DEMOCRATS WE NEED YOU!

"I really do believe this is the most important election of our lifetime" ..."it's way to important to sit this one out"

Part of Caroline Kennedy's speech during her visit to the Villages

In other words get out and vote...

Young people only 15.3% of you have voted so far...

Today's Leo Horoscope: Oct 30, 2008

What a great day for you, dear Leo! You seem to have the innate listening abilities of a therapist or a counselor. Everyone comes to you with their problems, or just to cry on your shoulder. They know that you will listen to them without judgment. Have you ever thought about doing something like this for a living? Perhaps today will make you think about it.


***i'm here for you***

T-Minus 6 Days to Elections

Yes the post title reads "Elections" as in plural. With all the attention that has been placed on our next fast approaching presidential election, I feel that many may have over looked the congressional and senate elections that are happening in many of our states. Remember you are voting between Senator Obama and Senator McCain. Perhaps the senator that you vote for in this election could be running for president in 4 years ;)

Barack Obama Political Message

Voting is just a week away!!!!!

HUGE ad in USA Today....



UNCERTAIN TIMES REQUIRE A STEADY HAND
Our country faces enormous challenges – a failed war, a crippling deficit, and an economy in crisis. We live in uncertain times, and we need a president with sound judgment and steady leadership.
That’s why millions of Republicans across our country are rejecting the divisive politics of the past.
“We are voting for Barack Obama.”
Because we are serious about getting our government’s long-term finances in order, putting our economy back on track, ending the war in Iraq responsibly, and keeping America safe.
Because Barack Obama is bringing all of us together to reject the Karl Rove school of wedge politics and fundamentally change the way Washington Works
Because even though we’re proud to be Republicans, we are Americans first.
Now is the time for Americans to stand together. Our country faces enormous challenges and we simply cannot afford more of the same.

I would kick his ASS & then divorce Him!!

The most hilarious (and crazypants) news of the day comes straight out of Elizabethton, Tennessee, where a new father has named his newborn daughter Sarah McCain Palin.Without his wife's consent.Mark Ciptak ignored their mutual decision to name her the rather beautiful "Ava Grace," and opted for the more politically charged moniker to show his support for the Republican ticket by secretly registering the name on their baby's birth certificate. As for his wife's reaction?"I don't think she believes me yet," he told the Kingsport Times-News. "It's going to take some more convincing."--Associated PressHuh. I bet. Cause for divorce much?This er, not so minor infraction got us thinking: What could your partner do that was well, quite simply, inexcusable?

Today for the Leo...

Quickie
Someone's ego is going to get in your way, today. They aren't eager to collaborate.
Overview
It's perfectly okay for you to focus on your own issues to the exclusion of all else today. You've got plenty going on inside and need to deal with it all before you can really help anyone else!

And this applies to.....


I picked this for a certain someone and now beginning to realize this applies to us ALL!

Little Girls Can Be Betches TO!

My daughter the one who just turned 5 now thinks that she can do, say & act however she feels like. Yesterday when being picked up from school she wouldn't listen to the teacher when told to go get her bags...she screamed & kicked stomped her feet...screamed at her uncle. Sitting there listening to my Mother tell the story all I could think is who does this little girl think she is? I was going to beat her...I mean not really but I was going to spank her. But I decided that would be the easy way out & I wanted her to suffer for what she had done. I had a conversation with her and explained that I was embarassed by what she had done. Being only 5 she didn't comprehend the concept of being embarassed so I racked my brain for a way to explain this to a 5 year old & this is what I came up with. I asked her how she would feel if while she was playing on the playground at school and all your friends are watching & I came and pulled your skirt up how would you feel. In the end I got my point across. (I think). When we got home I made her go in her room & sitting at her table writing her name over & over again. I didn't let her come out to eat dinner I made her do that in her room by herself. Hopefully she learned her lesson...otherwise next time I just might end up beating her. j/k

My little Girl is no longer a Baby...She's 5


Waking up Saturday morning with a smile on my face was so wonderful. See Hailie Jade turned 5...it's one of those milestones only a mother can understand. I made her breakfast in bed & sat there while she was eating remembering the day she turned one and the baby food I sat in her crib feeding her. So much time has gone by & I have this magnificent little girl who is so smart...smarter than I could even imagine. She tied to the it's my party & i'll cry if I want to attitude...but really does anyone expect any different from her? There isn't a doubt that she is my child. Next thing I know she will be 10 then what do I do?? All I can do is pray that God takes it easy on me when she becomes a teenager.


