My husband is slowly falling in love with San Diego

LMAO! Never looked at like that. It's funny you mention that. I can't type.*let's the laughter die down* Really though. In high school and working in the print shop in prison I learned that I cannot for the life of me QWERTY type like I'm playing a piano. I chicken peck using my right hand middle finger. I just do it really fast. That's why I make a typo now and then. I'm looking at the keyboard instead of the computer screen.— September 23, 2009 11:42 p.m.
Letters
Very well spoken SD. I too thought about the very act of placing the wrapped piece of candy. I'm on the fence on that one and most likely always will. I see it from both sides.— September 23, 2009 11:38 p.m.

I've always been told that I write exceptionally well for a man with no formal education. Maybe I missed my calling in life. I've also had the talent to make people give up their security and comfort of apathy and mediocrity to actually think for themselves instead of getting what they"should"be thinking of from our corrupt media. The only time I've been"published"twice in letters to the editor of the NCT. Here http://www.nctimes.com/news/opinion/letters/artic… Look for a letter titled"Accident brought out valient,everyday heroes" and another that Google isn't currently pulling up(although I've seen it)right now regarding a letter I wrote in defense of saying no to Prop 8 last fall. It is kind of cool picking up the Reader and seeing my nom de pluer in print. There are ALOT of extremely intelligent posters on this forum including SDaniels(even if we aren't exactly each other's cup of meat,I'll still give credit and respect when I see it's due). You guys really make me think. When ya'll were posting about Tao Te Ching,I was googling Tao Te Ching and learning something new. I'm one of the few people I know who use the computer for what it was invented for-a learning tool.— September 23, 2009 11:26 p.m.

I too agree that he's probably the greatest QB of all time and I also agree that he'll be handing off to Peterson & Chester. The only thing is.....will his ego get the best of him when he encounters teams with great run defenses? It'll be Gunfight at the OK Corral in the Metrodome if that happens.— September 23, 2009 11:05 p.m.

LMAO tikicult! The last one on that link with the Hollyrock bar & grille was f***in' hilarious! As for my use of Sandy Eggo,I'm not doing it to be funny. I'm doing it to be an a**hole. And I guess I'm doing it well. Consider it one of the few Reader trademarks I leave laying around. Can you spot my other literary trademarks?— September 23, 2009 10:55 p.m.

Thanks Fred. I've actually thought of that. Not so much why Sandy Eggo(contrary to what my feelings may invoke,I don't hate Sandy Eggo any more than I hate whatever city I'm currently existing in)sucks but more of an outsider's view of this town. Not unlike Mrs.Braun's but more in depth I suppose. I'm not sure if you're telling me to lay off her story or not but Fred,I'm in no way criticizing her story in any way. I've been a pretty faithful reader of The Reader for 4 years now and I think today's issue might be the first one I keep just for the cover story alone. In reference to the church line I used,every now and then I'll come across a nugget. My grandmother wasn't the most religious woman but like most grandmothers,she believed in God."Sweating like a whore in church"and"that went over like a fart in church"were two of those nuggets I heard her use every now and then growing up. Religious one-liners were often invoked in my family's Catholic household.— September 23, 2009 10:36 p.m.

"It seems to me Ms. Braun wants to blame SD for not living up to her expectations, when she should be blaming herself for her life." Maybe she thought she was moving to"America's Finest City"and realized that it was no different than what she could've had out in the Heartland.....— September 23, 2009 8:49 p.m.

Here's my take,musically speaking,on the differences between a resort town like Sandy Eggo and a real town like Chicago.... Sandy Eggo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw5mkSnqOM8 Chicago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYvOsnhV6ZY I truly feel sorry for you native Sandy Eggans and your sheltered lives. I was born & raised in a town that would eat Sandy Eggo for breakfast and s*** it out for lunch.— September 23, 2009 8:44 p.m.
Fun Football Stories
I don't see the Vikes making the playoffs. Without Favre? Yes. My Packers are still tweaking their system. With Favre? Highly unlikely. Josh? You almost sound like my roommate. He HATES Favre(and the Packers)and until he went to my team's division rival,constantly said how terrible he was. Now that he's in Minnesota,he's always saying"Favre's going to lead that team to the promised land". He,like you,can't have the Favre situation both ways. He either sucks or he doesn't.— September 23, 2009 7:18 p.m.
