Olga, I do suppose that makes you more nervous than a cat in a room full of rockers.
A smile of remembrance.....My parents were married on Ground Hog Day. I can still see that sepia photo of them right after the wedding. Daddy was whistling.

Seriously, Letty?! My folks' anniversary was Groundhog Day, too!
1952, to be precise. I thought they were the only nuts in the entire world that would choose that particular holiday!

Eva, I don't think my parents planned their wedding for Ground Hog Day, it just worked out that way. My sister has all that stuff. She's the keeper of the flame. When I write and ask her for copies of the photos, she becomes.................
As scarce as hen's teeth.

Letty -- my parents didn't exactly plan it, either. Just went to the courthouse on their lunch hours, then went back to work. Took a small honeymoon trip that weekend. So no pictures at all.

Ah, Eva. That's a shame. I have one fantastic picture of my dad and mom. She was so beautiful and he was totally handsome in his uniform.
Edgar, Charles Dickens? Well, my goodness. I thought you would say T.S. Eliot.

Hey, Bill. A whale of a tale the market tells right up to the closing bell.
Wouldn't we all look comical running down wall street with a "bear" behind?

In the film A Christmas Carol, starring Alistair Sim, the phrase is used during the negotiations that put Scrooge and Marley at the helm of Fezziwig's erstwhile company.

Ah Ha! Edgar. Well, it certainly caught our attention, or shall I say Dickens did. <smile>
Goodnight all, from the fauna of Florida.

Yep... Da Bears suck. I'd rather run with the Da Bulls.

He he he, Mac, or til those chickens come home to roost. Talk about an oxymoron, why is a coward called a chicken when all they do is hunt and peck and then come home and "lay" around.

Just saw an advertisement on Yahoo featuring a Canadian goose and soliciting air travel to the frozen North.
If Canadian geese are so wonderful, then why do they fly here?
And if geese in general are poetry in motion, why do we refer to a zero as a goose egg?
