Welcome and thanks for this blast from the past. I love the Priceless pics - there's so MANY of them.;-)

[MaeWest]

Wow .....your my idol after posting that shot of the lovely lady in a REAL TEDDY.....not some stuffed bear thing!

Oh, Dog, you dog, you.

[Aggie Mama]

My G-d! I can't even imagine that. I think I need to go hug my 5 yr old a little tighter. =(

barbeque salmon recipes on this thread.

Yummmmm. I wonder if I can cook salmon in a pressure cooker? Must check!

[BigWaveBetty]

I know AG, it's just awful to have people who are parents working against you.

Oh and let me just add the mom in question is a republican!!!!

I expressed sympathy to my daughter with a soon to be three year old. I can't imagine what is in store for these young child 10 years from now.

[MaeWest]

"there's nothing like the tenderness the leaves acquire in a pressure cooker — and the artichokes are done in a fraction of the time."

I don't know about salmon but this is from one of my favorite sites and they recommmend a pressure cooker for artichokes in this recipe.

[DaughterofEve]

I just sent your post to my friend, the mom of two young'uns. She will fully appreciate your need for laps in the pool!

[BigWaveBetty]

Thanks very much, the recipe looks very good. Think I'll cruise around that site and find some more good recipes. I have an urge to cook up a storm!

[BigWaveBetty]

Tell your friend I wish her strength and conviction, just two of the many things one needs to parent these days. And when people around her are poo-pooing her "out dated thinking" just know that there are those of us who stand behind her and cheer her on!

[MaeWest]

Ooops *sigh* . Looks like the first link should be epicurious.com .

[Iowa Granny]

Good Morning, folks. Our youngest returns to college for his final year today. The piles of 'stuff' are everywhere in anticipation of his packing. It will seem strange to have him gone after having him here all summer. He's a great big strapping guy,, 6"3',,, and I will miss his hugs.

[BigWaveBetty]

Good Morning!

IG, good luck to #3 son!

Timeout, I thought you might enjoy this NYPost headline.....

Fawning piece on the Clintoons' vacation at Martha's Vineyard, here. A snippet (click on link for full barf affect):

Clinton, looking trim and fit, was his usual brainy and interesting self, and on this night, his senator-wife stood and gave a loving toast to him, saying in so many words what a great president he had been. The three days closed with an outdoor barbecue given by the Iscols on a green hillside. Chelsea and beau were also on hand for that. Both Clintons said they are doing the lonely, difficult work of writing their memoirs. He didn't say anything about his progress, but they do have adjoining offices for this work in their Chappaqua house. Senator Clinton says she is about "one-third" through and is looking for a title.

I bet we could help her with that.

Inquiring minds ask:

WHICH high-profile political candidate is concerned that a note he wrote two years ago to a sexy young divorcée could be misinterpreted? The letter, a copy of which landed here, says, "I look forward to developing our friendship. Let's do it - really." It was probably motivated more by the possibility of a campaign contribution than lust, but his wife might not see it that way . . . Page Six knows, but isn't telling.

Bryant Gumbel's son, sprung from a Manhattan jail 36 hours earlier after mistakenly being accused of assaulting and robbing a woman, was on hand as his TV-star dad tied the knot yesterday with his longtime mistress at a posh Florida hotel.

Ouch. Full story here

Liza and Mr. Liza still in the news:

Liza Minnelli and her manager/husband, David Gest, are gearing up for their VH1 reality show, tentatively titled "Liza and David's Dinner Party." And last week, sources say, they were giving the network's execs a taste of the diva behavior they'll be serving. "They haven't been nasty," one insider tells us, "but haven't exactly been considerate." rest of story.

There's more on the Denise Rich cancer fundraiser at that link (NY Daily News). And in other news at that link, Larry Klayman has sued Bill Clinton. As LK is long overdue to win a case, any case, I hope this is the one with which he finds success.

Judicial Watch has now filed a lawsuit, claiming the former President sicced the tax man on the conservative public-interest group founded by Larry Klayman. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., charges that Clinton and several top congressional Democrats, including New York Rep. Charles Rangel, instigated "a retaliatory, politically motivated and unconstitutional audit" of Judicial Watch by the Internal Revenue Service.

Finally, Chelsea's friend Donatella Versace's company is not doing so well, story here.

looking for a title.
