Re: Jigsaw Puzzles

When I was in college I had a girlfriend that got me started on them, and it was great fun. Years later I met my future wife, and I found that she loved puzzles even more. However, it took about 10 minutes to figure out that her method of putting puzzles together didn't mesh with mine and we couldn'...

Re: I did something I thought I'd never do..

I have had to stop following a couple of sports writers because morons would attack them repeatedly, then th...

Re: FOR THOSE OF US OF A CERTAIN AGE

I don't think Pogo was in the Sherman paper so I didn't read it as a kid. I remember seeing it in random other papers.

Re: 40 saddest C&W songs

I only knew 12 of them, and I've listened to country off and on my entire life. An aside: not long after I got married, I was telling my wife about Johnny Cash's "Sunday Morning Coming Down," and I sang the line of, "The beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for desse...

Re: Today in Texas History - November 13

You aren't alone. I would have said it was LeVias as well.

This caused me to go to LeVias's wiki page and it was a really good read. Thanks again for posting these.

Is that what annoys me so much about those commercials? Geez, I hate them so much.
