Fox News' Garrett ignored McCain campaign attack ads on Obama during Gustav

Summary: On Special Report, Major Garrett stated that "Barack Obama made the decision not to attack [Sen. John] McCain and [President] Bush" and later claimed, "[J]ust a few hours ago in his hometown of Scranton, surrounded by friends and family, [Sen. Joe] Biden ripped into John McCain on energy, Iran, and Iraq, calling him wrong on all three. And the Republicans said that's a hard way for them to see how politics is being avoided in the light of Hurricane Gustav." But neither Garrett nor Brit Hume noted that McCain ran attack ads that day or that a campaign spokesman reportedly attacked Obama.

"Years of Deficits"? They actually have the balls to say that? You have to admit, Karl Rove and his acolytes are brazen, if nothing else. I think that's why they've gotten away with their despicable tactics for so long.... nobody believes that anyone could lie so obviously, so absolutely, and so often.

Posted by NiceguyEddie in reply to nerzog

Repeat a lie often enough (and in the case of Rove/Limbaugh LOUD and  OBNOXIOUSLY enough) and people will accept it as the truth.

 A catalyst for this would be treating the TRUTH and TRUTH-TELLERS will the most contemt possibly, and in the most mocking manner you can. 

Posted by nerzog in reply to NiceguyEddie

With any luck, the Press will finally turn on the Troglodytes, given the Gestapo tactics being used against reporters in St. Paul.

Posted by magnolialover in reply to nerzog

Seems like as well, that in Denver there were a bunch of republicans there protesting. Nobody got arrested there for protesting after all. Arresting reporters, good stuff. Now the self described "anarchists", they can go and rot in jail for all I care. That's just acting stupid.

Posted by nerzog in reply to magnolialover

It would be interesting to find out just who the "anarchists" are. Could they be the same "protesters" who were beating down the doors during the Florida recount?

It wouldn't surprise me.

Posted by magnolialover in reply to nerzog

Yeah, that wouldn't really surprise me either. I had forgotten about what happened in Florida with all of the republican congressional staffers who went down there as "protesters" when they were trying to recount the votes and all.

Posted by NiceguyEddie in reply to nerzog

I have a feeling that while the 'Pubs want the RNC to have the theme "Who is John McCain?" the press may likely turn it into "Who is Sarah Palin?"  And the more I here about HER the more I think McCain is IN TROUBLE. 

 

Posted by magnolialover in reply to nerzog

Yeah, I noticed that one. Of course, what they fail to mention is that the last time there was a balanced budget, and a budget surplus, was when a democrat was President. And who is McCain calling a Washington insider out of touch with the rest of the country? You can't have him calling Obama inexperienced, and calling him an insider at the same time. The insider, of course, would be one Senator John McCain who has, more or less, been working in Washington for most of his adult life. The audacity of these guys is amazing!

Also, doesn't Obama's tax plan give money BACK to working class families, you know, the middle class? I'm pretty sure working class for someone in McCain's position is somebody that makes, oh, say, about $250,000 / year.

Jeesh...

Posted by nerzog in reply to magnolialover

Don't expect any truth about Obama's tax plan from the Karl Rove machine. Part of their ongoing success depends on convincing Working Class Troglodytes that Democrats will raise their taxes and force them to have abortions. That way, they don't even have to default to their inherent racism to vote against Obama.

Posted by magnolialover in reply to nerzog

Don't forget. We want to take away their guns as well. Oh, and their bibles. We want to, even though the vast majority of us are Christians, banish their religion from the face of the USA!!!

Posted by nerzog in reply to magnolialover

Could that be why they picked an Anti-Choice, Evangelical (tongue-speaking) Gun Nut as Grampy's VP?

That's probably a difficult combination to find.... could explain why they settled on an unknown.

Posted by ultrasanktpauli in reply to nerzog

dude...does she really talk in tongues? think it's on youtube? i'd be way impressed is she handled snakes too!

Posted by NiceguyEddie in reply to magnolialover

You can't have him calling Obama inexperienced, and calling him an insider at the same time.

