My protest sign made the paper up here!
Edited on Fri Jul-18-08 10:20 AM by XemaSab
Mine's the one that said NO More Years, and I have to admit, it turned out better than I expected! :D

(And no, that's not me holding it.)

1. Nobody likes my sign?
Dammit, I was so worried it would look bad, and everybody said no it won't, and it didn't, and now nobody cares?

4. Hanging as well as I can. I have entered the uncomfortable
stage of pregnancy. But, really I can't complain! :) Glad to be breezing right through. No complications or anything.

5. And the heat's not getting you down?
One of my colleagues at my old company had twins right around the end of August, and BOY was she unhappy the last couple months.

But you gotta tell us when he or she is born, right? And post pictures? :D

9. The heat is almost unbearable. It is really
hard to cool down and stay cool. But I will definitely let all of you know when she is born. Her name is Bella Rose. :)

I remember that feeling well, my oldest daughter was born on August 14th. The heat was awful!

Good luck!

32. Oh Cool!
My daughter is a August 14th also. However it was in 1997 and one of the hottest summers we had. Very miserable!

6. Cool signs
Even cooler is the fact that someone was able to reverse-age Roger Waters.

The humor would be lost on the citizenry of Redding.

21. Nice sign, but where's your stick
can't have a protest sign that doesn't have a stick. How are you going to use it as a weapon, if the need arises. :evilgrin:

39. There was a protest here
on Saturday, part anti-Iraq and also pro Obama. The responses of the people seemed really positive judging from the ones who rode by and blew their horns and waved and some stopped and talked. Very few people acted nasty.
