More oil spill stuff...a theory.

Hi, all...Lisa (AP) here. I told Shannon that I'd throw an occasional new post up until she gets back and I'm announcing that so she gets no blame for the fact a Glenn Beck video is getting posted here. :-D Now, I know he rubs many people wrong, but this video? Is interesting *and factual...I checked before posting it. So, have we wondered why the oil spill has been allowed to rage on until a couple of days ago and even now, they're not sounding overly optimistic this is a real fix? We have wondered why the Jones Act has not been waived, why other countries who have been saying all along that they can cap this spill haven't been allowed to help us? Well, we DO have to ask ourselves why, don't we? Who stands to gain by the spill continuing, becasue someone gaining is the only logical answer, isn't it? Now, I'm not saying this is the reason but if anyone has a better one, please jump in and share it. PLEASE. Because this is the best and most logical reason I've found and it sickens me. Thoughts?

Lindsay said...: Well, shoot AP. Thanks a lot! If that doesn't bring me out of lurkdom.

I'm so mad about so many things I saw in this piece, I could spit. So let me get this straight. We are loaning money that we borrowed from another country (obviously seeing as our national debt is so deep we'll never get out of it in our lifetime), we loaned that money to a company that is going to do something the administration deems not responsible, the profits from said drills will be shared amongst big time stock holders (Soros) and the Brazilian people, Americans will buy this oil and barely a dime will be seen of it in the American economy, the administration added 2 entire paragraphs to a document *after it was given approval during a peer review, thus misleading the American public *and twisting the words of the people who signed the review, and the jobs and money lost in the gulf region during this time is staggering.

What a cluster! And I'm so disgusted.

Oh, and hi!; July 16, 2010 at 7:04 PM

Here's what snopes had to say. When I see anything these days I read what the right has to say, what the left has to say and then assume the truth is somewhere in the middle. I don't trust our govt anymore - sad.

Lisa said...: Hi, Lindsay! And I agree that Beck put his own spin to certain things here, no question. He usually does. But in tghe end, certain facts remain the same...our government (as opposed to Obama signing an order) loaned that money for drilling. And while it's correct there were no Obama appointees on the bank board, Obama could have had this stopped and chose not to. It doesn't matter who appointed them, that being the case. We also don't know what transpired to cause the appointees to approve this since, while appointed by Bush, it was approved under Obama's presidency. I could go on and on since I'm *really shocked at Snopes on this one, but I'll just point out one more thing...it implies that EX-Im Bank isn't a government agency. No, it doesn't *dsay that but it's implied. Except their website is exim.GOV. So, no taxpayer dollars involved? How do they figure *that? Anyway...I'll hush. But now we may see why someone has a vested interest in drilling and oil ending in the Gulf, thereby forcing it all to move elsewhere (Brazil), don't we? And what better way that to allow this horrible thing to continue so that Americans all but beg for drilling to stop so this never happens again. Nifty how it works out, if so, isn't it? :-/

And totally unrelated, Margaret, I got my charm and ohhh, it's so pretty. I knew it would be but it's even prettier than I expected! Thank you so very much...I love it and everyone should get one! :-); July 16, 2010 at 9:10 PM

I've started the couch to 5k program. I'm on day 2 and my shins and lower back are killing me. But it's the only workout I can do with Richard. Just put him in the stroller and go.

Any luck at the garage sales, Mulie?

I so need to get motivated to do MST (Many Small Things) around here that I've been putting off. I now have 2 cups of coffee and a diet Mt.

Raisins in cornbread? I'd have never thought of that but gosh, it would be good for breakfast with molasses on top! Or with pork. Yumn, thanks, Margaret!

Shana, I do love trying anything new...it's sort of a hobby. And Miss Arse is doing well now, still doing tons of drops and not able to bend over or lift, but she feels really good and is excited to get moving on the other surgeries! Thanks for asking. How are you feeling?; July 17, 2010 at 6:06 PM

AP - interesting, and I would've tried it too but I'm not big on fatty stuff. Love the cat and love the story about her hitting the other cats.

