Sorry, that was my post. I fixed it.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
...how is it a GOOD thing to suspend parliament? How is it even an OK thing? Or an allowable thing?? It seems very sketchy to me. I mean...good lord. They can DO that?
Well, didn't we suspend Congress for a while? And I know there's been various legislative lockouts and such (I recall TX Rangers being sent to hunt down TX House members who were hiding to avoid a vote).

I have found a couple of ebay auctions now with the pink ornament, but I think we still have that one. (Or I broke it only recently.)
Also, the prices for vintage ornaments on Etsy are insane!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I guess it's the Parliamentary equivalent of being on a break.
Does the Parlaiment get to sleep with other legislative bodies? Or is that cheating?

Yeah, that's a plan to win friends and gain influence.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH just bought himself two fine guage merino wool v-neck sweaters. I had no idea he had such great taste. He should really shop more often.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me, too! I tend to not think of the business of politics as being so overtly dramatic, so it's fun when that stuff happens.
