The coterie of Crosby bashers needs to note that it’s not only scoring goals that makes a difference. He has played really well, in spite of the rumor of a nagging back injury, and has led the team. Lundqvist was outstanding.

Had a nice weekend. The twins' First Communion was this weekend. They were adorable. Only 11 in this year's class. Sad, used to be tons more when my kiddies were little.

I think he was busted a while ago. He just pled out recently.

I knew I saw some blurb about him recently. Can’t believe a cop in Ohio busted him.

You belong to the wrong coterie! I submit:

Convict Jackson Jr. gets $8.7k a month disability for “mood disorder.” I should be so crazy.

Call your headache a 'mood disorder' and claim disability payments for it!

beautifuL! love the dresses! first communion was at St James this past weekend also. i went to 8:30 am Mass and communion was slated for 10:30. they had a sign on the door telling first communion parents to wait until Mass was over to come in. And Father Happy Slap did the Mass to make sure it was done expeditiously. no sermon and we were out in 25 min. No way he was going to let Father Horkin do it, bc he goes on forever [young guy, but prob on the aspergers spectrum and ritualistic to a fault] and the first communion parents would be storming the doors!

I’ve had a ‘mood disorder’ ever since Obama was elected in November of 2008.
