Good letter! They're trying their darnedest to stir up trouble within the Repub. party everywhere!
I imagine that would be a very sobering experience.
Heh...I know what you mean...I'm still in bed, with the laptop drinking my coffee. Which I'm back to drinking again, I hate to say. I just figured it was something I enjoy too much to give up. I missed having my cup by the bedside when I woke up each morning.
I gotta figure out some other way to get my iron up.
Your tagline says that very well!
I cut my finger on the running board I removed (see blog). Not too bad, but I really don't remember when I got my last tetanus shot...
LOL!! You have an very interesting life, 2J! That's great that you've found a fellow enthusiast who can really help you, and so close by!
Why don't you just do de-caf coffee, 2J? There are some tasty decafs out there, and if you think it doesn't taste as full as regular coffee, just brew it up a little stronger than usual!
Good morning!
Wow Corin! Nicely written! :-D
And I went ahead and sent in a short letter to the Today Show. *grin*

Being a single mom is an adventure in and of itself, but if I were given the chance to do something just for me, I'd go to Scotland.
A trip like that would be the fulfillment of a dream I've had for years. To walk amongst the standing stones scattered throughout the country, to witness the excitement of the military tattoo, to stand silent at Culloden Field, to hear bagpipes wailing over the moors, to drink and hear the word "Slainte!" and to find a solitary spot amongst the heather where I could sit and think...far from the big city noises and pressures. ~sigh~
I'm not Scottish. I'm latina, believe it or not. But part of me wonders if I've been to Scotland before....
Thanks for hearing my submission.

Short and sweet. They won't pick me though. They like to pick unusual requests like flying a hot air balloon or feeding Great Whites off the coast of Australia. Makes better TV than some 30-something chick drinking whiskey and peeking under guys' kilts. LOL!
It's the buzz, sis. I don't drink it for the taste! ;-)
I like good-tasting coffee, don't get me wrong. But I don't fool myself about why I drink it! LOL
*crosses arms, taps one food, stares at 2J*
It wouldn't hurt to get one!
I stepped on something in my sister's yard when I was visiting a few years ago. Went clean through the bottom of my flip flops and punctured my foot. I talked to a local doc about coming in for a tetanus shot, and he said it would be better just to go to the County Health Dept. since they had all the tetanus vaccine in the area! Cost me $10, and I'm good for another several years!
Since you're fooling with all that metal that's been sitting exposed for so long, it would be a good idea to go ahead and get one. Call the Health Dept. It won't take too long or be too expensive.
Now THAT is exciting, 2J!
You should write in to the Today Show and maybe they'll restore the Bug for you! :-D
I know, I know - you want to do it yourself. Totally understandable.
Girl, it seems you get a buzz from life itself, you don't need to DRINK anything to get it! ;o)
Health department!!! Good idea!
I promise I'll do it today. I'll get a picture for the blog, even.
Kilts...heh...
You know, I think I've told this story before, but I'll tell it again! A few times when I was in Germany, I went to Lourdes (it's in southern France - the Pyranees) as part of an annual military convention for Catholic military folks from around the world...mostly Europe. One year we stayed in the hotel next to the Irish folks. Some of their ceremonial uniforms involve kilts, or something very like kilts. A group of us were standing watching them, and someone commented on their unusual socks, so we were tryin' to see what the tops of the socks looked like, and (I admit) bending down a bit to do so. But that's ALL it was!
And just as we were doing this, our chaplain walked out and did a double take. We all turned various shades of red.
But I'm innocent I tell ya! Innocent!
LOL!
LOL!
I thought about it! But you're right...we want to do it ourselves (as much as possible...I mean, there's no way I can sandblast the body...gonna have to hire that out.)
