Oh, you must be so happy. Congratulations.

Sorry been so scarce, it just seems like budget season ran into boating season & then all the sudden it was year-end close, too. Dvery second I’m not at my desk, I want to be on the water! Been stopping by but mostly nothing brilliant to add to comments…

I’m with Cowgirl, but to a different direction:

Pia, check this out:

Lt. Watada, age 28, was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii where he enlisted in the Army and was obligated to serve on active duty as an Army officer for a term of three years concluding on December 3, 2006. Lt. Watada was stationed at Ft. Lewis in January 2006, when he first asked to resign his commission because as he stated, “I am whole-heartedly opposed to the continued war in Iraq, the deception used to wage this war, and the lawlessness that has pervaded every aspect of our civilian leadership.”

ok, that means he joined the army in 2003. The war was goin on then. So he joined the Amy during a war he thinks is illegal and unjustified? Now he’s sat in the Army for 3 years with no attempt to resign his commission until they call his number?

I smell something a little less principled and a little more self-preservation on this guy.

Might want to check whom you are supporting before you jump in whole-heartedly.

I took back my teeth, and that sounds strange. We can take back the country.
……………………
What a quote.

Well, you will also need a teeth comb to rid America of political lice(lies) of vice.

I wish you well.

God bless.

Hi Pia! I am heartbroken that life takes me away from so many of your delightful posts! I am glad to hear the tooth thing is FINALLY resolved!

My crown, from back in December when all this crap started because of the infamous dried bread bits my in-laws gave me, now has a nast infection that may lead to quite a few complications but I won’t know as the soonest appointment available, the emergency appointment I was given, is for Tuesday!

So yeah, my minor stuff and wirlwind troubles have had me at the dentist’s for two years.. I cannot imagine what such heavy duty work has entailed for you! How about a relaxing trip to neurotic Spain as a treat? Come on over!

As for Watada… I think he has a right to protest in spite of having signed on the dotted line… those afraid that it’ll start a trend… I don’t see that and it takes guts to go against a whole establishemnt and an entity that is a force of its own… good for him for speaking up and taking such a huge risk to stay true to himself…

Like always, brilliant Pia! Much love and huge besos!

Me…

I hope your mouth will feel better soon. I can’t believe you actually like Listerine. That burning sensation always made me want to quickly rush through that part of mouth care.

I thought I was alone! I love the clean feeling in my mouth after the Listerine. So many people complain about the taste/whatever…

Give me more!

Listerine breath strips are a godsend.