Shana said...: Hey Kristin *waving frantically*

I'm ok. I saw a pancreas/GI specialist yesterday & started some new meds. Now it's a waiting game & I'm just along for the ride. Thanks for asking!; July 17, 2010 at 6:47 PM
Lisa said...: FFS, I'm so disgusted, I can't tell you. A down the street neighbor stopped by just now to see if I wanted any gardening tools she was giving away. I asked her why she was giving her tools away and she told me that she and her husband had made the decision to "give their house back to the bank" and had started cleaning out this weekend. Long story short, she and her husband both have good, secure jobs and they've got three kids (two under 4 and one about 9). Since they owe nearly double what their house is worth now, even though they can afford the payments without a big problem, they made the decision to "walk away from a bad and unfair investment" and rent a home her dad owns for far, far less than their mortgage payment. And the other "plus side" is that she can now be a stay at home mom. What the hell? She's damn excited about all of this...sees nothing in the world wrong or dishonest about it. Just the opposite, she seems proud they figure out how to accomplish everything they want. It's like JM all over again. What is wrong with people? Why have we lost nearly all moral sense in this country? Ugh...anyone want a glass of wine with me?; July 17, 2010 at 6:47 PM
Lisa said...: Damn, Shana, anyone one has to see a specialist, they are not really okay. I"m awfully sorry and hope they can help you.

Kristin, stay in and nap in this weather. It's too hot to go out unless you just have to.; July 17, 2010 at 6:49 PM
kristin said...: It's funny you say that AP b/c that is exactly what I did. Since LM decided to wake up before the butt crack of dawn (before 5:00) - we both had a nap, his longer than mine. It was nice.; July 17, 2010 at 7:00 PM
Lisa said...: I think I'm headed that way myself. It's late to nap, but I'm very tired and cranky. A nap may help. And before 5 AM? I smell someone who needs a butt-busting. ;-); July 17, 2010 at 7:17 PM
Shana said...: Wow...that is what I call a screwed up view of reality. They are just going to "give it back" huh? Because they are just such nice people. They really appreciate the bank letting them live there for this long. They decided that they just can't accept such a nice gift. Pssshht! Whatever makes you feel better. That is asinine.

I agree about the specialist. I just don't ever know what to say! I had to go to the ER a few weeks back & when the doctor walked in & shook my hand & introduced himself, he said "Hi, I'm Dr. So n' So, how are you tonight?" I said, "Fine. How are you." Lol! I get asked several times a day "How are you today?" My answer is always, "I'm ok." It's just easier & more polite & my way of not complaining.

Holy Moley! Before 5 on a Saturday...YUCK!!; July 17, 2010 at 7:20 PM

Anonymous said...: Shana, I'm so sorry you're not feeling well.
I saw something yesterday that said the #1 lie people tell is "I'm fine".

AP, your neighbor - arg!!! I know the banks played a role in what's happened in this country but so did people like that. People know when they are living beyond their means. Then, those of us who live responsibly have to share in their debt.; July 17, 2010 at 8:08 PM
Lisa said...: Shana, I guess you could always startle people by telling them the truth when they ask. ;-)

When she said "giving it back", that's *exactly how she sounded - like the bank should be grateful or something. This area is full of situations like this, though, and I really don't blame the banks at all. Yes, they offered a lot of creative and tempting financing back when the boom was happening but any reasonable adult knows what they can and cannot afford. And if they don't, it's still their fault. What we've got happening is banks selling these houses cheap to investors, current clients in good standing, who promptly rent them out, often taking Section 8. That's bringing in a class and type of people that bring a neighborhood down fast and lowers all of our property values even more. When people default, the long-range repercussions extend way beyond their own situations and off into innocent people like Margaret said. :-(

I'm in such a foul mood now.; July 17, 2010 at 9:12 PM
Karen said...: Hi Daisy's! Been super busy getting things ready to have a yard sale next weekend, and have a few things for sale on Craigslist - but no offers yet on those - if they don't sell I'll just take them to my son's and try selling them at the yard sale! My 2 oldest grandsons have a birthday party tomorrow - Klaye is 8 and Tucker is 4. Got them matching super soaker water guns today - I can't wait til they get them, they will have alot of fun and keep cool playing with them I think! I've parked myself in the recliner and am having a hard time getting up to even get myself another cup of coffee! Its been so hot and humid - I think that it just sucks all the energy out of me!!