My Little Girl is no longer a BABY! Do you know how old I feel?

So Confused...

Is he ever going to get it? Ever going to realize that one day I am going to be so over the bullshit that I am going to give up forever with my head held high? Is he? Mess up after mess up after mess up and still I forgive him...we fight, we breakup, we kiss, we makeup...I hate this mess! I love him but I don't know how much more I can seriously take from this bullshit that he keeps involving in my life. Sick of it...stressed over it & almost ready to have it out of my life.

Don't Vote McCain...

Rain Rain go Away!

Good Morning all the luckies out there that read my daily blog. Let me begin by saying I am thankful for the rain...why wouldn't I be we need water to live. But I am not thankful for the construction on 408 that has left holes, bumps and uneven pavement in the asphalt that contain a large amount of rain water that then blends in with the look of the road because it is dark outside and you are trying to keep a consitant 45 mph ; despite the ass holes who think that it is snowing outside and they are going 25 Dicks! It is amazing to me that if you wake up in the morning and realize that it is raining outside you BETTER leave 15 to 20 minutes early not because of the rain but because Fuckers just don't know how to keep there car between the lanes and drive...Anyhow, back to the construction on 408...why haven't they made the road leval isn't that the way that it is suppose to be? It's bad enough that it is raining and dark but now you have F'd up the roads as well. Either you are going to start a project & finish it within a timely basis or....don't start it at all!

In addition tonight is Hailie Jades final soccer game...So Rain Rain please go away! Come again another day!

Can't Believe I am just Finding This

Dear Mr. President

Dear Mr. President Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror Are you proud
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President Were you a lonely boy Are you a lonely boy
How can you say No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells While you pay the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
Let me tell you about hard work Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you about hard work Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you about hard work Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you about hard work Hard work Hard work
You don't know nothing about hard work Hard work Hard work Oh
How do you sleep at night How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President You'd never take a walk with me Would you
-Pink

I believe...

I believe that everything can get worse...so I won't complain to much because I cannot handle this day getting any worse.

HJ has a fever today of 101 & is out of school. (and last night told me she wants to go live w/ her Dad bc I was making her go to sleep)...CL (dare devil herself) feel down the step at the new house & bumped her head @ 6:30 am. At 8:20 the boyfriend J was calling me asking if we were together? Very disoriented because his head just went through the window of the work truck that was just involved in an accident. I spent all day trying to convience him to go to the hospital. Finally after he tells me that he has been bleeding out of his ear & I stop the paramedic at the gas station does he decide to go to the hospital. FINALLY! (what is with men & being tuff?). He leaves me to go to the house take a shower & go to the ER...here I am trying to call him 15 minutes after he left & he doesn't answer the phone...for an hour & a half...! I am freaking by now...Called R & R and my Dad to see if someone can go by & check on him...finally he calls me back to tell me to calm down he was resting then gets pissed at me because I am a wreck & told him I was fixing to leave work because I was so worried that he had fallen a sleep. Now he's pissed. & I can't help but care so much...maybe i'm better by myself???

Let someone else bask in the spotlight a while. Sing the praises of other people.

Everything comes together and you show people exactly what you can do. It's definitely your time in the spotlight and you eat it up -- though you're good about sharing credit where it's due.

Love:

Take some time today to reflect on how far you've come in your relationship. You can feel proud of what you've achieved so far and things just keep getting better.

Moving Sucks! Painting Sucks! Cleaning Sucks! Being Forgotten SUCKS!

All of which I was someway involved in this weekend.

Moved into my own place w/ the excitment barely able to stay within my body I went & picked the key up on my lunch break & began to start cleaning...still haven't stopped. Painted only 2 rooms & I was so sick of it after the first one!

