Nice story, Alistair–I can relate–and as Byron said . . .

"When one subtracts from life infancy (which is vegetation), sleep, eating and swilling, buttoning and unbuttoning -- how much remains of downright existence? The summer of a dormouse.

Ali, check out Mote Fiction. Great read!

A cannibal was walking through the jungle and came upon a restaurant opened by a fellow cannibal.

Feeling hungry, he sat down and looked over the menu ...

Broiled Missionary: $10.00

Fried Explorer: $15.00

Baked Politician: $100.00.

The cannibal called the waiter over and asked, "Why such a price difference for the politician?"

The cook replied, "Have you ever tried to clean one?"

Howdy do all.

Begob, only 20 days 'till Christmas and not a child in the house washed!

I'm going to my local mall to try this . . .

Hiya Mac!

Can't you just send them out in the yard and let them run around while you spray 'em with a hose?

20665. Macnas - 12/5/2006 6:42:40 PM

Social services say no.

Note this day that lives in infamy.

Consider the wisdom of preemptive war.

Wonk, it's hell to work at realigning one's skeleton--I'm in pain and trying not to take the doc's evil pills. If I do take them, I become a raving maniac.

Good lord but I have fallen into the holiday madness that is shopping for young children! I decided to get this little girl we know a Crayola Cutter for Christmas...don't ask; it's a "must have" gadget for the short set.

Already been to 5 different stores and called various others and everyone is sold out. So my last resort: eBay! I got it for $10 more than it would have been if it had been in stock locally and added to that is the insulting $10 shipping fee.

I feel like it was worth it, to NOT have to go runnning all over town searching for it in vain.

Mago, I know what you mean. Try hard to do it without surgery. From what I've heard, back surgery often doesn't work very well. And of course comes with risks.

I feel like it was worth it, to NOT have to go running all over town searching for it in vain.

Certainly it is, especially with the Saturday traffic. I wish I could have grocery delivered. We need here one of those services that runs errands for you, and that is not too far in the future, I hear through the grapevine.

20671. Magoseph - 12/10/2006 12:30:13 AM

Wonk, everything I did in the past was wrong and now before I do anything, I have to think how to do it. Now I know why Rush Limbaugh became addicted and that is because he was too fat and lazy to undergo rehab, I bet.

By the way, I wrote to you on your site and I even sent you an e-mail.

20672. wonkers2 - 12/10/2006 5:41:18 AM

Sometimes it takes a while for the emails to come through.

That's neat.

20675. Magoseph - 12/11/2006 1:27:31 PM

Yes, I sent the link to my sons--I bet they'll use it.

Wonk, my shoes were elevated three-eighth of and inch. Doc said that my intensive jogging may be the cause of my back pain, not necessarily the fact that I carried a forty-pound bag.

So, Arky, you'll have more time to post after the holidays, right?

20676. Magoseph - 12/11/2006 1:28:07 PM

Hello, Mac!

20677. wonkers2 - 12/11/2006 4:36:00 PM

Jogging is one of the worst things you can do. It can damage your back and your knees. Walking is much better.

20678. judithathome - 12/11/2006 6:25:57 PM

Walking is much better for your knees, too.

I can speak from experience that walking, even a little each day, can do things for you. Since I started walking (and swimming has contributed to it, too) with my neighbors, I've gone down one jean size and one bra size! My weight is the same...but who cares? I look smaller!
