We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes.Then one fowl is goose, but two are called geese,Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a whole lot of mice,But the plural of house is houses, not hice.If the plural of man is always called men,Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?
The cow in the plural may be cows or kine,But the plural of vow is vows, not vine.And I speak of a foot, and you show me your feet,But I give you a boot — would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?Then one may be that, and three may be those,Yet the plural of hat would never be hose.We speak of a brother and also of brethren,But though we say mother, we never say methren.So our English, I think you will agree,Is the trickiest language you ever did see. less

My mother always said jokingly: "Love is a funny feeling in the area of the belly." But obviously there is more to it... There are two symbols of love widely used over the world: The red rose and the red heart. Religions in the world elevate Love to be the essence of being. The feeling of being loved or to love someone is so strong that it can be borderline hate. Love is the mightiest of all emotions...Hate cannot forgive, but love can. Love goes beyond the grave. I read so many times that pets, like a dog, love you unconditionally, they would not leave you even if you are starving and have no food for your pet. I watched a story on television once, that a dog did not leave the grave of his master and did not accept food from anybody - he just sat there with sad eyes until he died. We humans have the ability to reason, and it is expected from us that we use it if necessary and act differently.... less

Just as in the olden days when the men talked about important things in one room as the stench of their cigars permeated the air while the women were in another room relegated I expect to talking about children and fashion and wondrous recipes! Sheesh. Just when you think you've left that behind it rears up in the now from the mouth of someone who SHOULD KNOW BETTER. Sigh. less

The trumpicans will be real sweet and complientary and very kiss-a**y but the Dems won't. So is he gonna have a hissy fit and a meltdown when he is asked questions "he doesn't want to talk about"? I guess we're gonna see which he shows up? The smooth-as-silk one who has memorized all possible answers to all possible questions or the guy who "doesn't want to talk about it" for whatever reasons? Place yer bets. less

There will always be an asterisk by Clarence Thomas referring to his integrity/honesty/character. All suspect forevermore. What's bigger than an asterisk?

I'm sure guys would rather date Melania Trump than Eleanor Roosevelt. And gals would rather date JFK than they would LBJ. I'm just sayin'. So good-looking people see the world as a very JUST place. Of course how others treat you helps shape whom you become. Republican women ARE prettier than their Democratic counterparts because they attract rich men and they can keep up keeping up their beauty. They don't have to worry about earning a living or being talented or essential to a company. They don't have to worry about paying bills or putting their kids through college or being down to their last $5 before payday which is a week away and the car breaks down. I've been there. Lots of folks have. One of the bigly perks of being wealthy for the guys is getting the hot babes. Even if you're old and fat and not appealing yourself! Wealthy women are more pampered. Being pampered helps a... less

Unless they're all extremely homely...so homely that no guy(boy, teen or man) at any time ever tried anything on them because they had zero appeal... which is unlikely.

Fair territory to explore isn't it considering it was during those halcyon days of youthfulness "exuberance" that the alleged attempted rape occurred? It matters not how he has comported himself as an adult. It matters very much whom he was and what he did when he was 17.

Another trumpican female who was named(Lourdes Castillo de la Pene) said she would still support Kavanaugh even if the allegations prove to be true. He** with supporters like that how can he lose? These women are beyond understanding. Why they are so wired is unknowable. But they exist and they are apparently in the many rather than the few vis a vis trumpican females so there ya go. They stand by their men and their sons and their brothers and their uncles and their heroes and defend/excuse/accept all without condemnation or criticism. Why? Because of course men know best right? Anything goes! Nice isn't it? less

At 17 did you attempt to rape a 15-year-old girl? Some Republican women seem to think you are all alike and after all "boys will be boys" right? This is what women who come forward face from their own gender. Their own sex being first on the bandwagon to deprecate denigrate make light of and normalize extremely disgusting behavior. Ah yes. Women don't need enemies beyond their own gender do they? Sadly. less

A few folks have in fact been awarded Nobel prizes in more than one category. But all of the categories? I bet super don will find a way to be the first to achieve that distinction. Once he sets his mind on getting something there is no stopping him. Bide your time. He'll get around to it. Right now he's got other things occupying his mind.

Any hope they will all be done in and banned and deported to an island just for them? What could it hurt to hope, right?

All of this on the watch of super don who has made it a priority to GUT THE EPA. His timing is impeccable. FLAWLESS. Just as he diverted Millions of dollars from FEMA to build more cages and kennels for kids just before Florence hit. Just in time. But the EPA was gutted long ago. Anything to save a dime including deaths resulting from being a cheapskate and an anti-human profiteer! What a legacy for super don. Who will be able to match his achievements? Hopefully no one. :( less

I remember his teacher who was fond of him and encouraged him and inspired him to read Harry Potter, which had only just come out, (as the book). So that was the first time I saw him read something for himself and love it..

It has four bedrooms but we don't need that much space. Three would be plenty. I would prefer that it were a little higher on a cliff, right on the ocean surrounded by ancient forest inland. There should also be some tall leafy plants by the bedroom windows so I can listen to them blow in the wind as I'm going to sleep. No swimming pool but there must be a protected lagoon down at the water's edge where I can keep my boat and grow out all the lobsters and fish I catch. So, the coast guard shouldn't be too far off and neither should the grocery store and Home Depot. Is that too much to ask? less
