Still waiting for that bounce from the perky one.

Convention bounce. Big Whoop.

CNN Poll of Polls: Obama's Lead Shrinks to Just One Percent –
44% to 43%. That 13% undecided vote is fair game and anybody's guess. Those guys were not terribly swayed by the debutante debut. CNN’s most recent poll consists of three surveys: CBS (September 1-3), Gallup (September 4-6), and Diageo/Hotline (September 2-4). This poll does not have a sampling error. It was taken in the middle of the pub RNC euphoria. 2-point bounce, not unexpected and not all that impressive. According to this poll, 50% mark has not been broken.
Since people change their minds daily, polls notoriously are not terribly reliable until they stabilize, which typically happens as the elections draws closer. More telling is the trend in the electoral map which is an indicator that will trump voter polls and opinion polls. Poll swap posts are a waste of time and will not effectively take focus off the issues at hand, especially with the serious blow to the economy this past weekend's FMFM news brings to light.
That could work, PK.
but hey where do you work now
exMQMT? if you do not mind that is. Thanks!
Sam, please let me know where you work.
I am an excellent MT who would love to have enough free time to post messages on this board all day long, but the companies I work for require me to spend most of my day transcribing. I would love to find a company who would allow me the freedom that you have to spend hour-after-hour posting to my little heart's desire. Please point me in the right direction, as I would love to be as free as you are to repeatedly force my opinions on everyone who reads the MTStars board. You can e-mail me if you would like to keep this confidential. I want to be just like you!!!!!
no thanks, does not work for me.
I will never agree with you no matter what you say or do on this board -
As far as taxing rich democrats, I remember President Clinton objecting to not being taxed and coming forward that he was against that from the beginning.
{You really think it is fair for those who have been successful to redistribute their money to other people? Be punished for success? I do not get that mindset}
- hey you are trying to convince someone who is older than 50 that I do not deserve anything for my hard work for some 30+ years, not going to happen.
I am from the days when employers had to pay you what you were worth, health insurance, full benefits, etc etc. You will never ever convince me I am better off just by repeating it over and over.
Sorry, not interested in any how, any way or, any time for rich corps to have the right to make me work twice as hard for less, so they can send the majority of work overseas to avoid paying people decent wages or by contributing anything except by their own will to anything in this country at their own discretion. If I am forced to pay taxes, they should be also.
trickle down theory, what has trickled down to the middle class but hardship, suffering, back to slave labor and poor working conditions...
Sending work overseas and all the side-effects from that directly affects me and my family and our quality of life.
Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice - not.
I have done all the work.....all you have to do

Not quite sure how that will work
but I think he meant that they would look at the value of a house and renegotiate the mortgage based on the new value of the house since values have gone down. That way people aren't upside down with owing more than their home is worth. He isn't just going to buy up and pay for these mortgages.
I know who most will have to work for
The government.....sadly enough. That is socialism for ya!!!!!
And those that do not work get all of BOTH of
@@
Won't ever work
It's not the law-abiding hunter gun owners that you have to worry about. The bad guys will always find a way to get a gun, just like drugs. It doesn't matter what kind of law there is in place. Those laws just punish the rest of us.
I don't know how this should work......nm
Then the whole responsibility would be with the people.
okay .. i have to get to work
you want to research it
the one I am talking about was posted the day after the election
and it was changed on saturday or sunday ...
the site I saw the images posted has archived that and I am not sure how to retreive it.
believe me or not, it is your choice.
and this "change" is just another reason I remain skeptical about the future administration.
peace out ..
work on your
excessive focus on what "they" think and do. Spend more time on what you think and do. Works everytime.
What I work on...
Working 2 full-time jobs 90+ hours a week, excessive focus on paying my own bills and staying afloat. Not much time for much else but sleep. Truth is truth, the reality is what it is, you know.
do you work in the
overused cliches department proliferation section?
If they don't work....(sm)
then they obviously need help making them work. Hence....funding.
You are probably right. SOME MT work may
nm
and, obviously, you don't work!
x
So you don't work?
Must not. And you think the KKK is gone? lol - sure you're black, uh-huh. whatever. Now I'm supposed to kiss your @$$? yeah, right.
Even those who work sometimes have
to get gov't assistance. Not all are lazy good for nothings as you depict, many are the elderly or the disabled. Who cares what they buy to eat.
I use to work for SS and if you are sm
an adult who has never paid in or do not have enough working credits you cannot draw SS disability. You can draw what is called SSI which is a social security supplement paid through your state to folks who don't qualify for SS or don't get enough.
Kids who get SS like Octomoms kids are getting SSI unless its a situation where a parent who was working died, then there are death benefits for minor children.
IF there is no SS for you when you retire it is not because of what people who are drawing it now are getting it is becasue our government has robbed the SS fund. Your SS benefits are based on what you have made in your lifetime. If the fund is still there and the government doesn't take it all, you will get exactly the amount you are suppose to get based on what you have made in your life time.
As far as these lawyers advertising to get benefits for folks who are depressed, alcoholic, whatever.......these people, again, cannot get regular SS disability benefits if they have not worked and paid in. These commercials don't tell you that. The attorneys can fight for SSI (the supplement) for their clients but not disability SS if not worked and paid in.
As far as someone with depression drawing benefits, there are many folks out there who suffer from debilitating depression who do deserve these benefits and are totally disabled. I do know the type you are talking about though, the deadbeats who draw benefits and then do everything else under the sun. I have seen it also. Then I have seen people with strokes and totally disabled who have to fight like dogs to get what they are entitled to. Its ridiculous. I just wanted to clear up the different funds that money come from.
Bottom line is for the regular SS disability benefit, if you have not worked and paid into it, you cannot draw it. You may be able to draw from SSI through your state but that is basically welfare and you have to qualify financially for that unlike social security disability.

