Tue March 29, 2011, 8:35 pm: I SHOULD feel guilty about impacting the federal budget to the tune of filling out my first ever FAFSA application (surprisingly, easier than an online survey I might add) but until they stop handing it out...

Well today Cade finds it in the fridge and WANTS to try it--on crackers--AND says its GOOD!! Yep, it is! Mediterranean flavor, and rolled in herbs--better than cream cheese any day!

Thu February 24, 2011, 2:42 pm: Oh yeah, Hope... he's the YouTube guy!! Here's what the ScreenIt.com review says, surprisingly:

Thu February 17, 2011, 5:23 pm: I feel very blessed indeed--again--my PJ's were completely worn out and I took about 10 items to the dressing room and the first one I tried on was IT!! I am very grateful to whomever donated them to the D.I. And the tags were still on them!!

Sat June 19, 2010, 12:38 pm: Hey - if any of you out there are undecided voters... vote 4 Mike. I've been helping on his campaign, and he is a true gentleman. There's a lot of lies going around in this race, but from my investigation, I'll put my money on his integrity any day. If we can't get a real conservative in Washington, I don't know who can. Good luck, Utah!!

Wed June 9, 2010, 4:26 pm: Thanx for this one Betty: If you cross the North Korean border illegally you get 12 years hard labor. Cross the Iranian border you get detained indefinitely. Cross the Afghan border you get shot. Cross the U.S. border illegally, you get a job, welfare benefits, food stamps, credit cards, subsidized rent, free education, free health care, and all without speaking a word of English. Still think Arizona is wrong?

Today he called Congressman Rob Bishop and was told they have had a lot of complaints. He was told to just answer the questions you want, write "not comfortable answering" on the rest, and when they call you on the phone, tell them that's what your congressman told you to do!
