Memo to Merlin the Rescue Hound: Mommy has enough trouble doing situps and pushups during the fitness routine without your getting under her arms or licking her face while she does so. And why, now that I'm finished, do you go sit in the chair instead of beside me on the couch? Love, Mom Your hound...

Well..... it's 3:45pm... (long 3-4 days), regardless... thank god for the food channel (emotional support)! I think I might be going out for a take out order from OUT BACK! Call me or NOT CLASSY, but I've been craving this! (NOTE: I buy a ticket for Cathy and myseof every VA deadline! WE WILL EVENT...

I booed Santa the year I put in for a diamond and got a handgun! (that was in a previous life, not during the now-lifetime tenure of Mr. Lawgrad91). Brave hubby of yours! Look honey, I got you a gun to massacre ME If I ever make a mistake OR (if I stop making you happy)! Bad move on his part, guys (...

Hi philadevil! Welcome!

I don't get all that stuff about how the players should decide the game at the end. If something is a foul in the first minute or in the twenty-eighth minute, it should be a foul in the fortieth minute. Somehow I can't see one of our judges saying, "Well, that was hearsay in the Commonwealth's case ...

I voted that the Terp fans are worse than Philly fans, though it was a hard decision, and admittedly, I had forgotten about the booing of Mike Schmidt. I think what swayed me was the fact that the University enables the Terps to act in the manner that they do (FYI-the First Amendment doesn't cover "...

Aaah, perfect with my fish and water. (When Mr.Lawgrad91 gets off work, we have to go to a thing at church. That explains the water, though maybe it could be turned into wine! ) WVa-Duke on CBSC. DirecTV is a many-splendored thing....

TillyGalore, I'm not a guy....My parents never said a word about my wanting to play football. None of that "ooh, little girls are cheerleaders, little boys play football" stuff. Mom actually used football to teach me the three and seven times tables! She grew up in an era where people told her it wa...

Merlin the Rescue Hound and Sasha the Fitness Schnauzer insisted upon a dog, and I agree with Very Duke Blue about already trained puppies. Especially since I've lived with Merlin for nearly 6 years and neither of us is trained yet!

Aaah, so that's what Brunchgate is all about....Does most everyone have season football tickets? After hearing Coach Cut in his first media tour, I was ready to strap on a helmet and hit somebody! Football was my first love and my first goal in life was to be a linebacker for the Steelers (during th...

Ozzie, this might be the time to mention that reading your posts kept me sane through the NCAA tournament on the, um, other location. This year and this team, for some reason, affected me like no other Duke team. I lived and died with them more than I can remember ever doing before. Thanks for keepi...

Thanks for the kind words of welcome, everyone! CathyCA, my FB buddy, invited me here, and you've got a good thing going on. Yes, Earl, your powers of ESPN haven't failed you. Duke Law Class of 1991, prosecuting attorney in a small Virginia county. Currently, I'm procrastinating. I should be writing...

A version of "One Shining Moment" that brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for posting.

Thank you! Will rum and Coke be an appropriate libation? (until I return to Weight Watchers on Monday, and then it's back to water, water, and more water for 25 more pounds. )

I was invited over by a FB friend. Tonight's my first visit. Nice to be welcomed!

Go Duke!
