Good Morning all,
Yah , I always hated those calls in for work anyway they came. We had a weekly schedule which was post each Friday but sometimes like your job when someone else called it they had to call us in rotation of our seniority. Being Union we they didn't we would get paid anyway.
Not a lot going on today here. DH has to hook up the battery to my caddy as we unhooked it this time to see if that would keep the battery from going down. It has alarm and that runs the battery down when we leave .
I need to get to my workout and get it out of the way.
Oops, I see Alabama and I opened at the same time this morning, moving my post over.
Yah posted on yesterday's topic earlier this morning, if you missed it.
We got a lot of the event set up done last night. Got home around nine. Ate really bad since we didn't have time for supper before we went. So I may pay the price for it this weekend. Hope not, but I'll pack some pain pills just in case. Have a load of laundry in now and will pack up the truck and car when I am done here. With all of the construction going on we lost the parking lot I normally use at school so there will be less parking and carrying things further. So I think I'll go down early even though I don't need to be there as early as I'd planned. Got reminded at 8:00 last night that they still need baked goods for the cake wheel but I didn't get anything made last night. It was almost 10 until I had time to do it and I just didn't feel like it anymore last night. Have to see if I have anything easy I can make when I get off here. If not, I am not going to stress over it. It isn't like I committed to baking anything.
Well better get moving, lots to get done.
Wishing you all a good day and a great weekend.
Not much going on here today either. Cody is in Billings at the race. He left yesterday. I am going shopping with my MIL tomorrow then we are going to a BBQ on Sunday at my X SIL. It should be a fun weekend at least. I think, if the sun comes out I will take Charger and Sissy to the small little grove here and let Charger get some play time in. He is being a good boy, but I know he is bored.
Di, good luck this weekend. I hope you don't get too much pain from the bad food.
Bama, thanks for opening. I hope disconnecting your battery helped.
Hi to everyone else! I hope everyone has a good weekend!
Hi ladies,
Notice no good morning as I got next to nothing for sleep.
Bama, I see no honeymoon for you either and yikes on the fox. I don't know much about them. Not much exciting happening here either
Sorry about the surprise work day YAH and I just love the start to the day pic and thanks for showing me bleeding hearts. Hope your Friday goes well.
Thanks for the start Bama, and hope the Caddy will start.
Dianna, glad you got some set up done. Hope the eats don't bother you too much. Yikes on the baked goods now. Good luck with all the work and cooking you need to do.
Angii, sounds like a wonderful weekend for you and your idea for Sissy and Charger sounds like a lot of fun too. Hope the weather cooperates too.
Well taking my very tired (next to no sleep last night) body off to eat and vacuum.
Not too much going on here today. I'm waiting for DH to finish his photo editing. He swears he isn't putting it off, but he's gone off to run two errands already this morning. I want to get the last of the orders IN so we can move on to something else. Of course we will have to figure out what frames need to be ordered. After that I will look at the credit card bill and see what the damage is.
Went out for dinner with a couple of friends last night. Newer restaurant in town (several years old) and they have done a great job remodeling, but the prices are higher and I was really disappointed in the food. I ordered a bloody mary and it was nothing more than tomato juice and a splash of vodka. No spices, no celery, olives, limes, etc. Totally tasteless! I still need to eat softer things so I ordered a meatloaf sandwich - OMG it was terrible! All set up "fou-fou" (sort of) but the meatloaf was dry and tough, not enough mashed potatoes to sneeze at and a dribble of gravy. Ugh! Another friend raved about his steak, but I know we can get better steaks elsewhere in town. DH said his hamburger was just ok. I don't think I'll be spending my limited dining out budget there again.
That's about it from here. I'm going stir crazy and going to see if we can get out of town for a couple of days before the 4th of July crowd hits. Need some big lake time and some good fish & chips and lake trout.
Sorry about your disappointing meal, Barb. I hope you can plan a little getaway that won't dent your budget.
I'm sending some energetic thoughts your way, Sue. I didn't get much sleep last night either, but it's such a nice day, I feel pretty good anyway.
Sounds like a fun weekend, Angii--enjoy it! I hope Cody was in a better mood before he left, or at least is when he gets back.
Good luck with the relay, Dianna; I'll be thinking of you all!
Bama, I meant to tell you, I made your banana cake last week when DS was here. I changed the frosting (my favorite frosting is toasted marshmallow cream beaten with a block of cream cheese, so I used that), but didn't mess with the cake other than subbing in the outrageously expensive GF Better Batter mix for the flour. It was really yummy--so moist and buttery tasting--everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing the recipe. DH says I have to make it again soon.
Sorry about the hurry up morning yesterday, YAH! You'll be ready for a sauna by Sunday night, I'll bet!
Nothing too exciting going on here. I've got 2 loads of laundry on the line and did DA's shower; just crossing off little jobs on the To Do list.
Happy Friday, everyone!
Hello and happy afternooon . I am on the desk top and I can't even see what I am typing . Good thing I took typing in High School and don't need to see waht I am typilng . LOL
My Caddy started right up once DH connected the Battery.(thanks to advice from Angii a long time ago) We drove it thru the Plat and it said . "Mommy I am so glad you are back and I am ready to go." Silly me .
Barb sorry about the disappointing trip to the restaruant . I hate when I spend good money on a meal and it is not worth eating. It's happened a few times to me also.
Mo, Yep that is a good Banana Cake recipe . Everyone I have given it too or shared the cake with has liked it . I think the time in the freezer is what makes it so moist.
I'm working on a headache today . Going to take something soon.
Our Ohio town was with out power sometime yesterday I think . Haven found out all the info about it yet.
Will this is to hard to see so will go to my laptop .
Have a nice Friday nite everyone.
Afternoon ladies
Yikes - I think I am done ordering. I know I have enough prints - just hope we don't come home with all of them. At least I will have enough greeting cards to last me a lifetime. I have added more images to our website (www.wildedgephotography.com).
Now I hope I can spend time behind a camera instead of a computer for awhile. We found boarding for the dogs for a couple of days next week. I'm waiting on a call back about lodging but I am sure we can find something on a Wednesday and Thursday.
