That's why it's ironically funny, Loki. Bachmann was the one who wanted a thorough investigation of Congressional members for anti-American sentiments. ;)

WOW. Bitter, you rock. :up:
(did you get to meet Ted Turner?)
Whenever I see Ted, I think of Family Guy and I can't stop laughing. I am horrible. :haha:
When I see Ted Turner...I first think of TED Talks, then Montana, then Jane Fonda...and eventually CNN, TNT, or Turner Classic Movies. Left to my own mental machinations, Teddy Roosevelt and the Teddy Bear come into play. Then I remember my kids watching their favorite movies on cable TV while hugging their favorite stuffed bear or Disney character. And how my special Pooh Bear and Little Bear books were transformed for the next generation...
by Ted Turner, and how he turned cable TV into the next revolution.
:eek:
Looking good for The Boy #2! Hope to have him all ours by September!

You going to be an adoption version of this guy? :p
Lol, actually I'm the inverse am I not? Taking on extra responsibility voluntarily? :)
Just wait until you have to pay the college bills of 30 kids. :p
Two is enough, thank you!
What if they both turn gay? :( No grandchildren for you then.
Yay! I get to keep more of my retirement!
They'll mooch off you until you die. :p
Don't most kids at this point? :p
Hell, my grandparents have great-grandchildren that mooch off them!
Well, I'm 41 now...if the Boys (7 and 5) can either keep in in their pants (or like other boys) I may not have much mooching time as it is.
Stinging nettle soup! I have finally made it, and it is a truly yummy thing. The past few days have been full of the good things in life: food, drink, company, love.
Friday gave me a perfect steak, a few good beers and an impromptu get-together at a pub. Saturday, at 1 AM, we decided to share the large roast lamb we'd planned to have for dinner. Some of our close friends whom we hadn't hung out with in like FOREVER came by for dinner--miraculous, given the short notice and how grown-up and organised everyone is these days--and it was terrific. Everyone was in a good mood, they got along well (several of them had never met), a couple of new boyfriends were inducted, and we just sat and talked and ate and drank (just a little :o) for six hours. The food was delicious--a new starter that was very simple yet turned out omnom, lightly fried spring veggies, lots of salad, a ridiculously juicy roast leg of lamb and a great deal of truly inspired cumberlandPLUS-sauce. If I could've, I would've just glugged the sauce down straight. Oh yeah, ice-cream served with fresh berries!
Today, pork tenderloin with veggies and a good sauce... and the aforementioned nettle soup, which was jazzed up with some thinly sliced smoked ox heart. Yes, smoked ox heart. The half-price gods have been very kind to me :heart: great food to go with a fantastic series of video lectures on OB/GYN.
Why do we work? So we can eat.
Also I have learned that "sexy bumblebee" is apparently a thing
I have composed a haiku to honor today's surprises
Life's a banquet and
monday's been licked clean. SURPRISE--
the true spice of life
Who the hell originally thought of eating this?Quote:

We're playing at a local festival next saturday, headlining after basically only local bands. So there's an announcement on a music website (which is fairly big for music news and show reviews), and we are called 'a real headliner' and 'local punk heroes' :haha:It's really tasty, my grandma used to make it for me :heart:Quote:

Isn't that partly because Bush spent so much in his last year? Of course an increase is small if you start high.Quote:

Not like Romney was twisting the facts either, of course..Quote:
