Will have to try them. I love the Macintosh-Peach
and the Mandarin-Cranberry! Loves those fruity mixes, smell so good you can almost taste them!
My yard is a giant puddle.
It squishes like a wet carpet when you walk on it. I can't wait for spring! If those stoooopid squirrels will stop digging up my bulbs, the gardens are going to look great this year.
Yay, my future son-in-law is such a peach. HE didn't forget about me! nm

It's an oldie - 'THEM' - about giant ants.
I still think of them every time I drive past that part of the L.A. River near Griffith Park, and see those cave-like tunnels along the side......
Palmetto bugs are the giant flying cockroaches of the South. nm

James Denton sm
He used to live in Nashville and whenever he comes to town he gets interviewed by the TV station where he used to work and he always seems like such a cool guy. He has got the looks AND personality.
The Quickie by James Patterson
They should make a movie out of that one.
I am so depressed about them finding James Kim dead. I am having a really sm
hard time grasping this that I can't imagine what his poor wife and family must be going through. I can't even move and want to read everything about them finding him, etc. if he only stayed in the car with them - He left Saturday morning to look for help and the found his wife and girls on Monday. And he was found dead today miles from where the car was found.
I guess I could thank God that his wife and 2 children are still alive. I am happy they are alive, but it just makes me unbelievably sad what he must have gone through. He had such a great will to live and yet he died out there.
I don't know if anyone out there reading this who lives in Oregon, but I certainly have zero desire to EVER venture out into the Oregon wilderness, now more so than ever. I've heard horror stories about one-lane, winding, extremely hazardous roads and I don't understand why the state won't fix that? This isn't the first family to go through something like this because a lot of maps are contradicting.
This should serve as a warning to anyone who wants to travel the Oregon mountains, especially in the wintertime - DON'T DO IT.
How tragic and sad.

James Gandolfini, but only doing his Tony Soprano accent..
and James Earl Jones. The only woman I can come up with is not an actor, but it would be Maya Angelou, she has the most crisp, perfect command of the English language.

Coming from a Steelers fan, that was bad judgement by James Harrison
no need for that...probably won't get fined though because he didn't hurt the guy...
The voice of Darth Vader was James Earl Jones.

Yeh, just reading where NFL's James Harrison's son was bitten by their family pit today
The child was 6, family dog. Severe facial wounds. The dog will be held 10 days before it is put down. Lovely animals.
