but was no better in the morning when he put me on "ignore"... Sheesh! I didn't know that. Now that I do, it makes "the list" even less relevant.

And a one... and a two...(cool pic)
To: WFTR
I'm happy to move to other things. Godspeed...
To: g'nad
Where did that come from? Just wanted to see if you were paying attention.
To: HairOfTheDog; All
But I am going back to bed...Good morning everyone.
Nighty-night Hair.

Actually - I was almost back to sleep when my computer jingled at me and reminded me of a dang dentist appt.... So I had to get up again... ninnyhammers! - Out the door now.

Morning ksen. Is it Thursday at 5:00 yet? I am taking Friday off and we're heading to the beach on Saturday morning...I am sooooo ready...
To: HairOfTheDog
It's decided, and I've counted to three. (Have you seen, O Brother Where Art Thou?). DH and I are planning a hobbit hole. We've scouted out a dry spot on the river bank. Logistics debates are under way...(how to manage a roof that looks like sod? It must have a fireplace of some sort). He wants to rent a cement mixer soooo bad. Very small, and not necessarily built into the bank, but in front of it. Not fond of sharing quarters with copperheads...

You think
you were up late! I had a horrible time sleeping last night. Got to sleep at around 5:30am!
Good morning everybody!!! I'm cooking french toast and watching the movie.

I am taking Friday off and we're heading to the beach on Saturday morning... make sure you got plenty of sunscreen...which beach?
To: WFTR
Some of the items on your list seemed rather petty (and subjective), which I think is why some people are up in arms about it.
That said, I agree with some of your points. As much as I like the movie, there are STILL a few things that bother me. I don't mind TOO much that Glorfindel (not the sons of Elrond) is replaced by Arwen and I can even deal with her calling up the flood, but I DON'T like the fact that Frodo doesn't ride across on his own and stand up to the Riders on his own. I don't like Gimli being the one to suggest Moria and Gandalf opposing the idea. I don't understand why they didn't let Gandalf figure out the riddle of the door. And the wood elves should be suspicious of outsiders and somewhat proud, but not snooty...Haldir's attitude needs adjusting, big time!
There are also some parts that bothered me a lot at first, but that I've gotten used to. Aragorn being somewhat unsure of himself was a big one. The movie Aragorn still doesn't match my view of him, but I think that's more of an interpretational difference than a true inaccuracy. Same goes for Galadriel.

Have a good time at the beach, hope the weather will be fine.
I agree with Bear, your freshman essay was convincing. Way beyond anything I could have done at 18, though I think I can write OK.
Where is the 7th district, is it Richmond? I notice that VA has several sizable Jewish communities, including one in Charlottesville.

Sounds like fun! That's great that it's a family affair, too. My family plays music together (mostly Irish, though we haven't a drop of Irish blood!), but at a much lower level, I would assume. One brother used to play with a youth orchestra, but that's about it.
What's your instrument? I couldn't quite tell from the pic.

Mornin' all...just got done catching up on weekend traffic...sounds like I missed a firefight...oh well, pearls before swine...think nuthin' of it...what does WFTB's opinion really mean in the long run...
2JM and Hair, soory you two didn't sleep well...ma tomorrw find you better rested...
2JM, I don't think I told you, but good job on Matthew's party...you're a great mom...
My day started out great...I had to pick up a Marine from the brig (convicted of using and dealing narcotics and methamphetamines, he served two months and got a BCD (Bad Conduct Discharge)) and drive him to the front gate...all he had was a pair of boots, green shorts and a t-shirt, toiletries and a towel in a plastic baggy, and his wallet...we got to the gate and he asked me to take him to the bank...I said "No...", handed him a bus ticket and said "get out..." and drove away...I think I was too easy on him...
To: RosieCotton
Mornin' Rosie...how are we this fine mornin'?
To: g'nad
which beach? Nags Head. We're getting a dining canopy to set up on the beach so the little one can play in the sand, but stay out of the sun.
Can you recommend a good shark repellant?
To: g'nad
you're a great mom...That's the nicest thing anyone could ever say to me! The second nicest is saying I'm funny.
The boys and I took my mom and went to the big library in Tulsa. Matthew was talking to my mom and he said "My mom is so funny!! Were you that funny when mom was little, Grandma?" My ears really perked up, I was dying to hear her response. She surprised me with her amazingly honest growl "No."
To: g'nad
Mornin' Rosie...how are we this fine mornin'?Just fine, thank you kindly. Have a good weekend?
To: Sam Cree
Have a good time at the beach, hope the weather will be fine. Thanks. We keep an eye on the hurricanes, but the last couple of years it's been great.
I agree with Bear, your freshman essay was convincing.
Thanks.
Where is the 7th district, is it Richmond?
Counties of Albemarle (but not City of Charlotttesville), Chesterfield (that's where I am), Culpeper, Goochland, Greene, Hanover, Henrico, Louisa, Madison, Orange, Powhatan and (part of the) City of Richmond - The other part of the City of Richmond is in the 3rd District (liberal D - Bobby Scott)
Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico Counties surround the City of Richmond.
