Honey Bunny: A lovely memorial to her father-in-law
Gonna get some of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community bottled water.
The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux has their own convience store in Shakopee, I'm sure it will be a big hit there.
I'll be in Shakopee today, at another convience store, doing a fuel promotion from 11 until 1 today.
I've had it. It tastes like water.
You just killed my anticipation.
The Crooks family come by their name honestly.
The Rat unveiled. I always knew it was you, Rick.
How do you mean, Maz?
I like Andy Driscoll's commentary. There are many reasons I have not considered myself a Catholic since middle school. This is just one more item that confirms I made the right decision.
Looks like they had a doings anyway at the St. Joan
"After two inspiring readings celebrating the richness of diversity in gender, race, sexual orientation and color, friend of SJA, Ann Reed sang a beautiful song."
They called it a Prayer Service for Peace.
The Sunday before the Peace Prayer Service, Fr. Jim said that we were not going to be naughty, that we were going to obey the deal he negotiated with the chancellors office. It sounds like he did.
As a newbiw Twitter user, I have been wondering about those tinyurls, and how do I get them. Thanks, MNspeak.
@Bob: Go to http://tinyurl.com/ and enter the URL in question into the box labeled Enter a long URL to make tiny: Then press the "Make TinyURL" button and voila!
Also, if you use Firefox there's a TinyURL creator plugin that allows you to create one from whatever page you're visiting by right clicking in the address bar, or giving you a few other options under Tools.
There are also various other URL shortening services of varying reliability. My current favorite is is.gd. If you just paste a link into Twitter, assuming you haven't exceeded your character limit, sometimes it'll automatically make it a tinyurl for you (after you post it).
Sorry for your loss, HB. Saw the obit for your father-in-law in the paper today.
My Dad lost his last surviving (of three) brother this week, when word came that my Uncle Bill had died in a nursing home in Utah. William Moffitt was career Navy (a Chief Petty Officer) and lot of fun to be around. He will be cremated and his ashes scattered from a military vessel at sea to join with his lost shipmates from WW II and his beloved son Tommy, who died in Vietnam in 1969 and who also was buried at sea.
So long, Doggie Berg. Rest in peace, Uncle Bill.
Thank you so much to those of you who have sent condolences. Don Berg was an amazing, talented, loving man. I will miss him more than words can say.
For any of you who may have seen him play at any one of the many venues in or around the Twin Cities, you know that the Jazz community has lost someone great. Hopefully his music will live on.
I'm sorry for your loss, too, justpbob.
