Judith posted on Coffee Klatch  I have completely missed something. What happened to the Mabel's Great Adventures group? February 27 at 10:44 EST .    Gerty  You're not the only one, Miss Judith! Mabel and Miss Nu are on a brief (I hope! ) sabbatical for whatever reasons (that I respect ). Hopefully they will return even better.

DH was driving through from her area to Tampa and it was very nasty. I even had a mattress ready for the bathroom, the watches and warnings taken off at 3pm yesterday.

February 21 at 18:00 EST .    8 people like this.    Escaped commieny  Just Energy is a publicly traded company (TSX:JE, NYSE:JE ) and serves close to two million customers collectively under its affiliate companies Just Energy, Hudson Energy, Commerce Energy, Tara Energy, Amigo Energy, National Home Services, Momentis, Hudson Energy Solar and Terra Grain Fuels. The company was listed and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on January 30, 2012 (NYSE:JE ) and entered the European commercial energy market in July 2012 under its Hudson Energy UK brand.

In my experience, a natural gas "choice" supplier does NOT save the customer any $$$. Perhaps there are other services they offer, but, to my experience, they do not save customers any money. Just my 2 cents worth. February 21 at 22:47 EST .   8 people like this.    Judith  Thank you for the input. I did a little research on this company and they sounded pretty shady. And the complaints claimed that the people who signed on doubled their energy costs, did not cut them. Their salesman did not want to give really any info, had no literature and had a prepared speech to give that he rushed through and was almost incomrehensible. All very strange.

If you are nearest a coal plant and pay for "green energy" from wind 50 miles away all you are doing is paying more to feel good.Near a nuke and only want NG power sorry you are SOL you get nuke.Then only way you can guarantee your energy is green is if you separate from the grid and run your own windmill or hydro plant, otherwise you are just lining power company pockets.

Judith posted on Movies & Reviews  I just saw Les Miserables and all I can say is WOW and I will never watch that movie again. I had trepidations about seeing this movie because I so loved that book. I read it when I was a teenager, about 50 years ago. I thought it would be safe to see the movie because how much of the book would I remember? It turns out I remembered a lot and the movie does stray from the book. So, I ordered the book on my Kindle and started reading it right away and was so glad I did. Hugo restores you. He believes in God, in the ultimate triumph of good over evil. I did not realize that the original book was 1400 pages long and that as a young teenager, I had read that large a book. Now I have to judge books' sizes because I tend to fall asleep while reading and hitting your nose with a large book is very painful. The kindle solves that problem. January 5 at 08:44 EST .    Rake King  An interesting review that all the movie wall posters can use. January 5 at 09:02 EST .    Balogreene  Judith, I assume WOW is good, but why won't you see it again? I didn't particularly like the play, so I have mixed emotions about the movie. I read the book in high school, but I read the abridged version. My older, and much smarter sister read the unabridged version, and says the hundreds of pages on Paris' sewer system almost did her in. January 5 at 09:16 EST .  1 person like this.    Judith  It was a very powerful movie. The first part was nightmarish and when I left the theater I felt like I had been in a train wreck. When I read Hugo I feel differently. He has a way of taking you through some pretty brutal living experiences but adding touches of humanity and God that help you through those times. The last part of the movie dwelt on the revolution and the book does not focus on that so much as on the grace of God and the hope and acknowledgement of the goodness of people. The triumph of goodness over evil. And that is more pronounced in his novel than in the movie. I was amazed at the number of times God want mentioned in the movie and it was in a good way. I find it hard to believe that something like that could come out of hollywood. January 5 at 10:13 EST .    Balogreene  I've heard they are marketing the movie to churches and faith institutions because Hugo himself was a man of great faith, and they decided to use that in the movie. It's my movie for next week then. January 5 at 16:33 EST .

Judith posted on Main Page The Lobby  Laura Ingraham going off the air. Here in MA, in the lead up to this past election, we lost over 7 conservative talk show hosts. Then Savage, now Ingraham. And no one is talking about this. What is going on? November 28 at 07:47 EST .    1 person like this.    MirJoy  Also from Mass. Noticed the same - I really liked Jeff Katz - he spoke at Tea Pary Rallies, was a big fan of Allen West, worked hard to get rid of Demo congressman on north shore, and poof, one day, he disappeared from the air. His replacement, Jeff Kuhner, writes for Washington Examiner and is good, but Katz was really funny and smart and never crass which Kuhner can be sometimes.

