15. Just go to the lounge and hit the post button on top of the page.

No biggy. The mods will probably catch it and move this thread for you.

18. Thanks. I would go to Lobby and there was no post button there.

So I just went back to Campaign 2004 and hit the post button. I just thought the mods would put it in the right place. Sometimes I am way too naive. Thanks for the info.

10. Is he supplied with the proper Kerry-Edwards merch?

Perhaps you can make a Kerry-Edwards quilt out of campaign t-shirts and help him get a good, smart girlfriend.

Whoops!

14. I wanted to give him a Kerry/Edwards sign, but they really don't

have a yard. When he comes home, I'll make him take it and tape it in the window! Maybe I could get him one of those "Bush is Over" t-shirts!

17. That's what I did with my Kerry yard sign

I have triple pane windows and I just stuck the sign between the first and second panes. Now I just hope nobody throws a rock through my window.

25. I know what you mean

I have one window that has 7 different K/E signs. I do think the Firefighters for kerry sign scares them away. :->

But I know what you mean....

13. Did you tell him he can always come back if he needs a place to stay?

My mom used to all the time when I was in college, but then when I crashed at her place for over five weeks between college and my first job because I had deliberately set my first day of work to be after a long vacation, she kept floating the idea of me calling my new employer to tell them I could start earlier.

24. He's coming home to vote.

He wants to make sure that his vote for Kerry counts right here. This is Repug country and we want to change that! This is his first presidential election, and he's excited.

27. I am on the edge of the empty nest!

mixed feelings about it too....wanting it to happen to start a new life phase, knowing it is good for the kids to learn to live on their own, but the sadness about that great period (for me!) being over feels heavy on me sometimes.

All the best to you all,

:hi:
