Home from work and cooking pork roast-
Queen Hillary is not a shoo-in
For the height she seeks to reach
With the way she seems to stultify
The words of any speech
Most of the time she's boring-
Neither happy or sad
Other times her eyes glitter
As if she's run quite mad
Maybe she's schizophrenic
Or paranoid in the extreme
I hope she has a Dean moment
Complete with a primal scream
Indeed sad news about Tony Snow-I'm sure all our prayers are with him. I also had a co-worker once who fought liver cancer off and on for a number of years-there have been many advances in treatment and it is not allways an automatic exit any more. -my co-worker also had hereditary heart problems, and died suddenly from a heart attack instead.
i guess i heard it may not be as bad as we fear.
Thirteen hour days stultify me according to each definition of that word. mumble mumble blub blub
I think the terrorists would be more afraid of FRed than President Bush. What a look!
Hope your pork roast was good. Made that a couple of days ago. LOL!
My professor's usage of Democratic campaigns as the tell-all examples of Congressional politics only stultifies any attempts to learn the material...

My dad never went to the doctor no matter what. His back was killing him so he went to a chiropractor. The chiro took x-rays and lo and behold his ribs were like paper. The chiro did do some things to him to get rid of the pain. He died nine months later at the ripe old age of 62 of multiple myeloma, bone cancer or bone marrow cancer. It's been a long time.
My mom is 82 and still giving us all the Catholic School guilt trip. She's really good at doing that. She cannot work me that way any longer, oh, but she tries. I just laugh now instead of disliking her. She loves Cyber.
Yes, I heard that, too. Thank the Good Lord.
A++++ for you!
A++++ for you.
I'm late for this thread -- apologies -- but the work was so stultifyingly urgent. I couldn't wait to finally leave.
Make sure you give the partner you're sharing that hot bath with a cocktail also .....
A++++ for you!
I forgot the "k" on the cock[tail]. I'll have to do something about that. LOL! You nut!
Long nap. Now I'm going watch National Treasure, since they've been blabbing about it for the last year on The History Channel. I hope this is as good as all the hype.