Then the worst part is feeling like I have been forgotten. Everyone knew how excited I was and most people swung by to take a peek & congratualte me...but 2 VERY important people in my life did not. I'm not mad or pissed at them just my feelings are very much hurt.

On the up side...J was an amazing help...I couldn't have done it without him. Wow! I knew that I loved him before but if it is at all possible to be more in love with someone...His dedication to detail and kindness sealed the deal. I am so Glad he was with me this weekend.

I know all the cleaning, painting & moving will somehow look better w/ time...Where did my friends go?

My Daily Horoscope...

Someone knocks your socks off with something they say or do rather late in the day -- and that good impression is the right one! See if you can share your enthusiasm with them soon.

Today you may find yourself impressed by the actions of someone new. Let their positive behavior influence you to pay it forward as well. Do a good deed just for fun. Watch others follow in your example.

Love:
Show your lover how strong and adaptable you are today. A minor problem causes you to change your plans, but you'll handle it so smoothly they'll never notice anything was wrong.

I know...

I know I am a bit late in blogging my thoughts on the Presidential Debate but yesterday I was just so busy trying to tie up the few loose strings before moving.

For sure Obama took yet another one. With even having to spend all of his time defending himself against a very scared McCain, Obama kept his cool. McCain came to this final debate very much unprepared. Lying repeadtly over facts that he obviously didn't research.

I think those who didn't have there mind made up do now...& in my opinion Obama is the right choice for America.

It's the 17Th of PINKtober...

Hope you are wearing your PINK today in support of finding a cure to Breast Cancer...



I AM!

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

With the hope that everyone knows already....Tonight is the final presidential debate. Tune those TV's on to watch Obama sweep McCain once again.

With Obama still leading in the polls...this should be an easy win for him tonight. I do believe that America is ready for a change & Obama will give us just that. We can't afford another George Bush. Lets hope everyone tunes in...voting date is just around the corner.


FYI...7-Election results...
Obama 59 %
McCain 41 %

There is no law that says you can't stir things up once in a while! Be provocative.

Leo 7/23 – 8/22


Overview
There is no law that says you can't stir things up once in a while! Today, pick a controversial topic and ask someone smart what they think about it. Who knows whether any major drama will erupt or not -- but you will get a charge of out whatever happens. Hearing people's opinions is usually a great way to build your relationship with them, so choose a person to talk to who you want to spend some more time with. Flirting can be an intellectual pursuit.

Made me drink More!


Drunk Much!

The trouble I get others into when I am drunk...

LOL! R sending potential S partner a 3 am text!

Some Green tips...that also save you $MONEY$

All who know me well, know that I am trying to save the environment & so far it is me against the world. The a one woman show...LOL. Now that I am moving into my own place I thought it best to do all the things I can to go green & save me some money. I went to the OUC website and there are amazing ways to save energy & water.

The winning number is . . . 78
To keep cool during summer's heat, set your air conditioning thermostat at 78 degrees. When you leave your house, turn it up a few notches to 85 degrees or higher and plan on a savings of 6-8 percent for each degree you raise the setting. In the winter, set your thermostat at 68 degrees. (Air conditioning and heating account for more than 50 percent of the electric bill!)
Breezy does it
Installing ceiling fans throughout your home will help you stay comfortably cool. In fact, you could raise your thermostat several degrees and not feel the difference. Turn fans off in unoccupied areas.

Casey Anthony To Make First Appearance On Murder, Manslaughter Charges
Casey is now charged with the murder of her daughter Caylee Anthony, 91 days after she first reported her missing.
Casey Anthony was taken to the Orange County jail around 7:00pm Tuesday evening following her indictment on a first-degree murder charge handed up by a grand jury less than an hour earlier. Her latest mug shot looks much like her first three, keeping a straight face without any emotion.
As a mother of 2 beautiful little girls...you don't even wanna know what I think of this woman!

Bottled water has contaminants too, study finds

The study's lab tests on 10 brands of bottled water detected 38 chemicals including bacteria, caffeine, the pain reliever acetaminophen, fertilizer, solvents, plastic-making chemicals and the radioactive element strontium. Though some probably came from tap water that some companies use for their bottled water, other contaminants probably leached from plastic bottles, the researchers said.
"In some cases, it appears bottled water is no less polluted than tap water and, at 1,900 times the cost, consumers should expect better," said Jane Houlihan, an environmental engineer who co-authored the study.

