As Lilly Tomlin said in her act:

"I should have been more specific."

Puritanical bullshit...

Go perform self reproduction you hypocrites.

Maybe she and her partner have a deal as does the other person. Mind your own business.

I love talking about the dogs I've had in my life. My favorite was Ranger. He'd been turned into the shelter 3 times by previous owners who could not deal with his sense of humor. I was his fourth (and final!) roommate. I am over 6' tall and when he stood up with his paws on my shoulder we were eye to eye. What a fun pal he was. His favorite sport was to use his trouser-spoiling bark on humans. What a helluva door bell he made!!! Ranger was my entertainment system. We live in rural Maine so he had a lot of freedom to live a dog's life. Porcupines, skunks, deer, ticks, rotting fish to roll in.

My cat Camille on the other hand has one function that is useful to me. She controls the rodent population. Other than that none of her antics, such as eating a dish of food and then puking it from the rafters, amuse me.

I miss Ranger but I don't miss the landmines he left in the yard. Maybe I'll get another dog someday but not today.

...flying over us. We raise our glasses to STOLI BLAKBERI and roll our eyes upward.

Thank VOD,ka

p.s.

I like tomreedtoon. Keep doing what you do tom. Keep Heather honest.

My first memory of the Celtics at the "Gahden" is watching Jungle Jim Luscotoff put in a lay-up. The Boston team has always had a physical style of play. What happened last night is what has happened very often to LA in Boston. Fast-break vs. half-court.

Dana, you're trying to play a boy's game. Give up, will you? It is not necessary to appologize for being a woman.

Boston beat LA last night. Pissing and moaning will not change that. See you on Sunday evening here.

Esther, is this you????

New England will win the coin toss; score on several brilliant plays.

Cleveland will receive and be manhandled by New England's defense. However the Browns will progress down the field due to "roughing the passer" penalties that will result in an infinitely decreasing geometric progression which leaves the football on the 1 millimicrometer line at the end of the game.

You can take it to the bank.

We share an interest in Catherine Deneuve...hmmmmmm.

The LW in every case asks us readers to make a judgement based on our own experiences and/or mores. How revealing all around!

I am not married. I have made attempts twice to be part of a couple called "married". I can't do it. I am in my late 60's and I enjoy the freedom to see who I want. It is easier for me to live alone and have as many friends as I like. Sometimes I wonder if I am "strange" and always I conclude I am "human". Pick a life style and enjoy it.

Eyesight leads to looking, looking leads to smiling, leads to talking, leads to touching and smiling, leads to leaning in and murmuring, leads to delicious anticipation, leads to the rest. Where to stop? Be your own judge and live with it. If this is your style make sure those with whom you interact are fully aware of it. No lies, no secrets.

If one makes a bond with one other person honor it with truth and openness.

Sounds like fun to me.

Maybe increase the effect with a water bed?

A cd of whale songs?

If not; get hearing protectors for yourself and duct tape for her. Kinky...

Well, folks...

a way of diverting my attention from the mundane is to read the posts on this and other features of Salon. Tom and aka and others write some fun and interesting things often and I really like to read Heather's opening commentary. I know she loves her kid and to call it a pet monkey is a real laugher. Sort of crude and disrespectful...the kid will grow up and read that some day and think, "man, my mom was a freak! Cool!"

I don't get any tv except for nbc, abc, cbs, and pbs. In fact we only have dial-up here in my village on the salty coast of Maine. I don't think I would have as much fun if I had the 250 channel cable box; just insane choices. To read your (you all, that is)commentary saves a lot of time in my case.

Just to let you know my voyeurism starts in a different place and you are it. That is all; carry on...
