Sheesh-- and long too. I don't know these folks but I'm guessing "stirring up the pot" is a regular part of life for some of them. jj Hi Jane, Those were some comments! Sheesh– and long too.

Once we start curbing what we say to 'please' we might as well start drawing daisies with sidewalk chalk! Screw 'em I say... delicately and with a soft southern drawl!

But I couldn't comment on last week's MLB post because it was about one of my least favourite subjects: American television. (Full disclosure: it is likely that even if I had ever heard of the show or the characters -- and I had not -- I probably would not have been interested.) As for pit bulls (banned in England under the Dangerous Dogs Act) and chihuahuas, now there is a topic. I am hieing me right on over to the Elk Grove Patch. See ya there.
