    He was supposed to have a quit claim deed to sign in September. I tried to be nice but I'm tired of living like a squatter on these cement floors and putting up with leaky windows. What he did with the insurance money from the flood I don't know.

    I just got fed up (and I have the money to pay a lawyer now )

    Progress! I love to hear that everyone's making progress--Fredwina. Snap. Zen. Forward motion...good.

    And yup. Little kids are the best. It's why I still do my stressful job--I really like those kids. They think everything's interesting. Kids always love seeing our tandem go by. Although come to think of it, most adults do too. There's something about a tandem that just makes people smile.

    Snap- Your signature makes me happy, it makes me laugh. Little kids usually see us for our strengths and love us. I love kids my nieces think I rule the world and am the most beautiful woman alive, they are brilliant.

    Kids are completely in love with bikes and motorcycles. I like that.

    I had to do an "I'm thanksful" turkey for work. I am thankful for my family's health, end of Aggie football season, carbon fiber and sunny days with no wind. They won't get it.

    good morning everyone. I am having 15 more minutes of fame today. I posted a painting I did on a political forum today, and everyone loved it.

    I am beside myself. I couldn't sleep last night. And all because I wanted a picture to hang up in my office of the next president!

    Mimi, I don't think you'll offend anyone if you post a link! I'd love to see your painting.

    LOL- I don't have kids! But we might have one someday. My parents would probably like a grandkid even though they say they don't care and my big brother is divorced and not dating so it is my burden. My husband's brother and step siblings are filling his parent's homes with plenty of grandkids but his grandmother wants one from our house. Doh!

    Mimi- Your work is beautiful! Giusseppe looks like an old friend we had. He loved to cook and talk. He died last fall, all the world lost a friend.

    Not exactly . And a recent article said they are wrestling his blackberry from him. As president he can't be online.

    That's why I'm not running Can't access TE from the Oval office, yeah right.

    go to http://www.change.gov

    In the middle of the page you see "American Moment"? Click there and is a space "share your story" and or "share your vision"

    Looks like as nice a spot as any to share your hopes and dreams, and how his victory inspires you're art and us all.

    I'd imagine you might find it here someplace.

    I have him as a friend on Twitter. Want me to ask him?

    Update: OK, I did ask him on twitter. Maybe one of his 'handlers' will see it and like it and pass it along? Good luck!
