Missing the weekend is one thing, I got too much to do.  However during the week I was just lazy.  I found out some stuff today that has me worried.  My loving wife got some blood tests back today.  Last week her count thing was at 8000.  The Doc said it should double so that when she went back it was sposed to be about 16000.  Well we found out today that it was only 10000.  I am kind of disturbed.  I am hoping that it is nothing too bad we will know from the doctor later today.  I am praying that she will be all right.  If anyone out there reads this your prayers would be greatly appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4002355-95559730?l=thoughtsandponderings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4002355/posts/default/95559730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4002355/posts/default/95559730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thoughtsandponderings.blogspot.com/2003_06_08_archive.html#95559730' title=''/><author><name>James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04556439914428447339</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002355.post-95465726</id><published>2003-06-09T09:45:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2003-06-09T09:52:45.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Wow another day another post.

I don't really know how to express my thoughts into words.  Apparently there is a bad connections between the brain and the fingers.  I should call NASA about that and see if they can do anything about it.  I have been bothered by several things lately.  The impending war that no one wants.  How hard is it to figure out no one wants to go to battle with Iraq?  How can the government continually abuse the authority that has been granted to them by this great country.  I love this country and would die for it if necessary.  I exercise my right to vote so therefore I have a platform to bitch about stuff.  America love it or leave it...should be America love it, leave it or change it.  Hopefully in the upcoming presidential election the great people of this great land will oust the totalitarian regime that stole the office.   Hopefully a new government will be able to undo the rights of the common man that have been stripped away.  Hoover would love this.  We no longer have any rights to anything private.  I have nothing to hide but I Wish I could have a choice if I didi have something.  I would hope I would have the right to do that.  Man I am hungry I should go get lunch or something.  Maybe I won't be as grouchy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4002355-87966663?l=thoughtsandponderings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4002355/posts/default/87966663'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4002355/posts/default/87966663'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thoughtsandponderings.blogspot.com/2003_01_19_archive.html#87966663' title=''/><author><name>James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04556439914428447339</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002355.post-85594237</id><published>2002-12-06T09:19:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2002-12-06T09:19:27.123-06:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Wow to actaully see something in writing on the internet....what an honor...I wonder if anyone else has ever experienced this.  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4002355-85594237?l=thoughtsandponderings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4002355/posts/default/85594237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4002355/posts/default/85594237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thoughtsandponderings.blogspot.com/2002_12_01_archive.html#85594237' title=''/><author><name>James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04556439914428447339</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002355.post-85594116</id><published>2002-12-06T09:16:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2002-12-06T09:16:57.136-06:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Today I claim thee internet mine.
