This isn't a set up for a joke. My mother, ever ready to pick up any stray for a holiday meal, invited a Roman Catholic priest visiting from Uganda to Thanksgiving.

If she spent much of her free time celebrating, participating in, and reading about her god and her religion, and if a large part of her community life has involved her religion, where does she turn ...

Mr.P.:Quote:Rick Santorum is gone too...dont forget that!We're dancing in the streets here in Philly. It's hard to beat out Pennsyltucky (that part of Pennsylvania between Philly and Pittsburgh) sometimes, but Santorum lost by 18%. Did you see his concession speech?

Chris, I'm going to use you as inspiration to shed the extra pounds I've been carrying around the past couple months. Also, although a lot of the thinking goes against weighing yourself everyday, I've read of those who think it beneficial. I can't give you any citations, but the common argument for ...
