Hey John

I assumed Marsha was talking metaphorically when she wrote about being
termed angel/asshole alternately. An angel isn't  a conceptualized
being of light but rather a good and righteous person who isn't out to
hurt anyone but help. And an asshole isn't an asshole that we crap out
of, but rather, well, an asshole, vengeful and intent on causing bad
feelings.

Of course, you knew that...

Aren't we?

Dan:
I read where some idiot quit her job to go around spreading the word
about the end of days that are supposedly coming May 21, 2011. Good
God. All this silliness about 2012 is starting already. Don't these
people realize the calendar of the Mayas is open to interpretation?
That there were some assumptions taken during translation that render
the dates completely arbitrary? 2012 may have already taken place!

In our head, yes. That's where it all happens.

Of course.

I just have one question, John. If a man and wife get divorced in
Arkansas, are they still considered brother and sister?

Thanks,
