Mary works out on the 60 FRWY near Diamond Bar and the days I go up to LA are hard. <br /><br />They could come up with something better with "Eagle Code" though.Patrick Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181637044657605057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-47696474474675662972012-02-02T08:18:20.184-08:002012-02-02T08:18:20.184-08:00What a scary situation for the boys....... and you...What a scary situation for the boys....... and you.<br /><br />Hope your head clears up in order for you to enjoy Sunday!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456146495326232257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-76768592743105964542012-02-02T08:12:06.566-08:002012-02-02T08:12:06.566-08:00Even without the extra 3 party crashers, you are a...Even without the extra 3 party crashers, you are a brave woman!

Get well soon.<br /><br />I'm sorry to say this but unfortunately there will always be haters of Duke. They keep winning and they will keep hating but that is more about there 1 every 15 year titles as opposed to Duke and their dominance.....haha!

Moms never babysit!!<br /><br />I have no idea about Raleigh or Durham but I like the idea of the poster :)<br /><br />And hope you feel awesome for Sunday. You get to do SO many races! Is that because where you live there are just so many options? Does racing help you focus your running more? I've actually never yet run a race, but there are also very few here to choose from.Annet and Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17905706922268957886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-36325560737606724232012-02-01T20:27:37.531-08:002012-02-01T20:27:37.531-08:00I'd totally say no.

I would choose to attribute it to they are asking just in case it's ok, not expecting that of course you'd be glad to host MORE children.<br /><br />We practice lockdowns on a regular basis at my school just for this type of situation. We've never had to use it, but as our principal has mentioned more than once, how many students have been injured by fires/tornadoes while at school as compared to how many have been hurt by an intruder? <br /><br />It's definitely scary, as is the fact that the guy was where you usually run. Last year when I did my 20 mile run, I was running alone from one city to another and ran through a kind of bad part of town. I actually ran through a worse part than planned bc I took a wrong turn. Later that week a woman was sexually assaulted on the "safer" street I'd planned to take. Risk is everywhere.<br /><br />That cartoon, I'm sorry, is hilarious. But it would be just as funny to me if you switched around the city names on it. :)Kate Geisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854561265520868538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284298186061040784.post-22908224550347448772012-02-01T19:31:57.644-08:002012-02-01T19:31:57.644-08:00Seriously rude parents to ask to bring a sibling.....Seriously rude parents to ask to bring a sibling...I know it's uncomfortable to say no, but DO IT ANYWAY!
