Good Morning Class. Welcome to School! Yes, we’re all here. No lumpen today.

[Slip18]

Rise and shine! I'm going back to bed for a while. No fooling around in here!

[xsmommy]

why are you going back to bed, it's morning?

[secret garden]

I'm off to dabble in art this morning. It's my turn.

[Slip18]

There's no morning here yet. It's as dark as dark can be seen. Remember, I'm two or three hours behind the East Coast.

You are Numero Uno, though!

[Slip18]

Dabble to your heart's content, SG!

You are Numero Dos and an A++++ greets your name!

[Gabz]

Morning!

[xsmommy]

nothing to dabble in here. that sounds quite scary. have you heard anything about it SG?

[Slip18]

Good morning, Gabz!

Hope the ice storm turned away from you!

You are Numero Tres.

What is this: xsmommy, Secret Garden and you as the three first, second and third prize members. Something is amiss.

[xsmommy]

and since you were concerned about my whereabouts yesterday afternoon, i was over here-- asserting our rights to fully "vet" candidates for the republican nomination for president, to investigate the sincerity of their views, to disagree vehemently that Reagan's 11th commandment applies during the PRIMARY season and to affirmatively assert that prolifers are not ignorant little political naifs. that's all : )

[Slip18]

Haven't been to South America recently (nor ever), but this sounds ugly.

A++++ for you, Miss Mommy!

[LonePalm]

3^rd? Top Ten?

I thought a splatter was a tray for carring dabs of paint.

The chef is here. Good eats for everyone.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)

[Gabz]

No ice storms here........and the power did finally stay on last night. Hopefully it stays that was for the day.

Gotta go take the kids to school and go to the grocery store - see ya later!

[Jaded]

Yeah! Top 5.

I sincerely hope the nation learns not to dabble in b*tchcraft or other dark arts used by the dems.

[theDentist]

If a duck is really fat, is he dabbling for the food or the pleasure of it?

[NeoCaveman]

Why do the 11th Commandment invokers always wind up trying to tear down Reagan to build up their candidate de jour? It's (almost) enough to make me want to vote for Missus Clinton just to spite em.

[NicknamedBob]

Good Morning!

The lumpen, hoi polloi, and the rabble,
Are the beneficiaries of a hard scrabble,
They depend on the king,
So they're there in the ring,
Of the politics where we only dabble.

[SoothingDave]

So Jack Bauer actually has a human father. So much for my dabbling in secret gov't gene-experiment theory.

[secret garden]

I've read about it. TB is a pain because most people need to be on meds for a long time. Compliance is an especially big problem when most cases here are among illegals.

[secret garden]

Girls rule! We also have a chick sub today! ;)
