| | In honor of the canceled Presidential Debate that was originally scheduled for tonight, I thought I might provide a transcript from my Daily Diva Debates until the real one is rescheduled.
Issue: The Campaign This October
Youngest Son: Can I go as the Grim Reaper for Halloween this year?
Me: I don't think the school allows you to be something that gruesome.
Youngest Son: I'll be a friendly Grim Reaper.
Winner: Youngest Son at first blush, but the School's Principal may ultimately prevail on this point.
Issue: Energy
Oldest Son: Can we have another sleepover tonight?
Me: No, I don't like back-to-back sleepovers during the school year.
Oldest Son: That's okay because we never really sleep anyway.
Winner: Oldest Son--I'm too tired to offer a rebuttal.
Issue: Healthcare.
Pharmacist: It's a day too early to refill that prescription with your insurance, so if you want it now, you can pay the out-of-pocket price.
Me: How much is that?
Pharmacist: $187.50. Your co-pay amount is ten bucks tomorrow.
Winner: Walgreens. (They also win on the issue of the economy because I spent twice as much by making 2 trips to pick up the prescription.)
Issue: Global Warming
Me (to 4-year-old Daughter): Please don't sit on that carton of eggs, you'll break them.
Jr. Sierra Club Member: I'm the Mommy bird keeping them warm.
Winner: Not the carton of eggs.
Issue: Social Security
22-Year-Old Nephew/House Guest: Could you call me your son or something when we're out so people don't think I'm older than I am?
Me: But then they'd think that I was older than I am.
Winner: Me. In my rose-colored world, I'm 22, and he's the old, crazy lunatic raving yelling at the television set in a room full of cats clipping coupons and old newspaper articles.
Issue: Gay Marriage
My Husband: What is up with all of a sudden guys calling me up asking what I'm wearing? How sissified is that?
Me: Yeah, sissified. But the better question is why would anyone think you'd be wearing anything other than an old Grateful Dead T-Shirt and shorts to any non-work day event anyway?
Winner: No one really wins when my husband starts giving fashion tips.
Last Issue of the Evening: Ending hunger
Me: Should I polish off that pan of brownies or resist the temptation?
Me Again: (Since no one will talk politics with me anymore) Don't do it, you'll regret it later. You know the difference between you and a pig?
Me: Um, lipstick?
Me: No, that pan of brownies.
Winner: Not that pan of brownies.

Posted by Subdiva, 10/04/08, 02:27am | | You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
| | It's perfect time to make some plans for the future and it's time to be happy. I've read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you some interesting things or advice. Perhaps you can write next articles referring to this article. I wish to read even more things about it!

Posted by Anonymous, 03/04/13, 02:47pm | | Thanks for sharing your ideas with this blog. In addition, a myth regarding the finance institutions intentions any time talking about property foreclosure is that the traditional bank will not have my repayments. There is a fair bit of time that this bank will require payments occasionally. If you are very deep inside hole, they will commonly require that you pay the payment completely. However, that doesn't mean that they will not take any sort of repayments at all. When you and the traditional bank can be capable to work anything out, the actual foreclosure method may cease. However, in the event you continue to miss payments within the new program, the property foreclosure process can just pick up exactly where it was left off. http://www.cheappenisextenders.com penis extenders

Posted by Anonymous, 05/14/13, 04:24pm | | While visiting family and friends in Amman, Jordan last week after being away for over two years, I was constantly being asked about my observations on Amman, and whether it had changed since I was last there in October 2010.During the first couple of days, I would usually respond saying I noticed more traffic, and new construction here and there. A few days into my visit, things got clearer (I'm blaming the jetlag for my delayed observation). I noticed a change, a big one. Somehow, politically-divided Ammanites were united on one issue: Syrians.Last time I visited Jordan, the annoying term the "Arab Spring" was not even coined. So, fast forward two years, I would have expected to see change along these lines, but what I saw instead was not youth marching in the streets asking for reform (to the dismay of many D.C. think tanks), but rather Jordanian citizens who are increasingly becoming concerned about the influx of refugees from their war-ravaged next door neighbor.Citigroup was the megabank that received the most taxpayer assistance during the financial crisis, a fact perhaps related to the very same lobbying practices now being used to rein in regulation christian louboutin pigalle
Posted by Anonymous, 05/28/13, 11:46am | | According to Reuters, a study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in 2011 found that "The more aggressively a bank lobbied before the financial crisis, the worse its loans performed during the economic downturn -- and the more bailout dollars it received". Now, despite its former status as the basket case of Wall Street, Citigroup and its hired guns are welcome on Capitol Hill, weighing in on and even drafting bills -- like one the House committee signed off on earlier this month, exempting several classes of derivatives from a rule intended to prevent government insurance from backstopping risky trades.I won't dispute for one second the problems of a system that demands immense amount of fund-raisers by its legislators," said Representative Jim Himes, a third-term Democrat of Connecticut, who supported the recent industry-backed bills and leads the party's fund-raising efforts in the House. A member of the Financial Services Committee and a former banker at Goldman Sachs, he is one of the top recipients of Wall Street donations. "It's appalling, it's disgusting, it's wasteful and it opens the possibility of conflicts of interest and corruption. It's unfortunately the world we live in." red bottom shoes
