Dear Margo: When You Think You've Heard Everything ... You Haven't

Oh! And Happy Anniversary!

Dear Margo: When You Think You've Heard Everything ... You Haven't

Wow, no kidding. Not mention an entire year is a long time to nurse a grudge for something like that. What’s she like when something really important happens? I say this about people’s dogs and it applies to kids, too: There’s not a person on the planet who thinks your kids/dogs are even a fraction as adorable as you do.

Hehe! I almost said Copernicus, but I couldn’t remember if his observations had been similar to Kepler’s (just not as erratic) and whether he later changed his hypothesis. School’s been out for a while and I didn’t bother looking it up. I shall consider my hand slapped.

That’s probably why she doesn’t want kids. It’s the bride’s day. It’s supposed to be all about her.

Thanks for the info. That’s interesting. I would think anything with such high liability would have to be licensed. Do you know if there are at least standards for the home? Maybe even without licensing, a criminal record, no CPR training, a certain level of liability insurance, regulation about the home itself. There must be something governing it. I think she should investigate everything possible and drop dimes all through the city, county and state. It sounds like a tragedy waiting to happen, and despite my comments about not liking children, that doesn’t mean I want to see them neglected, mistreated, or harmed.

Back in 1574 Galileo was born. This is of note because it was during his time it was discovered that the earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. Likewise people should understand that, yes, the earth orbits the sun, not them! I keep hearing more and more plaintiff wails that amount to, "What about meeee? I didn’t get what I wanted!" It’s her sister-in-law’s wedding, it’s her decision. She asked the siblings of her future husband, one of which was her husband, to be in her wedding party. That was very thoughtful and generous, I think.

Who is in the wedding party is about people close to the bride and groom, and given that "fair is for four-year-old’s" just because one person was asked doesn’t mean you have to ask their spouse and children, too. Gee, most people smile through clenched teeth at being asked and this lady is pouting about not. There’s no pleasing people who are in me-centric orbits. And the kids? I agree with you. I dislike them at pretty much all formal occasions. And semi-formal, and casual…

The Palin Book, as Dear Margo Sees It

Are you saying that’s what happened with Palin or are you trying to make excuses for her?

Baloney.

Political Cover Stars? Spare Me! by Mr. wOw

Of course there’s a basis of support. They wanted people to buy the issue and talk about it. And…

I understand what you mean. Even at my most angry, I did not have this level of sputtering insanity about his predecessor. What’s more, the red-blooded ‘Merican ‘Publicans are historically more apt to act out, and more apt to be armed. While I never did tender my vote for president, I certainly leaned more to the Obama camp considering the VPs more than anything else because, to me, both candidates seemed to have equal chance of dying in office, and, well, my opinion of Palin is well known here.

Yep, she posed for it. She very, very carefully turned her hips and dropped her knee to get the most slimming pose for her heavy thighs (meow, I know). Then she signed the model release and went on her way. And Obama on GQ? Spare. He ain’t that hot.

Liz Smith: The Apocalypse Arrives – Is It '2012' the Movie or Is It … Sarah Palin in 2012?

I heard this recently, but can’t remember where: The only difference between truth and fiction is that fiction has to make sense. I think that about sums it up.

Liz Smith: The Apocalypse Arrives – Is It '2012' the Movie or Is It … Sarah Palin in 2012?

So it’s not so much about believing it will happen as it is hoping it will happen to relieve them of a future they neglected to plan for? Makes sense… sort of. ;)

Because like all guilty pleasures, she manages to attract as much as she repels.

I dunno. I think it’s time has passed. It took me so long to write it, I kept having to revise passages as new things happened. I eventually decided to work it back and make a point to say that it was about the way things were at the time, and just insert some footnotes. Then I started having half-pages of footnotes.

Of course you’re just dying to know, so it was/is titled "Shot on Video: My 2000 Days of Porn." Non-fiction, but reality is still all about perception. I’ve let a few people read it who, after frightened sideways glances, have said it was an easy read, very informative, very entertaining, and liked it very much.
