Blonde Gator - the "Giada" showed up on this computer which I'm using at the Library - and there are a number of things that don't seem to be too bad that the Library computer won't show.

The difference between Food Network Star and the (few) other competition shows I watch is that I can only judge the contestants by what they say and do and not what they cook. I can watch Project Runway and make my own judgement - and sometimes wonder what the judges were smoking when they (or the producers) made their choice. I can't taste what the contestants made on Star or Top Chef.

Charities could not do their work without volunteers but they also need paid staff which needs to be paid a decent wage.

When Aretha sang the song - and spelled out the word - I don't remember it ending with a K.

The People's Court is the only court show I have scheduled to record. What I hate about it - aside from Harvey - is Judge M saying to grab the nearest toilet paper and crayon to write a receipt. I know she means that you don't have to have anything fancy in order to write a receipt but I DO NOT want to have any toilet paper that is stiff enough to be written on.

Friendly fire means the fire came from your side instead of the enemy's.

I live in a condo and there aren't very many rules - just basic good manners and common sense. There are only 19 buildings and 72 units - 16 4 units, 2 3 units, and 1 2 units. Whatever you do to the inside of your place is fine - the outside belongs to the Association - although there are no rules about what you can plant in the front or behind your unit. I downsized from a three-story (full basement and two floors) and did not want to have to deal with a yard anymore.
