"Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially." -- Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)

You know, Uncle Ted is the master of pork, but sometimes that just isn't enough. Sometimes, it just isn't close. The saddest thing: this is our good congressman. At least we don't have Frank as our other senator anymore. Now, if King Frank just gets voted out as governor before he does too much more damage. It might happen. Last I heard, his approval rating was hovering around 20%.

I'm glad you're feeling better, sj!

eta: Yeah on the Prius, Kristin! A friend here has one and loves it. I rode in it once. Nice.

Noooooooo! The Preciouses! The speaker does not know actions to be taken if the pronouns were to go away!!! SEE!?!?!!

Go, Kristin, on the A/C procurage and Prius buying!

Aimee, any and all pronouns you need are yours.

P-C, I'm glad you like your green pants. I cannot comment on the gayness of the pants, but if they like other pants rather than skirts, that's okay with me.

Celeb sightings? Lessee.... Michael Jordan, Jackie Mason, George Clooney, Gregory Hines, Celeste Holme, Joe Mantegna, Dennis Franz, Romulus Linney, John Guare, Alton Brown, and Bill Clinton. I think that's all.

Aimee, hope you aren't too miserable flying back.

I pick up the Prius tomorrow morning and then begin the process of cleaning out and off my Forester to get it ready for sale. Poor baby! I'll miss you! But...but...shiny new car! Nav system! 60 mpg! HOV stickers!

Celeb sightings: Jay Leno nearly ran me off the road with one of his antique cars and Ron Howard ate sushi at the table next to me all within the first few months of moving here. I know I've seen other famous sorts, but I'm horrible about recognizing people or knowing their names.

It does not surprise me in the least that ita interviewed Margaret Thatcher. These are the types of things I expect that ita has done or will do. She's impressive like that.

Polter-Cow's Gay Green Pants sounds like a new age children's book.

Aimee can borrow my pronouns anyday! Rrow! Grammar, baby! Hope you feel better before you catch the plane, hon.

Raq to please be giving advice on matter.

You can safely combine Benadryl, Motrin and Tylenol.

Uh, for Em. Which should knock her ass right out. Is she still sick?

She is, though not as bad as she was yesterday. We've been keeping her hydrated and dosing her with Motrin and Tylenol for colds and coughs. We've also had her napping a lot. She's pretty active, her fever's down, and the snot faucet is at a trickle.

We've been keeping her hydrated and dosing her with Motrin and Tylenol for colds and coughs.

Well, even just Benadryl and Motrin will put her to sleep for the flight. Easier on her, easier on you, easier on the plane.

Cool. I'll pick some Benadryl up tomorrow. I looked at Target yesterday, but couldn't find any for toddlers.

Watch out for the 'how could you drug your child patrol' But I would plan on things to help Em sleep esp if she is sick and fussy.
