			<description><![CDATA[ So, after being sniped for a set of OM that I really NEED, I have joined the thugs and registered with justsnipe.com.  The idea was repulsive to me when DD
suggested it, but dammit I need this stuff and don&#39;t need to spend money I don&#39;t have.  Now I just hope that my snipe price is high enough to win the
auction.

Anyone else snipe?

spirit.

My golden friend, T, age 46, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer earlier this year.  It had already spread to stomach.  Her 5 year survival rate is low.

T&#39;s father committed suicide in his early 30s because he had Hodgkins, which was not curable back then.

supposed to be an open adoption, but unlikely that niece will have a heck of a lot of contact with the boy.

I cannot say this around here, but I think it&#39;s for the best. I understand that her parents are very upset by this, but then... they could have adopted
him. I don&#39;t know why (don&#39;t want to know why) they choose... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My daughter does not like jewelry of any kind.  She will very occasionally wear a pair of small stud earrings (mostly for performances.)   She says it annoys
her and she doesn&#39;t see any reason to wear it.  I wear very little: a ring, watch and stud earrings, but I wear them everyday.  Daughter has so much gift
jewelry that is never worn, it&#39;s a sin.  It just sits there in her room.  Anyone else have girls who refuse to bedeck and bedazzle? ]]></description>

pupilometer thing that measured their eyes, and used that info when ordering the glasses.

Is that necessary?  4yod only had one pair of frames at the local place that fit her well, but I imagine that 6yod won&#39;t have that problem.  I have

for Andy, as expressed in our meetings.  Basically told her that our decision was not a reflection of her teaching.  Also asked her to gather DS&#39;s personal
items left in the classroom and take to the office for me to pick up.
