Government Scary

Excerpt from Atlantic Online today: Whitehouse spokesman said yesterday >>Obama administration is pursuing a new comprehensive approach to securing America's digital infrastructure.< Digital infrastructure controls everything we do and all of the information about all of us...Anyone remember Die Hard 3?? Just a thought...

Explosion in Chicago...

Everything going nuts!!

no MJ...Ocean's Thirteen is on HBO!..life to live....laundry to do...grass to mow...

MJ/FF/...wtf

his death is just that much weirder than his life....now to be buried at neverland????
Farrah...how sad her last years were....and the MJ stuff puts her horrible passing in the backseat...

Saving ourselves...

We must always think of saving ourselves each day. Our government isn't listening to the people who live, breathe and die here while they have their town hall meetings and tell us how more government will help us 'regulate' our lives. I'm sorry, I have lost faith in our present government. We are in a sinking ship and the lifeboats are limited. Who will be allowed to have one and who will have to be left to drift in the vast uncertainty?

WTF

my god some body call me a freaking paramedic. i just heard it said in what apparently is a 100% confirmation that m.jackson is not the biological father of all 3 of his kids.....................man

late nite

still up. can't realy sleep. not sure why. just not ready to put the ole head down for the night!

our world

guess it's just us and them. where do we end and they begin...i miss the directness of discussion, but can embrace the world of www......if this is how we all must communicate then i can...read my words...we are who we make ourselves...be true. be honest....and most of all, be the people we want our children to be proud of!

The Confederate States

If my wonderful wife hasn't declared such...she is now a civil war artifact researcher for a fine gentleman that owns and sells high dollar pieces of civil war pieces from hand written notes, to flags, to books, to clothing etc. GO KELLY!

Toyota

well it should come down to brass tacks this week. The person left to do Toyota at Exide is on vacation and its up to Selina, Kelly's replacement from quality that had 4 days of training in her department! It would be wrong for me to want them to fail right? ok, then i won't want that :)

Nancy P

hope you guys are watching this lying B******! It so pathetic now people are standing up on her behalf she doesn't even know about saying well its not a criminal offense unless she was sworn in.......and her press conference today was priceless! I'm one lottery ticket away from living on an island and having a hell of a lot of fun quitting my job and telling a slew of people the newest of people would be sponge boob square pants what i think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mother's Day

Was great! weather cooperated and no major obstacles. Gonna post some pics from Kassidy's formal last weekend. Durango is doing great! Weird, but I don't really miss work yet.

may 4th

Durango is doing super!! Walking great and very playful. Kass had her 8th grade prom on Saturday. I will post pics soon. She was GREAT....absolutely beautiful!! Took almost 2 hours to do her hair, but it was worth it!! Home with the doggies today...it's cloudy and rainy...so I'm a little moody...but what's new..hahaha

Jimmy Dust

If anyone cares i had the opportunity to hang out with my newly found office manager last night and it was almost as interesting as that 49-1 favorite winning the Kentucky Derby!

April 29

Well, I have been processed out and am at home. I left knowing that I did everything I was supposed to while I was there. I do feel better than i thought I would.

Hello

It anthony again hijacking kel's blog! loved seeing kelly today send email to all bristol exide employees saying good bye after someone did the exact same over the weekend and Deb/HR manager responded with that probably not the thing to do! you go my wonderful, now laid off due to someone's freakin' total dam stupidity, wonderful wife!
cheers to you baby!

Layoff...Exide..has finally hit home.

well, we are yet another statistic, the france family I mean..LOL. I am part of the layoff, buy Fro still has a job! Yea! 50/50 just glad it didn't hit us both for this first round. I have to word 30 days to get my severence...so that's what I will do! Durango isn't doing well...lets not talk about it just yet. Baseball starts today!! Braves are first game!!! woo hoo!! Watching it start now! Hope everyone is doing well...we miss everyone...

Kel

Blog by Kel

Work is slow and so is my metabolism....Has anyone seen the Zune label on the bottom of the page? You can actually see and listen to what I listen to!!! How fortunate you all are!!!!

Durango & Lil'Bit

Blogging by Dan

what is going on with this blogging stuff. My name is Dan, and I'm a blog virgin. It's been my whole life since my last blog. Since then I have cursed 4 times, been intoxicated twice, adopted a nun and got her started in the porno business, and built 112,000,000 (to my best estimation) god damn batteries.

Kassidy is having a set back of mono....couldn't perform Saturday night. That is the first performance she has missed since she started ballet when she was 6. I wouldn't let her go to school today either. Does that crap ever go away!!??

Kass & Nick

Here is Kassidy and her boyfriend Nick. He's a great guy and very talented. I'm hoping to get some of his music on here soon!

Life as We Know it...

Coming up on Spring and Formals and gowns!! Can't believe Kassidy is going to high school next year.
Doggies are LOVING being able to get outside for longer than 5 minutes at a time....LOL
Will have pictures posted soon. I'm compiling my album so it is a slideshow...

Work...or lack there of

Well, office hours have been cut to 32 a week. Just thankful we have jobs!

HI Everybody_ Come Blog with Me!!!

Might consider this silly, but I don't care! I think it's gonna be fun! And you guys know me....

1/27

Life goes on...slowly.

testing 123

Okay, im not certain if this is right or not....but I'm willing to try anything once.

home now...

hey, home now....how were the festivities for everyong today!! Doggies are crazy as usual. And just as soon as i figure out how to post one, i will. hahaha

Another snowy day in Bristol.

Snowing a little, cold as heck! Makes me think of snow-cream and homemade hot chocolate and riding a piece of tin that I called a sled when I was little. Kassidy is off school today so she gets to curl up with the doggies and keep tosty warm. Our new presidedt takes office today on Mom's birthday. She will ber 79! But acts like she's 40.LOL

SNOW! Can you believe it?
