1. You are alive, the world has not ended

even as the USA is sticking its head up its ass about pollution, China is awakening to the cost of pollution

[Fumesucker]

2. I met a girl who sang the Blues, and I asked her for some happy news.

She just smiled and turned away.

5. Armageddon has been postponed indefinitely...

Sarah Palin, who jumped the shark years ago, may well be sent to that final political graveyard--that of obscurity, soon.

7. We adopted a 7 mo lab mix pup from our local animal shelter...

and she is doing great! She had been there for 2 months, I think because of her eyes. She has one brown eye and one 1/2 brown 1/2 blue and when we 1st saw her we thought she might be blind (she is not...it's called the merle gene and we think she has some border collie). She is getting on greatly with her 9 yo canine sister, who is dominant and usually doesn't care for other dogs. She is enjoying exploring her big back yard and has met a fellow pup, a 9 mo old Rott who she adores playing with at our local dog park. :)

Chicken curry!

10. My bout with cluster headaches has ended.

They're coming to take my Oxygen tank away this afternoon. That's all the good news I need right now.

[Liberal_in_LA]

16. +100

[SusanaMontana41]

19. Keep your tank. More smog a-comin'. You may need it. nt

[MineralMan]

22. Nah. I know these headaches. Once the cluster is over, I'm OK for

two or three years. Smog has nothing to do with it. The headaches are triggered in the brain, not the lungs. Oxygen just fools the brain into thinking it should contract those blood vessels. Very simple. Very annoying. I've gotten them every couple of years since 1991. They last three or four months, then disappear.

[SusanaMontana41]

24. Sorry I didn't make my post clear. My suggestion didn't have anything

to do with your headaches. I'm very happy for you that they've packed up and gone away!

[Turbineguy]

11. I got some uber-stylish glasses

at Costco yesterday. Half-price.

This thread probably belongs in the Lounge.

12. And here I was thinking all hope is gone. nt

14. I'm donating two loveseats (in good shape) to The United Way to give to

anyone in Paterson who lost their furniture during the floods.

And I'm getting on a work crew to help clean up.

[Recovered Repug]

18. I saved a bunch money by switching to Geico. nt

[SusanaMontana41]

20. lol!

Can Geico really save you 15 percent or more on car insurance?

Does mod mom's new dog (see above) chase cats?

[jwirr]

21. We are going to can our own salsa tomorrow and preserve what

ever else we can from the garden this year. The sun is shining.
