I Ain't Afraid of No Daleks

I seem to have been switched to the new blog editor without me doing it--at least, after I write, the page that comes up is totally different (and, a pain in the arse as it causes me extra steps to get back to my home page)

NOW, the stinking blog has messed up my Roasting David (Tennant) group!

I had a Feedjit widget on there, and it has been removed! I didn't do it. And, when I try to put it back, there's NO http widget setting any longer, for me to do so!

Is this some scam by bcuk to get me to go pro? Or is it just another stinking bug in the system. I use Wordpress, Blogger and other blogs, and NOBODY has as many probablems as Bcuk--if it wasn't for all my blog friends, I would have dumped this crap blog a long time ago.

I'm really disgusted.

...I got a choice for someone named after a bottle of beer ("Bud" Taylor), or a woman whose hubby just got arrested for drink driving, failure to yield and hit and run with an injury.

Now, I'm not one to hold what a spouse or other adult relation does, against a person, yet Villa White, the Democratic candidate whom I was leaning towards supporting (well, would YOU vote for a conservative redneck with a nickname that sounds like a popular brand of beer? Let's face it, "Mayor Bud" doesn't exactly sound very impressive, does it?)

I wouldn't mind so much about White's hubby, except that Villa White is refusing to speak to anyone and has apparently gone into seclusion on the matter.

According to the police blotter: Hubby ran a stop, hit a woman's car and broke her jaw or shoulder or something, then hubby drove off and parked in his driveway, later walking to the scene and denying any involement...police found him rather intoxicated. He was arrested and released pending proscecution.

Thing is, cadidate White is ducking reporters--I understand not talking about a pending lawsuit (which is probably a given under the circumstances) and criminal case, but she could at least step up and say, "no comment," but she's running away, apparently, and my thinking is, if she can't handle this, how would she handle any crises' when she's in office?

So, looks like this little northern New York state city of 15,000 souls maybe be stuck with Mayor "Bud" for a while. Glens Falls sucks.

Oh well. I don't especially like Obama--too wishy-washy, and I now have reservations about Villa White, so maybe I just won't blinking vote this year.

Hi all,

Thanks for the suggestions about voting. Unfortunately the deadline in my state for absentee ballots is past, and it is quite correct that absentee ballots, in that they've a history (since Bush Jr. became prez) of not being properly counted...or even counted at all.

Once again at work...collections calls today...just couldn't reach someone, 'cos the guy that took the call said the man I wanted shot himself in the foot last night and was in hospital...another brilliant American shooter...they should change the song and slogan from "God bless America," to God help America, ha-ha.

Feeling somewhat better today, after a bout of severe chills early last evening. Cripes! Had the heat turned up to an unheard of 78 F last night--something I NEVER do, and even under two blankets I still couldn't get warm! Took from around 5pm 'till a bit past eight for the shivers to stop...I was only out in the cold for about 15 minutes yesterday, but I guess that's all it took.

Flame was sick this morning, wouldn't eat and was throwing up a bit...her appetite isn't bad though...I mean, she was hungry enough to sit up and wave her paw at me, begging for some bacon this morning (cute wee thing she is, always good for a smile, my flamey), but she didn't want her soft food, and I heard her meow in distress when I was in the shower, and found she'd barfed on the kitchen floor a bit. That's twice this week. I'm hoping it's just seasonal hairballs, as there's just no cash to spare for a vet, for a long while.

Then, after I fussed over her and told her what a good girl she was--which she naturally liked, Flame tried to lick my hand...with her chin still covered in..well, you know. I love Flame, but draw the line at getting cat vomit on my hand, if I can possibly help it. I thanked her for the thought, though, and gave her a chin rub.

We had frost on the grass this morning, and temperatures at slated to chill down, with overnight lows from 31 F to 22 F (-1 C, to -6 C) with highs from 45 F to the upper 50's F. Most of the week shall be sunny, which is nice. Thursday there's a chance for rain or snow showers, but one day out of five isn't anything to complain about.

My teenage co-workers are busily texting and doing their makeup and nails between calls, so I don't feel much guilt about checking the weather forecast, ha-ha. The radio station I get at home, seldom broadcasts the weather. Just plays the same old naf easy listening tunes from the 40's to early 80's, and a quickie CNN news blast on the hour...if they ever give the local weather, I've never heard it...suspect it's one of those stations that pre-records everything, including the DJ.

Years ago, in my early 30's, when I was working at the dressage stable, the barn radio was tuned to a pop station, and I soon noticed that they played the exact same songs every day at pretty much the same time...and the same adverts, as well. Didn't take a rocket scientist to figure that it was a recorded broadcast...changed stations after that, and started bringing in my own mix tapes, as well. Actually, that was one of the perks of that particular job, as being that I was most often working absolutely alone, I could listen to whatever music I wanted to, on the barn's boom box. Music does make the work go by faster...and the drive, when you're on the road.
