I'M Back

Ok, enough is enough .

Let's get this election over and done with so I can get on with my life. It's starting to feel like the OJ trial only longer

. I have heard McCain and Palin's stump speeches so many times, I think I could stand in for either of them in a pinch.

And what's up with Joe the plumber,??? McCain's hero, who is not licensed, has a lien on his house and and out of state driver's license...HELLO. he only makes 40 grand a year so all this talk about his Taxes are BS.. And how amusing is it that he didn't even show up for the rally he was scheduled to attend on his candidate's behalf. Quite an endorsement John.

I guess his new agent had something to do with that, and maybe that is why he is so concerned now that he is a rock star and maybe climbing into a new tax bracket. Let's hope he gets high enough that he can enjoy the breaks tha the wealthy receive.

And the tax issue...what does it matter anymore now that ALL OF US got hosed by the banking industry and Wall Street . Taxes are going up regardless of who takes office.

My fear is that after Tuesday, I won't have any thing to watch on TV.

My name is Leslie and I approve this message

Jim and I had dinner Tuesday night with 2 old friends from High school. Irene, who was my best friend and his Girl friend, and BJ , who was also one of our pals. She and Jim were voted MOST FUN LOVING.

They made a special trip to see Jim because we missed our 45th re union when he was in the hospital. Irene also was here to visit her sister who lives nearby in Millsboro.

Irene is currently living in California with her husband. They have moved many times with his Company, from Manhattan, to Boston to Denver and now south of LA.
BJ lives in Harford County with her husband. Everyone has children and Grand children, including me:-)
We had a great time reminiscing and laughing about old times, and sharing our stories of a 45 year gap.. the good, the bad and the ugly.
It provoked a lot of old feelings and memories of the past, all the double dates we went on, days we hooked school together, making out at the drive in, our trips tp OC. I even took the Trailways Bus to College Park on Friday after work, to spend the weekend with Irene and Jim at UofM. Then we drifted apart and into our own worlds. I did see Jim occasionally after I was married, but he also disappeared and turned up at our 30th reunion.
I hope they stay in touch with us now that we have connected again.
