My last daughter was less than 2 when I started weaning her. She was toddling around and it was time. Those teeth hurt at times. OUCH!

Drudge usually knows what’s going on, but he has no link yet.

He's teasing us for repeat hits to his site, I think.

I am more and more impressed with Breitbart's investigative abilities....Washington Post Romney 'Bullying' Profile Contradicted By... Automobile Magazine...this is fascinating how it's unfolding on Twitter.

Another good Spanish word kidnapped by the English speakers. Turn about is fair play...the Tex Mex b-ball crowd hijacked “lemonade.”

“The Celtics lemonaded the Hawks last night.

When is a good time to wean? When they say “Other side please”.

Lemonaids is a disease a person can get from infected fruits.

Still drizzly here-yay-I can catch up on research for that big bid (turf roof, anyone?) and freep-

The word sounds like a confection made with sugar, cooked till melted and brown...

Obama jumped the shark again-
Same gender marriage and more
His camarilla of secret advisers
Has made this mistake before

The war on this, the war on that
And don’t forget evil big oil-
The EPA didn’t, and now the price
Of gas makes everyone’s blood boil

Just let the idiots keep it up
Like Nixon’s and Carter’s bunch-
They only make it more likely
That November is a knockout punch
