Made my day yesterday to hear spitzer and weiner were going down. Too bad in my local election the drunk won the primary. Good grief. What’s the matter with this county?

Ewww, Ti. Mental images of Client Number 9 and Carlos Danger was a mental image totally uncalled for.
losing...lol. ; )
i am far too young to have grandchildren ; ) my youngest is 19, oldest is 24. I look forward to them in the future though!
A++++ ridiculous. there is no sanity left.
insanity reigns.
My ex brother in law was a grandfather at 31.
what is physically possible isn’t necessarily morally proper or in the best interest of the child.
we are attending a wedding this weekend of one of xsboy’s 21 yo St James classmates. This young man and his girlfriend gave birth to a beautiful little boy 3 years ago this November. Both families are Catholic and extremely pro-life. The parents had the couple get married by a justice of the peace immediately. Both Stephen and his gf continued to live in their childhood homes and the baby went back and forth between them. Both are in college. They did the pre-cana classes and are getting married in church this weekend.xsboy is coming home from school to attend the wedding. he has hockey practice on Friday PM, so he intends to get up and leave by 6 am Sat to make the wedding.
I never said it was moral, but you are objectively not too young to be a grandmother. ;-)
morally too young, not physically.
Done by lunchtime-how convenient is that-you can try everything out...
I have the TV off now
While I work on a bid-
So I don’t have to see
Obama acting like a kid
On today, of all days
I just don’t want to see
Him there at the pentagon
Playing hey-look-at-me
The panegyrics of the media
Praising him near and far
Are offensive on 9-11,
As he longs for another war...
I did a number on my back hauling stuff too heavy for me out of the study yesterday, too impatient to wait for my compadre and helpers-I have no excuse for exceeding my limitations when part of my job is to keep others from doing that. So I’m doing invoices, working on a bid for a little job, and glad I have plenty of large Salonpas patches...
For Obama, the Press is panegyric
They’ll avoid anything that’s satiric
Now it’s one massive scam
But they don’t give a damn
That for America, his plan is Pyrrhic.
I am now a grandfather of sorts to a delicious baby egg.
OMG you aren’t going to eat your progeny are you????
A++++ oh you poor thing, you need to rest up!~
so sad. A++++
It’s the only reason I signed on to this entire “pet chicken” thing. About time we got something out of this venture.
they were gone when i came back from picking xsbaby from her class! hallelujah. Need to clean and put stuff away! cleaning lady is coming tomorrow to do a thorough cleaning, but i want to do the kitchen myself, bc i am just thrilled to have it back.
but you will consume the FIRSTBORN????
Look for a photo on my Twitter.
