Oky Doky. See you later. I’m going to go play in PI. LOL You will probably get something out of it. :)

Well Lady Jag, as a retired plumber, I can appreciate your Thomas Crapper presentation. Learned about Tom in my first year in the trade along with the slogan of a plumbing company, “Your crap is our bread and butter.”

Hi Billie :)
I want a piece of that chocolate cake ;)
For Mozart's Birthday :)
A few of my favorites


Mozart ~ 4th Symphony

Mozart ~ No. 23 Adagio

Mozart ~ Rondo Alla Turca

Lovely pieces, GB!

Perfect for a stay-at-home day!

[GodBlessUSA]

Thanks LuvW :)

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL What a cute couple. ;)

[GodBlessUSA]

Oh we missed Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Sounds cute. I'll have to see this when it comes out on video. Booboo read all the Twilight books. So we went and saw that movie.

Wishing you and Missy a terrific Tuesday! :)

Tomorrow may be a snow day here. Fingers crossed. :)

Soul Kitty is a beautiful soul! What a hat. :)

The hat is a "knock off" of the one Aretha, the Queen of Soul, wore to a Washington event last week. The hat even showed up on a bird somewhere!! LOL.

Wondering if you and/or Mama Bear viewed The Bachelor last night....???

[GodBlessUSA]

Terrific song Luv! :)

Interesting articles... about to get a lot more attention during the Super Bowl. My cousin’s husband is the State School coach...”Mike” Williams whose real name is Mark Williams.

Yep, more snow. I bet you are getting this also. They said possible ice too. Could do without the ice mixed in.

Yay, snow day!

Hi, GeeBee - doesn't that cake look scrumptious?! It's from Forrest Gump's "My Favorite Chocolate Recipes" cookbook. The pictures inside are enough to make one drool. :)

Thank you for the three Mozart pieces - I have to download them to play without constant buffering - which one, if I did only one, would you recommend?

[Billie]

:) I think I saved more animals like that, but can’t find them. When I saw that one, I immediately thought of Anne Murray’s “Could I Have This Dance”. :)

[Billie]

I saw Aretha's hat during one of the many replays of the Washington events. It looks better on the cat. :)

Yep, I watched The Bachelor - hooray that he sent all 3 of those last ones home. They irritated me. LOL

So far, at this time, I'm pulling for Melissa. The 'widow' also annoys me, as did Nikki. Who do you like?

[Billie]

Will check out those articles in a bit, lonestar. Thanks for bringing them to our attention.

The other day I saw a thread about which country Freepers would move to if things get really bad here. My son says he might be interested in Australia.

Ditto here, Amy. It looks though like Sarah Palin is serious about a 2012 run, so we have some hope.

Hopelessly behind on thread, so don't know if Chinese New Year was mentioned, but "Gung Hay Fat Choy" to all at the beginning of The Year of the Ox!!. This means that....

THE YEAR OF THE RAT IS OVER!!!.

Let's plow ahead!!!

[La Enchiladita]

Your reflections on The Bach: how interesting!!
Wasn’t that a stunner the way Jason changed the “rules” at the last minute? He really manned up, I liked that.

After he sent Nikki packing, I got goose bumps while he danced with Stephanie, wondered if she might be the final “one” even though I don’t see a lot of chemistry there, and I find something strange about her, can’t put my finger on it. She looks like a trannie to me, lol.

This morning, I decided Melissa could be the last one standing...:) Even though Molly is my top pick, she may not be the best fit.

[Lady Jag]

Wiki I believe had a photo of a Crapper Co. sewer cover that was very nice.

Ever hear of Duchamp's urinal?

[Billie]

I like Naomi (I think that’s her name), too - and Jillian is interesting. Molly is cute, fun, and seems very sweet. Stephanie is wooden, and ‘too’ ladylike! (isn’t that something? that I think someone could be ‘too’ ladylike?) :)Who else is left?

[GodBlessUSA]

Hi Billie
I just saved this recipe. I have saved quite a few recipes, now I have to start making them. :) I just hope I don't have to run to the store for cake later, after seeing this picutre. ;)

The first one Symphony number 4 is one of my favorites. Mozart's music is so beautiful, it was hard to pick just a few.
