She's certainly a pretty famous actor and gets a fair amount of praise, but most people don't know that she's a screenwriter too, and adapted the screenplay for Sense and Sensibility, a movie I really love.I think Adam Sandler deserves credit for his more serious roles. Most people see him as a childish comedian but he's much deeper than that, when he wants to be. less

I was thinking about my life.. people I've known.. things that happened.. and I got to wondering... what if someone hit and beat up their kids, allowed them to be abused... might they still be a nice person? What separates them from someone else who encouraged or drove them to do that.. is one a victim, are they both perhaps victims themselves? I suppose I wonder too... we are none of us perfect; we've all done things that others haven't.. like I think swinging and open relationships are perfectly ok for some people; and there's some research that suggests marriages in that set up are often stronger as there's greater communication and flexibility.. someone called me disgusting for saying that.. so we don't all think the same way.. what's right, what's wrong, what's good and what's bad... less

I'd been working for a company for a couple months with one other guy who was my boss, we finished a job early one day so he said go to his place sit around have coffee before reporting back to the office. He showed me in his tool shed -thousands dollars worth of nice tools. Next day I came to work his tool she'd been broken into tools all gone.I heard couple guys talking "might not have been HIM but he might have told somebody'. I worked that day but was told the company did not need my help anymore. What can ya do? less

My last one was messing up and the cord was unruly. It's sweet to me that he saw a need and fixed it.

I tried one thinking maybe they don't taste as bad as they look. Now I feel sick and it left a gross after taste. There is no expiration date either. I always have this problem with chocolates, that's why I never buy them as gifts and I don't want to tell her that it looks like she robbed them from a tomb. Should I just suck it up and eat the moldy mummy chocolates or throw them out or what? I'll feel guilty if I just chuck 'em. less

It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.But I think that the most likely reason of allMay have been that his heart was two sizes too small.Theodor Geissel (Dr Suess), How The Grinch Stole Christmas

A fortnight later she turned up at my home weeping and asking for help; and, knowing her life circumstances, I couldn't refuse. This happened about six months ago, and I help her out a little every month. No one at my office knows about it.She's truly repentant, and I've tried twice to get her reinstated, but to no avail. They're adamant not to have her back. Especially now that they've hired another woman in her place.
