The error was so egregious that Buckner became vilified by the team's fan base and he was forced to leave the state of Massachusetts. Twenty-two years later, Buckner returned to Boston to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the 2008 season and received a four-minute standing ovation from the remorseful Fenway Park crowd. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/38680#post-686439 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 10:46:17 +0000 jeankit 686439@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hmm, more new trivia to enjoy today as Perigean Springs on Mule Day with Diwali celebration along with mincemeat pie if you so choose!

(The Hornet sank early the next morning.)<br /> In 1958, Pan American Airways flew its first Boeing 707 jetliner from New York to Paris in 8 hours and 41 minutes.<br /> In 1972, national security adviser Henry Kissinger declared, "Peace is at hand" in Vietnam.<br /> In 1979, South Korean President Park Chung-hee was shot to death during a dinner party along with his chief bodyguard by the head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, Kim Jae-kyu, who was later executed.<br /> In 1980, Israeli President Yitzhak Navon became the first Israeli head of state to visit Egypt.<br /> In 1994, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel and Prime Minister Abdel Salam Majali of Jordan signed a peace treaty during a ceremony at the Israeli-Jordanian border attended by President Bill Clinton.<br /> Ten years ago: President George W. Bush signed the USA PATRIOT Act, giving authorities unprecedented ability to search, seize, detain or eavesdrop in their pursuit of possible terrorists. Former nurse's aide Chante Mallard struck a homeless man, Gregory Biggs, with her car on a Fort Worth, Texas, highway; Biggs, who became lodged in the windshield, died after Mallard refused to seek assistance for him and instead enlisted the help of a friend and his cousin to dispose of his body after he died. (Mallard was later convicted of murder and sentenced to 50 years in prison.)<br /> Five years ago: A wildfire in Southern California killed five firefighters (investigators later determined the cause of the blaze was arson). President George W. Bush signed a measure authorizing 700 miles of new fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border. The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Detroit Tigers 5-4 to take a 3-1 lead in the World Series.<br /> One year ago: Saddam Hussein's foreign minister, Tariq Aziz, was sentenced to death for persecuting members of Shiite religious parties under the former regime. (The sentence has yet to be carried out.) Iran began loading fuel into the core of its first nuclear power plant. A day after an earthquake sparked a deadly tsunami, Indonesia saw another natural disaster as Mount Merapi (meh-RAH'-pee) began erupting, resulting in hundreds of deaths in the weeks that followed.</p> <p>Today's Birthdays: Former Sen.

They are good guys but when I was told no it wasn't repairable because there was a nail deeply embedded (2nd one in a year because of all the flipping construction on the streets here) I left almost $400 later with two brand new tires.

I was worried about my fellow ginger-being. Ouch to the bill but that's what emergency funds are for.<br /> FH, got to laugh at you and sister arriving at liquor store at same time! Do we need an intervention? The cream does sound rather tasty though. Squirt some through the wormhole - and I think Kilroy and Joan need a double dose on their hot chocolates today. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/38642/page/2#post-685979 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:04:59 +0000 FondaHonda 685979@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Speaking of whipped cream, has anyone else tried the liquor infused whipping cream? YES, I SAID LIQUOR INFUSED WHIPPING CREAM!!! My sister (she's older, so she IS supposed to be a bad influence on me!) mentioned it Saturday morning at breakfast, so I immediately headed to the liquor store. Lo and behold, she pulled in right in back of me. So, I left there with vanilla and raspberry flavored. IT'S STRONG STUFF!!! I'm thinking the raspberry will be great in a cup of hot cocoa! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/38642/page/2#post-685977 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 15:00:05 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 685977@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>CSBM, I need some hot chocolate too!

I use Fish Mox, which is amoxicillin. I use it to treat MINOR injuries, sneezing and mild congestion. One 250mg cap sprinkled in food daily. It is not an overnight cure, and takes several days to kick in, as does Clavamox. I don't know if Petsmart or local pet supply stores carry it. I've only purchased from Entirely Pets. Oddly the 30 cap supply is the same price that I paid 2 years ago, and the 100 cap's I got last year has gone up $5.00.</p> <p><a href="http://www.entirelypets.com/fimoxa251ta.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.entirelypets.com/fimoxa251ta.html</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/38642/page/2#post-685907 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 11:36:04 +0000 linda 685907@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>awww, how sweet, opa!
