Why is it that doctors cannot agree on anything. When was the last time you saw a story or advertisement that said - "Ten out of ten doctors agree..." Noooooo, it is always "nine out of ten..." or even "eight out of ten...". These guys need to talk.
I hate Cracker Barrel. There I said it. The place is like depression era Grandma's house meets Disney. In my case, I have only had two decent meals there as well (fyi, I have only eaten there five or six times in my life, because I hated the food the first two). It is expensive, the service is slooooowww, it is noisy, and they are crowded (which means there are a LOT of first or second timers - OR I am in the minority) I especially hate the "country store" that sells Chinese made versions of my nostalgia. Big Lots sells the same stuff in some cases - MUCH cheaper.

What is it with kids/parents and restaurants (or ANY public place nowadays)? Parents seem to think their five year old is "cute" going over to other peoples tables and watching them eat; or singing the latest inane song they learned on the latest "TV nanny show". Hey, I have no problem with kids. Kids can be WONDERFUL and a great joy - just not yours while I am eating!
Why do we listen to the infinitesimally small minority that wants meat to be banned, or us to leave Iraq today, or to bale out the sub-prime mortgage "victims", etc.? Probably because the media, for the most part is part and parcel to that minority and give it TOO MUCH ATTENTION!
I could go on and on, but I have a ship to catch.
Later.

I have not found any that are worthy of printing. I have come up with more questions: How does one handle seeing the continual decline of their spouse and not being able to do a thing about it? How do you take the inability of your 53 year old wife to get out of bed, or in and out of the shower unaided? How do you answer questions that beg not to be asked, like: will I see Bailey (our daughter, a rising senior)graduate; will Hannah (our granddaughter - almost 3) remember me; or will I see Landon (or grandson - 6 months) walk? How do you comfort your bride of 35+ years when she looks at you with tears streaming down her face? Most of all, how do you offer support and help when you are so damn mad at the world and the situa...
