He is retiring! Thank the Lord. He has decided not to run for re election. Could it be the new redistricting in Massachusetts? I don't really care, I am just happy to hear it.

hofferp Like I said, one of our senators is retiring. Hopefully, we'll be able to replace him with someone better. The other one isn't up for election and I'm really ready for him to go. Our congressman is pretty conservative (the environmentalists don't like him, but...

I actually have ex-in-laws and they are great friends of mine. Where my ex-husband falls short (which is most times), they are there for me. They are outstanding grandparents to my daughter, and great friends to me. How do you...

hofferp I think they were both "right" and "wrong", but there's a whole lot more to the story. It's been a few years and it still rubs my sister. But we're still spending Thanksgiving together.

Occupiers in Washington are now "occupying" an empty building. Saying that it is now under community control. If this is private property then I would say hell no. But it isn't. It is owned by the city. The protesters inside are...

hofferp Are we sure they're residents or people brought in (from NYC, other areas of the country...) to "occupy" Washington? In any case, I don't believe anyone has the "right to occupy" private (unless it's his/hers) or public property. Public property belongs to...

hofferp Technically...yes. But I have a feeling your and my money has bought a few DC assets. Now if it was Detroit, probably not. But would there even be a DC if the fed wasn't there???

hofferp Well, spring would be good for a vacation...but the chili isn't ready until late July-August. But then we might be able to buy last year's frozen stuff in March/April. Sounds like a really good vacation!

hofferp Well, first, it would only be the cost of chili and the gas to get here. The rest would be on me. Now, we could go to the fields and pick our own, and roast our own, and peal/package our own, but over the last few years, I've found it much easier to buy sacks...

hofferp I'm with you, Rollo. I'd get as many students as I could to shout "Amen", but I wouldn't wait for the toss of the caps. The minute the superintendent/principal introduced himself/herself, we'd all yell "Amen", and if it got that far, we'd yell "Amen" to...

hofferp Yeah, maybe, after he's not President (I hope starting 2013), he can be in Hangover Part III? I heard he killed the deal to be in Arnie's next Terminator film.

hofferp The decision to wait until school is out is a good one, I think. They'll have the summer to try and understand and know you (and R, although he's being a "pain") love them. The divorce is between you and R, not you (or R) and the kids. Wishing you the...

hofferp I watched the video. I hadn't seen it, but I did recognize the song, and I think I was even watching "So You Think You Can Dance", when she sang it last fall. Appears she's got a new album coming out in May...so I guess she's still a "being".
