Kitteh is going to have a field day with this one.

I LOVE this! Especially the diversity of ages of the participants. There is a lesson here: Never think you are too old to be silly and have fun. Never let go of that inner child. Growing up is SO overrated, so just don't do it. Play every day!

This isn't a dream, its a nightmare. Someone PLEASE wake me up.

Cell service is spotty, at best, and yes, I have been trying to talk her into it. You know how it is with family, they ask your opinion and for help and then do what they damn well want anyway.

Yes, but, know that the residents of these rural places take matters in their own hands and will SHOOT you if you break a law (well one they agree with anyway). These same people will, however, take you in and treat you like family if you are kind to them.

How to explain a township...In a very rural area with no actual city or town, its a form of government. No mayor, police, etc, just a board of "trustees" to see to road work, etc, and that has no direct taxation, but is funded through property taxes. The fire departments are usually all volunteer and the county…

I set AOL up on my sisters computer just last year. She lives in the townships and there are no other options available. She marvels at how fast it moves when she is here on my network.

And here is to hoping they will have no data to collect.

I agree to the "wait" theme of the article. Give yourself some time to gain some objectivity and grieve. When you go back and look at them in a different frame of mind you may want to keep them, if for no other reason than to ask yourself, "What the HELL was I thinking?".

Janet walking toward you... ( . Y . )

I would want to check it out over a winter as well. I HIGHLY recommend Vit D for winter (though I take it year round). I used to get SAD so badly that I had to take anti-depressants over our long, grey winters. I started taking Vit D and no longer have that issue and don't have to deal with the negative side…

And the winners are........The blood sucking lawyers.

You can also use this to squirt water at the people (and dogs) rolling around on the ground laughing at you for wearing this oh-so-dorky device. Protects from muggers too, as they would be too embarrassed to beat up anyone wearing this. It would totally kill their cred to bother with you.

And don't let them drive your beloved and treasured Mustang EVER.

No, that was before we were even married. Now he has 2 things to never forgive me for; slipping up and telling his buddies I taught him how to drive a stick shift, AND having the nerve to divorce him.

I taught my then boyfriend (now x-husband) to drive a standard shift, which is not that big a deal, until I casually mentioned it in front of his buddies. He never forgave me for that one.

Retribution from wives tends to come when you least expect it and last forever. I am sure there will be a chapter 2 to that story. ;) And I love Woz too.

I am always pleased when one of my comments strikes a chord with someone, even if its a revolting chord. At least I know I made them think. ;)

I just gave in and let whatever varmint that shows up to the bird feeder eat there. I did make it more entertaining though, by hanging the bird feeder on a shepherds hook that is about 5 feet tall which I covered in Crisco* to make it really hard (and funny) for them to get up there.

Whatever you do...don't give it mouth to mouth.
