wow! I agree with the pope!

Keen!

ROME (Reuters) – While perhaps not quite manna from heaven, some would at least claim it as a divine creation.
Pope John Paul, leader of the world’s one billion Roman Catholics, isn’t letting on how close it is to Godliness, but he still thinks pizza’s pretty good.

Wednesday, at his weekly general audience in front of 50,000 faithful in St Peter’s Square, the Pontiff gave thanks to 2,000 pizzamakers gathered in Rome from around the world to celebrate World Pizzamakers’ Day.

“We appreciate so much your professional work,” the 80-year-old Pope told the chefs drawn from as far afield as Australia, Spain, Japan and the United States, as well as Italy.

“I pray for your families and your particular profession,” he added.

The dough-rollers, who made a special marrow, yellow pepper and buffalo mozzarella pizza for the occasion (the colors of the Vatican flag), honored the Pontiff with an antique pizza oven, traditional plates and a decorated cutting board.

They then distributed 50,000 slices of the global delicacy — said to have been invented in Naples during the seventh century — to passers-by throughout the Eternal City.

political sb…

Every state has great measures you can vote on, but most people that tell you they understand them are either wrong or lying. The truth is, we can’t tell if modifying the tax bracket for elected seniors is a going to make us go bankrupt or win us a million dollars. We just want to check the box that keeps murder illegal and bikinis on our TV. We don’t really care about a tiny change to a trapping guideline for an animal we’ve never heard of. If a mountain man wants to trap a grizzly beaver, he can use a hot tub filled with poisoned donuts for all we care. All of the amendments that go over our heads explain why more people smoke feloniously illegal narcotics than vote (according to government statistics). In fact, the people that believe in Bigfoot finally outnumber the people that believe in voting. Eat that, George W. Bush.

*sniffle*

I think that I neglected to mention I’m catching a little cold.

stuffed up, coughing some, slight sore throat…got some popsicles at the grocery store to help with that. Otter pops! assorted colors.

Lime. Yummy.

**breaks into song, sore throat and all**

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another, she paid it for a lime.
She put the lime in the coconut, and drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, and drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut,
Called the doctor, woke him up, and said,
“Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?”

“Now let me get this straight;
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut,
called your doctor, woke him up, and said,
‘Doctor, ain’t there nothing I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?
I say, Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take,
I say, Doctor, to relieve this belly ache?’

You put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both down,
You put the lime in the coconut, you’re such a silly woman!
Put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning.”

you know….

I’ve been scanning a number of folk’s journals today that link to me…and either a great many of them don’t post often, or there’s something wrong with my browser today. Isis, moonmama, zendaisy and wordsmilth9 are the only folks I’m able to see… I guess I’ll log in later, and see if there’s any improvement before I ask support about it.

Ahh…

Sunday, and sense of fulfillment.

Got the apartment cleaned up, groceries, laundry all done. found a sock in my laundry when I got home…it is now a cat toy for newton. (all laundered and such, I tied it in a knot, and he chases it. he’s such a catdog. )

Going pumpkin carving tonight with the hippies…Maybe I should surf around and find some ideas for a design. Tillytollo’s 🙂 lantern was pretty spiffy. Maybe I’ll go for a peace sign or something not facial-based, but I doubt it.
