Tina Fey. Smart, witty, funny, and great looking. Consider me a fan.

I too watched SNL a few weeks back (it was a new episode) and was shocked at how poor the writing was. Some of it was funny, but overall, like you say, the show really misses Fey.

I started to watch it, but it didn't outweigh my alternative! ;) It was soooo late and I was sooo tired! So you like TF?, I hear she is running for Prez in the next election!!!! Kind-of-like a ross peroh vote! LOL! ;)

Here's a clip from my favorite scene in Designing Women: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz_ZpoYBzaw
I loved that episode and was cheering her on for defending her sister! Watching it again brought literal tears of admiration to my eyes as her lil sis watched and listenedI Those behind the scene moments of setting the record straight brings back memories, even today! I remember it like it was yesterday! I loved that show and she was soo class-AAAA and southern proper which probably was another attraction!!!!! Truth be told... If I had run into her as a single man, she might have been able to cougar me (if I was that lucky, but she probably would have never taken a 2nd glance!), I just always loved her also! :ymblushing:

This was linked on the DBR this morning. Phenomenal. And the best explanation of Duke hate I've ever read.

I am sooo lonely! NO ONE online and ...., I feel the need to cook! I do that when I am trying to find comfort and peace! I made MY FIRST BBQ this past weekend that caught one on fire (because she was too sensitive and sweet) and several others very happy (so they said!) I brought them a sampling and they wanted to keep the rest of the BBQ because they loved it... I was honored to leave it with them, but now I guess I will eat my Mac-N-Cheese meal! Oh well, I have another pound of pork brisket to prepare and make less spicey!

MoBot pictures with my 60mm macro lens!

I had the white balance setting on my camera set to auto with a smidge of amber. You can REALLY tell it on the orange flowers. I need to remember not to do that next time. The color setting is on vivid, too. I'm really getting dangerous now that I'm learning how to adjust all these settings.

What VDB said. I liked it so much that I followed DukePA's lead and posted the link on my Facebook page. I've put up with a lot of smack talk from people back home who just don't get it. Maybe this article will help them get it. Not holding my breath, though.

We enjoyed our visit with CB& B-) this weekend. His dad's retirement party was very nice. To top the whole thing off, we met CB& B-) sister. She's a sweetie.

Thanks! I think I may have gone a bit overboard on the orangey red ones. Some of them hurt my eyes. Maybe it's because I took the shots late in the day and the sunlight is making the color more intense.

That sounds so dirty if taken out of context. ;) Yes, we did though. However, you fell of the face of the earth on me after that, and then I had toe surgery and my wife broke both her hands. My dad's supposed to have double knee replacement in a few weeks, and I'm moving in with them for 3 weeks to help out. My toe MIGHT be healed enough to do some light tennis after that, if you're still interested. You'll probably have more time on your hands now that your commute has been cut by about 95%, eh? :D

Good Morning, all. ~O)

Why is my clock on the site off by an hour again? I thought I fixed that a few months ago.
