I think Rosie Perez is smart and like you mentioned, she's kind and generous too. I'm sure being new to a show like this takes some getting used to and she's trying to get into a groove.

I'd like to hear Barbara Walters say "May the odds be ever in your favor and take a little time to enjoy the view!"

When I was a kid and saw this, I didn't get why Tess kept trying to change the way she spoke. I grew up in NJ, across from Staten Island, and she sounded fine to me. Then I went away to college and realized I was the one who sounded funny. For a little while I tried to lose my accent. Everytime I did, I saw the scene…

One of my uncles is the funniest guy he knows. One night, I met him for dinner at a restaurant in Boston. Before we sat down we had a few drinks and got a little buzzed. By the time we were seated the place was quiet and we pretty much had our waitress to ourselves. She was wonderful! Very attentive, knew the menu…

I'd love to hear some of your stories!

This happened to me. My brother and I briefly shared an apartment and the guy who worked in the dry cleaner we used thought he was my boyfriend. I took in some things the day before I was going away to visit our parents and my future sister in law was coming for a visit with my brother. He asked when I needed my stuff…

Actually, where the wedding was held is pretty formal. Shorts weren't ok.

My brother and sister in law got married in Disney World in July a few year ago. My uncle and a family friend of my sister in law each asked if shorts and golf shirts were ok. The Dads wore tuxes but the male guest wore summer suits and the women mostly were in dressier sundresses.

I'm excited for Christmas too! The other night I couldn't help it and listened to A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack. I can't wait for the night before Thanksgiving when I don't feel silly playing my Christmas playlist around other people.

Oh wow! I've always wanted to go to Germany for Christmas and those markets look like so much fun. I hope you both have a great time. Fill us in on the trip when you get back?

The show with mob boss is "Lilyhammer". I've never watched it but my Dad loves it.

I was going to comment on that too. I felt horrible for Elizabeth Vargas and couldn't believe how cruel Barbara Walters was.

That's interesting and so crazy. Give us an update in October, please! One of my favorite stories my Granma told was when she was working in Manhattan in the late 40's and all the other girls were engaged. She felt left out so she bought a ring at Woolworth's, told all the girls she was engaged, and brought in a…

Ok! We were in the lobby waiting to go into the theater and this guy gets on the microphone to tell everyone when the doors open, go in, all the way to the and of the row. No one was listening and the lobby was pretty loud, so he starts yelling, telling everyone to be quiet and saying over and over "IT'S MY TIME NOW!…

I've never seen anything like this happen but always wanted to. I did see an employee have a huge breakdown in the hall of presidents once.

I've had eyelid swelling on and off for about a year. The upper and lower lids swelled, my eye ran, and I had a red mark that ran from the corner of my eye to almost my cheek. I went to see an eye doctor who seemed unsure of what to do. He gave me a prescription for a cream and some drops in case me eye felt…

I will never complain about the customer who threw a cappuccino at me again.

That should be interesting. I'm sure I'll watch. I loved the Mary Martin version when I was a kid.

It's awful. I never heard of it before either. Hopefully, I never have to deal with it again.

Thank you! I hope your daughter is doing better too. Poor kid!