Judith posted on Main Page The Lobby  Last summer, here in MA, the radio station that had a lot of conservative talk show hosts, went over to strict comedy and we lost a lot of information right before a very important election. What we got, instead, was a comedy station and the other stations turned to talking about money and local news. Then Savage went off the air. Following that, The Connection went off site and I really thought this was quite a conspiracy and truly unfortunate. And a sign of things to come during the reign of obama. I was so glad to see this back, albeit AFTER the election. It is a nice place to commiserate with what is now an evident minority in this country. A minority that has read the Constitution AND the great history of this country, works hard, probably attends church and has family and friends they can love. And that, it would appear, is the new minority in this country. November 9 at 07:13 EST .    Surfhut  It's good to be back home. Sure missed everyone. Thank you, Luis and Lucianne!!!!!

Judith posted on Main Page The Lobby  I'm curious. Just a few weeks before the conventions, a radio station that had at least 7 conservative talk hosts, cancelled everyone in order to put on old tapes of comedians' acts. Rush re-located. Now we hear fox news has silenced Gov. Palin. Exactly WHAT is going on and how come everyone is so silent? August 30 at 18:05 EST .    Yottyhere  The radio station probably got bought out and the new owner hasn't decided on a format yet? Here in Georgia we have that happen all the time. Sometimes with advance notice other times it occurs overnight. Fox "said" they had to condense 4 nights into 3 nights of convention speeches then add in a Hurricane that was dawdling all over the place. They didn't fire Sarah just said they had to make program changes. It appears Sarah didn't like the changes but they are the "boss" so hat can she do? August 30 at 18:31 EST .  1 person like this.    Yottyhere  PS. I forgot too. Sarah was going to do a "tribute" show to John McCain. Now she may think he's a "swell" guy but not very many other conservatives think that way. SO maybe that factored into the decision to postpone her show.... Full disclosure: I voted for McCain only because of Sarah. If I never hear that old codger speak again it will be a WIN WIN for me ..... August 30 at 18:37 EST .

Judith posted on Recipes  Chicken Enchilada soup. Broth is not clear, looks like a combination of beef and tomato. Celery, corn, carrots, onions, black beans, shredded chicken, chunks of cheese. Absolutely delish, but I have no idea what the flavorings were. Zesty. Anyone have a recipe? August 21 at 17:28 EST .    Balogreene  I have a favorite Mexican cabbage soup recipe, and I honestly forget what spices are put in (it's the 15 minute low-carb cookbook ). But, I realized at one point, it tastes like tacos, so, I often use taco mix. I also add Hatch green chili I get shipped in from NM. August 27 at 22:10 EST .  1 person like this.

Judith posted on Main Page The Lobby  Has anyone seen the announcements of the federal agency that deals with the weather, social security agency AND the dept. of homeland security buying massive amounts of hollow-nosed bullets? Or the news about sending a lot of money from the feds to the states to prevent layoffs before the election? What do you think? August 16 at 07:51 EST .    Escaped commieny  Yes, mass emails to all that don't read the Must Reads, already some grest responses that they will forward. The Obama administration, to its everlasting shame, has eagerly leaked sensitive national security information to advance its own partisan political interests. The killing of Osama bin Laden by special forces who had been on the job for years was the most grotesque, but not the only, example. Special forces operators and intelligence officials were outraged by Obama’s leaks, as were many others, including Democratic Senators. http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/20 12/08/dishonorable-disclosures-its-dynam ite.php Wait until you have 20 minutes to watch and absorb this critical information August 16 at 08:43 EST .   3 people like this.    Belwhatter  Judith - this bullet story has me guessing - after the Weather Office came up with the lame excuse of clericl error and it was really the Fisheries Office that needed the bullets,the very next day we hear the Social Security Office has ordered thousands of same hollow points. I'm waiting for them to disclaim ownership and lay the blame on some other useless government agency - apart from the fact these orders have been reported, no one seems to have the first idea why . Could it be they are buying up en masse to create scarcity for the individual? or for an even more sinister reason?

Several weeks ago, here in MA, our area, which consists of several towns, was awakened during the night by military helicopters doing exercises, in the night, for several nights and hours each night. I'm in my sixties and never had this happen before. Anyone else out there having the same thing happening? Also, a lot of the above-mentioned ammo is being stored in MA. Wonder if there is any connection?

Judith posted on Main Page The Lobby  I was just listening to O'Reilly and Rove discussing obama and saying he had a robin hood mentality.....steal from the rich, give to the poor. It is my understanding that the poor are suffering horribly under the obama regime. I'm not sure WHO is getting the money (obama family certainly is doing well )but I don't think the poor are doing very well. Anyone have any thoughts?
