Indeed!

I've heard of "death by chocolate," but this is ridiculous.

Maybe by now I’m just getting to be too old to worry about it anymore. Besides, I like semi-sweet and milk chocolate.

Nice of 'em to work that in.

It’s not about a piece of fabric. Although I do understand people’s needs for symbols.

I think gluttony is one of the capital sins.

As in bigness and badness. It’s been a LONG time since Catholic school. Looked it up. There it is.

I'm not at all surprised. And I'm gratified.

We SHOULD love and cherish and work relentlessly to protect this precious, delicate little orb that’s the only home and haven we have in that impossibly vast darkness.

Let us NEVER become so arrogant, so full of ourselves, that we allow ourselves to forget that. If I’m allowed only one prayer, this would be it.

Love that!

It’s a good sport for kids. They learn an excellent philosophy - ironically all about wisdom and nonviolence.

My kids benefited enormously. All the kids did. Learning the yin and yang - about power and self-control.

LOVE that show!

Stay IN. Stay WARM.

She sure does like those big dangly earrings.

An affectation, I guess. To get noticed.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