Got a bid for the driveway and gravel work - yikes! It's about half the price of the sidewalk that we decided was too expensive. He's doing it right though and not just dumping gravel on top of everything. They should start in a couple of weeks, which is another reason I need to get my trip in soon.
Have a great weekend!
Well I'm just putting along and soon I guess sleepy time again Long day and the PT washer that was a folder today but likes to boss people around sure made it a work until the last minute but, have others do it for her. She wants to be the next FT washer but she complains about her back etc. and gets out of stuff so easily that I can't see her doing washing always. Or she'd have to lose weight and get in better shape for it for sure. Only 46 but....So anyway, I sure hope no call in's tomorrow since I work Sun.
Di, just lots of good wishes for a very good time at the RFL and you've done so much again for it so you can relax and know you've done Your best! Hope you don't get to much pain now either
Bama, glad your car worked again also! I am the only ON-Call person in laundry so thats why they can call me anytime and I'm the first they call But I mistakenly thought I was on Fri. and not on Thurs. but they were right this time. I get for sure 6 days a month, and any call in's which I really don't like and rather accept some days for others ahead of time so I Know I work that day. I said I wasn't available Mon,. and Tues. as Dh goes veterans hospital for blood tests etc. and its 50 miles away so he will use my van. Wasn't sure Which day it was so I put NA on both Since I work Wed., Thurs. and Fri.
Sue, Yep, thought that was a good pic of the bleeding hearts Not sure when I can get my pic on from my camera. Sure hope you get a good peaceful sleep tonight as I know you can't feel good without it I get so little of it myself. Have a relaxing evening and a lot better weekend!!
Barb, hope you get to the lake soon, you will feel better I know Great pic's there also!
Hi to everyone else and hope you have a great weekend!! It rained today and a chance for it tomorrow and cooled off a bit but got more humid. One lady is getting married outside in gazebo tomorrow so I guess hopefully the weather will let that get done with Nighty Night! yah
Well, that would sure wake you up, to see that peeking in your window, Bama!
Yay on your car working!
Crossing my fingers for no call-in today, YAH. I can see why you prefer to have people ask you ahead of time, especially since it's an early morning call if they need you at the last minute. Cute little fawn there!
Hope all is well at the RFL, Dianna.
I've got quite a bit to get done today, so I'd better get moving here. Looks like another nice day.
Morning ladies,
Dusting is done, Lucy is chugging away with the towels and I am now off to breakfast and some bathrooms to clean, then to toss our old DVD player (it died) and set our music wires up too the new DVD player we got a while back so we are not using the one we watch on all the time.
And enjoy the graphic....Chuck sent me a bunch more.....
Good Afternoon! Well we call these Lady slippers, not sure what others call them? I haven't gone to look if their up yet either. Guess with all the wood ticks, no one really likes just taking a walk in the woods etc. much.
Just wanted to pop in and say hi for now to. I hope your weather is Very nice for you Di and being the longest day of the year, it will be long hey?
First day of summer and high of 63 so far after noon and all cloudy I imagine lady is getting married in park soon in work town. Hope no rain at least. Dh is checking oil etc. on my van since He has to take it Mon. for a longer ride. Doesn't check just because I tell him many times. I work tomorrow anyway. I told him when van is just sitting and idling, sounds like crickets in the engine He said old belts and all make noise. Well, gotta go for a bit so BBL, Yah
Afternoon ladies,
Happy Summer Solstice! The sun just came out so we may get a decent afternoon. I should do a little weeding. My perennials are really coming up fast. Actually, it seems like everything is coming up fast, even though we haven't had a lot of warm weather.
Lady slippers are lovely, YAH. They are up around here, but I haven't been in the woods to find them. Just too busy with other stuff and the bugs are bad this year. Got another black fly bite behind my ear - ick!
We did find boarding space for the dogs for two days next week, and an inexpensive motel room on the north shore so I am looking forward to getting out of town. Hope the weather holds, but it will be good no matter what.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Well I'm glad I have the longest day off lol! Not that it counts for anything since I probably have to go sleep earlier NO sun here yet Barb. Glad you found a place for the dogs and go enjoy! Hasn't really rained, but just looks like it and humid and damp. Hopefully not to bad a day tomorrow although I'm working just with one person, a new one and the washer is the bossy one.
Had to go and get the patch from church as meetings for 4 days coming from Montana so I'm trying to catch a few of them. Its later as farther away so 1 pm and 8 pm. Would be nice to be up north for the patch though.
Bama, wow, those owl eyes do wake you up! Hope your enjoying your Sat. to!
Sue, well, I think I'd rather have a bunch of cats then the guy sometimes! Not to good to rush into that either. Hoping you got more sleep at least and have a very good day to get ready for your 'me' day tomorrow
Guess we're getting 5 lbs. of fresh trout today again. Dh called if I wanted it and Sure, I want it for that price!! Can always have son do some in his fryer also $5 a lb. beats the $10.69 a lb. in the store and this will be very fresh. I never get tired of lake trout
Have a good day all! YaH
Hey sometimes we need one years later!
