Ooops.....forgot wealth.

Or at the very least, I wish for everyone to break even if that's what they would like.

Ellie

May 2013 bring you happiness, health and laughter.

Ellie

I like the South Pole personally.

Ellie

Back at ya Charpa! Hope all is well.

I agree with EQ, RG and Roy. This wasn't a celebrity but a nurse who very well might have been overly tired or in the middle of 50 things at once and passed a phone call through which she shouldn't have. I'm sure that there is policy and procedures to follow if royals are in a hospital you're working at.

I feel badly for her family. As someone who has had a loved one in my immediate family take his own life, there is nothing satirical or funny about it. It's horrific.

There could be a time to satirize the media just as EQ said, but not this poor woman.

Happy Festivus!

I like raindrops and roses and warm woolen mittens.

The Best of JR Ewing....


And no, I don't talk like Sue Ellen.

I loved him in I Dream of Genie. Sad.

Cancer is a bitch!

I'm at a great disadvantage since I'm not British! But I'll try:


Try and work out these ones;

Cock and Hen = ten

Lady Godiva = she who shall not be named

North an South = mouth

East an West = vest

Gregory Peck = neck

Fallen tree = knee

Arm xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ha....no...I can't do that. The only thing I can think of is Jacob's ladder. But I doubt that's it.

Congratulations Ellie you have passed the testicular test of terror with flying colours but have still failed to explain the puzzling conundrum "What does jacobs actually mean?"

No looking it up in The Dictionary Of Cockney Rhyming Slang or asking your Brit friends either!

Clive -

That was funny.

And for the record, that would be balls, nuts, or the more medically correct, testicles.

Ellie

Star Wars geeks....

Enjoy! Makes me laugh every time I see it.

Snatch Wars

So, Chris,

Does this mean you're back?

We're cousins, but you never tell me anything.

Ellie

To any vets reading this, thank you for your service,

I teach kindergarten. I wouldn't know Frankie!

But, I could ask my librarian for a list of books that have been banned or people want to be banned for whatever reason.

I have a cousin who refused to let her children read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe for some reason having to do with anti-catholicism. And she didn't bother reading it herself. It was all based on what others told her. I would imagine most people who want to ban books haven't even read the book that want to ban.

Yeah....they touched briefly on education. I had to leave the room then, but all I heard was Romney said that he loved teachers. Then I thought, "Great...he loved Big Bird, too."

Education should be a part of foreign policy though according to this article, which makes sense:
Why Education Should be Part of Foreign Policy Debate

But anyway, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to watch all the pundits talk about the debate and what they said about education because I had to take my dog to have a crap. I waited then too.

Seems like I wait for a lot of crap!

Ellie

I waited for Castle to air tonight, but then realized that the debates were on instead. I'll be waiting another week.

Ellie

Michael Irwin.

Andy Warhol.

There are more, but I can't think of anymore right now.

Congrats....I have my Kindle edition.

Ellie

It hasn't really made the local papers here, yet. But it will. And when it does, the guy will not be able to go out in his neighborhood anymore. He'll be branded a pedadile in the eyes of his community. And, Arlington is a pretty close knit community.

And yeah. He'll be fired, and then no one will probably hire him again.

People like him sicken me. He says he's only posting for a bit of fun. What a bastard!

Ellie

So those are really clever.

Haikus about home mortgages. Who would've thought?

Not the Japanese, I'm sure.


Interest rates are high
But I worry not today
Because mine is fixed

That was funny......

My hippy name would be Sunshine Hemingway.

I don't know why....but it would be.

Peace, Love and The Doors.

I saw the first episode of the US answer to Sherlock. I promised myself I'd give it a chance. Did any of you on this side of the pond see it? What were your thoughts.

I am not sure of Johnny MIller's Sherlock. As an actor, I really like him. But his Sherlock seemed way more capable of compassion than the UK version. I always thought the UK version portrayed him as someone on the spectrum of Aspberger's. The US version seems to be portraying him as a very screwed up but brilliant guy who, it seems, is capable of having real feelings. Because why else do you go into drug rehab?

Your thoughts?
