I spell things the american way most of the time, but use the u when I feel like it. Woman's prerogative...


My xhusband used to deliver furniture for UPS in the LA area. Some times there were many many many steps to drag an armoire up...
They would get more crew to help. Still not easy.

Actually, I love the British spelling, especially since I love Dickens so much. Just fooling.

336. I think War and Peace is an exceptional novel, except, Pierre (I'm pretty sure I got the name correct) got on my nerves in the latter parts of the story.

337. I think possums have prescious little reason to exist. Still, I rescued one out of the swimming pool and released it today.

338. I think Lord of the Flies is one of the finer novels I have read. The Spire, by the same author, is good also.

339. I think philosophy is a worthy subject, but I don't have the drive to excel in the study of it.

340. I think the soul exists. It resides in the big toe (the left one).

No that's where your soul is. Stomp. Teehee Shocked Laughing

341. I think I'm jealous. Ezzard Charles had two Zs in his name.

342. I think Good Friday is a good Friday. No work for me.

343. I think it's wonderful that a woman I know was removed from the "terminal" list by her cancer doctor.

344. I think Leonard Cohen's "Book of Mercy" might just as well be written in Chinese, for all I could get out of it.

345. I think being homosexual is totally gay.

I think the ancient Greeks believed that the soul resided in the liver, because it was such a perfect organ.

I might be mistaken.

I hear you, edgar!

Great novel, but Pierre got to be a boring wimp, over hundreds of pages.

Fiction heroes have gotta have a flaw or 3 for credibility!

I'm glad somebody agrees with me. Did you see the bland piece of tripe starring Henry Fonda they made of this book. Much as I adore Henry, I hated this film.

346. I think I will start having my oil changed for me. Tired of it and having to find a place to take the old oil off my hands. I suppose I should do like reyn and dys do, and dump it on the side of the road at three AM, but I wasn't raised like that.

347. I think Easter is a swell day for the kiddies. I don't do a thing for it anymore, except display an Easter basket toting Roger Rabbit I made on plywood one year. I take it to the job, because my dog would probably chew off its arms and ears if I displayed it here.

348. I think my wife's arm is getting close to normal. She resumed her nanny position with our daughter this week.

349. I think it an oddity that the temperature will be in the 30s this weekend. It's normally no cooler at night than the low seventies, in April.

350. I think it's absurd that the pterodactyl had hair and not feathers.

Some may wonder about my source of inspiration. Not to worry anymore:

Hey, I heard that thought, fella! Laughing

Actually, that's quite funny, because the only things I do with our car is add gas and windshield washer fluid. For everything else, it goes to the dealer for maintenance. I'm not car mechanically-inclined whatsoever, or have any interest in becoming so.

I usually save money in the long run, getting a mechanic. Definitely save time.

351. I think I have finally learned to appreciate Faulkner's books. For a long time, I was on the fence.

352. I think we continue inching closer to 1984.

353. I think able2know is still the best forum site on the net. I joined and browsed a few others, recently, and none measured up in the slightest.

354. I think the novel, The Last Temptation of Christ, was magnificent. The movie sucks.

355. I think the Astros will once again disappoint the fans.

356. I think gus may never speak to me again. Oh, well, now I won't have to read the book I promised him I would. Wait. I can't go back on my word. I shall read it, eventually.

357. I think the original copy of Tropic of Cancer on sale at Ebay right now may go for $5,000. I would do many things to own that book.

358. I think the Shroud of Turin is much like the Holy Tortilla of Mexico. Not much to get excited about.

359. I think Ferrante and Taicher's recording of the theme from The Apartment is one of my all-time favorite instrumentals.

360. I think it odd that ABC TV can still draw enough audience to broadcast The Ten Commandments every year, when virtually anybody could buy a copy and watch it in a more compressed time frame, with no station breaks and commercials.
