    I struggled with listing either the Broncos or Elway, but I thought the Raiders and T.O. were enough for football.

    By the way, that's "tennis shoes" for those keeping score at home.

    PS: I'm still freaked out over your brown recluse. I'm thinking about finding some of those sticky pads just in case.

    If God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, then why the hell didn't he get rid of brown recluse spiders?

    Gadfly, don't forget black widows (like you could forget!). Or water moccasins-those are some nasty f-ers.

    Love the list. I got one.
    People with 0 children, trying to tell you how to raise yours.

    Or just as good, people with one kid claiming they know all about raising every kid. Man, I had no idea how different every kid would be.

    Yeppers. But, I said lots of things that "my children will never do" when I'm a parent.

    Ha. They've done all of them and then some. Kids have a way of making us make asses of ourselves and eat our own words.