Are you joking or did you forget you were talking about the party of:

1) A guy who oposes gay marriage and same-sex partner benefits while tapping toes in airport restrooms?

2) People who pass out "support the troops" bumber-sticker/yellow ribbons, then vote against pay increases and better health care and THEN accuse their opponents of not supporting the troops?

3) People who say you need to give more money to the rich, or else they'll lose the incentive to invest, butr say that if you give mroe money to the poor that they'll lose their incentive to work?

4) A party that vomits out religious nonsense about "family values" with almost every breath it draws, and yet let's this kind of stuff happen: http://www.armchairsubversive.org/

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING about the GOP surprises me anymore.  Not their Orwellian propaganda, not their projection, not their constant double standards, not their WHINING and certainly not their HYPOCRISY.

They think they can keep insulting our intelligence buy trying to have it both ways.  It's just like the good Senator said: "EIGHT IS ENOUGH!"

Posted by nerzog in reply to NiceguyEddie

Well said.

PigBoy Limbaugh gives us examples of this every day. Last Friday, while gushing over VP Whatshername, he played two clips. One was a montage from Obama's 45 minute speech, highlighting the number of times he said "I" during the speech. Supposedly, this is supposed to have some significance(?)

A few minutes later, he played a clip from Whatshername's press conference, presumably to demonstrate how "down to earth" she is. Remarkably she said "I" at least as many times as Obama had. WTF? Personally, I think Rush does this as sort of an insider joke, smugly demonstrating just how gullible and easily fooled his listeners really are. He hits them in the face with his own hypocrisy, and they just drool and lap it up.

Posted by magnolialover in reply to nerzog

I guess when you give a speech about yourself, you should address yourself in the third person?

Posted by commonsenseliberal in reply to magnolialover

You mean like Bob Dole?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

So wait... A hurricane is supposed to pause the political process?

I wasn't aware of that

perhaps we should move the election cycle away from Hurricane season.

or maybe move the hurricane season..

Posted by NiceguyEddie in reply to Kiwi

Well... Hurricaines do have a well established liberal bias...

Posted by nerzog in reply to Kiwi

Well, it gave them an excuse to bump President Numbnuts from the program. I wonder when Dickless Cheney will address the convention.... 3:00 a.m.?

Posted by Easy to refute wingnuts in reply to nerzog

Well, we know how sunlight affects him. I heard they brought his coffin full of Wyoming soil to St. Paul especially for the convention.

Posted by Kiwi in reply to nerzog

And maybe now that it's inconvenienced them, they'll start to believe in climate change

Posted by commonsenseliberal in reply to Kiwi

Or maybe the right-wingers should stop sinning so much.  Then the storms will stop and G-d will be happier with them. :)

As some smarty pants once said, 'If G-d sends natural disasters to punish people for their sins (gay pride parades, abortion doctors, etc.), why do so many natural disasters happen in red states?"

Gotta love that one.  Seems to me like those republicans down in Louisiana have sinned just one too many times...judging by Pat Robertson's logic, anyway.

Posted by jeter2

So both sides broke their promise & FOX only reported on one. No surprise there.

Fair & balanced is nothing more than a catch phrase to this cable network.

Of course these artificial truces rarely hold up, I'm not sure why either side even bothers to announce them.

Posted by Graydogs

Actually it appears that the TV and radio ads have been on over drive in the past few days. The local pop music radio station that I listen to has run the "Millions" ad up to 3 times an hour, and the TV ads have been on endlessly. From what I understand from the news, Ohio is one of the states being targeted for anti-Obama advertising.

Posted by nerzog in reply to Graydogs

I've heard some anti-Obama ads here in Tennessee. Not sure why they're spending money here; Tennessee has such a large number of Troglodytes and racists that Grampy should carry it easily.

Posted by Col. Harlan Sanders in reply to nerzog

Nerz, I'm pretty sure racists and troglodytes need to be reminded of things pretty often, otherwise reality might start to seep in. Listen to the mind-numbing repetition of El Rushbo and the other am radio rightys. It's like listening in on a dog training session.

