Tricksy critters those lights.
First rule: give your wife all the money
she wants to spend. Second rule: treat her like you were
a perfect gentleman at all times and in all places. Third
rule: never, under any circumstances, grow a belly. And
I can't remember the fourth but it has something to do
with anniversaries and birthdays.
***
No arguments here - perfect rules for perfect harmony.
The fourth has to do with gold, diamonds, and flowers; I think.
Thanks, SD.
Specter Stands Alone: No GOP Senator on Judiciary Committee Willing to Declare Support for Specter -- Santorum Also Declines to Lend Support
Human Events Online ^ | November 9, 2004 | Robert B. Bluey
Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter has failed to secure public support from members of the Judiciary Committee, and now even Pennsylvania’s junior senator, Rick Santorum, is officially "undecided" about supporting Specter's bid to chair the Judiciary Committee, according to a spokesman with the Senate Republican Conference, which Santorum leads.
More than half of the members on the Senate Judiciary Committee are declining to say whether they plan to support Sen. Specter's bid to become the committee's chairman when the 10-member panel votes by secret ballot in January.
Conservative groups opposed to Specter flooded Senate Republican offices with phone calls after Specter suggested President Bush shouldn't nominate judges who oppose abortion. Specter has since backed away from his comments.
Six of the nine members of the Judiciary Committee declined give a yes or no answer, opting instead to remain uncommitted.

Northern Lights Put on Amazing Show
November 9, 2004
By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Justin Consor
Skywatchers across a large part of the U.S. were treated to a rare, brilliant display of the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, on Sunday night. Monday night brought less widespread activity, but the next few nights may again be ones for the record books.
Auroras develop when electrically charged particles from the sun, strike atoms of oxygen and nitrogen, discharging particles known as photons that look red or green to the human eye. In a nutshell, the atmosphere works like a huge neon sign.
Solar flares fling the charged particles through space. It takes a day or two for them to arrive, steered to the northern latitudes by the Earth`s magnetic field. As such, the Northern Lights are most often visible in a belt around and just south of the Arctic Circle. In the U.S., Alaska is most likely to see the Northern Lights, followed by the northern belt of states from Washington to Maine.
Very strong solar flares can produce geomagnetic storms, which cause the Northern Lights to intensify and push farther south than normal.
An extreme geomagnetic storm, which began around 5 p.m. EST on Nov 7th, has subsided. At its peak, the storm produced Northern Lights as far south as California, Oklahoma and North Carolina on Sunday night. On Monday night, the Northern Lights were seen in the northern tier of the U.S.
Although solar flare activity has declined since Sunday, vivid displays of the Northern Lights are again possible across the northern and central U.S. on Tuesday nights.
The ironic aspect of this aurora borealis is that the overall solar activity is declining as a solar minimum approaches.
.....Westy.....
My favourite scene is where she persuades Charlotte's partner, Jamie, to buy cocoa butter 'to soften those builder's hands' and acts out manual stimulation in Body Shop.

Once more, I cannot thank you enough for this valuable information, Resty. You bring us the stuff that we will not find in Breaking News.
Off for a few jugs of cocoa butter.
NYC cheers up there.
Or as Willie would say, "On the road again..."
Just dang.
The Rectory looks super!
Way to go, aCe...very nicely done.
Cheers.
Hold the butter Loddy Buddy..............this was NOT met to up the sales on coco butter, it was to inform how lost Europe has become!
Gosh darn!
No thanks to that! I'll take the rural brand of stupidity, thank you very much.

Much preferable to urban stupidity...much more preferable.
Hang in there, Libby, and keep perusing the Jobs Available listings.
It's cool, and has been every night since we left, but the days have been in the mid 60's with 70's yesterday.
I'll be glad to get home now. I've had enough roaming for the time being.
Next roaming may be to the Keys this winter.
Oh, I never got my RC Cola and Moon Pie. :(
Yes... I'm starting to look like Willy too, lol. It will be nice to sleep in my own bed with my own pillow, and sit down in my own chair again.
There is...no place like home. That's why we make them that way.
How do I have the nerve to say this to you? Because I know what you are feeling of rage and helplessness. I was in the medical field over twenty years, up close to patients who tugged at my heart strings, not only with their physical ailments but familial, financial, legal and emotional problems as well.
***
Amen.
As an owner of low-income housing, with many of the attendant problems, I will testify.
Do NOT get involved...it can make you even more crazy.
Do "the job" to the very best of your ability, and then, Go Home...Nermal needs ya.
What an interesting trip Woliff. I enjoyed the heck out of that.
I'm a texture person, and I saw so many different textures in those photos, between that lovely bedspread and those stones walls in both the buildings and streets. Oh and the textures on those mountain sides that fell into that river.
What a great place to see. Thanks, and keep traveling while I sit on my fat butt when I get home.
I sent you an email with some questions about the things I saw. Will expect an answer next time I'm online. ;)
PS..... I would have taken your pic while you sat between the ladies..lol.
Good job, thank you, SD.
Cheers up there.
Bill, Hillary and Kerry are flying on Kerry's wife's private jet.
Bill looks at Hillary, chuckles and says, "You know, I could throw a $100.00 bill out the window right now and make somebody very happy."
Hillary shrugs her shoulders and says, "Well, I could throw ten $10.00 bills out the window and make 10 people very happy."
Kerry says, "Of course then, I could throw one-hundred $1.00 bills out the window and make a hundred people very happy."
The pilot rolls his eyes, looks at all of them and says to his co-pilot,
"Such Bigshots back there..... I could throw all of them out the window and make millions happy."
We just pulled into Jacksonville FL..

So much for the leisurely trip.
Way to go LeadFoot.
You got you there.
Cheers, guys.
ROTFLMHO!
LOL LOL.. actually it was me that told him to keep on driving.
After you sit on your arse for a couple hundred miles, who wants to get out and go sightseeing when your body doesn't work.
We found ourselves getting very stiff, and it had nothing to do with Viagra. ;) Making it to the nearest head was enough to make you weep.