The researchers recommend that people worried about water contaminants drink tap water with a carbon filter.

Batting 1,000 today...

The stars are stacked against me today....

Seriously just think I should get back into bed and sleep until tomorrow in hopes that it will get better. This always makes me think of JA infamous quote "If your Monday was good then your Tuesday is going to suck!" Betch...why did she have to curse me? LOL. Well my Monday was awesome...coming off of a fabulous weekend made it so much better...my little Ladies were doing good...my adult Ladies were doing GREAT so my life was going great! Then this morning what more can I say then OMW. Woke up 20 minutes before I have to leave. That's 10 minutes for me to get ready then 10 minutes to get the kid ready...who just has no clue wtf is going on. Stopped by my local 7-11 for my every cup counts Obama cup & forgot my money in the car...plus the air is still broken, my car needs oil...the car payment people won't stop calling...EWW>>>I guess tho it can always get worse!

Your Lovescope - Today, October 14, 2008

You dislike days like this, when your loved one seems somewhat cold and distant. Although there may seem to be a wall separating you, it is perhaps best to leave your partner alone to stew. They need to mull a few things over and will back out again to play when they know where they stand. Don't brood yourself! Go out to a movie or spend time with friends.

Mind boggling to me...

Where did Greenland get it's name from?? It is not green at all! Or Ice Land which is warm & has no Ice at all? A driveway??...when you actually Park on it? And a Parkway...when you actually drive on it?

Or a Happy Meal??? F' that! Those kids will NOT be happy when they grow up FAT!

Weekend was Fabulous....

Like I blogged on Friday this girl here couldn't have asked for betta friends...

The weekend started out Fabulous & Ended even more so...

Friday...I played the role of Soccer Mom (which I do GREAT at) we Won 7-6...went to eat at
Chick-fil-a. Which even after 4 months gone from the hell also known as Fastsigns I can't stand to eat cause the JA only ate Chick-fila or...Taco Bell (had it twice this weekend lol) anyhow, I didn't eat...Ladies had a little play time...then home... J came to the game & to eat & with the sexual frustration that I have been feeling...I felt it only right to have some of the S w/ him. It was great...!

Saturday...Got the amazing news first in the AM that I got the house...SOOO....Freaking excited I started jumping up & down like a crazy person crying...while the 4 & 2 year old (who also ride the short bus) stand staring at me thinking what the F is wrong w/ our Mom....?? 2 members of the SBHB club joined me pool side for our weekly Sun Bathing! Love it! Sunblock was put on hold for some Browning Lotion also known as "Soy Sauce" - JA quoted saying "Shit i'd wear Soy Sauce if it's going to make me brown" LOL. Taco Bell for lunch YUMM! CR & I made our way to Cowboys $6 = free beer hello of course 2 ladies who need a drink would end up there...CR needed it more than I so I volunteered for the role as DD & still had a great time. Knocked over about 6 beers all over this poor guy as I tried to give CR a hug. LOLOLOL.

Sunday...Breakfast w/ My girls...I know how I stay skinny those little ones like to eat whatever it is that I have. They have no respect for personal space I swear...But I don't mind bc I know someday soon I will miss it. Picked up the Mini Van, went & signed the lease to my new place, paid the deposit & when I arrived to pick up 2 members of the SBHB club they were taking forever...HJ repeats "Hurry Up Betches" & CL follows...(this continued late into the night...hopefully HJ doesn't repeat it at school...definetly expolsion) we picked up our second round of Taco Bell (the dumb ass' put onions on C burrito even tho I said not to like 5 times) & headed back to my house to pick up our final member & finally headed to the Southern Womens Show. While driving I was VERY surprised to find that one (not going to name names) of the members has NEVER masterbated & the other only started about 3 months ago...Hello am I the only one that started before I had actual Sex?? JA & I are soo...not ashmed about or Mbating...we actually encourage it. I've never been embarassed by it. It really just blew my mind. So we decided as a group that we are going to have an S party...get those girls w/ the times. Seriously...! I don't think I would get through being single w/out mbating.
I loved the Southern Womens Show. Who doesn't love getting FREE stuff?? Watched a fashion show put on by Fire Fighters. HJ got up on stage for a Dance contest! She did wonderful. CR fell in LOVE w/ my ladies & CL is in Love w/ her to...dropped 2 members SBHB off & D & I talked about drinking to much & pucking almost the entire way home...dropped my final member off & then the van that i wanted so keep =( .