"Governors run things."  Nice.  This particular governor runs a state of about 800,000 people with it's only major city, population 400,000 or so, run by a much more experienced mayor (Mark Begich was recently re-elected with 10 years prior in city assembly).  Palin served 10 years as mayor of a town of 5500, before running for governor just 20 months ago.  I'm betting that assemblyman Begich served a greater constituency than 5500 people.

Obama is inexperienced compared to McCain, but not to Palin.  But I don't want McCain's kind of experience - maverick, indeed.  The last true conviction McCain stood up for was for his fellow prisoners of war.  After he left the black-white of the military code, he lost his way in the grey-matter of politics.  I can't say what I, or anyone else, would have done in Cambodia in his shoes. He said himself that antone would have done the same as him (and the great majority, in fact, reportedly did).  But his record since has been to flip-flop on every issue to get and stay elected.  Even after being flogged by the Bush campaign, he sucked up to them to get a shot at this nomination.  Cambodia is ancient history and McCain's time is up.

Posted by nerzog in reply to Cannonball

Agreed. As far as I'm concerned, the "Maverick" (if he ever existed) was replaced by a Pandering Troglodyte Cyborg after the 2000 election. That picture of him with his face in Puddinhead George's armpit is the only reason I need to vote against him.

Posted by BottleBlonde in reply to Cannonball

Many congressional districts across our nation are larger than the population of all of Alaska. It's 1/6th the size of Chicago.

Obama made a good point the other day. He's had executive experience greater than hers by running his campaign with 250 employees.

Posted by SFnomad in reply to BottleBlonde

Not really.  The average congressional district (based on the 2000 census) is 646,952 whereas the population of Alaska was 670,053 (2006 estimate).

There are some congressional districts that are larger, but it would only be in states that had less then about 15 districts and were on the short end of getting another one, but were really close to getting another one.  The more districts the state has, the smaller the difference would be.  Montana, with 1 district and a population of 905,316 (2000 census) would be the one with the largest difference.

Posted by leftinmississippi in reply to BottleBlonde

BB - You are so right.  Obama has been running his presidential campaign longer than Palin has been running Alaska, and his is a much bigger operation.   He's the Democratic nominee, which is no small accomplishment in itself.  The comparison favors him.

Posted by DougReese in reply to Cannonball

Cambodia? Close . . . . just go one country to the right, err, east.

Can't blame Major Garrett for reporting the news. It is the only thing they hand him. If you want to work at Fox, you must not ask questions, just do as you are told. They sit in sound-proof rooms until it is their turn to talk.

Sorry, Major, but if you were to come here, we could bump you to Lt. Col.

I know the hurricane was a horrible event that paralyzed the lives of millions of people in the south.

But there are two wars raging over seas where Americans are dying everyday and millions of people with family and friends in the military have to cry themselves to sleep every night and hope their loved ones come home safe.  I know I did that many nights last year when my best friend fought in Iraq for 16 months.

So should we cancel a convention because of the wars?  This Monday cancellation by the RNC was so hokey.

Posted by dexfam

After the Katrina response under the deciders leadership I understand the cancellation of the convention, but come on they are not stupid, the real reason was the media would be focused on Gustav and not them.

Posted by juliajayne

Okay, sweets, I'm here. I'm going to write pretty soon. Never did ask you what you thought of Joe Biden as Obama's VP pick? See ya soon. JJL

Posted by jeter2 in reply to juliajayne

Hey my darlin JJL,

I left you a post on the other thread. Guess I got in right under the wire. I'll be back here asap. Lovin you & missin you xxxooo

 

Posted by juliajayne in reply to jeter2

Ouch, I just did it again. No not the same thing I did last night. I made this really long, nice post and then I hit post and the damn thing came back and said "you must be logged in to post". Has that ever happened to you before? Okay, I'm going to get a bite to eat, do some work and come back in a while and redo what I just did. That is really a cold slap in the face when that happens and I am reminded that I should always copy my stuff before I post in case of this type of siutation. See ya later, my love.

