Here's my gripe of the day:
I'm watching NBC this morning, and a commercial comes on promoting our local news team. They were highlighting Guy Gordon in this one. So they show him wearing a dress shirt and tie, sitting at a desk, researching his latest and greatest breaking news item. Anyway, his co-anchor walks up and looks to the camera, and she says, "Don't let the white shirt fool you. He has a blue collar heart."
Did she just insult "white collar" workers? What's wrong with having a "white collar" heart? Not as big? Am I reading too much into this? If I am, I blame it solely on you two. Thoughts?

Hey Linda, thanks so much for the B-day gift. You Know I will be wearing the Survivor buffs when I win. Love the card. You rock!!!
"..when I win." Ha! You're very welcome..glad you got it ok. They really do come in handy sometimes...hope you can use em. Do rags are much more gangsta than pink hats, too. :)
Ha! It's my turn to say thank you!!
The fruit bouquet just got here..oh my gosh..it's so pretty I hate to eat it! We've never gotten one of these before..the boys'll be home any minute, they're gonna LOVE it! Very cool. Thanks you guys!!
yum....
Is it a diss to white collar folk. An underhanded one yes. It's hard to know if they meant it to come out that way. It's like when women diss men and vice versa. Sometimes it's meant that way. I guess though, Michigan seems to me to be VERY blue collar. So in a place like that, they are probably trying to show that they can relate to their audience. Kinda the opposite of Keith Olbermann. You know: "YOU ARE A LIAR, SIR!" That doesn't connect with the middle class so much.
Yeah, I tend to agree with you, N, about the audience thing. I'm sure that's where they were going with that. It just felt too "us vs. them" where it was unnecessary, bordering on inappropriate.
Just saw Survivor..what a riot. Man, that coach is somethin else. At the risk of sounding insensitive to his pain...the DRAMA coming off the standing immunity challenge! Geez!
I'll do totals in a bit.
B just came in from garage saling down the street and he was showing me what he bought. My favorite was the "chucking rhino". (A little beanbag rhino.) After looking at him inquisitively, he explained.."You chuck it at people and it hurts." Lol!

Must be the buffs bringin me good luck. I think this is the first time i have ever been in the lead .
if I werent dead last I'd think you were.
Ok, it was buffs, not buses..don't ask.
I wanna chunkin bean bag!
I think the blue collar thing is kinda like the workin poor..the news people (& politicians) LOVE the workin poor.
Yes L, you're becomin more like us everyday..Bwa ha ha ha !!
There's a live band in the woods behind my house. Ok, maybe they're not IN the woods, but it sounds like it. Not half bad, but I had to draw the line when they played the Macarena.
Ahhh...Macarena!
Boys In The Wood?
Ha! Good one.
Just went and saw the new Star Trek movie. LOVED it! 2 thumbs up..go see it.
Hey, when you get a minute, can you help me remember (yeah I know who I'm talkin to) how we made picks for the last show? 2 rew and 2 imm and 2 go homes and who wins?
I was fixin to ask u the same, cant remember if we did two outs &rewards or final three
I think we did 2rews, 2imm, and out first, second, then picked who one. It sorta came to me as I was typing my question. I don't think we needed the 2 rews, but we did it in case.
sounds good to me

taj rew
steven imm first
erinn imm second
taj out first
jt out second
steven wins
L:steven rew
jt rew
jt imm
steven imm second
erinn out first
jt out second
steven wins
whew. If there's one reward, I'll take your first reward pick, not your second. Must be in order as far as immunities. I think that covers it. I'll have the totals by September.

JT-rew; JT-imm; Taj-out
steven wins
R:i gotta think a sec

D's got Taj winnin reward after she was voted out.
R> "D's got Taj winnin reward after she was voted out."
THAT'S called rolling the dice.
I'll tell him. Good job..this'll be fun!!
Best. Glenn Beck dream. EVER.
Also had farmtown dreams which cracks me up.
Best one tho, was Nestor and his kids were at my cottage and I asked him why both his kids had blonde hair and blue eyes. Lol! (sorry, Nestor..that was very rude of me.)
You & your dreams!
I had me a Lost epiphany (thanks sp ck).
Jack's dad's, Christian, body wasn't there after the original crash..so, I surmise he went back in time (durin the crash; much like Jack, Kate, Hurley & Siyad) and THAT"S why hes walkin around now. He wasn't dead in the past.
Sorry bout the game. Now you're time's freed up for the Wings! Nah..not really an upside, but I tried.
I guess so, but why would he be so nonchalant about being on the island? Why wouldn't he be freaking out? Why was he all "hey, I'm Christian, speakin for Jacob."?
That part isn't explained in your theory. I can't allow it to be classified as an "epiphane" until you clear up that part. So get on that and we'll talk again.
hmmm.why didn't spell check catch my epiphane? Ha..did that time. Never mind.
Well, if Christian appeared on the island 30+ yrs back, I assume he'd be adjusted.
No worries, was great makin it outta trhe first round & makin the Lakers play a full 7 was gravy.
Go Wings!
Gettin a late start, but will catch up with ads. Couldn't decide which buff to wear. Went with green.
That's a good attitude. I try to be like with the wings, but man, it's hard. Win, dang it!!
D went to bed...can I come over?
Bed? I'm votin him out.
We're at the end of the 2nd imm challenge btw
I'm just at the start of it.
Yea JT!!
Done yet?
Yep...caught up. Watchin the reunion thing.
The bromance lives!
Glad JT won. Have they shown the bit about the Dragon Slayer yet?
Scores! We want scores! Ok, I really don't cause I know where I finished.
Ha..I told ya...September!
Ok, fine...but not tonight.
Yea JT!! Happy.
Who wants to do a draft for The Bachelorette?? C'mon!! You get points when your player says "she's amazing" or "you look amazing" or just..."amazing"!!
Ha! Either that or The Cougar. You get a score if they score.
How can I so consistently finish in the cellar. My one victory was such a fluke.
Why have I never heard of The Cougar? I know all the trashy reality shows! This one got by me.
It's been pretty evenly spaced I think. I think we've all won one orig. draft now, right?
I was thinkin this was the third one. If so...
Got your DVR set for Glenn on teh View?
Heck yeah!!
Hmm...3, eh? I could have sworn I won one, but maybe not. Maybe I dreamt it. I'll have to try to go back and check sometime. Scores tomorrow..I promise! (?)
WINGS 3-2 IN OVERTIME!!!
Don't go by my memory!
Yeah Wings!
