IS EVERYBODY ELSE

as friggin sick and tired as I am at all these negative campaign ads. It's your fault, no, it's
yours, is not, is too,--------------man what a bunch of little kids we are being asked to
vote for this year. BUT, it brought a smile, yes I could say a laugh, out of me, because
it took me back a few years when Shannon and Bryan were little, and were at our house
on Shipman Ave. Both kids, maybe 3 & 4 yrs of age, came in crying and all of a sudden
Bryan said Grandma, it's not my fault, she hit me back first!. He gets MY vote

JUST BECAUSE----------------------------

HOW DO THEY DO THAT

Being a staunch Democrat it really was not a well known fact that I would be watching the REPUBLICAN convention, but I
was. After it was over all I could say was WOW!, that governor of Alaska blew me away. Not to mention Mayor Giuliani. Man
if someone had come to me last night and said Rudy and Sarah are on the ballot and you can vote now, well, for the first time
in my life I would have voted for a republican for President.

Mayor G has always been a favorite of mine and he did not let me down last night. I believe he would just jump in and handle
any situation that would arise, maybe not the way I would want him too, but at least he would do something, even if it was
wrong.
I mainly tuned in because I wanted to hear more from the VP soon-to-be-nominated candidate. I really liked her. I loved her
sense of humor, that look she gets on her face when she is going to say something sassy, her messy hair (she certainly didn't
look like she just got out of the beauty salon), the funny names she named her kids (must be a story there somewhere) and
the love she shows her family. Did you see that little girl (don't have the names straight yet). She was holding her baby
brother and I guess decided he needed a "do", so she licked her entire palm and tried to give him a hairstyle. I loved it.

I went to bed feeling upbeat and thinking maybe the country isn't as big a mess as I thought it was. Ha! Woke up this morning
to the news about scandal at the executive level in Alaska, and then to my amazement an e mail from the Democratic Party
telling me what a bunch of lies I listened to last night. How did they know what I was watching, what I was thinking and
what I was considering doing. When I am thru here I a going to sail my computer out the window, cut all my telephone lines
and let my cell phone go dead and throw away the charger. I will cover all the outlets, seal the bathroom keyhole, play
loud music on my CD and maybe they wont know what I am going to do next. How do they do it. I don't know, heck I don't
even know what I am going to do next. Oh well, I guess BIG BROTHER is watching and listening.

Help--------------I* need some privacy