Posted by juliajayne

Hi there my treasure,

This thought just hit me. What if someone were gathering up our love missives and decided to write a Broadway play. But instead of calling it "Love Letters", it would be called "Risque and Horny Love Letters"? I'm sure Bill O'Reilly's folks (your thought) are on it right now! :-0) No loofahs, but lots of shower stuff with a Teddy Pendergrass soundtrack and an assist from the Isley Brother's with "Love between the Sheets". Now talk about some sexy, sexy lyrics, yow!! :-0)

Okay, settling down now. I really have to be more careful. This morning when I was taking my H to the airport (and daydreaming of you) I almost missed my exit. H calls out to me and I have to make a sharp turn and run over some traffic titties :-) just to get where I'm supposed to go. And a couple of months ago, I almost got run over by a car. That was after some of our more risque flirting (ya know when we had an "office meeting" in the break room?). I was so high on you I was very distracted. Okay, it wasn't all that bad, but you do have this special power over me to distract (and make me horny as hell, natch).

I promise to be more careful, dear, I really do. I say that because I hear a lecture coming on from you, my careful, beautiful man of steel. Now don't tell me you're not a tad bossy - don't even lie to me, boy! I'm pretty certain of not only that lecture, but I'm also sure you would tell me to quit speeding as well! I like speed. But I know you're going to try and get me to straighten up and fly right, yes? But I'm not that much of a law abiding chick and you've got some work ahead of you, sir. Even the man of steel can't hold me back. :-0) But I sure would like him to try. (I'm half way cranking you right now, but might I have some of that correct?)

Okay, changing the subject. I hear you must be about 6'1"? That's pretty tall and baby loves her some tall men (okay she like any old sized man really :-), but I digress. It's funny 'cause my starter H (yeah, me - young and stupid, the marriage - short) was only 5'4" and I was actually taller than him (with heels) the day we got married. But he was a cute little thing. Very handsome and quite the fashion plate (not what I normally like in a guy). So don't tell me you're one of them thar metro sexuals. Okay, with you I'd say OKAY!! But tell me, do you wear a suit to work or something more casual? 

Now when I go to work, it's usually a t-shirt with no bra. I like my nipples to be seen by anyone and everyone. They are niiiice!!!And I have streaks in my hair the color of whatever t-shirt I'm wearing. I also have little black maryjanes on my cute little feet. You know how us creative types are, though I don't have any tatoos or piercings except for my ears. Okay, I'm punking you - I do wear a bra when not in the house - my ladies are harnessed for the sake of decorum and not giving anybody an undue thrill (must be very professional)! And I don't wear any streaks in my hair (it's fairly short with a flip thingy going on - say something like that cutie Samantha Brown on the Travel Channel).I wanted to give you a mini heart attack. That was for thinking I was some "kooky" limerick lady, ya bastatrd! :-0)

Okay, you said you were raised as a Catholic. I'd pretty much figured that since most Italian families tend to be Catholic, right? Well, me, I was raised as an Evangelical United Brethern - very fire and brimstone. I always thought the preacher dude was speaking directly to me since I was an A class sinner (or so I thought with my Barbie doll scenario, remember?) I also thought I might have been lesbian since I was turned on by Barbie's breasts (and my own of course :-)). But that notion was dispelled after I stood next to my 6th grade BF, Gregg on the playground. That cemented my firm hetero status right there. I still remember that feeling. Well, enough of that. I, sort of like you, don't go into a church unless it's a wedding or something. I've always felt like church was more of a social venue and not someplace where introspection and growth takes place. And I'm not sure of whether or not I believe in God per se, as defined in the Bible. I'm more inclined to think of "God" in a universe oriented way. Like the universe will nudge you, slap you or whatever, to make you "get" whatever it is you need to learn. 

