They're right! But I raised one of mine from age 3 weeks until age 6 and I loved every minute of it. She's the one I miss the most. She lives in San Diego.

Trolls are out in force this morning. I hate to ruin a happy day... but sheeeeeesh, they're stuck on stupid.

[Anne of DC]

Eric got promoted?

Congratulations!

[ohioWfan]

I need to do some class prep and then maybe I'll venture out and fight the good fight before I have to leave for class......

They're trying to mess up the forum again with their leftist divide and conquer tactics.

[ohioWfan]

Yep he did! He's moving up about as fast as you can go (especially as a Reserve).

[onyx]

Oh yes, and this thread is LOADED!

[Anne of DC]

You must be so proud of him.

Enjoy

Thanks...I did. Baked fish & baked potatoes w/sourcream and roasted sunflowerseeds for topping. (Seeds may seem odd on a potato but tis a food combo that turns out is quite tasty. & for dessert 2 oatmeal;raisin & walnut cookies or as You know them as:Biscuits.

[Anne of DC]

I saw those pics of Mystery's son.

Ah to be 30 yrs younger!

Mystery, tell him "thanks" for his service for me.

And ILW, "down girl!" LOL!

[Majie Purple]

Yum to both pulled pork & cauliflower!
& CANDY any time of day/night...year !!!!!
;oD

[onyx]

I ate a whole head of cooked cauliflower. :)

[Majie Purple]

Man, that's a lot of cliflr! (shrthnd)

[swmobuffalo]

"I ate a whole head of cooked cauliflower."

A whole head or just a whole floret??

I'd hate to imagine the results of a whole head of cauliflower!

Hi snugs, I'm a bit late to the party --

I was struck by the differences in the way the Italian comes across (has that mobster look) vs. the way the Spanish Defense Minister looks (earnest)

Italy


Spain

I hope it's just a fluke (the Italian look).

[GretchenM]

Condi's suit reminds me of what we used to call Cinnamon Hots, a red-hot candy popular in my youth.

[GretchenM]

Okay, I know what happened here.

The First Couple was having another of their knock-down, drag-out fights, after W dispatched the Secret Service out of earshot, and he finally let Laura have it. He used one of the prior first lady's infamous ashtrays and took a big chunk out of Laura's calf. (You can clearly see in the photo the hostility that hangs on between them, they are barely able to stand on the same red carpet together.)

Cause of the fight: Laura wanted to chair a committe to force Margaret Spellings to include librarians as one-half of the task force on making all American children able to read by third grade.

Has anyone seen Ms. Spellings lately?

Thought so.

[GretchenM]

I love Laura's suit and especially the color. I hope she wears it several more times during W's presidency.

[GretchenM]

Calf = shin
