When you put a good thirty minutes into a funny brilliant post for your blog -only- to have everything lockup and freeze and eventually crash. So thats it for the day.
I still remember seeing the little blue "save now" flashing at me like it wanted me to click it..............

Why ask why?
One thing Obama's victory definately states. Anyone and I mean anyone can become president. It's truly hard to believe a nobody 4 years ago could rise to the popularity level Obama has done. To defeat the Clinton machine and capture the heart of America is truly amazing. Personally, I don't think he has ever had any substance to what he says. But to the majority of Americans it didn't matter. His shady associations,inexperience, had no real impact on average JOE. It kinda backs up my assertion that as a nation we are losing grip on what should be important to us. Obama is already quick to state it will take longer than one term to fix our problems. The media also has stated we have elected a president we hardly even know really. We won't really know who we have as our leader until he takes over and we will soon find out. I don't think people have a clue what they have just done in electing this man. On the same hand I hope deeply I am wrong. I hope he does love America. I hope he seeks God's wisdom. I hope he has our best interests at mind. I hope.

Will my vote matter?
All the polls indicate McCain is pretty much going to win Oklahoma in a landslide. He is well ahead. Oklahoma has voted republican for president for quite a while I believe. In the electoral vote Oklahoma counts for 8 electoral votes. In a close election it could be important but it looks like McCain has Oklahoma sewed up. But- somehow we elected a democratic governer?? I didn't live here then but hey this dude gave us the wonderful lottery, right! HA
Of course I should vote for all the local issues as well. But frankly after watching all the political attack ads for the last month and seeing all the horrific attributes of each of the candidates I am pretty well convinced I don't want any of these candidates after seeing how bad people they are. The reason i will probably do my duty is because of street fixing votes here in Ttown. We have bad streets. Really bad. I will pay extra taxes on what I buy to fix the streets. Of course the old adage that says you need to vote to have the right to gripe if you don't get your guy in. I don't want to gripe about our president anyway. I want to be a supporter. In my entire life I have always been able to be a supporter of our president even if I didnt vote for him. This time is going to be tough. If Obama wins I want to support him because I would feel democrats should support McCain if he wins. Yet there is simply something about Obama that bothers me. Maybe it's Bill Ayers, or his support of the PLO, his mocking of the bible, his uncaring attitude for his aunite, his "tell me how we are going to fix the economy and I'll sell it" (as told by slick willie), or his Muslim heritage, or maybe its because he draws hundreds of thousands of people at rallies and it reminds me of what I read aboutanother famous speaker who could rally and inspire hundreds of thousands...... Whatever it is I have this huge and I mean HUGE check in my spirit and THAT will make supporting our president a real challenge if that is what is to come. We shall see.... I believe God has a surprise victory in store for McCain. I hope I am right.

MOVING
As soon as I start dreading or speaking bad things about having to move I quickly remember my last move and am quickly thankful that this one should be much easier. Since I lived at an all bills paid place I have to set up new accounts for all the public services. Half of the fun of moving is trying to meet everyone at the proper time to get things turned on etc. I thought the things at my storage unit would be just a few small things until I went out and realized we have a pretty good load of stuff out there. At least I'll be saving that $120 a month for the storage bill. That will go towards the appliances I have to get. I find myself on Craigs list searching and the ones that look the most attractive say "will deliver". Have you ever bought a refrigerator without looking at it? How bad could a side by side 25 cu ft 2005 model be? $125 seems cheap but could it be that torn up in 3 years? My problem is I am too lazy to drive around searching people's addresses to look at things like that. I'd rather go to the dentist.
Without friends and family moving would be impossible. I thought about waiting until after the election because if Obama is elected I may qualify for a new program that provides social moving services under the new administration. Seriously though, my youngest son Steven has offered up his help and is even bringing a van to help on Sunday. then 2 of my buddies from the VR have accepted my invite to help. Looks to be I need to rent a uhaul. Thats when you know you have real friends. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Keith Hernandez asked Jerry for help and Jerry was honored to be that close of a friend.
This will be a tough one on me. I have several maladies I am dealing with. My knee is better since I quit lifitng all the TVs yet today after lifting only some small things it begin to flare up. And it hasn't seen nothing yet! The right rear portion of my right foot is numb. No feeling at all. Has been that way for at least two months. No pain, just no feeling. The left one is starting to feel the same way. Kind of an irritation but need to have it checked as the google diagnosis isn't that great. My lower back in the sciatic area is also better since the job change yet it irritates me when I lift. My worse problem presently is I believe I have a pinched nerve in my neck. I have had some neck issue since about 3 months before I left my previous job. I am sure I lifted something wrong as there is no way to properly lean over and hold a 150 pound tv and try and set it inside some guys volkswagon squeezing it between the front and back seat.. Usually the things I lifted were for people that appeared to me to be in better physical shape than I. Anyhow, the neck is becoming a real problem. Some things cause it great great pain and I have to be really careful. Maybe I will lift something that will pop something IN place. That is my hope. I don't have cable getting hooked up till Tuesday since the cable people failed to call me before they went to the new place. I got a phone recording telling me to reschedule. Nice! This after explaining carefully to the phone representative the importance of calling me so I could meet them.
No moving tonight though. OU-Nebraska tonight as well as channel jumping to the Texas Texas Tech game GO TECH! But before that in honor of my daughter in law and My Blessed life blog here is my menu for dinner.
Hamburger steak
Fried taters
Ranchstyle beans
Bread and butter
Iced Tea
When I read her menus I find myself wondering what kind of job I could find if I moved to alabama and moved in their neighborhood. Yuuuummmmmm!
