Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:32:06 -0500 For weeks, "Miss Scarlet" has been promising a turkey that is "going to be delicious". She has told me how she does it numerous times and with each telling, I would still reserve some doubt since the turkey wasn't fried-the was I like them. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/yesterdays-bird Fri, 28 Nov 2008 06:00:20 -0500 I've been hearing about the federal bailout of these banks, insurance companies and other financial giants. I heard somewhere that if the government were to simply send the 75 billion dollars to the taxpayers, we'd all get something like $130,000.00. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/man-thats-lot-money Thu, 27 Nov 2008 09:54:08 -0500 I've been facinated with the Chevy HHR. I liked the Dodge PT Crusier, but the HHR get's my vote even though I'm a "Ford man". http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/wish-i-couldve-helped Sun, 23 Nov 2008 09:53:51 -0500 I have had a tradition for at least five years-I don't decorate the interior or the exterior of my home for the holidays. This year, I saw no reason not to extend that streak nor could I justify any reason to give Virginia Power a Merry Christmas through a higher electric bill. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/going-grizwald Sun, 23 Nov 2008 07:40:27 -0500 I got a little bit of a shock when I read this story It seems as though a woman was trying to buy a house a few doors down from her mother's home where she currently lives, the deal fell through and everything went south from there-and the former owner of the house might be heading south soon, too.   http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/interesting-turn-events Mon, 17 Nov 2008 11:33:36 -0500 I've been reading in the Virginian Pilot and on Hampton Roads.com about some of the goings on around the neighbords that surround ODU. Sure, druken and disorderly college students are a pain, but not impossible to deal with. I'd gladly exchange them for the one neighbor I had who was dealing drugs from their home just a few doors down from mine. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/i-bet-theyd-trade-you Mon, 17 Nov 2008 07:34:21 -0500 One thing you never want to do-kill the goose that lays the golden egg.   I remember when we had a Ford plant in Norfolk. Word among my fellow high school students was, unless you know someone who works there, don't even bother to apply. If you could get on over there at Ford, you had a ticket to easy street. The work was hard, but the pay and perks were worth it. I never applied. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/killing-goose Sat, 15 Nov 2008 05:52:17 -0500 In a recent posting, a very famous someone said the following when speaking about black people and how they voted: They voted to destroy the constitution that Obama will hopefully uphold against their wishes, by making sure that church and state remain separated. They voted to "uphold the sanctity of marriage" by making a mockery of it. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/heres-tolerance-you Thu, 13 Nov 2008 04:49:58 -0500 There are some who claim that those who govern us should be held to a "higher standard" of behavior. I find it irnoic that many of those who make these high-minded claims are among those who were more than willing to give Bill Clinton a pass for committing perjury in order to cover up his "after hours activities" with a White House Intern. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/pot-calls-kettle-black Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:42:55 -0500 Oh yes, here's some change we can believe in. In the not-too-distant past, we lost one of the greatest Americans that was alive in my lifetime, Ronald Regan. This noble man came along at exactly the right moment in history, put a crushing defeat on then-President Jimmy Carter and ushered a demoralized nation out of the four-year nightmare that was the hallmark of the Carter years. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/11/change-hasnt-comeand-i-doubt-it-will Fri, 07 Nov 2008 19:31:40 -0500
