So, I cruised around, saw this post &amp; said &quot;I want to be a cool person&quot; and be accounted for...so now I have! I too suggest your write your thoughts, ideas, observations &amp; life experiences here...no need to beg to write a column for a paper that obviously doesn&#39;t what it is missing...write it here...I&#39;ll be back!Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13063593958343530490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052645765261724946.post-1580265520476233792009-03-09T19:49:00.000-04:002009-03-09T19:49:00.000-04:00There wasn't anything to comment on.

I agree with you 100%. Our gift giving had to be trimmed this year, as you know, because we are retired, but three gifts, if any should be enough for anyone. To take it one step further, make a gift to a local shelter, or a favorite charity of the receiver. Jesus is the reason, not Santa...even though he may me a little more fun.<BR/>Love you,<BR/>MDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052645765261724946.post-86667024614160104852008-11-27T17:55:00.000-05:002008-11-27T17:55:00.000-05:00I love how many cool people mention Oceano Dunes all over the web! Are you a local? I have devoted the last two years of my life fighting the crazies that want to close the dunes. We had the largest Coastal Cleanup Day site in all of SLO County. I've also collected thousands of signatures on my petition--have YOU signed yet??? We need your help to keep our dunes!!! -Kevin (<A HREF="yourdunes.org" REL="nofollow">yourdunes.org</A>)SLORiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13057997508962702091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052645765261724946.post-2674126775293715072008-11-16T18:47:00.000-05:002008-11-16T18:47:00.000-05:00No, No, No.......you cannot live with your parents again. Maybe close by, but not with them. They love you, but, you grew up and left. They are empty nesters and like it very much.

I have one spider plant that has survived a long, long time and a plant that someone gave me as a thank you for doing a story and they’re my survivors in my household. My late mother stopped giving me mums as they usually ended up outside with all the other dead plants. Fortunately, the plant I have of hers at work requires little water.<BR/><BR/>Dianne Pinder-Moss, editor<BR/>Almonte Gazette, Carleton Place Canadian and Mississippi Weekender<BR/>email: dianne.pindermoss@metroland.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052645765261724946.post-87622035826398333172008-07-13T21:42:00.000-04:002008-07-13T21:42:00.000-04:00This is one of the birth "defects" that all men have. Why is it that men will ask you a question just after you have stepped out of the room, or started to blow dry your hair? The answer to this and many other puzzles will persist until the end of time.

Brock brought his Guitar Hero to play for me and he is a rock demi-god! This is Guitar Hero one (dad is too cheap to spring for newer versions), and I was surprised at how many songs I knew (Smoke on the Water, I Love Rock and Roll, Sharp Dressed Man, etc,.)

I was expecting to hear on the news about some international incident occurring while you were there, based on your track record. I should have room for at least one photo. Just confirming that is the Pentagon building. And, of course, you’re up and close with Barack Obama.
