will be paid for and then some. Besides, who gets insurance out of the mail anymore? Nowadays, you can go online and get a term life insurance quote just like that.
I have always had a fascination with old age Chevy Corvettes. I mean, they are all great automobiles that represent the auto industry in America very well. If the United States could have kept producing cars like these, we’d still be a major player in the auto producing world. Anyway, I wanted to restore this old Corvette shell I picked up from a friend for less than a grand. The engine still worked, but a lot of worked needed to be done. Luckily, I had a catalog from www.corvetteguys.com, so I was set when it comes to Chevy parts.
I was at work this morning when I got into an interesting discussion with an associate. She was talking about her pregnancy and how everything was coming along. She also told me how hard it is to find maternity clothes for professionals, like those of us in the law field. All she wants to do is look decent while being 7 months pregnant, and it’s harder than it looks.
Are you looking to partake in a greener holiday season this year? If you are interested in saving the environment, as well as some money on your power bill, consider LED Christmas tree lights. LED lights have all sorts of advantages. First of all, they are safer than incandescent lights of the past that we’re all used to. These aren’t glass and they don’t operate at high temperatures. There is no more risk for shattered little bulbs or fires due to overheating! Best of all, they use a tenth the energy traditional bulbs do and last 25 times longer! This holiday season, do the environment and yourself a favor by going with the safe, efficient alternative: LED lights!
Rep. Pete Stark of California has never been known as one to hold his tongue. This case isn’t any different, as he takes congressional time to voice his concerns over Bush and the Iraq war, as well as the recent SCHIP veto. Watch as he brings it all together for one of the most scathing rebukes against the president to date. People are demanding his apology, and I for one stand behind his true statements. Someone needed to say it.
West Virginia delegates don’t normally get a vote on the floor, but recently they were blessed with the ability to shape policy. They will be voting on which hamburger should named after them after they saw the Senator burger at a local restaurant. Maybe it’s just the fact Robert Byrd is the senator in question. Everything in the state is named after the Senator of 600 years. I’m glad to see that cutting-edge legislation is coming from the Mountaineer State, but at least it’s not the real congress wasting time and money on these meaningless projects.
If you’ve ever wondered where your tax dollars go, here is an example. This is an old clip from before the Democrats took the Congress, but the idea is the same. Here, we have Sen. Harry Reid delivering a monotonous soliloquy about the War in Iraq. Behind him, as you can see, Sen. Robert Byrd is paying full attention. I wonder what they’d come up with if they stopped sleeping and beating around the bush? Maybe ending the war, perhaps?
