Here's my girl, leaning in for a closer look at her cake. It's one of those creations made by tearing up an angel food cake into 1-inch pieces, then you toss the pieces with some strong cooled brewed coffee, spread them in a pan, frost it all with a coolwhip-chocolate syrup-sugar-cream cheese mix, and then sprinkle crushed Heath bars over the top, and decorate with bigger chunks if you like. Then it all chills for at least an hour, resulting in a delicious creamy toffee concoction! Delicioso and easy. The star candles are cool, aren't they? Thanks everyone for your kind wishes for her!

Sure, sounds fun! Oh....you meant....I see See, Alissa, froggie is one of those guys I was warning you about......

It's true.....my baby girl is twelve years old.....I can't even imagine where the time has gone, but she's a sixth-grader, all arms and legs and style and confidence and attitude! Another year and I'll be dealing with a teen! Well, I'm already dealing with Brennan (17) and have survived Tom's teen years...he's 21 now....but I haven't had a girl teen yet. Lord, I hope she isn't like I was. Trying to wake her up this morning, I shook her gently and told her happy birthday, and that she was 12! She smiled but stayed groggily asleep, so I stretched out beside her and began to tell her all the t

So sorry, Gary.

I was going to post that, if you hadn't. F'ing brilliant. I laughed til I nearly fell out of my chair.

But Kate, we do have a moron president! Oh....never mind.

No one here is calling you dumb. I just think you're misinformed. I'd recommend you read Obama's autobiography of his family roots & upbringing, "Dreams from My Father".

Easy, Jakob. Not to join in the fray, but you are ill-informed regarding the Muslim bit. But what I really popped on here to say is, Hey! Guess who got a Grammy? Spoken Word: "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream," Barack Obama.

This breaks my heart all over again.

Go Cloudy, it's yer birthday, I'm slow but It's still yer birthday Have cake now well unless you caught that bug that Aidan had first Go Cloudy, it's yer birthday I composed this for yer birthday! I made a cake too looks like Kansas have a big piece! 'cause it's yer birthday! xoxoxoxoxo

Great to see you, Robert, and glad the card made it safely to you. Sounds like your life is coming along nicely, which is as much as any of us can hope for I guess.

I don't know....I so admired Nat's knowledge of the various gods. She made me a Bast. Does this help? Thoth: http://www.pantheon.org/articles/t/thoth.html Bast: http://www.crystalinks.com/bast.html

As well as something like 100 people hurt in a sugar refinery explosion in Savannah, GA.

Our position has been stated before, but bears repeating. As set forth previously by solace: in this forum or any other, namely: NSFW: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/jor...bregas/gpen.gif considering how many of us browse the forum at work, and while this one isn't proably going to get someone fired, i'd still prefer to not have that kinda crap on here (it is amusing, not denying that). if it's something that is remotely questionable (bodily functions, graphic images, etc), just post a link to it and be sure to state NSFW (not safe for work) above it, but any general nudity,

I'm relieved to hear that everyone is ok. Sooie, that video clip was horrible to watch, and your photos made me wonder what you were doing outside snapping photos instead of hunkering down in the bathtub! This video is pretty horrible: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/weather/2...ref=videosearch

Sending out my strongest "stay safe" vibes to any of you in the tornado-afflicted states. I hope none of you, or your loved ones, are in the path of these monsters.

Yes, and let's not forget that he's been gaining ground steadily. I look for that to continue. CA didn't surprise me....I think he made a very, very respectable showing.

Yeah, your website looks terrific, Christy! I'll keep it in mind when I hear of babies arriving.

I totally thought it was Nixon, the shifty-eyed bastard. Obviously he haunts me still.

Here comes one heck of a roller coaster ride! Everybody hang on tight!

If it comes to that...a McCain presidency...I also wish him the best of luck. But I think (and hope!) that by now we all realize that removing a figurehead, powerful as he may be, doesn't remove the problem. Bin Laden's exit from the planet isn't going to cure the deeper rift. We need a new mindset on this, to make any progress.

McCain is insane. (Now there's a chant-able campaign slogan. I said it first, so I want credit as it sweeps the nation.)

It's been many years since I've felt genuinely inspired by a candidate. Obama has my vote, and my hopes.

Find a way, Dan. This time it's just too important. Any way you slice it, tomorrow ought to be fascinating. I haven't been this politically excited in years!

Damn those photos are cute.
