Magnolia

^ I can't say it better than all of the above. I love this place, too, and have made so many wonderful, lifelong friends here. Thank you so much Mud, and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers!

a Crisco-laden..

Absolutely not. This is not the school's job. If my child had gone to a school that did that, I would have taken them out.

No, but I'd like to someday if I have a little land.

^ :icon_laugh: HAHAHAHA!!

^ No shit, Sharon? I had no idea!

Toni, based on your recent "Random Thought", here's another birthday treat!

^ LOL, same around my workplace - except of COURSE we never swear in front of the kids. Once they're gone, watch out!!

I love theme parks, especially the Disney ones. My new favorite is California Adventure. It has THE best roller-coaster and I love that cool "Glide Across California(?)" where you really feel like you're flying over the state. It's very awesome and very unique. We took the kids alot when they were little, but I still love it just as much now. (I agree that it's best to try to go when the lines aren't too long!)

YAY, it's your birthday! :041: Hope it's WONDERFUL!

Happy Birthday, Toni! Here's a little Dave to brighten up your special day: Love, Barb

Mango (esp. in a Margarita, lol) Banana Pineapple 3 things you have to do before you leave for work in the morning (or start your day whatever you do)

The story about the Waiting was cool. I always love to hear Tom tell that story. Eddie Vedder's story was funny. He was jealous of Tom! Marion, that was one of my favorite parts! Can't wait to get the DVD so I can pause and replay all the parts I wanna see again. Loved reading your thoughts, Marion. Thanks for taking the time to write them down.

Ha! I never thought of this one - that would be cool!!

^ All good points. Also, what about the Fillmore shows? Someone mentioned that on the officials. I sure would love to see a "director's cut" - I'll bet there's still TONS of good stuff laying around somewhere!

Good point, Mud. Damn that's alot of money! I don't blame him one bit for wanting her to just go the hell AWAY!!!

Teresa - what an fantastic show that was! I love "Levon", too. I'd die to hear it live. I do think that greatest hits shows are more fun for the majority of fans. Unless you're die-hards, like we are with our band, you really want to hear the familiar music from the band you are seeing. I'm REALLY hoping to get my hands on some Van Halen tickets in November. I'd love to see them. (P.S. If you change your mind, can I go with your nice hubby instead?)

LOL, Connie! In the theater, everyone cracked UP when Tom said that!!

Aimee, I see that thread over in "Best of Everything".

Beth! Fabulous photos and what a great time you guys had! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

^ I know what you guys are saying. When I adoped Anna in August, I swear I had to go through a background check that definitely made me squirm! Eek. This is a kitten, not a baby. HOWEVER, I do appreciate that the organization (Friends Of County Animal Shelter) cared enough about their animals to be choosy about who adopts them. When I hesitated at signing the paper saying I'd never give her away if I couldn't keep her for any reason - they would take her back instead - the girl explained that it's the only way they have to make sure the animals stay in good hands. I do understand that. I think a case-by-case assessment should be common sense, though. OBVIOUSLY, Ellen gave the puppy to a loving family and they should get him back immediately!

mashed potatoes (especially the ones I make - former MIL's recipe - they're soooo good!) Christmas cookies pumpkin pie 3 holiday dishes you don't like but most people do?

waited so long....

For some reason, "Kicks" - by who? Paul Revere and the Raiders maybe?

Where is "all the above"? LOL
