The radar looks nasty. It'll be here soon.

LOVE Love LOVE Frost! One of my favorites: Mending Wall Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun, And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone, But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean, No one has seen them made or heard them made, But at spring mending-time we find them there. I let my neighbor know beyond th

WHAT? You didn't hear the update explosions?

Then pardon me, please.

I send you both my love. I am so sorry you have this pain. I know how much it hurts and how helpless it makes you feel. I lost my Mom to cancer when I was 25 and she was 45. I have never felt more helpless in my life when she was so ill and there was nothing I could do to make anything better for her. The first and one of the few times I was ever so stricken with grief so that I was physically ill was when my Mom passed, even though I "expected" it. I lost my dad to cancer about 10 years after that. I don't think anything makes it easy to see your parents suffer, even if you're a

Thoughts and hugs and love. Grandbabies are precious gifts. I'm sorry for your worry and I pray for her health your comfort.

What? You didn't get an invitation to the tunnel tours? I wish I could tell you how great they are, but alas, I have been sworn to secrecy.

MAYBE... The recipient decided he or she didn't want to communicate with you any more in PMs and blocked you? Sorry it was a difficult evening for you, Pubster. Glad you got us all back!

Ditto ng!!

Scroll down to the bottom of that "news" page and read the fine print. It says: "This story was dynamically generated using a generic 'template' and is not factual. Any reference to specific individuals has been 100% fabricated by web site visitors who have created fake stories by entering a name into a blank 'non-specific' template for the purpose of entertainment."

Bummer. I hope it's just a nasty rumor.

Crab cakes and a mixed green salad.

When you simply walk in the door at Patak, the meat-eater in you just sort of stands up and ROARS, doesn't it?

Guuuurllll...Patak's is the !!! But no, I didn;t see your post. Should I go look for it?

I AM! Painfully shy and terribly insecure. What? That doesn't come across in my posts?

Me, too.

Sad. I lived in Guatemala for a while as a child, and also spent a lot of time in Mexico City. Guatemala was so sad. I remember one day when I was about 12, a man in a suit went into a little store and bought a loaf of bread to give to the two-dozen or so kids begging on the street--some as young as 12 with infants slung on their backs. He brought that loaf of bread...JUST BREAD...and gave it to those hungry children. It was like a thousand Christmases and a hundred birthday all rolled into one when he gave those kids that loaf of BREAD. It changed me. We weren't "wealthy

Have you read the warning label? It clearly states: "Tequila makes your clothes fall off."

Seriously? Things that *I* post repeatedly?? You obviously have me confused with some OTHER poster! Here, let's put those "nonsense" questions of mine in context, shall we? Start here.

((((HUGS))) It was a hard show to watch when we know families get that news almost every day now. And it's especially hard when we have such honest questions about the conflict that took them and our involvement in it when our young are sacrificed to it. Why are we still there? Why are our children dying there? I believe that in the beginning, there was a purpose. Now? It's time to give the whole hot mess back to those who personally appreciate the sacrifice. But OUR sacrifice for a cause we not only don't fully understand but also don't support in a way that includes t

Just out of curiosity, do you have nothing made of leather in your life? Do you ever use gelatin? Do you have any linoleum or wallpaper in your home? Any plywood or drywall? Ceramic tile or foam rubber? Laundry detergents? Any cosmetics? Do you have air conditioning in your home or car, and do you realize that freon has an animal fat base? Household cleaners and disinfectants? Any maple syrup in your pantry? Are you fully aware of the things in your life that are supported by animal by-products? Share with everyone how simply you live with NO animal products in your life whatso

Thanks. And I agree. The arsenic in chicken feed is disconcerting. It's good of you to bring it up for discussion. It's important that we know, and advocate for healthier CONSUMER MEAT. Which, by the way, I will continue to consume.
