		<description>It felt great to find the time to write again.  Happy New Year!!!!

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Hey, Tony!!  Nice to have you visit again!  I'm glad you're back to blogging, even if sporadically.  I can't see you on stage (yet- but you just wait), so I depend on the laughs your occasional posts afford me.  You crack me right up (yeah, like I need more "cracks"- LOL!).&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>It's all a plot! Or too much head shaking.  It all looks like fun though, at least from this distance.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Right on - another Conspiracy Theorist!  Dale, I should have known.

It's fun from close up, too, actually - although I have to grow accustomed to my brain sliding around inside my skull...&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>I need to get me one of those but mine has to be less pretty too.  Just because...;)

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  One of the Half-a-Nannies just "did" my hair.  I don't "do" my hair.  She took 10 years off me, I swear to God.

In other words, even if she uglied up, you can't have her.  Mine, mine, mine.  Forever.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>I want one.  But mine needs to be less pretty or a boy because I have an 11 year-old boy in the house and he's got hormones and I don't want drool all over the floor.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Are you kidding me?!  You think what you have in your house is HORMONES?!  In comparison to TWO FEMALE TEENAGED HALF-A-NANNIES?!  I will trade you both for the boy.  I may lose my Nanny, but I could probably afford to rent two REAL Nannies with the savings...  and then there's the "no angst" factor.  Yeah, send him up, Aimee.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Well, that sounds like you're gettin' a great deal there. I could use one of them myself sometimes.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Tell ya what, Hairy... if she starts to piss me off, I'll sell her to you.  FedEx will ship kids, right?&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Damn dear, you look like a teenager to me!  I love a mature wine.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Even though I know how flattering a dim room can be, I am still thrilling at the compliment, Mushy!  Thank you, sincerely.  :-D&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>I have a Hummingbird-aged person living here, but she needs a nanny of her own. I'd be happy if she could just keep the parmesan cheese off the furniture and the bathroom walls free of makeup smudge.


&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Apparently, that phenomenon only manifests itself under the roof of "Real Mom".  "Fake Mom" somehow magically imparts the ability to act less "teenagery".
&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>Oh, you and your nannified butt need to get down here now! Do you think these two could handle a few hours with a wild impetuous eight year old? Guitar Hero &#38; Star Wars Xbox will be played, and we can go wreak havoc and write stuff about stuff, and I'll even cook meals with dishwasher loading nanny help!

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Handle an eight-year-old of ANY ilk?!  These two have it in the bag - they handle ME, don't they?!

We'll have to shut the power off to make them see food, though, if Wii and/or Xbox will be involved.

DISHWASHER?!  You'll spoil my slaves, Elle, Jeez!&lt;/em&gt;</description>
