Sucked in

Woke up this morning (no this isn't the theme song from The Soprano's) to the news in London. It was an eerie feeling at work. It strikes me odd that we are sucked into these news events. I was puzzled with myself as I stared at the same video feed of a rooftop of a house in London. Even now they are showing planes landing. I know this is big news..but why do I get sucked into it? Is the world more dangerous or is it that we just hear about it more?

I'm going to play EQ2 and/or SWG and turn off the news. I'm not avoiding reality...just taking a break from the news overload.

    I'm with you...I haven't read too much about it yet, but I'm ready to just not think about it for a while. It's too scary.

    With our Vegas trip coming up in little over a month, I wonder how they will handle lotion, makeup, hair gel, etc. Hmmm...I may have to do some reading on it eventually.

    Bummer...the world is getting freakier and freakier.

    Yeah...even toothpaste and contact solution have to be packed in your checked luggage. Crazy...I'm sure there will be more out in the next few days about what is acceptable to take and stuff.

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
