who me? would i do that?

[Slip18]

No. We forgot our birth certificates. Didn't have a passport. We were stuck in Ft. Lauderdale. We had about four hours to figure out what to do.

After going to a couple of governmental places and getting no answers, we went to the cruise director, of all people, and he said, "No problem. If there's a problem, just have them call me." And this was after 9/11.

The only thing different we had to do was stand in a line for people with no passports or birth certificates. It took longer, but that was the extent of it. We had no problem leaving the ship.

In the city of West Hollywood, CA, it is now illegal to have your cat de-clawed.

A city council"person" was quoted as saying [and I am NOT kidding here] "It just goes against nature!!"

(Anyone who may be eluded by the irony in this should visit W. Hollyweird for about 5 minutes - that should illuminate the issue fully).

By the way, did you bring home your permission slip for this class fieldtrip yet?

[dixie sass]

Nope, he won't. He called Bortz a SOB last night. Last night on Paltalk (patriots room) we listened to a tape of the interview with Bortz - I couldn't believe it!

I guess I shouldn't have sent that e-mail, but I was a little hot under the collar... Oh well, at least I didn't cuss him out, just called him a brat and a wimp, lolololololol. No, on second thought it was the right thing to do. Should have sent a copy of it to Hannity...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, and maybe Rush, giggle.

[dixie sass]

Happy birthday! I'd sing but I was sworn never to try and sing again. Oh well!

[TheGrimReaper]

Not me.
Still too soon after that "Masturbate-athon" thingy.....

[Slip18]

I see Cyber is over there already.

[dixie sass]

Covers every the whole year, doesn't it?

[Slip18]

West Hollywood became a city, what, 20 years ago, they wanted to break away from the main stream folks. They wanted a town all their own.

Have they painted it pink yet?

[Slip18]

Maybe a portion of your e-mail will be on O'Reilly tonight. I would split a gut.

[xsmommy]

not up to it, eh? ; )