Well Wednesday night didn't include Highlander as we ran out of for that but did get in a second Smallville episode which was just fine with us LOL Finished up about 11:06 but no biggie. I went to sleep before hubby and Buddy came in but woke up when the volume went up....according to Chuck I was snoring so loud he had to put it up....I didn't think so since I heard the beginning of it and all but apparently must have dozed off and then woke up on and off. Had better night's sleeps that is for darn tootin sure. Put Buddy's new mat for his house into Lucy first thing this a.m. and got my dusting done today, did the bedroom after I made the bed and the living room and dining room while the boys were in the man cave. I got a rag to wipe the fan in the living room and also went to wipe some 'nose spots' (imagine that with a dog LOL) and then Chuck showed me these spots outside I thought maybe a cat had sprayed but too high up and it was very sticky. Who knows, but then a BIG WASP thingy came by and I went inside real quick. After I was done dusting the living room/dining room, I got another rag and my vinegar and did the inside of the door and looked and went outside and got that done. As I was finishing up that darn WASP thingy came back to I shut up quick, but I got all the spots off. I had to skip OJ again today as chest gas and that burning feeling in my throat so had my OJ glass of milk instead...luckily I love my milk LOL Took my BP again as wanted to give the new medicine regimen a couple of days and hoping it stays at the numbers for this a.m., as the Tru Read average was 116/75/76 with readings 1 - 117/75/76; 2 - 119/76/76; 3 - 113/75/75....as my man Hunter would say WORKS FOR ME Did call the office about our blind in the living room again and Maria said when were we available and I said all of today and Friday and next week, Monday and Tuesday. She says Martine will be there between 1 and 5 p.m. Well Martine came at 5 p.m., to tell us he would see us on Friday after 1 p.m. I did my first 10 minute walk with a doggie walking with me for the first couple of minutes till I told him to lay down as he was panting as it's hot. In fact I put the a/c down from 80 to 78. We are headed to 99 today they say and I am thinking even higher....since at 12:45 we were 93 and they were showing only 98 for today's high....we shall see whose right LOL Then read my stories I had saved earlier when I was on line. Chuck was still scrambling up the eggs for our tortilla's for tonight. He cooks them on a very low heat and boy they came out great last week and looked just as yummy today. So after he was done cleaning up and I did some changes to the movie database I cooked up sausages for my frozen dinners and the other one for my dinner Friday night of Italian sausage and sautéed peppers and scallions, will clean up scallions on Friday morning. Then had to wait while the stove cooled down and my vinegar spritz settled in and went back in about 20 minutes and cleaned up the stove and countertop along with my soaking pan and utensils and into the dishwasher they went. Will see how the movie is we got in from Netflix tonight and if we watch the whole thing or go on to better fare.... After lunch, a bit later with the later start and our slow moving self's this a.m. LOL But as we say we're retired, who cares LOL.....while Chuck checked his on line stuff, I cut up my sausage for the freezer. Plus he had an idea to keep some pieces of the sausage out to put in the egg tortilla tonight. After I got that one I did my walk and get some on line work I needed to do, and Chuck went to go check the rest of Happy Days disks. I know what an exciting day LOL Got some catch up and file work done and then it was time for comics and crackers. Well the Netflix movie was turned off about 15 minutes into it, slow moving and garbled speech...so had a night of BH:90210 (the original one), Highlander and then checked the rest of the Happy Days disk. I was tired as I had taken an allergy pill, but had a hard time getting comfortable with the chest gas, I will be talking to my primary about it for sure. Did finally doze off and then was rudely awakened when Buddy Max jumped off the bed, but because I was on my stomach and stretched out he couldn't jump off the end of the bed like he normally does, so Chuck said he put on foot in between my legs and then jumped. Chuck was worried and so as Buddy jumped he stepped on my leg and woke me up out of a sleep. That was it for me, I didn't get to sleep till after 5 a.m. this morning. I did get up at about 1:30 a.m., and went into the computer room and dusted it. I was too tired from the night before lack of sleep so skipped dusting it after dinner. So at least that got done. Chuck came out of the bedroom as I shut the door in the computer room so the light didn't bother him in the bedroom. Went back into bed and tried to get to sleep, but was awake till 5 a.m., tossing and turning and trying to get comfortable. I did get up and took my Thyroid meds and then realized I should have taken a faux Tylenol as my leg (where a dog named Buddy stepped on it( was killing me and I couldn't get it comfortable. Finally feel asleep after 5 a.m. We got up late Friday morning close to 8 a.m. So our Friday was a very short one to say the least LOL Did our morning stuff, and I got my vacuuming done too. Also called Exactus to be sure the new med was called in as I hadn't gotten any phone calls when the computer gal that tells me they got my order, my order shipped, etc. The lady I spoke with was very nice and thought I'd have to call Alexis as she couldn't find it and then the lady at Exactus said, 'oh I am so sorry, I messed up and it was on the other screen and yes she called it in and it shipped today and should be here in 7 to 10 days, or sooner. Most times I get it sooner. Hope so this time as I only have 8 days left. Chuck and I checked some stuff at our DVD club and placed our WM order as he is running out of his pills (aspirin) he has to take every day. Plus some other stuff. BP was up a bit Thursday night as I was a bit nervous and agitated for some reason and was nice and low in the a.m. and same for Friday too in the a.m. But then before dinner is later and a while since my meds have been in my body. Then since I was so itchy last night too, I jumped in the shower, for a quick one and didn't even bother with drying my hair at all. Then cleaned up my scallions, takes a long time as I have to snip and cut things off, then rinse them in hot water, sprinkle the bottom of the plate with baking soda and put the scallions on it, then sprinkle the top with baking soda, rub it into the scallions and then rinse them one by one in hot water, then in cold water, bloat them and then wrap them. I know paranoid but not like years ago on the farms and the last thing I want is to get sick from salmonella or something like it. Would be the end for me. I did my mail stuff and there was a knock on the door as it was already 1 p.m. Martine fixed the blind and after he left we got started for lunch, was close to 1:20 p.m., so we ate late today. We did head off early and did comics and crackers as we wanted a bit longer nap today. My dinner was very yummy and the sub roll I got from Winco was awesome, in fact cut some of it off it was so big and nice and soft too. The Johnsonville Hot Italian sausages are always awesome and with my sautéed pepper strips and scallions it was great. Didn't bother me too much last night either. Still had some chest gas but not too much of that burny feeling. Was part way asleep when Chuck and Buddy came in and once Buddy plopped down I felt his head on my feet. He loves my feet LOL Couple a pit stops and wake ups and could have slept in this a.m., but then I wouldn't sleep at night and Saturday is not a good day to do it with doing my weekly bone meds (can't lay down after you take them for 30 minutes) and IT MUST be taken before any other meds as I asked the pharmacist when I got put on the thyroid meds and they have to go first too and no other meds, or eating for 30 minutes. So my new BP pill got taken with all my others this a.m. after I ate breakfast. Wow I just realized how much I sounded like my grandmother and her medication schedule years back....what goes around comes around. Some parts of old age really stink LOL Anyhoo, got my dusting done, and the towels in Lucy and got my on line stuff done and then off to breakfast and then put the towels in Ethel and off to clean the bathrooms. Once Chuck and Buddy were out, I did the main bathroom and did our coffee, etc set up. Chuck had done the sugar bowl and our sugar container in the fridge....(I know but remember we are built on a fig garden) so when we had the invasion many years back prompted some changes....and we are of the belief better safe than sorry. My BP was great again this a.m., so I am a happy camper. Folded the towels, Chuck got the mail and then cleaned out the lint screen and then I put the rags in Lucy and checked our lettuce but 3 weeks later, it's starting to get brown and not a lot left so out it went. So egg sandwich by itself or maybe some fries....we shall see. Decided on watching on the Annette and Frankie Summer movies tonight since it's the first day of Summer (well for the rest of the country), we have had Summer for 2 months already LOL Well I got notification this a.m. that our order we placed yesterday at Wal-Mart shipped. Just like the last 3 or 4 times it came in one day. So I won't even have to use my Country Apple wash, lotion and spray, like I thought I would for tomorrow (had it for a while now, so it will be around longer)....got it from a friend and it's from B&WW, way too much for our budget unfortunately. However, now don't have to worry about it I will be a Cherry Blossom girl and I am not calling it Cherish the Moment. Plus Chuck has his daily aspirin he has to take and our double pack of Ibuprofen, the Equate brand. Now just waiting for our copy paper which will be in this week they said. I got my emails all answered today and some on line things checked and wrote to Kraft about the packages of cheese that were sliced down the middle (obviously a bad machine setting or something) Chuck and I did some checking for using our bonus points (free dollars) at our DVD club for getting the Andy Griffith show. Hope so as we got it from Netflix (well the seasons they had as with so many shows they don't seem to have all the seasons anymore, they are more concerned it making their own movies and shows). Well off to do that, do some catch up and by then it will be comics and cracker time as we are both still tired and want to get an early start. I am looking forward to my 'me day' tomorrow....be sure to take some 'me time' for yourself.
