I went to my 20-year and my 40-year. I now live about 3 hours away from my hometown, and was really disappointed that some people that live right in town that I would have liked to have seen, didn’t show for the 40th. I didn’t go to my 45th, either - I guess I’ll wait for my 50th, if I’m still alive and kicking. There were 311 in my class, which is so different from my kids’ classes - they each had around 90 in theirs. I enjoyed both reunions, actually, even though I wasn’t one of the “popular” kids in high school. Everybody was really pretty friendly.

I procrastinate changing my closet from season to season. My closet isn’t that big, so I have to rotate things whenever the seasons change, and that isn’t my favorite job.

I think that the bar was set so low for her that if she walked in without falling on her face, people would think that she was doing well. But, OMG, it scares me to think that she might be “one heartbeat” away from the Presidency!

Liz, your comments were right on. I guess that I still have a problem with some of those who supported Hillary now jumping on the McCain/Palin bandwagon. There is NO COMPARISON with Hillary and Palin. Sheesh!

OK. I don’t really care about her daughter’s situation - that’s a family matter. But, come on, how can the Republicans keep harping on Obama’s inexperience with Sarah “one heartbeat away?”

I can’t believe that a good Democrat would consider voting for McCain because Hillary is not the candidate! Your candidate is showing some class by supporting Obama, so why don’t you do the same!

My mother died when she was younger than I am now (at 61) Before she died, she had been having chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, so she did not look her best. She was very proud of her appearance, however, and always tried to dress nicely, and kept a positive attitude. She lived for eighteen months after she had been diagnosed, which was longer than we had thought. I still miss her a lot.

I loved (and still love) “A Tree Grows In Brooklyn” by Betty Smith. Our book discussion group read it recently and I found that it has definitely stood the test of time. I was pleased that the members of the group liked it as well.

Our school distcrict starts next week, because of the county fair, but many of the other school districts have already started. It’s actually because of the football play-offs in Ohio that they start so early here.

Good comments from everyone. I think that the Edwards situation ticks many of us off because he presented himself as such a family man. Hey, everybody knew about Clinton’s zipper problem! So, I can’t say that I was surprised when the whole Monica thing blew up.

Oh, wow, I don’t think I would want anyone to judge my character by looking in my refrigerator, even though I’m better than I used to be. I used to have stuff so old that it would make the lid pop up. Then I would end up throwing out the whole container!

I was so disappointed in John Edwards, but I agree that the media is overdoing it. I really don’t think that it would have affected the outcome of the primary, however.

I love “For Better or for Worse” also. I will really miss it when she isn’t doing it anymore!

When we moved to a small town in NW Ohio well over thirty years ago, we were amazed at how friendly everybody was. We would walk “uptown” to get the mail (we don’t have home delivery) and people would go by and wave, usually people that we didn’t even know. While we still live in this community, we now live “out in the country,” and is is different. While I enjoy having two acres and a newer house, I do miss the opportunity of waliking uptown and seeing people every day. I still get a chance to do that, however, since I am the Director of our local public library and I still have to walk to the post office to get the library mail, and I will miss that when I retire in a couple of years.

Hooray for JibJab! I love their humor!
