Celine Dion’s version was 1993 so that’s a 90s song.  Jennifer Rush’s version was the original version from 1984.

Yay!  You’re back!  Where have you been?

I don’t know.  I never do it.

It sounds about right.

He was talking about the Old Testament.  I think he wants to legalize recreational pot.  It’s in the Old Testament!  People got stoned all the time back then.

When I was a kid I the pastor at my church said heaven would be an eternal church service.  That means I got a glimpse of heaven every Sunday morning just by sitting through his never-ending sermons!  Yay!

Whatever makes you happy!Unfortunately, that’s why heaven can’t exist.  The things that some people love doing would make heaven an absolute hell for the people already there who can’t stand it when something they hate makes someone...  moreWhatever makes you happy!Unfortunately, that’s why heaven can’t exist.  The things that some people love doing would make heaven an absolute hell for the people already there who can’t stand it when something they hate makes someone else happy.  

Brown pants, white socks, black shoes…Do you even realize how many interdepartmental issues and how much paperwork that creates between the internal affairs divisions of the fashion police and the grammar police?

I’ll have the habanero.  It’s more expedient.  That way, I don’t have to hold the letter n and then slide my finger up and left get the ñ.

I like the name Lana but Linda’s also a beautiful name.  My husband seems to like Hebrew names because he picked Hebrew names for our oldest son and youngest daughter.

About baby names, is this something that made sense in previous generations?

I thought everybody had fireworks at midnight on New Year’s.
Yes.  Every year, we go to watch the fireworks display at midnight.  Also every year, my kids sleep through the display.  They never do a good job of staying awake no matter...  moreI thought everybody had fireworks at midnight on New Year’s.

How exactly did Romney, Bush and McCain betray you?  If you’re in the middle class, working class or a small business owner, they were never your people in the first place.  They’re the country club crowd.

Good Sandwich!  Keep giving Randy that look!  Aww, so sad.
Oh no!  Randy’s EATING you!

I know.  I had a very productive day.

I was referring to people who argue with each other about soda versus pop.  It’s a constant battle with some people.
