Add nitrogen?<BR/><BR/>No worries about giving offense re: the McCains, at least to me. They're an ... interesting couple. Cindy McCain is so brittle-looking that I fear she'll shatter if exposed to loud noises.<BR/><BR/>My husband once remarked on John McCain looking at Sarah Palin and twisting his wedding ring around and around. "A cheater's tell," he commented, "tell" being vernacular for unconscious behavior which betrays one's thoughts.<BR/><BR/>He's optimistic about Obama's chances of winning the election. I hope he's correct, more than I can say!Tanya Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919250829858831002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-31165381167447991052008-09-24T04:08:00.000+10:002008-09-24T04:08:00.000+10:00Oh my, your observation of The View was hilarious!...Oh my, your observation of The View was hilarious!

It looks happier than ever at the moment, but I have never had a single lime off it. Maybe I need to teach my little boys some bad habits ...<BR/><BR/>I am with you re. McC. He's creepy beyond belief. I am flabbergasted at the welcome he's getting and quite apprehensive about the effect globally if he does get in. It stinks that we now have to worry about other country's elections too.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741677537472357815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-80611199565828962112008-09-16T09:37:00.000+10:002008-09-16T09:37:00.000+10:00Maybe you interpreted things incorrectly. The View...Maybe you interpreted things incorrectly. The View, is a bunch of liberal minded women that spend most of their time bashing anyone who doesn't pander to their politics. Most of them are loud mouth info babes who couldn't get a real job with their shrill and whining voices. The purpose to speak for all women, but their elitist views don't speak for many. Enter J McC and his wife...this is a frying pan for them. I doubt if there is one issue that they would agree on with this View group. Maybe, that is why they seemed somewhat nervous or stiff. If you guys down under ever get in trouble and need a friend in the USA......you'd be better off with J McC in office the BO!Striderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809828176514703114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-86069115656234193272008-09-16T09:30:00.000+10:002008-09-16T09:30:00.000+10:00Hi All, re the lemon tree, & the powers of wee...Hi All, re the lemon tree, & the powers of wee.<BR/>Before we ever saw the Fastest Indian, a friend of ours used to go to the Club every Saturday evening, & would wee on their lemon tree as he came home.
