We've been in our current house for 5 years now. We get between 150 and 300 kids, depending on what day of the week Halloween has fallen on. This is the first year we left the lights off and didn't play. Last year did us in. We had kids in their street clothes say "give some some candy", p...

I also agree with S.G.H.-NO teacher deserves that kind of B.S., and I hope that b--ch of a mother does some jail time over this. Wasn't it the teacher who beat up the mother in this case? My mother teaches at a high school. She is underpaid and definitely doesn't get the respect she deserves, but s...

We'll add her to our list of soldiers to keep in our thoughts and prayers. May all of our sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, or just friends and neighbors, come home healthy and safe.

WHAT?????? Steaks in a fry pan????? Deer or elk ok. But a good well marbled beef steak.. no way. Grill it outside. Sorry, I must respectfully disagree. I'm a die-hard griller, but when it comes to steaks, nothing but the cast iron will do. Agreed. We preheat our cast iron to NASA hot in a 500 degre...

Re: SIRIUS Radio Station

Not sure if people already know about this or not, but just in case: I have Dish Network and just realized I get SIRIUS Radio through my TV. Anyway, channel 97 is called "Vacation" and plays some great stuff. Since yesterday I have heard lots of Buffett, plus steelbands, Belafonte, soca, ...

Re: Fender Skirts...

Most of these words go back to the '50s, but here's a pure-'60s word I came across the other day - "rat fink." Ooh, what a nasty put-down! THANK YOU! There is a local jewelers called Finks. They put up billboards that say "It's a Fink's diamond." I think that's terrible, but no ...

Maybe that's smart advertising. Announce you're gonna open something with Margaritaville in the name. Wait until you get your cease and desist letter from the lawyers and then name your place whatever you'd intended to name it anyway. (because you can't have really thought it would fly with Margarit...

I always figured you had to follow the same kind of guidelines for a live song as a recorded one. Although, I suppose it makes sense. Otherwise there couldn't be so many cover bands.

Copyright issues, that's why not! You have to remember that both Hot, Hot, Hot and The Banana Boat Song (Day-O) are copywrited studio recordings that were not done by Jimmy. Placing them on the live discs would require permisson first, and I really don't think it would be worth the trouble. (wow, I...

Even the nicest people have bad days. One limo ride on one night shouldn't mark a man as mean. It's not like he beat up old ladies or kicked puppies. He was just rude and snappish.
