I am very much a 1950's TV baby. I grew up in a household where the tube was on 20 hours a day, and started learning to read before kindergarten thanks to Captain Kangaroo. These days, I watch exactly as much TV as I want to -- no less, no more -- …

A bazillion years ago, back when it was still okay to ask on the application, "Do you have any medical problems that would limit your ability to perform the job for which you are applying?", someone wrote, "I have grandma seizures." (Of course, we a…

You go, Leslie! :DD And just ignore Don. That's the same thing my BF says when I (at 53) get carded and he (6 mos. my junior) doesn't.

Thank you. That could come in handy.

Geno, I appreciate the articles, but please be advised that my native language is Trailerbonics, and I haven't gotten any smarter since post #18, so please explain: What the *#!@ does "vacuus ineo" mean? Am I the only one who doesn't know? Will I h…

My boss just sent me the following joke which seems appropriate for this thread: While attending a marriage seminar on communication, Wally and his wife Carolyn listened to the instructor declare, "It is essential that husbands and wives know the t…

FYI: XM satellite radio has an entire channel devoted to stadium/hair bands. I listen to it when I'm in a certain mood...

Here's some more: Peter Gabriel J Geils Band Cyndi Lauper Soft Cell UB40 Dead or Alive Toto The great thing about this post, aside from the trip down rock & roll memory lane, is that it gave me new ideas for iTunes downloads. I just got an iPo…

Thanks for reminding me of [url]www.heifer.org[/url]. It's the perfect example of what I was trying to describe in #25, above. I'm thinking very seriously about making a donation in the name of my whole family and telling them that their Christmas g…

I don't know that I've "come around" so much as I've given up arguing about politics, religion, and the like on the Forum. Regarding this particular subject, I don't have a solution. I'm sure anything I could say would be written off as bleeding-hea…

It is correct that in formal dog training and dog showing, the dog is on the handler's left. A Sheltie is a Shetland Sheep Dog, but has the appearance of a miniaturized rough collie.

And I read somewhere that hard core alcoholics start with a couple of beers or a margarita at happy hour. The point is, I'm not aware of any evidence to support the notion that occasional recreational pot use is more harmful or more likely to lead t…

Okay, you got me on that one. I have a distant, hazy memory of an entire Sara Lee blueberry cheesecake consumed by two people in one sitting. That notwithstanding, technically speaking the calories are not physically present in the substance. And I …

I agree. Other advantages compared to alcohol: No hangovers and no calories. What's not to like?

#4 reminds me of a lyric from a currently popular song: "You think your name is 'Pass the Joint'". So not much has changed.
-
Exactly. I've heard about a documentary that was released within the past year or so called "A Day Without a Mexican." I haven't seen it, but apparently it makes the point very dramatically that life in California would basically shut down without M…

I know from friends' experiences that getting the last kiddo off the Daddy Payroll is, indeed, an occasion to celebrate. And a young woman close to me (BF's daughter) has recently and happily started a career as a middle school counselor so....it's …

Yay!! -- somebody agrees with me about "yeah." Other pet peeves that I don't think have been mentioned: Writing "complimentary" when meaning "complementary," and pronouncing the word "illegal" as "ee-legal." Maybe it's a Southern or a Texas than…

To me, they're like a tornado watch in Texas in the springtime. What the hell can you do but get on with your life and occasionally scan the skies?

Mine also has canine significance. Whirlwind was my "kennel" name for my one and only litter of Weimaraners, and is in memory of my best baby boy, Whirlwind's Jack of Hearts.

Unfreakingbelievable.

Uh oh, this sounds just like my nephew who lives in the Dallas area, especially his laugh. But wait, he doesn't work for Jack in the Box.

Don, are you telling us you've slept with ugly women?! x:o

Someone I know said that since we've had two Pope John Paul's, it's time for a Pope George Ringo. x:-)

I love this joke! One of the few that I would pass on of the many I receive daily.
