And another teacher phrase that always drove me nuts was my Algebra teacher's telling us, "Same difference." How can something that's different be the same? Or how can something that is the same be different? The terms, by their very definitions, contradicted each other. I remember working so hard ...

I just mowed my lawn. I love mowing my lawn. :D :D :D :D If you want to do mine, I'm not gonna make ya stop. I do mine. My mother's. My 94 year old next door neighbor's. The acres at the fishing heaven in VA. I sometimes think of myself as a grass farmer. Trouble is, THIS AIN'T THE CASH CROP! B-)

Ya gotta do, what'cha gotta do. Best of luck and all good wishes to him. I've really enjoyed watching him play. I really enjoyed debating Jumbo over my choosing him as MOTM in one game, even though he didn't have the high stats. In that game, he brought a top-notch degree of stability to the team an...

Elliot Williams has decided to transfer. There is sickness in the family.

Sounds like those wishes are coming true. Many more.

Oh, BTW, who said I was giving up anything?

I'm surprised "sex" would not be on the list, especially in place of obesity (food). Another favorite quotation would have then fit the bill... "Ya can't smoke. Ya can't drink. Now ya can't...do that either. Damn! That's three of the four food groups." Bob Powers (deceased friend) Another... "I woul...

I am moved by your writing. Sounded like a really good man. I feel you well expressed your better position in life for having been close to him. We should all take time to better know our parents. I've learned a great deal from mine but I would trade everything I know to have a chance to re-learn th...

I do it every night. Too damn many pillows! Too many in-laws.

I'm curious enough to ask if you have kept in contact with the ear muffs or was it just a one-night stand.

Thanks everyone! It was always interesting growing up, my birthday and father's day very frequently were on the same weekend and occasionally on the same day (and very frequently the summer solstice, for you pagans out there). It's interesting now that father's day is for me. Had a good day today. ...

Hoppy, Hoppy Birthday. Let us know what you feel like after your 5th beer... :)) The fifth one last night was wonderful. I was handsome and fearless. St. Pauli/special dark. I'm just checking in. Gotta attend a meeting this morning and then, back unto the hills for more fishing adventures. The wate...

The Reverend and a nice steak (which was considerably larger than I thought it would be).

Screws? :)) Looks beautiful. A co...

Not quite yet!

How many of Jeff Foxworthy's jokes apply to you? A whole lot do to me. Actually, my wife's family has many, including "if your family tree comes back together after forking". I actually made up two about my wife's family. These aren't things that JF has actually said, but they are things that her f...

I did this last night.

Could this be confused with the "service exit"?

We are simply amused.
