—but what would the adjective form of “minge” be? Seems like it would be “mingy”—

Not sure. Sting and stingy?

she has hair that lays flat to her skull and this length is not flattering to a woman her age, but all of that being said, this is the best she has looked in forever, even the hair. She often looks like a washed out dishrag.

Funny, but I’m currently listening to a Hillbuzz interview with Larry Sinclair...and wondering if there is a vacancy in the boy toy position at the WH. Perhaps he’s on the prowl.....

i wonder where the rumor of Larry Sinclair being hit by a car came from last week. His story is devastating to obama.

We have a big birthday week or two coming up. Those Siamese twins whyisa and Hobbes on the 28th, SG on the 30th and the pedant, more likely hatched than birthed, on 12/1. Anyone else?

I’m excited, tonight the boys will be at our house to watch the Patriots game. We moms have to “share” them while they’re home. I’m so happy they are home.
