Well, I said that the cookies are all she asked for. She knows she'll get more than that. But she is a good kid...most of the time. Even as a kid, she would tell me, at those times we were having a hard time making ends meet, that I didn't need to worry about buying her a lot of stuff for Christmas. She never went without, although there were Christmases I had to cut a lot of corners. She never minded.
That's the way my kids are, too. They are very considerate. Really good guys. :)
Well, looks like it's that time again..
Goodnight all. Hope you can finish up the week with a bang tomorrow..
Anyway, have a good one....
....Westy.....

Thank you Westy,
Hope you get through your treatments, seems the second or third day after is the worst. Get well soon.
Goodnight Westy, I can't wait to see your pictures each night. Elliott BAY. I went up in the Space Needle last Saturday and saw the sunset around the Sound. It wasn't nearly that dramatic!
Well she was in the middle of telling Santa what she wanted for christmas when the girl interrupted to tell the girls to smile
Fluffy Cohen - lol
Oh, well then that makes sense.
Great family, Mo.
Memory:
NORTH: Even the most dedicated fan can only vaguely recall who played last week.
SOUTH: Anyone entering kindergarten is expected to know the stats, scores and bad calls that resulted in a loss for the home team for every game since the Taft Administration.
This year: North: Two teams play in the most watched bowl (Fiesta)
South: Two teams (West Virginia has a team?) play in the least watched bowl in history (Sugar).
For the.....ahem....elderly Floridians: Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno put the pads on and play one on one.
Alas, poor Michigan........all dressed up and no where to play.........
:-)
As for the Fiesta Bowl (actually the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl which is of course sacreligious since everyone knows that real bowl games have names that begin with Rose, Orange, Sugar and Cotton) ... anyway, as I was saying, who wants to watch the ghost of Woody Hayes rassle the ghost of Frank Leahy?
Besides. I think that you have confused "most watched bowl" with "most eaten" bowl game snack (Tostitos). It is a common mistake among those who have spent too many sunless days in the frozen north.
AS I recall, Miami was in the big East two years ago along with Va Tech, and Fla. State wasn't in the ACC.
Now how did that happen, Mr. Southern football?
:-)
Anyone south of Detroit knows that Miami, despite its geographical position, was until recently a northern school in a northern city, populated by those few yankees who had sense enough to move south BEFORE retirement. Along with Virginia Tech and Florida State, Miami is now in the ACC. Where they may have been in the distant past is irrelevant.
The "Alamo" Bowl? I thought that was a car rental company.
Why, of course.......Doh! *slapping forehead*......Miamia is a Northern city.....
The "Alamo" Bowl
No excuses for the rental cars, but it will probably have about the same interest and viewers as the Sugar Bowl...........West virginia? Ugly.....very ugly.
So why is pup in Florida?
And here I thought Miami was full of Cubans......
NEWS FLASH: Several thousand angry coal miners led by Senator Robert Byrd today descended upon Michigan in what on-scene observers have described as a determined hunt for a Mr. L. Shark. Mr. Shark, reportedly mired in deep depression because of Michigan's failure to secure a meaningful Bowl Game bid, is alleged to have insulted the good people of the Moonshine Mountain State whose team will face the awesome University of Georgia Bulldogs in this year's Sugar Bowl.
