Hello World
November 17th, 2008Hello World. My cold is already gone. Slammed it with Vitamin C and plenty of rest. Didn’t even have to hit the bottle of NyQuil (generic, of course).
I got yet another person to try Firefox. She was having problems with Internet Exploder. Surprise, surprise. That’s my good deed for the day. I keep this up and just wondering, how many miracles in one’s name to be a Saint? Two? Three? Any Catholics out there?
The Packers bitch slapped da Bears this weekend 37-3. Here I was getting frustrated with my beloved Packers and they completely demolish da Bears. Good job, Pack. It does seem like Favre and the Jets though are going to go farther than the Packers. It’s simply because the Jets seem to have a lot more heart.
I believe in morale in sports. I think it plays a bigger part than people realize. Proof of that was last years New York Giants, winning the Super Bowl while upsetting three straight teams that are on paper superior.
Now, what I’m about to say is with a HUGE asterisk. I am NOT a financial planner so anything I say, consult a professional first before buying anything. But right now, I’m gambling on two things - the price of oil going back up and Ford. Yes, Ford Motors.
Oil’s kind of a given. It’s cheap right now. People need it. I’m still seeing soccer moms drive around the suburbs in SUVs (with big frowns on their faces of course), so it’s not like our consumption is going down that much. India and China are both poised to be big time oil consumers as they start flaunting their wealth. Keep in mind that for every American, there are almost four Indians and almost four Chinese.
The other thing is Ford Motors. Two things:
1) Obama will be President in January 20, 2009. Obama has already announced a bailout of the auto industries and whether you like it or not, it will pass Congress.
2) I just bought the latest issue of Consumer Reports and Ford leads the domestics.
And lastly, for those anti-gunners out there, here’s something to ruin your day. You all know I own a lot of guns. Lots of them. Well, while your stocks have lost a lot of value, my guns have gone up, up, and up. Now if only I invested in even more guns instead of the Dow… 
Have you tried Google Chrome yet? Me likes it so far.
I was on the brink of despair about my Cowboys until last night, but they gave me reason to hope for a post season yesterday. Romo wasn’t a hundred percent, but what he brought to the game was enough. What a total difference from our meeting with the Redskins. The defense was outrageous, finally playing to its potential.
I’m rooting for the Jets in the AFC, and I’m loving that the Pack put the hurt on the Bears. I want to see Aaron Rodgers do well.
I only have a .38 so my investment is minimal. I like your thinking on Ford. I’ll think about that.
FORD??? Oh ya gotta be kidding, Zomb!!!
ford and oil? i’m not sure i could bring myself to do that. not that i have an extra cent for buying stock anyway…
You won the NFL Football pool!
Come by.
gas will continue to be in demand, and i.c.e. will remain the engine of choice for a long time, electrics are far too expensive, diesel… only for commercial vehicles
Hey Zombie, I noticed you hadn’t posted at packershome in a while and was wondering if everything was ok.

I think you were responsible for my conversion to Firefox and then I converted my husband - so - you must be on the way to Sainthood!
I think only one miracle is needed, but it needs to be verified…maybe you should try to convert a Catholic priest…a Jesuit, preferably. They’re smarter, or at least more education-oriented.
You do know that I love you, don’t you?
Totally platonically. And you know why…
You won again!
I’ll have it up tomorrow.
It’s up!
Do a new post too. You’ve been missing.
Kate - Very, very nice.
Kathleen - Of course. Feeling’s mutual.
Never met a Jesuit I didn’t like.
Miladysa - Sweet!
Iron Man - Everything’s cool. Sent you an email.
Laughingwolf - Agreed. I’m going to make some big money on this.
Lime and Bridget Jones - I’m already up on Ford.
Scott - Not yet. Happy with Firefox and Safari but I’ll try it one of these days.
Romo’s a long shot for MVP, but he will be considered. he’s looking fabulous.
I like Firefox because it’s functional.
