I think my subwoofer is hypnotising my dog.....
Let me paint you a picture. My desk is in the shape of an "L" with the counter along the other side making a "U" shape. The computer is at one end of the L, system on the floor, as well as the subwoofer to the speakers next to the system. Zoe has a blanket bed on the opposite end of the L. She usually sleeps there.
But today I have some Chris Botti playing until Rush comes on and she is sitting next to the system on the tiles, quiet as can be. Every now and then I catch her staring at the subwoofer's little blue light.......
And then I got to thinking....subwoofer.....could it be woofing her subliminal messages? ..........................
I might want to mention that I just finished another JD Robb book, Purity in Death....
Crazy day today. Working on a poster collection with Bry, then we have Athena coming in this afternoon. She'll be bringing me a van full so I'm trying to get through the star wars guy first. Tomorrow will be devoted to Athena's stuff. My parents are coming in to help. Saturday is our Grand Opening.

Dr. Laura said this of the Democratic Party this week. Don't trust the side that hates. It is truly amazing to me that all of the people who are protesting Bush for his war mongering and hate for the middle east are waging their own war on their own country!
I visit a messageboard daily. I love the women as they are on the same diet and stuck in the same situation I am. You can't beat the support, the laughs, and the information. However, I have noted that the Americans on the board seem to lean more toward the Democratic near Liberal side of politics. AHHHHH! How could this be?
My girl friend recently marched on Washington. I'm ok with this, we've been friends for years. In fact, the bit she was fighting for is something I believe in. I'm Republican, yet I'm for a Women's Right to Choose. There are entirely too many health risks to ignore. However, I am NOT ok with the marches and protests on the GOP Convention. What the hell? Ok, let's wait around all day long to yell and scream for someone you can't stand? Is there that much hate out there? Most of the protestors flashing across the news screen look to be livid with blood aboil! This baffles me.
Did Boston completely flip out with the Democratic Convention? Did they throw stones and tomatoes and rip off their shirts in protest? I can't recall.....it wasn't in the news.....
So yes, I agree with Dr. Laura. Do I believe that all politicans are legit? Hell no, in fact most probably aren't. But I do believe in my President and in his leadership. I agree that you simply cannot trust the side that hates.
On another topic, can anyone tell me why John Kerry wants to be President? Can anyone tell me why he should be President without using the words Vietnam and Bush's Mistake?
If someone tells me that he has nice hair I will literally toss my computer monitor out the window.......
Ok, maybe not THAT extreme. Hey, I am NOT going to lower myself to the liberal level, the hating step.
One last politcal note. George Bush said We Cannot Win the War on Terror. Everyone totally flips.....umm, duh? He's RIGHT. God, does America take EVERYTHING at face value? Do we ever listen rather than just hear anymore?
We won't win the war on terror because it's neverending. It's like murderers and rapists. You tag them one at a time and bring them down, bring them to justice. However, there will always be one more raping and killing. There is no stopping all evil, there is only protection from it and hunting it.
John Kerry cannot promise Peace as his party members cannot practice it.
John Kerry cannot promise the war on terror to stop with his homecoming for the troops.
Do not be fooled however because there is one thing John Kerry can do. He can promise us a world with a "nice looking" President with more hair than brains.

My latest letter to Doctor Laura:
Dear Dr. Laura,
You spoke with a woman earlier with a back problem. Her disc had come out 6.5 mm or something along those lines. She was “angry” about it. I wanted to thank you for explaining to this woman just how lucky she is.
My father recently experienced a similar accident. Just after beating kidney cancer he found out 2 of his discs had been ruptured and the only thing the doctors could say was “Morphine” and “Surgery”. He followed their orders and we lost our father while he was on 2 Morphine and 8 Percocet a day. He was loopy and never seemed to laugh as much.
He went up to surgery about 2 hours away, leaving his 4 children at home to run the family business. My mother, his wife of 23 years went with him as well as a few of their closest friends for support. Once he got on the table in surgery and he was put under, his oxygen dropped by 50%. The doctors were confused and brought him around. After running a number of tests and scaring us to death they could find NOTHING; nothing wrong, nothing that would have caused this.
It is my opinion that divine intervention and my grandmother in heaven is what brought him home to us safe and sound. He has decided to lose some weight and get the pressure off of his back. He got off of morphine and again, he laughs. He is still limited in his abilities, but the pain has really subsided and he has a family that is so thankful he’s home that we’re willing to help him wherever we can.
Thank you for explaining to that woman that she is lucky to be here with her family. Thank God that she did not have to go through the tears, the stress, and the fear of unknown that my family went though. Be thankful you’re here for your family and know that they are grateful to see you each morning.
Thanks
Sarah
