Thanks Doug. We've been computer impaired since yesterday...just arrived home today. Love the parody, although I think I will NOT share it with mom. She's starting to like you, especially since she heard how you support your wifes habit (I promise not to tell freeperville unless you do....LOL!)

Enjoyed having my own private ping. Eat your heart out starfan! (gosh..the claws are coming out again!)

On a serious note, Hillary scares me to death.... If she runs we must do everything in our power to expose her for what she is....

I'll reveal the habit --- quilting. Yes, I am a veteran of 3 quilter's "runs" in which we drive like crazy for about 1000 miles to about 20 quilt shops all over S. California -- from Palm Springs to Temecula to Manhattan Beach to Ojai. It takes two or three days. Thank goodness for talk radio.

I think you'll appreciate this. This morning I drank a smoothie from a red plastic cup that said: Luella's Quilt Basket, Manhattan Beach, CA.

Ingredients: banana, apple, orange juice, fat free vanilla yogurt, soy powder, SlimFast powder, lots of strawberries and blueberries. Yum.
