LOL .. ya Bonnie he will show up .. he is that stupid :o) He isnt looking at a few months in custody he is looking at maybe 5 - 7 years + +. I have yet to hear for the fool .. but its only a matter of time cuz he doesnt even have any clean underwear .. yuck. I got my new kid on the 5th. So far he isnt any problem at all. But he isnt in school yet so the expectations are pretty minimal. Tomorrow I am going to start tightening the screws :o) We are going to go the Humane Society in the morning (7:30 am) to volunteer. He needs to be doing something so why not work on his 40 community hours that he will need to graduate. I would have to say that the other foster parents in our program are a bit jelouse as my kids are hand picked just for me :o) My old social worker deals with all of the kids in the group homes so she knows me well and what type of kid would do well here. It works out great for me as they are usually an excellent fit so we have little issues :o) This kid is pretty explosive (so they tell me) but I have yet to see any behaviours .. you have to love the honeymoon period :o) He really likes all of the animals in our home which is a plus as the pets tend to defuse alot of the emotions a kid feels.

I have Firefox too, and was about to pull my hair out b/c of the Kohl's ad. You have to download the Adblock extension. I've been browsing flash-ad free for days now. Even my pop up blocker didn't get those horrible ads, but Adblock did!

My parents got sick from my eating half cooked chicken that an elderly relative "sort of cooked". Both ended up in the hospital. The relative's response was "oh I thought the chicken smelled a little funny".... we all just slapped ourselves on the forehead. We all still eat this relative's cooking, but the preparation is watched more closely and she is lovingly picked on occasionally. Things like this happen to be best cooks.... let your sisters know just so everyone knows what is going on. Your sister with the health issues may want to let her MD know. Depending on what was wrong with her, the MD might want to see here or might just tell her to call if she noticed a problem. I would eat your dessert (but then I still lick brownie and cake batter from the bowl and both have raw eggs!)

If that is a Juliet... I grew one last year and it was huge. Very productive and did not suffer from the leaf problems my other tomato varieties had. I hope you are going to grow it in the ground rather then a container? Juliet gets bad reviews and I suspect it is because a lot of gardeners try to grow it in a container and like I said, it is a monster.... Small oval shaped tomatoes... sized between a cherry and a regular slicing tomato. I like this one a lot.... Get it in the ground as soon as you can.
