		<description>One more thing: with thesis you could change the width of the columns to suit your needs. I think that is pretty cool.</description>

		<description>LOL. Your comment cracked me up. You need to go participate in Unknown Mammi&#039;s &quot;I Comment Therefore I Am&quot; Meme. And thank you for agreeing that the red thing looks like testicles. 

p.s. Yes I did! Because I am self-hosted, I am not able to access the WP themes (without having to install the files on my server. Yeah, like that&#039;s going to happen...) So I was stuck with the one I was given. I do like my original one, but I have been looking for a cleaner look. So yesterday, like magic, Thesis appears on my dashboard next to the basic, blue heading/white everything else boring WP theme. I immediately changed it. I LOVE IT! It also comes with a lot of knobs, options, that you could tweak and change: font, size, color, etc. My original one does not let you change anything (unless you change the code, of course).  Thesis is so much more flexible, again, for someone who cannot write code. Short answer: I highly recommend it!</description>

		<description>Thank you for coming by my blog. It is really cute! My son&#039;s birthday is the day before Thanksgiving and lately he&#039;s been singing a turkey song. I may just take him there to get a stuffed turkey!</description>

		<description>Okay the cartoon turkey?  Totally eating his testicles and giving you a carving knife and fork. It&#039;s like...hey if you are going to eat me I will be damned if you get my balls, eat me...eat my balls.

On another note...NO HOLIDAY EVER!!! I mean EVER!!!! should be celebrated before another, only chaos will ensue!!!  (do you need me to use more exclamation points to get my point across? probably not)  I grew up with each holiday being decorated to the hilt! (apparently one more was necessary) Can you imagine how much more crazy we would look if while we had our tombstones up, that we also put out the reindeer and sled...hmmm, that would make you wonder about the whereabouts of Santa wouldn&#039;t it know.  Then we would have been known on the neighborhood as the family that put Santa in the incinerator.

P.S.  You changed to thesis. I have another site that I have thesis on that is for my design work...that I have done almost nothing with. Let me know if you like it.

		<description>Oh, I totally empathize with you... Like you, we put up absolutely no Christmas decorations until AFTER Thanksgiving. 

I&#039;ve noticed some stores are even putting up Christmas decorations BEFORE Halloween. It irritates me and makes me think about passively-aggressively knocking something down.
