Slip right now I'm afraid to look at the radar.

The last time I looked at it there was another line headed this way about 3-4 hours after the other left here - that was a little over 2 hours ago.

[Argh]

My sympathies. About you're not liking liqueurs, as well.

I notice all the recipes are made by men! How orgasmic of them. LOL!

If I drank any of those drinks, I would be pucing.

There's a squal line -- at least that's what I used to call it.

The only weather we're getting is again HOT! But it's only 108, and that ain't nuttin.

I've got to run some of my errands now.

[Slip18]

We all know you speak and write English beautifully!

[Gabz]

Pix will come as soon as film is developed - I don't have a digital camera anymore. And if there is an addition to this family this evening - a replacement will be a long time coming as I am the one that has to make the budget choice!!!!



Thank goodness for the scanner.

[Gabz]

YUCK

[Gabz]

I don't know if there will be a puppy tonight - I hope so, but I don't know.

And even if it is so, pix are impossible tomorrow because I don't have a digital camera

Sometimes. When not suffering some form of lockbrain (lockbrain? like lockjaw?). You are both very kind.

[xsmommy]

arghy, you are among the most literate amongst our classmates, if not the most. i mean that sincerely.

[Laura Earl]

We need a digital camera as well.

[Conspiracy Guy]

We need to do some shopping.

[Gabz]

I know it's only a squal line - but i HATE driving in the rain.

Try and stay cool. that is the only redeeming factor about these storms, the temps have been tolerable.
