That is better-I break out in hives if I am exposed to msnbc...
I felt slimed, about to get a shower now.
A+++ loser jack@$$.
Keep me on the ping list please. ;)
Don’t forget the anti-bacterial soap...
are you SURE???? ; )
Yeah, I guess. Crazy morning here and I have a horrible cold. I went to bed at 8:30 last night. I can’t remember the last time I did that.
oh my GOSH. i just now got an email from the desk of lindsey graham asking about the Pain Capable Unborn Child Act that he introduced. this is news to me that he has any sort of prolife inclinations! geeeeee, wonder if the conservatives in SC having a TORCH LIT UNDER HIS BEHIND has him feigning a bit of care for the unborn to try to hang on to that seat??
my bro down in Tejas was laid low with a bad cold end of the week, and now my SIL is feeling puny. knock wood, i have dodged illness. xshub had a bit of a cold after his SU-MD game/tailgate. it was cooooold last weekend.
My youngest had it about a week ago and I blame the bad knee keeping me from jogging for making me susceptible. I know it doesn’t make sense but I’m cranky and illogical about missing my runs.
GIRLS RULE!!!
And yes, I could tell the one on the left was a little boy, with his dragon play clothes. Plus, he looks like a boy, with that mischievous expression!
He is quite the little rascal.
..then you both need to stay away from me.......am on meds for another of my endless sinus infections. Feeling pretty lousy most days, though better than before the drugs.
A+++ bring it
Janet got bumped off Megyn’s show tonight. Oh, well.
Guess I have to bail out the soother....
Yep, it’s not going to happen today.
