For some reason Mary got the giggles and couldn't stop giggling. Most inappropriate at a funeral. Ever experience mixed emotions? Laughing in a somber situation and crying in one where others were laughing? What causes that?

I've worn them exactly twice before today, for a few hours each time. As I put them on today and began to tie the laces, I pulled to tighten them and the entire eyelet ripped as if it were made of onionskin paper, grrrrrrrr. Bring on the tariffs! Buy American!~DISCLAIMER: I'm just joking around. Oh, it happened just as I've written it above, it's just that the supposed anger is over-exaggerated. less

That dream came true and it was even better than I had imagined because we caught tons of fish and had fun doing it. There were about eight years there, until he discovered girls, that I would call my best years so far. But being retired, now that I'm getting used to the idea of not becoming rich or famous, is starting to shape up nicely too. I'll keep you posted.

I do.Oh, by the way -- I'm completely biased in my opinion, so I know I'm right, too! Ha!:)I saw the movie only once. I liked it a LOT, too. But I remember I had the same type of thoughts as expressed in the essay. Maybe not quite so strongly, though.:)
Dear the 2004 Romantic Drama The Notebook,
I know this seems like it might be coming a little late, but as they say - better late than never! After all, Allie waited seven years for Noah to come find her, never realizing that he had attempted to write her every day for a year but her mother intercepted all of the letters before they reached her. And when Allie and Noah finally did reunite after years and years of being apart, they discovered their passion for one another had not died at all. I've taken this to heart and decided that it's never too late to tell someone how you truly feel. So let me just say this...

Non-Christians should be loyal to country family or family county and not place one person above all others...especially when it is a politician! Makes no sense to label yourself that way unless you wish to damage yourself irreparably. Death wish?

Watching it again just now basically just saddened me."Garden State" surprised me in how much I enjoyed the entire movie.:)

My going rate was $5 per yard, regardless of size (there wasn't a wide nor extreme range in yard size then, the neighborhood had a lot of cookie-cutter development to it). Satisfying demand was simple to the point of being foolproof: go to the houses where the grass was badly in need of being cut, the person would see me standing there with my own lawn mower, the acceptance rate was about 80%. I carried the gas can with me so that I could extend my potential range of work area with stopping. My number one customer base was the elderly people, because they were so glad and grateful to have someone offer to do it rather than having to ask someone or look for someone. In a few short weeks, I had an actual route of repeat customers, some of whom I'd cut their grass so regularly that after a while, I didn't even need to knock on the door each time. We had an arrangement, and I'd collect later if they were not home. I never got stiffed b... less

Women will only take so much crap and then they give it back! Balances out.
