They are all sweethearts, and we're some very lucky fans.

Oh, Jenna, she is simply gorgeous! And that picture of Lyric and her Unca Brad is precious beyond words! WOW.

YAY BABY SOOIE!!! Welcome, sweetheart!!!

Being sent with all my vibeational abilities.....getting headache now.....go Jenna go!

Happy Birth Day, Lyric!

You should be ok....for now...

He's actually 17 and a half already....we got around to this late, and he's been champing at the bit for awhile now. He's so proud of himself today. His examiner told him he'd done so well that he should change his name to Perfecto. Yeah, he can't have anyone younger than 20 in the car with him, and can't drive alone between the hours of 11 pm and 5 am. Good, sensible rules I think.

Brennan got his driver's license today. You've all been warned.

The Brothers K had exactly the quality you describe. That also took me awhile to get into, but then suddenly I was so hooked I could hardly put it down. That book had a lot to do with baseball, which I have no particular interest in, but the sweep of the bigger story was so hearfelt and true, emotionally, that it totally won me over.

Happeningstone, I loved Three cups of Tea. Such a great, hopeful story. redpillbox, let us know how Duncan's "The River Why" is. His "The Brothers K" is one of my favorite books ever, one of those you just never want to end because you are so swept up in the saga.

That info came from the TicketWeb site I had bought my tickets through.

This thread has ceases to have anything to do with its subject & since I'm tired of editing offensive posts full of gratuitous obscenities and personal attacks, I'm closing it. Grow up, everybody (you know who you are)....what're you, 12? The flinging about of foul language and "funny" put downs does nothing to enhance your "maturity". Far from it. Jeebus, I feel like I'm babysitting.

Be well, Jenna. The homestretch of pregnancy always seems the hardest, but soon you'll be holding that beautiful baby.

This is on hold at the moment. More information will be posted here before too long.

Best of luck, blindgonzo! May your problems turn out to be manageable & your little car soon be back on the road.

Sorry for any confusion, but TTL is the appropriate forum for general topics (not related to Wilco). We want to be sure everybody sees the upcoming birth news!

This is the appropriate forum for a specific (non-random) topic. Glad to hear things are better, Jules.

Kevin, I read your initial post and wanted to reply on the spot, but was too rushed at the time to organize my thoughts. When you said this:

Thank you all for the civility shown in the past several responses.

I used to have an elderly next-door neighbor who had a positive phobia about spiders....she couldn't even stand to look at pictures of them! My son Brennan had a t-shirt with a spider picture on it, and she would get so mad at him if he wore that shirt over to her house. She'd make him go home & change if he wanted to visit her! One night I was over at Grace's, chatting with her after I'd helped her with some housework. She was lying in her bed, reading a novel before sleeping, and as I stood there beside the bed talking to her, I saw a good-sized spider begin to rappell down from the ceil

Same here. Hope the postman isn't happily caffeinated somewhere out there!

Yeah, well, imagine the part where I was snuggling the trembling puppy up against my nightgown, trying to calm him because he was shaking hard enough to rattle his little needle-sharp puppy teeth, and it suddenly dawned on me that hey, those little bumps weren't skin tags, they were TICKS. Ewwww. Yuck. Ewwwwww!!! From there to two flea& tick baths & tweezers was not a stretch at all. He's so worth it. What a love! He already comes in response to his name. I'm smitten.

Well, good in theory, but the way Buzz eats the treats leaves crumbled bits everywhere. Besides which, I don't think my tiny house has any available empty horizontal surfaces, despite my best efforts. We are just feeding treats when Noodle is out in the other room, and I notice that Buzz is getting smarter about polishing them off while he has the chance.

Me too! Also makes me painfully aware of how many gorgeous, fascinating places on this planet I still need to travel to! Wow.
