Edited on Fri Sep-09-05 02:02 AM by CaliforniaPeggy I thought you'd abandoned us tonight! I should really know better.... But if you'd tried to log in earlier, you might have had trouble doing so... The whole of DU was inaccessible...no-one seems to know just why... It was awful...mass withdrawals everywhere, from everybody! Good to see you...almost Friday here now...I will soon be off to bed... And so the globe turns...and our days and nights turn with it.... :hug: :loveya:

I'd worked since about 7 a.m., and then Mr. Heidi informed me that the restaurant up in the village was having "American BBQ Night" with an Italian-speaking country-and-western band. About 10 p.m., we mosied on up there for a beer, but I swear, I hadn't even had a sip when the photo was taken. I was too tired to bring the glass to my lips. That's what middle age'll do to a girl. :rofl: YES, I request of a photo of my dahling bridgit and her trusty appendage, mr. bridgit! :loveya: gf!

113. I've never been pregnant, but it seems logical that

peeing a lot is a healthy thing. There's extra pressure on her bladder, after all, and peeing does eliminate toxins from the system. I don't think guys have it real, real easy; just real, real _different_, ya know? :shrug:

I doubt that I'll ever forget your artistry, my dear Heidi!

Say your ABC's backwards and skip a letter. It's a trick that the police try around here to check for DUI's. I encourage people to ask these police officers to do it first. Deer in headlights comes to mind in response.

150. His name's Joe

He used to live with JimmyJazz but with the new sig line rules she no longer had room for him, so I offered him a home instead.

162. That he does, so how things going in the UK. Everything sucks here.

I have been coming to the Lounge more and more to escape. The national feeling of sadness is so heavy, and shame for what happened in New Orleans. I can't watch the news anymore.

167. I think things are mostly ok here

It's like, certain sections of the press like to paint a picture of Britain that is going to hell in a hand basket. But then they have always done that, it is just the reason for thinking so that changes. These parts of the press like to say that Britons are "living in fear" since the terrorist attacks in London, but I don't recognise that at all. Everybody I know is just living their lives like they did before, relatively unconcerned. We are very shocked about what happened in New Orleans. Not the disaster itself, which was natural and expected, albeit worse than predicted. Rather the response to it, or lack thereof. It is quite clear that if it were not for the outrage, the US government would have been quite content to let those poor people rot and die. For a moment we saw what laissez-faire economics and small government really meant, and it is very ugly.

170. So many people here are so angry, the real Bush showed himself on this

one. I don't pretend to understand the rightwing mind, how they can be so cold and uncaring. I don't know how they can sleep at night. You are right, they would have left the people there to die. The head of FEMA lied and said they didn't know the people were there, everybody else did. This isn't going away, and I fear things are going to get worse. I am so thankful for all the countries that want to help, I am feeling very humble. Please know so many of us here are so different from the Bush and his kind, we are just in shock right now. :blush:

169. Wow.

Sometimes, I think all of the great ones have passed, and then I remember that there are so many young ones, and us not-as-young but still passionate, folks around. I'm honored by your friendship, MrS.