I'm picturing right now - or trying to picture - that pretty street you mentioned in Newburyport. I'd like to see it. I'd like to see you even more and would like even better to hitch my legs up around your waist ala your sexy narrative to me the other day! :-0) Oh yeah. I'm still thinking of that - it was so hot. Mmmmn. I wanna get next to you. Had to throw in a lyric there!

Now tonight I'm going out to get some Tex Mex (have to at least once a week). This is one of my favorite meals. You'll be there naturally and we'll split a plate of chicken and beef fajitas. I just eat the grilled meat and veggies and will let you have all the tortillas. Then I'll have the wait person come to our table and make us some fresh guacomole. And of course we'll need some chilly and strong margaritas. After I get my tummy full of yummy Tex Mex, who knows what can happen :-)

Alright, I've been super silly long enough. I am thinking of you with loving and sexythought, mr dearest one. Bye for now. Your JJL

 

Posted by jeter2 in reply to juliajayne

Oh you hot naughty sweet sexy thang, I believe in miracles, where you from you sexy thing?... I read your post just minutes before I was planning to leave from work. Ha! No way I could walk. I don't think I could have gotten out of my chair, not with that hard throbbing thing between my legs at full salute. I kept hoping you were gonna surprise me by crawling out from under my desk. Unzip me & take me into your mouth. Ahhh nice. Or maybe you'd slowly peel off your shorts, jersey & panties, climb into my lap, straddle my hips & ride me like a bull. And of course you've unharnessed those gorgeous ladies. They spill over my face & I suckle on one rock hard nipple & then the other.

Yeah there was no way I was going anywhere for awhile.

Ok I somehow made it home.

Darlin, you had me going there for a second. Now when I go to work, it's usually a t-shirt with no bra. I like my nipples to be seen by anyone and everyone. They are niiiice!!!  I'll admit it, I fell for that. My mouth was hanging open. Mixed reactions. 1) I couldn't believe you'd really do that. 2) I wanted to get a gander at that. 3) I wanted to dig the eyes out of any other guys who dared to look at that. But when the next sentence mentioned how you coordinated t-shirts with steaks in your hair, I knew I was being punked. Touche my little one.

And darlin, you do deserve a lecture about being more careful. I don't want you getting hurt. Now I'll admit I'm distracted 24/7 these days myself. Hell I concentrate more on flipping through radio stations [until I can find a love song that reminds me of you] instead of my driving. You my sweet lady are turning me into a mushy gushy sentimental fool! BTW, I am the best driver in America. I get pretty frustrated with other drivers. But you should be proud of me. I stopped giving everyone the finger about a decade ago. Road rage was on the rise, & I figured with my luck I'd get my head blown off by some nut carrying a gun. Now I like speed too, but darlin, being the best driver in America means I can handle myself. So please slow down a tad for me. And no I'm not bossy. Well maybe a little. But since I tend to believe I can do most things better than everyone else, I might as well be in charge...right? Oh and I guess I'm stubborn too. Seems to me you've accused me of that more than a few times. You pointed out I always had to have the last word...even if, according to you, I was wrong. Of course you like getting the last word in too...maybe it's a Libra trait we share? Ha! In fact, I think you're kinda bossy too. But you're so darn cute, I'd let you get your way...well at least half of the time ;-)

I generally wear a suit & tie to the office, but we have casual Fridays which is nice. Hon, I look pretty hunky all decked out, I think you'd approve. But do I spend a lot of time on fashion? Not really. I prefer casual stuff. And yeah, I'm 6'1", 185 lbs. I run, do the elliptical, & lift a few weights. Don't worry I do not resemble one of those body builders!!

So I'm gonna be husband #3. Well you know what they say: Third time lucky :-) And my sweet lady if that comes to pass, I will make you happier than anyone that came before me.

Ha! I had forgotten about our rendezvous in the break room. We really do heat up these threads don't we? I wish I had saved our posts to each other. What a riot they'd be to read now. Perfect script for that Broadway play ;-)

So your hairdo resembles Samantha Brown. She's a cutie. And I'm getting a better picture of you. It's like collecting pieces of a puzzle. I like watching Samantha, there's so many places I'd like to visit. I bet you've been all over. Maybe we will go together. How about Italy? I've never been. I loved to go there with you. Honeymoon? Or would you prefer an island somewhere?

