the priest who asked us all to pray for Benedict our Pope actually did an eyeroll as he said the words.

Dude. I figure the Pope needs LOTS of prayer right now. Though possibly not in the way he and certain members of his...um...cabinet? think he does. I think he needs lots of prayer to do the right thing. To help him understand that he did the wrong thing. To help him hear God, since apparently he's ...not been doing so well with that. etc. etc. To help him in the future, cause I'm not feeling his heavenly future. And on and on. I figure the Pope and his cronies are in GREAT need of prayer. It's just not the "Excuse us from the shit people are raining down on us" prayer they want.

3&1/2 hour car ride+ dog + gastrointestinal upset sounds like a recipe for horror!

Liese, that sounds fabulous. You'll have a blast.

Loki just took out a fly mid-air with a single paw swipe. I don't know who was more surprised.

I like sitting out on MY back deck with the cats, eating dinner and just enjoying the sunset.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That sounds awesome.

Doesn't it? I am seriously amped for it. I haven't heard yet which of the workshops I signed up for I'm going to get. I loved every one of my sixteen options and I'll only get to do four! So in my head I keep going, "ooh, I hope it's still water paddling! no, birding! no, fly tying!"

Dana, that was a fun quiz, but I cannot rock it like you--I had to guess on several, and got 13/16.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I M little scared about that quiz, Dana, because I got 16 out of 16, and didn't even have to play more than a quarter of the clip. I need to have a job that included knowing a lot of musicals.

I would not want to spend 3.5 hours in a car with a dog that had intestinal woes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A high school in Alabama punished students for dress code violations at prom (i.e., dresses that showed too much skin) by paddling them. [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I rocked it, Dana-style. I assume Dana also sang the lyrics following each selection in a loud voice, as my DH and I did.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

3&1/2 hour car ride+ dog + gastrointestinal upset sounds like a recipe for horror!

I would not want to spend 3.5 hours in a car with a dog that had intestinal woes.

He didn't get breakfast, because we knew we might be taking him to the vet today, and didn't want to risk nastiness in the car. And we got lucky; there was no badness in the car.

The vet tech let us see the worm eggs under the microscope! (Seriously, it was cool, but only because they were eggs and not anything wiggly.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I stand corrected! Many of you can rock that quiz like Dana!

Dude. I figure the Pope needs LOTS of prayer right now. Though possibly not in the way he and certain members of his...um...cabinet? think he does. I think he needs lots of prayer to do the right thing. To help him understand that he did the wrong thing.

Yes, this. I felt that way during the Bush administration when people wanted me to pray for the president. I absolutely will!

“Not dead yet!”

Okay, who else can rock this quiz like I did?

I, too, rocked it Dana-style. 16/16, baby!

ION, I can haz new hair. Sort of. It's at least cleaned up and layers freshly trimmed and I no longer look like a bag lady, with the hair. Also have nicely cleaned up eyebrows.
