    Not to pick nits, Smokey, but why would the White Star Line, a British entity in an integrated society sailing from the UK, refuse passage to someone because of the color of their skin?

    Neither the home port nor the port of destination had Jim Crow laws.

    The US is going to scatter thousands of rose petals over the Titanic wreck site on the 15th. I think that is nice. Always been facinated with the Titanic. I would have loved to have seen her before she wrecked. Not been on her when she sank though.

    I'd love a cherry rootbeer please? hold the iceberg.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Well...true. It's still a fun song, though. "I just carry it!"

    Stopping in for a second.


    I heard that a memorial cruise starting from the UK had to turn back to port because a passenger had heart problems..

    Does that mean his heart would not go on?

    I also heard that Kate Winslet did an interview where she said that she wants to 'toss cookies' when she hears Celine Dion sing the the theme song from the movie.

    People play it in KW's honor when ever she shows up at a function.

    Talk about typecasting?

    Over by the pond? Do peach trees like wet feet? Or in the front years, as they are so pretty when they blossom in the spring - and that would give you another obstacle to mow around!

    Ain't I helpful? (Not!!!)

    By the way, if any of you are gardeners, I get offers through email for sales and discounts at Michigan Bulb - that carries all sorts of plants and shrubs besides bulbs, and Gurney's Seed company - I'd be happy to share those with you all, as I do not have any place to garden at the moment!