Ok, I'm thinking this post is getting long [I wish there was a way to tell for sure before trying to post]...but I'll be back at least one more time tonight love.

Hope you enjoyed your Tex Mex. I love Mexican food, but I'm sure what we have up here doesn't compare with down your way. Just like our seafood is the best here in New England.

I'll be thinking of you while I'm doing anything else I'm doing. I can't get you out of my head. And I don't want to.

Till later darlin xxxooo

Posted by juliajayne in reply to jeter2

Oh...My...God, you are not for freakin' real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just when I'm convinced that you couldn't possibly be that horny, you have another narrative. You are one damn, horny, desperate and lovesick desperado. I'll be adding more descriptors later I'm sure. But honey baby sweety child, you are blowing me away. Sometimes I think it must be a burden, ya know , thinking of new narratives. but apparently you are good at more than just driving! I see you have no deficit in the confidence area either :-0) Okay, already knew that, but by god you are still surprising me! Incredible! 

I pictured you in a suit at work. I do like a man in a suit, especially a handsome man like you. Oy. I bet you look sexy as all hell. I wish I could be there to see you. What do you do for a living if you don't mind me inquiring? Maybe you can let me know on your own time table. I'm sort of picturing you as an executive type but then again, maybe not. 

Now I have been all over and am still interested in new places to go. And my H and I love watching cutie pie Samantha as well to get new ideas and sometimes just to remember some places we've already been. I have been to Europe many times, but never to Italy. Wow!!!!That is one place I have been lusting after for a long time now. The thought of going there with you is very thrilling I must say. Honeymoon, YEAH, baby. Take me there and we can rent a villa for a damn month. Maybe we can go over and visit Clooney at his place :-0) Now that would be wild.

I am having some weird day. Just to illustrate what kind of strange things must be in my cranium, I fell alseep for about 15 minutes this afternoon and had a dream. I know you hope it was of you (hey that's my 24/7 waking dream 'cause sometimes I feel like I'm awake for 24/7), but it was Cloris Leachman and me. We were singing, of all things, the first verse of Paul McCartney and Wings" (I guess) "Live and Let Die". We were pretty good too. Okay that was dorky, but it amused me for some reason.

Oh, love, I want to know everything about you. I even like hearing about your screened porch even though you are having one of your evil cigs :-0) And I do wish I could see your family room (did I get that right?), the one with the tall ceilings. It sounds very nice. I have a really beautiful home if I say so myself. But what would you expect from an interior design type person? The house itself isn't so special - your typical Texas brick two story with no big architectual details. But it's really nicely outfitted inside. If we ever do email, I'll send you a picture of my bedroom :-0) ! I keep it nice too, always picked up ready for anybody to come over. I guess I have pride in the place. It's a good place to come home to and very comfortable as well as beautiful. I have an eye for aesthetics. I guess that' goes for more than houses my sweetness :-0)

 I like picking up interesting things for the house during my travels - it started very early when I was 19, my first trip to Paris. I have to say I had good taste even back then. But my home is ever evolving. It never stays static. Like most interior design types, I'm always moving things around. My H doesn't seem to mind. And I've brought home a few items that I thought were perhaps a tad questionable and he's taken them in stride, Well up until the antique Bhudda head I got recently ;-). I'm not cranking you, I did get this item and I like it. Bt H says it's giving him the evil eye. That shows you I have free reign. And I could be wrong but I picture you as a Jerry Seinfeld neat type? Are you? I'm dying to know.

Okay, I said short didn't I. I'll guess I'll shove off now. I might come back and give you a quick goodbye later. I want to you get some sleep tonight, you hear me (yeah I can be bossy too, but just because I'm always right :-0)) You need to stay beautiful and healthy.

