My daughter was the only person in her entire school system with her name. It is old fashioned and not common in the US.

But Venus is really pretty cool. I don't hate unusual names at all. Venus, however, is neither made up or trendy. It is old fashioned in the extreme, when you come right down to it.

I don't disagree, but consider this:
They are all nice, pretty and non-embarrassing names. They are not stripper names. They are names that will not get in the way of a professional career.

I read it and saw no reason to not pity her.
And it's double quotes, not single.

Well, I loathe and detest thongs with a fiery passion. Nothing is better than white cotton undies in hip hugger form.
The butt is gently cradled in cotton. The vagina gets mucho air circulation. All is right with the world.

No. In big cities, cops do that dirty job for everyone.

I knew my husband for far less than a year when I married him. I knew he was tall, highly intelligent, and kind. I knew he was work-oriented, but not horribly ambitious. I knew he was good to his mother. I knew he wanted kids.
I didn't need to know anything else besides the fact that we got along well physically.
We've…

I think it's because you live in a big city area that you see old dudes with young wives. It's still considered gross around where I live. Older men, rich or otherwise, marry women their own age out here in flyover country.

Conservatives, especially Southern ones, are extremely divorce prone.

Thrifty gardening eludes me. I don't have the knack for it. There are people who successfully save seeds and cuttings year after year, but a lot of gardeners, like me, lavish money on their plots.

I agree that we are going to see her a lot, and, I, for one, welcome her world domination.
Although I did worry that she seemed tired on Jon Stewart. Sorry, the mother in me never shuts up. I want to make her soup and sit and watch Buffy episodes with her.

I buy new potato sets each year, I have to grow tomatoes anew each year. Same with squash, etc.

Mr. Lurk thinks he's walked on the wild side if he sees a bare boob on Boardwalk Empire. That's our idea of "adult entertainment."

It's not weird! It's lucky! I adore hounds in all their glory, just not the stink.
And lots of people like puppy smell.

I'm middle aged and won't mock you. While I'm pretty sure Mr. Lurk has see a few naughty videos and pics in his life, I believe he is not what you'd call a consumer of porn.
That's a young man's game, for the most part. Plus, you know, dudes born in the '60s seem to remain thrilled that they are actually getting laid.…

Wow! I adore doxies, but they smell almost as bad as beagles and bassets, and beagles and bassets smell like Hell's Nursing Home.

I've seen so many funny images on this thread, but for some reason, this is making me giggle like crazy. Thank you!
