My father died from the type of cancer that has Ted Kennedy in its grip; dad's earliest symptom was progressive loss of vision on one side. We first noticed it when he kept getting lost while driving -- he was someone who was always a consummate driver, good with details, an innate sense of direction, and a map of where he was going in his head. Yet he began missing highway signs, exits, and other visual cues without being consciously aware of what was going on. It made him confused, upset, and argumentative with my mom until they figured out what was wrong.)<BR/><BR/>So here's a suggestion for those of you who are so quick with the put-downs and the assumed moral superiority: think twice the next time your'e tempted to spew such wretched nonsense.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617552481519890045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-59099283464091151482008-07-24T08:20:00.000-05:002008-07-24T08:20:00.000-05:00Victoria won the thread very early--no matter who ...Victoria won the thread very early--no matter who does it--and it isnt the hit; its the run.

He's missed out on all the preseason conditioning so our oppressive heat and humidity will keep him in docile submission for awhile. But once he realizes Marques Colsten is the go-to guy, I expect he's going to start up with the offended "Hey, I was open!" gestures at Drew Brees. Brees will smack him down pretty quickly, though.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774002797359859550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-67004360960863226582008-07-23T23:11:00.000-05:002008-07-23T23:11:00.000-05:00Well, it's funny to me.
