I didn't have my good camera ready, but I wanted to share today's sunrise. These pictures don't do it justice - it was blinding and breathe-taking.

Kelly, that's my daughter, Sachi, the movie star Wonderdog. But ask anyone who knows Voodoo that once you meet him, you fall just as madly in love. When Voo stayed at Penni's house, she collects stuffed animals, so he just decided which one he wanted. Then he carries it in his mouth and runs to meet Penni at the door with a baby in his mouth. He's precious, too. I love this thread but wonder where the rest of the pics are? Start posting! Penni, awesome job on that avatar for sure. beautiful.

I have a crush on my surgeon...
Daisy, that would have melted me, too. My next husband will be bisexual because the one I have now doesn't have much of a sensitive side. Although he told me tonight that he used to hunt pheasant but could never shoot a deer cuz they're too cute.

For Penni and the Poets. I have a few published, but yikes, they are deep and private and under a pen name and not intended to be associated with me. Oohh, I'm so mysterious. So who's gonna share? Penni, you better start this since I'm the (choke) shy one.

Joke Thread
Subject: PEDRO It was the first day of school and a new student named Pedro Martinez, the son of a Mexican restaurateur, entered the fourth grade. The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history. "Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death?' " She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Pedro, who had his hand up. "Patrick Henry, 1775." "Very good!" apprised the teacher. "Now, who said, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth?" Again, no response except from Pedro: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863." The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed! Pedro, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do!" She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Mexicans!" "Who said that?" she demanded. Pedro put his hand up. "Jim Bowie, 1836." At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke." The teacher glared and asked, "All right! Now, who said that?" Again, Pedro answered, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991." Now furious, another student yelled, "Oh yeah? Suck this!" Pedro jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouting to the teacher, "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!" Now, with almost a mob hysteria, teacher said, "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you!" Pedro frantically yelled at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001." The teacher fainted, and as the class gathered around her on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're in BIG trouble now!" Pedro whispered, "Saddam Hussein, 2003."

THANKS! I'm having a blast here. This one scares me, we were just babies and I hadn't gained all my weight yet. Always strategically standing behind him.

If anyone's never seen the Grand Canyon, it really is as majestic and enormous as all Heaven. Pictures don't do it justice.

Mothers...arggggg!:(
My mom is mentally ill, so we don't talk much. When they say, "you can't argue with insanity" they were talking about her. But she still manages to push my buttons. After a year of silence, the phone will ring at some weird hour. Last year I answered it, and she frantically said, "GET A PEN." Figuring someone was in trouble, I ran to get a pen. She said, "write this down" then proceeded to spell: "D pause, E pause, N pause, IAL... DENIAL, that's what you're in, you're in denial!" I hung up. Till this day I have no clue what she why she called me after a year to tell me I'm in denial, but that woman got me to write down the word denial. Clever. And MADDENING.

Two Year Bandiversary!!!!!
Last year's bash was so crazy that I never got to see the movie, and I'm sorry for that. I was stretching my attention in too many different directions, which is why this year I can't offer as many rides - I need to be home for my friends. I'm living vicariously through you, because only in my dreams could I afford plastic surgery. If I could do the surgeries you are sheduled for then I'd be happy with my weight the way it is. Good luck. Do you have a caretaker for post-surgery? I would offer but I'm so far away and can't take off of work.

Great, more tears. This time happy ones cuz he's so cute! My co-worker has a boy that age, who is facinated with me. When I have my bike here, I take him out to sit on it. He can't unglue his eyes for 2 seconds. All he says is "my cike, my cike." His mom cracks up.

My Heart Is Broken
Zoe, thank you for that site. Christina, if I were you I'd probably be hiding in a hole, and I will be you some day (many days since I'll always have furbabies.) Kitty Milo McSorley Bonekovic just turned 15 - deep sigh. The knowledge that our children will be gone is unbearable. My girl dog shares my pillow and my boy sleeps on my feet, always touching. That can't be replaced, but I agree that many other babies need love, and you've got love to give. Yep, crying at work again. Force a smile for the good times - the sooner the better, okay?

1st fill, it just doesn't feel right...worried
Sounds like you might be too tight, have you called your doctor. I'd want to hold onto all that tightness too, but dry heaving can be dangerous. Weigh the risks before waiting any longer to call him. I think most doctors would do a courtesy adjustment if your fill was too tight, as long as you call him right away. I've never heard of all the associated pains you're talking about though. I'm not a fill expert, but I think you should call your doc pronto. Better safe than sorry, right?
