yeah I'd say so

Our Representatives at work just passed H.R.3270 - America's Cup Act of 2011
To facilitate the hosting in the United States of the 34th America's Cup by authorizing certain eligible vessels to participate in activities related to the competition.

holey moley....

wow, that bill was REALLY important......

I am beginning to think that the Occupy people are right . . .

Think again.

Haven't made up my mind.

Check the number of arrests, assaults, attempted rapes, arson, destruction of property...

Happy Birthday Victor's Dad!

I'd like to ask to send some well wishes our way, David and Lindsey are trying to buy a house, they had an offer accepted and signed a contract, but before it was processed by the lawyers, a higher offer came in, so they lost that house. They were really bummed.

They are making another offer on a house today, so if you can all send positive thoughts, we'll appreciate it. The first house was 1 mile from me, this one is 2 miles. I'm hoping but trying not to get excited yet.

Good luck to them!

Beaming the best of good wishes for them! How nice for you if they end up so close to you, and for them, of course! :)

Thanks, I know, I love that they want to be close, or at least don't want to be far away!

Close enough to drop off the laundry!

Boy, does that say a lot about YOU! I don't think any of us are surprised though. :)

I don't do laundry, taught David when he was around 10 to do his own.

Fingers crossed for the house.

1st house wasn't meant to be, hope they get the 2nd one

Anyone heard from WC????

He has not renewed.

I was thinking about him the other day

Deb - close enough for you to drop off your laundry?! ^_^

Now that's a plan!

I was telling them maybe it was meant to be and they'd find something better.

Is WC on the other site?

sending positive vibes.

Haven't seen him on the other one, does anyone have his personal e-mail? send him the link

Happy Bday, Victor's dad

Best wishes on the house. That will be nice for them to do your laundry..... ;)

I am in contact with WC.

up for renewal myself
good luck with the kids debi - hope they get the home they want!

Good luck to the kids, hope they get this house. Like jen said...the first one was not meant to be.

I mentioned WC about 10 days ago, I was missing his post then. :(

Victor: I believe the Occupy caus was just when it started.I am surprised it took this long for the 'nut-jobs" and professional crowd -protest ers to take over.
I remember the 60's anti-war and womens issues protests. professionals showed up and the focus changed.I wonder if they arent hired by the banks to disolve the crowds.

Debi: DD #2 works in realestate.She says buying and selling a house are as stressful as death and divorce. David has stamina,he can hang in there.My best vibes to both of them.

Thanks everyone, Jo it certainly has been stressful for them. David is smart too, and even though I encouraged him to increase his other offer, he didn't think it was worth it so didn't.

Life isnt easy.

Its been a half hour and I Cruised the News. I rarely watch it these days of The Murry trial and Occupy ers.
It occured to me the media loves screamers.

If anyone really wants to raise their bloodpressure over govt. deals and injustice,rent or watch Gasland. Its a documentary about the oil companies leases to drill for natueral gas( fracturing).

At best, they have been absolute hypocrites, Jo. They are very choosy about whom to blame. They have no problem when celebrity 1 percenters, who happen to share their politics, come to 'support' them. Their actions and affiliations are in direct conflict with what they say they are against.

Back to WC - he says hello to all. He misses the forum. He had some minor surgery recently and is recovering fine. I will be meeting up with him sometime soon.

I agree Victor

David just told me they have an accepted offer, but as he learned last time, it's not final til closing.

Just saw The Ides of March. Interesting and well acted but unsettling.

Fingers crossed, Deb!

We really lucked out - found our house on the first day.
