After the priest -- says under his breath -- (Self Edited - - - HoHoHo) After repeated Shushing and the Librarian threatens to beat us with the Complete Works of Chaucer After the Gay Waiter pours cold water in our laps and hands us our dinners to go! After the Bartender and Customers shout GET A ROOM for more than 15 minutes After a lovely evening in front of the fire cuddling while listening to NPR

I love NPR

Same here Condolences -- - I am heading to a funeral tomorrow as dear friend with no known health issues simply dropped dead in bed one morning asked his partner a question and died - he was 40 something

Which time?

BUMP How about it who is going to have a GIVING Holiday Season:? What Charities are Important to you?

Me Too!

The Halocaust Museum is a Must See -Check in advanced for timed tickets Both the FDR Monument and Vietnam Memorial are pretty amazing - I find the Lincoln Memorial to be both dramatic and inspiring. You will want to come back and when you do leave time to see Jeffersons home Monticello - but with travel it is a minimun of 6 hours -- Of all the Smithsonian Museums I like the Aeronautical Museum best

Anyone else IN and want to share why they are not OUT?

I always remember this stupid old Ivy League joke Princeton Boys Love 69 == Because it is so fair to all! I should have gone to Princeton

I must have read the same article -- Like you to no avail -- but my friend has red as well as a green thumb and brings them back to full bloom and spreads the joy around!

Tattoos are similar to collecting Emmett Kelly Clowns --- One or two is fine more than that people walk in to your house and start to think serial killer

If you traveled the I95 Corridor from Fayetteville to CT --- Likely and all through Brooklyn/Manhattan and Northern Jersey!

I had a friends who through the late 90s carried a hi-powered cordless drill in his fagbag and assorted door saws to cut/drill glory heads through wood/marble/metal wherever he felt one was missing . . . Rest Stops/Fast Food Placess/Diner/College/Airport/Bus Station/Bookstore/Gas Stations/etc bathrooms!

Hello I am US Senator Roy Moore from the Great State of Abbylama - Why dont you come see my collection of long rods and lets talk about your future as a Senate Stuffer

Thanks -- I love the Red Poinsettias and it makes my home feel even more warm and comfortable and a wee bit joyous -- I have a friend who has a huge garden and a green house and as the poinsettias start to lose their color I pass them on to her to care for - and the following season when they bloom she gives them to shelters/food cupboards/etc to use as decoration or as take homes for those who have homes.

Hey all most of us here are pretty fortunate and do okay financially. I don't know about you but I really Do Not Need anymore Materials possessions. I have done this for the last 5 or so years --- Telling friends - PLEASE Do not give me a gift - If you want to do something nice for me then donate to one or more of these kinds of charities in my name. If you are not aware I am a BIG Guy - and having to much food available has always been my problem. Depending on where you live the USDA estimates that between 1-in-6 to 1-in-8 Americans is "Food Insecure" not knowing where their next meal is coming from and/or lack access or resources to secure healthy food. Organizations like www.feedingamerica.org work with local partners like Philabundance in Philly to repurpose food from grocery stores/hotels/restaurants/conference centers/Colleges & Universities to feed those in need. In Philly www.Philabundance.org partners with nearly 500 agencies to provide more than 95,000 meals a week to those in need. The need is greatest over the holidays and summer when school breakfast and lunch programs are not operating. Feeding America estimates that $1 = 1lb of Food = 1-2 Meals. In this Country we waste nearly 40 million tons of food a year while people all around us are hungry -- Off Spec produce (i.e. Apples that are To Big/Mishapen/To Blemished) are dumped in Landfills by 10s of thousands of pounds each year - and that is only one example. So before you decline that Free Turkey or Ham from your grocery store === there are people in or near your neighborhood who desperately need that food to feed there family! So Please Before You Shop - Think About Where you Can Give to those who REALLY Need - Coats/Socks/Gloves/Hats are desperately needed this time of year. I was making a donation to Philly Thrift for AIDS and three homeless people asked if I had any gloves/hats or socks --- That I Could Share with them - because once things go into the store a price is assigned. To all of you Gentleman/Ladies and Those Who Have Yet to Make Up Their Minds - Take a Moment to make someone elses Life a little better Wishing you all Peace - Love - Health - Prosperity and Joy during the Holiday Season and Throughout the New Year

I plug in the lights on the Ficus tree --- I put out the red poinsettias and around the living room and near the fireplace - put out the candles and I am done and happy

I miss rounds - regardless of the friendly Gentleman -- It was a fun Bar where people talked and laughed and made friends

LOL - I told my older Sister during Freshman year in College Her Response " . . . Well its about time I have known since you were 13" And in about 27 seconds everyone else knew -- later on when I had a partner for 15 years he was welcomed into the family.

Only long enough to be a Mother F*ckin Bastard