Giving your house back to the bank is just so irresponsible, I don't know how a reasonable adult couple think that is the the right thing to do. I just can't comprehend it!; July 17, 2010 at 9:47 PM
Muliebrity said...: I did a blog post last week about the mortgage mess.; July 18, 2010 at 10:14 AM
Lisa said...: Good morning!

Mulie, I went to read your post...interesting. I don't necessarily agree about blame when it comes to people making a bad decision and not doing their research before buying...I don't blame the banks at all for that...but I do blame the banks for allowing loans that they knew couldn't work long-term. As for the PMI funds, I know not all lenders were requiring that. Also, many lenders actually found a way to add the cost of the PMI into the actual house payment, which means it doesn't get paid if the buyer defaults. In the end, most people who have defaulted and had PMI never paid enough into the PMI fund to cover the cost of the loss on their property.

Did you like selling mortgages? When I worked for State Farm, I sold bank products too, as well as insurance. I never enjoyed mortgages at all but I know some really loved doing it.; July 18, 2010 at 11:16 AM

Muliebrity said...: What I wrote was in defense of the people who got in over their heads, not dumb asses like your neighbors.

I just know a lot, A LOT, of people who were encouraged to borrow more then they could afford. They were not given the information about fixed interest loans. These brokers, loan officers and RE agents were greedy and unethical.

I worked in the industry and almost got taken. When we moved to MD, all the houses in the price range we thought we could afford were ghetto and small. Our agent said HER lender could get us in a higher priced house and my husband really wanted to that. We talked to that lender, but I could not figure out how they could do that. I spent years figuring income, DTI, and LTV, and when she told me what they could qualify us for, it didn't make sense to me. It wasn't until we got the paperwork 3 days later, that I finally saw they wanted to do an ARM loan. Ummm. Hell no. I know our RE did his to about 10 more people that we knew of.

Some people just don't know what their options are and many RE agents are just as uneducated or they are snakes, in it for an extra buck.; July 18, 2010 at 11:41 AM
Lisa said...: "I looked like this yesterday at the grocery store!"

Lol, then you looked pretty damn good because I didn't see a lot wrong with that outfit.

And I know you were writing that in defense of consumers but I just can't defend those who walked into these loans. It's their responsibility and no one else's to know what they can afford. I've seen the paperwork they were doing and know the tactics - I've mentioned another friend here who walked into a 2 year ARM *and they used her child support as income. It was all right there in the (yes, very dry, long, boring) paperwork, but people like her were so damn intent on getting what they wanted right then and there that they stuck their heads in the sand and planned on dealing with it all later. Like in 2 years. Especially with the internet in our daily lives, there is no excuse, imo, for walking into one of those loans except that you chose to. No one else is to blame. If a person is so stupid as to sign something they don't read and/or understand that concerns the biggest purchase they may ever make in their lives and so stupid as to not have a real estate attorney look it over if they don't understand it, then it's on them. And if they did understand it and chose to do it anyway, like this friend I've talked about before, and just "fix" it all later, same thing. They can't blame someone for offering them a bad deal since the choice to take it or not, ultimately, is theirs. It's just another lack of personal responsibility, imo, for consumers to blame the lenders for their own poor choices.; July 18, 2010 at 12:29 PM

They will be on the left side of my upper back, and one is a little higher than the other, like as if they are walking. Then the one that is higher(Brookelyn's) will have her name under it, and Ella's will have her name over it.

There are so many people looking for instant gratification in their marriages instead of wanting to stick through the rough times and work it out. It's more convenient to say "screw it, let's get divorced". It really makes me sad to hear that people aren't staying together anymore like they were 20 years ago. It seems to me that the people that have been married for 20 years or more are the minority.; July 19, 2010 at 10:40 AM

PJ said...: We're seeing lots of younger people who are more committed to their marriages than in previous generations - like REALLY committed - because they're parents got divorced and they don't want to go there.

