I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

E - where is the farm? 

And who'dathunk Big Bird had a real life look-alike?!!

I want to know the name of those gorgeous magenta-coloured birds.

Late one night a mugger
wearing a ski mask jumped into a path of a well-dressed man and stuck a gun in
his ribs "give me your money," he demanded. Indignant, the affluent man replied,
"you can't do this – I am a United States congressman!" "In that case," replied
the mugger, "give me MY money."

Quick congrats to pip on the new house!  How exciting, and also - what a relief to be done with the search.

Went down to DC yesterday for the big immigration reform rally - great turnout, great event . . . heard some really sad stories about families separated by deportations, but the overall atmosphere was hopeful and even joyful.  Lots of kids waving American flags.  I could have done without the sweltering temperatures - it was 90 degrees, and because the trees have yet to leaf out, there was not a spot of shade to be had - but I survived.  (I am NOT a hot weather person.)

Met with the GI doc today to set up the dreaded colonoscopy, my first.  It was my first appointment with her, and she asked me all the standard questions, including my occupation.  When I told her, sheepishly, that I'm an economist, she totally boosted her patient satisfaction scores by saying, "I was sure you were a dancer; you carry yourself like one."  In a thick Russian accent, no less.

To which anyone who's ever seen me trip over nothing and land sprawling would say -- hahahahahahaha!

Linda, too funny.  Reminds me of the first time I met one of my relatives....an educator.  He asked if I were a teacher due to how I talked and pronounced my words.  Well....nooooo, and I've since then had that stroke.  I get by despite slurring when I don't want too, but it is all understood....but I no longer talk like a teacher. 

I now talk like a person trying to pull words out of think air and sometimes they aren't there.

Love the kitty angel, Blue.  Let that phychosis lasts a bit longer.
