    Watching Canadian Idol tonight I discovered that Tom Jones is from the UK. All these years and I never knew that.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Tom Jones is actually Welsh, from a mining family (I think he was a miner too, for a bit!)

    RE: the closed captioning - that is done by a type of speech-to-text recognition software. Computer examples are Dragon Dictate, ViaVoice (Mac), etc.

    So the program just spells out what it "hears"....lol

    the very hardest part about being a mom to a toddler is when you are sick. I am sick, very very ill. Today is a hard day and i just want it to be evening when Mark comes home from work.

    Today, across my homeland of Wales, the flag is being raised to commemorate the proclamation of my Welsh hero,
    Owain Glyndwr, as Prince more than 600 years ago.
