I hear ya, outofdafog - - my brain has been the same way for the past 10-15 years. And I did the same thing as Def - - went back to school to finish an unfinished Bachelor degree and hope to start an accelerated Executive Masters program soon! So keep soaking it up - - the more you do, the less Waybrained you'll become!!!! And that's the GOOD NEWS! J.

Drudge had "Pope Dead" in big headlines early in the day, then pulled it about 5 minutes later. J.

Well, my dad would have been 80 today, so I always remember April 1st as his birthday. Somewhere in our early teens, my sis and I thought it would be funny to switch the salt and sugar (he always had coffee and eggs for breakfast). So even though we'd pulled the prank a number of times, he'd forget and we'd watch with delight as he'd either spit out the coffee or gag on the eggs! :D--> J.

Usually bars. :D--> J.

You are correct, Houston. The entire word means "gardener" - - and I am really a "jardiner-A" (female gardener)but that was taken as a name on yahoo when I was choosing a moniker. And it is pronounced "Har-deen-AIR-o" (roughly). J. :)-->

And Happy Easter to you too, Mr. Socks! Don't know if you saw the Peeps on CBS Sunday Morning, but this ought to keep you out of trouble for a few hours: PEEPS Peeps –- those sweet (literally), enduring and ubiquitous little mashmallow chicks and bunnies that have been gracing Easter baskets for over 50 years -– are the subject of a Rita Braver CBS News Sunday Morning story. But more than just a profile of the Peeps themselves, Braver details the astonishing cult following that Peeps have developed. Go on the Web, and you’ll find hundreds of sites devoted to Peeps. We tracked down the people behind three of them – an artist who creates art using only Peeps; two librarians who used Peeps instead of students to observe library behavior; and a young man who is making a documentary about Peeps. Our story also includes a reference to a fourth Web site. For More Information: (the official Web site Just Born, Inc., the manufacturer of Peeps) (artist David Ottogalli) Power of the Peep (documentarian Matthew Beals) (library research) Sorry - - can't figure out the URL thingy here, but you can figure it out, I'm sure.... Enjoy! J. (a little peep)

Un-FREAKIN-believable!!!!! that's all that can be said about Arizona letting such a big lead in the last minutes of regular time dwindle away to a tie and OT. Lute! Were you takin a nap or what!!!???? O.K., I'm done grousing now. Congrats to your team, George. They certainly wanted it more than the Cats. J.

Happy moving, Psalmie! J.

Don't feel bad, Johnny.... I scored 65% Dixie - - that for a girl from Oakland, California! Go figure! Well, my family IS from Mexico, so that's pretty south, I reckon :P--> J.

Hey Watered Garden (I love your name, btw), Women at 60 know just what they want and go right out there and get it! So, glad you started your own birthday thread and happy birthday to you!!!! (I'm just starting the 50s, so you'll have to tell me how you're likeing the 60s). J.

Headaches are normal - - toxins moving around. Drink lots of water to flush toxins; lay off the Jolt :D--> Green tea is good too. Raf = more mellow???? ;)--> J.
