My example sentence:

Pehaps William Ayers' rich papa thinks his son's terrorists activities were merely didos, however Obama should know better. Now, after the election, Ayers admits they are "family friends"........can't wait to see the pics of him and his wife jumping on the bed in the Lincoln bedroom.

I wake up every morning hoping that the results of the election were merely a MSM dido. After coffee, reality sets in and I start looking for ammo sales.

Dido has a new album coming out. I bet i absolutely hate it as much as any of the older albums.

Why do we still call them albums?

My table saw has a dido blade. It's really cool. It cuts grooves and rabbet joints.

Wait, that's dado blade. Sorry.

They still are albums. An album is a collection of things, like a photo album. In this case, it’s a collection of songs.

The phones starting ringing here at 6:15 - but I was expecting it, as I had just seen on the news that school was being delayed 2 hours because of fog.

The weather is severly messing up my plans. The rain never eased up until it was too late to go grocery shopping and so we planned to head out as soon as the bus came this morning, usually 7:20. Now we can’t leave for another hour.

ROFL!!!!!!!!

I was on my way downstairs for another cup of coffee and glanced out the window at the top of the stairs. there was Jax, with her bookbag. I openned the window and informed her the bus wouldn't be here for another hour --- she got really pouty about that.

No time for homework, spending this time making up my WalMart list. Hubby has to run up into Maryland so I'm having him drop me off at WM, then we'll hit the supermarket on our way home. Saves me a trip to WM next week.

Yes. Can you imagine what will happen to the stock market when A couple of trillion bucks are hauled out of it?

I know that, but still and all MS is based in MD, not VA.

Those lines do blur, however, when one must spend great lengths of time in DC. A chore, thankfully, I do not have to endure!

Thank you so much, but my sunny self is not sunny this morning.

It is foggy, overcast, drizzling rain, AND y’all, it is supposed to get down into the 20’s here this weekend.
That makes for one cranky butt old woman.

Alabama is not meant for weather that cold. I don’t even own a coat. Thank gooodness I have 300 pounds of doggies to sleep with.
