A very early good morning, class. Welcome to School!

It absolutely fries my butt to hear ANY animadversion coming from this jack@$$, with respect to President Bush's policies on ANYTHING.

94?

[Gabz]

But at least you had a human hour for your appointment.

Unlike my lunatic friend who insisted on the first appointment of the day, which was 5:30.

At least his followup tomorrow isn't until 9am.

believe me, i would have preferred a 5:30 AM appt, traffic at 8 is a pain in the neck, it took me 50 minutes to get to alexandria and i was late for dr. doug. but he is fast and i was out of there in 15 min, but it took another 20 minutes to get to work from there. all of this with NO COFFEE in my system!

the boys in her class that i think are cute, she thinks are geeks. i said these are the ones that are going to have the good jobs when they get out of school! Marcos is very goodlooking, very smart. his mother is Brazilian, his dad is Argentinian (and gorgeous), i said if i was in 8th grade i would be going after Marcos. she thinks he is an unbelievable geek.

[Gabz]

Robert, weren't you suppose to be marching over to me?

[xsmommy]

look who slithered in a tad early today, what is up with you at this hour, sea???

[Gabz]

I understand the no coffee thing!!!

And while there was little traffic, I was absoultely plagued with tail gaiters, with their damn headlights right in my mirror.

[SeaDragon]

Slithered?

I don't slither.

Ah, wouldn't you like to know.............

Gore gave an anima version
With a speech of animadversion
Barely moving his lips
In a speech full of quips
Made for a painful diversion.

This is the text of his speech. Read late at night when you have insomnia, apparantly like SeaDragon and Robert last night.

Hey Lone, did you see this one!!!

One good reason to vote for Torricelli

Alter's reply was that it was important to vote for Torricelli to keep Senate control in Dem hands. He went on to say that many Republicans in DC prefer the Senate in Dassholes control rather than reverting back to Lott. He said the consensus was that 'more' got done with little Tommy in charge.
