Happy Birthday to you Julie, and many more.... 

Lime in Coconut, what a great combination for your birthday! 

Mr. Kemper, my 12th grade math teacher from Tennessee.  He hoisted me up by my shirt, and gave me the lecture about having "no shoes until he went to grade school".  This after my answer that "I could not afford to attend college", when he asked me.   He then threatened me with bodily harm, if I failed to submit an application to a college.  I did so, fearing his follow through, and when I took it to the Guidance Office, there was an envelope waiting, in it was a check from Mr. Kemper for the application fee.  I returned to visit him two years later, to discover that he had passed away from cancer.  RIP, Mr. Kemper...

Narrow down to what era, there were many, and from what country?

I wish I had the golden ticket answer for you Bob.  I think all have given great options, seems most think that you are under no obligation to invite her.  I know that you are damn if you do, damn if you don't.  I think that ultimately you will do what is correct for you, as only you live with the dynamics of this.  Good luck and best regards.

I am the "drone" of our hive...  I guess that makes my wife the "queen bee".

I do not think that I have been dwile flonkered, but if I have, I hope I enjoyed it! 

Anything like spandex or lycra only flatter a few!  The rest of us should be arrested for wearing it!!

"I told you that the Community Organizer would clinch the deal", and the fact that I am a black man, born in Kenya, What Morons"!  "...and then term two.....unbelievable".  "Lets let all of the illegals in and let them pillage as we have!" 

It may be some of his cousins from Kenya trying to get in on the bigger scam...
