of course it would have been nice to share the thot but, when i think twice on it, i figure mebbe it was indeed wise just to drop it.

too many creative little creeps out there crawling around the toobz.

i’d hate to be a mod. i can’t imagine how they handle it all. tough, necessary job to keep the Lake clear and sparkly-clean, even while inviting all the big & little fishies to coexist with whirligig beetles such as meself.

remember… even junior has opined that fish and humans can coexist (or some such dang thing. gawdwhutanidjit!).

i have no idea what i just said, or what it means. such is the life of a whirligig with a free-range mind… oye!?! *g*

Elizabeth Edwards is one of my heroes. I continue to hope that there will be some breakthrough in research that allows her to stay as long as she’d like.

I look forward to hearing about how it’s going this morning with Speaker Pelosi and an entire hall full of people who’d like to ask a few unscripted questions.

About your comments: When I was in seminary, a text book had a picture of little African children whom the missionaries had all dressed up in American Sunday best suits. I am sure they meant well; just how out of touch we can be. Thanks.</p> Good for you.
