Linda has a sleep study tonight to see if she has sleep apnea. I would imagine that the procedure is the same as the one I had in 2002. She?ll go to the sleep study and get wired up to all these machines. She?ll sleep long enough for the techs to determine whether or not she has sleep apnea. If she does, they?ll wake her up and give her a CPAP machine and mask and have her go back to sleep. While she?s sleeping, they?ll be adjusting the air pressure to whatever is appropriate for her needs. I know that she?d rather not have it but if she does it?s better for her health to get it taken care of now.
We all need to lose weight. That would go a long way to ending our sleep apnea problems. It doesn?t help that I am eating these M&M almonds. My nerves are still jingling and jangling because the stress continues. Anyway, Linda?s got to get going in about an hour. Little T will sleep in our room tonight. I wonder if TB and I will get any sleep? Oh well. It?s just one night.
01. Do you believe that Democrats can get away with more questionable activities than Republican? If not, why?
No I don?t and the reason is that the press are equal opportunity crucifiers. Once it?s in the paper or on TV, it doesn?t matter if the perp is a Republican or a Democrat
02. Is it okay under any circumstances to bring up a candidate?s family? (ie - Cheney?s *Lesbian* Daughter)
It depends. Are secrets being spilled? No? The cold hard truth is that the candidate?s family is open to people digging around in their closets. There?s no such thing as hands off the family any more.
03. Which party do you agree with most? Democrat, Republican or Other? And why?
I most agree with the Democrats this time. I think Bush rushed us into an unnecessary war where we are the only ones funding it and the only ones taking casualties. I think Bush?s economic plan sucks. I like Kerry?s ideas better than I do Bush?s.
04. If you had to name one politician that you admire or even think they are one-of-a-kinda. Who would you pick and why?
Oh man. I don?t admire any politicians. One of a kind? Bill Clinton, our Democratic Teflon president. He actually wasn?t a bad president except for this huge moral failing he had with Monica Lewinsky. He did manage to have the budget balanced during his administration. And he was really cool playing the sax.
05. When was the first election you were able to vote in? Was it presidential or not? And did those people you vote for, get in?
I first voted for Gerald Ford in 1976 (I think) and Jimmy Carter won that year. Yes, it was presidential.
06. Do you have a strict view of the constitution or are you willing to be more liberal with our national?s more honored document?
I would say I?m right in the middle. It depends on which part of the Constitution we are talking about
07. Will there be a draft and if so ? would you go if you?re number is called?
I am too old to be drafted. Old people send young people to war. :P
08. Should Same-Sex Marriage be legal in ALL 50 states?
I think each state should decide what they want to do about same sex marriage
09. What about our economy? Is it up or is it down?
President Bush says it?s up. What planet is he on? I say it?s down, down, down.
10. Why do you think people dislike President Bush so much?
He is arrogant and unwilling to admit to mistakes. He thinks he knows what is best for our country and won?t change his ways no matter what. Also, he gives the impression that he is a personal confidant of God.
11. Best President the United States has ever had?
FDR, Franklin Delano Roosevelt
12. Is there a politician from your state ? that you wish would crawl back into whatever hole they came out of and if so - why?
I wish they would all crawl back into their holes, all these local cut throat politicians. I am so sick of the negativity, I could just puke!
13. Do you think military should be our number one concern and if you don?t think so, why not?
Our number one concern should be the protection of our people here which not only means defense from terror but also freedom from hunger and homelessness
14. The Patriot Act ? do you have something to hide, that you don?t want Uncle Sam finding out about you?
I have nothing to hide and I don?t want anyone snooping into my private life. Period.
15. Are you going to vote on November 2nd, 2004 ? human?
I am going to vote, yes
What is your favorite spooky music, whether Halloween-related or not?
My favorite spooky music is from the old gothic horror soap, Dark Shadows
