Okay, here is a red sundress, you'll have to accessorize it with red, white, and blue also (oh, the toil of dressing well...)
Rayon, polyester and spandex knit. Slightly fitted empire waist, princess seaming, full skirt. Squared wide neckline, back-cross straps, no slits.

I'll take it! LOL! You're having too much fun with this shopping! Amy won't know what hit her credit card when she gets her bill. LOL!
I better go answer a few more pings at the Finest and then I have to do some - ugh! - grocery shopping. Boring! :)

The following was e-mailed to me by a former democrat. She changed her idea of politics after her mom was involved in the local democratic party, then President Bill Clinton solidified her change of mind...
21 Steps to Becoming a Democrat
Virtually anyone can be a Democrat. Just simply quit thinking (about it) and vote that way. If you want to be a GOOD Democrat, however, there are some prerequisites you must have first. Compare them below and see how you rate...
1.You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of Federal funding.
2.You have to believe that the same school system that can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow the best qualified to teach those same kids all about sex.
3.You have to believe that guns, in the hands of law-abiding Americans, are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology, in the hands of Chinese communists.
4.You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.
5.You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by Americans driving SUVs'!
6.You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.
7.You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand.
8.You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.
9.You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Seattle do.
10.You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
11.You have to believe the U.S. military, not evil, tyrannical regimes, start wars.
12.You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good, because it supports certain parts of the constitution.
13.You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
14.You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee or Thomas Edison.
15.You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.
16.You have to believe Hillary Clinton is all about "progress" and not power. She just wants to help us out of the archaic system of governing that we've been subjected to since our founding.
17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, is because the right people haven't been in charge.
18.You have to believe Republicans telling the truth belong in jail, but a cheat, liar and sex offender belongs in the White House and you would vote him back in there in a New York minute (if you could).
19.You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and beastiality should be constitutionally protected and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.
20.You have to believe that illegal Democrat Party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States.
21.You have to believe that the vociferous minorities who protest against prayer and saluting the flag in school have far more rights than the majority who believe in God and country and want these values to be instilled in our young children.
If you are locked in solidly to most of these beliefs - you're gonna be a big asset to John Kerry.

Pay no attention. There's been a lot of loose talk about those jihadi warriors wearing panties on their heads. I think it must have been high fashion at Abu Ghraib or something.
Martyrs this year are going to get 72 cicadas in their shorts. Allah does that every 17 years.

Okay, I think I understand now.
You're out of control...I can't play any more (or as well!)
Do you have a lot of cicadas there now?
I have to leave so I can iron my clothes for work tomorrow. FReep on my FRiend.

I could go along with that :-) Maybe I can sleep it off.
No cicadas. Not one! I am too citified now. I feel that I must be missing one of the great "shared experiences" of entire cicada reproductive cycle. Can you mail me a few?

Graphic by Billie
The Glory Of The Garden
Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936)
Our England is a garden that is full of stately views,
Of borders, beds and shrubberies and lawns and avenues,
With statues on the terraces and peacocks strutting by;
But the Glory of the Garden lies in more than meets the eye.
For where the old thick laurels grow, along the thin red wall,
You will find the tool- and potting-sheds which are the heart of all;
The cold-frames and the hot-houses, the dungpits and the tanks,
The rollers, carts and drain-pipes, with the barrows and the planks.
And there you'll see the gardeners, the men and 'prentice boys
Told off to do as they are bid and do it without noise;
For except when seeds are planted and we shout to scare the birds,
The Glory of the Garden it abideth not in words.
And some can pot begonias and some can bud a rose,
And some are hardly fit to trust with anything that grows;
But they can roll and trim the lawns and sift the sand and loam,
For the Glory of the Garden occupieth all who come.
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
By singing:--"Oh, how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
While better men than we go out and start their working lives
At rubbing weeds from grave-paths with broken dinner-knives.
There's not a pair of legs so thin, there's not a head so thick,
There's not a hand so weak and white, nor yet a heart so sick.
But it can find some needful job that's crying to be done,
For the Glory of the Garden glorifieth every one.
Then seek your job with thankfulness and work till further orders,
If it's only netting strawberries or killing slugs on borders;
And when your back stops aching and your hands begin to harden,
You will find yourself a partner in the Glory of the Garden.
Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees
That half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees,
So when your work is finished, you can wash your hand and pray
For the Glory of the Garden, that it may not pass away!
And the Glory of the Garden it shall never pass away!
Hi everybody. Today is my turn to post the Welcome graphic and pinglist.
Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.

Memorial Day already? How the time flies...
(We don't celebrate it here in Australia, but here's a big shout-out for all the military servicepeople who've served the US so well... cheers!)
