Challenge 2 Truthiness

I really had a good time exploring the sites Emily gave us. I could spend hours on Snopes.com and probably did. It doesn't have the "authority" that the others did as far as what was truthiness in relation to the candidates for president but I found out some dirt on some candidates that just verified what I thought of them. The other sites were good...every voting person in this country should be given the mandatory assignment of reading them before they are allowed to vote. That is all I've got to say about that. Thanks for pointing them out to us Emily.

tech challenge 2 posting

Hidee folks,
Here we go with a new ball game. I'm doing this for the fun of it but I hope to get some new things to use on a regular basis. Like I said on Emily's blog, I use bloglines a lot and librarything but there are a bunch of things we went through that I never use. I'm looking forward to all of your comments while participating. Carol

Last Day of 2007

Hi Y'all,
Since this is the last day of 2007 I thought I'd tell everyone a happy new year! So HAPPY NEW YEAR! Not a whole lot happening around here. Katy and I just shared a cig on the porch and we talked about new years resolutions. I asked if she and Rick were going to quit smoking for the new year but she said there would be a little procrastination...they are waiting until the 11th of January because that date has been auspicious for them...it was the 11th of January last year that they went on their first date. So it would be pretty stupid of me to try to quit earlier than she does. She is notorious for letting me bum a smoke. There is another class for quitting starting up in Bardstown, we went to it the year before, or last year, I can't remember. Anyway, it worked great for Ron. He hasn't smoked since. I know I have fallen off the wagon at least twice since then. I guess it was two years because I got back on the wagon when we went on the cruise and that was November of 06. Time sure flies. Ron is working on his model airplane and it is keeping him out of trouble. I got him a balsa wood model of a Stearman for Christmas. This has been the year of the Stearman. He got to ride in a Stearman when we went to Galesburg, Ill. We bought a poster and put it up in the basement stairwell to go with all his other model planes and then I got him an old Navy training film (on DVD) on how to fly a Stearman for Christmas too. It is very interesting. I was following along nicely until the 4h chapter. At that point there was just too much to remember but Ron thinks he wants to fly one now. I took some photos this morning out in the backyard with all the frost on the yard art. No frost on the dog but I got some good photos of July too. If I can remember how to do it, I will post them to this blog so everyone can see them. That's all for now. Hope everyone has a great 08! Carol