But, if you go back historically, women couldn't divorce their asshat husbands because they needed them to support them. Can you imagine being stuck in a miserable, emotionally and/or physically abusive marriage and not be able to leave because you wouldn't survive. No job skills, the shame that came from divorce.

I guess I'd rather women have the power to leave a bad marriage rather than no power.; July 19, 2010 at 11:57 AM
Lisa said...: Hey, I lost all my links in my reformat - can someone send me the link to Fellowship?

As for divorces, I'm agreeing with everyone else here. It's too easy, people expect instant gratification and perfection without work and when it doesn't happen, they don't try. They just walk away. Also, divorce has lost the stigma it once had, as CK said. While I'm glad for that to a degree, I also think maybe it's gone way too far and a little stigma attached wouldn't be a bad thing.; July 19, 2010 at 12:57 PM

http://fellowshipwithushere.blogspot.com

I think yall are on to something with women being able to support themselves now unlike in the past. We have come along way even in just the last 30 years.

I also think people in general are so caught up with "being somebody" and trying to keep up with the Jones' that the focus isn't on family and making things work. I have a feeling there will be a lot of people from my generation sitting around in their 70's wondering why they have no one to come visit them or change their diapers, and they will wish they had worried more about taking their children out for icecream instead of trying to impress the neighborhood.

That's my 2 cents.; July 19, 2010 at 2:41 PM
Lisa said...: Jeanette, I like how it looks like their feet are walking together! Very good idea. So, was it what you expected? Better, worse?; July 19, 2010 at 2:48 PM
Jeanette said...: Do you mean the design or the actual process?

The design we had drawn out was a bit different, but when we went to apply the stencil we decided to make some changes. Other than the idea, I gave him free rein to do what he thought was best. I wanted the names in pink but he thought it would look better in black with a pink glow, and I think he was right. I absolutely love it.

The process was way better than I expected. I had myself so worked up I could have puked. It was a little uncomfortable when he was working at the top of my back where the skin gets tender, and then again at my shoulder blade, but in between those points it was actually quite relaxing! If I had drank a glass of wine beforehand I probably could have dozed off a bit ;); July 19, 2010 at 2:58 PM
Lisa said...: I meant the process. I figured you'd know what you were getting design-wise. :-) The black with a pink glow seems like a better idea, agree...the pink could fade into your skin in time. I'm glad it was easy for you, though. How long did it take him?; July 19, 2010 at 3:14 PM

lol AP, I have no idea. I was googling away and my kid was telling me she was hungry so I knew I needed to get up, so I just looked at the google results and took the first name that jumped out at me, lol.; July 19, 2010 at 3:37 PM
Anonymous said...: Deb - link away! I'll be giving the money to the Food Bank for a while. I was reading today how not only do these people not have jobs but they also ate a lot of fish so it's a double whammy. When I sent the check I wrote a note on it that I would like it to go to the people of Bayou La Batre. This is a recent video of what the Food Bank is doing there.

Hahaha AP - Peeing like a Mule!

All is well in my world - just wanted to check in here! Shannon come back - we miss you!!

had a bday party this past weekend for two oldest grandsons - 8 and 4.

My son turns 28 on Wed.

I'm 48.

I told my 8 year old grandson that he and his dad are 20 years apart. I am 20 years older than my son, and 40 years older than my grandson. He said "oh"

LOL Guess I was more impressed with the random numbers thing than he was!! LOL; July 20, 2010 at 1:26 AM

Muliebrity said...: "Mulie - I have heard Watermelon is a natural diuretic."

