November

Wow. In just a few hours! In December/06, we missed the snow flurry/storm over the California/Oregon pass on I-5. Once we arrived in Eugene, we heard news that James Kim was missing and then found 1/2 naked and frozen from hypothermia. This story made national news. Just a few hours! There must be work for us on this earth!

Yes, very inspirational.

Many congrats! I love this one!

Aw. You love your cats, don't you? Do tell us that you didn't eat Bunji.

I love it when a Brit curses: bullocks! for example, sounds so cute. And how about: bloody _______! Adorable. With an accent and all, it seems harmless. HOWEVER, there's just some kind of satisfaction when we Americans blurt out: F*CK! or SH*T! Nothing like it. And it's so right for the moment. Know what I mean?

Amazing! Somewhere in China, is a whole city sculpted from ice and it's become quite an attraction there. It was televised on the news yesterday.

Um. Welcome to the truth. Often it hurts, but like a homeopathic tincture, once you down it, you feel better. Not science. Not magic. Plain truth. Now you can continue forward, imperfections and all!

watched the show yesterday + today... she looks 100 lbs heavier than her magazine cover... but says she's about 40 lbs! agree w/anacoana re: palpatations, insomnia, thyroid, menopause... but she said she's seen several doctors who never brought up the stuff Dr. Oz or Bob Greene were touting. You'd think someone w/all that money would be better informed, advised, and in check!

Can't imagine a potbelly or even 5 lbs on your gut doing 1k crunches a day! Having hubs as a PTA, I'm aware of and practicing "core" exercises to strengthen my lower lumbar area. Eating responsibly w/exercise is the only way to lose it. Not the infomercials or gimmicks. Only thing that gets me are the products that "Oprah" or some other celebrity allegedly endorse... like the acaipure product. DON'T make the same mistake I did and order the "free" tablets! Now, I don't care WHAT Oprah endorses!

EEK! Had a similar incident happen - and - you DO start thinking crazy! You feel so bad after you suspected those near + dear to you too. BUT, even though your sils didn't take it, perhaps since you told them, you might find another spot to keep your money lest another incident occurs in the future. At least then, you'll know NOT to suspect them.

I'm hoping for change even though it means it's gonna get worse before it gets better. After a recap of 2008 on ABCnews, there were so many schisters that one wonders whether there is any hope for the people. No wonder other countries have lost respect for this nation. Hoping the new year is good for you, my friend.

I absolutely love this animation. It was featured on "Long Ago and Far Away" - a series on PBS for children. We taped it and our son watched it over and over. Another animation we love is "The Snowman".

The root of bigotry is ignorance. Do they have missing teeth and have they appeared on Jerry Springer's Show?

So glad for you!

May your time w/family + friends be filled w/the kind of stuff great memories are made of.
