happiest of new years guys!

...well, here we are finishing up the year about 16 inches below normal... could you kindly divert it our way?

your stories are neat... but I have a bunch of 37 cent stamps and now I've got to get a bunch of 2 cent stamps! :(

no problem... mine was in the early 70's... 71-74... (as far as acid goes) :) the only drugs I take now are for the occasional back spasm, etc... prescribed by the doctor! (got to set a good example you know)

Sirguess... when was your period of heaviest acid use? Was it back in the early 70's? (some very good acid back then) or was it in the 80's or 90's? (in which case it may not have really been acid at all)...

welcome freeindeed... have some of the pecan pie... you said: you could make quite a bundle on ebay I hear...

Aren't the caps (and the ice polar packs in general) made of fresh water? ...it's been in the low 80's the last coupld of days here in DFW...

I liked the Penn & Teller Thing about Elvis and The inconsistencies of the Theologians, but I don't know Whether that makes the Theologians the ones that Are wrong or right or the Folks who believe them I am sad however to learn There are some who doubt The legitimacy of the tooth fairy I know that teeth have brought Many in Sudo's profession Much gain in the bank account So I'll choose to believe That by typing like this

what does "veneration" mean?

...this year I doubled my take of last year... TWO lumps of coal!!! I am doubly blessed... yes I am!!!

I want to take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and a vesting option for 2010. Kevin Millwood has agreed to terms with the Texas Rangers.

OK... so I emailed my overshepherd and told them that Reverend2Ts said I could claim the week off... dangit! thanks a lot 2Ts... big help you are! oh... wait a minute... I was supposed to claim the promise!... shiite! ...wonder if I can get that job back??? I trust all had a happy holiday season... and that hegotHope solved his dilemma...

hey don't worry hiway... Sandy Jr will be a fine back up catcher... because he can still swing the bat and is good in "the room"... he did fine in that capacity here last year...

Ron... try whistling "Pop Goes the Weasel" a few times... that ought to do the trick... but then that song will be stuck in your head...

and now I hear the BoSox are trying to talk Theo into coming back in "some capacity"....? Matt Morris has evidently told the stRangers he'll be signing elsewhere (Cardinals or Giants?)... big surprise huh?

that's a good recipe niKa... I'll have to try it... by the way... would you please take this weather back?

Hills... I've got a 61" Samsung DLP... it's great... check one out... or another DLP... less expensive and the pic is awesome...

my sentiments, feelings, whatever are very much along the lines of what socks and paw have already shared... I had been out less than a year at that time... but I remember the exact place I was and what I was doing... it was one of those times for me... it made no sense... when I hear "imagine no religion" I always thought it was referring to all of the hate and bigotry and killing that wouldn't or never would have taken place if not for religion... I never took it to mean "imagine no God"... ya think maybe he touched a few lives?

wonderfulEx10... I'm so sorry I missed your Birthday! I sincerely hope it was a happening one! you're wonderful!

ahhhhhhh.... Helena Bonham Carter..... ahhhhhhhh

wow... Mike AND Allan AND Oldiesman all "concurring"... who woulda thunk it? Funny Raf! very funny!

2046 down 358 up just your basic cable modem with wireless... fast as I need for now... until the FIOS gets here!

well... the winter meetings are winding down here... and the stRangers keep teasing... oh well...

yeah RottieGurl... it's good to see you around here again... ...but I'm thinking you really are obsessed with this idea aren't you??? :) ...and you'll drive farther for a dog? hmmm.... let us know how it goes... (or maybe you could organize a weenie roast at Heidi's with our sister Jardi???)
