    The UAW has gone on strike.

    If it's short - no big deal.

    If it's long, - could be nasty for me.

    Will it be affecting anyone else?

    Oh no! I am sorry to hear that. I was hoping it would go better.
    I heard if it does not go well it could bust the union. : (
    Hugs to you all

    I think it's a possibility that it could bust the union. If it does, I think every union around the country will be in trouble.

    The UAW is one of the biggest around. If they can be broken - anyone can.

    I'm not in the union myself, (I'll keep my opinions on them to myself as not to offend those for or against) but I do rely on them to get me the products so I can sell them and, in turn, keep them in business making them.

    These things aren't good for any of us. Hopefully, they can reach an agreement quickly.

    I saw the Family Guy SW episode. It was not bad.
    I was kind of shocked as generally they have referance to G I Joe First ep of the season

    There's rumor that since it was watched by so many, they may do an ESB one.

    Hey Tim! I know its dead in here. So did anyone else catch any of the new season of their favorite shows this week?
    Ghost Hunter--what the hell is with the new chick, she is an ACTRESS!! Oh, I hope this season gets better.
    Smallville-loved it, but I want more Green Arrow and the Justice League.
    Heroes-good as always (now if they can just avoid the "Lost" pitfalls (taking forever to tell the story.)
    Have a great weekend! oh, go Pack go!! woohoo we are 3 and 0! Looking forward to Bret breaking the record this weekends game.

    I don't watch a ton of T.V. But I tried to watch Heroes and, last night, The Office. Those are the two shows that I really like right now.

    I say tried because we bought Max a toy drum set. The cymbal seems to his favorite piece and when he's nailing it, I can't hear a thing. He looks so cute pounding away on them, I don't have the heart to try to get him to quit. I set back and enjoy the show. He's even got in the habit of taking a bow and saying "thank you, thank you" when he's done, which actually sounds like "tank too, tank too"

    Sorry - daddy moment.

    Speaking of - the other night SW was on one of the cable channels. As some Stormtroopers are running across the screen he looks up, pointing and screaming, "it's dada, it's dada".

    He has seen me in my armor, but it's been awhile. Needless to say, I was proud as can be!

    I think the only ones I caught this week were Ghost Hunters, Heroes and SG Atlantis, which left me very confused. But then that is what I get trying to watch it while doing homework. I really miss the 4400. :( And Dr. Who is winding down too.

    Ghost Hunter's new girl... well, I can only say beauty over brains... And Amy I have never watched Desperate Housewives so I can't say.

    Hey all! Sorry I have been away for awhile, got lots of personal stuff going on. Ugh!

    I watched Heroes, E.R, CSI Las Vegas and I got sucked into Journeyman, though I am not too sure on that one yet oh and Reaper on CW11 which reminds me slightly of Dead like me. Haven't got around to Dr. Who or Ghosthunters, but they are on the DVR waiting for me.

    Hi all.
    I am still alive just trying to get through my CPNE and Micro.( Clinical Practicle Nursing EXAM)
    I have been crying daily from the stress and just tired.
    This test is so demanding, I hate having to be perfect.
    I have already told DH that IF I do not pass this damn thing I am not going BACK to finish my RN. I am tired wore out , physically and emotionally, and just can't go through this kind of 3 day exam and then MICRO too.


    HUGS to you all and back to my studying.

    Yay Amy!

    Oh Medic, I totally understand where you are at. [:D] I am so tired but yet unable to sleep. lol It is worth it in the end, or so I keep telling myself. Sounds like you should join us when we get together, just to blow off steam... When do you take your tests?

    Shhhh! I'm pretending that Christmas has been cancelled this year. Although, this year I have less presents to buy. Yay for separation! LOL! The whole "gifts costing money" thing is also problematic.o_O
