And what's with the elbows? Is she double-jointed or just put together funny?

Hey, quit peeking in the windows! We couldn't decide on the fridge. I opted for the least expensive one and he wants the big mamoo. We're still in negotiations...

He's wearing the Trent Lott hair helmet. How do the returns look? Turnout high?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Turn out is high but who turned out will be the key. The last polls were 59% against, 29% for, 12% too stupid to know. High poll numbers could keep the "against" complacent is my fear.

she looks like she could put your eye out with one of her limbs, sharp and pointed. eeks. nightmarish in fact. gwen stefani is looking better by the minute.

i was out of the loop for fridge discussions. i don't like side by side, are you looking at those? i find that they are not as roomy. i also don't like icemaker and water on the door, bc i know my kids, they would have the thing broken in no time and water and ice everywhere on the floors. i have hardwood in the kitchen, don't need more water problems. what is the big mamoo like? i have a normal freezer above a normal fridge, i think it is GE, most all the appliances were.

Hmmmmmmmmmmn.

Jean has double-jointed elbows two.

With her wrist touching, she can squeeze both elbows together.... (It hurts me to think about it....)

[Robert A Cook PE]

What?

You mean they did tried to plant one on the hillside, did they?

With all the water drinking in this house, it makes sense for us to have it on the door. I know they are not as energy efficient and any of those would be bigger than the one we got as newlyweds. We also have hardwoods in the kitchen but are contemplating yanking it in favor of Pergo, thanks to 10 years of dog abuse(they play tag at night chasing each other around the island and cannot stop short on the floor but it doesn't stop them from trying). The big machine is side-by-side, with the ice bin on the door freeing up freezer space, clear sliding shelves and lots of lights inside. Also, it has the water filter cartridge in the base on the front so it is easy to change. The shelves on the door are clear too, so everything is easy to see.

That one looks like an extra from The Crying Game. If the hands were as big as those feet, I'd bet on it.

Because of the anniversary of the 9/11, I am repine. Someone tell me happy birthday. Please.

[dixie sass]

I'm here, thanks.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Heck it's kind of late.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Happy Birthday Dixie Sass!

[dixie sass]

I know. Been sitting around feeling sorry for myself 'cause no one remembered my birthday today. Bummer.

[dixie sass]

Thank you WhyisaTexasgirlinPA. I love balloons!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oh..... that is awful! My birthday falls near Thanksgiving each year so we rarely do anything for my birthday either..... last year it fell ON Thanksgiving...... lol

Well DS, the best thing about having a birthday is..... having another birthday..... considering the alternative is NOT to have another birthday, right?

My motto is: Celebrate each year, it means you're still HERE!

[secret garden]

Happy, happy birthday dear Dixie!
