But what if you don't  know? What if you have no earthly clue as to where you are headed? In fact, what if you have no idea how you managed to get on that particular road in the first place? These are very good questions. Indeed, important  questions.

Nearly every page is copiously illustrated with a wealth of breathtakingly magnificent photographic imagery on display. Marriage, pregnancy and the joy of pets are discussed in this website, which is solely devoted to an incredibly thorough, comprehensive exploration of the world currently occupied by Dagwood and Lumar Hemmerich. </div> <bR> <div> As you search through these pages, you will notice that attempts are constantly being made to keep  the content fresh and new.

He weighed a strapping 6 Lbs 9 ounces and was an impressive 19 inches in length (measured from the tip of his skull bone to the very bottom portion of his tender feetpads). His grandparents were here to witness the  event and were understandably ecstatic upon initially setting eyes on the incredibly handsome newborn. As of this writing, Baby Andrew and his mother are relaxing back at home after recuperating for two and a half days at the hospital. Baby Andrew's hobbies include eating, pooping, sleeping, pooping, and eating, intermixed with the occasional howling. He is particulary proficient in the pooping department.This has made his parents proud.</div> <bR> <div> A very special website has been created for all current and future information and photos regarding the fat baby, cleverly titled <A HREF="http://www.thefatbaby.com"title="" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.thefatbaby.com"title=""><U>THEFATBABY.COM</U></A>.

They will bring along their exceedingly vast wealth of knowledge so they can quickly respond to any and all baby-related questions or concerns. The cat's dirty, smelly blanket has been dumped on the storage room floor as a makeshift bed, and  numerous bags of potatoes have been purchased so both parents can be provided with simple but hearty meals at any time. Lumar and Dagwood look forward to their visit with wild enthusiasm.  It will be an honor and a delight to offer them this initial glimpse of their very first grandchild.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="419" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 229 WIDTH="407"><div> <B>17 July 2003</b></div> <bR> <div> On July 11, 2003, Lumar finally entered the highest  ranks of the human race. After answering seven pitifully simple questions, she was magically transformed, via an arcane "naturalization" ceremony, into a god-like U.S. Citizen. Young Lumar's most precious wish has become a blessed reality. Now, the future looks brighter than ever before for our heroine.

Rica on the following Saturday, Dagwood will immediately be consumed by office work-related issues up to the arrival of the infant offspring.  Lots of overtime hours beyond the already abnormal 9 hour day (which will be performed with or without overtime pay) are fully expected every day through to early September.  Although the entertainment value of such lengthy work days is virtually nil, it nonetheless needs to be done to bring the office up to expected standards.  </div> <bR> <div> Dagwood continues to experience sweaty suspense over the possible outcome of the naturalization interview.  Lumar of course will easily ace said interview, but, after two and a half years of directly experiencing the infamous INS incompetence, it will offer no surprise whatsoever if 1) the office is closed on the day of the interview or 2) no interview has actually been scheduled or, most likely, 3) Lumar's file folder is nowhere to be found, and in fact has been sent to an INS office in Virginia.  Everyone will soon be informed of the ultimate outcome of the experience.  </div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="https://mouthpaste.tripod.com/archive.htm"title="" TARGET="_top"
