Watch that, remember where I live. And my new job takes me 30 miles north, I swear I now work in Fargo. Actual conversation from the other night: Me: Hey Tim, how's it going? Tim: Going okay, I have to get to Wal-Mart though, I need an ice pack. Me: Oh. Okay. Why? Tim: Well, hey, you know, getting some swelling and pain in my right testicle, I hate going to the doctor, I'm kinda hoping the ice might help. It's getting pretty big, hard to walk now.

Wait, I think I read once that she wasn't vetted. That could be scary. Or maybe she has no gravitas, it's hard to remember, which is the preferred word this year? To rip on a *veep* because of lack of experience, oh the irony. The next four years will be interesting regardless. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