And what a great time it was!
Ain't that the truth....
Hope you had a good day and wishing you the same for tonight and the rest of the weekend, Happy Summer Solstice, and for those of us with pets that sleep with us....
Good Morning ladies! Wish I was on that rock today just enjoying the scenery! No time to post now as time is going by and I got maybe 2 hrs. of sleep I guess I must have had caffeine to late yesterday or something as my pill didn't work until about 2 this morning! Got up at 4:20 a.m. And I went to bed before 8 pm as I felt tired and even missed my 'patch' last night so I am disgusted with myself. Going to be a warm and with the bossy washer and all, a Long day. Wish me luck. Hope you all get to enjoy your ME day a lot better and have beautiful weather also. Yah
Good Morning Ladies,
All is well here in Sunny SE Alabama . Going to be another hot day.
Not a busy day planned other than dinner and then I am going to work on my closets again. I have some of those Space Savers bags and going to pack some clothes in them that I can not longer wear that I really really like and hope to get into them again. If They are still in the bag by next summer then I will toss.
Pasta day here with some good garlic bread '
Sue and Yah thanks so much for sharing the pictures and cartoons. I laugh my head off of the one that Chuck sent . Too funny. Don't work to hard today , Yah and hope that you get thru the day ok.
Sue, you need to take it easy today also . That is an order. \
So what is your favorite flavor from BBW? I am going to an outlet next month . Sometimes they have some great bargains and sometimes not . But I always have to go in and see.
Barb, glad you found a place for the Doggies and a cheap motel too. I am ready for a break also. Taking a little mini trip in July for a few days.
Hello Mo , Angii who is know is having a great time , and Diane also the same hope you are enjoying your week in.
I have to run to the store forgot something and lucky that they are close by.
Enjoy your Sunday .
Oh a new show on tonite called Rising Star plan on watching it . Since I like The Voice so well.
Need to come back later to catch up, but wanted to share a cute Sunday morning that was on my pages for Google...
YAH the pic this a.m. is just awesome. It makes me want to be there too. HUGS on the sleep. Buddy was kicking me every 5 minutes after I had gotten up for a bit stop and I have the bruises this morning too.
Bama, glad you enjoy the pics and cartoons. Yes mam I will be a good girl today and make it a "whole me day" for usre....you too, rest today and enjoy your show.
Well off to do my food journal, etc and then start my "me day",
Time for me to do some catch up,
Barb, hoping your hubby came through and gave you his pics so you could move forward with the order. Good luck with the bill.
You are better than me Barb, at the prices and the food being so terrible I would have asked for my money back. We did at a place in Sacto years back as it was just absolutely inedible and they told us not to pay and gave us a complimentary coupons for other meals. We gave them to some friends with the caveat to watch out for the food.
Hope you will be able to get out of town like you want, along with some yummy fish and chips (one of my favs too), along with lake trout, bluefish, flounder and the list goes on LOL
Molasses, thanks for the energetic thoughts and I got some stuff done but just wanted to lay down.
Bama, strange to me that you can't see on the desk top computer, did you ever think to increase the font size or use the ones in your mail problem (usually little A or big A and little A for bold, underline A and A in Italics.
Oh I loved my typing class with Mrs. Ginolfi...yes I can still remember her name as I had her for Shorthand too. But my fav with Mrs. Green as she appreciated that while I could only type 65 to 70 wpm I did it without errors. What helped is I had an electric typewriter at home that my grandma got for me from Mr. Hammer's office, the lawyer she worked for. Who when I was in HS I wanted to go to work for after HS and some college.
So glad the caddy started. And I love the way your car talks to you like my Black Beauty did to me and my Lincoln too, of course and well the Vette and 55 Chevy roared to me LOL
After I post Barb I am going over to your site to see and I hope you sell all those prints...and some cards too.
Glad you found a place for the furbabies to stay and hope you get the place you want too. Yikes on the driveway and gravel work....HUGS
Oh I just love the fawn, YAH. Sorry about the PT washer and her bossiness. Hope she doesn't get the job. Thanks again for the bleeding heart pics. You will just have to ask your son what's up with taking pics on your phone. Yeah as we get older lack of sleep, wake ups, and pit stops are a given each night.
I am with Molasses, Bama, that owl would wake me up too.
Oh I have never seen a lady's slipper either, YAH, how pretty.
Yeah I wouldn't want any wood ticks on me either, so can't blame them on the pics.
Glad you found a motel to stay in Barb, and hope the weather holds for you.
Glad you had Saturday off, YAH. Sorry you have to work with the bossy one. Depends on the guy, YAH, I got mine, cats and a dog so all was good LOL
Yes I did get some more sleep and my me day is going well. Wow 5 lbs of trout.....yummy.
