Also very thoughtful words for LilmsFoodie.

Meesthare, that will teach you to lie in bed and just think! lol

LOL rj, I would never call you cute! I would refer to you as my friend rj the hottie! :-D

You people are embarassing me...! :">

Oops!! I mean, it's better than people calling me a 3:-o ...

Ok, not cute. How about SEXY?

rjw, the Hunk ?
I like Hottie too :)

rj-Instead of cute, we'll call you HOT! rj you are hot! How's that? Saw a guy at my class reunion, used to be overweight, big overbite and generally a dorky looking guy. He was HOT! All the girls were just drooling! Like a fine wine, we improve with age. ;-)

Rave-New Year's Weekend at Put-in-Bay, the last big hurrah. Weather is supposed to clear up.

rant: buckeyemom, I had a 'talk' with my husbands cardiologist the other day about that very same thing.

As a professional, I would never ever consider keeping a client waiting.

If I have a 11:30 appointment, I expect to SEE the DOCTOR by 12 Noon at the very latest.

To me, that is unprofessiional and unacceptable to keep someone waiting that long.

Family members are in the medical business and know this just frosts my butt.
