I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE fried pickles. They're one of my favorite things in the world.

Just try one...you'll be addicted, too!

I want to adopt RNCheryl's rave about the evil man that was finally found and killed.

Hopefully his death will result in the violence in Iraq subsiding.

Gone. All gone. Not even a crumb left.

Mr.GoTravel is going to be pi$$ed that I ate the entire bag and didn't save him a single chip.

HA! I got to them first.





I want more.

Rant : Found one. A guy I know just called me. He had nothing to say...at all...literally. There was that uncomfortable dead air after we exchanged the usual greetings, "what's up?" "nothing much" "what's new?" "nothing much".
Why do people call with nothing at all to say to you? grrrrrrrr.....hate that.
Rave: It's still Friday!
Happy weekend to all...and to all a good night!

Thanks all for your well wishes. GoT if I had a bag of those chips I'd give them to you - I don't like the pickle flavored ones at all
Thinking of those of you who need an extra shot of good health/healing this week.
For those that are making vacation plans - lucky you><
Happy Friday to all! Pam

Yes, Lay's Dill Pickle Potato Chips. I can't take it any longer. Aaargg. I might have to get in my car and get some.

MelissaHI, I'm trying to figure out the relationship between a sun burn and a frosted mini wheat!

COBRA. I think it is one of the best things to ever happen to health care insurance.

hi cmcfong - those pictures are great! My favorite one is on the top row, fifth one across (the one with the curvy road - gorgeous! Or the one with all the nice women getting the food together, lol - GoT has got me craving chips and a sandwich!)

Regular chips with French Onion dip - yum! Can I even remember the last time????????

Rave: CAPH52 et.al.'s medical news.

Rave: Finally found a near great Chilean Pinot Noir: '04 Porta Grand Reserve (Bio, Bio valley). Think a CA Pisoni for just over $12. US, lol.

Rave: Last house guests left this AM. No more 'til 25 June, then all summer.

Rave: Germany 4 Costa Rica 2.

Rave: Mexico's goal keeper returns after his dad's recent sudden death.
Viva, Mexico!

Rave: Highs in the low 80's; lows in the 50s; little humidity, and some intermittent rain.

Rave: Al-Qaida's recent and future losses. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi finally got his special place in hell (updated news reports say he died slowly after the two 500 lb HE bombs detonated).

Rant: SO's 9 y/o (spayed) American Eskimo rescue has a strange and bad vag infection. I thought she might be diabetic, but no.

Feliz fin de semana.

Seetheworld--Yes, it was Starrsville who had the pillow recommendation. It was through Restoration Hardware. I bought a few and gave one to my mother for Mother's Day. She left for a cross country trip the very next day and said the pillow was fantastic!

Funny story about COBRA.

Once, between jobs, I needed urgent dental attention. As the dentist was not sure about my insurance, I said, just charge my credit card, and I will deal with reimbursement myself.

The check I received from my medical isurer was issued to, and I am serious, no kidding! ready? "payable to Faina Cobra Again"

Seriously!!

My husband was ecstatic! He said, finaly they've figured out your true nature. Yes, we are still married.
