    Here's a GREAT peeve...

    Ken Starr, the prosecutor that went after Bill Clinton has asked Ahr-nold
    to pardon a moron who is on death row......

    Why?


    Because he apologized for the murders.

    "I am sorry...."

    Those three little words that make everything all right.

    So, if BC had apologized, Starr would have backed off?

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    Jimmy Geton???

    As we were growing up the "idiot line" was "let me get on a -------"
    a variant of the "let me have a ------".

    It sounded like people we asking for Jimmy Geton......and a star was born!

    Judging by what Attorney General Gonzalez told the senate the other day.....Washington and Lincoln used electronic eavesdropping during wartime....electricity must have been around before old Ben discovered it!

    Normally I don't mention peeve, but.....my husband has the habit of responding ...."what do you mean _________." Example. When I was sitting up at 4:30 in the morning reading a book I answered his question as to why. He responded..."what do you mean you can't sleep?"

    How do I answer that??????? How many different things can "not sleep" mean????

    ES- Don does that? How funny. I would think it is his reflexive comment, used to buy a few moments, when necessary, and now a habit.

    My peeve? I listen to AM radio pretty exclusively- except when I throw a musical nonsensical CD in for the wee one. So, I hear phone call after phone call on the early morning callins. My peeve? You call a talk radio show, proportedly to make a comment- and spend the next 60 seconds umming and ahhing, without a single, coherent, logically flowing sentence? Shoot, forget the sentence! I will go with even 4 words strung together that represent a point!

    I'm sorry, I had to laugh. But trust me, it was a laugh of experienced understanding!

    Exactly! That's all you can say. And then, you fumble around and in your head you're thinking "What the crap? How am I supposed to further explain, or define, my lack of sleep? This is not making any sense." (That's what goes through my head.) Also, it irritates me when I say something and people repeat what I just said. Like, if I said I can't sleep and my husband says, "You can't sleep?" as if he has to double check. Um, yeah. That's what I just said.
