Girlfriend, I've got to get to the hairdresser. That, and go before I bore you all stupid with Molly news. ROFLMBO. Oh well, what can I do? I'm a Mommy. :)

[Darlin']

Morning Rowdee, I'm glad youi like the green, I like it, too.

[Servant of the Nine]

It was the Association of Boarder Collie folks I had to convince to let me have one.

A lot of working breeds have been ruined by people breeding them for looks instead of performance. they are right to be cautious

[Letitring]

Dee, have fun. I'm off, see you later. :)

[Servant of the Nine]

Morning Swerve, It great to have you join us for breakfast this morning. :)

Thank you darlin'. I was rousted out early so the carpet cleaners could work. I still think it's perverted to be up this early unless yo are hunting something.

[Letitring]

They are in the right. Truly. I don't want to breed mine. I just wanted one to love. :)If she ever does have pups, I'm sure I'd want to keep every one of them. You wouldn't believe, but I already have people asking for one of her puppies if I do breed her, one day. Amazing. Okay Precious. I've got to go try to get decent looking. What a chore. Groan. see you later. SOOOOOOOOO good to have you here. SMOOCHES.

[Darlin']

FOFL. K. Enjoy the visit to the hairdresser. Are you having anything different done ?

[ValerieUSA]

I really love a good rip-roaring thunderstorm - as long as I am inside a sturdy building when it's happening.

[Rowdee]

Will do.....will finish breakfast and another shot of coffee....and then I think I have battles to wage! You have a super day, too, my friend.

[catpuppy]

Smack!

[Rowdee]

Yeah....when LIR said 'pea green' I was gonna suggest her monitor color buttons need a bit of adjusting....that's a beatiful spring green.

[Darlin']

LOL. I love the quiet beauty and peace of early morning, especially in Spring. I just don't like to speak until later. LOL. :)

[Rowdee]

Ouch.....or should I say, oh la la? Smooch sounds soooo much smoother [and less painful] than a Smack! LOL....oh well.... tis better to be noticed [generally] than to be a flower on the wallpaper of life!&^*%&#$*^$%&

[ValerieUSA]

I'm watching the Fox News Channel and see Las Vegas is using Frank Sinatra in its ad. They don't have any LIVE performers to promote the town? Why use a dead entertainer - are we supposed to go to Las Vegas because dead people were there back when they were alive? huh?

[Darlin']

I kinda like them, too. This is a neat house in a storm. It was very lively here last night. I layed out flashlights, batteries and lots of candles at bedtime. I was sure we'd lose power, we always do because we have so many large trees in the neighborhood. This morning I was amazed that every clock and gadget in the house wasn't blinking at me. LOL

[Darlin']

FOFL. You mean they, SEE dead people ?

[Darlin']

Grrrrrr This 'puter is driving me nuts. I'm gonna reboot and see if that helps. BRB

[ValerieUSA]

ooooh... Maybe they want to attract the sixth sense crowd. Why waste money calling psychic hotlines when you can come to Vegas and put it in our machines instead? You'll make Frankie's ghost so happy!

OK .. WHAT IS SHE DOING NOW!!!!

Senator Clinton Meets Irish Leaders

By SHAWN POGATCHNIK

DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton began a two-day visit to Ireland Tuesday that was designed to build business ties between Ireland and New York, and shore up support among Irish Catholic voters back home.

The Dublin Chamber of Commerce invited the New York Democrat and was paying for her trip, which was postponed from November because of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

On Tuesday, in a sign of the high status the Clinton name retains in Ireland, she was meeting separately with Irish President Mary McAleese, Prime Minister Bertie Ahern and Foreign Minister Brian Cowen - an itinerary normally reserved for visiting premiers and presidents.

``The ties between us are only getting stronger,'' Clinton said beside the prime minister, whom she thanked ``for the extraordinary support that Ireland gave to New York and America following Sept. 11.''

She noted Ireland ordered government offices and businesses to close on Sept. 14 as a national day of mourning. This act, she said, ``demonstrated to all of us the deep ties between our countries and particularly between New York and Ireland.''

Included in the Clinton entourage were about 30 New York business and university leaders. Among them were representatives from defense giant Lockheed Martin, telephone company Verizon Communications, Columbia University, Syracuse University, and the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Officials at the Dublin Chamber of Commerce said they expected the senator's visit to coincide with announcements of new jobs and corporate investments between Ireland and New York. On Wednesday, during a scheduled visit to Dublin City University, Clinton was expected to unveil a new biopharmaceutical research center with links to New York universities.

The Irish government said Clinton also would receive informal briefings on the latest efforts to sustain the 1998 peace accord in Northern Ireland, an accomplishment achieved in part by the involvement of her husband, former President Clinton. As first lady she made five visits to Northern Ireland, two more than her husband.

The Clintons' Irish interests didn't produce overwhelming Catholic support, however, in her successful 2000 campaign to become a senator for New York, where about 2.5 million residents identify themselves as Irish. She received just 46 percent of the white Catholic vote, a weak spot in her base.

Last month Clinton visited Israel and strongly criticized Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, a move to underpin her substantial support among New York Jews.

Did the Dublin Chamber of Commerce pay their airfare, too?
