I have just come back from a few days away and apart from myLot (of course) I really missed my own bedroom. I had to share a bed with my son whilst away and he was all over the place. I like the way my own bed sheets smell and I...

calcynic Great point!!! Maybe Eisenhower, a very cautious man, but I'm not sure. Kennedy may have stuck his foot in it, but I was too young to have paid that much attention. From then on, though, they've all stepped on their tongues at one point or another. That's what...

calcynic I think it's a great choice. I'm back and forth on the Hillary issue...it could've meant a solid bloc of definite votes for Obama, but she's got an annoying penchant for being the main focus of attention wherever she goes. She's already trying to upstage Obama...

A bunch of us threw a birthday party for a good friend. We all are tight and we could get pretty raunchy with our humor, her included. Gag gifts were a staple at parties, followed by real gifts from the heart. We just love to get...

calcynic I guess I found out her limit. We've been a crazy crew forever, and there were no strangers at the party. I'm gonna chalk it up to experience and go back to the fly in the ice cube and the squirting flower.(God...that's boring.) Thanks for replying.

calcynic He sure did step in it with the "he's clean and articulate" brainfart. I'm sure they'll put it behind them. Remember the things Bush Sr. said about Reagan during their primary battles. It's part of the game, I guess.

Yes, it is true. There is an election coming. The choice is yours. Click the photo and take a good look. I say it is best to chose the individual who in his youth chose to be a Naval Officer and Aviator over the guy who...

calcynic I wasn't aware he was from Scranton. My people, on the Irish side were from Mahanoy City, Tamaqua, Girardville. They were coal miners and some were Molly Maguires. He's definitely from good, rugged stock. I also have a smidgen of Welsh in me...they guarded the...

calcynic I also heard a definition of a Libertarian that cracked me up. "A libertarian is simply a Republican who wants to smoke pot and get laid." Too simplistic, but funny.
