Getting To Know You

[DeeGeMe]

By the way, the line, "Miss Congeality is something to which the women in my family have never aspired to anyway" is one of my entire family's favorite lines! We quote it often. I loved DW. One of the greats of TV.

And the whole math/science and reading thing? I'm horrible at math. Right now I'm running an $800 surplus in my checking account (it's been there for months--the bank insists that I have more money than I think I do) and I've never been able to figure out where it came from. I was so bad at science that when I was in college, I attended Physical Science classes 5 times a week--going to both the M-W-F class and the T-Th class of the same course (even though I wasn't enrolled in the second class), just so I could hopefully manage to figure out what the hell the instructor was talking about and pass the course. I got out of there with a C, but only because the professor knew how I hard I tried to "get it".

Meanwhile, I'm an avid reader and ended up being a writer/researcher.
So there may be something to that theory about reading and the lack of math/science ability, it's true in my case anyway!

[HomerMcvie]

Oh my Gawd!
Bob Saget funny??? I think not! He's not got a funny bone in his body. He's got dorky bones! Lots and lots of dorky bones, not to be confused with funny bones. Full House has got to be the worst show in the history of television!
Pardon the rant. That show makes me wanna barf!

JULIA: Excuse me, aren't you Marjorie Leigh Winnick, the current Miss Georgia World?

MARJORIE: Why, yes I am.

JULIA: I'm Julia Sugarbaker, Suzanne Sugarbaker's sister. I couldn't help over hearing part of your conversation.

MARJORIE: Well, I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone was here.

JULIA: Yes, and I gather from your comments there are a couple of other things you don't know, Marjorie.

For example, you probably didn't know that Suzanne was the only contestant in Georgia pageant history to sweep every category except congeniality, and that is not something the women in my family aspire to anyway. Or that when she walked down the runway in her swimsuit, five contestants quit on the spot. Or that when she emerged from the isolation booth to answer the question, "What would you do to prevent war?" she spoke so eloquently of patriotism, battlefields and diamond tiaras, grown men wept.

And you probably didn't know, Marjorie, that Suzanne was not just any Miss Georgia, she was the Miss Georgia. She didn't twirl just a baton, that baton was on fire. And when she threw that baton into the air, it flew higher, further, faster than any baton has ever flown before, hitting a transformer and showering the darkened arena with sparks! And when it finally did come down, Marjorie, my sister caught that baton, and 12,000 people jumped to their feet for sixteen and one-half minutes of uninterrupted thunderous ovation, as flames illuminated her tear-stained face! And that, Marjorie --- just so you will know --- and your children will someday know --- is the night the lights went out in Georgia!

BRAVO!!!!!

I'm usually hot (must be the Italian in me), so I wear as little as possible at most times.

Actually, I don't like to wear clothes and am usually hotter than others, as well...hmmmm....wait, maybe i just don't like to wear constricting clothes, so i keep my house really warm...ok, it's one of those.

Man, does that bring back bad memories! Except I was at the dining room table!

Both of my parents (as well as my brother) are extremely good at math, but not me. I struggled like nobody's business. I excelled in all the language arts courses, but did miserably in math.

Must be true...Deb, who is not mathematically inclined, can read an Anne Rice book completely in a day (Two days at most) and it takes me (A "4.0" GPA math student) about 5-7 days to read the same book.

Brian j.

You know, Brian, that really must be true. I always did really well in my language arts courses. In fact, I remember them telling me in 4th grade that I was reading on a first-year college level. The teachers used to even have me tutor my classmates who were having difficulties!

But math was a COMPLETELY different story. I even took after-school classes for math for a while.

I wasn't going to admit it, but since you did... when no one's around, my clothes are off.
I roll out of bed, get washed up, etc., but I don't bother getting dressed until it's time for someone to come home from work.
