I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

McClellan: "The Vice-President would not have peppered his good friend with birdshot if an as-yet-unnamed Middle Eastern self-proclaimed messiah had not suddenly manifested on a cloud borne by cherubim and seraphim to unceremoniously bite Mr. Cheney in an unmentionable place. Yes, Roger? Yes, Guantanamo Bay. No. No. No. I have answered the question."

Just had V-day lunch with DH. The restaurant gave me a rose - Nice! And so far, no one has sent me a Barbershop Quartet, though I saw them in the mall. (SUE!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That article says:

The state Parks and Wildlife Department issued Cheney a warning for not possessing a required stamp on his hunting license, but the sheriff's deputies announced there was "no alcohol or misconduct involved in the incident."

Not having the proper license isn't misconduct? ISTG.
