A happy, healthy and prosperous New year to all. May all your dreams come true except for the nightmares.

I think I'll take the women out for some Thai food pretty soon. There's a new Thai restaurant downtown that we haven't tried yet. Might as well give it a shot. If it does not look right, there's another one down the road that we have been to before.

By the way, aside from the chicken with coconut milk soup being a bit too sour and not creamy enough (reminded me a bit of Sinigang, which I dislike), the rest of the food was great. Next time we'll try some other soup.

Next time we'll try some other soup. We took my DIL to lunch at a Thai place. The next day month-old Anton had rashes all over his body. Something in the Thai food passed to Anton through breast milk. Not that there's a problem with the food, but it was just something "new" to Anton's system that he reacted to according to the doctor. > We took my DIL to lunch at a Thai place.

Until I opened a post in this thread, I thought people were talking about -- maybe -- honey. So all you "honeys" in aue-land have a good holiday and a 2005 that satisfies you right down to your socks. Maria Conlon >>> A happy, healthy and prosperous New year to all.

My socks start (or end) above my ankles, so I guess that rules out foot massages. OK, so life has to have *some* adversities. Hope your cold is on its way out. Signaturewrmst rgrds Robin Bignall Hertfordshire England >> Hope your cold is on its way out. Getting there. This evening I'm feeling better than I did during the past few days. But very tired.... [nods off to sleep zzzzzzzzz.....] >>> Hope your cold is on its way out. > >Getting there. This evening I'm feeling better than I did during the >past few days. But very tired.... >[nods off to sleep zzzzzzzzz.....] People often do that after reading my posts, so you're in good company. Glad to hear it, though. A bad cold is actually nothing to joke about. I'm still feeling some after effects of one that I had three months ago. Signaturewrmst rgrds Robin Bignall Hertfordshire England >>> A happy, healthy and prosperous New year to all.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >So all you "honeys" in aue-land have a good holiday and a 2005 that >satisfies you right down to your socks. Or right up your a.s for those of you who have been bad. Since blanket good wishes are less than satisfying, I like to edit them to give credit only where credit is due. Evil doers will be punished, after all, and the Good rewarded, sayeth the Lord. Who are we to upstage Him? How many days must past before no-one has "Happy New Year!" on their lips morning to night? I feel so honored being singled out when it's directed at me. At least we're rid, for nearly a year, of the "Merry Christmas!"s. SignatureCharles Riggs They are no accented letters in my email address >> A happy, healthy and prosperous New year to all.

It won't be a nightmare unless your wings fall off, or they divert you to Poughkeepsie, where the landing strip is too short for carrots.

However, the benefit is largely to the readers of a.h.b-o-u who can now enjoy Sara's and your wit.

Carrot to rabbit to foot to charm to Ricardo Montalban. Inner meaning, duly desuperegoed and idded up to the hilt: you crave a trip on the Love Boat. That'll be 300 dollars.

Carrot to rabbit to foot to charm to Ricardo Montalban. Inner >> meaning, duly desuperegoed and idded up to the hilt: you crave a trip >> on the Love Boat. > > "Love Boat"? Wasn't Ricardo M. on "Fantasy Island"? Yes. _Love Boat_ was on at 9 and _Fantasy Island_ followed it at 10. Saturday evenings, IIRC. Occasionally they'd have an episode of one where one or more characters would spill over into an episode for the other. SignatureSteny '08! >> >> A happy, healthy and prosperous New year to all.

Yes, but it was a cunningly clever deliberate slip, subtly homaging my patient's buccaneering-femme interests. (So cunningly clever was it, in fact, that I only just figured it out myself.) -- Ross Howard |
