Candidates?

This week I watched both the Democratic and Republican debates leading up to the Iowa Caucus. They weren't really debates. They were more like a boring one by one explanation of who knows what. They never really say anything pertinent to what is really needed. It's not tangible. It's always in words that don't relate to real people with real issues. They are so out of touch with the everyday American.

And where did they get the woman that asked the questions. What a yawner she was. To be honest I couldn't even watch all of the Democratic debate and took great joy in changing the channel right in the middle of one of Hillary's high pitched answers.

When will they realize that we are not all thinking right down the middle of the issues of the day. We are rel people with real opinions and we are not afraid to stand on one side or the other when debating things. They sure seem to be.

I'm frustrated with the whole thing and the fact that there is not a great choice for President. I feel like we will be trying to pick the best of the bunch. That doesn't feel good!

Snow!

Here in Ohio we are right in the middle of the storm draping the mid section of the country. We are supposed to get 8" of the white stuff. We are not in the worst part of it. Some others will get even more. It sure looks like Christmas time now. We are fortunate that we didn't get the ice that some other areas of the country got. They had a big mess with damage and also electrical outages. Not heat.....not good. It's pretty though and we should just sit back and enjoy it.

Bad Day

Today was a big struggle. The back surgery is on and so I am just waiting until then. The new medicine is giving me heartburn so now I am taking something for that too. Hopefully it will all be over soon.

Stir Crazy

Man I must really be bored. Laying here on my back I have resorted to watching old Laverne and Shirley episodes. Actually they are pretty entertaining. We got it from Netflix. There are six episodes ber disc so we will get our fill.

Back on my back

It happened again. My back went out. actually it's worse this time than the last. I have been laying on my back all week long. I had been doing so well. Walking really was helping. I had a few days where I was almost back to normal. Then I got busy with things and let myself slack off a little. I went for about a week and a half without walking at all and then wham! Now I don't know what to do. I wanted to give it a chance to straighten itself out but now it's been four days and no improvement. I called my surgeon and now I am seriously thinking about getting cut on. To be continued...........

OSU #1

Well, all the stars aligned and things worked out like they should. Ohio State is now #1 again and will be playing in the National Championship. I watched the Oklahoma vs Missouri and the Pitt vs West Virginia games and the outcome couldn't have been better for an OSU fan like me. We were hoping for one of the two games to go right and what do you know, both of them did. OSU vs LSU for it all. I can't wait to get my T-shirt.

GO BUCKS!

Watch Out This Weekend

Keep your eye on the Oklahoma vs. Missouri football game this weekend. it will decide weather or not the Bucks will be in the National Championship. Oklahoma has a chance to win. If so, we're in. West Virginia plays their last game this weekend too but it would be a shock if they would loose that game. Keep your fingers crossed!

Chips Must Fall In Place

Well, I broke down and got a new computer. I decided to go with the Intel chip. Of course the debate was between AMD and Intel. I tried to do my homework to decide which would be the best for me but most of the information I read was based on higher end chips. Ones I couldn't afford. i think I made a good choice and I am going with the thought that everything sold right now is better than what I had.

Bucks Win

Awesome, What a game. Big Ten champs and hello Rose Bowl. It;s not the National Championship but what the heck. Maybe it's even better than the National Championship. We get a parade before our game. It's such a shame that they lost to Illinois but it was still a great season. I hope that they don't loose their edge because of the time between now and the game. I doubt it though, Tressel will have them ready I'm sure.

It's hard to Stay #!

A disappointing game today. OSU gave it all they had but it wasn't enough today' Illinois came to take it away and they did. It sucks but that's the way it is at that level. Everyone is gunning for #1. Unfortunately a loss this late in the season will do you in. So much for the national championship. A win next week against Michigan however will still give them a trip to the Rose Bowl. Still a great season. Good luck next week. Go Bucks!
