Holy write a couple of books.

She was very interested in looking at every point of view a few different ways. AND she had a pretend cat!

Do they really? The Amish, I mean. What's that show about, because I don't see how that could be true. I've seen Witness.

Lance Armstrong.......grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Can't stand him. Wanted to just jerk him up and bust his azz when he was a bratty kid. His grandfather was my minister and after his parents divorced he did get away with being a brat quit a bit of the time. His grandfather was a wonderful man, I am so glad he passed before all the doping allegations and the whole mess started. His grandfather loved him so much and was instrumental in bringing cycling to my hometown because of Lance's riding.

So you have first-hand knowledge that supports what everyone else if finally realizing! Long before the anti-doping agency came out with their report I'd been paying attention to the people who were brave enough to speak out against him. God he's a horrible bully. He was more than happy to ruin anyone who dared to tell the truth about him. I had a feeling he wasn't really telling the WHOLE truth in the Oprah interview and after seeing last week's 60 Minutes piece that was confirmed. Yet he's upset he won't be able to compete in sanctioned sports again. Boo frickin' hoo.

Here is an incredible story in the New York Times this morning relating the horrors 7 Newton police officers found at Sandy Hook that terrible morning. I'm speechless...

So I'm watching the morning news on WGN this morning and they run a clip of this woman who eats cat hair. She's been doing it for 15 years. I found the clip here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch...
I still can't watch the whole thing. It's too weird.

I won't be able to watch that but I have to ask if she does this on purpose or is it just a weird by-product of having too many cats in the kitchen?

Dear God I would never in my life guess I'd ask that question, but here I am....

It's part of Channel 9's goofy video shtick. One of their anchors looks for wacky videos on the net. I could have done without that one this morning.

Speaking of WGN.

The show is/was a train wreck that I couldn't help but watch and enjoy. I looked at some of the pages about it and they are funny in their own right. The people on the show evidently grew up in the culture and live there but they aren't practicing Amish or a Mafia shaking down/protecting Amish and running illegal buggy races....and barn fights... One guy is Mennonite and can't be a made member because of that. Ya know- like the Italian mob and Sicilians... BUT, the characters insist they are for real. The producers do another show called "Breaking Amish" (?) that's been debunked as using actors.

Beautifully written chronicle of the tragedy, as should be expected from the NY Times.

OK, I watched the Hard Core Pawn show. The squabbling brothers were hysterical. Does everybody from Chicago have that accent?

That kinda didn't make sense. After I lost my cat, I moved to a no pets complex which was the reason I didn't have another pet for a while.

Lovely avi, Dazzle.

Haven't seen Richard around lately...I wonder what he's up to?

I haven't seen the Chicago version yet but, no. I don't. My accent has been described as perfectly midwestern but that might have been before I polluted it by living down south. One of my brothers sounds like Chicago to me. IDK how that happened.

I watched the wrong one? Sheesh...well, I kind of wondered about it because there wasn't anything informative about it, like you guys were talking about. Can you tell me again which is the right one?
I don't even know what a midwestern accent sounds like! Is that a sort of twangy, nasally sound? Like Gary Sinise? lol

You didn't watch "the wrong one". It's just new and I haven't seen it yet. I think Sinise is from here but I wouldn't say his accent is typical.

I might have seen him on the street, back in the day. I woman friend of mine was an actress. We were going some place one night and she said hey to a guy in passing. Then she stops and she's all excited. She says: "Ferrerman- do you know who that was? That was So & So- the best actor in Chicago! He said 'hi' to me!"

It coulda been Sinise or William Peterson. Malkovich even. All worked in Chicago at the time but, I think it was Peterson although none of the names meant anything to me at the time.

Pawn Stars.

As far as a Chicago accent, think gangster movies. Not like Gary Sinise.

I think she only has a couple of cats and she does it on purpose. She believes it to be "a bonding experience with her cats".
