We've Got a Pill for ED But Is There Hope for Folks with PD?

PD: Personality Dysfunction

A common personality problem for men and women characterized by the consistent inability to communicate effectively or interestingly or the inability to "bring anything to the table" during an existing conversation and kill it, or both. Personality dysfuction can vary. It can involve a total inability to have anything to say, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only very brief, awkward conversations. Personality dysfunction is also called "annoying."

Save the Dates: Mortified

Doodle's 9 Lives and Beyond 9th Birthday BLOWGANZA in Vermont!

dOODLE, nYc
7/24/08


Holy crap! Big news, kids, big news! In all the excitement over Doodle Goes to Camp I've completely forgotten to tell you that Doodle's turning 9--count 'em 9-- on Thursday, August 7 in Vermont. If you've been wondering what to get the little scamp who has everything for her 9th birthday, I encourage you to make a generous $1 donation to Doodle's Vermont Photography Project (see sidebar at right) on or before August 1. We've raised $21.43 so far towards her $60 customized cat camera which Mr. Lee said he'd ship in time for her vacation. Every lil' bit counts and Doodle and I thank you in advance for your support.

Keith Walendowski: Another One of Anne's Heroes

"Keith Walendowski is accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start. According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski said 'I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."
I Can Do That

Filmed a movie last night on my roof and the roof next door. I'm hoping its a romantic comedy starring a buried treasure hunting, shirtless Matthew McConaughey and your mother.
