1.2 Trillion is our defecit

And so the past living presidents along with our current president and president elect met, and put those presidential noggins together to try to come up with some major ideas on how to help handle all our major problems at a luncheon today. So far they are being mum on any conclusions.

Joe the plumber has now become Joe the reporter and he will be leaving shortly for Israel to report on the war there.

The market dropped again, - 245.40 today.

Prices on crude oil fell again today. Hope we see that at the pumps; is it me or have those prices been trying to sneak up again?

Stonehenge is believed to have been a dance arena with great acoustics. (Scientists say)

Our rain came and went and did fill our rain barrel with only one tenth of an inch, according to our rain gage; interesting that it filled.

We had an injured Great White Heron fluttering around our canal area back and forth most of the afternoon, and when mentioned by our neighbor I went into high gear and contacted the proper authorities. But alas since he can still fly they say they cannot do anything.

Our Casey the cat went in for his yearly check up and rabies shot this morning, at twelve he is doing very well thank you very much.

My hubby is suffering from a nasty uncomfortable cold all last night and today too.
Once he agreed to try a little medication, he did receive some relief.

I am dangerous with my Lysol spraying on everything.
I guess it all stems from what we used to do when I worked in an office as that credit manager I keep mentioning we used to spray phones basically anything we had hand or breathe contact with.
But since two of my chronic ailments are autoimmune related, that is Sjogrens Syndrome and Multiple Sclerosis, both which means that I am very susceptible to easily acquiring an illness from exposure. But there are several that fall into that category. Below is information from Wikipedia: for more info go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_disease

Autoimmune diseases arise from an overactive immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the body attacks its own cells. This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g. in thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g. Goodpasture's disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and the kidney). The treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immunosuppression, medication which decreases the immune response.

Nationwide home fires have been on the rise and so it is recommended to test your smoke alarms if not working replace it now.
There have been thirty deaths nationwide since Thanksgiving attributed to faulty smoke detectors.
We check ours more than the twice a year that is suggested, and you should too; it could be a matter of life and death.

Good night to all and to all sleep well, take your medicine if needed to avoid spreading your germs to others, and of course to help you feel better too, and drink plenty of fluids and get lotsa rest!
