(Hot and steamy subject matter.) <BR/>If you want some christmas fun, give your pup a jujube. It'll keep him happy for at least 30 minutes, while you study the ingredients list on the package. It will be too late to extract the candy, however.

Unfortunately, now that I live in an apt, I just put all of that nutritious composting material in the green "compost" bin. But there is something empowering about being able to do it yourself.Passionate Eaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492203392706191554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-48923439879428949962008-12-20T19:01:00.000-08:002008-12-20T19:01:00.000-08:00i lovebut loveegg saladi think i'm making some ver...i love<BR/>but love<BR/>egg salad<BR/><BR/>i think i'm making some very soon<BR/>with olivesmichael, claudia and sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10466840130053606273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-68769074429092767512008-12-19T17:24:00.000-08:002008-12-19T17:24:00.000-08:00Morgan: It's so sad that your worms hated you.Morgan: It's so sad that your worms hated you.cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-63009383848583510072008-12-19T16:48:00.000-08:002008-12-19T16:48:00.000-08:00Cookie, I had one of those worm farms once, the wo...Cookie, I had one of those worm farms once, the worms kept running away!Ms Brown Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128283343279442537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-26020392938247423342008-12-19T09:58:00.000-08:002008-12-19T09:58:00.000-08:00Kailyn: You are most definitely the Egg Lady.
