Miss Cellania's Comments

ted, I like good boys, too, but there aren't any on this list. In reality, I'm not even familiar with most of them, since I don't watch enough TV.

Shane here is a cop. Really.

mie, I think it's like this: shove the blanket inside the cover, line up one edge of the blanket with the open edge of the cover, and hold the edges together. Then shake the whole thing while holding the one edge straight until the blanket lines up to the available space inside.

Now I feel old. I never thought of this as a Celine Dion song. I think of it as a Jennifer Rush song that Air Supply covered.

Just like I still consider I Will Always Love You a Dolly Parton song. Because I am old.

Sigh. Didn't we have this argument last year? Maybe that was at another site. Publishers use one space; typing teachers tell students to leave two spaces. Never the twain shall meet.

I never took a typing class, so I always did it the way publishers do it. When I started editing Neatorama, I would actually take double spaces out of other writer's posts. I gave that up. No one is going to change the way they were taught; that's why many word processors are programmed to take out the second space.

My husband watched the movie musical Across the Universe this morning. I walked in as they were talking to some girl named Prudence and said, "Oh, she's just named that so they can sing that song to her. I bet we meet Sadie, Martha, and Lucy before it's over."

I was right about most of it.

I'm with Zeezaxa. If you don't want a child, let someone else who loves and wants children do it. I'd take the baby in immediately, and so would plenty of other people.

The mother would still have grounds for a malpractice suit, but it shouldn't affect the child.

I was thrown out of the movie theater once as a child for acting up. That was a permanent lesson in being mindful of people around me. Is that not standard procedure anymore?

You know, I think the anger about taxes is a symptom of a deeper problem, in that people resent working so hard when others don't. And those "others" are represented by the rich and the poor.

The largest groups of poor people are children and the elderly, but angry folks only see the unemployed, disabled, mothers of young children, drug addicts, unskilled, unhealthy, undereducated, and those who are not too smart or can't catch a break. And they are blamed for their inability to work. Even poor people who work are looked at as "not working hard enough."

Rich people are resented because they aren't struggling. They may work, but they don't break a sweat and they don't have to hold down two jobs to get by.

American working people in the middle are putting in too many hours, giving up vacations, holding down two jobs, and worrying about everything, because they can easily be replaced by one of the many, many unemployed people. And people stay in jobs they hate because of the health insurance.

Americans work too much. European companies must hire more people because they have mandated vacations, contracted working hours, paid maternity leave, and various quality-of-life laws. If we could level out the amount of work, we'd have fewer people unemployed and less stress for those who work. And probably less resentment and class warfare. But that would be an extra expense for business, and business influences law here in the U.S.
