Pappy - You made me choke on my water with laughter !!!

Rant: First snow forecast for tomorrow, but hoping near the coast we get rain. Soo not ready for the snow.

Rave: My little man turned three yesterday...

Have a great week-end !

Go Travel-New house just north of where I live. If I survive the building process. ;-)

BTW-I was a sailor in another life. Did the Port Huron to Mackinaw race one year. Now, we are stink boaters.

Wagonwheel, enjoy your little one, they grow up so fast! BTW, they still have meltdowns as teens. DD had one a couple of days ago when I refused to let her get in the car with a boy I didn't know.

This was only her second one in her three years of being a teen, so I consider myself lucky. ***kim*** :)

Rave: Celebrating Statia-American Day this week because our island was the first nation to recognize US Independence in 1776.

Rave: Tuesday is offically Statia Day and therefore a holiday (no work)!

Rave: Those who can concur with rjw's sentiments about respecting everyone's opinions regarding politics.

Amazed, has the jury for Scott Peterson finished deliberating? There is a definite on the 4PM?

snowrooster Nov 12th, 2004 11:22 AM

GT - Yes, I'm watching CNN - verdict at 4pm.

Amazed Nov 12th, 2004 11:24 AM

News reports say jury reached a decision and it will be announced at 4 est. Hard to believe, given two were taken off in very recent days. Check Yahoo.com for details.

LoveItaly Nov 12th, 2004 11:34 AM

Do note that 4:00pm is Eastern Time, so 1:00pm Pacific Time.

buckeyemom Nov 12th, 2004 11:47 AM

Kim-You are a good Mom. I am amazed at how many parents let their kids go off with boys or stay over at people's houses they don't know.

Confession: I haven't read the whole thread -- I'm just here to vent.

Rant: Express train from Boston to NY was half an hour late. Why did I bother paying extra?

Rant: Had to stand in a looong taxi line in the rain for 15 minutes to get a cab. Traffic was so slow that I wasn't able to meet a friend for cocktails, our only opportunity.

Rave: I met CigaleChanta, who came to the show with her husband. (Thanks!)

Rave: I have a whole day in Manhattan tomorrow to do whatever I want.

Have a great weekend all!