Bush: ‘We can solve this crisis and we will’

WASHINGTON - President George W. Bush said Friday that the U.S. government's financial rescue plan was aggressive enough and big enough to work, but would take time to fully kick in.
"We are a prosperous nation with immense resources and a wide range of tools at our disposal ... We can solve this crisis and we will," Bush said in brief remarks from the White House Rose Garden.
Bush spoke as leaders of the world's leading economies gathered in Washington amid frozen credit markets, panic selling in stock markets and a looming global recession.

Bush noted that major Western economies were working together in an attempt to stabilize markets and end the spreading panic.
"Through these efforts, the world is sending an unmistakable signal. We're in this together and we'll come through this together," Bush said.

Well Mr. Thank God your Almost not our President Anymore Bush....

Two things...

1.) We wouldn't be in this economic trouble if it wasn't for you and your tremendous spending...
2.) We wouldn't be in this economic trouble if we weren't in an Unnecessary war w/ a country for there Oil...when we have our own!

Your Horoscope - Today, October 10, 2008

The lion's roar might not be as powerful today, so don't worry if it seems like no one is paying attention to you, Crystal. The key is to be the listener instead of the talker. Your emotions tend to flow in all directions, and you may not be able to get a grip on them. The harder you clench your fists, the more elusive they will be. Calm yourself down and just let the day take you where it will.

In the end it’s always the good things that matter, not the bad!

peterwknow:cica:noahkai:shesapsycho:stare-at-walls:

You are in this world to love someone. Find that someone and love them until you can’t feel anything anymore. It’s worth the pain. It’s worth the time. It’s worth giving up every piece of dignity you have. Even if it makes you look like a fool. Even if it makes you look stupid in everyone else’s eyes. Don’t ever ever ever listen to what they tell you or what they make you feel. Because in the end, we all go through the same thing. We love and hurt. We love and die. Loving is never really owning. Loving is giving everything you can and trying to give everything you cannot. You must never expect anything in return if you love. Love with all your heart and if he cannot give anything in return, learn to accept that and wait for your love to fade. Never ever hope for love to vanish. Because I tell you, it won’t. When you love someone, it will never go away. It will just fade. There will always be a little piece of your heart that will yearn for him. You cannot make it go away. You have to accept things for what they are and what they are meant to be. Learn to let go and move on. Learn to remember the good things that you’ve shared with him, even if it’s not mutual. Learn to remember the way he smells, the way his eyes look when he’s happy, the way he smiles, the way he laughs, the way he walks, the way he talks, the way he says hello and the way he says good bye. Don’t forget the memories just because he cannot give anything in return. Look back and remember the good things because in the end it’s always the good things that matter, not the bad.Learn to face rejection with dignity and grace. It will make you stronger.

Pedies....

I am all for Pedicures...actually I love them. Just something about getting your feet pampered makes any girl more relaxed than she has been for weeks. But this is a tad bit overboard. I open the News Paper today & in the Style & Trends section (front cover) is a headline story about the newest creation "Fish Pedicures"...let me dare say WTF...They call these fish "Doctor Fish" and they are from Turkey...for 15 minutes you sit w/ clean feet in a bowl of these fish that eat the dead skin off of your feet. The fish use their lips to gently exfoliate the feet....which is usually done w/ pumice stones.

This poses the question w/ all the foot fungus going around from pedicures...how do they sanitize the fish???

I say stick w/ the stones...at least those can be sanitized....

Daily Horoscope; Oct. 9, 2008

Feelings will be all over the map today with Venus trine Uranus. You may tell someone how you feel quite unexpectedly and regret this later on. One minute you will be sentimental, and then you will want to make a fresh start later.

