Comments: Looks like the stock market is going to close UP today. Wait -- there'a a minute left. Things could change.
Comments: Keep in mind that next month you have to actually ask for another tax filing extension, but the Turbotax glitch sounds like a valid reason. Speaking of taxes, is the new 10% tanning bed tax impacting you much yet? I understand that you really go just in case some nekkid babe forgot to get out before you, but you still have to pay. Keep forcused on the big picture, however. It's just a part of Obamacare designed to help.........I forget what good it's supposed to do, but it's supposed to generate $2.7B, which is then spent on.....I forget!
Comments: Speaking of "Medicare", Sam, I got an email last week from TurboTax advising me there was a glitch in their tax program and suggesting I may want to file an amended return. Somehow Turbotax was placing premiums paid for Medicare in two different schedules and in essence double-counting the amount. Thus, one may have deducted too much for medical expenses and might owe additional taxes. In my case, I still haven't filed my '09 taxes, but otherwise I'd be ticked off about the situation. For once procrastination paid off.
Comments: For the Medicare crowd, which now includes the Class of '63, we got a new Medicare & Medicaid leader yesterday, who by the way, is a big proponent of medical redistribution and rationing of health care. Dr. Don Berwick was appointed in April by big "O", but had not been confirmed. No problem, let Congress recess, as it has, and put him in with a recess appointment. Uh, that's what "O" did yesterday. To heck with that public scrutiny stuff! Gee whiz, I hope that my mentioning it doesn't cause any more foot stomping and taking marbles and going home. #12, sorry about that replacement surgery. We only have 10 of those allocated this month, and much better candidates than you! Tough luck. Next!
Comments: At our ages, taking 5 steps is a challenge in itself! Hmmmm...visualizing a John-Kebab, and it's not a pretty picture. Thanks for the intervention, Dru!
Comments: Jud, SOMEWHAT addicted? You may need about a 5-step program. JS, please thank Dru for saving you from a possible skewering, which is worse than posting on some of the other SOC websites.
Comments: Dang that Dru and her ill-timed knee replacement! Once again I have to cancel my ticket to Pamplona the day before the Running of the Bulls commences! How many years has something off-the-wall nixed my plan? http://www.sanfermin.com/index.php/en/sf10/6-julio
Comments: In spite of my earlier post, I am somewhat addicted to "Survivor."
Comments: You are so naive. ha.
Comments: Pardon me. I've been laboring under the belief that they had no plots.
Comments: Bill, please don't discourage Cynthia from a lucrative career as a reality show plot-writer.
Comments: Cynthia, there is always some kind of Law and Order show on 24/7!
Comments: Edit Reality Shows are
Unreal Fake Time-Wasters ETC
Comments: I am with you Bill and Jud but like I said, need to get a life - nothing else on TV. Although I do enjoy Dr. Oz and Castle. Well, like Monk too but only get it at 12:30 am whenever they want to do re-runs - kinda hard to catch many of them for a working gal.
Comments: I'm with you, Bill. They should be called Unreality Shows.
Comments: Bill, are you using "Shows" as a verb or a noun?
Comments: Reality Shows
Comments: Cynthia, you are an excellent reality show plot writer. Hollywood is calling you!
Comments: John and Lynell - you have given me a good chuckle to start my day - thanks. What a waste of time - a winer and a fake. Makes you want to go back to radio - well, almost. And those lead in scenes last week - sure thought there was a wrong turn somewhere that a home town visit is evident for Frank now and then the next preview looks like another gal in the view at home....oh my to get a life sure would be nice compared to all this stuff. Just wait - Ali will pick no one and she and Jake will get back together long enough to get their careers going....
Comments: Ah, Lynell ... gormet, indeed! ![]()
Comments: Of course I picked up on that vibe from Vienna. From beneath those black roots, she beamed your name mentally across the airwaves. But I think that mystery phone call was from HEB Stores to let you know your favorite gourmet food item is on sale this week.
Comments: Lynell, was it just me ... or did you pick up on Vienna's vibes about me during the Bachelorette interview last night? She never actually said the words "John Southworth" but clearly the innuendo was there ... simmering below the surface. How could Jake not pick up on it? To make matters worse, Dru intercepted a message left on our answering machine late last night - simply saying "Johnny ... Vienna here. Call me.". Awkward! [Move over, Adrienne Barbeau]
Comments: John, I wish your Cousin Sam had thought of his brilliant plan BEFORE Tiger's love life became public. Elin's reportedly getting $700 million for silence. (Good for her, I say.) Just half of that would go a long way toward funding my lifestyle. I'd take the whole SOC group on a cruise on my yacht. Gee, everyone thought Jake and Vienna had found true love with someone other than themselves. What a surprise to find it didn't work out for them. I think they both may have dodged a bullet.
Comments: John, I have an idea for total funding of the SOC '62 50th reunion, which will occur the same year we elect a new president. We package juicy stories and take bids to squash the stories forever, for a fee. I'm confident we can raise enough money to take the entire class on a cruise for the reunion. Or, to take it a step further and create a sustaining fund, we could do the same for the Class of '63. I think we could possibly thereafter offer college scholarships to our grandchildren with some of the proceeds. What a concept!
Comments: I'm on the WiFi connection at Dru's knee rehab hospital. Hope they cut her session short today so's I can get home and take a little pre-Bachelorette nap before the big show at 7:00pm. Tonight's episode takes them to Portugal and Tahiti where it appears that guy with the glasses dumps her. What a dog! Also, there is a bonus interview with Jake and Vye-Eena as they dish out the dirt on each other as to why their "engagement" is off. Oh, man - I can hardly wait. It's almost as juicy as the SOC '62 Guestbook.
Comments: In only six years, my 4Runner will qualify for vintage plates. Cool! John, that's one snazzy looking rig with that B&W plate. Charlotte, I was concerned about you two, as I pictured you firing bottle rockets off that high deck. You are gonna scare the bears!
Comments: John, is that a vintage car? Car's that are 20 years or older can have vintage plates...We got permission to put authentic 1962 plates on our corvette. I found the plates at an antique shop.
Comments: "Fireworks are prohibited in The Woodlands" (at least according to the signs at the entry of most neighborhoods). But hot cars are allowed! Hey, what's up with these new Texas license plates? Are they legit? Reminds me of the retro black & white tags of the 1950's: ![]()
Comments: I meant beautiful fireworks viewing....we did not shoot fireworks off the deck...LOL
Comments: Great Fire Works off our top deck!! BEAUTIFUL! |
