I applaud that you were/ are able to appreciate the upside. Had that been me... not so much.

Why do you deny yourself one of life’s greatest pleasures? Let me guess... because of people like me. Whatever the reason, you do you. I have my fair share of films I’ve never seen, and have no desire to do so at anytime in the future.

This is a tough one. I do wish she felt she could tell someone at the time of the attack; and, I wonder how old she was when it happened, if he threatened her, did he even apologize, and did he continue to be a heavy drinker... The way she describes her sister’s relationship with the husband, and the fact that she is…

Yes. I would very much like to know the statistics regarding the latter. It would be great to see whether or not I have invested wisely in repairing my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with over 200,000 miles. It has had it’s share of problems over the last 10 years, but reliability is its middle name. She has never left me…

Why, yes... it is.

I feel you, man.

Well, I for one found it a welcome exchange; so much so, I had occasion to butt in a time or two myself; for which I apologize, and thank you both for having me.

Obviously (comma) I’m with you!

... with the period after Jesus as quiet acknowledgement or resignation; as opposed to, “Jesus! You use a lot of commas.” ... with exclamation point as amazement, or exasperation... says the peanut gallery.

I have a fondness for both commas, and semi-colons!

I applaud all those you opinionate with for their patient and intelligent engagement. However, among other comments that gave me pause, I would appreciate some clarification regarding the following:

Uhmmm... writers for The Bold and the Beautiful; and parents of successful baseball players!

Give it some time...

“... they have the natural ability to sing with emotion.”

Better late than never:

Agreed. I mean, there is a time and place for everything; but, does she still have her job?

There was an awesome time, way back when, when Stargate SG-1, Farscape, and Stargate Atlantis use to make-up SyFy Fridays. My friend would always wonder why I would never leave before a certain time. I wouldn’t leave until after Farscape, and by the time I got home, the repeat of Atlantis would usually be on. Well,…

That was my concern, and I told him as much... and that he shouldn’t be obligated to accept it, and to feel free to tell me to go to hell. But, he seemed to really appreciate it, as if it were right on time. It’s good pizza, not from a chain, people love it. They look at me like I’m crazy when I throw it away...

Big Valley, another fave.

I don’t have myself a mister right now, but I think of them kind of in a brotherly-neighborly way — if we were roomies, that pizza would be gone! It just so happens he’s just across the hall.
