My internet has been down since Friday so I haven't been able to check anything. <BR/><BR/>Let's see - I agree with all the comments on Palin, I'd love a Bichon (although my heart is with a Schnauzer), and I'm super excited for all the visitors!Melanie Hooyengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781235493983907234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-19541438411008136652008-10-04T22:47:00.000-05:002008-10-04T22:47:00.000-05:00My puppy plans are on hold too.

I drool over the ones in our building (there's a three-month-old French Bulldog that lives down the hall and has The Best Ears Ever), but my husband keeps reminding me that we'd have to take it down the elevator and out into the freezing weather and pick up its poop several times a day. So not for us now.<BR/><BR/>Have a great time with your friend!Rachel Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274442663967438226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-89089740728389040342008-10-04T22:03:00.000-05:002008-10-04T22:03:00.000-05:00Hmm, I liked reading most of your blog, however, I...Hmm, I liked reading most of your blog, however, I might have to stop reading with all the demo talk.

Her pathetic attempts at "folksy" made me gag. And that cute little wink...shiver.<BR/><BR/>So sorry about the puppy. Yet there's always time for a puppy. Maybe your perfect puppy is up in puppy heaven waiting to be born for you one day. Did I just write that?

I'd rather be slapped by my wife and be forced to wear clothes than to go to a Lumber/Contractor yard.<BR/><BR/>I do plan to fly down and see you this weekend, bring a puppy, stay for the fireworks and fly home. Do I have to dress?<BR/><BR/>Damn. Then I'll just stay home and fix the porch.Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863439117101560823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-62007804347000191042008-10-03T14:18:00.000-05:002008-10-03T14:18:00.000-05:00IMO, Palin was able to avoid answering questions b...IMO, Palin was able to avoid answering questions because follow up wasn't permitted. <BR/><BR/>If you look at the majority of Couric's interview, most of when she was tripped was when Couric asked for clarification.<BR/><BR/>Now, go back and read the transcripts of Palin's debate. No substance. But I guess that's okay because she warned us ahead of time that she would provide the answers she wanted to, not directly answer the question asked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-23128150688902153522008-10-03T11:56:00.000-05:002008-10-03T11:56:00.000-05:00I slightly agree with the Palin analysis.

As for my weekend, I'm getting Smashing Pumpkins tickets tomorrow! Been 7 years since I've seen them. I'm psyched.<BR/><BR/>Edit: My OpenID isn't working for posting, so I had to go anonymous.

I have three dogs (golden, shelti and greyhound mix) and a cat. We had them before I knew I was allergic but I guessed because of the rashes and itchy tearing eyes after touching them. I wash my hands a lot! lol My pets are all over 12 years old now so after they go I may not be getting any more (so sad), but I'm looking at Bichons or poodles. They're supposed to be hypoallergenic.Aimlesswriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03012050763172251381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-59667597403611541062008-10-03T10:49:00.000-05:002008-10-03T10:49:00.000-05:00I'm still pretty sure she doesn't know what she's ...I'm still pretty sure she doesn't know what she's doing...I have this feeling she did better in the debate environment because she had some idea what type questions would be asked and could plan in advance. But still, she didn't do the deer in headlights thing, which is more than I expected.colbymarshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056535503422186623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-84085090405860516962008-10-03T09:56:00.000-05:002008-10-03T09:56:00.000-05:00Exciting stuff, Melanie!