I think there is a good chance that is true. All the motrin I have been taking for this crazy neck-shoulder-arm-thing has been messing with the natural "flow" of things, so I was hoping that would help, but no such luck! I have been in so much pain the past few days, that I am seriously considering acupuncture and massage. My OB said I can take muscle relaxers if I need them, but they are largely untested in breastfeeding, so I have been reluctant. I am getting desperate though.; July 20, 2010 at 10:01 AM

I ended up getting a bunch of stuff at the Dollar Tree and putting everything in to hot pink chinese take out boxes that I got from Walmart. We did lipgloss, little girl press on nails, gum, notepads with each girls first initial, some airheads candy and mini Reese's peanut butter cups. Plus each girl took home a pedicure kit that they had used the night before.; July 20, 2010 at 11:16 AM

Melissa said...: We did cupcakes for her sleepover and then the girls put whatever toppings they wanted on them. (we had gummy bears, sprinkles, red hots and a few other things)

I did do a cake for her "family" party that we had on Sunday. I wasn't happy with it but everyone else seemed to like it. I'm going to blog about it later on today sometime.; July 20, 2010 at 11:20 AM
Anonymous said...: I have not been to their store but I heard it's super cute. There is also a new cupcake truck (like ice cream truck) that rides around DC. I'm going to make Deb's crab cupcakes for my mom's birthday next week. I'm not much of a baker but I figure I'll be ok.; July 20, 2010 at 11:39 AM

Lisa said...: Hi! Appointment went great for Miss Arse...he says her eye is looking great and reduced her drops by nearly half. Now it's only 9 a day! He's convinced her to have the corneal transplant surgery, too. She so badly wants to be able to read a book for fun again and he tells her she'll be able to with Dollar Tree reading glasses, just like any other 82 year old. She's sold. Went to get my new glasses and they weren't right...something is off with the prescription so hopefully it's not an omen of things to come with my mail-order glasses.

Melissa, that party sounds like a big success - I'm glad!

"RQ - should I start some drama today just so we have something to talk about?"

Oh, hell, yes. I'll even pay you.

I say they Photoshopped those 3 screens so no one knew they shut them down with photographers in the building. They showed something bad. Alternately, the original photo was Photoshopped to take out the ugly part, they realized it looks bad being blank, so the PSed other crap back into it.; July 20, 2010 at 5:12 PM

Melissa - I wanna go to your next girlie party! That sounded like SO much fun and perfect gifts for the girls.

What's up with Robin? Hope all is well.

I was out for awhile due to work stretch and just some stuff going on here - like NO water -(well pump went out). No biggie, pump is fixed and the animal troughs are full again.

Shannon - we miss you!; July 20, 2010 at 8:17 PM
Deb said...: AP - I'm so glad Miss Arse had a good checkup! When would they do the transplant, soon? That would be *awesome!

We had some wild weather today, our area was under a tornado warning! Sent the kids to the basement while I watched the weather on the news and radar on line. It was pretty intense, but no tornado thankfully!

I am a picky eggroll eater. I only like one kind from a certain restaurant around here. Yes, I'm an eggroll snob.; July 20, 2010 at 8:17 PM

KaytieJ said...: Oh Deb - you made me just remember a Vietnamese restaurant we went to in Georgetown. They had the best Vietnamese Egg Rolls there. (I know you aren't in DC).

Yeah, I need to get my butt off of here for a bit. Mark took the girls w/him to get his haircut. Kathryn said she wanted hers cut too, so my little girl may have a shorter doo when they get home!; July 20, 2010 at 8:30 PM

Kaytie, glad that water is back on. I'd rather have no power than no water.

Deb, you are having some weird, weird weather...glad this batch wasn't too eventful. I am very jealous of basements during storms since I don't have one. And how is her hair?

Kaytie-Everyone's welcome at my parties. I'll be sure to let you guys know about the next one in case anyone wants to take a road trip.
That stinks about having no water. I figured that your lack of posting was due to working. :(

AP-Sooo glad that Miss Arse's eye issues are improving. Hoping that you don't have any problems with your mail order glasses. Will you be able to return them if there's a problem?

Thanks everyone for the nice comments about the party/favors.

Deb, I saw something brewing...they're saying we'll get heavy rain. Well, that ought to make for fun times with my leaky roof. I'll take it, though...this nearly 100 and no rain crap is killing me. I've lost my lawn, I think. It doesn't look like it'll come back well, if at all. And who needs stinkin' batteries? I've got candles and a crank up radio. ;-)

Robin, I did not get a recipe yet. Do you have one?

