Way. Don't smoke - thank God. Lisa

Congratulations! Welcome to the world of home ownership, where a whole other set of troubles awaits you......:D :D :D Lisa

Oh yeah - that. I must say, she was a nice little chunk of cash this year. Of course, she is much more than that....:o Lisa

Based on Ken's calculations, it isn't all that much, but hey - anything extra is good. It wouldn't keep me from working, but boy, that would be lovely. And to answer your question, no, the US government doesn't give that kind of an allowance. Holy crap!!! No wonder woman stay out so long...

Thank you, Ken. I'm just doing the best I can. :o Lisa

Well, thanks, Tasselhoff. I haven't been a parent for long, so I am not sure how good of one I am yet. We'll have to see how much of a miscreant she turns out to be. :) Yes, I read to her. We read the Sandra Boynton books a lot - specifically "The Going To Bed Book", "Barnyard Dance"...

Ok, back the truck up - what do you mean allowance? Every time they have a kid, they get paid? From who? The government? OMG!!! How much do they get? Full pay for months??? How many months? SInce I hadn't been working here a full year, I got about 3 weeks full pay, and the rest of the 8...

I also thought the wheel scene was incredible. As soon as I saw the wheel connected to the building they were on, I thought, "Cool! They are going to run on the wheel!" I had no idea how far they would take it. And I heard that that scene was very challenging to film. Ok, for all of you who...

I haven't seen enough of Keith Richards, at least his walk or affectations to see that. However, in the next movie, Keith is his good ol' dad. Can't wait for that one. Lisa

Small child = can't go far without tears or aggravation Small child = no money either. :p Lisa

LABF= lazy ass boyfriend, and he meant cutting grass. Gutting grass would be time consuming and inefficient. :D Lisa

Nah, that dream will occur after I have lost the labf....:) Lisa

Dude, I am so THERE!!! I have pictures I got online of Bora Bora, with the little huts out in the sea that you can stay in, with the glass floors so you can watch the sea creatures from inside. Oh so cool... And I expect ot pay that much for an island vacation, so you can bet I am already...

Well, I saw the new Pirates of the Carribean movie last Friday, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have to say that fact is owed tremendously to the presence onscreen of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, however, I also think it was a hoot. I mean, it is not a movie made for substance, it is meant to...

Ok, since I think I might have hijacked this thread into "Terms of Endearment", let me see if I can get it back on track. Since I am probably not going to have a vacation this summer, here is where I will be spending my leisure time in my mind: You'll see me in lying on a chaise lounge, on a...

I love Jim Carrey, and after seeing his later films, Ace kind of fell off my list. That's why "Bruce Almighty" is on my list of classics (I mean, good movies, since it is pretty recent, Stu). And I like "Liar Liar" too. Lisa

Grammatically, no, but then again, we will probably get pounded about how our American English is a bastardized version of UK English, and therefore, our grammatical rules do not apply. But if you think about it in a UK fashion, saying "her indoors" is akin to saying "her Majesty", in form only...

Yeah - at least "cupcake" connotes something sweet and delicious, not unlike "honey", "sweetheart", etc. What I get from "her indoors" is "she who is to remain inside, and tend to her duties". I would think you wouldn't want to call her that to her face. :p Lisa

Yeah, I think it's the pouting and that kind of stuff I can't do. Never have. I'm just full-on blunt and direct, damn the torpedoes. Perhaps in many male circles that is called "bitch", but I don't care. I'm not an eyelash-batter, I'm more of a baseball-batter. :D :D Lisa

That's the one I don't understand. Is it called such because she is always indoors? How sad. ;) Lisa
