To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old time is still a flying, And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying. The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he's a getting, The sooner will his race be run, and nearer he's to setting. That age is best which is first, When youth and blood are warmer; But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former. Then be not coy, but use your time, And, while ye may, go marry; For, having lost but once your prime, You may forever tarry. Robert Herrick, 1591-1674

Crust is where pizza starts, it doesn't matter what's on top or how much cheese or any of that. If the crust isn't good the toppings, sauce and cheese are all wasted. The sauce should be flavorful, but not necessarily red, we love pesto for the base sauce and in some cases no sauce at all, just toppings, is fine too. Toppings should be inventive, artichoke, smoked salmon, etc. Pepperoni & sausage just gets so boring. Deep dish is good, but only if you are really in the mood for it, it is just so filling.

I don't get it. The article has nothing to do with what you are talking about. All the health care professionals I know do what they do and spent the long hours getting there because they love what they do. There are cheats and scoundrels, but they are the rare exception not the rule as you suggest. People do need to get help and especially from professionals and especially in the mental health area where not enough people seek help for fear of being stigmatized.

No, it is Roquefort, Stilton or Gorgonzola if you have taste.

Never, ever fall asleep at the beach around friends with sick senses of humor. Radiation can do baaad things with help from a stencil.

Ummm ever heard of a ski cap?

Not every bad decision a kid makes is the parent's fault, but I would say consistent bad decisions are. It means the parents failed to instill their values in the kid.

Clerks of course. Badges? We don't need no stinking badges.

I've never read the CAP series or any of the continuations of it. I first read the Belvidera series because my husband and I are huge Patrick O'Bryan fans and I am stunned by Mr. Arbour's ability to present the feel of below decks and a battle in such realistic manner just like O'Bryan does and he isn't bashful about putting a cannonball or a giant splinter through a cute young midshipman, just like it happened in real life. My DH found On the Mark and made me read it and I was blown away by it. I know he wants Mark to finish that story because he wants to know what became of that young man. Despite DH's battles with Mr. Arbour on other fronts we both enjoy his writing.

9999 times out of 10,000 I would say MLB shouldn't have over turned this, but this is the one instance where they can and not change the outcome of the game. If it had been the first or second out of the 9th inning it wouldn't even be an argument because you would have had to replay the game from that point, BUT since it was the last out and it wouldn't effect anything else, they should overturn it and award the perfect game because in fact he did pitch a perfect game. I seem to recall games where the official scorer changed hits to errors and vice versa long after the game because they didn't effect the outcome.

****Disclaimer***** I only watch Glee because the two other members of my household insist I do. That being said.... one thinks Rachel is a good singer until you hear her "mom". When you hear an Idina Menzel sing you understand the difference between really good and over the top greatness.

So I finished all 19 chapters and some things confused me. Jonathan & Christian had a chance to do whatever they wanted in tree house and yet didn't even get down to the skivvies but a couple of days later do it in broad daylight? Jonathan is paranoid about what will happen when his dad figures out what is between him and Christian, but yet at school is okay being touchy feely. And I don't think Christian's parents will win parents of the year. They rip their kids away from where they were and move some place without jobs, their senior in high school daughter gets pregnant in two months or less at the new school and their son has been in trouble at school a couple of times and been in a fight. I also think the mother and sister are way too pushy, leave the damn boy alone. The mother as a psychologist should understand teens needs for space. My sex talk with my father was in 6th grade, not my sophomore year of HS which would have been waaaaaaaaaaaay too late and it was about the mechanics, but the consequences, the 'why wait', the emotional aspects, etc. Of course he had no idea I was gay, but then neither did I in 6th grade. The story is enjoyable, I hope those chapters get cranked out.

Thanks, the hard part was getting there It is a decent hike up.

I make a lovely pate.....