Love the pic this morning, YAH and yeah we could be on that rock together chit chatting and daydreaming.....oh no on the lack of sleep. Hoping Miss Bossy puts a sock in it today.
Yeah hot day here too Bama as we are headed to 98 again. Smart idea on the clothes Bama. And I see we both are having a pasta day with some yummy bread, no garlic here we miss it terribly but our bodies don't handle it anymore.
Glad you have enjoyed the pictures and cartoons.
Yes, Bama, I did take it easy today....just put clean sheets on the bed, contour and top sheet as it's Summer, so fast and easy....oh and pillow cases on our pillows. Dirty ones went into Lucy and then Ethel and then hubby and I folded them and I put them away....that was the extent of my work for the day.
If you are looking for some good ones Bama, since you are there and can smell them, check out...Country Apple body splash, Irresistible Apple toilette and Warm Vanilla Sugar (all of them), our old mail person, Tamara loved the warm vanilla sugar too. I see that Bodycology has a vanilla one and will make it a present to myself for the holiday LOL
Glad you are taking a nice mini trip, Bama. Hope you got what you needed at the store too.
BTW I am rereading Home Free in anticipation of getting my books next week LOL
Well I am off to check out Barb's pics, dry out my steam machine and put it away and go play some games,
Evening all, rain all afternoon and storm warnings out . Been raining heavy for couple of hours .
We are relaxing now . He in his room and I in the Den . LOL We are always tuned to the same show . I am watching American Pickers waiting for the new show later.
Sue we have tried everything to enlarge the print . Haven't figured it out as of yet . It's just on this site that it is so small and I don't see any place to enlarge it
I too like the Warm sugar vanilla from BBB. I usually stock up on it when I go to the outlets. I have also gotten good buys at their on line store . I will check out the Apple flavors Don't thing i have ever bought any of those . They are usually half price or less .
Well got a phone call . Back later if not tomorrow .
Well for a nice touch to today, here's Tommy at about 3 and a half months old This is the way we all should be outside hey? So the bugs can't get to us.
Was a terrible day with the washer but not going to go into it anyway. Hard enough to live through it. Glad today is over and I went to son's house and middle son was there also as he had biked from Marq. to work town and then went back on the trail the same way after eating etc. Had to be 30 miles round trip at least! I sat and put my feet up there then as other son went to store for some things later, and then I came home. Dh got the fish tonight as they didn't show up last night but he can't have anything now since he has to fast for the test tomorrow and I'm full already from son's house.
Those were some very good comic's Sue from the spring cleaning one to the very nice poem from a dog Love the cat pic also. Glad you had a relaxed "ME" day also.
Hoping everyone enjoyed your day also!!
Just found out that Dh has to BE down at Vets Hospital at 7 a.m.!! I wish he had made a later appt. to keep him down there longer With my little sleep and Knowing I wouldn't be called in tomorrow, I wanted to enjoy this evening and sleep all through the early morning, but now I have to make sure he gets up. So I will have to put my alarm on for at least 5:40 a.m Good time for the deer and moose to be traveling on roads to and he's got the van. Its 50 miles away So I better get going to bed I guess. Have a good night all! Yah

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Commerce Secretary Locke hits China over investment barriers
By Doug Palmer Doug Palmer a** 35 mins ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) a** Commerce Secretary Gary Locke accused Beijing on
Wednesday of discouraging foreign investment to protect its own companies
and promised to push against those barriers if confirmed as the next
ambassador to China.
Locke, in the text of a speech for delivery at the Woodrow Wilson Center,
said the United States saw Chinese investment as a "good thing" for
American business and workers and only blocked it in a few cases for
national security concerns.
"Unfortunately, that is not the case for American companies operating in
China, where they are frequently shut out of entire industries, or they
are forced to give up propriety information as a condition of operating in
China," Locke said.
"This imbalance of opportunity is a major barrier to continued improvement
of the United States and China's commercial relationship. And it is part
of a broader trend of China recently narrowing its commercial environment
after a long and fruitful period of opening."
The tough words came one week before Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner
and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will host senior Chinese officials
for the annual U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue.
[ For complete coverage of politics and policy, go to Yahoo! Politics ]
Geithner on Tuesday urged Beijing to move more swiftly to a
market-oriented exchange rate, while acknowledging some progress on that
Geithner also pressed China to stop favoring its state-owned enterprises
by keeping their borrowing costs low, warning of a protectionist backlash
from the United States if it does not.
In the run-up to next week's high-level talks, American companies have
raised concerns about the commercial environment in China, especially what
they see as unfair advantages given to state-owned enterprises, many of
which are becoming powerful players in world trade.
President Barack Obama has nominated Locke, a former Washington state
governor as the next ambassador to China.
If confirmed by the Senate, he would replace Jon Huntsman, a former Utah
governor who left Beijing at the end of April and is considering a
possible run for the presidency.
Locke said China's often opaque government regulations and poor
enforcement of patents and other intellectual property rights indirectly
discouraged foreign investment.
"But China has also pursued policies that make investment by foreign
companies especially challenging," he said.
Those include "indigenous innovation policies that shut foreign companies
entirely out of industries or make unacceptable technology transfer
provisions a condition of operating in China," Locke said.
He said Chinese officials pledged at past high-level forums in 2009 and
2010 to lift foreign investment prohibitions on many industries in which
U.S. firms are world leaders.
But China's recently revised "Foreign Investment Catalog falls far short
of that promise," Locke said.

Keep Our County Names in Our MLS
The merger of the "Columbia County Northern Dutchess MLS" and the "Greene County MLS" is a major accomplishment and we greatly appreciate the hard work of the Merger Committee to make this a reality. However, the name chosen by the committee for the merged entity: "Upper Hudson Valley MLS," is inaccurate and misleading, making the search for real estate in our area more confusing and difficult. Upper Hudson Valley suggests a northern region - the Capital Region and beyond - and by definition does not include Dutchess County. In addition, all of us have worked very hard to foster name recognition of our respective counties to potential buyers from outside our area, especially to those from downstate New York. When consumers use the web to search for real estate in our area, they use county names to find us. We insist that we keep our county identities in the name of our merged MLS and suggest the more accurate "Columbia Greene Northern Dutchess MLS." This name contains the same number of characters as the current "Columbia County Northern Dutchess MLS," replacing "County" with "Greene."

GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Discussing his rotation Friday, Rockies manager Jim Tracy stopped short of announcing his fifth starter.
He didn't announce it, but that didn't mean he didn't know. Now, more than ever, it appears to be Esmil Rogers' job.
Rogers will pitch today against the Angels at Salt River Fields. A good outing and he could clinch the final rotation spot, assuming he hasn't already, in the absence of the injured Aaron Cook.
Nonroster invitee John Maine pitched behind in the count Saturday in his Cactus League debut, with predictable results. Maine allowed five runs in three innings against the Reds, serving up a three-run home run to Edgar Renteria and a solo shot to Jeremy Hermida.
"It goes without saying that John struggled with his command," Tracy said. "I don't see any issues with his arm, but obviously there's some fine- tuning that needs to be done."
Maine, who underwent season-ending shoulder surgery last July, is trying to win the No. 5 job, but there's no doubt that a handful of starts at Triple-A Colorado Springs would be beneficial to him.
"That's no excuse," said Maine, when asked about his relatively quick comeback. "I've got to go out there and pitch better."
Ace leads strong suit.
Regardless of who wins the No. 5 job, the Rockies believe this is their strongest rotation ever, due in large part to having an ace at the top.
Speaking of Ubaldo Jimenez, even he had to admit that he wasn't surprised to hear of his opening-day assignment against the Diamondbacks.
"I wasn't surprised, but it's always good when you hear really good news," Jimenez said.
Jimenez has created lofty expectations after a season in which he won 19 games, threw the first no-hitter in franchise history and started in the All-Star Game.
"I'm ready," he said. "The only thing I can handle is to go out there every five days and give everything I have and give my team a chance to win."
Jimenez agreed with Tracy's assessment that this is the Rockies' best group of starters ever.
Huston Street pitched a 1-2-3 fourth inning, his most impressive outing of the spring. Said Tracy: "He looked like the Huston Street we're looking forward to on April 1. He dialed her up." . . . Matt Daley, trying to stay in the mix for a bullpen job, allowed two hits and a run in two innings against the Diamondbacks' Double-A team. . . . Jhoulys Chacin pitched six shutout innings vs. Arizona's Triple-A team, striking out seven.

I got this in an e-mail, don't know if it's true, but sure sounds about right to me.
Subject: Denver Storms
Denver Post:
This text is from a county emergency manager out in the central part of Colorado after todays snowstorm.
Up here, in the Northern Plains, we just recovered from a Historic event--- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.
George Bush did not come.
FEMA did nothing.
No one howled for the government.
No one blamed the government.
N o one even uttered an expletive on TV .
Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.
Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.
Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.
CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 5 snowstorm. Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.
No one looted.
Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.
Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.
No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera.
No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found.
Nope, we just melted the snow for water.
Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars.
The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a penny.
Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snowbound families.
Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.
We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns.
We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die".
We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks.
Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.
"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world's social problems evaporate."
It does seem that way, at least to me.
I hope this gets passed on.
Maybe SOME people will get the message. The world does Not owe some a living.
In addition to this being written, Denver received another 2 feet of snow on 12-29-06

'Bad Grandpa' Review: In This Stunt Johnny Knoxville is Upstaged By a Kid, Outdone by One Direction
Movie Reviews By Christopher Campbell on October 25, 2013 | Comments (1)Johnny Knoxville and his Jackass friends have an appreciation for the classics. In their movies they've paid tribute specifically to Buster Keaton and Busby Berkeley, and more generally to the many slapstick comedians and masters of choreography — of both the stunt and musical varieties — who've come long before them. Now with Bad Grandpa, they honor another old-fashioned hero, Allen Funt. This is basically a feature-length version of Candid Camera, with the pranks linked together through a basic fiction plot involving a horny old man (Knoxville in age-disguising makeup) on a road trip with his profanely precocious 8-year-old grandson. It's not just that the shtick here is influenced by Funt's long-running and oft-recycled hidden-camera shows. Most of the gags are familiar old tricks that likely were first done on Candid Camera or its copycats. In one well-worn bit, the grandpa, Irving Zisman, is having a tag sale in his home and shocks customers with a demonstration of his adjustable bed, which keeps collapsing, folding his body in seemingly harmful ways. Later he pays a visit to a UPS Store (or similar) to ship the kid to his deadbeat dad's house in a giant box. I'm sure we've seen that kind of thing in numerous incarnations on various hidden-cam shows over the years.
10 Movies to Watch After You've Seen (Or Instead Of Seeing) 'One Direction: This Is Us'
Features By Christopher Campbell on August 31, 2013 | Comments (1)I understand that not a lot of FSR readers are even marginal One Direction fans, let alone "directioners," so bear with me this week as I offer this list to any who find their way here. Also, if you're not into 1D and don't plan to see their new documentary One Direction: This Is Us — even if you normally like Morgan Spurlock's films or are a Martin Scorsese completist (he has a cameo) or think it could be a good place to pick up chicks (and not just tweens, as my screening had a number of adult women fans in attendance) — you may discover something of actual value among the selection of films below. The easiest and even most logical way to go with this week's hottest new movie is to just offer a basic list of the best concert films and tour docs of the past. But really there's not much there to connect Gimme Shelter (nobody dies at any of the 1D shows) or Woodstock, even though the latter involved Scorsese. There are mostly music movies picked for this list, but they're specifically relevant and they're joined by other kinds of films.
'Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa' Heading to Theaters To Remind Us We Love Gross Stuff
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on July 18, 2013 | Be the First To CommentBe still, our dumb teenage hearts, for the Jackass team has decided that it is that special time for us to see them do things we shouldn't try at home once more. Paramount and MTV Films announced (via The Hollywood Reporter) that they have already completed shooting on Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, a film based on Johnny Knoxville's elderly Iriving Zisman character. Zisman, as you might recall from the previous three Jackass films (okay, 3.5 if you count the straight-to-DVD special) and from the MTV show was an elderly man unleashed on the unsuspecting public with his shocking, gross antics. These included and were not limited to: defecating in the street and pretending he didn't know where he was, hitting on college girls, popping wheelies in his Hoveround, and if I recall correctly, a truly terrible moment where a dog stole his prosthetic leg, much to the horror of onlookers. He got away with this because he was just Knoxville in (very poor) age makeup and some high-waisted khaki pants. It just seems strange that the Jackass guys chose to focus an entire film on this specific character, which was never even that popular, rather than go their normal "staple genitalia to a 2×4" route. It's a solid formula that has tested true in the box office – enough to get this fourth film greenlit. But Paramount apparently has so much faith in Bad Grandpa that they're willing to give it an October 25th release date, the spot usually reserved […]
Gird Your Loins for 'Jackass 4′
In Development By Scott Beggs on June 8, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhile not officially announced, Aint It Cool has dug through the entire internet to find Paramount registering a ton of websites for Jackass 4 which 1) point to it being in the works and 2) point to it being subtitled or otherwise linked to the phrase Bad Grandpa. As the piece points out, core member Ryan Dunn died in a drunk driving incident in June of last year. Still, is there a more fitting tribute to a fallen friend than daring another friend to squeeze an entire bottle of mayo up his anal cavity before riding a Vespa down a playground slide? The question is rhetorical. Of course there isn't. So get ready. Registering domain names is often an indicator that a movie is in development (although it doesn't always prove that the movie will be greenlit) and with the money these movies make, there's a common sense element to the news as well. There's a better than average chance that Jackass 4's rascal grandfather will be hitting screens sometime in 2013. To the betterment of all of society
10 Incredible Character-Defining Movie Tattoos
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on March 8, 2012 | Comments (10)It's easy to stick some cool tats on a character and enhance their presence – and we all love cool looking tattoos. It gets better when there is thought put into the tattoos, such as Mickey Rourke's surprisingly well-researched prison tattoos in Iron Man 2. What's even better than that is when a tattoo is not only well thought out, but also speaks worlds about that character and the story surrounding them. It's not always possible in the context of the film – but when it is, it's nice to see. Here are some of the tattoos I'm talking about.
Culture Warrior: The Carnival Irreverence of 'Jackass 3-D'
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on October 26, 2010 | Be the First To CommentThe categories of responses from critics with the release of yet another Jackass film and in the face of its massive, record-breaking box office intake have been to dismiss it entirely, make some hyperbolic rant about the fall of Western civilization, or celebrate Jackass 3-D not as a movie, but as a social ritual — or, perhaps more accurately, as an anti-social ritual. Consider me in the latter camp. Jackass doesn't only take the role of social ritual in terms of being popular entertainment; it isn't merely the most transparent of gimmicks (as the 3-D makes clear) or the most unapologetic brand of cinema in the long-prevailing, prevailingly false idea of cinema-as-escapism-and-nothing-else. The function of Jackass is instead to provide what has been long-standing need within Western cultures: the need of a temporary and safe space in which to transcend and reject social hierarchies and order, a space in which to revel in unacceptable behavior.
Jackass 3D: 10 Things I Liked, 5 I Didn't
Features By Brian Salisbury on October 20, 2010 | Comments (4)If you are rabid fan of the disgusting, this was your weekend. Jackass 3D hit theaters and took depravity to a whole new dimension. Already flirting with box office records, albeit in extremely specific categories, it's hard to deny Jackass 3D is a hit. As much as I want to denounce all the lowbrow shenanigans, Jackass came onto the scene at the perfect time to wedge a silly little place in my heart. The show and the first movie came out when I was in high school; the second movie when I was in college. Though my tastes may have evolved since then, I wasn't surprised to find 10 things I liked about Jackass 3D, and only 5 things I didn't
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: October 15, 2010
Features By Kevin Carr on October 15, 2010 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr makes a complete and total jackass of himself by enjoying the hell out of Red and being more excited than he should about the prospects of Jackass 3D. He realizes that it may be the beginning of award season, but that won't stop him from watching a movie about bodily fluids flying at the camera in 3D and getting mildly turned on by Helen Mirren firing a Gatling gun while wearing an evening gown.
Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loves working as a delivery driver for Planet Express. These two joys come together in the form of cash money payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVDs. So join us each week as he takes a look at new DVD releases and gives his highly unqualified opinion as to which titles are worth BUYing, which are better off as RENTals, and which should be AVOIDed at all cost. (And yes, I am the guy who won't be recommending Drag Me To Hell.)
Penis biting snakes, flipping golf carts, and pooing in a plumbing store. If these things interest you, then Jackass 2.5 is your DVD.

Worked your way through the beginners binary guide? Now lets move on to intermediate. Pay attention in the back please, we're about to begin.
All binary brokers deal with four types of binary options asset classes. These include Commodities, Forex, Indices and Stocks. Some brokers however do offer an additional class of asset derived from the bonds market. For this chapter, we will just concentrate our review on the four main types of assets that are offered by all the brokers.
Among all the binary options asset classes, commodities are the most volatile. Although volatility allows traders to have more trading opportunities, the risk undertaken is also higher. The commodities market covers a wide range of industrial sectors such as agricultural sector, mining sector and power generation sector. Basically they are classified into two categories, hard and soft commodities. Hard commodities refer mostly to natural resources which have to be extracted or mined. Examples of hard commodities include rubber, oil, gold, copper, etc. Soft commodities are usually from the agricultural sector like wheat, soybeans, beef, sugar, etc. A good understanding of the commodities market is necessary before any binary trader can hope to profit from trading in this asset class.
The forex market on its own is actually the largest financial market in the world. On the average, the daily turnover in the forex market is around 3 trillion dollars. Because of it sheer size, the forex market is probably the most liquid market among all the financial markets. Trading of this asset class is normally confined to the "majors" that is the more frequently traded currencies. These include the Euro, Pound Sterling, Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc and U.S Dollar. Traders of this asset class need to a good grasp of both fundamental and technical analysis if they want to have a profitable venture.
An index by definition is a statistical used to measure of an economy or financial market. It is normally derived from a basket of assets that is taken to be representative of the sector which the index is supposed to measure. For example, the Dow Jones Industrial Average which is used to measure the performance of the U.S stock market is derived from the prices of 30 major American companies stocks that are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the NASDAQ. With binary options index trading, traders can gain a broader exposure to the financial markets by trading in this asset class without having to invest in each individual component of the index. Trades are based on the value of the index itself and are less susceptible to fluctuations of the individual component. Binary options traders in general find indices that best asset class to trade with.
