Big sign in the mess hall at some Marine Base that I was stationed at
"Every day is a holiday and every meal is a feast."

I've done 99% of our cooking for 25 years-- but my wife's been sick
too for a few months. Every article that they show about V-day
fussing she says- 'Don't do that' 'Don't do that' --

There was a teaser for 'The middle' [a sitcom] the other day where the
lady says- 'so it is settled- a bucket of chicken, sweats, and the TV'
-- We both looked at each other- and the night is planned!<g>

Though now she'll get a rose, too. She doesn't want it, and normally
it would be a waste of money, time, and a flower. But it turned out
to be part of the joke on the sitcom.