Plastic Bags....

Many critize me for my efforts in going Green... I think of it this way...why not strive to make the Earth cleaner, healthier & better for myself, my children & really everyone. So I try my best at doing all the simple things I can think of. The biggest thing I get made fun of for is the fact that I use reusable bags when I go to the grocery store...here are 6 reasons I just came across for doing such a small thing as using a reusable bag...

1. One reusable bag can hold the same quantity as 3 to 4 filled plastic bags.
2. 12 million barrels of oil are used annually to produce plastic bags in the US alone.
3. The petroleum in 14 plastic bags could fuel an average car 1 mile.
4. The U.S. uses 100 billion bags annually.
5. It takes at least 1,000 years for a plastic bag to break down in the environment.

The Crying Game: Dealing With Tears at Work

In a Q&A session with voters the day before a 2008 presidential primary, former White House-hopeful Hillary Clinton got a little choked up during her response to a question. She didn't bawl or wail or even leave the stage to regroup in private. Her eyes watered, she continued to answer the question, and then she moved on to another topic. She handily won the primary the next day.
TV pundits and bloggers couldn't stop talking about her. Not her politics but her "show of emotion." They wondered how people would respond: Was it the end of her campaign? Was it a setback for women? Was it staged to get attention?
Her response, for what it's worth, was that her desire to improve the country kept her going during the longest presidential primary campaign in the history of the United States. Although few high profile politicians shed tears on the campaign trail, did that moment really merit all the hoopla?

"Though I don't think anyone should cry on purpose, a spontaneous cry is only damaging to the person who feels they are weak because they are crying," she says. "It is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of being human."

Particularly this article drew me in because one of my besties J whom I had the pleasure of working with for 4 1/2 years told me that she was crying at her desk. This was the girl that up holds my up most respect not only on a personal leval but a perfessional one also. See I have found myself many times crying at work. All the times that I did that I felt weak or under the men that I work among. When J told me of her insedent it finally hit me...it is not because we are weak it is because we are not only emotional women we are Human. I am glad I found this article because it is good to know that it is not only J & I that have cried at work.

Hot the Cold...

One minute he's hot...talking to me the way I want to be talked to...holding me the way I want to be held...looking into my eyes the way that just makes me melt...the moments that make it so hard for me to walk away to forget about him...

Then the next he is sooo...cold says he is going to call me back and then doesn't, we have plans for dinner & he cancels...tells me he is starting not to care...

So many reasons to not be together but sooooo....many more reasons to be together.

Just so confused...the forgiveness is beginning....

WTF??

Ok so did anyone besides me start throwing stuff at the TV watching "Soccer Mom" speak as a potential Vice President...are you kidding me? She sounded like an Un-Educated 16 year old. "Golly Gee" "Your dog gone right" "You betcha" what image was she trying to create? That of a honkey who you would love to just sit down and fish with???....that is if you could stand her voice that long. Ten times she avoided to answer the question that was asked.....7 times she stated false information regarding Obama/Biden...the lady has no right standing on that stage pretending to be something she is not. She spoke regarding the economic trouble & was shocked when Biden stated that over the last 8 years these were the worst decesions made....she put the State of Alaska in debt up to there eye balls what do you think she is going to do when she is in charge of the United States? Obama/Biden is the way to go...Biden won that one in my eyes by a mile....

I Love Quotes....

Saw this on a Church Billboard & it is very much True...

"He who Angers you, Controls you."

And I heard this one a while back from Randy Pausch the professor who had a world famous speech when he found out he was going to die...

"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want"

Now if I could just learn to live my life that way....

Heads Up Everyone

So my Momma was in town Sunday - Tuesday and she is an addictive coffee drinker...So Sunday Morning we stopped into 7-11 she grabbed a cup for her coffee & then I decided as a non-coffee drinker that I would get some hott chocolate (love it) because it was under 70 that morning it was necessary...and what do I find...its the 7-Election....where every cup counts. I got the Obama cup of course & have ever AM since then because after all EVERY CUP COUNTS.

(Ja...you know I'm talking to you LOL)
