Welcome to Sanity Island, where only adults are allowed.

President Bush Welcomed Prime Minister Clark of New Zealand to the White House and met with her in the Oval Office. The text of their remarks can be found HERE.

Today is the "traditional" FIRST DAY of SRING. In celebration of Spring, two photos from 2006.

Pink Laura Bush tulips bloom in the East Garden. The tulip was named in the First Lady’s honor April 22, 2004.

Miss Beazley and Barney tip toe through the tulips in the East Garden of the White House.

PRESS BRIEFING BY TONY SNOW TODAY. IT'S A MUST READ. Tony is a saint and a very smart one too.

I have nothing against Walmart..or shopping at Walmart..

Me neither. I love their prices! I just don't shop for my clothes there.

Mom hates the new Super Wal-Mart. I actually don't mind it. Mom said she hates it because she doesn't know where all the departments are, and I told her that they only have two floorplans that they use when they build their Super Wal-Mart's. The Super Wal-Mart here is laid out much like the one I've been to in Madison, WI.

Yes at a school or college if you read Just William or Billie or Bessie Bunter books they mention them in there.

A lot of school now do not have them but in my day most did unless they got broken into and money and stock stolen which ended ours in the end.

We had chocolate bars, chocolate biscuits (cookies) and wafers, crisps (potato chips) my favourite was beef flavour.

At junior school they used to sell jammie dodgers wonderful shortcake biscuits with raspberry jam (jelly) filling

Yeah, 28 inseam. Mom calls me "a little stick". LOL

Thank you for Asking, Sweet FRiend, and I'm just So Thankful it has been Better Lately! I've Slowly Worked Back Up to a More Active Level, and am Even Able to Mop my Floors Again. I Took for Granted the Mobility I Always had in the Past, so Now I Plan to be as Grateful as I can be for this Improvement in Health.

I Trust you are Well, and Thank you for All the Excellent Pics you Post!

One of my sons has a 29 inch waist and a 36 inch inseam (both sons are 6'2").

Did you ever try to find jeans that size? LOL!

[onyx]

I'm convinced their miserable, petty Nancyboys. I can attest to that in one case, since I have met that one in person. What a colossal drip and loser. LOL.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I shopped at Wal-Mart one time, they had a display of mens jeans in the middle of the aisle and I was looking through them and dad was tagging along with me I grabbed up a size 42 pair and held them up, and dad said we could stick two of you in there. LOL

[onyx]

Interesting name! Tuck shop = candy store.

[ohioWfan]

Hmmmm........how unfortunate that you had to meet one of them.

I'm hoping I never have to do that, nor that any of them ever move any where NEAR Ohio! LOL!

[onyx]

LOL --- NO! Never had to search for that size. My son's are tall too --- 6'4 and 6'2 ---

[ohioWfan]

LOL! And some people wear even bigger sizes than that.

It would be scary to have a waist measurement twice as long as your legs!

[BigSkyFreeper]

I'm about 5'9" tall.

[onyx]

It was a real eye opener, although sort of "creepy" now that I think about it.

[snugs]

tuck is slang word in Britain for snacks mainly in public (upper class private schools).

Also a more working class word tucker for snack/lunch

[BigSkyFreeper]

LOL! And some people wear even bigger sizes than that.

Oh yeah, they had a size 56 coveralls in the stack. LOL 

[onyx]

Neat word -- I like it. :0)

[ohioWfan]

He settles for 31" and a belt. :)

But he's a cross country runner and a very healthy eater, and hasn't got a lot of 'meat' on him.

[onyx]

GOOD on him! He keeps himself in shape.
