“The giant panda cub at the San Diego Zoo finally has a name. Staff announced during a ceremony at the zoo Tuesday (Nov. 13.) that they’re calling him Xiao Liwu, or ‘Little Gift.’ "
“The full-bellied furball was born on July 29, but in keeping with a Chinese panda-naming tradition, zookeepers waited to name him until he was at least 100 days old.”
“In a public vote, with nearly 35,000 votes cast, Xiao Liwu beat out five other name suggestions, including Qi Ji (Miracle), Yu Di (Raindrop), Da Hai (Big Ocean or Big Sea), Yong Er (Brave Son) and Shui Long (Water Dragon).”
Incidentally, Stel ol’ Bel. I’m moving today and I need some help. My car’s all packed.now, if you can bring your Dodge Caravan (and Ernie) , we can start filling that up.this shouldn’t take long *’*famous last words
The last time that I moved it meant 8 weeks of Garage sales and 8 weeks up dumpster pick ups. If I moved again it would involve at least the same such measures.
sometimes getting mom to bed is easy.tonight, not.she was so tired she had a hard time standing.: (i got it done.(sigh)on the up side, she will sleep god tonight.
That’s okay happy! Sounds like your mom enjoyed the soup! I’ll come by tmr. with a few meals for you two! WISH I COULD MY FRIEND! IN REAL TIME! I would be more than glad to do so!
happy, you West Coasters have an advantage over us East Coasters! I have the same problem with cleo, JFri, and Marg! You are 3 hours behind us, and I need whatever sleep I can get! I hope you have a GREAT night, dude! Truly! :-) You have earned more than one!
