one bloody mary.... I've been hung over so few times that it's kind of a special moment for me when I can walk in at brunch and order a bloody mary.....I kind of feel like I'm in the movies.....you gotta keep the shades on, too, for dramatic effect.

....I'm with ya' Kent.....my kid just turned 5 (and is about to lose his first tooth). I still watch him in total amazement.....kids are WONDERFUL. Just don't get too attached to that baby....cause soon they're laughing about farts and spitting and saying "Damnit!" just the way you do..... Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

....yet another reason to never abolish benzos..... Peace~ Lscribblescribble Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

I learned more stuff off of those kid shows......remember this one.....try to get the tune right.... "We the peoplleeee In or der to form a more per fect u nion establish justice and ensure domestic tranquility...... pro vide for the common defense promote the general welfare a-nd secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our propsperity do ordaaaaain and esta-a-a-blish this Constitutioooon for the.....United States o-o-o-f A mer ri ca......fo-or the United States o-o-o-of A mer ri ca. I still have to sing it to remember it, though (I hate to admit) Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

LIRD! I had forgotten all of those dan quayle quotes.....I'm crying, I'm laughing so hard.....thanks for that. It's still hard for me to think that he wasn't just a big ol' TROLL! Just tooo ridiculous..... Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Congratulations!!!!!!!! That is so cool!!!!! Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

No doubt.....I think we're in a very critical period in our history right now, with these kind of decisions to make....our future is going to dramatically depend on decisions we make right now, as a society, many members of which have no idea what's at stake..... Reminds me (now this is REALLY off topic....) How about the Ralph Bashki flick "Wizards." I really like the movie, but it does take on a new twist these days....foresight on his part.... Anyway.....I meant to go to bed 2 hours ago.....guess I got sidetracked.... Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Yeah.....I know about PCR....but what I'm asking is this: once we can replicate an organism's DNA, the next step, it seems to me, would be to work towards being able to creat the stem cells....What do you think? This hasn't been accomplished, surely.... Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

But then think about this.....it won't be long before we can just MAKE the durn stem cells.... Using embryonic stem cells to grow human tissue is not going to be a long-lived prospect either way you look at it. I think our technology will take us beyond that in the fairly near future. DNA is just amino acids, sugars and phosphate, all of which are in plentiful supply. Now, when we're able to make stem cells from scratch, we won't have the need for cells of embryonic origin any more. Now THAT will be cloning....when we map a person's DNA and replicate it from hon-human resources.....from stuff that grows in the earth....and grow human tissue from that rather than from stem cells of embryonic origin. The ability to clone human tissue is not something that will come about as a result of using stem cells, and stem cell research does nothing to move technology any closer to being able to create DNA....but growing tissue from cloned cells will be useful for the same purposes as growing it from cells of embryonic origin. For the love of debate, I have to ask which you think is more ethical....(1) using embryonic cells for tissue replication or (2) manufacturing the DNA and creating stem cells. Both will be used for the same purposes..... Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

And there's always someone around to dispell the myths for the rest of us......I guess now you're gonna tell me there's not a Tooth Fairy! Peas and Quiet~ Lscribblescribble Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Damn....it won't let me vote twice.......so I'll just say it again.....RUN.....FAR......FAST.....FURIOUSLY.......be polite of course, and point out her counseling options.....if she's threatening suicide.....well, that ain't the greatest sign......DON'T LOOK BACK!!!!!

So does that mean you'll be driving down from Nebraska as well? Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Whoo hooo friickin HOOO! That's 2 of us.....and my friend Carey....(cool) ==8-0 Lindsey Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

billbooth.....gawd! "pitter patter" be still my heart.... Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

I LOVE you billbooth....(flapping them eyelashes "flap, flap, flap") Lscribblescribble Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

I'm thinking that most of the people who are up in arms about stem cell research don't know what the hell stem cells are! Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Them's some pretty impressive credentials ya' got there, billvon.... (flirting boldly) Peace~ Lscribblescribble Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Getting to jump after work.... Do you know that it's not even POSSIBLE to do that in Arkansas? Summer's coming....summer's coming.....summer's coming.....can't WAIT for summer......oh....and did I mention....that I have 3 MONTHS OFF!!!!! :) I hope I will get to meet some of you.... Like at the Beach Boogie at FloraBama? Anybody going? I was drunk there the night before I got married the first time....LIRD, LIRD...... And SURELY you all know by now that it is ILLEGAL for women to skydive in Florida on Sundays.... Guess I'll be landing on the Alabama side.... Thank GOD for Arkansas Sundays.....

You're such a TEASE! Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

The "religious debate" portion of my comment was not a key point....and it really has no bearing on what the rest of the post was about.....I understand both sides of that argument, and resolving that difference is going is definately going to be drawn out....and will have implications that in many ways define our society.....it's a very important issue, obviously. Short of the issue of embryonic existance as life or tissue.....my question is about how far-reaching the implications of Bush's plan will be, should it be realized. Would he like to ban ALL stem-cell research? Even research involved with stem cells of adults who consent to let science use their stem cells? That's where I'm going.... Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

I haven't read all the posts here, but as I skim through, the big religious debate is going on. If we back off of that a little bit....there's still the issue of stem cell research involving stem cells from live, usually grown, donors. I don't know how his proposal would affect research that is being done on non-embryonic stem cells.....anyone who's more informed than me want to address this? In fact, speaking of spinal cord, most recently, we learned that there are stem cells in the CNS that, throughout our lives, produce new, differentiated cells.... I realize that these stem cells are still, by far, more differentiated than embryonic stem cells.....but I'm just wondering where this line would be drawn if the Idiot (I will show respect by using a capital I.....or is it capitol......(as I speak of idiots)....) were to succeed on thwarting our scientific efforts..... sorry to blabber....

I asked Sunshine Factory to send me one with one of my orders a year or so ago.....they couldn't figure out what it was, either. I just decided to go on about my business without one..... Peace~ Lscribblescribble Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley

Maaaaan.....I am so afraid! I don't have mine back from the tax lady yet.....but despite having a small business and all the nifty write-offs that go along with it....and having a child.....the fact that I am a student translates into NO MONEY (no money no honey....) I think I might just scream if I have to come up with some chunk of cash right now..... BTW....I did make a B on that biochem exam! I think I'm gonna pull out a B in the class! Yippee!! It was kind of at the expense of physiology, and that one didn't go so well.....at least there was a good cushion....blah blah blah....suffering from SEVERE sleep deprivation......

I wear soft contacts, and I HAVE had a problem.....It sucks to land with no depth perception.... I always take an extra pair of contacts just in case..... Peace~ Lscribblescribble Eve was framed! http://home.earthlink.net/~linzwalley
