I'm totally cool with motorcycles. Now DH on a dirt bike on the back trails is scary. lol. He broke his collarbone doing a jump when he was 19 and sat through dinner before going to the ER (was afraid he'd get in trouble).

He's less wild now thank goodness!

Just got back from the dentist. Thank goodness for insurance. I'm now at $900 this year! Eeeep! Just have regular cleaning now, and I have more than enough coverage left (max $1500 per year).

Hurting a bit so I think I'll watch some TV and rest before picking up the kids in an hour.

The Diary of Anne Frank too "ographic for 7 th grade students"

Speaking with Detroit-based Fox 2 News, Horalek objects to passages in the diary's unedited version that describe Anne Frank exploring her own anatomy -- passages that Horalek says made her daughter uncomfortable.
"It's pretty graphic, and it's pretty ographic for seventh-grade boys and girls to be reading," Horalek told Fox 2. "It's inappropriate for a teacher to be giving this material out to the kids when its really the parents' job to give the students this information."

Hm. I'm wondering if they meant "graphic" instead of ographic? Since I don't know the passages they're referring to, I can't comment, but wonder if their wording was a bit skewed....

Lol....my hubby's over that too...come to think of it...he was never into anything like that..He just wants it to go to the golf-course so that I can have the car and not have to drive him in the wee hours of the morning...I never minded, it usually got me up and my blood circulating early. I think it's Rome that contributed to this. All those Vespas!!
He's going to look at it later today....yikes?!

Thanks Bub! I love it! Now to wait until May 9th to wear it haha

Absolutely beautiful ring! Congrats again!

I know, it's tough with the Easters so far apart - not only no motivation, but just not the 'feeling'... plus everyone else in our family celebrated the other Easter; it's only our Cathedral which is on the Julian calendar.
So at least I have only the three of us to make things for, but I still need to make everything. Because of the weeks' difference, there was no Easter tea this year, so no buying paskas/babkas. The only thing they sold were beets/horseradish.

and seeing a nude male member of the group..but it's like 2 or 3 paragraphs out of the book. It's not like there's a load of graphic s3x in there.
