Kill Bill -- Two Bill's, Both Idiots
I fell asleep during Kill Bill. I just cannot understand what all the fuss was about. Anyway, your story about your friend, Bill, happened to me as well with the woman who was my maid of honor and her idiot boyfriend. We no longer speak. An unbelievable control freak, she would make sure that everything we ever did in our circle of friends was at their house. She would plan things and exclude others, she would criticize our shoes or choice of clothing, and she would get unbelievably drunk at the most inappropriate times. At my wedding, she grabbed at least ten guests, including a substantial number of the wedding party, and took them to their room to smoke pot. During my wedding! She could not stand the fact that the attention was not on her. They were gone for at least a half hour, and missed some of the important parts of the reception.

Music Notes...Metallica, Michael Jackson, and a Monkee in the Middle
Anytime, Magics. For those about to rock, we salute you.— March 15, 2009 12:05 p.m.
The Biddy
Thanks! I saw that movie. That character was wonderfully evil. Judi Dench played it perfectly. Isn't it funny how we would get a kind of "crush" on our teachers?— March 15, 2009 9:50 a.m.
Music Notes...Metallica, Michael Jackson, and a Monkee in the Middle
Josh, you big meanie. Have you been to Magicsfive's website? The girl knows her stuff. Remember, men and women think differently. Logic vs. emotion, or so I've been told? Music is simply a matter of taste. That's why there is such a variety.— March 15, 2009 9:14 a.m.

Something about this is a little disturbing. It insinuates that most women will automatically sleep with a married man if there is mutual attraction. The scenarios presented are all younger, beautiful women and older, married men. That is more a fantasy than reality. I've actually encountered cheaters in the work place. They come in every shape and size. And age. Only once have I seen the hot, younger assistant/older, married executive situation. Most of the cheaters were fat, old, and/or unhappy. "I live and work in other countries, and it's very refreshing to find women who aren't eager to scratch men's eyes out (see above) and can actually fit into a pair of jeans without creating a muffin-top. Women who have traveled, expect to support themselves, who understand that what men do is different from what women do, and who aren't offended by the fact that we think differently." FRED!!! Please! Give us some credit. Not all American women are these pathetic, self-loathing, man-hating, unsophisticated creatures you have conjured up. Many of us fit into our jeans just fine.— March 15, 2009 9:08 a.m.

"No recommending books in my threads. Save that for Oprah, ladies. Hehehehehehe..." This is not reading for Oprah fans. It is for smart people.— March 14, 2009 7:54 p.m.

I've just come back from a day of skiing at Mountain High and look at all the fun I've missed!! Josh, you are correct. Logic prevails. It is dumb to refer to your spouse as your best friend in the context you present. Fred, the emotional attachment is the key to all lasting relationships. Without it, you're screwed (figuratively). And ANTI, I almost had dry martini come out of my nose when I read "Hoard stated"! Almost as good as "Puppy barked"! Anti, you might enjoy the book "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. It sounds like you may have already, but if not, read it if you get a chance.— March 14, 2009 5:59 p.m.
Give and Take
I just popped it into the oven. I will watch the video and let you know how my pasta attempt turns out. Should I use roses or daisies? Ha, ha, just kidding - if it is any consolation, I thought "flower" was cute, AND I forgot an apostrophe.— March 13, 2009 6:44 p.m.
Give and Take
Do you know that since your pizza column we have been making our own pizza about once a week? Tonights star attraction? Mushroom, red onion and fresh motz and parm. Mmmm. That picture of the pizza you made is burned into my memory. And now your pasta story has me thinking back to when I was a kid. Nothing was better on pasta than just some butter and a little cheese. Can you share Josue's recipe? It sounded delish.— March 13, 2009 5:46 p.m.
