Lucius will probably get over being a 'fraidy cat, but I don't think the same holds true for my Husky, who is terrified of the deer, even though they are on the other side of a fence. She trips over herself to get in the back door if they even stomp and snort at her.

I've got to leave for an appointment, but don't you wish Ahab had been able to finish the job on Ted when he had the chance. Just think of all the lamps the oil from that lard-laden whale could have kept burning.

True. Lie is a better word but I was in a hurry to smoke. I guess I could blame someone else like camle and gabz do, but I am a victim of ME!

Seems as if some NYC teachers got their jobs through the tacit nod & wink of cronyism and affirmative action instead of actually having to
pass a test.Maybe I'm just biased because I know our teacher is above reproach.
