19. Yeah, I don't post a whole lot.

I'm more of a lurker. But thanks anyway.:)

I'm dry, but my street's starting to flood. As long as the power stays on, it's all good.

[SallyMander]

20. You're welcome!

So far so good with the power here... but if this rain keeps up, the whole neighborhood is going to smell like you-know-what because the sewer system sucks. x(

Not that she needed one but in view of the offensive posts we endured during these Primaries, I can't think of a nicer house for her to come visit her grandson ;)

[SallyMander]

38. LOL!

Yeah, that one ought to be just fine! :D

[SeattleGirl]

40. I am very proud of him, too, and of every single one of us who

donated or phone banked or went door to door, or did whatever it was they did!

I can't WAIT to vote for him in November!

(I just hope they fumigate the place before they move in. :) )

[SallyMander]

43. Absolutely right on all counts!

Everyone that was out there working - in any capacity, for any Dem - deserves major kudos! :applause:

But we'll have to think about how to restore the good karma to the White House... :think:
