purplepeep…we have probably passed each other at Festival or Bloomington Drug! Ha! Anyway, I didn’t feel too bad telling my street, as it would be pretty hard to find Happyscrapper on W. 107th Street. The Mall? You mean there is a Mall near here?

Well, that’s my drugstore, Scrapper, but this morn you’d more likely have caught me down a couple doors at MGM, lol.

I’m just extra careful not to put anything online that could be at all personally identifying – a healthy paranoia. (And your street isn’t a particularly long one. Just a caveat.)

We’re approx 1 & 1/2 miles apart as the crow flies, by the way.

Yeah, the only time I get to The Mall is when a relative is visiting from “outstate MN” and I somehow get dragged along as they “see the sights”. I’m more of a strip mall type of guy

I remember, I had an adult paper route back in 1984 and waded through the most enormous show drifts!! I believe we got 95 inches that year. It was rough, but I didn’t miss a single day!

I think it was the same instance, it was like a foot & 1/2 of snow one day – then the 2nd day after that another deluge of about the same size! Most snow I can remember in such a short time. Or at least such a huge snowpile that I had to go out in, hahaha.

You live by Oxboro? I am in Bloomington…West 107th Street!

I wouldn’t offer up my street, but we’re in the same neck o’ the woods, Scrapper. I remember when there was a Super-valu on Nic & 98th and when Festival was a Byerly’s. But yeah, Oxboro & Clover are my main shopping stops. I don’t even bother with The Mall – that’s for tourists!

I like rainy, cloudy days, Scrapper – but not all the time. It’ll nice to see the sun again.

Was just down picking up a few things at Oxboro, it was nice not have to muck through big dirty snow piles in the parking lot.

But, as you know, we can get some mighty nasty snowfall in March/1st week of April. I’m remembering 1983 -I think it was (mebbe ‘84) – had to walk over a mile through hip deep snow to get to work!

Yes, I like the rain…but I NEED the sun!!! Hopefully soon. At least it is warming up, thank God. Winter is about two months too long.

As for Beck…I am glad he did it too. He has made peace with MM and I think his followers will forgive any possible misteps on his part. He is truly an amazing voice for the return of freedom and liberty to this country and I will stand behind him!

He has exposed this WH agenda like no one else has, and he has a radio show and a one-hour TV show with high ratings.

Hiya Scrapper – ain’t it nice to see the rain washing away our snow “mountains”?

On the topic, tho. Though it was a snorefest, I’m glad Beck had the doofus on to help push the Democratic thuggery and insanity into the mainstream. Even Letterman, of all people, is goofing on the Rahm/WH shower shenanigans -

Rahm – Top 10

Not the “Special” haircut, with massage and happy ending.

Hangfire–too funny. And I’m going to use a real quote from an aquaintance seeking assistance from a certain, ahem, lady:

‘oooo, young and strong.’

Thanks for the clarification, Swede! I still don’t understand why they keep talking about the changes that are in the bill and none of the people interviewing them call them on it! There is so much confustion out there, at least you would think the people in congress would tell it right!

I know this is off-topic a bit, but I am going crazy!! The health care bill they are trying to pass…it is the Senate bill that has ALREADY passed…right? And, it can’t be changed, right?? Then why do all these politicians on the talk shows mention all the changes that Obama has put in, and all the things they are promising to change, etc.? I thought they COULDN’T change it!!

You’re right Happy. According to procedure, the House needs to pass the Senate bill as is – can’t even change a comma – then it goes to Barry’s desk. If the House changes anything, it has to return to the Senate where our new hero “41″ Brown can kill it in filibuster. So their plan is to get the House to pass it as is – Barry signs it – then send it back to the Senate where they would use reconciliation to defund the parts the House demands out. (Said issues to be worked out in advance behind closed doors via back room and under the table deals) The problem being Stupak et al and other Dems don’t trust the Senate to do it. The bottom line as of right now is Nanny does not have the votes, or she would have already brought it to the floor. Nor is she likely to have them anytime soon, and the closer to mid-terms they get the less likely it is to happen.

But now they are talking about trying some new bizzarro procedures that have no precident and would dig them into a deeper hole. Desperation measures.

But much of what he says is pertinent in the current news events, and I do agree with a majority of his positions.

The problem I have with him is that he is not consistent. When he equates Geert Wilders with right-wing fascism he is dead wrong. And Beck must not be dead wrong on issues such as these. He loses credibility.
