And now, what stationery for the return gifts or thank you notes. If she returns, I think she needs to include a nice little note on Crane's with her initials, not his.

ROFL again..... you're killing me! :-)

Odd isn't it that some don't like silver and such. I just love the feel of it and when it has a history, I love it more. My mother in law's silver is clearly used alot and you can just feel her presence and life when you hold it.

I'll bet you anything that it was the MOTHERS that were the selfish and self-centered ones in this.

Plus a fiance who didn't have the backbone to say "STOP, enough is enough" Why didn't she just grab him and sneak off and elope? Now that would have been a powerful message.

Cold Feet & Hot Sauce

Jennifer Wilbanks, the missing 32 year old Georgia woman who was scheduled to be married today, was found alive and well in Albuquerque, NM on friday. Ms. Wilbanks first told authorities that she was the victim of a kidnapping, but soon recanted to say that she was a "victim of love". It seems that Ms. Wilbanks recently saw a photo of Dave Dewitt, known as "The Pope Of Peppers" and founder of The National Fiery Foods Show and Chile Pepper Magazine, and fell instantly and madly in love. This prompted her cross-country trek to find the hot sauce king in New Mexico. Mr. Dewitt, contacted late friday, had no comment other than to mutter "she looked a lot better before she cut her hair".

I'm real interesting in learning why she didn't call when this story first went public with 24/7 wall-to-wall coverage...

No I just use the china nd enjoy it. My brother has the silver and does the same. :)

I wonder what my daughter will think when she gets the Grand Baroque? LOL Maybe she'll pack it away to give to a daughter of her own. LOL Grand Baroque like a silver fruitcake just passed around but never used.

Is it just me or does it look like the MSNBC's Reporteret lipstick was applied with a paint roller?

Two weeks before my wedding I took my ring off while at work and kept it in my pocket the entire day. It felt great when it was time to go home I put it back on - 16 years and 4 children later we are still together.

Cold Feet.

Dear Word Detective: What is the origin of the expression "to get cold feet"? I've often experienced "cold feet" and backed out of doing something at the last minute, but have never understood how hypothermia of my nether extremities had anything to do with it. -- Charles Howard, via the internet.

Good question. "To get cold feet" means to become anxious, timid or discouraged, and most often to act on those feelings by, as you say, "backing out" of a commitment or task. A person with "cold feet" who retreats from a task is also often called "chicken," which really isn't fair to the noble fowl, some of whom are quite courageous and have no fear, as I do, of public speaking.

"Cold feet" as a synonym for "timid" seems to date from the late 19th century, but its exact origin is uncertain. Experts have long suspected that the phrase might have something to do with the military, an environment which certainly offers a plethora of things to fear. It is entirely possible that "to get cold feet" originally referred to soldiers who exempted themselves from battle by complaining that their feet were frozen.

A more intriguing possible origin, however, dates back to the 17th century, when "to have cold feet" meant "to have no money," probably referring to someone being so poor as to lack shoes. The transition from the "no money" sense to the modern "timid" sense of "cold feet" may be found in an 1862 German novel in which a card player withdraws from a game claiming that he has "cold feet" (i.e., no money), when in fact he has merely lost his nerve. "To get cold feet," goes the theory, then eventually came to mean backing out of any risky situation, whatever excuse was given.
