More alarming is that 75-year old Dan Rooney, who should know better, endorsed Obama as well.

No one can doubt Mr. Rooney's sincere belief in affirmative action...

no. xshub and xsteen wanted to see a Stars playoff game while he was there this past weekend, but then they screwed themselves out of home ice advantage and so it wasn’t possible ; ) He took her to a stars game when he was there in Nov. they both had a great time.

No, but I recall that book about his propensity to hit the goalposts-

“A Bell-Ringer For Modano”

Ain’t nothing more there than a bikini would show. Maybe a slightly different patch of skin, but basically the same amount.

Fescen of Nine - she was the one on the Star Trek show with the big boobs - thought she was a robot or something - very sad.

Home from work and getting ready to cook chicken picatta-

Obama can’t remove his foot
No matter how hard he tries-
It is firmly stuck in caca
And all his fescennine lies

Now reverend Wright is back
To call to our close attention
His limelight hasn’t faded yet
And he wants honorable mention

For running a close second
To Obama’s God and guns speech
And for putting the nomination
A bit further out of his reach

We did not end up owing money, but only because hubby changed jobs last spring, and it hasn’t been a great year for the remodeling business here, so I didn’t make much money last year-last year totally sucked.

The words of today of which I have received many times are:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

That happened because my dad and mom made out way back in 1921 and got me—April 15, 1922; lucky them and lucky me.

Thanks to all.

I have no explanation for this. I can only surmise that somewhere in Asia there are some children learning a peculiar form of English.

I’ve been a little busy all day.

How in the heck did you find that? I don’t even remember it. Thank you! Argie is such a good guy!

OTOH, I was born in Iowa, lived most of my life in CA, and now live in AZ. That’s 1, 2 and 3. I’m afraid to move to State No. 4. Think we’ll stay here. LOL!

We’re figuring out our summer vacation plans. It’s going to include Disneyland because Cyber’s only been there once or twice. I’ve been there better than 200 times. My sister (RIP) was head tour guide for about five years. I’ll need a crop for Cyber so he won’t get lost. The under-the-park stuff is cool, though. It’s been a long time since I had any friends at Disney, so that probably won’t happen. I will not go on “It’s a Small World.” Talk about earworms.

Thanks again for finding the post!!! I’m saving it. Think I’ll e-mail it to Argie. LOL!

I’ve never figured out how to “do” SLAVE windows either. Miss Rika did, though, but she never taught us that.

Maybe she just finished breast feeding a crowd.
