[xsmommy]

might be. it is the right length.

[hobbes1]

Almost as hot as revenge sex, comes vituperative Fellaci, O.

[xsmommy]

OMg have you seen the new one, Page something or other? she was on over the weekend. Anorexic looking blonde, with some jaw clenching way of speaking. CANT STAND HER!

[CholeraJoe]

I agree with you about Laurie's new hairdo. I've also noticed she's softened the lip gloss some.

[xsmommy]

i think she is very pretty, but she has got to find some way to get that hair pumped up and not so flat looking. Her makeup always looks nice.

[CholeraJoe]

Paige Hopkins, aka "Hatchet Face." She's new and very irritating. That's a face made for radio.

[xsmommy]

her manner of speaking bothers me more than her looks. Seems she gets lots of air time for a newbie. The black guy, that was partnered with her, struck even xsteen as a fruit.

[hobbes1]

Yes, but there's still no one on Fox, like the WB11s Lynne White....(Which is a shame, because she helped bring the Fox Broadcast networks Morning news into play...)

[CholeraJoe]

My gaydar went off the scale as soon as he opened his mouth.

Not that there's anything wrong with being gay, mind you. Fox News has a long record of hiring gay male anchors.

[xsmommy]

snot. he is as studly as... YOU.. for heaven's sake!

[hobbes1]

Certainly that is one that just refuses to fly beneath the Gaydar.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

The sniper, a viper I vituperate
We need him on video (or Super-Eight)
From Chief Moose and his minions
We need work, not opinions
Or the number of donuts a trooper ate

[CholeraJoe]

We need him on video (or Super-Eight)

I'd settle for just having him in the sights of a .308

[xsmommy]

xshub left his side of the garage open all night last night, i saw as i left the house this AM. why not leave an engraved invitation for the sniper to come in and spend the night with us?

[hobbes1]

why not leave an engraved invitation for the sniper to come in and spend the night with us?

You invite the lawn boys...He invites the sniper....

[CholeraJoe]

I wouldn't worry. Unlike most serial killers, he doesn't like to kill from close range. Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer became aroused by killing their victims up close. This guy is a sicko that gets off on long distance terror.

[xsmommy]

i am not seriously worried that he will get me or a loved one, odds are against it. but it is still a drag to have this going on for so long.

[CholeraJoe]

Yesterday, traffic into DC must've been really gnarly.

[VRWCmember]

Early this morning, eh?

[xsmommy]

not from my direction. You have to be nuts to live in MD, IMO, because there are so far fewer routes in from that way, let alone having major thoroughfares blocked off for roadblocks. i am thinking things are pretty tense up rockville, montgomery co. way this week. xsteen is POd because she just had the second field trip cancelled due to this and a school dance. it is getting old for kids and teachers to be all locked in together. They are still carting them across the street to Mass which i thought was funny, since it exposes them as well. Guess Sister figures God will keep them safe in and out of the church!
