My lifetime assumption has always been that people who constantly say "to tell you the truth" aren't.
The "village idiot" you reflect on sounds like what's called an idiot savant as Dustin Hoffman portrayed in "Rain Man." One lives near me. I can't understand a word he says but his father tells me that he has a steel trap memory. I gave him some books with lists in them and he enjoys and memorizes the lists. * Scratch & Sniff sound like they were wonderful cats. * Re MyBloggers: I'm annoyed by the sudden infestation of commercial blogs. Perhaps if Eddie hadn't abandoned us, he'd know how to filter them out.
If getting old is an excuse for being cantankerous, that's okay with me!
????? Is Eddie even around anymore????
I watched it recently and I agree with your assessment. As you indicated, I did GASP at the two points you must be referring to in your review. Both actors were magnificent and the dehumanizing effect of her deterioration was almost more than I could bear.
Being the unromantic sort that I am, I ignore Valentine's Day. As far as I'm concerned, it exists as a conspiratorial creation of candy manufacturers, greeting card providers, and florists.
What wife could complain about a husband with two new balls?!
Don't worry, the dirtbag will eventually get caught. Then the public will pay for his lawyer, the prosecutor will cut him a deal to plea to a misdemeanor, and the soft-hearted judge will slap him keenly on the wrist.
Eating when you're hungry, not just due to time of day, is probably a pretty healthy way to do it. I wish I could do that.
One of my all-time favorite comedies!! Wilder can be a bit cloying, but in this movie he comes off well as a foil against Pryor.
A nice looking plant! Good for you.
This sounds like the way my wife gives me my meds...
On those few occasions when we go to Walmart, I'm always having to force myself not to stare. Then I start worrying about whether or not I fit right in...
