I'm still searching my photo box for the one of me holding my infant twin sisters. Haven't found it yet but I did run across a few tidbits I thought were interesting and I'll be posting them in the coming days and weeks.
Anyone remember Wilson's? They were a department store that also had decent jewelry. They were later bought out by Service Merchandise but I liked Wilson's a lot more. We bought some rather plain gold wedding bands there because that was all we could afford. My canceled check is below. Mine was $200 and hers was $180. We still love them. Neither of us are all that big on jewelry. I don't wear watches, chains, or rings. Patsy only wears her wedding ring and her mother's engagement ring.
It says here the Steelers will get to Kurt Warner enough tomorrow to make a difference
... but I also hope I'm wrong. GO Cards.
Quote of the Day
Make a case for your ideas. Our country is in desperate straits right now and we need ideas. What we don't need is nasty rhetoric and useless noise. This doesn't help anyone get a job, keep a job, or feed their family. If there were ever a time to put the meanness behind us and focus on real dialogue and real solutions, this is the time.

Blog of the day here.
Quote from said blog: "My parents, apparently. They hated the movie. Not just hated but loathed. Despised. Shunned. Were obviously embarrassed to be the parents of a woman who thought "Arsenic and Old Lace" was a good movie."
I've decided to root for the Cards also, mainly because of the Larry Fitzgerald/Twin Cities connection. I'm not all that optimistic about their chances, but then I never figured on them getting this far.
Still have the check for your wedding rings? That's gotta be worth some blogosphere romantic brownie points. Seriously.
While I agree with the QOTD, it would be nice if that sentiment was valid all of the time and not just when the president happens to be someone one voted for.
I have no idea why that canceled check was in that old photo box but I must have had it out for something some years ago. We still have most or maybe even all of our canceled checks. Think I can get some brownie points with the plumber, the dentist, and the mortgage company? :)
I don't know Campbell Brown but I think she's a little naive if she thinks petty bickering and mean politics are going to go away. The side that is in plays defense and the side that's out plays offense. If you don't have the stomach for it, get out of the business. Divided America is probably not a bad thing. A united, mobilized America would probably make everyone nervous.
