Biggest Loser - 11/17/09

Well, we are down to now two more episodes of the Biggest Loser and last night was Makeover Week. I pretty much saw it coming that they would dye Danny's hair and shave off Rudy's beard...neither one I was too happy with.

Yes, I know Danny looked younger, but what it this problem stylists have with gray hair. I mean Danny IS 39. Some of us have gray hair by then, but hey, if he likes it, he should keep it. Rudy looks good without the beard, but I also think the beard, when trimmed and neat works better for him.

They all looked great after their makeovers. Jen Wielgus, on another site,stated that Allen looked the best, looking super fly in his shimmery suit....I have to agree.

Well, in a nutshell though, I have been kind of hoping for Amanda to go in the last few weeks because I am tired of her whining and saying "it's too hard", but either she toughened up or editing worked in her favor because she lost 9 pounds. The guys pretty much kicked ass, with Danny losing 12 pounds, Rudy losing 15, and Allan losing 5. The two remaining women, Rebecca and Liz, lost 3, putting them below the yellow line. Liz at first didn't show much fight, but finally pleaded a case I agreed with...Rebecca is 25 and she is 49....this IS her last chance and she needs the house more.

Don't ask me about what Rudy said about trusting Rebecca, because I don't know....maybe it was something we didn't see because of editing...but anyway, Rebecca was voted off and I am pretty sure that if Amanda falters next week, she will find herself gone too. Kind of good to see people my age kicking 20-something butt.

Rebecca DOES look good though and she should be proud of herself for the half marathon she ran. I was in the military and I don't recall ever running 12 miles in a shot.

They should start calling this show The Biggest Loser Love Connection though...Rebecca and Daniel...who knew?

New England Patriots vs. Indianapolis Colts - Recap - November 15, 2009 - ESPN

This will definitely teach me NOT to go to bed early on the Colts. I went to bed at 10:45 last night after watching Randy Moss get a touchdown and the score was 31-14. Not wanting to see my Colts get their asses handed to them by the Pats again, I went to bed.

Damn......

Later add:
I got the next best thing...the highlight reel! Just seeing Tom Brady and Bill Belichick look stunned just puts a big ole' smile on my face.

Obama Bows and Wingnuts go crazy!!

Firing A Shot Across Obama's Bow - Coop's Corner - CBS News

Well, well...big surprise! President Obama has managed to upset the Right again because he showed some protocol and respect by bowing as he greeted the Japanese emperor. Never mind that it is our whole "we bow to no one" philosophy that continues to allow the world to think we are an arrogant people. The internet is all a twitter with articles and comments from Right Wingers giving Obama hell. Here's a few samples of comments I have seen regarding this bow.....


I'm sorry...but the AMERICAN HEAD OF STATE SHOULD NOT BOW TO ANY OTHER HEAD OF STATE>...A polite handshake would suffice.
This muslim is such a apologizing freak....the man lacks any leadership skills what-so-ever....BOWING....
My guess is that when we capture binaden he will invite him for some goats milk and cheese crumpets....to talk over the good times.....
Obama should be IMPEACHED for aiding and abetting terrorism!

The Groveler in chief strikes again. More surprised that he didn't kiss his derriere or maybe he did that but in a more private setting.

Obama should stand tall as did General MacArthur 64 years ago. America should bow to no nations or people, neither should Michelle touch the queen of England. Both seem to appear as uncultured buffoons. Akihito should be grateful that his father was allowed to live.

The half-black dirt bag seems to have a thing about bowing to foreigners. It makes one wonder what kind of deals he is making when he is on his pleasure junkets around the world. It is a given that he is making deals that are good for him and bad for the United States. I think he should move to Europe and be the half-black tyrant in one of those countries; since they are already wrecked, he would not be able to do quite so much damage.

Nah, you got it all wrong. Obama heard that Barney Frank was right behind him and he was simply lining up for the docking procedure!

Amazing, isn't it? The hate, the racism....for our own President. I wonder how many of these people went to church today showing what fine, upstanding Christians they were. I wonder how many of these people preached only a few years ago that we should respect and stand by our President NO MATTER WHAT. Oh, that's right...that was when a white Republican was our President. My mistake....

I guess they forgot this little gem in Presidential History.

Take a moment to honor a Veteran this Veteran's Day

see more Political Pictures

My whole life I have lived with Veterans. My dear grandfather was a veteran of World War II, my stepfather found his way to Laos during Vietnam, and my man is a veteran of the Iraq War. Living here in Northern NY, we are surround by veterans and their families on Fort Drum. Quite simply, even though none of it is simple, going to war changes a person. One never comes back the same. Please remember that today. Remember the sacrifice of these Veterans and their families today.

Veteran's Day is more than a day off or an excuse for a sale. It's about honoring those that left the safety of their homes and families to fight for something, sometimes coming back broken physically or mentally. Remember that today.

An Open Letter to Employers......

I have been looking for a full time since May. At first I didn't try too hard, but I kicked up my search in the summer and was hoping to find a new position before my kids went back to public school after 4 years of my homeschooling them. I currently work two part time jobs, but even with the two of them, I do not make 40 hours a week or have many benefits.

In the last 6 months, I have sent out countless resumes and sent enough self nominations to the Army that I have lost count of how many.

Out of all that, I have been to 4 interviews, one of which proceeded to a second interview. In the process of all this I have bought clothes, spent countless hours researching positions, bought the $15 resume paper, motivated myself Stuart Smalley style that I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!, spent gas money and even had to not take hours at my second job to get to an interview.

Do you know what I got in return.....nothing. Not a rejection letter, not an email, not a phone call. With all of them, I followed up with a call or an email asking for a status on my application and interview...one of them, I sent to twice.

Now I know some HR people out there are going to say, "Oh we have LOADS of resumes come in...we can't POSSIBLY answer EVERYONE'S inquires!", and I can understand that when it comes to someone just sending in a resume. If I don't hear from someone I sent a resume to, I just assume that my qualifications don't fit theirs, but when I physically am called into an interview, I expect better than the employer acting like I don't exist.

To me, when a business doesn't send some closure after a face-to-face interview, it comes off as cold, calloused, and unprofessional. Ten years ago I had less experience and education, yet I am having a harder time finding a full time job than I ever have had before. It's almost like ANOTHER part time job trying to find a full time job up here, so when I take the time to go for an interview and I can't even get the common courtesy of a rejection letter, quite honestly it pisses me off.

So, to all employers out there...please understand that looking for work is hard in this economy, please don't make it harder by not having some common human decency. It might be hard to put yourself in the shoes of a job seeker seeing as you have a job, but at least try.

Ok...off my soapbox now!!

Read today's WDT's All Politics Is Local column

A few days ago, I was on Facebook when one of my Facebook acquaintences linked the article from the Gouverneur Times article that stated that Bill Owens broke four campaign promises in his first hour. Of course, it wasn't long before many of the conservative blogs and news pages picked it up and all the teabaggers were in a frothing at the mouth twitter over how OF COURSE Bill lied....he's a Democrat right and how the people who voted for him were chumps that would soon learn their lesson. You know...the typical Conservative tendency to wait for a failure so they can celebrate the failure just to prove a point.....

Anyway, seems the article was misleading. I won't hash it out here....Jude's blog post does it so much better and with links too.

Good question.....
