seriously what do you guys do that you are allowed to see cloning results? I find the whole subject interesting. I haven't formed a total opinion on the subject yet.
I am leaning toward stem cell research for human deseases (being diabetic might have something to do with that)But not sure as that conflicts with my stand on abortions(not starting a debate!!!)

Hey, I was only at the conference as a Guest of Laurie's. You'd better ask Laurie about her job description.

The Conference is a yearly one that's put on by AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) and this year it happened to be in Seattle. The general public is allowed to go (for a fee I think) and there are information booths and all kinds of science education booths for children. The cloned mules were in a section of their own, but I'm not sure who sponsored by.

Check this out: http://www.aaas.org/meetings/

There were all kinds of seminars as well. I was only there for 1 night so did not get to attend much, but what I saw was very interesting.

I'm sure when Laurie logs on she can tell you more. I may not have all the facts straight

That is so cool ref cloned mules! Too bad you didn't get to pet them. Did you get pics? I'll get to read my response from Ebay when I get home. I was one of the ones that reported it. Will be interesting to see what happened. Oh, they might not tell me. Hey, today is my Monday and Friday! I took tomorrow off so I have a 4 day weekend! So, give me a double of whatever you've got. I'm ready to celebrate. Got about 45 more minutes of work left.

Well I think I'll take one for the road, a nice cold beer will do. I am going to an auction! LOL, hope there is nothing like what was on ebay there!! ewwweeeeee!

Be sure to let us know what ebay had to say about THAT auction. I think it would be very interesting to know what was really going on.

Slick, sounds like you and Laurie had a blast! I am so jealous. Did you really stick a shrimp in your ear?? What a woman!!

Take care of Mario for me, make him be good. Give him a beer and he should be a pretty good boy. Your going to have to tell me about the other Mario...

Ok thanks, Laurie!!!!!!!!!! nosey minds want to know.
Willie , have fun at the auction. I love them miss the one we used to have weekly, they closed. I'll keep an eye on the little man , here's being a good little gentleman to day.

[G.P.girl]

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Of course! *hehe*

[G.P.girl]

haha
can i have a smoothie too? please?

[trayi52]

Well I am back, didn't see anything at that auction I wanted. So I guess I'll take a giant sized beer!

Oh by the way dukedogsmom, I went on ebay and done a search on buy-polar and she still has her lovely teapot for sale. She is also offering to break up with your boyfriend, or quit your job for you!

BREAK UP/ QUIT JOB SERVICE
...that's where I come in. I will politely (or psychotically -- your choice) break up for you. I will phone your boyfriend, disguising my voice like yours, or muffling it through tube sock. Then I "pull the trigger" on him while you're out clubbing it!!! Isn't that great? I will also quit jobs for you; any job. I have VAST personal experience in this area. NOTE: Quitting jobs with no notice will be subject to a small premium. I usually like to offer one or two weeks, but again, the choice is yours! Please contact with questions or concerns.

She is still using the same picture too! Wow!

Okay, where my beer??

[mahayana]

Hey, guys!

Now you've got "Margaritaville" playing over and over in my head...we should fix that jukebox!

(xylophone intro)

"Livin' on spongecake...watchin' the sun bake...all of the tourists, all covered with oil...

"Blew out my flip-flop...stepped on a pop-top...

"But there's juice in the blender...soon it will render...that frozen concoction that helps me hang on...Wastin' away again..."

(kicks jukebox)

"I was drunk...the day my mom...got out of prison...and I went...to pick her up...in the rain...

"but before I could get to the station in my...pick-up truck...she got runned over by a damned old train..."

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hey everybody - WAKE UP!!!! It's Friday!!!

And....are you ready.....it's my birthday!!! Yep, 42 years ago right about this time my mom was swearing she was never going to let my dad touch her again!

They tell me my older brother (2 years older) hid under the bed when they brought me home from the hospital. Guess I scared him.

I think I've had enough margaritas for one week, so lets see....what other kind of drink do I like....I'm giving up Coke for good and today's my first day without so I'm dying for one of those, but I'll take a pass.

Hmmm..oh I know, how 'bout one of those cherry lime aids that MOFF is always drinking? That sounds good to start the day off with. We'll get to the hard stuff later....

And Mario's been such a good little monkey this week that I think he deserves a beer too.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

And you know, just as I was clicking out of this thread, I realized that the title of the thread is 42! Richard, you're a genius!

[Corinna]

I guess thats what we get for being open after hours
I'm doing the worried mom thing today. The boy is off on an adventure (first one alone in his new truck ) taking brother in law to the doc. and his buddy with hiim in to thebig city.Why is it hso hard to let go!!! I know hes 20 but hes the one that almost died twice and has a slower learning pace so hes about even with his 17year old buddy. The buddy just came back from Montana youth challange(pre boot camp for kids having trouble in reg school , he did so well that he can pass boot camp in the summer and go right into the navy or marines (he wants to fly jets)
I think I need a rum and dt coke today.