Also if the government stops borrowing from SS and wasting it, you will get exactly what you worked and paid into. you can determine that by looking at your SS statement you get every year.
What works for you may not work
If you are a good Christian, good for you; be a shining example of your faith. But if in the process of being a good Christian you trample MY rights and/or faith, well, sorry, that isn't good. THAT is why I believe in the separation of church and state. We are all different and have different levels of development, spiritual and otherwise. God is the ONLY and ultimate judge; I believe we all come before Him to account for our lives. My relationship with God is between Him and me...no one else. I don't think it is the job of my fellow humans to judge me and and tell me, *My religion/faith is better than yours* I don't care how much YOU believe it.
I can't get the video to work...sm
But I read an interview on the web where he talks about the clash of civilizations. Will read more on what he has to say. I will agree this has gotten far bigger than politics - far.
For the record, I don't hate Bush I just don't think he is the best choice for president.
Thank you very much for such a good work
Congratulations on a great web site. I am a new computer user and finding you was like coming home. Continued success.
Hopefully the link will work

Oh well, I guess it's not going to work....
You can find the same piece on the 2nd page of the MQ board (11/15) under "Christmas off???...What luck!!!! it seems to work there just fine. 
That ought to work well for you, at least for tonight.
nm
Doesn't work that way.
IF Obama gets in, then Hilary can't run against him next time. He would be the incumbent, and I don't see her jumping ships.
She can run against McCain in 2012...
Work less, earn less.....
Well, that is called socialism to the core. Those that make less think they have a right to those that make more, but do they ever think WHY someone else makes more? Maybe a higher education, many many many longer hours and a MUCH harder job?
My husband has worked his butt off for 30+ years and made a good salary for it. But there are sacrifices made along the way. So he should be penalized because he worked his way through college, struggled the entire time, worked his way up in a company and has paid his dues? No, I don't think so.
If you want more money, get a higher education and go work for it just like he did.
sorry 'bout that...this one should work
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/24/eveningnews/main4476173.shtml
That one doesn't work either. What's it about? nm
.
and you work with words all day? sad.

heck, why work?

I work hard and get no help from anybody.

Why don't any of your links work? nm

Start at the top and work you way down.
then why not remove yourself from the dialog?
I'm here - been swamped with work
Just thought I'd check the board before signing off. I've been swamped with work the past couple days. I also decided to not post for awhile because no matter what I posted I was cut down by others. I was posting my opinions like others do, and posted articles I found of interest and got the usual cut downs. So I saved my sanity for awhile by not doing anything. I did read a couple posts below and see more insults, so at least it's not only me (not sure if that's a good thing). LOL. Anyway...it's going to be a very interesting day tomorrow and hope whoever wins whether it's McCain or Obama there will be some decency and just not coming on to gloat no matter which side wins. Will hope once this election is over time will mend hurt feelings.
I'll be the first to admit it does look like Obama will win (if you are going by the polls), but I'll also be the first to say you can't judge everything by the polls and then I'm reminded of last election and what happened. So mix that in with mostly democratic areas being polled, voter registration fraud, and all that, I've learned not to count on the polls too heavily. One thing for sure, it will be interesting day.
There has been a lot of animosity on this board and everyone is entitled to their opinions. I would have liked to have asked some serious questions, but I have learned just to keep silent as I was called a racist among other things. Didn't matter that I was basing my vote on issues, and that I am a black woman, and that I voted for Obama in the primaries, I just kept getting screamed at that I was a racist because I was not voting for Obama. So, figured I'd take a break from here and focus my time on my work and some other projects. It is sad though that people cannot express opinions without getting cut down, and then watching others pat each other on the back for being hurtful towards others. I was even going back through the past couple days to see what I missed and I saw someone say "Oh look a Kaydie clone". So just another nasty smear towards me without any real reason for it. Just not worth the headache anymore.
So for me, I will be working tomorrow and keeping my ears open through the day as to how the election goes. I may post again on this board just not sure at this point. I may just stick to the Gab board as that is a little more uplifting. Haven't decided yet.
Thanks for the "what happened to Kaydie message", didn't think anyone would notice I haven't been on.
You're right. I think our work here is done.

