Officials have agreed to correct spelling errors in road signs pointing to a central Massachusetts lake with a 45-letter name. Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in Webster has one of the world's longest place names. It's been spelled many different ways over the years. Some locals have given up and simply call it Lake Webster.

The name is longer than the lake. We used to drive by it. Revenge of the Pequots......

I learned today that a kiss, a simple kiss and taste of one's lover's tongue is an ohhhh-soooooo sweet sweet sweeeeeeeeeeeet momentous moment (even an erotic one) that we both have been craving for, waiting for, all week... I learned today that I am patient, and so is he, and we will see each other soon....and FUCK LIKE CRAZY MONKEYS!!!!

How fucking mushy is that? :oops: :P :shock:

It's Spring.

Thanks, Mozy, for telling me to check out the internet! You were right about babies and honey. Honey carries teeny tiny spores of botulism. Babies under a year old don't have the immune systems they need to fight the botulism spores. So, baby RJ will have to wait 6 more months (or maybe more). Glad you said something...
