Shouldn't be embarrassed. This is a straw poll. Could be some who would be offended, hard to say, because being offended seems to be a new cottage industry.

FWIW, I wouldn't dream of calling someone a Limey, unless they were a very close friend, and I knew they wouldn't take offense. That might seem contradictory, but I still wouldn't.

Doesn't bother me a bit. I'm not easily offended.

I don't recall if there was ever discussion about her finances, but she has been employed for many years, and at a pretty high income level I would think, and lives with her sister, so no rent or mortgage or property tax bill. Savings account? I know, that makes too much sense, so that can't be it, lol. Some cloak and dagger explanation I'm sure.

Data mining is out of control. I guess it's the price for being online. I don't think I have the aptitude for setting up a VPN, but I sure wish I did. That comes with some inconveniences as well though.

Even my kitties are getting rather impatient waiting for Spring. Onyx goes to the front door sidelight and paws the glass when the sun is shining, as I always open it for her in the warmer months, so she can lay in the morning sun on the area rug in the foyer. She sees the sun and can't understand why I'm not opening the door for her. This morning it was 28 degrees. Her sister Pearl keeps dancing around in circles at the door to the screened porch at about 4pm, when the afternoon sun is streaming in. I open the door, she shakes her front paws (they always do this when entering cold air - anyone know why?), walks out and sniffs the air. About two minutes later, she's pushing her way back through the door to come in. Kitties and Mommy are getting rather impatient and a little crabby this year. C'mon Spring!

Help out a yank...ping?

That was a completely producer-contrived "relationship" to begin with. Never believed that either of them had any interest in the other, at all.

And that she thought it was somehow endearing. On behalf of redheads everywhere, she is not the prototype!

The worst! Willing to bet that marriage is already over.

I recall that we couldn't really buy workout wear that wasn't made with this "french cut". Ugh. To me they reek of desperation, lol.

Or the NY Times.

You better sing it sister!

We're talking about the swimsuit now, right?

Oh for heaven's sake, lol. Originality challenged parents, lol.

They shouldn't really be bashed for it. It is pure marketing. They'd be fools not to do it. It is the reason the RH shows exist...to enable people to sell the crap they do in real life.

There really should be aptitude tests for people before they procreate.

I stand corrected. After reading that piece, this photo is shown, with the caption "What Kind of Mom is Erika Girardi? The RHOBH Newbie Reveals Her Parenting Style". The photo doesn't leave much to the imagination now does it? How all of these offspring aren't damaged is a mystery of life. Or, maybe they are.

Similar attitudes and personal aesthetics, that's for sure.

I was sure I had read that we shouldn't stop feeding birds when the winter weather breaks. I feed mine year round, though I will admit that I don't fill the feeders as often, or use as much variety after winter's close. I need to work on this. I typically will not offer suet during the warm months, mostly because it's messy and melty, and I don't think they need the fat for insulation in warm months. Here are a couple of links pertaining to 'backyard' bird feeding, that you may find helpful. http://www.audubon.org/news/to-feed-or-not-feed http://www.10000birds.com/when-is-it-time-to-stop-feeding-birds.htm

ymw!

Whoa Nelly, hang on there. There's bored and then there's bored. Don't get crazy now.

Wow, I didn't get that impression at all. He's a grown man who is a Los Angeles police officer I thought? Orrr, I've lost my mind. It's a toss up.

April Flowers. Oh boy. There is a Jason Day from Australia that is a terrific golfer.
