Quite possibly my favorite line on a tv show, ever … was uttered by Marc, Wilhelmina’s over-the-top assistant during last week’s episode of Ugly Betty.
I can identify with his concern:
I’m too pretty for prison. They’ll pass me around like the collection plate at a Catholic church.
This is what I saw when I logged into Gmail this morning:
Scary part is, I almost believed it … saying, wow, that seems like a really dicey idea!
Have you seen these “Happy cows” commercials from the California Milk Advisory Board?
It’s got to be one of the best advertising campaigns I’ve seen in a long time. No matter what kind of mood I’m in, these commercials make me laugh. I will stop Tivo in its tracks to run back for a happy cows commercial.
They have all the commercials and bloopers on their web site. I love it. I’ve been laughing for the last ten minutes straight.
I can’t decide which one is my favorite!
In case you didn’t realize, I have an opinion on just about everything. And I’m very rarely shy about sharing it.
This isn’t a new thing.
From the Morris County Daily Record, Friday, February 17, 1995:
Wharton is lax about snow-shoveling code
To the Editor:
As a student at Morris Hills Regional High School in Rockaway and a resident of Wharton, I must take the bus to school each day. This, obviously, dictates that I walk from my house to my bust stop each morning and return home from my bus stop to my house each afternoon.
While this usually is not a problem, recently was an exception. On Feb. 6, there was a great deal of snow on the ground … and on the sidewalks.
Perhaps many readers are unaware that in Wharton there is a borough ordinance that requires snow be removed within 24 hours after it has stopped falling.
For those of us who do know this law exists, we certainly know the Wharton Police Department is very lax in enforcing this ordinance.
I have written to the police department in the past about this problem, and I received neither an answer nor action.
Through their negligence, the police clearly express their lack of concern for both the high school students who travel to their bus stops each day and the younger students, many of whom walk from home to the borough’s public schools.
I suggest anyone concerned by this delinquency on the part of our borough’s police department call the police station and request this ordinance be enforced. It is crucial to provide safety not only for an entire walking community of students but for the rest of the population as well.

In case you’re wondering, I never got any response from anyone on it.
You win some, you lose some.
Paul teases me sometimes because he says I’m too emotionally involved with the television shows I watch. But he’s just exaggerating … right?
Except for the fact that I get choked up watching old episodes of TLC’s What Not To Wear when the participants have emotional transformations as they get new wardrobes and hair styles.
That might be a bit over the top.
I have a few old text messages in my phone that I save, knowing that each time I stumble across them, they’ll make me smile, chuckle, or laugh out loud.
I promise never to tell you who sent them, though.
I find men that don’t carry on a single item, no laptop, no bag of any kind so … sexy. As if they had nothing better to do today but fly somewhere.
