Cooby - my mother had an audience of sorts with the pope once. She was a little girl, maybe two years old, living in Rome, and her nanny took her for a walk in the Vatican,when who should come walking by but the pope (Pius XI, I guess). He stopped and said, "What a pretty little girl, and what a pretty new dress!"

She is not happy, but hopefully she'll laugh about it someday. And she has to be nice to the teacher! :)

We made it there. And back. MK and his friends had a nice time, so it was worth the bus ride (we were actually lost en route to Camden, which is somewhat more palatable than being lost IN Camden).

She's okay, she has a little stiffness in her joints and he gave her a shot of cortisone and told her to lose weight.

I think he'd rather die than wear one of his mother's shirts. The ICK! factor is incalculable.

Canned macaroni & cheese, salmon, eggs, bread,cheddar cheese. In summer camp there was a farm on site and all the leftover food from the dining hall would go there to feed the pigs. Your recipe sounds like what their slop looked liked. No offense.

Indeed I was. I then tried to find a photo of Boston hairdresser Ron Hodges (ronhodges.net), but it was not meant to be, as apparently that Mr. Hodges shuns the lens.

Can anybody get an imaginary girlfriend with a weak bladder or do you have to have your own website?

Having your own website helps, but it's not necessary!

SC=100 on that idea. Just so you know. I, as a matter of full disclosure, have to pee all the time. There are three conditions for me: Gotta go, gotta go bad, gotta go or my eyes will fall out. I try to hold out until I'm approaching PISCON 3.

| Yancy Street Gang Mar 21 2006 04:40 PM |

So by peeing 8 (or more) times during the day she won't have to go during the 16 hours between when she leaves for home and arrives tomorrow morning?

How do you know? Did she stop and tell you that she is okay today?

Oh, I'm sure her bathroom visits will continue to be frequent, but I'm not going to continue to log them!

I remember that from my own visit to the Coke museum. My sister who had spent 7 months as an au pair in Italy told me that the children she cared for drank it all the time the way US kids drink Coke, so I guess it's a taste than you have to grow up with to like.

Except, of course, that the whole concept of 'energy drinks' is that they're chock full of calories so the idea of making a diet one is pretty ridiculous.

Spied a caffeine-ated beer here in the California grocery stores-- Bud Xtra or some such. 8 oz. bottles, loaded with ginseng and other essentials, including caffeine, to give you a boost-- now that's a stretch, a beer that picks you up. Has anyone else seen/tried this strange brew?

Oh dear LORD! I thought beer was a depressant? Or the purpose of beer was to relax you, take the edge off. Not give you a boost of energy to stay awake or something? Then again speed and greenies are sometimes washed down with some alcohol so maybe this is some culture's way of making a legal combination of the two

About 8 or 9 years ago I was being driven crazy by someone I worked with. She was an abusive self-hating person who really had it in for me. It got to the point where we wouldn't take to one another, just write each other notes and drop things off when we knew the other person wouldn't be in their office (she got in kind of late but worked impossibly long hours). I formulated a freelance plan, which in retrospect would have been disastrous. Just when things got as bad as they could possibly be she was fired. She tried to bring me down with her but I managed to survive.

Wrong! You can get it from a rusty nail, but you can get it from a clean nail too. The dirt that the nail may have come in contact with is where the tetanus originates.

My ankle hurts. Headed out for a three-day hike in the White Mts. and last night while just strolling between the bathrooms and the AMC hut I randomly twisted my ankle. There went our plans to hike over several 4,000 foot peaks. I managed to limp down today, but it's kind of bummer over all.

Just make sure he doesn't break a tooth on any pieces of eight in there. Later

My TV just turned itself on. Not as scary as Widey's coffee pot brewing coffee without being plugged in, but still...

I still think he has a nice hiney

He caught a baby cold. But he slept in the car both ways, 6 hrs each way

That's like an ancient pic. I'll throw up some 3rd-month bday photos soon.

The terms "throw up" and "three month birthday" go hand in hand.

Last night my son woke me up at 2 am to inform me that he had caught a bat in his sister's room.

Isn't bat one of the secret ingredients in Lebanon Bologna? Later

No, no, no, Lebanon Baloney is monkey meat.

Another awesome out-of-context first post on a page.
|
| cooby Aug 16 2006 01:12 PM |

The really bad part is that after he set the bat free outside, he started to put the big Tupperware bowl that he caught it in back in the cupboard until I stopped him
|

In the old days, you would have had to force that bat to marry your daughter.
|
| cooby Aug 16 2006 01:55 PM |

We're pretty broadminded. Besides, the bat was unemployed.

Ah, another one of those flighty types who are always hanging around trying to suck you dry.

Yes, I like the boyfriend who gave me the Mets autographed ball waaaay better

Another bat! I know I'm not going to sleep tonight

If folks (who seem to not care if they are riding in my driving lane) are riding those bicycles to get exercise, why are they buying 12 speed bikes?

I was doing an organized multi-day ride a bunch of years back and most of the participants were the usual assortment of young-ish types with their shiny & sleek new bikes. But there was this one older guy I kept seeing with his old, single-geared, clunky machine (probably a Schwinn) on which he kept a small sign detailing the bike's weight (about double that of a modern bike), it's age (decades) and a note stating that; 'GEARS ARE FOR SISSIES'

I got MK's teacher assignment for this year, as well as his school supply list. We already have most of the supplies in the house (3-ring binder, pencils, pen, glue stick, etc.), and there is no scavenger hunt required this year! All of the items are generic (colored pencils, post-it notes - but no brands or sizes specified). I'm a happy camper :)

I hope this did not damper the mood 39 years ago

I've completely ignored my level jump to Jeromy Burnitz; I've blanked his entire Mets career from my mind. I'm sitting on Pete Falcone until I reach someone more worthwhile.
