Should this country go down the tubes I move that we all pack up and head out to Hair's place and set up our own little country called: The Shire.

G'nad can be in charge of our military, RM can be in charge of the kitchen, 2J can run the school, Jen can be our resident Middle-Earth historian, I'll go ahead and set up a church for those who want one, RWRF can be in charge of our banking system, Hair can watch over our animals, Corin can be our PR guy, carton can be in charge of our foreign policy, Sam can fish, OT can be our resident mad scientist (maybe we can even build her a little tower), Rosie can be in charge of entertainment, Bear can be the network administrator, and everyone else can find a niche they would like to fill, and fill it.

My apologies if I have missed anyone.....

carton can be Central Intelligence Director.... I'm ready to go, right now. Seriously, I would contemplate such a thing if events warrant....

Wouldn't that be fun! And since historian is not a full time job (though one I would truly enjoy) I could help Bear keep the computers running.

However I am not sure Hair is far enough away from California to be safe.

I just closed on a hundred acre spread in Southern Missouri...beautiful country... there's about 3,000 acres of timber around it with parcels for sale... I wouldn't mind anchoring a Shire enclave...

This sounds so fun! A little dream society. Sigh.

Hey, you could also put me in charge of BARGAIN FINDING! I did a great job of finding a bargain in little boys shoes yesterday!! And to top it off, they are shoes I've been looking for for about 2 years now and almost bought them online paying full price!

Here they are!

The webpage that is selling these have them listed as on sale for $29. I bought the boys both two pairs in 2 sized (four pairs each iow) for $4.47 each!!

Now I know some of you might think they are goofy, but I think they are completely cool and Matthew and Josh just look adorable in them! Like Arther, you know? On the show "Arther"? And McGee...in the show "McGee and Me"! Sooooo cute!

As soon as I can, I'll take a picture of them in them and you'll see. Too cute!

I love your plan ksen! - Do we have to wait for the country to go down the tubes? - Or can we just find an island someplace and declare our independence now?

Bear can be the network administrator

OK! AMD Athlon 1700, MSI KT3 Ultra motherboard, 256 MB PC2700 memory, 80 GB EIDE hard drive, Memorex 40x CDRW drive, Liteon 16x48 DVD-ROM drive, 17" flat panel LCD monitor systems for everyone! And, if expense is no consideration, let's give everyone gigabit FDDI network cards too!
