Wait,

You can make dumplins with BISQUIK. I thought that was pankcake mix. I have so much to learn.

Girl you need to try new things. Explore other foods.

I just check and Obama lost the state of Missouri by only 5,868 votes!

That is AMAZING!

Oh, he did lose Missouri? Interesting. I thought it would be close here. Wherever I go, it seemed to be an equal number of yard signs competing.

I admit that today I hate the JA embassy in D.C.

Hey, Dillion. Did you hear St. Louis City was something like 80% (85%?) Oboma?

Yes I did hear that and the county was 59% which is pretty good too.

Is the embassy still having issues with Andre's picture?

There is this teeny tiny glare on his forehead they are having issues with. They sent us this 3 page sheet to explain that and about a billion other regulations we followed to the "t". The very end of this letter says he must call before he has his pictures retaken. So, he called today and the gal just got back to him. She pretty much read all the regulations off the sheet and made him write them down. At the end, he said, what else did we do wrong. She says, oh, nothing, just the glare.

Why is everything so frustrating with this process?

And, I kid you not, the glare is teeny tiny and does not obscure a darn thing. I guess I am going to have to powder down his bald forehead tomorrow before we do it again!

Andre thinks he has this black cloud over his head in anything that has to do with paperwork.

I think they wanted to hear his voice to verify he really is Jamaican. That's just a guess, though.

And, the only other person I know of who did this passport renewal from here, also had her pictures sent back. Her's was because they were Walgreens. Today, they said they only accept Sears pictures. Crazy!

I am going to have to make a note of that. Cazy is right.

Hey SOl, wha gwaan girl?

Morning all!

I am way way too lazy to go back and quote all the posts this am, lol -

So, first off - I am so happy to hear JALove is doing better! I have been so worried - if the doctors did screw up, I would be quickly finding a good malpractice attorney!

Second - Yeah, Obama! I am so happy - Although I have to give it to McCain in his speech - he was very gracious, and did a good job with the heckler who booed Obama, telling him that Obama was his Pres. elect. Our polls closed at 8 pm - as long as you were in line by 8, you got to vote - they marked the line off at 8 pm by a police officer. I had a dr. appt and went to the gym then to vote - it was great to see - people were letting elderly people cut in front of them so that they didn't have to stand so long.

Third, on the religion thing - It doesn't matter to me - I guess I am just used to it - I grew up in a family where my Mom is Protestant, my Dad was Catholic - we were raised Protestant, but always given the option to go to Church with Dad, and probably choose if we had wanted to - My grandparents had the same, and my grandfather became Protestant - My sister and brother in law are the same as well, and my Brother in law has now joined our church. I think as long as you respect each other's beliefs it can work - It's interesting really, bc both my parents and grandparents had issues with relatives when they got married - people (including my grandparents) refused to go to the wedding bc they weren't getting married in the Catholic Church, or bc they were marrying outside their religion - It was a real point for me with my family - because I have the racial issue, and in a huge argument one day I threw it at my father about how did he like it when his father wouldn't recognize his marriage? He just stopped and shut up -

Finally, for this am's book, lol - DJ went to the eye specialist yesterday - he still has some blood spots in the back of his eye, but the dr. thinks he will get at least 95% of his vision back without surgery!

It is possible he will get it all back. My son had blood behind his eyes from a lot of head trauma he recieved and it cleared up as well without surgery.
