I am so looking forward to a clear day in TX so I can see one total solar eclipse before I die. People who do not appreciate the wonders of nature should have rain on their parade.

I, on the other hand, was taught in a speaker class and as a teacher never to do that. By rating a question "good," the implication is that other questions aren't. The end result is that some members of your audience may feel diminished.

I understand your predicament. I've used walkers, canes and wheelchairs. Most of the world is not made for people with disabilities. However, a lot of caring persons do make allowances and are very courteous. On my recent trip to NYC I never had to stand on a bus or subway car. Someone always...

In Canada they'd have to have a CDA in place. @TJPC Does Canada have a similar legislation?

I saw the only working one left in Manhattan when I visited in June. It was left there for Superman.

So there are no men poets?

Cerulean.

When people believe teal and blue are synonyms.

And you gotta do what works for you.

DVD Profiler follows the rule, thank heavens. Otherwise you would have a million titles starting with those definite and indefinite articles!

The/A/An are never the beginning of alphabetized titles. Learned it in grammar school, in both Spanish and English. Later, when I studied other languages, I learned the same rule applied.

There's such a thin line between life and death. I feel for both of you. My condolences, Terry. At least David's experience ended well.

Then all we can do is wish you luck and a safe landing.

That's tough! Do you, at least, get a decent package?

Bummer for all of the above. Happy birthday regardless. And thank you for writing "sprang" instead of "sprung." Spring, Sprang, Sprung, that's what I was taught in school.

Today, December 25, is the First Day of Christmas, not the Twelfth. The Twelve Days of Christmas end on January 5. That's why Shakespeare's play is called Twelfth Night; it takes place on Jan. 5. I know it's a losing battle, but Christmas begins on Christmas Day!

I don't disagree. I've seen your list of 1960 greats. But I like 1932: the year that the movies finally shook off the shackles of the "early" talkies curse and became an art form distinct and as great as the late silent period.

I've never parroted that myth.

Self-checkout lanes are evil. You do the work for the store and they eliminate a salaried employee earning a s--t wage. But at least that worker is not on welfare. Figure it out.

Mke, I also miss Andy Su and his amazing cat, Sooty.

Bless you! I'm a retired manager who saw your kind of work ethic eroded throughout my career by some of the younger, "entitled" workers.

Slave labor?

You heard wrong about gas prices in TX.

You left yourself wide open on that one!:D

As I stated, respected leaders present bills; this doesn't mean these bills are passed. But the fact that these bills are presented is still cause for concern. And we know how much weight words carry on paper.

In TX, our respected leaders have repeatedly presented bills abolishing critical thinking from the school curricula. We do promote stupidity.