Sandy, how is C. today?

And if Shannon doesn't make it back today, I'll put a PayPal button up so we can all donate to get her a new one. :-D; July 21, 2010 at 11:22 AM

I think the Nap Nanny is expensive, too. Mulie, call an upholstery shop and ask them if they can cut you a wedge of medium density foam. I'm sure they can and you could wedge it under her and accomplish the same thing for probably $10 or less! Poor baby, though, how miserable she must be.

Muliebrity said...: The thing about the nap nanny is that I can resell it on ebay for about $80-$100 bucks when I am done using it, but I haven't gotten it yet because of the rather expensive price. There is a pack-in-play that has a reclining mat for around the same price. I have been putting her in the car seat, but studies have shown that it can reduce O2 levels and I don't like having her in it when I can not keep an eye on her.; July 21, 2010 at 12:06 PM

She's tall, blonde, conservative, Christian, shuns jeans that don't cost $100 or more and I secretly think she might be one of the Real Housewives of Orange County.

Lisa said...: Mulie, I was just reading about the carseats and 02 levels. The problem is that in a car, the seats are required to be upright and it's that position that can cause a drop in 02 levels. The positioning of the baby causes its chest to compress, they claim. Of course, they're in that same position in slings and often while being held so yeah, I'm skeptical. Anyway, it appears that a car seat tilted back at home instead of in the upright, required position should be fine for her.; July 21, 2010 at 12:41 PM

Actually with the two older boys growing like weeds, they are dipping into my clothes fund! How dare they! LOL And my middle is like his mother...it's all my fault, I know...; July 21, 2010 at 4:51 PM
Lisa said...: Kaytie, you and Tammi have actually "met" before. That time several years ago I accidentally included Kay on the email loop? Tammi, this is the same Kay and Kay, Tammi is part of that bunch. :-); July 21, 2010 at 4:54 PM
Lisa said...: I just had the rudest sales clerk at Walmart. I needed some paint mixed and it's a color match but I've had the same one matched before so I brought the lid in to make it easy. She looks at me all attitude-y and says "I *hate color matching." Well, do I look like I care? No, I do not. So I said "And I hate kimchee, but neither matter in this case." Bitch. Um, her, not me. :-D; July 21, 2010 at 4:57 PM
KaytieJ said...: Oh! I do remember that AP! And so, Hello Again, Tammi!

Yuck to attitudy store clerks. So...what are you painting?; July 21, 2010 at 5:27 PM
Tammi said...: Did ya bitch slap her? I have no patience for snippity clerks. Home Depot I tell ya...they are great for paint and matching. And the prices are about the same.; July 21, 2010 at 7:08 PM
Lisa said...: First time I've ever had a rude salesclerk at Walmart that I can remember. Dumb bitch.

I'm repainting the outside of my house and using Walmart paint (had great luck with it in the past) to go over very expensive, supposedly very good Valspar Elastomeric paint that didn't hold up like I expected. It's like $13 a gallon so hey, it is what it is. :-)

Oh, Karen, I think you've asked me twice now and I keep forgetting to answer, but no, I can't return the glasses if they don't work out, unless it's a problem that is their fault. I got the new, corrected ones from the eye doctor today and they just reset the lenses...apparently they were set in crooked. I see better now. :-); July 21, 2010 at 7:18 PM
KaytieJ said...: AP - Kudos for seeing straight (ummmm...that did not sound so good, but you know what I mean) :-D

Anyhoo, hair appointment tomorrow. I am in the mood to go blonde...and short. For those that know me, this is a major event :-D; July 21, 2010 at 10:07 PM
Lisa said...: Holy shit, Kaytie, are you really going to do it? That's brave but I think it might look good on you!

I've been reading at MWOP...I've got a real double rainbow picture I should post. Just to show off, you know. ;-); July 21, 2010 at 11:32 PM
Tammi said...: It's summer, cut it! :::says the woman who won't cut her hair::: LOL

And you can't go wrong being blonde :::hair toss::; July 21, 2010 at 11:34 PM
