Voting

Jerry and I voted on October 20th, the first day of Early Voting. We wanted to make sure with all the things that had been going on in our lives the past 8 (wow!) months that we would get our votes in. Jerry was also concerned about his mom voting. Would we have to take her to her polling place, could we do early voting, maybe an absentee ballot? That's what he settled on. He put in the request weeks ago. It never came. He put in another request and it still hadn't come on Friday. He told his mom and she said that it was okay with it. Disappointment set in. I think he feels it's not only a privilege but a duty. He was darn right cheery when the absentee ballot arrived yesterday in the mail. We quickly went to the nursing home and watched as she filled it out. Helped her seal it up and made sure the envelope was signed and dashed off to the nearest post office box to make sure it would reach the elections office before 7pm Nov 4th. I'm sure she didn't vote the same way we did. It's okay though, that's what makes this country a great place.

Rock the Vote!

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!