Practically all binary brokers today offer this asset class to their clients. However unlike traditional stock trading where investors actually invest in the stocks of the company itself, binary traders invest in the performance of the stocks within a predetermined timeframe. The return on investment will depend on the amount invested and the payout ratio. If a trader can predict correctly the direction of a stock's price within the specified timeframe, then his trade will be in the money. For novices, the investing in binary stock options is a great way to start trading in binaries as prices of stocks are readily available in real time nowadays. Furthermore, they get to have more control over their trading as most individuals will have some knowledge about the stock market.

POSTED: Wednesday, March 2, 2011 - 5:47pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 - 6:33pm
EL PASO— El Paso Pastor Tom Brown is never afraid to voice his opinion on gay issues. But one of his most controversial claims is that he can convert gay people back to being straight.
Some people say his teachings are harmful and dangerous. But News Channel 9's Monique Griego spoke with one man who said he's been cured by him.
"As far as homosexuality do you think your cured?" asked Monique Griego.
"Yeah I'm not going that route. No."
But there was a time when "Joe"— as he would like to be called— did go that route. For several years in his 20's, he was gay and openly slept with men.
"It was like drugs, sex, and rock and roll were all tied into this lifestyle," said Joe.
Joe compares the urge he had to be with men to the need a drug addict has for a fix. Then, after nearly a decade of being gay, Joe stopped being gay.
"I was able to put my foot down and say forget it step away from it," said Joe.
How'd he do it? Joe said he found God and Pastor Tom Brown.
"It doesn't make any difference if they feel this attraction, they have a choice to make," said Pastor Tom Brown.
Brown, who runs the word of life church in east El Paso is no stranger to controversy. But one of his most controversial teachings is that he can turn gay people straight.
"The attraction is gone. Those who I talk with, and I can only go by what they've told me, they tell me attraction gone," said Brown.
Brown doesn't believe people are born gay. In his books he claims people are turned gay by traumatic events in their lives, like being molested, not fitting in, or like in Joe's case, men who don't have a father figure.
"He didn't have a father that raised him to be a man, and that gave him feminine characteristics that caused predatory men to come and take advantage of him," said Brown of Joe.
Brown considers gay desires a mental disease, that God and his teachings can help heal.
"As we change our thinking God begins to change our desire and we now have new desires,"said Brown
He showed us letters and emails from people who claim it's worked.
"Thank you for prayerful support. I've come to a point where I no longer have an active attraction to men," read Brown from a letter.
But not everyone is buying what brown is selling...
"Do any of those reasons apply to you?"asked Griego.
"No, none of those reasons. That's why I tell you they're so full of it!"
As a gay man, Pifas Silva finds the idea of a cure for homosexuality hard to believe. He says Brown's teachings are not only wrong, but dangerous.
"I think it does a lot of harm. This is a form of bullying," Silva said. A serious claim research backs up, according to Psychologist Richard Patterson.
"I think in this particular type of therapy, that's a major concern," said Patterson.
Patterson said the American Psychological Association did several studies on gay conversion therapy. They found not only does it not work, but that it's harmful.
Further research showed us that The American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, the American Counseling Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Association of Social Workers, are unanimous in that so-called "reparative" therapy is not only ineffective, but potentially harmful to a person's overall well being.
"It's a line of teaching that says I'm bad, or I'm sinful, or I'm sick," said Patterson. "Then that's going to make a negative opinion of myself,"
Patterson also said because religion is involved, people might feel pressured into saying they're cured. All these reasons are why Silva says Brown should leave psychology to the professionals.
"I think he should just back away from trying to cure homosexuals from a disorder that he thinks it is,"said Silva. "And really value people for who they are and stop being so judgmental.If anyone is judging someone it's him, and that's just evil in this world if you ask me."
But criticism only seems to fuel Brown's holy fire. As for Joe, he maintains he no longer has any attraction to men
"Do the thoughts come? Urges come?" asked Griego.
"No, no," Joe responded.
Joe doesn't care about the critics. He said the life he lives now is better than the one he had as a gay man. He hopes his story will help others deal with what he believes are demon desires.
"I do believe if somebody wants to change they can," said Joe.
Pastor Brown acknowledges that some of the people he treats admit they still have sexual thoughts about the same sex, but he considers them cured if they have the strength to no longer act on those urges.
Again, critics say that's nonsense because it's the feeling inside a person that makes them gay.

AllianceBernstein Issues White Paper Proposing Greater Role For Private Capital In The U.S. Mortgage Market
NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The future role of the government in housing finance is a current subject of debate among legislators, policy makers, regulators and market participants. All agree, however, that attracting private capital into the $10.4 trillion US mortgage market is integral to building a stable foundation to support the market's future growth. A new white paper written by key members of AllianceBernstein's Structured Asset Portfolio Management and Research team, Matthew D. Bass and Michael S. Canter -- "Increasing the Role of Private Capital in the Mortgage Market" -- provides valuable insight into how to address this critical issue.
The purpose of the white paper is to advance the discussion regarding how to attract private capital into the mortgage market based on AllianceBernstein's perspective as an investor in mortgage assets. Specifically, the paper details three key principles regarding the role of private capital in the mortgage market; provides two potential market-based solutions for private capital sharing credit risk with the government; and proposes a transition path.
First, government involvement in the mortgage market is necessary to ensure a stable, well-functioning market;
Second, because the private market is better positioned to price risk, private investors should provide first-loss capital to the mortgage market to protect taxpayers from losses, while the government should provide catastrophic loss insurance to ensure stability in periods of market stress and to maintain the credit risk-free nature of Agency MBS;
Third, in order to provide a more stable foundation for the housing market going forward, private first loss capital should be unlevered and the first loss piece should not be credit tranched. By way of highlighting solutions for private capital sharing credit risk, Bass and Canter suggest that to ease the transfer of risk to private capital the government can begin to move forward quickly without the need for new legislation by reintroducing transactions that enjoy successful precedents such as Freddie Mac's Mortgage Default Recourse Notes (MODERNs) and K-Series transactions.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
