[OT] RIP dear Hazel by
Pat
We hadn't seen one another since I left Arizona, only spoke on the phone and
through emails. She had been living on the Sonora coast near Hermosillo in
Mexico. She was sleeping on the roof of a friend's two-story house and fell
off. Maybe she woke up in the night and was disoriented....
She was...

[OT] RIP Patrick Swayze by
Jeanne Hedge
According to CNN, Patrick Swayze has died after a battle with
pancreatic cancer, first diagnosed in early 2008. He was 57.
This is so strange for me. During lunch today I was reading an article
(I think it was on KTLA (a Los Angeles TV station) website, in which
he was ranting about false reports...

[OT] Running joke by
Mark Edwards
When we go to a restaurant, I always tell Senyah, "They don't serve girls
here." This morning, the waitress at Denny's (anniversary breakfast)
overheard us and said, "That's right. We took them off the menu last year."
Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

[OT] Sad and Disgusted by

Well, Proposition 2 was overwhelmingly passed in Texas yesterday. One of
the few times I've been ashamed to be a Texan!
I guess all us married couples can now breathe a sigh of relief that a gay
couple can no longer come knock on our doors with shotguns and force us to
get a...

[OT] Safety alert by
Yowie
I awoke to the sound of the Yowlet's panicked screams last night, and went
to see what was wrong. A thread from the cotton-weave 'hospital' blanket had
seperated and was wrapped very tightly around his arm, to the point where
his hand had started to go blue. I removed the thread, massaged...

[OT] SD by

Last night, there were several heavy thunderstorms, and heavy (much needed
rain). It hasn't broken the horrid humidity yet, but at least the
temperature to go with the horrible humidity has lessened. It has made
getting a good night's sleep difficult what withthe thunder and Fluffy

[OT] Seek opinions about a disagreement by

Hey, I hope some of you guys might be willing to read this and give
me your opinions. A friend and I are having some words because she
sometimes does this behavior around me that I find hurtful. I've
asked her to stop, and she just refuses. Here's the situation:
I've always had some difficulty...

[OT] Sega by
[email protected]
One of the things I like to do when I'm not feeling well or on these
hot, hot days is play with the old Sega Genesis. DH has a Playstation
2, which, of course, will go with him when we divorce, but I don't
care much for it anyway; most of the games seem too difficult for me.
I like simpler games. ...

[OT] Show No Mercy by Mark Williams by

My mother apprantly had a mix-tape of songs that my sister & I had recorded
off the radio when we were still young lasses living at home. She is very
fond of all the songs on there, being reminders of her teenage music-mad
daughters at that time. Of course, it suffered the death of many a...

[OT] Slang Help Wanted by
Jeanne Hedge
What does "Gilroy" mean?
I was reading an interview with actress Claudia Black (Aeryn Sun of
"Farscape"), during which she commented about Aeryn's hair - "It was
the most Gilroy that Aeryn looked, really, in season four."
IIRC Ms Black is Australian, but I think her parents might be from the
UK...

[OT] Soccer Movie Question by

A question for those who know a heck of a lot more about soccer

They were showing the 1981 movie "Victory" on TV tonight. I believe it
was also known as "Escape to Victory". This was the movie with Michael
Caine and Sylvester Stallone set during WW2,...

Has anyone here heard of anyone having problems with Splenda (Sucralose)?
I've been using it and I like the taste, but then decided to do a web search
on "Splenda Dangers" and got more info than I'd bargained for. Of course
there's all kind of panic-making misinformation to be had on the web,...

I'm asking for suggestions to deal with an age old problem - how do

My bird feeder hangs from a shepherd's crook, several feet off the

the bottom where the seed goes out into a...
