    Anybody got a joke?

    A trucker came into a truck stop diner and placed his order. He said, "I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards." The brand new blonde waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the kitchen and said to the cook, "This guy out there just ordered...

    Ann B. Ross: The Miss Julia Series

    Another good light series is the Fairacres series by Miss Read (no relation, lol). Anyone read those?

    War Of The Worlds

    No, veggie, you stated your opinion very well. I don't think one needs to read the book to be qualified to judge a movie. Whether you like or dislike a movie or a book is a matter of personal taste, and you shouldn't feel the need to defend your point of view from someone who possibly wants to...

    Assisted suicide ...

    I don't think we're talking here about arbitrarily assisting suicide in people who are unconscious and unable to make decisions for themselves. I'm talking about ME and what I want, which is why people should make living wills. I don't want to be in the position of being terminal and in and out...

    Ann B. Ross: The Miss Julia Series

    Fannie Flagg has a place in my heart! "Fried Green Tomatoes" is one of the best I've ever read. :)

    Can apologies be made after the fact?

    I wonder what the Rev. King would have thought of the mayor's remarks?

    Ann B. Ross: The Miss Julia Series

    I'm from the 'old school' of fiction appreciators, by which I mean that I admire the way fiction used to be up until around the 1960's. Fiction up until the age of free love was just that-pure fiction, which means a story has a beginning, middle and end, and left the reader satisfied they'd read...

    Assisted suicide ...

    I'd hope if I were terminally ill, no hope of recovery, and months of pain and suffering that won't be completely alleviated by painkillers, that someone would help me die. We treat our terminally ill pets better than we treat humans in this country, at least they can be put down painlessly and...

    Can apologies be made after the fact?

    No, I don't think it's possible for a public official to make controversial remarks, then after the remarks have drawn criticism, apologize and think everything will be fine and dandy. People will remember the remarks, and the backtracking attempt, and conclude he or she isn't trustworthy, not...

    What's your favourite word? And worst?

    Pulchritude. How can a word that means "beautiful" make me think of vomit?

    I'm not interested in the complexities. What does it do?

    Can someone tell me what an ESMTP id is, and how do I find out who is behind it?

    Slim by william Wister Haines

    It seems to be rather rare, I remember searching for an affordable copy for a client a few years ago. http://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac=sl&st=sl&qi=,guQIT2h4QF3e49Vokuc2fU4hyE_0496870366_1:1:1

    24-new season SPOILERS

    Wow!! Slam-bang first two hours. Those sneaky White House bastards! You never know who's stabbing you in the back, no way I'd want a job in the Administration.

    Cristin Hayes Foreword in english and the novel in Swedish

    I'd comment if I could understand it.

    'Unknown'. A short story...First time posting my writing.

    Not too bad, but not something that uplifts one. Spelling errors are at a minimum, including: she noticed her dinner trey ; but his shacking voice told lies ; placed the rapped box in front of her ; on the shelves, all in hight order. There may be more but I didn't look that closely. I did...

    Married again

    Except in the case of celebrities whose spats are well-publicized, especially spats which result in the police being called numerous times, charges filed and dropped, and custody battles. I'm not predicting how long Eminem's second marriage to Kim will last; it's not worth my time. It's more a...