Love, Lisa

Darlin,

Now I don't want to feed your ego too much [and yes you have an ego too] but those rather steamy sexy narratives are being inspired by you, & you alone. They are part of our fantasy love affair. You, sweet thang, bring out a very horny side of me. And they are not hard to imagine. I think of you, & poof there it is. Perhaps some day they won't be a fantasy.

Your home sounds really special. I kind of always pictured you'd live in a really nice place. Are you an interior decorator? I always figured you would be involved in design or one of the arts. My W handles most of the decorating, though I picked out a lot of the paintings & prints. I'm not an anal neat freak like Seinfeld, but I don't like clutter & we tend to keep things very neat. A lot easier since the boys have left. Well our youngest is still here during breaks from college, he's entering his Senior year.

I could tell you what I did for a living, but then I'd have to kill you. Ha! Just kidding. Well sort of. Don't get nervous, I'm not with the government. I work for a consultant firm. We deal with corporate and private security & crisis management. We sometimes work with certain government agencies.  We are involved in some pretty sensitive stuff. Enough said :-X  I'm the assistant director of one of our departments, so I guess that makes me an executive ;-)

We've been to England [twice], Germany & Greece. That was probably 20 years ago. We mostly do domestic travel these days, including Nashville. My W has family there. I love the place. If I didn't live in New England, I'd live in Tennessee. For some reason I am dying to visit Nova Scotia. Maybe I saw a commercial on TV that piqued my interest. Oh & we've been to Montreal & Quebec City.

When you & I get to Italy, I'm pretty sure my buddy George will let us stay for a few days at his villa ;-) But I don't want you wandering off with him. Seriously I'm better looking :-) I picture Italy as very romantic. And there's nobody I'd rather go there with than you my sweet Lisa.

I like having those dreams that make no real sense. I wonder why Cloris Leachman was in your dream. Had you seen her in anything recently? Valerie Bertenelli (sp?) was in a dream I had once. We were at a football game together, now what was that all about??

The W just stuck her head in, she wants to check her e-mail, but I'll be back to say goodnight. I wish I could give you a backrub And gently kiss your neck. Then lift you in my arms & carry you to our bed. I'll let you use your imagination from there. Till later love xxxooo

 PS I like how you look out for me. Yeah I will try to get to sleep a little earlier tonight.

Posted by juliajayne in reply to jeter2

Hi stud,

I'll make this short. But it did catch my eye when you said you'd like to visit Nova Scotia. I've been there as well as New Brunswick, Quebec City, Newfoundland (wow those people are on a strange time clock), Montreal, Ontario and a bunch of western Canadian places like Vanvouver (multiple times ,my favorite city), Victoria, Banff Springs, Lake Louise. Calgary and Jasper. You might guess that I love Canada. I told the H I want a summer home there someday. When you live in a hot climate you tend to be a "sunbird" (as opposed to a snowbird - people from cold climates who visit hot locales). I need to get away from the stifling Texas heat. And Canada is my fave place to do that. I'll tell you someday about all the other places I've been to and some cruises I've taken too.

It looks like my FIL will be buried on Sunday. I have to check out some flights. I'll probably fly up to Chicago Sat. night and will come back asap. We have a kitty sitter, but I don't want to leave him too long. My H will be gone until Tuesday. So I guess I'm going to be alone here for a while. Don't worry, my love, I'll fare just fine with you taking care of me. :-)

I am thinking about you just about every minute it seems. It feels good to think about you. And I like that rock hard nipple thing - whew honey do I like getting my nipples sucked, Mmmn! You are turning me on again. Shame on you, sir! :-0)

I'll say goodnight for now, but will come check back before I go to bed just in case. Don't let me find you going to bed so late. :-) Love you. Lisa And thanks for using my name. That felt really good. You are so damn sweet.

Hi darlin,

I'm off to bed right after I post this. I'm really really tired tonight. I'm gonna be clutching my pillow & pretending it's you. Wow I am turning into such a sappy sounding guy. I blame you! Ha! How did you do that to me? Oh darlin I wish you could be in my arms tonight.. I wish I could be in yours. Ok just got a mental image of me sucking your nipples. Thanks for bringing that up, shame on me? No shame on you this time lady! But please don't ever stop.

