I'm in Maryland, a pretty state. It's nickname is America in Miniature because we have mountains and lakes to the west and beaches to the east.
In Baltimore, I would recommend the National Aquarium, a better then average aquarium.

disappointedA Freilach & Zisen Pesach
In case you want to 'read ahead' for Pesach ....
The Two-Minute Haggadah
A Passover service for the impatient.
By Michael Rubiner
Opening prayers:
Thanks, G-d, for creating wine. (Drink wine.)
Thanks for creating produce. (Eat parsley.)
Overview:
Once we were slaves in Egypt. Now we're free. That's why we're
doing this.
Four questions:
1. What's up with the matzoh?
2. What's the deal with horseradish?
3. What's with the dipping of the herbs?
4. What's this whole slouching at the table business?
Answers:
1. When we left Egypt, we were in a hurry. There was no time for
making decent bread.
2. Life was bitter, like horseradish.
3. It's called symbolism.
4. Free people get to slouch.
A funny story:
Once, these five rabbis talked all night, then it was
morning. (Heat soup now.)
The four kinds of children and how to deal with them:
Wise child-explain Passover.
Simple child-explain Passover slowly.
Silent child-explain Passover loudly.
Wicked child-browbeat in front of the relatives.
Speaking of children:
We hid some matzoh. Whoever finds it gets five bucks.
The story of Passover:
It's a long time ago. We're slaves in Egypt. Pharaoh is a
nightmare. We cry out for help. G-d brings plagues upon the
Egyptians. We escape, bake some matzoh. G-d parts the Red
Sea. We make it through; the Egyptians aren't so lucky.
We wander 40 years in the desert, eat manna, get the Torah,
wind up in Israel, get a new temple, enjoy several
years without being persecuted again. (Let brisket cool now.)
The 10 Plagues:
Blood, Frogs, Lice-you name it.
The singing of "Dayenu":
If G-d had gotten us out of Egypt and not punished our enemies,
it would've been enough.
If he'd punished our enemies and not parted the Red Sea, if
would've been enough.
If he'd parted the Red Sea-(Remove gefilte fish from
refrigerator now.)
Eat matzoh. Drink more wine. Slouch.
Thanks again, G-d, for everything.
SERVE MEAL!

Actually, all countries make good and bad junk. I can remember back in the days when Americans made junk. It was good and bad. So, I don't understand the fuss. In a way, you can't have the good without the bad. It shows that all people are human.
I only buy Italian myself.

Ms Clinton. Today was our primary, so I marched through the snow (small amount but slippery) and gave her my vote. She won't win, but I don't mind. There's always a vagina in the White House, but its either the Mrs or the partner for the evening. I wanted one with power. I would have said women by the way. But there was always a chance that of one our presidents in the past dressed up like one when no one was looking.
I did better then my husband. Typical of him, He made himself a Libertarian He politely asked if anyone of his persusion was running. They told him no. The voting volunteers looked appaled at the very idea. What do you expect of a politcal party only formed in 1971? That man has some strange ideas.

Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands
HEMA also has stores in Belgium, Luxemburg, and Germany
In June of this year, HEMA was sold to British investment company Lion Capital.
Take a look at HEMA's product page.
You can't order anything and it's in Dutch but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens

For the past 2 days, I have not been able to access Google mail using my usual browser, Internet Explorer. All I get is a white blank sheet. I have no clue why. If I switch to Firefox or Netscape, I can access it. I use gmail for Live Journal responses.
Anyone know why? Anyone have this problem? (Sigh...I hate to switch browsers)

Thats what Dr. Galligher told me. My cut still stings a bit. The aches are subsiding. My cut is clean, the one part of me that is. Before my trip to the doctor, I had not bathed in two days. I prayed my deodorant would hold out. I hurt too much to shower and my hair is matted with dried blood and proxidede. Yay...he didn't have to shave my hair.
Ah....better now. I took a shower and combed out the dried blood. I can't get my cut wet for a few more days. So I'm shooting for this weekend to wash my hair. At least I can comb it now.. I'm not as blonde as I feared before, but a bit tiny bit lighter at the back of my head. I got a Rx for the pain and the something to keep the cut clean.
Dr. Galligher is quite a doctor. I inherited him when I married my husband. All the Shapiros go to the Dr. Lawrence Gallighers Unwritten law. All internists, all four of them. Starting from the 1st Dr. Galligher in the early part of the 20th century. Mine is Lawrence the 4th. My husband suggested we put up the baby gate at the steps. I'm sure that is one of his little jokes.
Thank you all for your concern.

Back track to New Year's eve. My husband brought home a $48.00 bottle of French champaigne. It tasted as good as it cost. I am 5'3" and 110 lbs. That went out the window with the champaigne. Needless to say, I was feeling that alcohol. I remember going back to bed about 2:00AM. I got up about 4:00AM reeling with a hangover. At some point after I left the bathroom I either, tripped, lost my balance, etc. Anyway I woke up my husband and son with a series of thumping noices down the steps. I came to with my husband inches away from 911 and my son asking me if I was OK.
To the point, I have an inch long gash at the back of my head, and ache from head to toe on one side of my body. My husband put peroxide on my cut. Now I'm suddenly a partial blonde. . Nothing broken, but I going to see the doctor tomorrow. The scary part, if I didn't hit the edge of the wall before I went down the steps, I would have broken my neck and or killed.

On the reading front....just finished Water for Elephents. Fantastic, though I did kind of cry at the end. Next up is 13 Steps Down by Ruth Rendel. Love her.
Have lost interest in Star Wars fiction. Don't know why.....I just don't. I have since discovered HP fan fiction. They range from God awful to wonderful. My favorute so far Harry Potter an the nightmares of futures past. Plot not original...but who cares...love it. I think the only Han/Leia I'll read is from Ivylore. Hope she updates her site.
