Are you the blond Irish?
A lot of tall women aspire to be double D...some even pay to be DD.
Ahhh, good snake poem!
I actually prefer being short. It is the restrictive caloric disadvantage that I hate!
I'm not a red head ... but in my younger days .. pre bottle, I did have red highlights
Well, his waist is close.

*L* Some of us just have to eat well and DD happens.
My friend's mom is 4'11" and she can't eat much at all. Like an apple a day or something. On the other side, I can't find shoes, pants, or pajamas.
Well, lord love a duck...I have no standing here. I am neither short nor tall, and have BROWN hair without even red highlights.
What is to become of me, praytell?
Cherokee people! Mr. Snake-BQ is 1/4 Cherokee.
I can't believe you caught the allusion - I'm very impressed. My poor husband had to listen to me hum that song all the way across Oklahoma.
Both my parents are from the Indian Territory, and on my mother's side are Native Americans.
Re-reading, not ALL are NativeAmerican for goodness sake, just a couple of individuals.
WOW! Very awesome. So, no one can accuse you of coming over with the Mayflower.
I applied for a job once to work on the Trail of Tears interpretive displays...
Ack - I posted too late.
But no, my guys were not on the Mayflower, that I know of...there were some weird adoptions, way back in the day, and it's so goofy, that I've never even tried to do an ancestry search to see what's what.
It really doesn't matter to me.
Yeah, it would be really cool to say, "Yo, Adam is my daddy." But so what?
What is going on in our country? Dammit all.

Soldier, Democratic supporter among those barred entrance
By Citizens' Voice Staff
To hear president speak
Depending on what side of the fence people are on, crowd control was at an all-time high or low at the Wachovia Arena in Wilkes-Barre Township during President Bush's visit Friday.
A 27-year-old registered Republican and member of the U.S. Army, along with three other people around him, was forced to leave the arena before getting inside.
The Wyoming Valley man who did not want to be identified by name because of his loyalty to his service members is being deployed to Iraq in two weeks. His Army service and status were verified.
He explained that he was attending the event in hopes of finding the right candidate to vote for on Nov. 2.
"I thought seeing Bush would be enough to sway my opinion one way or the other. After today, it definitely has swayed," he said.
While waiting in line, he noticed a stranger standing alone and invited the person to stand with him.
"I didn't think that would be a problem," he said.
It turned out to be.
Individuals from the Bush campaign spotted the individual with the soldier and identified the person as a Democratic supporter.
The spotters, and eventually police, asked the Democratic supporter to remove a jacket, a sweater and some other articles of clothing in what was described as basically a police search.
The soldier said the Democratic supporter did what was asked without any complaint. The person also provided a ticket to the event.
The soldier said that when he asked why the person was being hassled, the spotters said the Democrat's name wasn't on their "master list."
"So I asked if we could see the master list? They said they didn't have it," he said.
The soldier said he stood up for the supporter, but was in no way hostile, because he was there to see the president and hoped to justify voting for him.
Not long after showing his own ticket and being told he wasn't part of the "master list" either, the police asked the soldier to leave. He was told the event was for Bush supporters or undecided voters only.
Until Friday when he left the arena, the soldier was an undecided voter. Now he's voting for Sen. Kerry and volunteering for the Kerry-Edwards campaign.
"I thought the whole Bush message was compassionate conservatism. I didn't see anything compassionate from the Bush people," he said.
Carrie Hyun, spokeswoman for Kerry-Edwards Northeast Pennsylvania, after hearing about the incident said she's heard of people being barred from events before, but never a registered Republican about to represent his country during war.
"This only underscores how the Kerry style campaign is different," Hyun said. "Last time I checked, this was a democracy."
Wilkes-Barre Township Police Chief Robert Brozowski said that close to 150 people monitored the event. State and area police, Secret Service members and the state Game Commission made up many of the workers.
"I thought things went very well," Brozowski said.
Brozowski admitted that some people were asked to leave, but he wasn't sure of the specifics of each case.
"What you have to understand," Brozowksi said. "The Republican National Convention had control over the whole arena. They were calling the shots."
Brozowski said he asked his force to conduct themselves with dignity and respect.
"It's not always going to be 100 percent. There will always be a complaint somewhere," Brozowski said.
As for the soldier's complaint, his views on his upcoming duty in Iraq haven't changed.
"I'm given my job and I do that job to the best of my ability. If my job is being over there (Iraq), that's all right," he said.

Only when people use that argument to blame us for things the Pilgrims supposedly did, OR to say "we are all immigrants". Then you can say "a-hem, not I"!
