18 Nov 07 - 12:41 PM (#2196809) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Rita (Ferrara) From: Severn As a long-time Rita-Rooter, I could Rita n'occaiasional official pronouncement declaring a couple of Days in your honor, but then they're always that way at home, in Gail Force. I could sing a Ferr-aria in your praises, if it were in a range I was at home on. Instead, I'll wish you a Good Year, with a tread guarantee wherever you may set foot, starting from this glorious day, and be glad you don't have to spend your birthday weekend car hunting this year. |

18 Nov 07 - 01:56 PM (#2196885) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Rita (Ferrara) From: Ferrara Gosh there's no present nicer than getting kind words and warm wishes on one's birthday. Love you all, Rita PS Severn, you take the virtual cake. pps For the curious: We totalled our car last year (with Andrew & Carole as passengers, too!) two days after the Getaway. Didn't find another one until after Christmas. The "new" one, an '02 Taurus wagon, is holding up fine. It took us to St. Louis MO in comfort which is about the longest trip we've taken since we got married. |

And, while I am ahead, the year after that, too!! This also makes it possible for you to use this thread again in '08, which will please Joe Offer and make President Obama proud of you. A |

Maybe we could do "Will There Be Any Stars In My Crown?"--among others? And any chance for "The Bold Fisherman"?--(though I know it's, strictly speaking, not your department)--or have I already missed my chance? |

22 Nov 07 - 10:02 AM (#2199901) Subject: RE: BS: Happy Birthday Rita (Ferrara) From: Ron Davies Sorry, Trubrit, a fair number of us disagree on Clinton. It's President Obama--to finally make progress in the US. Clinton's constant dodging and weaving does not inspire confidence. And we're rapidly slipping into egregious thread creep here. |
