Oldies (but goodies?)
I'm a bit baffled by what gets played as an oldies song. I prefer music from the70s, with some from the 60s thrown in. There's some great music that never gets played, and the DJ will follow up a really great song with crap that shouldn't have been released in the first place. I'd love to be a DJ and play the stuff that rocks, no matter how old or new it is. How can you not like James? "You've Got A Friend" and "Fire And Rain" are timeless, although I don't care for the rest of it.— September 6, 2009 4:43 p.m.
How would you prefer to die?
I've known two people who died in their sleep and I wonder if they really did slip away peacefully. How do we know they panic and no one can hear them trying to scream because they couldn't breathe. I can think of many ways that I don't want to die, but I can't think of one way I want to go. I guess I just have to live forever...— September 5, 2009 8:38 p.m.
Hell to the No
Single, you ARE awesome. We've got to find you a decent guy...— September 5, 2009 8:31 p.m.
Car Crash That's a Nail Biter
She wouldn't happen to be related to the "Lee" of "Lee Press-on Nails" fame, would she?— September 5, 2009 8:20 p.m.
Crest Burgers
Josh deserves to get paid, just for putting up with the B.S. posters alone. In my opinion, there's no amount of cash that would make the job worth it, unless it comes with a daily dose of Valium.— September 4, 2009 9:39 p.m.
Roller Coaster of Love
Legally, a defendant has to pay for your damages like medical bills to make you whole. If you didn't suffer any damage while on the malfunctioning ride, you're out of luck. It's unlikely they could recover for emotional distress.— September 3, 2009 11:57 p.m.
Two Idiots Suing -- The Miss California Edition
Pagent officials said that she missed appearances and that her dismissal had nothing to do with her gay marriage answer. It was reported that the woman who took her place had the same position on gay marriage that Prejean. If that can be proven in court, she won't have a prayer. I think the guy had a right to shoot the robber in the back because his adreline was up and he couldn't thin straight. I'd love to sit on that jury. The bad guy was lose.— September 2, 2009 11:27 p.m.
The Basterds at Corvette Diner
Speaking of bad movies, I was really shocked when I saw obsessed with Beyonce. What utter crap! Whoever put up the money for it, must have been high when he/she signed.I would have given it a "B," until it got to the end, when a cartoon character fight broke out. There was the stereotypical, tough black woman, cranking her neck (that was Beyonce) and the weak little white girl whose ass gets kicked, it would have made more sense to have it the other way around since Beyonce's character was the princess. Then the white girl holds Beyonce's neck over the upstairs railing and then here's a surprise,they trade places and the white girl goes over the side, hangs from the chandelier and falls and dies. My God! The Reader posters write better than that and they don't get paid millions of dollars. The only good thing about it was that Beyonce did manage to show some emotion this time--I think she got her upper lip to twitch. I don't know what these movie makers are thinking.I wait to rent movies, because paying ten dollars is an insult. I did really like "Wendy and Lucy." Thought it was great.— September 1, 2009 11:54 p.m.
A Day in Traffic Court
A few months ago, I worked a speeding ticket off at the county animal shelter. There's a program for that, but you don't get to play with dogs. You have to fill kongs with food, do laundry, or scrub kennels. I've been volunteering for that work anyway. Sometimes, animals come in there sick, injured or severely abused. One lady ran out of there crying because of what she saw, so it's not for the faint of heart.— September 1, 2009 12:32 p.m.
Pit Bull Justice
Sadly, Ginger went to a foster home and the nipper got adopted.— August 31, 2009 8:56 p.m.
