  • Male Forumites, take note: Dutch does all the family ironing AND he has a Trophy Wife. There's a connection between these two facts; get it?
  • I bought Whirlpool. I can't say for sure whether the wrinkling is worse because I'm terrible about taking things out of the dryer in a timely fashion, so most everything is wrinkled beyond recognition anyway. And I haven't noticed what stuff looks l…
  • A good friend of mine got one of these and she is thrilled with it. She had remodeled her bathroom and installed a Jacuzzi tub, but could never fill it with enough hot water to enjoy it. Now she has unlimited on-demand hot water and couldn't be happ…
  • Hmmm...I wonder if the potential perils of footwear and stuffed animals are compounded by sporting bunny slippers.
  • I don't mean to imply that I generally favor late-term abortions, but your point that women always know they're pregnant in time for an first-trimester termination of the pregnancy is incorrect. I personally knew a very naive teenage girl who was se…
  • >Other than "I didn't want the little sucker", >can you give me one reason for the partial borth >abortion? > I can give you three: 1. Rape 2. Incest 3. Significant health risk to the mother. I believe the latest ruling again…
  • Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others. - Groucho Marx
  • Of course I celebrated. It is, after all, a holiday for state employees in Texas, of which I am one.
  • Me too!! xpray
  • I was 16 years old in 1968 so I do remember the Democratic convention, but the event of that year that hit me hardest was the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. He was the first presidential candidate I ever felt strongly about, and I don't think anyon…
  • That reminds me of a joke my ex-husband, the economist, used to tell: If you lined up every economist in the world end to end, they still wouldn't reach a conclusion.
  • Being 5'2", I agree with the advantages you list; however, one big disadvantage is being at people's armpit height in crowds.
  • >Objectives schmobjectives, its all about the >shoes. Rad, I thought about you last weekend when I was talking to a friend who had just discovered buying Jimmy Choo's on e-Bay. Ever tried that?
  • Maybe someone should remind Hizzoner that HR people are also voters.
  • I was thinking more about the shoes being nailed on -- okay for horses but not for frogs (hence my "Ouch" post above). But the moral's the same either way. Reminds of something my mother and grandmother would say: "You have about as much business wi…
  • Ouch!
  • Yes! What the Forum needs to liven things up a bit is a bidding war over whether or not Ray posts his Speedo pix. Ray, let us know when you start to feel objectified.
  • At least it's a 12-pack and not a keg.
  • And don't hate me cause I'm 52 and I've been carded twice in the past two years. Thanks, Judy, for giving me the opening to finally brag about that. But back to the topic: Where are the men chiming in about how bad they look in a swimsuit?
  • I double-checked when I got home from work today and the portion of my MONTHLY housepayment attributable to real estate taxes is $775, so that's $9300 per year. Not quite as bad as what I thought I remembered x:-8, but way closer to $900 per month t…
  • I live in a 1850 sq.ft., 3-BR, 2.5 BA house. I think it's valued at about $350,000 for tax purposes, which is way too much for the size of course, but you know what they say about real estate -- location, location, location. When I write my house pa…
  • I don't have any kids either, Parabeagle, but I look at it this way: The kids that you don't want to pay to educate will grow up to run the nursing homes that we'll inevitably be hauled off to, the government that will run our lives, and the corpora…
  • He was on a roll but now he's toast.
  • This, of course, is a variation of a classic George Costanza move...the one where he quit, regretted it, and went back to work like nothing had happened.
  • Whatever - My apologies for hijacking your thread and going all partisan on you, but the question posed in your initial post begs for me to offer the following (Beagle's paint drying analogy notwithstanding): REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE CONVENTIO…
  • Beagle, how dare you insult paint that way?
  • When I attempted to view this on my work computer, our Websense censorship program (because we're a school) blocked it, citing "Tasteless" as the reason for the block. Naturally, this only intensified my desire to see it, and I was able to do so on …
  • Leslie, I've been thinking about getting an extra piercing in one ear, so just one question: Is your SO's chest free this weekend? I swear, I only want him for his mariner's crucifix. I have my own SO, but he only has a measly St. Christopher medal…
  • I'd like the record to reflect that I actually care less about American Idol than the end of the world. But The Amazing Race, that's another story.
