I went to Thailand in 1992. My first experience with no rules driving and it was scary! Maybe the reason they don't get pissed off is that they're just relieved beyond belief to get home in one piece every night! LOL!
Savage said something brilliant just now. It’s our damn country. We aren’t leaving.
"Back to the 60's, wooohoo!"
I like to watch a pomegranate go to fruit. They make great barricade plants in drier weather, and live for years.
I think we are in the official “boring” season of news. It sounds like Mike is gonna go on a talk-fest in this 3rd hour: with a few outbursts thrown in for good measure.
Savage saying he's in a good mood today, now talking about S.F. weather, allergies, his fruit trees, Teddy ready to breed, etc. etc., why yes Savage infers to his audience
Good attitude and neat story. Most of the time I give parents some slack when it comes to young ones unless they are totally oblivious and letting them run wild or be destructive.
Kids have minds of their own and sometimes no matter what you do, it's just not going to work. I've had people make comments about my three or my parental skills at different times out in public. It's very uncomfortable, but I have to take them out in public sometimes.
The last incident was at Wal-Mart. It was just my daughter and I. I was trying to buy some candy for my son's preschool teacher for the last day of school. I had limited time to get it done. She didn't want to sit in the basket part or the kid part of the cart. She was standing up in the kid part, and I couldn't get her to sit down. A lady that was stocking some candy told me she would have to sit down as it was very dangerous (like I didn't know that). We weren't moving at that point when she was standing, but she could still have easily fallen out. I told the Wal-Mart person she refuses to sit down. I was asking her to sit down. Pleading with her to sit down. Telling her to sit down. Making her sit down but she kept crying like I was killing her (then you get looks for that) and would stand right back up. I was also trying to bribe her with some candy.
The candy lady told me, "Well you're going to have to leave the store if you can't get her to sit down. We don't want any lawsuits should we accidentally bump into the cart and she falls out." Anyway, my daughter seemed to figure out the tone of what was being said and she finally crouched down (deep knee bend style) into the seat. My daughter had a really mad, pouty look on her face, but at least she was in a safer position. After that she was fine and sat in the seat properly and we finished our shopping, but I never did get the chocolate for the teacher. I had to stop by Walgreen's to get some.
On the way back to Denver on his last trip, my husband was waiting for the plane and a lady (principal here in Denver) was travelling with her twins--girls about the same age as our daughter--almost two. I don't think they were identical. One was really outgoing and kept coming up to my husband and talking. So my husband enjoyed taking off some of the load for this woman by keeping the little girl occupied and entertained. The lady had two car seats to get onto the plane and she said the airline people had already told her she couldn't have assistance with that. So my husband helped her onto the plane and off when they go into Denver.
Another thing I've seen was where an older lady went up to a couple with an unruly toddler and calmed her by giving her a penny. Some people are understanding and try to diffuse the situation and other people will just stare at you and give you mean looks or make comments loud enough where you can hear.
It was about this time last year when the Israeli-Hezbollah war broke out, so one never knows.
John McCain wanted us to press 2 for english. He can go to hell.
Hear they do wonders for the prostrate.
I have a feeling I’ll have a rougher time my next go-around in Iraq.
GO TEDDY GO! GO TEDDY GO!
Did anyone see the story of the chihuahua with a heart on him:

All I can say is Godspeed to you, FRiend.
I’ve also been told that I look like a major celebrity to young children,and that’s why they like me. Unfortunately for me, it’s Ernie from Sesame Street. :-)
He’s a Rabbi without portfolio.
He speaks the wisdom of ancients.
Levin is a fully politicized partisan speech writer and former private practice attorney.
Thanks B-MOM, symbolic of Savage, a chihuahua ever barking on the sidelines wearing his heart on his sleeve, as all of the media continues to discount and marginalize his barking.
LOL!
You know, between Bert and Ernie, I always thought Ernie was the better looking one.
