It's impossible to stop him, unless I click the button which will disallow posters like PK and Misty from commenting.<br /><br />You'll help me greatly if you just ignore rather than engage and provoke more venom from them. <br /><br />Thanks.Zhouqin (C.C.)

I'll have to correct that when I turn 60 next year.<br /><br />Many thanks to a very talented C.C. for honoring me today. She's teaching me now just as much as I ever taught her. I would not be doing much puzzling if it were not for her inspiration. She pulls stuff out of me that I did not know was there. And very many thanks to all of you who cared enough to express your greetings today.

The Good W...I've always liked courtroom dramas. The Good Wife being the latest example. Boston Legal was another favorite. Of course, the courtroom scenes were often secondary to the character interactions. It's interesting how the writers have had to take the idea of courtroom dramas and change the real thing extensively to make it interesting. The Trevon Martin/George Zimmerman trial is a perfect example. The lawyers' interactions with the witnesses are repetitive and often annoying. Thank goodness, the one time I served on a jury wasn't too tedious.<br /><br />Two quiz questions:<br />1) Which same three-letter word can be placed in front of each of the following words to make a new word?<br />SIGN, DONE, DUCT, FOUND, FIRM, TRACT, DENSE<br />2) A rectangle has two and a hexagon has nine. How many does a triangle have?

Further more, I find young men to be great eye candy, but I find men over 50 to be sexier. Don't be insulted, you young eye candy guys. I'm too old for you.<br />I misspoke.
