I coulda sent you a bunch from our last place. It was a hedge between yards, and kept sneaking over and popping up in the vegetable garden.

Hey, did you know this neat fact about bamboo? If you take shoots from one plant, plant them in different places around the world, when the main plant dies of old age, all the rest of the plants started from it will die too, no matter where on earth they are. Neat, eh? :D

All straws have been replaced with bamboo. :)

Thank you, sir. For that you get a bottle of 151 and a VERY large straw!

I think I will slide in here tonight. I've had a bad day :(

I made my last car payment last week (even got a refund for an over payment). Today .. some stupid woman driving in the break down lane the wrong way, on the wrong side of the road smashed right into me (I was making a right (legal) turn). It looks like the frame could be bent on my beautiful Z28 Camaro. I am crying .. but the good news .. my daughter and I are injury free .. air bags didn't deploy but that's ok .. we are fine. Still .. I've had this car for 5 years, no dings, dents, scratches .. it WAS in perfect condition with 29k miles on it!!! Grrrrr stupid drivers make me crazy!! Even the police were shaking their heads at her when she commented that I was not paying attention to her driving on the wrong side of the road in the break down lane in the wrong direction!! HELLO! Ok .. I'll sip my wine quietly now. Thanks for listening.

08/22/2007 12:15:29 AM · #1589

It is a 2000 .. navy metallic paint, black leather with a black convertible top.. all upgraded to the finest stuff.. just mint condition .. but not anymore :( I almost cried .. but I was too angry!

08/22/2007 12:17:31 AM · #1590

What WAS she doing there, anyway??? Enquiring minds want to know...

08/22/2007 12:26:19 AM · #1591

She was leaving the tire place next door .. she wanted to get gas (which I had just done) and didn't want to get in the left hand turn lane like she should have and decided the break down lane (on the wrong side of the road) was the easier turn! I was being nice .. but the officers could see that every time she spoke her stupidness I was getting more aggravated so asked me to wait in my car. The officers felt so bad for my daughter and I .. they wanted to take her to the hospital just to be sure she was ok. She is really fine, despite it being a sports car it took the impact well and we really felt very little of it (coke got spilled, books flew but we remained in our seat belts just fine).

08/22/2007 12:32:21 AM · #1592

That's totally insane :(

08/22/2007 12:36:31 AM · #1593

I'm just sick over it .. I've babied this car for 5 years .. keeping low miles and parking in the boonies to prevent dents and scratches .. and she comes out of no where 1 week after it is paid off :(

Where's Art? I think a village-burning is in order!

08/22/2007 12:51:00 AM · #1595

Art where are you! I need a village burned! I just want to cry again! Hubby says IF they fix it we are going to sell it and get another SUV .. I like my sexy car!! (I'll get a Hummer and be sexy .. I hope) .. I love my car and that woman ruined it! Ok ... I do keep telling myself we are fine, no injuries, no ambulances .. but still!