What? The workers work for nothing?
That's news to me. I thought the workers got paid.
I'm not working but If I did work s/m
I would take a pay cut right after I saw the suits take a pay cut in proportion to the size of the cuts which their employees were asked to take. No, that wouldn't happen, they would take the money and give themselves a bonus for running the company into the ground. I would also be willing to take a pay cut if the cost of goods and services went down but that isn't happening either. So.........I say NO to pay cuts for anyone. Either lower costs where people can live on minimum wage or make wages sufficient to pay for essentials.
link does not work.

That'll work.
1) Penny loafers or saddle oxfords and bobby sox.
2) A ruffled red or black net petticoat about 3/4 of an inch longer than the skirt.
3) A cinch belt with interlocking curved horseshoe waist buckle (or rhinestoned, if you want to get fancy).
4) Cotton kerchief or silk neck scarf or snap-together "pop" beads.
5) Open cashmerish cardigan sweater with pearly buttons (top notch fastened) or held on with a chain sweater guard if it's chilly.
6) A clutch or perhaps a Lucite box (!) handbag.
7) White wrist gloves. Yes, they were worn on casual occasions. Some high schoolers even wore them to school! Failing that, maybe a charm bracelet (hugely popular...I still have mine).
8) Red nail polish and lipstick, blue or green eye shadow, eyeliner, black mascara, drawn-on eyebrows and bright red rouge (as my grandma called it).
9) Pony tail, page boy, flip, French twist or teased beehive with "bandeau."
I remember as a kid sometimes wearing 3 or 4 STARCHED petticoats to church (ugh, bordered on child abuse !). A word of caution. My mom told me a lady NEVER leaves the house without a handkerchief in her purse.
PS. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
yes, handicapped can work
My son works full-time in a sheltered workshop for the handicapped and disabled. Most days they don't have any work (nobody's buying jewelry right now and he assembles jewelry boxes). At most, his paychecks are $60-70 per 2 weeks. Obviously, he can't live off of that. He is not entitled to food stamps. He gets a medical card and SSI. Anybody want to begrudge him that?
I used to work with a lady like that. Could never let others be
had to rain on everyone's parade. If someone had just bought a home of their own that they were so proud of, she'd point out that it was in a questionable neighborhood. If you brought in pics of your new grandchild, she'd tell you his ears were asymmetrical. Finally got 'MT-of-the-Month' because you typed the most lines? She'd say it was because you all all the easy dictators that month. Finally buy a new car? She'd insist that it rated lowest on the crash-tests. Just got a facelift, and finally back at work looking 20 years younger? She'd insist she could see the scars.
Pretty sad, huh? Those kinds of people have so little going for them in their lives, that they have to torpedo the happiness of all those around them. And unfortunately, this profession seems to draw that type like flies to road-kill.
Well, no killjoy rightwing biddy is going to spoil this day, and our exciting, YOUNG! new administration for me.
Am I going to wake up tomorrow morning with a better job? No. More money? Nope. But what I AM going to wake up to tomorrow is a President that I can finally be PROUD of again. And it's been far too long in coming.

A plan that will work.....
Take all this money and instead of giving to big businesses and letting them do whatever with (because that worked so well with the bailout huh?) just pay off everybody's mortgage. If my house was paid off, I would buy that 1K TV I want for my bedroom. I'd buy new furniture for my living room because mine is 10+ years old. I'd buy curtains and blinds for my windows. I'd buy some nice rugs to put throughout my house. I'd buy that Thomas Kincaid painting I've always wanted to hang on my wall. I'd buy more fencing material to fence in more pasture for my horses. I'd buy those 2 llamas I've been wanting. My husband could buy another Harley like he has been wanting. We would go out to eat more often. These are just things that I would do if my hosue was paid off. That is quite a bit of money back into the system but I can't do these things because I owe on my house. Think about it.
If you didn't have your mortage, what would you buy?
