While a lot of the legal details of this case have faded in my memory a bit, what remains vivid for me is my absolute disgust and incredulity regarding the husband. Not only did he support that Andrea didn't need help with the kids, he participated …

From my father, definitely. His father died when he and his twin brother were infants in rural West Texas. Their mom was somewhat disabled, so their 12-year old brother worked three jobs to support the family. Then came the Depression. When my dad a…

Over the years, especially over the past three, I've drawn a lot of comfort from thinking about the Rainbow Bridge. There'll be a large entourage waiting for me when I get there. In the meantime, I'm especially grateful this Christmas that by some m…

My grandmother. She's been gone about 10 years, and I still miss her so much, especially around the holidays. (Second choice: Kevin Costner, only so I won't have to fight with HRinNH over Richard Gere x:-).)

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-19-04 AT 00:00AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I've already gotten one great Christmas gift from a friend at work that was modest in price but worth a million in laughs. I would recommend this as a stocking stu…

Dang! Why didn't I think of that!?!?

I hadn't seen this one before, and I love it. I believe in following all of these guidelines to the letter, with only one restriction that I try to abide by: Never eat anything bigger than your head.

It's a very good point that being incommunicado is an important feature of being out of pocket. If you can be reached by cell phone or any other telecommunications device, you are not truly out of pocket.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 12-10-04 AT 11:05AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Keep your day job if you must, but I like the notion that the phrase originated with nipping from a pocket flask. x:-)

I know what it means, but -- like a lot of idioms -- I don't know the origin of the phrase. I had no idea it was a southern expression, but come to think of it, perhaps I should have known since the Sweet Potato Queens (your homegirls, Don) hold for…

Buddy Holly.

Thanks for for those! Here's one in return: A husband is advised by a psychiatrist to assert himself. "You don't have to let your wife henpeck you. Go home and show her you're the boss." The husband takes the doctor's advice. He rushes home, sla…

Odd...I thought I knew my Chekov but I've never run across "The Seagull in Groucho glasses." x}>

"Why ride the fence?" I like the view, metaphorically speaking. x;-) Other than that, although I hate to keep relying on Marc to do the heavy lifting, he nailed it and I couldn't have said it better.

Thanks for the clarification. I really didn't know what you were talking about. I was not aware that the Brothers Menendez had received marriage proposals. Very sick, indeed. I'm going to go out on a limb and bet that no Forumite who opposes the dea…

"Some of you would applaude the women who offered to marry the Menendez brothers who bludgeoned their parents to death and who today languish in prison for life..." I'm completely baffled by this comment. Apart from that, I remain ambivalent about…

No, because I think life in prison with ZERO chance of parole is a fate worse than death.

It was a humorous look at liberals fleeing to Canada to avoid another four years of Bush.

pssst...check your email

Yeah, too bad. The Lawrence Welk accordian player and fries-with-mayo discussions promised to be interesting.

So, John Phillips was a 60's folk-rock singer and is now an attorney. What a versatile guy --- a true renaissance man.

Yes, he was a Papa.

Guy in the middle: Mike Maslanka?

Sounds like another case for the contraction detective! x:-/

Yes, Don, one of the things that you and I have in common is irritation at the incorrect spelling of "y'all." It's always bugged me. As to fish and lack of flatulence, it's a good theory, but I'm not sure what the point of fried fish would be wit…

....and speaking of jokes that involve God and carnivores: If God hadn't meant for us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat. x:D (Sorry if y'all've heard that one a million times.)

I read in the paper this morning that K-Mart is buying Sears and will become the nation's third largest retailer after Walmart and Home Depot. I guess the other shopping and employment opportunities in a given community play a large role in whether…

You had me with the tiramisu x:9, but you lost me with the laxative chewing gum.
