Comments
like laughter being the best sound in the world, love chocolate, too. Hate self-doubt...
But Mexican food over Chinese? Noooooo....Professor J, you must come to Toronto when I'm back and I'll try to change your mind :)
Heidi
I'm looking at your comments and Heidi in Toronto wrote about Chinese food in Toronto - there are some EXCELLENT places there. Toronto (or Terrano, as pronounced by Canadians) is not as cool as Montreal, but it's fabulous.
I talk to my dogs all the damn time and I wish, with what's been going on with my pair, that they could talk back; my male is getting uppity as my female approaches her second heat and he's making me nuts.
Eek: bone graft surgery? Why?
Finally, laughter IS the best sound in the world.
85 and 84...AMEN (pun intended).
Julie
Using My Words
I like to hear that your silly. And someday I hope you get your dream job. It sounds great!
I also love the sound of laughter and spend all too much time buying dog food (and other things!)at Costco.
In the spirit of embarrassing disclosure, I will tell you this: my first crush was on Captain Stubing from The Love Boat.
As you were.
