Just in case some people missed it last night.

3 1/2 year olds should not have to have spinal taps. That really got to me.

The Cooking Channel (a lady who bakes sweets, I think) just had a story on something which I guess would be called a cookie exchange. Is this where you take a "special" cookie and they have a murder mystery play at the same time. Then all votes on the best cookie?

But, oh boy, THREE! Busy little bee you will be (no pun intended). Maybe you could use a few elves to help out?

[StarCMC]

ROFLMBO!! No kidding!

Where did you get it? I googled but only saw 2005 Republican Freedom Calendar which is nice and I'd like to have that also but seems to be a montage of small images and tidbits. I did not see any big pictures of Pres. Bush.

Merry Christmas to you!

Reminders are good. Yes siree! I had to have a ST years ago (young adult) and it was NOT FUN. I can't imagine a small child having to go through it. You would think that with the advance technology we have around the world, SOMEONE would have come up with a better way.
