Trudy, if only this West Indian could have one job, now that my research for my sister is done.
You will.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I just sent that Maine marriage equality video to my mom. Her opinion is that gay people should have the right to all the legal rights that marriage provides, but she doesn't like using the word "marriage." We'll see how this goes.

That seems to be a pretty common sentiment in people older than 55 or so and non-existent any younger.

I love that sarameg gets pedicures still. I feel like my work here is done.
I went to the library and paid $10.05 in fines and another $6 to replace the library cards that got lost with my wallet.
Went to yoga today. And partially finished a dress I'm sewing. I also took a long nap (yay nap!)
I think we're going to the aquarium tomorrow. I hope so because right after we'll go and have the really yummmy fish tacos!

My mom's on the same wavelength as yours, Hil. My sister and I spoke with her about gay marriage last year, and she was all for civil unions and legal rights, but no using the word "marriage" for any such unions. Kris and I argued that she was playing with semantics, but she stayed firm.

I did get Mom to giggle when I was telling her about the Beaker "Ode to Joy" video at YouTube, and the "Habanera" one as well. Her Comcast connection was pretty spotty when I was out there in July (the audio was fine, but the video was a string of still photos instead of smoothly moving images), but I'm hoping her new computer she got last week has fixed that problem.
My niece and nephew love to show Mom new stuff on the computer when they come over--she wants to show them these videos.

Hah! Truth be told, it's probably only my 4th in the past year, but it is becoming a habit. Last one was a month ago.

I think its more emotional than semantic (it is with the people I know). I'm not saying that their feelings are rational... it just seems like a visceral thing.
Whoopie Goldberg had that short-lived sitcom a few years ago. Her brother (I think) was marrying a man and every time they said "Husband" about each other or the officiant said "husband and husband" she cracked up.
The sentiment seems just old-fashioned to me.

I'm trying to find a clip on YouTube. There isn't much from that show and a bunch of it is in German. Who'd a thunk it?
