Maybe we can repost this with a note NOT to reply that way it stays at the top? Is there a way we can sticky this?

Yeah, I was never a Bills fan, but it must've been pretty neat for people who WERE fans in that era! Phil is SUCH a down-to-earth Guy. He does some local TV/Radio telecasts of Bison football, and is well-regarded around here. Has a beautiful MN-lakes area home too. Denali....wow...Jack Kemp!! Now....if someone could fix my MN Vikings!!!! Faron

Yes, All those guys are getting so arrogant, esp Dan! They've won by luck a few times, but they act like no one can touch them! Even when he fell below the yellow line, Dan had his plan all thought out about how his team would save him-HA I'm surprised he only lost a pound though? Really proud of the women! Both big numbers! I'm surprised that neither thought to team up at the "arena" challenge. I guess I'm so competitive, I'm always thinking about that. Yes those "commercials" are annoying!!

Finally got to read this thread! What with a computer problem and watery eyes, I got all behind. As regards having a house elf, that would be lovely. When I returned to work about 40 years ago, after the children went to school, I tried employing neighbours who were 'stay at home mothers' to do a little cleaning for me but after a couple of weeks they decided that they liked having their own money and got fulltime jobs! I picked up a couple of audiotape books from my local library for $1Aust each, that is really cheap! I have not tried listening to books until recently but found it ideal as I could not read for too long with the watery eye problem. Now I'm hooked because I have to listen word-for-word instead of skipping as I often do. It does seem to depend on the person reading how much I enjoy the book. Sometimes I disagree with their pronunciation and correct them as I would have done with my children when they did that! I have picked up an edition of Thackeray's "Vanity Fair" which has his illustrations. Very interesting but it was a pity that he did not like Regency fashions and clothed the characters in mid 19th Century styles. I could not relate to them like that. We are used now to seeing the correct dress in the TV and film versions usually although the Greer Garson 'Elizabeth Bennet' was dressed incorrectly, I seem to recall.