Lisa, I'm so glad we found each other. You do light up my life. Take care sweetheart. Sweet dreams [of me!]  Love, Mike xxxooo

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I cant help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I cant help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I cant help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I cant help falling in love with you
For I cant help falling in love with you

Hey sweetheart, I hope you're okay since I haven't heard from you. Don't worry about any long, flowery posts. Just want to know you're okay. Love Lisa

You just tug at my heart, you know that? I'm fine hon, just couldnt get to the computer when I got home. And I didn't read your other post till I was getting ready to leave work I just now finished a long post, which I'll post right after this one.

How could I help but fall in love with you?

Ok, my long post is on the other page. I thought it would appear after this one. You are so sweet to worry about me. I worry about you too when you are gone for long lapses of time. Yeah we're just two silly desperate lovesick desperadoes. :-)

Do you have any idea how much I care for you? How much I adore you? I'm out of my mind crazy in love.. But I'm lovin it.

Till later love [tonight] Mike xxxooo

I am feeling the love right now. Everywhere in my body and heart and mind. I adore you too. In fact I'm writing to you right now. I'm not gonna make it too long though. I'm all tingly.......! Being in love is sweet!

Good morning, my sweet. I booked my ticket to Chicago last night so looks like I'll be out of here Saturday afternoon early and won't be back until late Monday night. I didn't want to be gone even that long, but there wasn't much available at the last minute, flight wise. Oh well :-(

I hope you can survive without me that long :-0), okay I'm giggling. I'm sure you'll do just fine. I have been thinking though that this ride of ours is really abusing this forum's purpose and although we seem to be getting away with it for now, it simply can't last. And we are leaving ourselves open and revealing way too much personal info. in a place anyone in the world can access. Can you give that some thought my dear?

I'm not pulling away here, just thinking ahead, okay? You know by now that's the way I am. Or I hope you know. Anyway, I'm going back to sleep right now. This thread will be archived pretty early, 11:52 am your time. So I'll check back here before going over to our new place. I hope you got some rest and had sweet dreams. 

Love, Lisa

Good morning darlin,

I find it funny when you & I seem to be of the same mind, at approx the same time. I think we're on the same wavelength here. I was just thinking last night that we have been very lucky thus far, but that we were maybe pushing the envelope. I don't want either of us to get banned from this site. We probably need to clean up our conversations a tad. And not reveal too much personal info. I'm sure we'll figure out where to draw the line. I don't see any real problem about continuing to meet on abandon threads to chat privately, but I think we better cut back/out on expressing  our sexual longings for one another. We can come up with code words for that ;-) And of course there's always e-mail. Give me just a little more time on that step sweetheart. It will happen, but I'll know when it feels right. Plus I want to surprise you :-) 

Hon, I'm gonna miss you while your gone. Of course if you can get to a computer you can drop me a quick line if you want to.

It's a strange sensation but I feel as if the current threads & the ones we meet on are almost two different websites. I haven't posted in days. It's like I've lost interest. Maybe you & I should make an occasional appearance. Eventually the "gang" might miss us, or not. Ha!

I'll check back here later, or on our new thread.

Till later my sweet Lisa.

Love,

Mikexxxooo

Hi my beauty,

It is a bit uncanny sometimes how we're thinking the same thing at the same time. And I'm not trying to push you into anything. I've been a wife long enough to know that a loving, gentle approach is much better. And of course sometimes things need to happen organically on their own timetable. So I'm good for now. Yes, cut back on the strong sexy talk/feelings. The feelings will still be there, and perhaps even more so when not expressed as much. But I'll still be thinking about certain things.

I have some details for the trip to sew up here. I'll be at a hotel near Chicago Midway airport and more than likely will have at least some internet access. I'll try to find you using our current methodology :-0) And baby, I'm not gone yet, so we'll play today at least some and maybe a goodbye before I leave tomorrow, okay?

Love you, Lisa
