Well, don't it figure. I wasn't sure about the spelling, so I copied it from the news article. Should have figured they would get it wrong.

Tamara, I always referred to my ancestors as Scots-Irish, although I have to admit they drank a lot of Scotch!

At the bottom of this item, where it says "Link" in blue.

Clear identifiable pics?

I live in southeast Kentucky, where I've heard "Where are you located at?" a million times. It's a triple redundancy.

"Where are you located?" is tolerable, but "Where are you?" is all that is necessary. Still, almost every local radio ad I didn't write myself said "located at".

Adverse possession is a strange concept. When a guy bought the property next door, I found out I had been using a patch of land that belonged to the neighbors for ten years. I parked on it, cut trees down, trimmed other trees, planted a rose garden, and laid patio stones. The neighbors never said a word. They never said a word to the woman who sold the place to me, either, as she thought it was hers (she died before we found this out). She thought it was hers because her husband (who died in the 80s) planted a tree line in the 70s and told her that's where the property line was.

My lawyer and surveyor both told me I had a good case to keep that patch under the adverse possession law -but that it would cost me thousands of dollars and years in court. As the old guy who bought that land sued people for a hobby and had nothing else to do with his time, I decided it wasn't worth it. They had already bulldozed my driveway and garden within a few days of the sale.

That patch and the whole plot is still a vacant lot, and I had to build a new driveway. Sigh. I've had that place for sale for three years now and no takers.

Hey, an eagle's gotta land somewhere. It may not be a sign from heaven, but can't it be just a neat photo?

I looked it up: IFC is a cable TV channel.

If you've ever done wax hair removal at home, you already know the results of this experiment.

Craig, Ryan, settle down. Let it go.

I thought churidar were closer to Hammer pants, and what Jasmine is wearing here is more like salwar, or harem pants.

I knew it reminded me of someone, and now that you mention it....

We don't even have a land line. But there are enough cell phones among all my kids to always have at least one that can call the others!

Because Nag on the Lake is a great blog, and we'd like to introduce more people to it.

Not something you'd do just for kicks, but look at it from the vet's point of view. This is an alternative to a long drawn-out fight with a cat who doesn't want to be examined or take medicine, which could result in injured people, spilled medicine, and a overly-traumatized cat.
